Prime Picks
Tower Prep (Cartoon Network): New. “Whisper.”
Stargate Universe (Syfy): New. Col. Young is dealing with visions of a dangerous alien attack. Plays again later.
Sons of Anarchy (FX): New. SAMCRO goes on a protection run in Ireland hoping to get their hands on Jimmy, so they can find out why he has been lying to them about Abel. Runs 63 minutes. Plays twice and again later. This is just a flat out great episode with explosive consequences for the gang and Jax’s plan in particular. Really looking forward to see how what happens tonight affects things for Jax and his deal with Stahl.

Too bad about Caprica – but not surprising. I started out watching it – but gave up after a few episodes. In spite of a stellar cast, the characters just didn’t interest me. Nobody I cared about – and most (all) behaved really stupidly.
