Idiot box

True Blood
Is quite good, I'm pretty sure I'll be addicted now but not in a 'its a good programme way' more in a guilty pleasure way. I actaully think Anna Paquin is quite good for once and Bill the vampire is pretty hot. Vinnie from Home and Away is Anna's sex crazy brother and is a bit gross. It seems to be getting better, but I think majorly aimed at single women, so far it's pretty Twilight but with loads of blood and sex and no Robert Pattinson.

Strictly Come Dancing

Is annoying because it clashes with X-factor but it was pretty good last week. I really like Chris and Ola, Joe and Kristina and Phil and Katya. Ali Bastian is less annoying recently but Tess Daley is still dead behind the eyes.

Generation Kill

So far I don't like it as much as The Wire and the characters are less likeable but I'll persevere.

Eggheads

Has been quite good recently, yesterday the challengers were well close to beating the eggheads but it was not meant to be. CJ was being particularly gross and Judith particularly bad.

Question Time
I can't decide whether I like Question Time or not, I enjoy watching it I guess, but most of the time it makes me hate everyone apart from David Dimbleby. I nearly always get annoyed with the Lib Dems because they always seem to be saying silly things and making me cringe a bit or be annoyed that I don't like any of the parties. Having said that, Norman Baker was actaully ok last night and didn't say that many things I disagreed with. Surprisingly, I think I was actaully most sympathetic to Damian Greens views last night, although it hasn't done much to change my views on the conservatives as a whole. Dame Joan Bakewell was doing quite well until she started chatting about feminism and how if more women were employed by Royal Mail then there wouldn't be a strike *sigh* Nigel Farage (UKIP) was there, he was obviously a bit of a dick but I guess not as awful as he could have been. Alan Johnson was alright I suppose, he made a quip about Nick Clegg claiming expenses on some napkins but Dimbely quickly put him in his hypocritical place. Umm and he wasn't very liberal about freedom of speech, saying he would never debate with BNP. But overall he was quite good.

In conclusion, not a bad episode and there was the added highlight of an idiot in the audience making a total dick of himself, excellent. And as David Dimbleby pointed out, it was quite pantomime-esk at the end with people booing the BNP and cheering John Sergeant.

X-factor
Oh Olly Murs I don't think I could possibly love you anymore, cutest guy on the planet ever.
