I will go and watch the first 2 seasons of Hell on Wheels the coming days/weeks. Anyone here watched this?

[MalaCloudy Black]

I've seen S1, but not 2. I felt like 1 was slow during the first 3 or 4 episodes, but near the back end of the season it started to pick up steam.

Hurley in Californication is amazing.

Nicely played.

Yes, I've seen both seasons. Season 2 is better than Season 1 by far.

Watching The Next Generation season 2 (now in HD, as Syfy keeps reminding me), and I forgot how much I dislike Wesley-centric episodes. He's a good character for people to bounce off of, but stories with him as the main character just drag. I also forgot how much I love Data, and the stories surrounding him. There's a sudden influx of Data-centric episodes in season 2, where it seems like the writers suddenly realised how much potential he had as a character, and they were totally on the money.

Also, random Whoopi Goldberg addition is a plus.

Fuck the person who cancelled Ben & Kate. This show is marvelous

[GoGo Yubari]

I've yet to watch the last episode that aired on TV because I don't want it to be over

[Berober]

I don't know if anyone still watches Castle, but I decided to watch last nights part one on a whim and god damn was it awesome...

The comments section of where I watched the episode told me Alexis died in this ep, which I attributed to just a guy trolling the viewers, but damn it the longer the episode went the more I started to think he was being truthful. Especially when they broke out. Don't kill Alexis people!

Has anyone caught Zero Hour yet? Just watching the pilot and it has a 'Da Vinci Code meets Lost' kind of vibe.

I don't know whether thats a good thing or a bad thing.

[LL!]

According to ratings it's a bad thing and is on its way out.

[Your Mom]

I thought it was ok. So you're saying I shouldn't get too attached?

[LL!]

Yes.

I don't find Wesley annoying at all, but I agree that the episodes that focus on him are kind of weak.

Season 2 does have "A Measure of a Man", which is one of the best Star Trek episodes ever.

[St. Dubb]

I've heard nothing but bad, horrible, terrible things about Zero Hour as well...like it was said, don't get attached...

I like Wesley's character, but I think his episodes suffer from my hatred of generic teen angst. This is a show about the wonders of the universe, where the guy is young ensign on a starship full of possibilities, and they choose to focus on his insatiabal teenage libido instead of his often mentioned, but never shown (in his own episodes), potential.

[Monkey D. Lars]

I've now seen 2 episodes of Hell on Wheels. I like it so far, especially mr. Sweden. Wondering where they will go with this character.

[Ant]

Anyone catch Cult? I did and i wasn't terribly impressed.

Someone needs to make a show surrounding the early years of T-Bagg. The world needs more Robert Knepper.

Did you see the episode of the sadly cancelled Breakout Kings where he showed up as T-Bagg?

[Ant]

Yeah i did and it was awesome. That gave me the need for a T-Bagg series as it made me realise what a great actor Robert is and a great character T-Bagg is.
