Justified: The new season just started and watching the first few episodes made me realised how much I really loved the show. So I watched all 4 preceding seasons and came to the realisation that Raylan Givens is the coolest mofo on TV:

I love this pic, so much so that I made a poster of it here as I've just moved into a new apartment and needed to do some decorating.

*bump for awesomeness*

Season is too short. They should film 24 episodes of this great show.

Can't get enough of the adventures of Raylan Givens & Boyd Crowder.

Dead from alcohol poisoning before the end of one episode. No thanks.

"The word "fuck" is said 43 times in the first hour of the show.[9] It has been reported that the series had a total count of 2,980 "fucks" and an average of 1.56 utterances of "fuck" per minute of footage.[10]"
 
I'm planning on binge watching season 2 of House Of Cards this weekend. After the first episode in season 2, Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey's character) has just surpassed Walter White from Breaking Bad as my favorite TV bad guy of all time 🙂
 
I just watched a good 6 episodes of "worst cooks in America" because it was on and it made me feel better about myself
 
Maybe no Marathons since i usually can only watch for a few hours at a time, but i binge-watched Nikita to catch up just before it ended, and most recently i just watched all of House of Lies and am now caught up.

I would say 3 one-hour shows or 5 half-hour shows qualifies as a mini marathon.


I dont watch episodes constantly either. I take food or a poo break in between each one. But I can get twelve episodes knocked out like that.
 
TNG-it`s quite dated,the preachy social commentary is getting annoying.Also the rose colored glasses vision of the future stinks.Still a great show!:thumbsup:
 
The last show that I powered through was probably... Person of Interest. It helped me realize that people aren't kidding when they complain that I talk too softly. My god, after listening to Jim Caviezel whisper for about 50 episodes, I understand their pain! I sometimes turn subtitles on when I watch things just for any weird lines, but in this case, I pretty much had to turn them on.

Unfortunately, I've heard that there's only one more season left after this one! 🙁

I watched seasons 1 & 2 of Person of Interest one after the other over a period of 4 days.

My God what an awesome show! Love the fighting/violence and the multiple sub-plots. The espionage, conspiracy theories, hacking and what not all make James Bond look like a manlet.

I will be waiting for season 3 on bluray.
 
Cheers

I started a couple of months ago. I typically watch one season, then take a break for a few weeks. I'm halfway through season 4 now. Only 7 more to go.

Same. thought it wasnt bad. Reminded me why I liked smallville before it jumped the shark. Dont like all the characters but its not a bad show. Where else will you see the triads and lots of kicking and punching.

I highly recommend that you check out Human Target. I feel a bit weary saying that it's the same as Person of Interest, but they follow the same "need to protect so-and-so!" theme. Person of Interest probably has the better backstory given Human Target mostly focuses lightly on the mystery surrounding the main character, which Person of Interest sort of does.

Although, the amusing part of Human Target is that the first few episodes find increasingly smaller places in which the main character fights people! 😛

The one thing that I've always found interesting about the show is the number of actors that do their own stunts (when possible). Stephen Amell (Oliver), Caity Lotz (Sarah), and that girl from Spartacus... no, not Amanda Waller, the other one. :biggrin: One fun little factoid is that Katrina Law was considered for the role of Shado, but since Manu Bennett (Crixus from Spartacus) was already cast as Slade Wilson (Deathstroke), they didn't want it to seem like a Spartacus reunion.

I thought it was pretty good but I am not really in a rush for season 2. What's funny is I was at first not really interested about the Island portion of the show (since we all know he made it off) but as the show progressed I became more interested in what happened on the Island versus the present time plot.

I also never watch super hero tv shows. I have never seen an episode of smallville, heroes, etc..... so jumping onto Arrow was just something I randomly did.

I was hesitating starting the second season of HoC because the first one got kind of slow toward the latter half of the season. Watched episode one and just like that I'm all the way back into the story. It's pretty good so far.
