Fringe season 2 Ep 20

Astrid and Walter babysit Olvia's niece Ella. Walter tells Ella a story involving the characters of the show which is set in a 40's noir with modern touches (mobile phones and PCs). It also has singing!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with it's mix of Chandler and Hammett with touches of Princess Bride and Willy Wonka.

Doctor Who mini review (no spoilers)

Just finished watching the first episode of the new series (series 5 or series 31 depending on how you count it) with the new Doctor, played by Matt Smith. Quite enjoyed it. Then again that tends to be the way with all the eps of Doctor Who and the various spin off shows. Only thing I didn't like was what they have done to the theme music. Could be because I've recently been listening to Delia Darbyshire's work. Maybe the theme will grow on me. Also thought the new companion was quite good.
