[quote name='Kirwan']Chuck gets cut slack by me for having one of the Firefly cast on it. I've turned into one of those sad sacks that are desperate for a Serenity sequel.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Everytime you get that way just remember the Ren-fair aesthetic of most of the series. Barn dances Kirwan, barn dances.<br />
<br />
You must watch Castle then?<br />
<br />
BTW, only seen a few minutes of Chuck, but Chevy Chase turning up as a bad guy was pretty sweet. -

Space cowboys, mofo, space cowboys. Plugs directly into the Han Solo part of my childhood.<br />
<br />
This is all I've seen of Castle;<br />

I watched the pilot of Castle, seemed interesting. I'm a big fan of Chuck, and assume it will return to TVNZ when something else finishes. Also a huge fan of Firefly/Serenity - I had it sent to me on VCD from the USA and then bought the DVD set as soon as it was available on Amazon (but all downloading is bad, even when it leads to you buying something).

[quote name='taniwharugby']halfway through S2 of Breaking Bad and enjoying it, dark comedy, well written and acted. <br />
<br />
Think he son is a superb actor. <br />
<br />
Enjoying Flash Forward.<br />
<br />

Over Lost already, the whole alternate world is peeing me off, not to mention the new people in this world (I dont recall Jack having a teen son) and then we have this whole new village of people...at least we are almost halfway through the last series![/QUOTE]<br />

The temple will get blown up in the next episode we will see here in NZ. The alternate universe is boring at the moment but like I said earlier I think the two realities will merge towards the end and it will become more important and more interesting. -
Apparently Syfy are in talks with Ron D Moore for a second spinoff series set in the Galactica universe. Good times.<br />

Caprica is slowly growing on me. It was a slow start but now, that virtual universe of theirs (and the people stuck in it) is getting very interesting. -
This new series on FX sounds good:<br />

With Timothy Olyphant starring, I am hoping for a modern day Seth Bullock. It has been getting great reviews. Starts tonight at 10PM est time US. -
having had my MySky hard drive crap itself on Wednesday and a new one not til Friday, got through the rest of S2 of Breaking Bad.<br />
<br />
Great series, really enjoyed it, the starting scene they used for a few episodes that related to the final episode was a well done, got you thinking alot, and in the end, quite simple! -
Just finished watching the first episode of The Pacific. Started off on the homefront but didn't linger there too long which was good. It doesn't focus on one Company but seems to be about two squads but in different divisions. One of the squads didn't actually turn up until the end of the episode.<br />
<br />
It's going to be hard to live up to BoB but the first episode was good enough for me to think it will come pretty close. -

Great season of TV, with some excellent (and much needed) comic relief from the Pinkman character. I think that this is about my favourite moment of TV from the past year:<br />
<br />

Came across online M.A.S.H The 30th Anniversary Reunion.<br />
Was cool to see the gang some years on (2002).<br />
<br />
Its crazy Harry Morgan is still going. -
getting hugely annoyed with Lost, too many things either dont match up with things we know, or are made to appear out of sync (in the daft alternate world) glad it will be over soon....<br />
<br />
Have got the first series of Deadwood, which I've heard good things about, and was pleasantly surprised to see Timothy Olyphant in it as well, think he is a great actor, especially as a bad or dark character. -
I'm curious if the HBO comedy series "Mr. Show" ever made it down to NZ...?<br />
<br />
So, didya like, or not?<br />
<br />
Me, I'm a fan. <br />
<br />
Love SCTV and Larry Sanders Show, too.<br />
<br />
I guess The Wire is probably my fave tv series of the past decade (me and just about everybody else).<br />
<br />
For all the cliches about how I'm Captain Anti-America, my favourite TV series is PBS "The American Experience." Never seen a bad episode, and most are superb. You can view some of the episodes online:<br />

Start with "The Lobotomist," and begin working backwards. That's the beauty - you don't have to watch every episode, but nearly every episode is unforgettable. -
holy shit this 'alternate world' bs on Lost is wearing thin.<br />
<br />
*****spoliers?? like I'd care<br />

<br />
I mean it appears it is a completely alternate, alternate world, with few factors linking back??<br />
<br />
Sawyer, not only a cop, but the fact his partner is MIles<br />
Lock, never been mention of a partner (Peggy Bundy) <br />
Jack, any mention of this kid before?<br />
Ben, a school teacher who teaches at the same school as his daughter on the Island, but she isnt his daughter here (not to mention I am sure Ben was born on the island, yet this character seems so different)<br />
<br />
Hurley has still won the lottery, which is obviously to do with the numbers that were about in the first series...only thing keeping me going is how the fuck they'll tie it all together and finish it in the next 9 weeks! <br />
<br />
Also been watching Deadwood, good series, love Ian McShanes character, Al!! <br />
<br />
Also Robin Weigert as Calamity Jane!! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
also interesting that most westerns most speak so normal, yet the amount of swearing in this is funny, but when you have all these rough tough cowboy folk in the wild west.... -
Looking forward to seeing that, at least Fring answer bloody questions as they go.<br />
<br />
I'm only watching Lost to see how they try to wrap this up, it's bloody painful. Funny TV though, I feel like how they are portraying Sayid at the moment, sitting on a log looking sullen at all the bullshit around him.
