The last calendar week of 2009 offers a chance to mull on the last twelve months , reevaluate our life and decisions or , alternately , settle down in front ofTwilight Zone , Doctor Whoand Mythbusters Marathon . gauge which we ’re choosing ?
Monday
A surprisingly strong start to the hebdomad comes in the form of a couple of marathons . Discovery has a day of Mythbusters come out at 9 am and wind up with a brand new instalment , “ Mini Myth Mayhem , ” at 9 pm , while Syfy shoot the Doctor Who route and hunt down with a Sarah Jane Adventures marathon from 10 am through 3 pm .
For those seeking more high - forehead , independent motion picture thrills , IFC is showing 1995 Australian ecology alien movieAlien Visitorat 9:45pm . Here ’s the precis :
A beautiful alien is sent from the planet Epsilon to pass perspicacity on the shameful way in which humans have mishandled their planet . Set in a near time to come in which humanity has made great tread in cleaning up the Earth , it begin as a grandmother tells her granddaughters a tale from the past . Her narration begins in the desert outback during the dark meter when mass were actively destroy their planet . The naked alien is placed upon the desert where she finally run into a surveyor who quickly gives her some clothing . As the two travelling across the country , the alien constantly admonishes him for his slipstream ’s neglect and greed . She informs him that other intelligent life forms regard humans hopeless failures . Using her power to jaunt straightaway to any of Earth ’s locus , she take the bewildered surveyor on a whirlwind tour to leaven her point .
( Also , moderately much completely off - theme , but there ’s a two 60 minutes block of Community rerun on NBC at 8 pm , for those who wonder where Chevy Chase is these days . It ’s not SF , but I recommend it even so )
Tuesday
With the exception of ABC’sBetter Off Tedat 9:30pm – the first of two sequence this week – it ’s all about the movies today . you could go for encampment horror flush on AMC with Jack Nicholson wolfman movie Wolf ( at midnight ) and the two Ghostbusters moving picture at 11 am and 1:30pm , respectively , or else some Greco-Roman anime with Howl ’s Moving Castle on IFC at 6:50am . determine your TiVo .
Wednesday
Unless you ’re looking for the 11 post-mortem examination AMC display of Aliens , it ’s pretty much up to ABC ’s Eastwick at 10 am to keep the flaming of television animated with young episode “ Magic Snow and Creepy Gene ” :
When the women make a pact never to bring out what they did to Jamie , they gain they must go their freestanding ways — and abandon their powers . A hangdog Joanna seek to help cent find closure ; arc fly between Kat and her raging raw neighbour , individual dad Colin , who has add up to Eastwick with his new son Gene and a sullen secret . Just as Kat and Joanna are move on , things get complicated for Roxie when Darryl returns to Eastwick with the truth about his occult past times .
Thursday
As if knowing that you ’re very unlikely to be watching telly today , there ’s a scarceness of great programming available … Although , we have to admit , we love the contrariness of Syfy ’s Twilight Zone marathon , which starts at 8:30 in the morning today and runs until Saturday morning .
Friday
See in 2010 with as much David Tennant as you may stick out : At midnight , BBC America begin a rerun of the entire Russell T. Davies Doctor Who run , leading up to Saturday ’s “ The End of Time , Part Two . ” Yes , the whole thing , over what ’s pretty much two days . It ’s kind of awesome .
If you ’re not a medico Who fan , though , there ’s always another Mythbusters marathon on the Discovery Channel ( 9 am through 3 am Saturday ) .
Also , there are novel episodes ofBatman : The Brave and The Bold(7:30pm ) andStar Wars : The Clone Wars(9pm , and it ’s a forked nib of “ Grievous Intrigue ” and “ The Deserter ” ) on Cartoon web . And there ’s an all - Modern Better Off Ted on ABC at 8:30pm ( along with a rerun of the first episode of the Modern time of year at 9:30 ) .
And if even that is n’t enough , then AMC would like your attention : They ’re depict Voyage to The Bottom Of The Sea at 9 am , Alien Resurrection at 11:30am , and all three Matrix pic bug out at 2 post-mortem examination . Of course , there ’s also 24 solid minute of Twilight Zone on Syfy , as well …
