I've started watching Fringe, and it is fantastic! Not so great when it began, but a few episodes in and I'm hooked! Highly recommended for sci-fi fans.

I agree Fringe is great...walter is a hoot! (" I like cutting") LOL, I like 'Life', Dollhouse, and 'lie to me' BBC has some great shows like Top Gear, and Hustle. The best all Time is 'House' though imo.

Absolutely. So far, it seems well worth another season. The same goes for Dollhouse.

Yeh, Fringe had a few episodes that weren't much good, and then there was a 5 or 6 week pause in it and they came back with a fairly weak episode right away. But overall its a pretty good show, and it has a decent season finale.

Saw Sicko, a documentary film by Michael Moore, a couple of days ago.

Quite a comedy.

Battlestar Galactica........

I just finished watching the final season of BSG from the DVD set.

I just can't apply the superlatives that I would like to this series, I'd be accused of gushing.

I've been a fan of almost every Sci-Fi movie or TV series for more than 40 years, but this show has managed to integrate the vastness and complexity of the human experience, mysticism, and mythology better than any other format I've contacted, be it written, feature, or TV serial. Perhaps even musically.

All the people involved in the creation and execution of this story, have brought a reality to the ugliness and the eclecticism of man, in way I believe never before achieved.

But just for good old, down home, storytelling, this show makes Beowolf look like a nursery rhyme.

I got into BSG late, somewhere around the start of 2.5 or 3. Watched them all from the beginning, I was impressed. Although I think season 2.5-end of 3 or beginning of 4 was kind of weak.


For summer I've been watching:
True Blood - HBO
Hung - HBO
Weeds - SHO
Nurse Jackie - SHO

Weeds isn't near as good as it once was, but I just watch it out of habit now. True Blood is decent, Hung is pretty good, and Nurse Jackie is alright. Dexter comes back in about a month so I'm excited about that.

The section I think you're referencing, revolved around the humans starting a colony on a planet they called, "New Caprica", which was then subjected to a Cylon occupation. I've heard that particular section of the story called, "the most depressing show on television". I took it as part of the story that needed telling. It was hard to take though, no joy as it were. But, occupations in wartime are most definitely based in fact. That said, I've watched every PBS documentary on the holocaust and Auschwitz I've known about. Those weren't your basic, "NBC Comedy Thursday" fare either.

The beauty of the BSG saga, is that it was allowed to complete, and it coupled into back into the human experience. The most difficult part of creating a successful Sci-Fi show, is creating a mythology that compliments our hopes, psyches, beliefs, and value systems. This show borrowed from, and melded with, the beliefs and values already present in all of us, in a comprehensive way, that prior to BSG was never done.

After watching the fifth season of Andromeda deteriorate into incoherence fueled by Kevin Sorbo's ego, by comparison, and even in its own right, BSG went out in a blaze of glory.

True Blood has a similar ambience to one of Quentin Tarentino's "Grindhouse" movies, at least the teaser episode that aired on network TV did. But with no cable, no joy on that one for me. I keep meaning to open a Net Flicks account, to catch up on some of the cable series, albeit an season late. Stargate Atlantis Season 5 comes to mind as a must see also.

I haven't seen them in so long I can't say with any certainty that this is true, but I think that those episodes just didn't have anything in them to make you say "wow" or "awesome" or "holy ****". I don't mind sadness/depressing stuff if the story is good, the story was good throughout. I just think it became less awesome for a period.
