Come read my thoughts on EPCOT's first thirty years:

Okay, TV stuff...

Doctor Who - not saying anything, not ready BUT FYE did have those blind bags of DW characters and I got...WEEPING ANGEL!

The Crimson Petal and The White - I'm going to try and forget this ever existed...

The New Normal - I'm probably not sticking with this, some of it is fun and some is annoying.

Go On - Awful and I'm not even trying that chimp thing; it has Tyler Labine aka kiss of death for tv shows.

Guys with Kids - This was okay.

Bones - This needs to be at a better time. It also seems to lose at my DVR roulette...

Revolution - I tried but me and Dystopia don't usually mix well...I found it unrealistic, similar to Torchwood: Miracle Day.

NBC Thursday - I love everything so far except for Andy who I now want to slap on a regular basis.

How I Met Your Mother - I've watched since the pilot. I had no problems with watching The Avengers. I never thought of her as Robin then. Now I watch the show and think...wait, but you're Maria Hill...

Partners - David Krumholtz, yay! But it was meh

Castle - YAY!

Fox Tuesday Night Comedies - It's becoming Must See TV...

The Neighbors - This is supposedly the worst show on television but I liked it. It's reminiscient of TGIF back in the day and one of the children had a Duffy Bear! I know ABC is a Disney property but this is the first time I've seen Duffy in a fictional setting.

Elementary - I actually enjoyed it but I find myself disassociating it and pretending that he's more of a loosely based character like House than Sherlock himself. It doesn't have the same fun as Moffat's Sherlock where you can see how they based it off the original work. They're completely new here.

Fringe - I'm utterly lost.

Once Upon a Time - SQUEE! Dementors? WTF? Mulan sounds like Natasha Romanoff...it's not a bad thing but... Oh, they're Ringwraiths? WTF? Umm...yeah

The Good Wife - This show has one of the best casts ever and pretty good writing to go with it.

666 Park Avenue - This show could either be tremendously awesome or really, really awful. I'm undecided but I do miss Rachael Taylor's real accent although it appears sometimes.

Ugh, I need Gossip Girl and Arrow...

I can only give my impressions of DW, Bones, and Revolution, since out of everything in your list, those are the only ones I've seen. Now then, here goes :].

Doctor Who
I can sum up my opinion of the first half of the current season with a fave episodes list. In order, they are:

1st- "The Angels Take Manhattan". I thought this ep was the perfect way to say goodbye to Amy & Rory. I never really got attached to either of them, so I didn't cry at all, but there were definitely some very moving, heartbreaking moments/scenes :). *Nods* It also had a good mix of everything that makes the show great— a good story, some great drama, it was creepy/scary (e.g. the Baby Angels & their unceasing giggling. *Shudder*), there were some funny bits, and great performances on the part of all four actors 8).

2nd- "A Town Called Mercy". Great story, and we got to see a much darker side of the Doctor, which I always like :).

3rd- "Asylum Of The Daleks". An interesting take on the Daleks, though not quite as interesting as the one in "Dalek" or, IMO, "Daleks In Manhattan"/"Evolution Of The Daleks". Loved the conversation between Amy & Rory about why Amy, paraphrasing her words, let Rory go. The best thing of all for me though? Jenna-Louise Coleman's Oswin (who I really hope is the character she'll be playing come Christmas) :). She completely stole the show 8)! I took an immediate liking to her the same way I did Donna in "The Runaway Bride" :). *Nods*

4th- "The Power Of Three". This one started out well, but the reveal of the cubes' purpose & how quickly the problem they caused was resolved was completely unsatisfying in comparison to the rest of the ep :[. The biggest highlights for me were the indirect nod to the Brigadier via his daughter & UNIT (and the assistance they gave the Doctor), the return of Brian, and the character development of Amy & Rory.

5th- "Dinosaurs On A Spaceship". Mostly fluff, but good, fun fluff that, unlike "Curse Of The Black Spot", wasn't shamelessly derivative, so I enjoyed the ep much more. My most favorite things were Brian, his & Rory's interaction, the pissy robots, and the little glimpse of the Doctor's dark side we got toward the very end. The character of Solomon was quite good, too.


Bones
I liked last season, Booth/Brennan & Booth/Brennan/Baby Christine cuteness and all, and am enjoying the current season so far (though I missed this week's ep :() 8).


Revolution
I've actually liked what I've seen of this so far. There was quite an interesting twist in this week's ep. It wasn't entirely unexpected, but the details of it most definitely were. *Nods*
