My kids and I just finished watching Continuum on Netflix. That is a great TV show. If you have a chance to watch it I highly recommend it. Maybe the best (by a country mile) Vancouver-cast show that has ever been made. IMHO.

I've actually been enjoying the Strain quite a bit. Fairly good recreation from the book. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do the last two books since I didn't enjoy them as much as the first.

Black sails Season 1. Pirates and titties
Through the Wormhole Season 2. always enjoy this series
Masters of Sex. Just downloaded
I cashed in a variety of points and got myself some iTunes gift cards and loaded up on some shows. I just have fast internet and no cable because that shit expensive! Apple TV actually has a lot of truly free stuff that I watch, including SkyTV for 24 hour news and a separate weather channel station. I know how to watch sports so I'm not hurting in that department.

Masters of Sex is quite surreal at times, we're kinda blasé by all this but to think these guys were pionneers in such a complicated field to research is truly amazing.
And also, it has Lizzy Caplan

That capture is quite interesting. Reminds me of a movie I saw recently: Shirley, Visions of Reality. Which, unfortunately, I can't really recommend to anyone. Are all the scenes filmed like this?lotek wrote:

Star Trek Voyager - I like the concept but Neelix really gets on my nerves. Also, where are the sexy aliens, why do they all have to be ugly?

I liked Voyager. Like every ST show that was ever made (save for TOS), later seasons are MUCH better than the first two or three.Freakzilla wrote:Star Trek Voyager - I like the concept but Neelix really gets on my nerves. Also, where are the sexy aliens, why do they all have to be ugly?

I'm on the fourth season and I DO like it, some of the characters just annoy me but that would probably apply to any show.Omphalos wrote:I liked Voyager.

So you have gotten through the Kes episodes, and are into the Jeri Ryan episodes, and you see no sexy aliens? Get your eyes checked, amigo.

Leto II is gone for good, except for OM. The "pearl" was just that; a miniscule portion of what Leto was, and not a compressed version of the whole. The pearl that the worms have do not make them Leto, or in any way similar to him.

Re: Television Shows you are watching on TV or DVD now.
I watched the first episode of Battlestar Galactica a while back. Enjoyed it, but never got back to it.
Decided to watch Episode 2 yesterday evening when Netflix informs me the first episode was viewed 5 months ago!
I'll try and stick with it this time.

Re: Television Shows you are watching on TV or DVD now.
the first episode '33' is considered one of the best. That being said, there is some epic television in that series.
Try and avoid any spoilers, and I'll say this, they are the masters of cliffhangers. As much as binge watching is in right now I'd even suggest waiting a few days after a cliffhanger to watch the follow up, to let you feel the excitement.

I might get the temptation to binge watch, but it isn't a usual thing for me. I think the only time I did that was with Archer, and a bottle of Jager was involved...Ampoliros wrote:the first episode '33' is considered one of the best. That being said, there is some epic television in that series.

33 is the next on the list. I think the two before it must have been pilots (or something similar); they were both well over an hour long.

Yeah the pilot was actually a mini-series to test if a series would work.

I've been binge watching Star Trek: Enterprise. I feel sorry for the dog.
I don't know why I've never watched it before but the first season has surprised me.

Re: Television Shows you are watching on TV or DVD now.
Watching Agents of Shield Season 1.
Took a few episodes to get going, and while it has it's weaknesses, I'm really enjoying it.
You can just assume I'm continuously re-watching all of Archer...
Also keeping up with Game of Thrones from week to week. Good stuff. Brutal as fuck.
