Sci. Fi. & Fantasy TV premiere roundup

"Bionic Woman"-yes, a remake, but good and guest starring Katee Sackhoff from the new "Battlestar Galactica" (who doesn't like romance and good hand to hand combat?).

"Dr. Who"-fantastic! (not a season premiere but who cares? Season three is the best of the new version so far, possibly the best overall so far. I can't wait to get it on DVD. I could go on for waaaaaaay too long here about all the good stuff but, suffice it to say, the plots are well thought out, the dialogue is well-written, and the acting is a joy to watch. Oh, and did I mention that the Captain Jack Harkness character is back?).

"Moonlight"-ok, sort of a remake ("Forever Knight" anyone? I still miss that show and I haven't found it cheap on DVD yet, btw.) but good, funny, & co-starring Sophia Myles who portrayed Madame du Pompador in season two of the new "Dr. Who". The line that made me laugh out loud tonight was a question asked of the main character (lonely, 90 year old, vampire with morals, private detective) by his best friend (400 year old, rich, investor, vampire) about the A+ from our hero's stash of blood bags: "What is this? Lowfat, decaf, soy, vegan, blood?".

"House"-love it and, yes, I know it's not Sci. Fi. or Fantasy, and it's premiere wasn't on tonight but I watched a re-run while waiting for "Stargate: Atlantis" to come on and I was laughing throughout the episode.

"Stargate: Atlantis"-still good but I miss Carson's character (on the upside, I'm intrigued by Elizabeth Weir's character becoming a bad guy).
