After I watch the third episode of House of Lies I'll post an updated opinion - I've watched too many premiere episodes too quickly this past week. I was away the previous week on vacation and a bunch of stuff piled up.

I did forget to mentioning the Walking Dead - very much looking forward to that even though this season has been relatively slow. Good character-based drama nonetheless.

Mad Men is another one I forgot to mention which I'm really happy is finally coming back on the air.

I really liked Alcatraz, saw the first two episodes (previously recorded) last night. Interesting concept, some mysteries outside the main one and IMO, very well executed. And a really funny line that fit perfectly well within the episode, but also served as a really great throw-back to Lost. I'd quote it in a spoiler tag if I could remember it exactly.

For the life of me I can't remember what the River is supposed to be about, but I'd noted it for "checking out" sometime last year for whatever reason.

Bitt, around here a back door pilot is something else entirely. Sort of like a blind plumber. Canada is still pretty far from Hollywood in some respects I guess.
