Various things
Local harvest: tells you about local growers, organic suppliers etc. Australia only.
I finished Season One of Fringe and quite liked it, I eagerly await Quickflix sending me Season 2. It's not deep and the scifi doesn't bear much thinking about, but I like the characters and emotional tone and am enjoying the plot arcs despite various logic holes. Apparently I should stop before season 3?
I am about halfway through Bodacious Space Pirates (subtitles give me headaches if I watch too much) and so far I very much agree with Ember's review. An example of the pacing problems: we know from the opening credits that the main character ends up a pirate captain, yet it takes 5 of the 26 episodes for her decide to do it...then suddenly she's on the bridge knowing everyone's names. I initially assumed I must have missed a crew-and-ship introduction scene, but no. Then they have a gratuitous "introduce the crew's names and roles to a visitor" scene several episodes later, once I've figured it out from context. WHY. But other than the pacing I really like it.
I quite liked the most recent episode of Doctor Who. It had some issues (eg plot holes, though I didn't find them as distracting as some), and I wasn't as overwhelmed by FEELINGS as a lot of my friends, but it was sweet and affecting and did was it was aiming for. I am overall enjoying this season much more than last season, and look forward to seeing what happens next.
Look at my awesome new coat and somewhat less awesome new haircut. I thought the local hairdresser should be able to manage a "approximately replicate the last haircut" trim. I WAS WRONG.

Season 2 ends on a cliffhanger, so if you're not satisfied with leaving off there, I recommend watching up to 3x08. In retrospect, that was the last time Olivia was truly herself, truly the center of the show. (*weeps* I'm not even bothering with S5. I hate tearing myself away from ongoing shows but it's SO BAD.) And there's a pretty good resolution of the aforementioned cliffhanger.
I dig that red trim!
