My favs are: scrubs, big bang theory, house, (you already said) prison break, NCIS, CSI (there all the same), smallville, sons of anarchy, coming of age, blackadder, red dwarf, misfits and probably more I can't think at the moment.dj Facchiano said:I just finished watching season 5 of Dexter and now have nothing to watchsooooooooo I was hoping you fine gentlemen from the lands of escapistmagazine.com would be able to share your T.V wisdom with me.

Downton Abbey - as someone who loves Battlestar Galatica I loved this British drama set in the manor house in the 1920s. It's well written, well acted and an all round good egg. Sure, it's not what you're used to but take a look at it.dj Facchiano said:I just finished watching season 5 of Dexter and now have nothing to watchsooooooooo I was hoping you fine gentlemen from the lands of escapistmagazine.com would be able to share your T.V wisdom with me.

Yes, you are correct sir in assuming SGU was indeed my first venture into the Stargate Universe. Well... that's not entirely true. I did see the movie some umpteen years ago, but never watched a single episode of the television series. By the time I got around to wanting to watch it, it was so already established that I thought it may be hard to jump in midway through. So when I saw a brand new Stargate series being created I jumped at the chance to start from the beginning. I was hooked, although as my friends who liked the original would say it was terrible, I having no prior knowledge of the show found it quite enjoyable.Sonic Doctor said:Sorry, I'm going to sound harsh here, because television and recommending shows is serious business for me.warprincenataku said:Doctor Who
Walking Dead
Stargate Universe
These are the only shows I watch.
You have an interesting list
Doctor Who: Made of diamonds and golden awesome.
Walking Dead: Golden.
Stargate Universe: Ring made out of plastic found in a dirty gutter.
I'm curious, have you watched Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis?
And, why do you like Stargate Universe?
The reason I ask is if you had watched Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, you would have recommended Stargate SG-1, then Atlantis.
Also, all the Stargate fans I know and have talked to, despise Stargate Universe.
The only reason I continued watching it is because I wanted to see how long it took for the show to actually get to something remotely interesting or relatively related to anything Stargate.
Answer: It has taken one and a half season, and the related bit is only a half-hearted attempt.
It shouldn't be called Stargate Universe, it should be called Stargate Galactica: The Soap Opera. Because the horrible filming style from Battlestar is being used. On top of that are so many romantic relationships that are crisscrossed and messed up, it is as bad as a soap opera.
It is so bad that the things that the show is actually about, the stargate, the ship, and who created the universe, are delegated to an after thought or a less focused side story.
If they don't get their act together with this last half of season two, I will be hoping and praying that the show gets canceled. Because if they can't properly make a third show that holds the awesome title of Stargate, then it deserves to be canceled, and let Stargate live on with the epicness that came before this crap.
Rant over. I need to make a review thread for Stargate Universe, so I can go more into depth about how bad it is.
