Have not seen it yet but my father-in-law (who has good taste in television shows IMO) says its really fantastic. The acting, as expected, is top-notch with the groovy Michael Emerson and the equally awesome Jim Caviezal.

I've been trying to watch farscape, but the main actor is such a ham, and... puppets? Sorry, it just doesn't work for me. Though, they've got some very attractive ladies on it.

Yah know, she has a distinctive face. Not a classically beautiful face, but a distinctive face. But, on her, it absolutely works. Very attractive lady. Didn't she do a guest spot on The Dresden Files?

Not sure. I remember Claudia Black (Aeryn) appeared on Stargate in its last seasons around the same time Ben Browder/Crichton moved over to that series. Never was a Stargate fan, but I watched some episodes because those two were on it.
Claudia also was in the excellent sci-fi movie "Pitch Black" with Vin Diesel. She was an unfortunate early casualty in that one.
Classically beautiful or not, I'm a fan of hers!

Oh no, she's beautiful, don't get me wrong. She has a distinctive face, not some blandly pretty face like say... Gwennyth Paltrow. That's why it works, her face is not only beautiful, it has character. Plus, she's got that husky voice. Grrrrooowwwwwwlllll!

I loved FARSCAPE. It did take a half-dozen or so episodes to really 'gel', I think. But if you're turned off by the main guy's hamminess, which I found fun, really, and didn't stop thinking of the puppets as puppets, you might not ever tune in.
Claudia Black ought to turn up in projects much more often. She's a good actress, in addition to her distinctive looks and great voice.
I've been watching ONCE UPON A TIME and GRIMM, both of which I really like. The first is much more ambitious in scope, I think. I was a bit shocked to see Kate Burton kicking butt in GRIMM, though. In a good way.
I also really like, in a guilty pleasure sort of way, REVENGE. It keeps swerving in ways I didn't expect. Hard to see the girl from EVERWOOD as someone as hardcore as her character here, at least at first.
I just watched HOW TO TRAIN A DRAGON- which I missed in theaters (not hard to do- my movie-going's really dropped off in the last couple of years). I thoroughly enjoyed this cartoon. It was sort of fitting to watch it just after Anne McCaffrey died. It reminded me how much I wanted a dragon to ride as a teenager (and still do, to tell the truth).

EDE, Lardy, Cobie... are you still into TERRA NOVA? I've watched the first 2 eps on HULU and am interested enough to continue. I'm mesmerized by the combo of high-tech and dinosaurs!

I haven't been keeping up with it regularly, though I've caught an episode or two since the premiere. It still strikes me as good, though not anything that's a must watch. If it.gets renewed, I'll probably go through and watch the whhole season.

I haven't watched an episode since #2. It was good and if I can watch it I will but it wasn't something I just *had* to watch.
If people were raving about it, I'd definitely check out what I've missed.

I'm 2 episodes into it and absolutely love this show. It turned into something that I wasn't expecting...which is a good thing,
Anson Mount is a good lead, but Colm Meaney totally steals this show though in my opinion.

I echo Edie and Cobie's opinions exactly. Nothing wrong with the show, but nothing "must watch" about it either. Maybe with Walking dead on hiatus, I'll catch back up with it. We'll see...
IMO, best new series to this point goes to "Once Upon a Time" of the ones I've checked out.

I saw a great documentary on the big screen a few months back called, "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams," and, since then, have been working my way through the works of director, Werner Herzog. The man himself seems batsh!t crazy, but he made some fantastic films.
I just watched his "Encounters at the End of The World" last night, and now I totally want to visit Antarctica.
Next up on the queue is his second of five films made with fellow insane person, Klaus Kinski, a film of particular note in Legion World circles: "Nosferatu the Vampyre".

I saw the first episode of Outcasts -- the british tv series Terra Nova is based/spun from. I liked it, it seemed for a bit older crowd than Terra Nova - it was kinda intense/darker. Apollo from BSG is on it and the guy from Ugly Betty too. (Betty's boss)
I'm loyally following Ringer, it's my favorite new show, there are so many twists and turns each episode.
I'm also watching Grim, it's pretty good, I like it because it's a bunch of done in ones so far, and the comical werewolf helps.

I was at my buddies' place yesterday evening, watching some of Nick Park's work: A Matter of Loaf and Death and Shaun the Sheep.
As usual, really nice looking work, but I admit it irritated me that of course the evildoer was an "old"/fat woman. Because of course a few extra pounds/years makes us all homicidal maniacs out to destroy men and/or their friendships with one another, doncha' know. Thanks, Nick.
"Shaun the Sheep" involved the flock "inventing" rugby, using a cabbage that fell off the back of a passing truck... to the consternation of the neighborhood pigs, who wanted the cabbage for themselves. It was really adorable.
