Finally caught up on Game Of Thrones.
Blasting through Spartacus: Vengeance right now.
Saw a promo for a new season of Longmire fast approaching. Really liked that show.

It looks like AMC has been talking about a Saul Goodman spinoff. I'd watch the shit out of it.

I have seen a few episodes of Game of Thrones, but I want to read the first book before I start watching the show.
Been watching this tonight. Amazing that it didn't get renewed for a second season when it was on.

Have any of you been watching Hannibal? The first episode just came out over here and it looks very promising.
I also just started watching Dexter on Netflix and, while I've really been enjoying it so far, it has the worst use of "Previously" I've ever seen. It always starts after the opening credits and goes on for about two minutes. Who thought that was a good idea?

might be because of how obvious it was that they were broadcasted in a different order than they were made
Dexter is enjoyable up to season 5, but it's really a pretty fucking awful show through and through. My favorite part of the whole series up until now has been Lithgow in season 4.
Finally got around to watching Mad Men last week. I'm already halfway through season 3. Pretty damn awesome but falls short of the absolute greats like The Wire, Breaking Bad, and the like.
Speaking of The Wire, I'm thinking of re-watching all of Generation Kill after seeing it for the first time a couple of months ago. Fucking brilliant stuff. Can anyone attest to the comparable quality of Treme?

The problem with Dexter is that it never goes everywhere. They tell the same story over and over every season, and every time there's a chance of development, they retcon it. The first season is one of my favorite things though, and I do like the character a lot. So I plan to watch it to the end. Plus, Yvonne Strahovski joining the cast last season made it more than bearable to sit through.

they did the exact same thing with the original Star Trek, and all those superhero cartoons from the 1990s
the difference was just that with Star Trek TOS and all those superhero cartoons, each episode was self-contained enough that nobody noticed the episodes were broadcasted in a different order than production, but with Firefly, it was jarringly obvious that it had been done
if they'd broadcasted the episodes in the order that they were made, i think Firefly would have prolly gotten a second season
