I do hope you get to see Once Upon a Time soon, Warrior. I've enjoyed it. (And be sure to watch for the writers' nods to LOST, such as Apollo candy bars).

A while back you commented on the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood: Children of Earth:

...It was a tight sci-fi/drama/horror story, very well-written and overall, incredibly well-acted....Suffice to say the series plays on the fears of adults for the well-being of their children....Children of Earth doesn't have much inappropriate content (there's a bit of violence and language but that's it) but the themes are incredibly dark and disturbing. I was speechless, emotionally-drained and in complete shock at the end. I know this word is overused but it's completely appropriate here - it was 'heart-wrenching'.

I watched the entire 5-part series pretty much all in one sitting yesterday (finishing today) and echo your remarks. Very dark and disturbing but well done; I had to see it through to the end. (The child-protection theme echoed with me even more than it might have otherwise, as my latest NaNo story had it as one of its main themes. [/random])

narnian1- Yes, the most recent one was about Reba. I think I missed the first few minutes or so of it. But it really was an interesting one. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, if you ever get the chance to see it.

I'm sorry I haven't responded to this yet. I haven't forgotten. I found it on Hulu but haven't had the chance to watch it yet. I hope to watch it this weekend, after which I will post my thoughts.

Stargazer, I'm glad you enjoyed the Torchwood mini-series. I thought it would be your cup of tea.

I have officially seen every single episode of "Boy Meets World" now I love that show!!

and "Melissa And Joey" will be starting up season two on May 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!!!!!!!

*pokes head into the thread*

So, is anyone else in here a fan of Person of Interest? My family discovered it recently and we like it quite a lot.* I find the plot and characters very intriguing, and I'm very eager to see how the first season ends up. Last week's episode was excellent, I thought; I think that

*My sister would probably tell you this is the understatement of the year. It's only the middle of March though, so there's plenty of time to come up with another major understatement before next year.

Glad to hear it's been renewed, flam!

Person of Interest got my attention from the start because of Michael Emerson's starring role (he was excellent as Benjamin Linus in LOST); I was curious to see him as a good guy. So I've seen most of the episodes. I agree about your spoilered comment.

I've seen quite a number of episodes but I find it lacking. There needs to be more character development and mystery. Also, I think it would benefit from more of a serial format.

I caught up on Once Upon a Time. I didn't love every single episode - of course, who ever does - but i'm definitely interested to see where they're going to take it. Right now, i'm wondering how many seasons the creators have in mind. I mean, i liked it, but i don't think i want to see the story stretched out for more than, say, five seasons.

Couple character observations -

Mr. Gold -

I'm disappointed with David/

Sheriff Graham -

Regina -

One last thing, for those who have seen the last episode -

Good observations, Arwenel. I too hope it lasts only as long as it remains fresh - though there's still plenty of material to draw on.

About the last episode:

Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, take note: the US/North American premiere of its sequel The Legend of Korra will air at 11 am EDT on Saturday April 14. More details, and additional new trailers, are here.

I watched the recent episode "Dreamy" from Once Upon a Time and caught some of the writers' fun with names and images: the fairy's name is Nova, and her Storybrooke equivalent is Astrid - both stellar names.

A diagram of the solar system is prominently displayed in the candle-selling headquarters room, as are artistic renderings of Leo, Cancer, and Gemini. They must have been studying astronomy that week.

And how many candles did they sell the previous year? 42. Knowing these writers, that's not a random number (it was one of the LOST Numbers, and in turn was included there as a salute to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide series.

I just wanted to post this for anyone who cared to know how and why I'm so into 90's TV shows - it's a video of me explaining such things

Anyone else excited that Maverick (1957-1962) is finally coming to DVD in May? Finally another TV series for us to collect.

There has been a slew of tidbits released about upcoming Person of Interest episodes over the past couple days; I'm wondering if they're trying to make up for the two week hiatus. Admittedly, it did help perk me up a bit yesterday. Here's one that I found particularly interesting/exciting: according to this, Dagmara Dominczyk will be guest starring in an upcoming episode. Fans of Jim Caviezel may recognize her as Mercedes to his Edmond Dantes. Count of Monte Cristo reunion, anyone? That's at least the second time they've (not so) subtly referenced Caviezel's role in that movie, and only one of many references to his and Emerson's past roles. Yay for not-so-subtle references!

What does everyone think of the Doctor Who Season 7 trailer? It looks a bit odd to me. I can see what Moffat meant when he called the episodes "movie episodes". The feel I get from the trailer is definitely one more like I'd get from a movie than from a TV show.

Link for those who haven't seen it yet.

I have officially seen every single episode of "Boy Meets World" now I love that show!!

Guess this answers my question lol...I own all the BMW seasons now!!!

I watch it on ABC Family too (even though it comes on at 6:00 a.m...*sigh*)

wow - I'm kinda in a daze - I actually read this ENTIRE thread!

Someone asked if anyone had seen Road to Avonlea - I have, it's one of my favorite series and I bought the series as a Christmas present to myself this past Christmas.

I also saw that we have some Trek fans - I'll be visiting that thread shortly.

Arrested Development is also a favorite of mine. I'm hoping that the movie actually materializes soon. But you've got to love a series that comes up with a character name like Bob Loblaw!

I've been watching a lot of older series. Monk, Remington Steele, Get Smart, Road to Avonlea, Little House on the Prairie, The Andy Griffith Show, JAG, and MacGyver. I'm not all that impressed with many of the current shows - the 2 exceptions are NCIS and The Middle.

Favorite cartoon of all time?? Underdog (a superhero speaks in rhyme all the time with the voice of Wally Cox - I love it!) I even know all the words to both verses of the theme song.
