What did you watch on TV last week (w/e February 28)

Here’s what I’ve been watching – not much because of the Winter Olympics, it turns out:

  • Being Human: Nice ending to the season. Wasn’t expecting any of that, although Kemp going all mental was a bit silly. A whole lot darker than expected, too. And good to see where just about every plot thread went. Wonder if Whithouse and co are big fans of Ultraviolet, though.
  • Burn Notice: Surprise twists aplenty and a good storyline. Good to see Fi getting an examination of her back story, even if it didn’t go anywhere or go into much depth. Carlos Bernard’s Argentinian accent left a lot to be desired. Chris Vance’s storyline – as expected – went nowhere, but in a good way.
  • The Deep End: It’s over and nothing got wrapped up! Everything just sort of finished. Just to reiterate, virtually all the cast are very nice and need to get jobs elsewhere, even if the whole show was awful.
  • Lost: A Jack episode, but we didn’t all want to turn off. How mysterious and unexpected. Good to see Claire in action again, too.
  • Life Unexpected: This week’s slightly famous female guest star was that woman who played Dale Arden on Flash Gordon. So not that famous. A fairly clunky way to write out a character and as a moral for the episode – “women, whatever you do, lie in order to save your relationship” – seemed a strange choice.
  • 24: A terribly boring episode rescued by an almost acceptable final 10 minutes. But I’m sorely tempted to give up this season, because it’s just been so very, very dull.

But what did you watch?

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please. If you’ve reviewed something on your blog, you can put a link to it here rather than repeat yourself (although too many links and you might ge

Sitting Tennant

Monday’s St David’s Day Sitting Tennant (week 9, 2010)

Ms Rullsenberg's Sitting Tennant

Prynhawn da. Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant hapus! Shwd ych chi?

Of course, you’re okay: it’s St David (Tennant)’s day. I do hope everyone has their leek or daffodil (complete with tin foil at the bottom to stop leakage) stapled to their lapel to celebrate. Or have you gone all Whoey and put celery in instead?

If the trauma of that floral fashion choice has all been too much though, have a delightful picture of Saint David of Tennant enjoying his day of worship to help you get over it. It was provided by Ms Rullsenberg so thank her one and all.

The phrase you’re looking for is "Diolch yn fawr iawn". Or maybe it’s "Oes, oes, oes" this time.

  1. Rullsenberg: 65
  2. Toby, Sister Chastity, Sabine: 45
  3. Karen: 35
  4. Erin C, Rachel: 20

Over in the caption competition, the unsurprising winner was the returning Marie – clearly her break having rested whichever muscles Sitting Tennant uses, leaving her refreshed, vibrant and ready for more – with SK a close second (no points for that unfortunately). That takes us almost back to the days of Persephone-level communism with Jane Henry, Rullsenberg and Toby all at the top, and Rachel, ecg and Marie tying as well. We’ll have our tractors before years-end at this rate.

Good luck finding a caption this week: it’s going to be hard.

  1. Jane Henry, Rullsenberg, Toby: 35
  2. Sabine, Electric Dragon: 20
  3. Rachel, ecg, Marie: 15
  4. kellyann06, Sister Chastity: 10
  5. SK: 5

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Monday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Monday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
