Jorge, my wife and I also enjoyed Spartacus: Blood and Sand. It didn't try to pretend it was Rome or Deadwood in terms of being highbrow and instead reveled in the violence and sex of the era. That made it refreshing and exciting!
It was really sad about Andy Whitfield. I actually think we might not continue watching beyond Season One since he's not in anything after.

Just watched the first two episodes of Pan Am. Pretty enjoyable, and the production looked amazing. I'm particularly keen on the actress who plays the French stewardess.

Gods of the Arena is actually pretty decent. It's set in the year *before* Blood & Sand, and you get to see some awesome backstory of Oenomaus/Dottori, Crixus, Ashur, etc. and, since it's set before the events of Blood & Sand, some relationships are surprisingly different. We know that Batiatus and Solonius are hated rivals, and that Lucretia and Crixus have 'a thing' in Blood & Sand, but their relationships are 100% different in Gods of the Arena, which is kinda neat.
I'm not sure if the violance and sex is less gratuitious, or if I just was so jaded by the amount in Blood & Sand that I didn't notice it as much in Gods of the Arena...

Episode 3 of Pan Am was somewhat of a disappointment. New York was totally miscast as Berlin. Christina Ricci's performance bordered on the manic, and there was a looooong German folksong involved.
Still lovin' the steel and glass look of the airport sets, though. In fact, if I could get away with it, I'd redo our living room in Mid Century Pan Am Terminal.

Breaking Bad Season Finale was pretty crazy. Looks like a world of possibilities for Season 5 (the last one). Glad they're pulling no punches with Walt's walk to the dark side and that no solution is ever neat and tidy.

FX Canada just launched and they're playing something called "American Horror Stroy" that looks interesting. I PVRed the first two episodes and will check them out later this week.

I checked out the first episode and liked it a real lot. My wife actually thought it was too scary and wasn't in the right mindset to watch it--so that might be a good endorsement of how chilling it is. I plan to eventually watch the entire season.
Can't wait to check out Breaking Bad Season 4, but I'll have to wait until the season is out on DVD.
Also really looking forward to the new western AMC has that will follow Walking Dead. That channel can basically do no wrong these days. (And I'm also glad to see FX staying strong now that Rescue Me is over).

I don't know why it was in my mind recently, but the other day I started thinking about one of my all-time favorite shows, "Twin Peaks". Bored last night, I watched the pilot episode again on Netflix. Man, that show was so good.
Long story short - I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to wind up watching the whole series again. Damn you, David Lynch.

So Eryk and other Hawaii 5-O fans: is Terry Quinn on full-time? To say I'm a fan is understating it like saying I don't like being stabbed. Maybe it's time I really check this show out?
Lash, you'll enjoy Arrested Development I think. It's not for everyone and it might not be in my top 5 funniest but it had true moments of comedic brilliance throughout.

Also, 'Hell on Wheels' has been freaking fantastic! AMC can do no wrong, honestly. The three best shows on television and this one is looking good too.

He's a recurring character this season. He's a key player in the ongoing storyline this season. I think he's been in about half the episodes so far (I'm about four episodes behind right now, though).

Cobie, yeah your ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT description is pretty spot-on for me... I am liking it well enough as a whole... no characters that I just fall in love with like on my TOP-FAVE shows, but each character is just interesting and amusing ENOUGH that I am into it.
Also, I learned today that in quite an intersting deal, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is RETURNING with all new shows, as a NETFLIX EXCLUSIVE.

Anybody watched Person of Interest?
It actually sounds kind of interesting, plus Michael Emerson is pretty much all kinds of awesome.
