House of Cards S1 ~ 2/5

There was nothing particularly wrong with this one, but it just wasn't strong enough to ever really pull me in and make me care about what I was watching. The acting was fairly strong, yet at times it felt like much of the cast were just 'reading their lines' and the plot was fairly bland (on a per episode basis). I know this has been nominated/won plenty of awards, but I'm just not seeing it. Won't bother with season 2.

Just finished Season 5 of Sons of Anarchy. Can this show get any better? I still rate this a close second to Breaking Bad.

For this statement, I will forgive you for all your incorrect comments about GoTG. Definitely not a show for everyone but some of the best writing there has been on tv. For me, season 5 was the best of them all I think. Are you watching Justified?

Not yet but it's on our list. Too many shows to catch up on. Justified, The Wire are two on our list.

Smallville season 3: 9/10. The way that they pieced together everything from season 1 to 3 has been excellent. About as good as it gets for comic related tv shows.

Sons of Anarchy peaked for me with Seasons 3 and 4. Each subsequent season wasn't as good as the last, but it still made for entertaining television.

Jackie Boy couldn't hold Heisenberg's Crystal Blue Persuasion.

Love Hannibal. I still remember the way they started Season 2. That very first scene is jaw-dropping. And the finale... wow. Looking forward to Season 3.

I have no problem giving both S1 and S2 enthusiastic 9's out of 10.

Peaked at season 4? We are halfway through season 6 and I am practically out of breath for all that's going on with this gang.

Babylon 5 Season 2 - 8/10
