I'm not going to talk politics today. You know why? Because as soon as I turned on NPR this morning I heard Joe Fucking Lieberman being interviewed then I heard about the MA election results. On the way home I gave NPR another chance when who do I hear? David Fucking Frum. All I can say right now is fuck NPR, fuck the Democratic party and fuck American politics.

Right, but I'm not going to talk about that.

Instead I'm going to say yay for a bunch of sleepy, getting-along kitties and yay for Leverage being back on the air! Also...7 of 9 is now on the team? I thought Gina was pregnant last season and damn if I wasn't right. I look forward to her return after her maternity leave. Much as I like Jeri Ryan and am glad she's got a job, I much prefer Gina :)

So I'm two episodes in to "Leverage" and I like it. Don't love it, but I do like it and I'll probably keep watching. I've got the first 6 eps so I'll finish those up at the very least. I keep waiting for Timothy Hutton to impress me, but so far he seems to be the weakest link on the series.

On the other hand a show I just stumbled upon that rather kicked my ass is the UK show "Demons". Imagine if you will Buffy the Vampire Slayer with, and I shit you not, Gene Hunt in the role of Giles. You may think I'm exaggerating here but Philip Glenister is one of the stars of the show and yes he is basically playing Giles. His first name is even Rupert.

The basic concept is that a young man living a normal life is suddenly introduced to his rather odd godfather who presents him with his destiny. In this case, he's told he's the last of the Van Helsings and was born to fight creatures from the "Half-Life" with the help of his warrior godfather, the Van Helsing library/weapons cache, Mina Harker (now a blind musician) and his pal Ruby. It's definitely got the Torchwood monster of the week feel to it, but I've only seen one ep so far so maybe they'll introduce some larger story arcs.

The show's not, you know, great tv or anything, but it's charming, well-paced, is a rather well conceived shout out to Buffy and has a rockin' soundtrack. It basically had me from the theme song and kept my attention all the way through, not too many shows can do that these days.

BTW, [livejournal.com profile] elo_sf, the lead is pretty hot and spends at least a couple of scenes shirtless. Just sayin' ;)
