Before the great event that is the season premiere of Lost descends upon us, I should perhaps say a few words about other television shows, which I haven't given up on, despite light blogging about it. I just haven't had much to say about White Collar, which I am watching only the extremely shallow basis that Matt Bomer is pretty (and yes, while I know the actor is gay, he is bisexual In My Head, which is the only place I'm likely to meet him anyway), or Leverage, which I am still adoring, despite not exactly feeling the love for Jeri Ryan's guest character, although she looks great if impractical in those short black skirts, but to make up for this, shirtless Hardison! I think I speak for many of us when I suggest that shirtless Hardison should be a strong, strong part of the future of Leverage. In fact if by some twist the Leverage team can only succeed in their stunts if Hardison strips, this is a plot twist I could live with. I'm just saying, Rogers.

(And if you haven't been watching Leverage, do yourself a favor and so do – it's a fun show.)

But, as said, I don't have much to say about these sorts of caper shows, or the romantic-mystery-comedy show Castle, another love of the season. I do have a lot of negative things to say about the horrific unevenness that was Dollhouse's second season, otherwise known as, when good concepts go wrong, and why suddenly attempting to squeeze ten years of plot development into ten minutes is likely to make me blink and go, er, what, but that possibly deserves a separate post of ranting.

Which leaves us with television's ongoing attempt to make us lose our dinners, Fringe.

( Spoilery for recent Fringe episodes. )

The Internet says so, so it must be true: Dollhouse has been renewed for another season. Or, at least half of another season. There. Now many of you can sleep well tonight.
