I don't think debt collector is a very good occupation during an "end of the world" scenario.


But he still collected from the Cylons!

SGU is still on probation in the NetRunner household. I'm still waiting for them to come up with a theme other than survival. For example, give us some antagonists, or at least some compelling potential benefit from discovering the ship.

I also liked the initial offering of V. I'm curious how many episodes it will take before the teabaggers start carrying reptilian Obama signs.

I've also been watching FlashForward. I loved the novel, and the series is definitely taking a very different direction than the novel (the Flashforward in the novel was a freak accident, not part of a shadowy plot).

I'm looking forward to the Prisoner remake that's coming in a couple weeks.

As much as I like all this new/remake Scifi, I do find myself craving a nice, predictable, upbeat Star Trek series. Everyone wants to be the new Battlestar Galactica, but no one seems to be going for that simple morality play format that Roddenberry pioneered.

I'm getting sick of antiheroes in my sci-fi.

Fixked, thanks for the note.

The Wire
Deadwood
Six Feet Under

in that order.


Then
Battlestar Galactica
Dexter
True Blood

in that order.


Trust me, your girl will enjoy the shit out of True Blood and BSG.

Deadwood is an utterly brilliant series that unfortunately got cut short part way through it's last season (It had 3). So if you like some Shakespearean level swearing (it really is beautiful in its profanity), and wonderful characters, go Deadwood, just know that it doesn't end as it should.

My Wife and I were both very much into Six Feet Under for the first 2 seasons I think, then the stations here killed it for us by moving it around timeslot wise so we lost track.

But those two seasons were brilliant.

My Wife swears by the West Wing, I've never gotten into it.

Also, Battlestar was brilliant also for us both, but yeah, you have to be willing to watch sci fi for that one.

Toss up between Six Feet Under and Battlestar Galactica. Follow them with Dexter and True Blood. As for thinking your girlfriend wouldn't enjoy the latter 3, don't be so sure.

Venture Bros. It's good for laughs, not really a big drama though.

West Wing is a "talker", so you have to be into that. But it's much like House, but in the White House. I like it.

House MD is awesomely awesome.

The IT Crowd - British sit-com about IT workers. It's very British and very funny.

I thought Deadwood was alright, but it's a "hard" series. Lots of grim stuff happens there. They swear like dock workers with ball-cancer.

Battlestar Galactica is really good until the resolution of the series which just ruins the show. Don't watch that.

I've always felt the reason "cutting edge" CGI never feels photo-real is because of the perfection of the camera work. The movies and shows that take the extra time to "humanize" the camerawork --District 9, new Battlestar Galactica-- end up looking "photo-real" with less resolution.

I liked both the first and the second. I think the third was sort of a let-down. Sure it was even more of an action movie than the others, but they don't really explain anything or give anything any sufficient meaning. I do still like all three though.

I think the worst aspect of this phenomena happened to me with Battlestar Galactica. The final episode ruined the whole BSG universe for me and made it lame, so much that I'm not interested in whatever else is being made in that universe. Which is a shame really, because it was really good up until that last piece of shit.

Oh man, I'd really love to see this, if only it weren't for the fact that Battlestar Galactica DIED in the last episode. It died a horrible death and what's happening now is just beating the dead horse.

Just go away, already.

Can we install it on our TVs to make "shaky-cam" bullshit shows like Battlestar Galactica more watchable?

My hobbies include: watching battlestar galactica, listening to heavy metal music, and cruising around in a shopping trolley at 45 miles an hour.

Looking back, I reckon the show jumped the shark as soon as they started talking about gods and prophecies, which are always such lame plot devices. I should have stopped after season 2. I loved the show until it became apparent that the writers hadn't got a clue about how to resolve the major arcs of the story - the story was not planned from the start, and the supernaturalist bullcrap that littered the show turned out to all be literal angels and gods, instead of resolving properly.

I suspect this cheap and obvious retcon will do little convince me that the writers of Battlestar Galactica had any kind of plan whatsoever. At least, not beyond the the unforgivable "Goddidit" bullshit that the series ended with. I cannot express how disappointed I am, still, with the way they threw the show away after having me hooked and hopeful for so long. RAGE.

One of the best seires on TV to date.
Id put it up there with battlestar.
