Hahaha I loved Gaius the most out of all the characters (with Helo, Bill and Gaius in-head Cylon just behind). He changes so much throughout the entire series.
Also "No more Mr. Nice Gaius" :lol :lol Man, I hope he gets cast as Littlefinger in Game of Thrones.

Interesting. I bailed out after S3. It just got too crazy and depressing for me - felt like I was in an abusive relationship with the show.Spire said:
I haven't been able to find any information on S2. Not sure what the hold up is, though McBride is doing a decent amount of film work these days.gdt5016 said:

Just wait until you see S2. 
Monarch of the glen is a truly great slice of life show for the first four seasons, and the fourth season concludes perfectly (everything afterwards is a spinoff basically).
Absolutely fantastic TV show, in a very old fashioned kind of way. No violence, or evil or any of that stuff, just quirky characters and an interesting situation for them to deal with. Stunning location.
A lot of humor, some heartwarming stuff and a little mushy stuff as well. Very hot looking women that don't look like runway models. Chicks that have some meat on their bones.
I just loved the show. Season 3 is one of the best seasons of TV I've seen anywhere, and I've seen most of the great shows.
It's kind of like watching a Larry Mcmurtry novel in the sense that it just gives you a set of interesting characters, and puts them through some situations that elicit reactions and make you want to befriend them. The show establishes a universe that you want to be a part of.

Same, what a great pilot. Its funny how I write off shows based on misinformation that I gathered from a misleading picture, rumour or whatever and than when I finally watch the show, its totally amazing. For example, I thought breaking bad was some western, slow paced shit on AMC, because I saw this picture of what looked like two cowboys in that era. I though Lost was a glorified Gilligans Island before giving it a chance in S2, etc.
You would think I would learn to stop judging things so quickly but its just human nature I guess.

I just saw the first season of chuck while playing pokemon.
IM SORRY I MISSED THIS SHOW GAF.

Watched Dead Like Me for a school project, wasn't sure what to expect from it but left plesently surprised. One thing that get'sme is how unexpectidly depressing a lot of it is, the character of Reggie for instance, like she has absoloutly nothing going on in her life except hanging out for the hope that she'll see her sister agian. I had to watch like 4 episodes in a short span of time and think I came away from the experience slighly traumatized.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
8 episodes into Mad Men season 3, was pretty meh up until "A Stranger Walks Into an Ad Agency" episode. Probably one of my favorite MM episodes thus far. The lawnmower incident had me in tears, especially after Roger Sterling made a joke about it :lol

Love that show. As I've said before I would have been more than happy with a songless 3rd season.
So I'm halfway through season 4 in my big Lost marathon. I'll spoiler my text just in case anyone is watching the series for the first time like me.
Anyways, I love this show and I'm so glad that I decided to give it a go. For non-comedy shows it's one of my all time favorites, probably 2nd to the Sopranos. I'll most likely be caught up with the entire series before the finale which is really cool.
I'm also watching Mad Men for the first time. Great show and it's nice for a more down to earth break from Lost.
Wow, this show was kind of "out there" before but it's really gotten crazy in season 4. Part of me misses the simplicity of the first season. It was just about a group of people trying to survive on an island with the occasion hint of mystery or intrigue, there was no time travel stuff or confusing twists. That being said, I'm still enjoying the hell out of season 4. The Desmond/Faraday time travel episode was so good and I like most of the crazy stuff. The only thing that has me confused is the futurecrap with the survivors off the island but I'm sure that's some kind of alternate universe stuff. I wish I had some theories on what the hell is going on, but I got nothin.

I see.
There were a few confusing parts, like Kate owning Claire's babby (she must have died ) and Jim somehow seeming alive and buying the Panda when he's actually dead and Sun is having her own babby. Also Ben stiching up Sayeed at the Vet office was crazy. I'm glad they're doing it, though, I don't think I could have put up with another season of back stories.

The Jin thing was a fakeout.
Making you think that both Jin and Sun got off the island, and it was a flashforward of them both, when in reality it was a Jin flashback and a Sun flashforward--and the latter reveals that Jin died and did not get off the island.
So, I'm at the back end of Babylon 5 S5.
I saw S1-4 about a year-ish ago, and I've talked about how much I adore S2-4. I didn't watch S5 at the time, mostly because alot said it sucks.
Anywho, S5 is okay at first, but ever since the big conflict this finally starts (a couple episodes after we get done with that bullshit Telepath arc) it gets back to being regular fucking awesome B5. Thank god.

Currently Watching:
House
Lost
Law & Order SVU
South Park
The Office
Breaking Bad
Waiting for:
Dexter Season 5 (Such a great show)
In the Queue:
Oz
Lost (Re-watch it after season 6 is done)
Sopranos

Just finished watching Rome for the first time. That was some damn good TV. The acting was fantastic, but what really got me were the set and costume designs. Loved it! Now I know what I am going to be bugging my friends to watch.
Also several episodes into season 4 of Supernatural and am really happy at the quality of this show. Its really a lot of fun to watch, and I think it has come a long way since season 1 which I almost quit on. Also without spoiling anything, is season 5 the final one?

No it's not the final season, CW picked it up for another season. The creator originally intended the show to be five seasons. Season 5 is just as good as season 4 btw
Anyway I've been watching the John Adams miniseries. It's pretty good so far but it seems to be going at a fast pace. I notice it's only 7 episodes instead of the usual 10 so maybe HBO cut the episodes or something.

Thanks for the Supernatural info! I am glad I have more good stuff to look forward to with season 5 and beyond.
Hmmmm, I just noticed all of Rescue Me is now on Netflix Instant. I think I am going to give that a chance next.

i marathoned seasons 1 & 2 of BREAKING BAD, and it was one of the most emotionally devastating weeks of my life.
Was looking for a new show today so tried Spartacus.
:lol What an absolute embarrassing abomination of a pilot. :lol
Obviously made by someone who thought 300 was the pinnacle of literary achievement, the writing and acting was piss poor and the special effects were just trash. Was the whole show made on a green screen? Because that's what it looked like.
And the blood. Fuck man, I could do better blood in Adobe After Effects. Slow mo, that's new and fun. Haven't seen slow mo in a few days.
But nice tits though. And bush.
I think I'll try Breaking Bad next, sounds good.

Late to the party with X-Files! I only saw 2 or 3 episodes a couple of years ago. Watching the first 2 seasons on DVD in the evening in bed makes it even more enjoyable.
