New shows can always be wishy-washy, but I am rather pleased with how Fringe is turning out. Some of the sheer nonsensity of it aside, it is starting to come together as some really exciting television. With only 10 of the first season's 22 episodes in the books, there is some pretty excellent groundwork laid down, and I'm pretty much hooked. JJ Abrams is well-versed in the art of drawing the viewer in searching for answers, but instead giving them just enough of a glimpse to spawn more questions.
Joshua Jackson, better known as Charlie Conway, does a remarkable job of keeping things at least mildly grounded in reality and tossing in a good amount of wit. Additionally, Olivia Dunham. Hot.
She is ambitious, driven, confident, sexy, and all the things that scream "independent woman" like 10,000 girls at a Beyonce concert.
Dexter.
This season, while good, had yet to really come together. That was until the past 2 weeks. Things were humming along a steady pace, and then outta nowhere!! things went nuts! Martin Lawrence truly said it best, "Shit just got real." It should be wrapping up in a few episodes and I am preparing to shit some bricks.

Thank you.

It continually impresses me with its selections (and therefore omissions) and the fact that something so sweet exists in the first place. Also, you can get it on your iPhone/Crackberry/ a few other phones.
A big shout out to Dogishead and Gman. This is some sick nasty for real shit. (aka I really appreciate the effort that you two have put in to make this series what it is.) It is alarmingly refreshing to see someone be able to dissect and teach in such a clear and concise way. A lot of love, and please keep it coming. Also, Snipes and bosoxx, you kids are doing some great shit too. I love all of it.
Pandora.
In case any of you still live in the stone age: Pandora.com is a free internet radio station site that allows you to create stations based on artists or songs that you like and will play music that is similar. You can thumbs up or thumbs down to fine tune your stations. It (usually) is really good about going through songs that you already know you like, and mixing in new music that you might like also.
Some sweet stations: "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", The Killers, Vampire Weekend, and Sigur Ros (great for reading).

The weekend awaits... I'm headed out tonight to some Xmas party in Boulder, should be good times.
