Alright! Alright... no I haven't seen BSG. Not the original or the new one. Okay?! I'm sorry!
But, yeah, seriously, it's already on my list. Though I hear the finale was fairly upsetting. Not sure what that really means, obviously, but it's prevented me from getting started. |

Really?!
That's great to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed the BSG ending. It's nice to know there are people that found it satisfying. It's weird because I'm a pretty big sci-fi/fantasy geek most of the time. I love Star Trek TNG and Quantum Leap an The X-Files (despite their various flaws) but I never found BSG. I think it started at a point in my life when I really was too busy for TV and I just never caught up. So far my list of must-see TV to netflix looks a little something like: 1. Deadwood 2. The Wire 3. BSG 4. Fringe 5. Mad Men 6. Sopranos 7. Firefly 8. Breaking Bad 9. Rome 10. Alias Good? Anything else I should add to the list before I run it by the Mrs and see which we should start with? Last edited by Red Brooklyn; 06-17-2010 at 05:47 PM.. Reason: I forgot Breaking Bad |

Wow, that's a lot of catching up to do! I would also recommend The Shield, but that can probably wait.

Any other HBO/Showtime shows worth checking out? Rome? Carnivale? Californication? The Tudors?

I will second Brock's yes on Rome. It is very authentic in its production. And there is some great historical events and people to witness, as well. Some of the historical accuracy is stretched (for instance, Octavian's mother being such a bitch has no real historical accuracy, and Octavian sleeping with his sister was invented as well), but all in all, it is very authentic. A lot of drama in that show. A show about history, brotherhood, war, politics. I really loved it. And they are coming out with a movie, I've heard, so that is very exciting.

I really liked Rome, too. One of those TV shows that makes me want to actually go out and read some historical non-fiction regarding that time to learn more.
And for those of you who liked Rome, be sure to check out I, Claudius. It was a BBC miniseries from the late 70s. The sets are pretty cheesy, but holy hell there's some good acting and good story in there. |

A'ite. One more.... on another board someone posted a link to an EW article talking about a possible Alias reboot. I've never see an episode of Alias, but a reboot at this stage seems immature and a little silly. Regardless...
Would anyone recommend this other JJ Abrams brain child? How do we feel about Alias? |
