Advance reviews on the Doctor Who finale say it still leaves dangling plot threads. I like a underscored mystery, but at this point there's literally a dozen or more unanswered questions/mysteries/plot points that it's driving me crazy.

Personally I love this about Moffat's run on Doctor Who. By keeping an ongoing story instead of wrapping everything up each season and starting again next season, it makes the whole thing feel more coherent, more epic, and generally more worth watching and getting invested in.

If there aren't things left unanswered, there's nothing to think and wonder about between seasons.

Is the Doctor Who finale really only one hour? Maybe I was spoiled by the awesome Pandorica two-parter last year, but one hour just doesn't seem like enough time!

Yeah. The season already had three two-part episodes (two of which done by Moffat), so not having one for the finale doesn't bother me. So long as it's a good episode I'll be happy, and considering that Moffat is writing it there's no way it won't be great.

The problem with Who ending with a lot of unanswered questions is that because of the Olympics next year, the BBC will not be airing the series over the summer, and will most likely postpone airing the series until Autumn. So we'll have a full year long wait,; even longer than between the series of Battlestar a few years back.

Doctor Who was fun.

How I Met Your Mother was pretty good, albeit melodramatic.

Dancing with the Stars involved a Nancy Grace nip-slip which, while funny/horrifying in itself, involved ABC cutting away to the <a href="https://jezebel.com/5844114/did-nancy-grace-just-accidentally-expose-her-twins-on-live-tv";>most unintentionally hilariously bored looking audience possible</a>. Also laugh-worthing on Dancing (oh God I'm shortening the name), and dipping more into my opinions: the gay man and the transgender woman have been paired up with the two most attractive dancers on the show.

I would watch 2 Broke Girls just to stare at Kat Dennings and I'm not ashamed to admit it, but thankfully it's about 60% funny 90% of the time.

Castle was fun, albeit a little Marvel-pluggy.

I've been there, hombre.

I'm also enjoying 2 Broke Girls if mostly for Kat Dennings. I finally saw the New Girl pilot, and I liked it a lot. It's a shame Damon Wayans is going back to his other show, though; Coach was one of the funniest parts of that pilot.

Sons of Anarchy is really great this season. Definitely feels like a return to the quality and feeling of the first two seasons so far, and that's nothing but a good thing.

How I Met Your Mother is pretty fun this season.

After dropping it for about two months, finally started getting back into Breaking Bad. Four episodes into season two right now. I don't think it's quite as great as everyone makes it out to be (this could change when I see more), but it's definitely a good show and I definitely will be watching more. Probably tonight and tomorrow.

Unsurprisingly I think Terra Nova is awesome.

Though, to be fair, even if it was terrible I'd think it's awesome. Dinosaurs. I'm an easy sell.

Crono can cross dimensions too!

I was really hoping the cameo on HIMYM was going to last more than an episode. She was always one of my favorites. I wonder how much longer it will be until the forshadowed part at the end of the episode starts to piece together.

Currently Playing: Dark Cloud 2: 3 hours.
Also Playing: CT, FF VI, Solatorobo, Secret of Mana, Halo 4.
Just Finished: Fable II: 7 hours.

Probably it won't pop up until the season finale, knowing HIMYM.

I don't know if I can say anything that hasn't been said.

HIMYM and Big Bang Theory have been good.

2 Broke Girls...I dunno. It's funny, and then it's not. It just feels so scripted, like sitcoms of yesteryear. I love Kat Dennings but everytime she's in a scene her dialogue just seems so cheesy. I feel like it should be on TV Land or something.

Sons of Anarchy has returned to form. I'm just going to pretend season 3 never happened.

I love New Girl, but miss Damon Wayans already. Seriously, my wife and I were confused last night and wondering where he was, had to rewind and get that 30 seconds of dialogue about him "moving out". Still a hilarious show. We love how Zooey just randomly breaks out into song...mostly because we do the same thing. The "it's Jess!" during the opening is hilarious every time.

I'm done with Glee, I honestly just don't give a shit anymore. It's overstayed it's welcome. Also was trying to get into Ringer...and yeah, no. Just can't. I'd think I'd rather watch The Secret Circle over Ringer, which is just sad.

I love Castle, so much. Definitely still my favorite show this time of year.

Started watching Wilfred (US Version) last night. Having watched the pilot through episode 2, I'm generally intrigued. I can't decide whether I really like it or not yet though...

Yeah, she was my favorite of all Ted's girlfriends, so I kinda hope her proposal doesn't work out. I thought the whole Barney-hibachi subplot was absolutely brilliant.

It will either grow on you or you'll find it more bizarre than funny. That's the opinion I've seen from others I've talked to who watched it. The doggy daycare episode is pretty much the quintessential Wilfred episode for the first season.
