Okay I am a bit late to the game, but I have started watching doctor who(I have watched the odd episode in the past). It is so much better watching them in order. I am up to the second series now. I really like Chris Eccelston as the doctor, and wish he got more episodes.

I hear you, ILF. ^ I just started watching Doctor Who a few months ago; I think I would like to start from Chris Eccelston, too, as he seems like a good doctor, and I'd feel more legit watching it in order of seasons. I have watched around in all episodes, and, while I can't decide on who my favorite Doctor is at this point, I have to say that I think either Rory/Amy or Donna win for Favourite Companions.

I got around to watching Once Upon A Time on Netflix. I have watched uptil Season One, and I'm anticipating progressing, as the show has quite a knack on ending at the juiciest moments.
I am enjoying the show, and I went back and read some of the thoughts on it on here. I am not a fan of every single episode, but the basic story and most of the characters is strong enough to keep me satisfied and curious. The dynamics between the characters is great. I liked Emma right away, which helped me warm up to the show, of course. I appreciate that the heroes and heroines fight side by side, acknowledging each other as comrades. If there's something that the show got right, I believe it would definitely be a good portrayal of real men and real women, both who have the capacity to be fierce warriors or cowards. I enjoyed the show for that. The cast is excellent. My favorite character at this point is either Archie Hopper/Jiminy or Pinocchio. Hansel and Gretel and their Storybrooke story was probably my favourite episode, tying with Jiminy's backstory.

Netflix has really been great for me. I've gotten to watch a lot of shows that I wasn't able to or hadn't known about.

One of those shows was The Glades. I eagerly awaited more episodes to be posted and was so happy when they finally were. I just finished watching them all and now I'm really distressed. Big cliffhanger and I find out the show has been cancelled??

Once Upon A Time is a good show but the episodes really are hit or miss, in terms of both quality and interest.

I recently began rewatching LOST for the first time in 4 years. I'm almost halfway through Season 1. Despite not having seen it for so long, I've read numerous books about the series and countless articles. That said, it's surprising how I've never picked up on some of the little details until now. LOST really is one of those series that you can come back to time and again and discover new things. So good!

Farewell, Rik Mayall.

Does anyone else remember that scene in The Young Ones where Vyvyan ends up in Narnia? I think the BBC have put it up on You Tube.

I have watched a few scattered episodes of black adder and the young ones(my dad is a fan of both shows) but I don't remember that one sorry.

Anyway RIP to Rik Mayall, he was a great comedian.

Is anyone else going to be watching the premiere for season three of Legend of Korra this week? I'll be tuning in. I liked the first season a lot, although I felt that the ending was too quick and tied up far too neatly. (Can't really blame the show creators for that, I suppose; they didn't know that they would be renewed for three more seasons.) Season two was kind of a mixed bag for me. I've got higher hopes for the next two seasons, though; they've had time to plan and I've heard that they're supposed to have more of a running plot, so to speak. The animation looks great, too.

I didn’t know my Sherlock Holmes thread would get so little response. I’m sure you can discuss TV adaptations – but in my thread, not here!

Rose, I loved Avatar: The Legend of Aang and I've been enjoying The Legend of Korra. I enjoyed the first season more than the second, but the latter was still very good (just quite different). I have high hopes for season 3 - it looks fantastic! That said, I'll probably wait until every episode of this book is out and then watch it, that's what I did for the other books. But yes, I'm excited!

Ha I didn't think I would be the only one to reply to that thread.

Anyway I am up to series 4 of doctor who. I must say they spend a lot of time running from the bad guys. Also Donna isn't as fashionably conscious as the others. I mean jeans and runners/joggers?....... ha I guess she is prepared for the running.

Rose and Warrior, I also enjoyed both Aang and Korra (though the latter not as much, partly because the original show raised the bar pretty high). I also liked season 1 of Korra better than 2 despite its abrupt ending (as Rose mentions, they didn't know they were going to get more episodes).

Korra season 2 was a mixed bag for me, some good parts but some disappointments. The Avatar origin story and Korra in the spirit world didn't do a lot for me. Having said that, the season 3 trailer looks good. Lots of bending action and good animation. Looking forward to that.

Warrior, I see your mention of 24: Live Another Day in your signature. I've been watching this too and feel it's caught the spirit and tension of the original series. Lots of violence and gun fights, but then it is Jack Bauer we're talking about.

I was wondering where the Sherlock discussion was happening... I love Seasons 1 and 2, but cannot enjoy any of the episodes in Season 3. I feel like the show changed so dramatically.

I was similarly disappointed by the Legend of Korra compared to Avatar. I will still likely watch Season 3 (Changes), but with even less hopes than I watched Season 2 with.
What I do find interesting is that the villain in the trailer looks just like Princess Azula... I wonder if she is going to be related. We know that Zuko had a son, perhaps he had a daughter and she becomes evil?

Those are about the only shows I watch with any regularity. I sometimes watch Flashpoint on Netflix. Does anyone else enjoy that show?

That is pretty much my exact attitude. Avatar is my favorite TV show of all time, but Korra is on probation with me--if I don't like the first few episodes of this season, I might give up. (I was not happy with season 2, and if it weren't Avatar related, I probably would've given up.)

Oooh, interesting theory. I've only watched the trailer once--since it's coming out this week, I mind as well not spoil too much for myself. I didn't notice her, but... yeah, who know's what's happened to the Fire Nation royal family in the past 70 years? Or, given that (warning--spoiler for the comics!) Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing how season 3 might tie in to the original show.

My mom and I watched the show on Netflix. I really, really enjoyed it--probably either #2 or #3 on my Top 10 TV shows. Almost every episode was brilliantly paced, making you feel both the intensity of "can they save everyone?" and the emotional impact. I liked how it made me sympathize with/understand the subject of the week, without taking away from the fact that they're still threatening/hurting other people. I also really liked pretty much all of the characters for one reason or another--can't decide if Greg or Ed is my favorite.

Actually, Zuko's daughter is the currently reigning Fire Lord. General Iroh II is (presumably) her son. There's been no confirmation of other children for Zuko from the show's writers.

I generally love watching shows with a shorter episode count per season, as it tends to cut out the fluff, but Korra has struggled with keeping enough development in its episodes. I think that, for the most part, Book 2 started remedying this, and I'm hoping that Book 3 will continue the upward trend.

I am very much looking forward to the Legend of Korra Book 3 premiere tomorrow.

I'm a Korra defender, but I do acknowledge that the original show was definitely better than the current one. Korra has better animation, fascinating themes and ideas, and top-notch world-building. Unfortunately, the plot is not always that well thought out - especially compared with the elegant simple-to-epic plot of the previous series - and I find myself feeling indifferent towards most of the characters. I like Korra, but Mako, Bolin, and Asami ehh... Then there's the teen romance thing. Thank goodness there won't be any more of that this season. So basically, I consider myself a fan of the new series and manage to thoroughly enjoy it for what it is, but I recognize that it has flaws.
