    Ah, right. No, not yet. No idea if it's even any good really, just wanted to give it a look because of Sutherland.

    It's not a bad show. Sutherland doesn't play his usual action hero role and actually comes across a bit vulnerable at times. It was a bit too lovey dovey for me but the background story is fairly decent.

    Currently watching myself:
    Blue Bloods
    Person Of Interest
    Vegas(New show with harrison ford)
    Bones(Meh, but been watching since S1)
    Homeland(Flawed but good tv none the less)
    Boardwalk Empire(Amazing)
    Fringe(If you like SciFi this is boss)
    CSI(kill time like)
    Criminal Minds(As you can see, I like crime tv)

    BREAKING F@CKING BAD - On break.

    Waiting for GoT, Walking Dead and Community to come back. All are gold.

    Also try Southland, very good slightly under the radar show. Aaaand Generation Kill(From the makers of the wire).


    Not a fan of CSI or Criminal Minds, they're two shows that could really do with having advisers on board from Crime Scene Examiners/ FBI. CSI is particularly bad for just making sh1t up to suit the story line.

    Oh I agree, they're full of BS, but the overall production is decent so I find I still mildly enjoy watching them. Criminal minds can have some gem episodes now and then too.

    The one thing that annoys me about Criminal Minds (to an extent), Bones, and Fringe, is that they pretty much just throw science out the window, and make up stuff to sound technical but actually makes no sense. The phrase "I wrote a GUI to track the killer's IP address" from Bones springs to mind here.

    Well here's my list:

    Justified
    Person of Interest
    Breaking Bad
    Game of Thrones
    Big Bang Theory
    The Walking Dead
    NCIS
    Dexter
    Homeland

    I'm planning on starting The Wire again. It's been a few years since i watched it.

    Edit: I forgot Stargate, I throw on a few episodes of it every now and then.

    I haven't watched CSI in years but it used to be desperate for that type of carry on. What always got to me was that in reality the CSI guys and the BAU guys would never be directly involved in the actual investigations. They'd just collect evidence and examine it or put together a profile and pass it on to the investigation team, but i guess that would make a boring show!!

    Product placement in bones is what gets to me, but yeah, everything Angela does is just a joke, she's only there cause she's fit. Fringe though, its total suspension of disbelief, if they tried to make it realistic, it'd just be boring.

    Some shows that I'm going to be getting into as soon as I'm settled in my new place:

    Person of Interest, Once Upon a Time, Homeland, Camelot, Touch, Saving Hope, Sons of Anarchy.
    This Camelot?, sweet jebus, don't go near that, awful turd.

    Start with Sons Of Anarchy, tis brill. Homeland is alright, doesn't deserve the hype it gets at all, season 2 looks to be better.

    Modern Family is funny. Better than Big Bang now.

    What's the older movie/show that Richard Dean Anderson is in there? Doesn't look like MacGyver.

    Also, lolwin.

    Edit: FETARD, thanks, will do so. Heard good things about it from a couple of people though (Camelot).

    Nooo! It's not what it's suppose to be at all, Merlin character is a joke...aah it's a mess, cancelled aswell on a sort of cliffhanger.

    I'll tell ya
    To get an heir to the Thrown that she can control, Arthurs sister drinks some blood potion to shape shift into this fit bird that Arthur likes so that he'll do her (his sister).
    :eek:

    Thats the jist of the ending^^^, awful.

    Edit:
    And he does!

    Would you not just get an access point so you can extend the signal better to poor parts of your home?

    Got my €300 lenovo x131e

    Not bad. Incredibly slow out of the box. 100 processes running at startup. Not sure if I can be bothered to reinstall Windows and get it all set up correctly when I plan to buy a 128 GB Samsung 830 to put in it anyway. Hopefully that coincides with the release of Steam for Linux so I can ditch Windows once and for all.

    Archer is top notch all right, I started watching after Breaking Bad finished until next year after 8 bloody episodes.:(


    Google 'Just the tip, Archer' and you'll get a good idea of the sense of humor :D.
