I'm so relieved that you managed to get ahold of Doctor Who's finale... and I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.
No, no...I did enjoy it. I just was a little disappointed in it. ;-)
Now we are going to get American Horror Story and Grimm.... (so maybe we'll get a little horror and fantasy.... who knows).
Actually I think Once Upon a Time might be more fun. It has a bounty hunter who doesn't believe in fairy tales discovering from the son she gave up ages ago that she's actually the daughter of Snow White, but the fairy tale world has been frozen into the real one.
Grim is basically another horror procedural. And American Horror Story has been described as kinetically morose take on the haunted house (ie. think Amityville Horror meets Nip/Tuck).
There's some interesting stuff popping up mid-season, Awake (about a man who in one time-line lost his wife and in the other his son), Smash ( a musical dramedy about putting on a Bway show), Alcatraz about prisoners who mysteriously disappeared 40 years ago and are now randomly popping up again (which sounds like The 4400 meets Criminal Minds).
Cape and No Ordinary were last year - and sort of sealed the end of the superhero trope, or Alphas might. I think the superhero trope may have hit its saturation point, too many of them.
It sounds like you found Contagion to be way more entertaining than most of my friends (who found it creepy and they kept washing their hands) - I haven't seen it my own self.
Hee. I read about the Ebola virus in the 1990s. Once you read Virus Hunters (real life people going into the jungles of Africa and dealing with the Ebola virus) and Hot Zone ( a real life case study of an ebola virus that almost got out of the lab and infected the US.) - Contagion is nothing.
Plus? I've been watching Fringe. It's basically Monster Disease of the Week.
No, disease movies don't phase me. If it had been The Thing or a movie about monster spiders? Or about serial killers? Or evil little creatures coming out of the closet? Now That would have bothered me. LOL!
