Watched a bit of Vikings in the weekend, in order to cure my hangover. My verdict; it's pretty okay, but they do have a tendancy to make plot choices that seem unnessecarily easy, almost lazy.

Could be a lot better if they'd get better script writers i think. I'll keep watching i think, it's decent popcorn entertainment.

To those for whom it's not too late (I wasted a good 6 hours):
Skip "The Following", except if you're some staunch weirdo Kevin Bacon fan for some reason, or like forced illogical asinine FBI tactics that allow the plot to keep plodding along.

Det. Esposito and Det. Ryan need their own show. :up:

i was thinking about rewatching Heroes... never saw the final season due to writers' strike and a dispute between Time Warner and our local NBC affiliate.

ps- i'm also over Castle. like Bones did many years back, it's run its course. should've ended it a couple seasons back with a big twist about how the entire thing was a story being written by stephen king or one of the other guys from the poker games.

So what's some good sci fi ?. I've been trying to force my way through Revolution and shit like Falling Skies, Fringe makes me wanna choke myself.

Might give Vikings another go, I barely made it past the 1st episode.

I've been watching Continuum since the start. I like it but it's been a really slow buildup. I was not going to say anything to recommend it (or say anything against it) but I've just finished watching the last episode and it has now totally opened the show to it's full potential. I just hope it keeps staying interesting and not go full retard now that the cat's out of the bag...so to speak. (I'm trying to avoid giving spoilers)

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:

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.

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