I've just watched this, It seems like the odd genius working with law enforcement theme is taking off a bit now.

Numb3rs, Eleventh hour, and now Castle.

Can't say it's a bad thing, as I'm enjoying them all, but it's a thing.

S'not really theft, you're not depriving anyone of anything

He's depriving the studio of a customer who'd blindly buy an over-priced boxed set of the entire series because he's a filthy pirate.

Yar har fiddle dee dee..

As the dvds aren't available, that's unpossible.

They might not be available yet but you know they'll appear. Even if the series is cancelled.

And they'd still charge you full price for a short season...

See, Mordeth know what I'm talking about. Those 'kind souls' are being deprived of their monies. The bastards.

Fringe is another one of them. Although, the odd genius is actually part of the original cause for all the problems. Just has a little amnesia/mentalblockage and doesn't quite remember.

I loved Numb3rs for the first 2years...i just can't watch it anymore. It changed too much from the original formula. I liked the crime, the math, the philosophy then the arrest. It was quite simple then. I don't even know how to describe it now.

I couldn't get into fringe, no idea why.

Numb3rs has changed a lot, but I still enjoy it, it's just different to how it started.

There's something about Fringe I like...maybe its the blonde

Its just getting too far-fetched now...more than when it first started. So much so, that they won't be able to keep anything realistic at all or believable. I'm suprised its lasted this long.

I do like Eleventh Hour. Using real life scientific issues to show how dangerous things are. Its kinda like Numb3rs.....but science....therefore....4ormulas!

Still liking LIFE...great dialogue and insight, good stories and crime investigation...and a hot chick.

New series starting Sunday: KINGS

The commercials are all blahblahblah'ing it with praise from all the critics...kinda makes me not want to watch it...but, Sunday is the 2hour debut...i'm sure I'll have enuff from that to make a decision to ever watch it again...

From executive producer Michael Green (NBC’s "Heroes") comes a riveting new drama about a modern day monarchy. "Kings" is a contemporary re-telling of the timeless tale of David and Goliath. This series is an epic story of greed and power, war and romance, forbidden loves and secret alliances -- and a young hero who rises to power in a modern-day kingdom.

King Silas Benjamin (Ian McShane, "Deadwood") is the well-entrenched king of Gilboa, whose flag bears a divine butterfly symbol. Gilboa has its capital in Shiloh, a clean new city that is unspoiled by time or litter. Silas must deal with the tensions rising between Gilboa and neighboring nation Gath. When several prisoners of war are taken, a young soldier, David Shepherd (Chris Egan, "Eragon"), defies orders and crosses enemy lines to save them. Unknown to David, the soldier he saves is Jack Benjamin (Sebastian Stan, "The Covenant"), the son of the king. From that day forth, David’s life will never be the same.

Susanna Thompson ("Once & Again") plays Queen Rose Benjamin, a distant, yet supportive wife. Allison Miller ("Lucy’s Piano") stars as King Silas’ beautiful, intelligent and outspoken daughter, Michelle. General Linus Abner (Wes Studi, "Comanche Moon," "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"), Reverend Ephram Samuels (Eamonn Walker, "Oz") and William Cross, Silas’ brother-in-law (Dylan Baker, "Spiderman 2"), try to influence King Silas.

From Universal Media Studios, "Kings" is executive-produced by Green, Erwin Stoff ("I Am Legend") and Francis Lawrence ("I Am Legend"), who also directed the pilot.

McShane was awesome in Deadwood, so it will be interesting to see him in something else.

It's only the blond that's worth liking about that series.

2nd ep =

Fun, complicated and serious. I hope it lasts for a season or two...

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » March 18th, 2009, 2:03

rather enjoying it, but I'm not quite sure if it's different enough to last.

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle

Very funny, mostly. There was a weak bit in the middle, but otherwise excellent. Don't watch that sketch show with that fat one and the other one from Gavin & Stacey. It's shit (I'm lead to believe), watch this instead. It's on Mondays at 22:00 and here's the first episode:
