Not sure exactly where to put this but this is awesome.

You would think a movie with a few hints of incest would be right up Ben's alley.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out the name of a TV show. Before I start, this is a huge longshot. No one I have ever spoken to has even heard of this show. I saw it first (and last) when I was staying in Nigeria several years ago.

So the show stars a priest, I believe Catholic. This priest's main job is kicking ass, and he does so using lots and lots of karate. Also, he can see the future. I think he only sees danger, but I don't remember clearly.

In one episode, the priest has to fight this vampire, but it's not a real vampire. It's just a dude who likes drinking blood, so he hooks his victims up into this chair and drains it from them. Obviously, karate priest kills him (I don't know if he kills him, I'm just assuming). There is also this chick who can see the future as well, but she mainly uses her power to try and get on karate priest's dick, but karate priest is celibate.

Anyway, if someone can give me the name of this show... I don't even know. You'd be amazing?

Monsignor Martinez?

One episode away from finishing Breaking Bad season two. Part of me hates that every woman in a leading role on the show is written like a shrill harpy, but then the rest of me acknowledges that every single character on this show is a terrible person except for Walter Jr., and maybe Hank is semi-borderline.

Show is wonderful, though. I want to throttle both Walter and Jesse but at this point that has to be deliberate, and the visuals Breaking Bad is putting forth are a lot more inventive than anything else on TV aside from maybe Game of Thrones, whilst the acting is better than probably any drama that isn't Mad Men.

EDIT: Season two done. Brilliant ending. I'm going to detox from Breaking Bad for a week or two by watching sillier stuff (Harvey Birdman, '60s Doctor Who, anime) before diving into season 3.

EDIT II: Also apparently season seven of Scrubs is coming up on my queue! I'll be interested to see if I still enjoy it at all, watched season six back in like... 2008ish?

I've just started season 3 of BB. Season 2 finale was brilliant, agreed. 3 starts brilliantly, and I'm excited about seeing how it's all gonna unfold. The show has been amazing - dark, brooding, emotive. Loved it.

You won't. Season seven is pretty much the worst season of my favourite shows ever. It has very few highlights and is basically just an entire season dedicated to making you unintentionally hate everyone who isn't Cox, Kelso or The Janitor.

Season eight gets back to some reasonable level of form, but seven is terrible TV.

Season 2 of Breaking Bad ends with

Walt letting Jane die and Jane's dad accidentally causing a mid-air collision, right?

You guys will poop bricks at the finale for season 3.

I'm so excited for everything coming back that I totally forgot there's only two more episodes of Futurama left - but then again, I am super pumped for the finale with its three different animation styles, etc.

Also - I had somehow tricked myself into thinking that IT Crowd would be back in the fall as well, but looking it up I have to wait until next April.. damn. Stupid six episode a season shows.

Well, by this point I've been hating JD and especially Elliott for years so at least not much is going to change on that front!

We can exclusively reveal that Danny Pudi, 'Community's' Abed, will have a cameo role in the fifth episode of the upcoming season of 'Chuck.' The details of his role are still under wraps, but really, what more do you need to know? Pudi is a very funny man and 'Chuck' will no doubt pull out all the stops to make sure his time in the spy world will be, in a word, awesome.

On the plus side, it's the Writer's Strike season so it's only half the length of a normal season!

I'd love it if they just went the same route as Cougar Town.

Just finished up season 3 of Fringe.

So Walter and Peter are the "First People" that sent the doomsday device back in time, and Peter merges the two worlds at Liberty Island so that Walternate, Walter, Olivia & Fauxlivia can all work together to try and save both worlds -- but then disappears?! And then you have the Observers standing outside the Statue of Liberty, discussing the fact that Peter now no longer exists because he fulfilled his purpose, which was apparently to bring the two worlds together.

This show makes my head hurt.
