short dramatic presentations

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.

    Thanks for your comments. It is really very hard to compare these to the singalong blog, in which I was most impressed by the music. I really hated the end of the last episode of that, and even having people go "that's Joss for you" didn't really fix that feeling.

    How would you compare these to Dr. Horrible?

    Very different animals...but I'll try. (comedy vs. drama)

    I enjoyed Dr. Horrible because of the music, the story and the all around novelty of the idea. But although I enjoy it immensely, I wouldn't count it as great.

    As overall shows, I would count both the new BSG and new Dr. Who as great. If you lean more towards soundtrack experience, then you have to go BSG because the writers spent considerable amount of time on the music. It is very well done...more along the lines of what you'd think of for major motion pictures than a television episode.
