    Let's try a quote guessing game. Say what show it's from and then post your own, etc. Easy one to start off

    Can't believe no one has mentioned Breaking Bad yet!

    Also, has anyone been watching Wallander? I'd say it's up there with Luther in terms of quality. Not so action packed, but it's brilliant TV.

    I doubt any of you watch it but here's the trailer for the new Spartacus season. Didn't realise it would be the last season. I'm guessing Spartacus will die at the end.

    It'd be pretty weird if he didn't.



    Though no one really knows if he died or not, I suppose he coulda escaped the battle and gone off to live in secrecy but that doesn't really seem like the best of endings for a hero. >_>

    Funnily enough just started watching that myself. Saw the two miniseries and 10 episodes of season one up to now. Quite enjoying it. The first ep of season one was draining watching it which was brilliant.

    She's a terrible actress but she slightly improves as it goes on, her character does flesh out a bit as well as a personality.

    I'm all over Wallander, the last episode was really good. I'm loving the 1.5hr shows, that extra half hour just makes the story so much better, they can add so much more detail, it doesn't feel rushed at all.

    Cheers for the recommendation. I heard a while back that Sarah Connor Chronicles were good, I'll try to pick up the first season on the cheap!

    And I really liked Starbuck's character in the 2004 BSG. Katee Sachoff is one of the few actresses on TV that can mix strength and vulnerability effortlessly. I was admittedly quite 'meh' towards her to start out with. Her character definitely fleshes out by the end of season 2. Plus, she's nowhere near as annoying as Kat, or Cally, who seem to get quite a lot of airtime in seasons 3 and 4.

    James Callis is still my favourite actor in the show. Can't beat a bit of Baltarstar Galactica.
