Sanctuary

Who are you people that are watching this?

Me! I started watching because of Amanda Tapping and kept watching because it's kind of crazy and kind of awesome.

Homeland

Okay, so who watched this and/or liked it? Dying to know if this show is something that actually warrants a serialized format.

The pilot was interesting enough as a setup for things to come, though I didn't find it very satisfying as an episode on its own. As for the longer term, I do wonder how they're going to make this concept work for an entire (12 episode) season, let alone multiple seasons.

Breaking Bad

Best damned thing on TV these days. Nuff said.

Dexter

I'll keep watching, but deep down I wish the show had been cancelled before it turned stale.

Pan Am

I'll keep giving it a shot because it's visually and audibly pleasing. But the story, man...

Homeland is fairly great. Damian Lewis is always a pleasure to watch, and Claire Danes is interesting enough. I'm both amazed and bummed out that Movie Central is showing Dexter season 6 at its original times; amazed because I don't have Showtime and I can just PVR it now, bummed out that it's not Homeland because I would much rather have that than Dexter.

Between Keeping up with Kardashians and Betrayed at 17, I kinda want to see Screened institute some sort of "SHITTIEST MOVIE ON THE LIST" Award for all these W2W features:) If it existed here, that would be a tough one to call.

@shenstra:Man I'm starting to think that everyone watches Sanctuary because of Tapping and Stargate and how weird it can be

Including me, love SG-1

After watching an episode of Boardwalk Empire, everything else just fades in comparison.

Damn, I don't think I'm going to be able to catch up before the Breaking Bad finale tomorrow. But, I made it through three seasons in three days!

...actually, that's kind of embarrassing.

@Venatio: Haha, totally wasn't paying attention last week to comment on this. I'll make a bitchy post on tomorrow's post.

@vicsrealms: @shenstra: Like you guys, I started watching because of AT. I start with the webisodes, and actually met Amanda, Robin, and Damian a couple months before it premiered on Syfy. Awesome, awesome people.

I thought the first season was amazing (apart from them getting rid of Emilie, but it was a good thing for her that it happened considering her health problems). Although I have continued to very much enjoy the characters (apart from Agam's character) and all of the one off stories, I haven't really liked the seasonal arc stuff. Not because of quality, but S2 and S3 just didn't jive with me.

But after that season 4 premiere last week, I'M FUCKING PUMPED FOR THIS SEASON!
