I really loved the end of Season 3 and all of Season 4. The finale of Season 3 reminded me of Ocean's 11, which is an awesome thing.

Finally got around to watching Breaking Bad.

Holy shit you guys. This is without exaggeration the best show on television right now. It has to be seen to be believed.

About halfway through season 2, and I hear it only gets better.

Breaking Bad (@Nanner)
Oh wow.  You don't even know.  Season 4 of Breaking Bad is the best ~13 hours of television I've ever seen in my life.

Justified
I just started watching this.  Only 2 episodes in at this point.  The pilot was great, but the second episode had quite a different feel to it, and I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was by the first one.  I'll definitely continue watching through at least the first season, but I really hope it begins to deliver on the promise of the first episode at some point.

Game of Thrones
I've also been rewatching Season 1 with a friend who hadn't seen it.  Hilarious watching her reactions.  It's also the first time I've rewatched it since reading the books (well, I'm only 1/4 of the way through A Dance with Dragons), and there's so much foreshadowing I missed the first time around that it's ridiculous.

Fringe
The fourth season has definitely gotten more interesting in the last 6-7 episodes - it's still not quite up to Season 3 standards, and I think we haven't seen nearly enough of Red Universe this season, but it definitely hasn't overstayed its welcome just yet. 

I do have to say, though, three of the episodes this season have been some of the best of the entire run - "One Night in October," "Welcome to Westfield," and "The End of All Things" were all just friggin' brilliant.  In fact, "One Night in October" has actually become my favorite of the entire series so far - yes, even surpassing "Peter" and "White Tulip."

TVLine has just upgraded its renewal chances from "could go either way" to "a safe bet" now that Terra Nova has been cancelled, which I'm happy about, but I think they need to plan Season 5 as the last season.  I couldn't deal with the show ending on a cliffhanger like the last 3 seasons have, with no resolution.  I was shocked it got renewed for a fourth season, and it'll be a miracle if it gets renewed for a fifth, but I think it's incredibly stupid to think there's even the possibility of it getting a sixth at all.

Parks and Recreation (plus Archer and Community, in passing)
This season of Parks and Rec has been the second most consistently funny show of the year after Archer (which got kinda dark last week).  While I'm ecstatic that we're getting Community back next week (which I maintain is the best show on NBC - it'll probably beat Parks and Archer for funniest-of-the-year title when it comes back), I wish they'd have put The Office on hiatus to make room for it instead of Parks.

Also, not enough Paul Rudd since he was introduced as Leslie's City Council adversary.

Shameless (US)
I don't know about you guys, but I've been enjoying this season a lot more than some of my friends have been.  I just wish Steve would leave and stay gone.  Can't fucking stand him.  I am very glad that Lip is getting more focus this season, he's my favorite.  Frank's kind of fallen into the background, though...and the ending of this week's episode pissed me off, just because I really didn't want Monica to come back, either.

Unsupervised
This show has grown on me a lot more than I expected it to.  Russ is hilarious.

Dexter
This season sucked so bad that I was ready to give up on the show until the last 30 seconds of the season.

Yeah, I think that's about it.  I've been gone so long I could fill pages with what I've been watching since I vanished, but I'll limit it to what I've got here now.

Oh wait, one more:

Sherlock Series 2
Was nothing short of absolutely fucking brilliantly amazing.  Especially the finale, which surprised me since its writer was responsible for the weakest Series 1 episode.  God, Moriarty, man...I was very iffy on his portrayal in the Series 1 finale, but holy shit did Andrew Scott change my mind.

Seriously though that episode really was well written. There's nothing to complain about to the writers. Nothing to complain about to the actors either. This entire show thus far has been engaging, tense, and awesome. I'm just "mad" at the actions of two characters right now. It made sense what they did, but damn it! NO!

That said can't wait 'till the next episode!

I thought JJ's new show might turn out to be good, but that's not what happened... not at all.

But remember the Nazi's are involved so kill Hitler!

Alternatively you could just put him in a cupboard or tell him to shut up.

I've been watching the previously mentioned DVD set of I Never Knew You Cared.

It's fun in places but nowhere near as good as the Uncle Mort radio series (the books are very difficult to get hold of).

The television incarnation does suffer from some of the hallmarks of early seventies British television comedy.

Particularly the racial non-jokes which don't sound like they came from the pen of Peter Tinniswood at all.

At times they sound like off cuts from a script from Love Thy Neighbour.

Tonight's episode of The Walking Dead (season 2 episode 12) was pretty fucking good.  Definitely better than any other episodes this season, which has been pretty lackluster compared to the first.

Both the big event and the big reveal I'd expected from reading the comics - I'm quite satisfied with how both were handled on the show.

RE: Last web series/tv show seen

Helen of Troy (from the Iliad) is widely known as "the face that launched a thousand ships". Thus, 1 milliHelen is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship.

people make up obscure units of measure all the time, I wonder if such a system could be converted to television rating. Ideally - the most basic of entertainment would have a rating of 1 milliBreakingBad.

Just finished season 1 of Homeland - I'd rate it seven hundred and fifty thousand milliBreakingBads - or 3 balls [of 4] by todays current standards.

 

Episode 3 of Danger 5 tonight. Can hardly wait - they often talk about it...but I don't think they'll ever kill Hitler.

Loving Archer.  Would recommend it to any fan of the preceding Sealab 2021 or Frisky Dingo.  What this has over Sealab is occasional character development and consequences.  Also, the way it riffs on the spy genre is pretty fun.  And gotta love all the anachronisms regarding what time period it actually takes place in - love that they have cell phones and reel-to-reel computers.

Highly recommended if you want a good laugh.

...I missed that one, subsequently I missed The Talking Dead. Which had both Lauren Cohan and Zachary Levi from Chuck on it...

Seriously though I'm sure I'll be able to catch up with watching those soon.

Last show I watched was Star Trek TNG. The episode names are kind of eluding me at the moment because I watched a few. I think the title of the last one was "parallels". Where Worf won the tournament returning with a three pronged trophy. Leading up to his returning to quarters, receiving a painting from Data. Which "causes" his slight momentary loss of balance. In short it was a Worf centric episode.

Dirk Gently is turning into a rather nice show.

I disliked the pilot, largely for what it wasn't which was a mistake on my part.

If you see this Dirk as being a totally different but related character to the book Dirk, the show is almost as much fun as Sherlock.

Archer. First part of season finale - featuring Bryan Cranston - aka the best actor ever.
