The Fifth Season of Lost begins tonight at 9pm on Sky 1 and Rachel and I are well excited. Let's hope, with only this season and one more to go, we start to get some understandable answers.We're also getting answers in the final season of Battlestar Galactica, also on Sky 1, which began on Tuesday (such as the identity of the Final Cyclon). But that doesn't mean to say I'm much clearer on what the frak is going on! I'm beginning to suspect they're ALL cyclons!
The geeky goodness continues on Sky 1 on Mondays with Day Seven of 24 as Jack's antics get more frenetic and far-fetched. Each episode is an adrenalin-shot to the heart though (à la Pulp Fiction) and compulsive viewing, although you still get the impression that at least half the time they are making it up as they go along.
Saturday's sees the only British entry in my "must watch geek TV" weekly schedule: Demons. It's not great, but it goes some way to filling that Buffy-shaped hole in my life, now that the Slayer is no longer on our screens.
And finally, the lovely, brilliant, sweet and funny Pushing Daisies returns to ITV this Friday for its second (and sadly) final season.
All in all, that makes for a good week of "must see" television - pretty much an hour a day - without dominating everything else, and leaving plenty of room to experiment with any new programmes and documentaries that catch my eye.
At least it should keep me going until Easter, when we have the next Doctor Who special to look forward to.

2 persons have something to say about this!:
Being Human, over on BBC3, has just become my favourite show of 2009 (I know, I know, it's still January). It certainly makes a welcome change to the boring old Sunday evenings.
Weirdly, they've been promoting it as a comedy. But it's less of a comedy than Buffy or Dr Who are. For a low budget urban fantasy drama it's very good.
Then again, I also like Hustle. :)
It clashes with Lost, so stood no chance in this house :) Also means can't tape it as we tape Lost for Rachel's parents!
However, I shall check Being Human out on iPlayer. Thanks for the recommendation.
