All my posts in this thread are "+1".  :laugh:

Vikings is great. I also agree on the quality of the seasons. Not sure I like the trend that started in season 4.

I lost interest after they went to Paris, just got really weird.

Babylon 5 is on "go90". Not sure if you can download it for watching, though.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Ha! +1 again!  :laugh:

One of my favorite Science Fiction shows. Though they suffer from the curse of Babylon 5, in which like half the stars of the series died early deaths. I blame the Shadows.

So, with my new smartphone that doesn't suck, I need some TV shows to download to watch while I work out, or while I'm travelling.  I watched all of Justified over the summer while bicycling at home.  Currently downloading the first season of Deadwood.  Grand Tour season 2 will be downloaded when it's available in a couple weeks.  Beyond that I need some help.

How about radio shows?  http://www.cbsrmt.com/synopsis.html/1974 

I used to listen to these all the time in the 70's; I need to download a bunch for road-trips.

I burned out on Vikings when it hit season 3. I ended up rewatching Gilmore Girls instead.

Another one you might like if you haven't seen it already is Spartacus. The first season and the prequel season are good. The second season... Well, it's alright. Plus, "Jupiter's cock!" is like one of the best expletives ever.

If your manhood can stand it, you might want to try Gilmore Girls. Seriously, it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. I would totally live in Star's Hollow. It's one of the ones Dad inadvertently got into because of me.

Saw a few episodes many years ago when SWMBO had it on.  Meh.  Certainly not going to go through the bother of downloading them.

New western on Netflix called Godless. I'm 4 episodes in, good so far.  Stars Jeff Daniels and Mary Dockery.  She was one of the sisters on Downton Abbey, so to watch her as an 1880's rancher is fun..

Resurrecting this thread because my wife and I just finished 'Godless' last night.  What a well-written and acted show.  We give it two thumbs up, and wish there were more Westerns on these days.

Wife and I binged Godless a while back.  We both really enjoyed it.

eta:

Wife and I are currently re-watching Sons of Anarchy.  We're seeing some good stuff we missed the first time around.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

This, in spades.  Michael Connelly is heavily involved in the production of the series, which helps keep things true to the theme of the books.
