short dramatic presentations

[netmouse]

Does anyone have any comments on any of these Hugo nominees? I don't watch these shows:

“The Constant” ( Lost) Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof, writers; Jack Bender, director (Bad Robot, ABC studios)

“Revelations” ( Battlestar Galactica) Bradley Thompson & David Weddle, writers; Michael Rymer, director (NBC Universal)

“Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead” ( Doctor Who) Steven Moffat, writer; Euros Lyn, director (BBC Wales)

“Turn Left” ( Doctor Who) Russell T. Davies, writer; Graeme Harper, director (BBC Wales)

If you know where I can find the episodes, let me know. I will decide whether or not to vote on this category based on people's comments and hopefully on seeing them.

On the two Doctor Who stories, I agree with dave_gallaher - the two-parter is probably the better sf story, and certainly the more accessible for viewers who don't know the series. I wrote it up here (though with spoilers) and "Turn Left" here (though also with spoilers).

I have never watched a single episode of either Lost or BSG apart from the two on this list. The BSG looked very pretty but was a bit impenetrable unless you know what the Cylons are or why finding Earth is such a big deal, and I didn't. "The Constant" I thought was an excellent story, taking one of those basic sf themes of someone adrift in their own timeline and doing it very well. I wrote them both up, along with Dr Horrible, here.
