I came in on Lost some point during the first season. What helped was is my brother and I watched the entire Season 1 in like 2 days in preperation of Season 2 and I've been watching it all along ever since.
Before every single season, we rewatch the entire show (I now do it with my wife). So I've watched Season 1 5 times and some episodes 6 times.

But no, seriously...
I had planned to write a scathing criticism of Heroes Season 3 a few months ago (much like my over the top ones of some of DC's series) but just couldn't muster the energy. Needless to say, Blacula's said it all.
Matt, totally agree about Damages. I still haven't seen Season 2 though and none of 3 (I'll get around to it).
Glenn Close totally blew me away on the Shield Season 4 a few years back so this was a no-brainer. I was delighted to see her take her already A-game to the *next* level.

Both Flashforward and V started off strong for me, but I lost interest with the extended midyear break. Strangely, the long wait has only made me more excited for new epsiodes of Glee!

Damages and The Amazing Race are about it for me. Well, I do watch 2.5 Men with my wife, but I think we are getting tired of it. I was watching V, but the big break made me lose interest completely. Oh, I am also recording Spiderman and His Amazing Friends and watching the one ep that is aired each week. (I would love to see this on DVD - the editing is atrocious.)
Whoops - almost forgot, my wife and I do watch The Mentalist. What a fun show!

After having watched the first season of Misfits, I learned of another BBC show called Being Human.
The first tagline I read for it, "A vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost share a house in Bristol" made me check it out. I mean, it sounds like the beginning of a joke, right?
I just finished watching the first two seasons. Here's the Season 2 trailer.

I caught "Across the Universe" finally and I've got to say I enjoyed it quite a bit! I thought it was very moving in parts. Like Lardy told me ages ago, its a must see for Beatles fans.

I've been spending the last few nights away from the computer, enjoying my new G.I. Joe Season 2 DVD. Season 2 often gets dismissed just because those lame new villains, Dr. Mindbender and Serpentor, supplanted the awesome Destro and Cobra Commander. But even so, there's a lot to like about Season 2 IMO. The ratio of good to bad episodes is about the same as Season 1, and I liked several of the new Joes, especially Sci-Fi, Cross-Country, Beachhead, Mainframe, Leatherneck, Wetsuit, and Lift-Ticket. I also adored one of the new Cobras: Zarana. And best of all, my favorite female Joe, my role model Lady Jaye, appeared in a lot more episodes than Scarlett or Cover Girl.

I never realized it at the time, but do you think the purpose of Serpentor's introduction was to try to replicate the Megatron/Starscream relationship by shifting Cobra Commander into the Starscream role?

Good point. Even more ironic, the Season 1 relationship between Cobra Commander and Destro anticipated the Galvatron/Cyclonus relationship from Transformers Season 3.
And you just reminded me that the final episode of G.I. Joe Season 2 sets the stage for a Cobra civil war that would have been a much better plot for the G.I. Joe movie than the silly Cobra-La nonsense they ended up doing.

The Darkstorm/Lexor relationship in Visionaries is yet another variant of the Megatron/Starscream relationship (with Chris Latta once again playing the treacherous lieutennant).
And Cobra-La was horrible! As questionable as much of Transformers: The Movie was in my mind, it blew the G.I. Joe movie out of the water.

Well said. While both movies suffer from the same core problem -- great animation, weak story -- the Transformers movie is still much better, although I'm deeply ambivalent about it. I hope you're still considering doing an EDE Retro Review thread for Transformers.
I hope Visionaries is released on R1 DVD someday, because it's one of the few classic 80s cartoons that I never got the chance to see.
