In the midst of running a Bablyon 5 marathon to entertain the kids during summer break....always enjoyed the series, for its time, head and shoulders above the other drivel on the boob tube!

Just curious, was anyone watching the V remake?

Watched the first half dozen episodes and quit...just didn't do it for me.

Pretty much the same here...I'd kinda lost interest by half way through the first series....watched a couple of episodes from the second series (first, last, and one other)...thought the ending was....interesting...but on the whole not overly impressed.

I'm watching season 1 of HBO's The Wire right now. It's as good as the critics say it is- deep, smart, and very intense. It's well worth the time. Might be hard for non-Americans to keep up with all of the street slang, though. I have to listen extra carefully to catch all of it. Still and all, it's a great show.
Excellent series and, from what I've seen working in urban law enforcement, The Wire is distressingly enough the most realistic police show I've ever seen.

The same general group of people did the HBO miniseries adaptation for Generation Kill, which is another really good one.

I do miss Space above and beyond, It's hard to get in the UK now.

Invasion: Earth was a good, British TV series, worth a punt.

I'm currently watching series 1 of The Wire. I wanted something the wife and i could both watch, well, this isnt it. I'm loving it though! Just hard finding time to watch it on my own.

We are both watching Burn Notice. A bit soft or gimmicky? Hmm, maybe. Lighthearted enough for Wifey to watch. I like the way he explains plans, people, cunning tricks and why they work. Easy entertainment for now.

I was expecting Generation Kill to be 10/10. In the end i gave it an 8/10. I need to re-watch it.

OH! Almost forgot! Just finished reading the first 8 chapters (48 issues) of Walking Dead (graphic novel, or comic, your call). Outstanding! Zombie goodness is good, but the best part is how people are adapting to the new world where old laws and ways of thinking no longer apply. Survival at its best. Very T2K relevant. Please, no spoilers ... cant wait for issues 49-96 to come out in the one big book sometime in the next year. Yes its a comic, but mate, awesome read.

I recently bought a copy from the very first print run of book one. Excellent.

Babylon 5 did the opposite of BSG by starting weak and closing strong... the last couple of seasons were the best.
