    I actually think this latest series of Lost could have been a stand alone one! <br />
    <br />
    Most of what I have seen if it were it's own series is quite good, but in the greater scheme of things, it sucks big ones as we know we are gonna be left majorly disappointed with whatever the conclusion is (assuming we even get one)<br />
    <br />
    The Michael appearance pretty much a non-issue, am guessing in the alternate world him, Walt and the dog never got on the plane.<br />
    <br />
    Interesting Desmond seems to all of a sudden be integral to alot of goings on, even though he must have been, given he was on the island before them all anyway

    finished S3 of Deadwood, not as good as the 1st 2 and finished like there was to be another series, but it got canned...disappointing end really.

    cbf scrolling through all the pages of comments so here're my thoughts on the series I follow:<br />
    <br />
    Fringe S2: Went nowhere for half the season but was still enjoyable. It's starting to pick up now.<br />
    How I Met Your Mother S5: Starting to get frustrated with this show's lack of storyline, though it still has great gags.<br />
    The Big Bang Theory S3: Someone remind me why I watch this?<br />
    Lost S6: Been following this on TV2 and for all my criticisms of their coverage, this season they've stepped up. This series of Lost is amazing!<br />
    30 Rock S4: Hilarious.<br />
    Parks and Recreation S2: Think The Office UK meets 30 Rock and you're close, this show's really great. Relies on a lot of character humour rather than one-liners, so if that ain't your thing...<br />
    Bored to Death S1: This show is great, it's about a writer who gets writers block on his second novel and decides to try his hand as a private detective instead.

    Last weeks was absolute gold!! Easily the best comedy about at the moment. The character they have made (the tall one, name escapes me) is simply genius (no pun intened)<br />
    <br />
    I love it how he isn't into woman and everything thing they do passees over his head. Brilliant

    Sheldon... <br />

    Last night was gold as well! Easily the funniest thing on TV, surpasses 2.5 Men for me, which gets by with alot of funny innuendo, whereas BBT is clever, obviously based around Sheldon's complete inept social skills, but funny none the less.

    Not sure if they were extended. I can't remember the difference between the extended versions and normal

    I watched an episode of "The Young Ones" last night, and it hasn't aged well. However, i did still have some laugh-out-loud moments (Adrian Edmonson and Rik Mayall were that show, being complete idiots) but then i can be very juvenile.

    I just have to say, Breaking Bad is to TV what Dan Carter is to rugby for me at the moment. Awesome, awesome stuff.

    I don't know if any of the other ferners have seen it but I've recently acquired a couple of series of the UK based BBC comedy "The inbetweeners". This show would have to be the funniest comedy I've seen in a while. It's basically about a 16 year old private school kid who suddenly has to go to public school and he starts hanging out with a group of guys who don't quite fit in. More awkward moments and laughs than any series I've watched for a while. <br />
    <br />
    Definitely worthwhile if you come across it. I think it can also be watched on youtube

    <br />
    wow, so we now know where the black smoke came from, we didnt really need to know where it came from, it is black smoke that kills people FFS! <br />
    <br />
    seemed just a way to pad up the final series to me...

    the pool of light thing was pathetic. it looked like a paper mache playboy grotto. as a stand alone bit of tv, had it had nothing to do with rest of Lost, it was ok. but as a tie in it was shit!

    I think Ian McShane actually showed up for the first day of shooting for season four before he actually found out it had been canned . Apparently he was pissed when he got the news .

    I reckon this entire series could be a stand alone, but the episode last night was pathetic, I am sure it has some bearing (hope) but it felt like buying time to me.

    Didn't it give the big reveal about what they are guarding? I thought that was the whole point of the episode.
