I caught a few eps and wasn't up my alley. I might go back to it through lack of choice and the promise of 'something' though :smirk:

I liked Sarah Connor chronicles but shows like V or Alien Nation aren't usualy my thing. They're more dramas in disguise lol, but then I'll quite happily rewatch every episode of Stargate + Atlantis + Universe :dork:

Some alien cop dude going around catching other dudes doing illegal and alien things.

lol I started watching outer limits the other week :P, a lot of the episodes are very miss but a lot of films have been worse.

Getting boring now so might give sliders a go, might be a few eps I ain't seen in later series and doubt I remember much of it :up:

Definitely putting this series on record:
http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/how-its- ... ars/558452

They're going in and showing how all kinds of exotic/luxury cars are made like Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls, Maserati, and Audi.

Speaking of Science channel, through the wormhole comes back tonight.

Nurse Jackie.

Just watched the last episode of season 4 via Amazon last night and I am already in withdrawal. Going to subscribe to Showtime so I can watch season 5.

This show is just unbelievable and I recommend it.

Hmmm, spotted Jeff Fahey and BB Hank in there. Could be good.



Fuck me, this is terrible.
Watched the first 3 episodes, but just couldn't carry on anymore.
Even Hank couldn't save it.

7.9 doesn't look too bad

edit
ah, I was about to say, check on other shows you like and see what score they got... too lazy to look for the top 250 list, any link?

half the hype is because it's subtitled. it's completely humourless, the central character's entire schtick is that she's a woman acting like a man and wears the same sweater every day, and plot turns are often highly implausible

it was however amusing to say 'Trrrooooels Hartmaaahn' and get a smirk of recognition from other people who'd watched it

lol you mean to tell me that NOBODY is watching The Walking Dead anymore? I mean, how are audiences going to get their weekly dose of bad actors unable to shoot accurately at anything except zombies and bad actors crashing cars because they utterly and completely refuse to pay attention to the road during a zombie apocalypse? The kind of show that MUST have idiot characters for any sense of drama?

Nobody is watching? What a shock. lol

I tried watching this. My verdict was that it's a super boring version of "OZ" for women. One woman disrespected another and I kept waiting for the scene where she gets shanked in a back room but instead they just worked out their differences by talking :dork:

heh, I had the walking dead on hold because I was, as Donny puts it, smashing through Breaking Bad as well. It is my intention to watch season 4 but in all honesty, I don't feel much excitement for it. It's just that I did enjoy the first 3 seasons to some extent and I prefer not miss out on it.

House of Cards is high on my To Watch list now.

I hate Walking Dead. After everyone trying to convince me that it's great I picked it up in season 1, 2 and 3 to try and force myself to enjoy it.

Just thought it was poor plot with shitty characters and no development. Kinda what I expected and not really surprised that a Zombie series couldn't work, find it surprising how many people like it tho. It's an infuriating show.

But then again I hate TV, apparently :)

Yeah I have friends that love it and I've seen a few with them just cause I was over there. To me it seemed like they had a pretty standard routine of Action in the beginning, 35 minutes of boring and 5 minutes of action at the end. All with characters that I didn't give a shit about and were really unrelateable. Some of the actors sucks too, some were good.

Who introduced you to Firefly ?, HMMMM ?

It's Star Trek, it comes with plot filler. Can't remember 3 out of the 4 series of Enterprise ?. Don't bother with Voyager either en ;) . I think Captain Proton will twist your little jimmies.

Watch Season 1 / 2 of BSG tho, or just the pilot. It's quality.

I tried an episode of this to soothe my scifi craving but alas, i rate it as some of the worst in the genre to ever hit the TV screen.
