I do not get that many tv series from west here even with satellite tv. Ones I do get I think are older than 1 year. However, my favorite series here are CSI:NY, Seinfeld, King of the Hill and Without a Trace.

Castle - Nathan Fillion is an absolute joy to watch!

Gotta love Castle's "Writer" bulletproof vest

YouTube - Castle: "Space Cowboy" (Firefly/Serenity)

Castle - Nathan Fillion is an absolute joy to watch!

But We all know he should only be the characters from Buffy or Firefly!

But We all know he should only be the characters from Buffy or Firefly!

I understand the sentiment :flowers: But trust me, he is PERFECT as Rick Castle, the guy is pure awesomeness! And yes, I do have a bit of a crush on him

Beer Good, you didn't like the BSG finale?

 

[beer good]

And yes, I do have a bit of a crush on him

But of course. After all, the hammer is his... well, y'know. :whistling:

Beer Good, you didn't like the BSG finale?

Nope. It sucked. Here's an article that echoes most of my opinions of it.

Did Battlestar Galactica Have The Worst Ending In Science Fiction History? - Battlestar Galactica - io9

 

[sparkchaser]

Interesting article.

Spoiler

I suppose I was willing to accept the premise that there is a "God"

and while not 100% satisfied with the ending, I thought it was acceptable.

I wonder what the best end to a ScFi series was. Maybe Firefly.

Spoiler

That there is a "God" within BSG doesn't bother me. That everything everyone did was fated all along and that "God" suddenly stepped in and solved everything at the last second did, however. Along with the profoundly stupid decision to commit mass suicide by resolving to live as cavemen because technology is eeeeevil. And the ridiculous moral at the end. And... I won't rant at length.

I liked the ending to Farscape. But of course, Farscape had muppets so they are inherently awesome.

 

[sparkchaser]

Damn. You're right. Farscape's ending was pretty good, even if a bit rushed.

I wish I could say The X Files :sad:

I agree 100%.

Best show last year was The Mentalist, but my favorite guilty pleasures were 10 Things I Hate About You and Eastwick.

 

[chiangmaifalcon]

Starting next week I will be able to see 7th season of 24 which was my favorite show. All the English language shows I get here are old, but I also like the Mentalist. It reminds me of 2 of my all time favorite shows which were Columbo and Monk.
