First 14 minutes of A Game of Thrones (YouTube link's up now, but may not be for long):

Anyone else watching The Borgias? I'm enjoying it so far.

I've been watching Rescue Me. It's not great, but it's pretty entertaining. Oh and the new AMC series The Killing is pretty good so far.

I started watching Freaks and Geeks and it's been quite underwhelming. For a show with such a cult following I was expecting something better but this show is just watchable.

I thought it was unfair a show like Deadwood got canceled and for what? The show was interesting i thought.

It's a fucking tragedy. They were supposed to make two tv movies to finish it off after the series got canned but it never happened. |

Started watching Sons of Anarchy since it's become available on Netflix now. I burned through the first season fairly quick and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm about half way through the second season and it's getting a little over the top at times - especially with the amount of shit the cops are "overlooking" - but otherwise it's still entertaining.

Ever notice how people who are on the phone in tv-shows and movies never say good bye before hanging up?

Apparently there's another forthcoming series about the Borgia family, titled Borgia. I don't know what the deal is with two series with the same concept but it's of interest me as it stars John Doman (the guy who played William Rawls in The Wire) as Rodrigo Borgia.
I haven't watched The Borgias yet. I have a horrible download cap on this connection (25GB) so I suppose I'll have to wait for the DVD.

You too eh? Do you share my burning hatred for the overblown, annoying, poorly-written antics of Sheldon Cooper?

It's dire times around here in tv land. Game of Thrones and The Killing are finished. I've been watching Rescue Me just because we don't have anything else to watch, and it's now at the point where I'd bludgeon Denis Leary to death with a knotted rope if I saw him in the street, such is the quality of writing in the last three seasons. I'm patiently waiting for more Breaking Bad and Larry. True Blood starts again tomorrow which is something.
I'm considering watching Deadwood or The Sopranos again from the beginning because I can't find anything good that I haven't seen.

Dying for Supernatural & HIMYM to come back on. Catching up on 8 seasons of NCIS which is proving to be a worthwhile replacement.

Did you ever watch Rome?
I'm currently rewatching The Sopranos. I didn't love it the first time I saw it, but I don't think I've ever wanted to rewatch a series so soon after finishing it the first time, which I suppose is a testament to how goddamn good it is. I'm definitely liking it more on rewatch, would probably rank it as my third favorite show after Breaking Bad and The Wire.
I still have problems with their approach towards storytelling though I guess there's nothing inherently wrong with it. I think I'm just too infatuated with the Breaking Bad-kind of storytelling where no problem ever goes away neatly and every single thing that happens has absurd consequences and no one has any control over anything. (Based on the interviews I've read, not even the showrunner does.)
I'm also halfway through the first season of Mad Men, and I don't really get it. I guess it's an interesting deconstruction of the 'good old days' but I just feel like there's something I'm missing, something possibly enormous. Feeling more left out in the cold on this one than I ever did with The Sopranos.
