Plus this next season is it's last, which IMO is good, it will make the entire series leaner and we won't have to deal with filler episodes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-82080321260665719332008-01-07T15:18:00.000-08:002008-01-07T15:18:00.000-08:00I've heard good things about Battlestar but haven'...I've heard good things about Battlestar but haven't seen it. I thought the first two seasons of Lost were good but the third was muddled. I reached a point where I thought to myself, these writers have no idea where to go with this. That sorta took the fun out of it.yoggothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233852251148460524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-86454988197255836302008-01-07T10:47:00.000-08:002008-01-07T10:47:00.000-08:00Ok, I've put the Wire of my netflix queue, thanks ...Ok, I've put the Wire of my netflix queue, thanks for the recommendation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-26429851935422456872008-01-04T14:37:00.000-08:002008-01-04T14:37:00.000-08:00The wire is an amazing show.

I saw a few episodes of the 80's version and thought it was kinda cheesy, but a friend of mine convinced me to check out the new version, and I have to say that I was impressed. I have only seen the first 5 or so episodes, but the rest are lined up on my Netflix account along with season two of the Wire. <BR/><BR/>I rent more TV than I watch on cable. Maybe I should save a couple bucks and just cancel it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. If you like BSG and Lost, zrbo, you should really check out the Wire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-39612060928898788042008-01-04T12:59:00.000-08:002008-01-04T12:59:00.000-08:00Never seen the Wire but I hear good things about i...Never seen the Wire but I hear good things about it.<BR/><BR/>Me and my girlfriend's favorite show for a long time has been Lost. It's had some of the greatest OMG WTF?!? moments in TV history. The opening of season 2 when we first see what's in the hatch with the Mama's and the Papa's "Make your own kind of music" playing - just brilliant. For me that music is forever linked in my brain to that part, like the "stuck in the middle with you" part from Reservoir Dogs.<BR/><BR/>BUT, then we started watching Battlestar Galactica. Wow, just wow. This has now topped our list of favorite shows. I think I was mentioning to LE that it's one of the only shows to effectively deal with 9/11, and it does it all with humans versus Cylons in a remake of early 80's sci-fi!<BR/><BR/>And then, the beginning of last season was just mind-blowing, *spoilers*, with the occupation of the humans by the Cylons, we've got the whole Iraqi conflict, but they've turned it around and made the humans the 'insurgents' and the 'suicide bombers', and what's so great is they aren't afraid to use these terms in the show! It's such a direct correlation with our current war that I'm half surprised they can get away with it on television. Absolutely brilliant.<BR/><BR/>And don't get me started on the mind-bending cliffhanger of this past season, I never thought "all along the watchtower" could be used so effectively to reveal so much about a show's story and where it's heading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
