OK... Heroes, BSG, and Veronica Mars are all over. Blood Ties is on hiatus until later in the year. I'm watching Dr. Who as it airs, is there anything else I should be watching?

Someone suggested Painkiller Jane, and I've looked at the episodes they've shown, but haven't been very impressed - looks like a cross between Captain Scarlet and NCIS with vaguely defined "evil mutants" (who mostly seem to be very small scale evil) as the bad guys.

Any other recommendations?

I've been watching Supernatural on ITV from episode 1 last year and it ticks a lot of boxes for me. Some of the plot lines are a bit too 'this weeks urban myth' but I like the way a lot of the dialogue is written and the over arching plot is keeping me interested. Negatives, I've heard people comment on the acting not being great, but that's obviously something I'm not overly sensitive to (unless we're talking the guy who played Anakin/Darth in the 'second' two movies). The background plot may just be a 'keep watching/making this' tease rather than something with a predetermined end point (ala Buffy's absolute season arcs). Apparently they've got funding to film a third season.

For some reason Supernatural leaves me cold, no idea why.

cruising through your entries - I agree on this. I think it's because the plotlines are so incredibly derivative. Not that much of scifi/fantasy isn't, but, well, there are only so many "homages" a show can do before I think it's just ripping off. The few episodes I tried to watch were rehashes of Buffy, Xfiles and many other things I'd already seen.
