Cynical Nation

Regular readers know that I've been a huge Kolchak fan for thirty years now.

So of course I'll be watching the debut of Night Stalker tonight. I won't be live-blogging, because I want to pay attention, but I'll share my thoughts tomorrow. I'd been bracing for the worst ever since I heard that Stuart Townsend had been cast in the lead role. To me that's a little bit like redoing the Rockford Files with Leonardo DiCaprio or something.

But today I'm pleased to note that Linda Stasi has given it three-and-a-half stars, and pronounced it "very good." She's probably just setting me up for a fall, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
