 Nice. Don't care for rock music, but that's still very cool.

They're actually a Heavy Metal band, not Rock. But to anyone other than a fan, that's just splitting hairs.

I intended it for precisely that purpose.

As for Gabriel Iglesias, yes, he's hilarious.

Misfits? Heck yes. The fourth series made me question what direction they wanted to go in, but this final series is endearing me to the casr more than ever. I liked Nathan, but I think he had a great run; they gave him a very fitting send-off, and Rudy has done such a great job since his departure. Acting as Rudy and Rudy Too, he is SUCH a good actor. Easily the most character-developed.

Unthinkable, I liked pretty good. But then, I'm a sucker for both politics and philosophy.

And actually, I thought Limitless was good. A tad predictable in some places, but not overall. Good ending, I thought.

And Colombiana was pretty awesome. A very kick-butt performance.

As for the others, I'm not sure.

But in place of The Last Legion and Centurion, I saw The Eagle. Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell actually did a good job; I liked it okay.

Cyberbully, I'm pretty sure I've heard good things about before. As for the others, even the Fast and Furious series, I have yet to see. Thanks for the recommendations.

As for my own recommendations, I thought The Adjustment Bureau was pretty good; pretty interesting and nicely done. Also, The Lincoln Lawyer was pretty good; pretty clever. And I finally got around to watching the Sherlock Holmes movie; good stuff, for sure. And Reign of Fire, I just got around to seeing; it's worth at least one watch. Also enjoyed The Last House on the Left. And shortly after Halloween, I saw an old black-and-white movie called Incubus; it's in Esparanto, and I enjoyed it okay (William Shatner stars). But the one I enjoyed most, has got to be The Departed; it really is ingenious, and kept me engaged; intriguing stuff, despite the profanity and violence; I definitely recommend it.

I enjoyed The Eagle. Normally, we see them trying to show him as cool, sexy, whatever. This one actually had substance and it wasn't him-centric. Fun stuff, and pretty engaging. Didn't think I'd enjoy him in a drama, but I did. And Jamie Bell gave a really good performance as well.

Not sure if I'll give the Fast and Furious movies a watch, but I may. Still on the fence.

Also saw House at the End of the Street. Another fun one; Max Thieriot is so good at being creepy, it's not even funny. Like, literally, that movie and My Soul to Take have made me a permanent fan of his. Seriously, My Soul to Take; that movie, OMG, so fun and intriguing and suspenseful and fun. Very, very fun. A quaint, creepy thing, really.

And The Crazies. I loved it. Took a couple turns I didn't expect, but none of it disappointed me.

Also, I need to see both the Hobbit movies. I've seen all three LOTR movies, but The Hobbit has eluded me somehow.

Not to mention, ahem...I've never seen Star Wars. So, um...yeah, that.

Yeah, I'll get around to Star Wars eventually. I always get around to movies I say I'll 'get to' eventually. Took me a few months after I first DVR'd it, to watch The Adjustment Bureau, and I DVR'd Nosferatu around Halloween and am JUST getting to it.

Fast and Furious, sure, when I have a couple days to kill, not doing other things.

Firefly, no, sadly. But it doesn't have that many episodes, right? It was canceled in its first season, if I'm not mistaken. So, that's probably up near the top of my list, actually. I like to take on smaller projects first.

The Cape? Never heard of it (good or bad). I think I'll pass on it.

As for Arrow, yeah, I planned on that anyhow, so reinforcement from you and others moves it up on my list.

And another for my list, Doctor Who. Anybody here watch it? I'd love a suggestion for where to get started watching. It has, what, 799 episodes. I am NOT gonna get through 799 episodes very quickly. I'd love a guide, to know what waters are safest to wade through.

Love Docotor Who. Watch it. Start with the beginning of the Ninth Doctor (2005) since most everything before that is hard to watch whether through missing episodes or if you just don;t like older series as much.

The basic plot is reiterated with the Ninth Docotor and everything from there builds on itself. There are a few references to adventures prior to the Ninth Doctor but the context usually gives you some clue to what happened.

I think Doctor Who is my next venture, where TV catch-up is concerned. It really looks like a lot of fun, and I'm looking for something I don't have to wait on for very long before it returns. A series running that long will be more than sufficient to keep me nice and entertained.

The other series WHD recommended, I will also keep in mind, too. Arrow will likely be my next one to catch up on, seeing as how I've already seen a great deal of Charmed, and neither Roswell nor Kyle XY really catch my interest as concepts.

Congratulate me, folks.

I'm a Whovian in training. ^_^

Doctor Who is off to a great start, and I'm ready to keep going. Two episodes down....a lot more to go.

(I'm on Episode 3 )

I've seriously considered getting into Doctor Who, myself, Wulf.  What is your impression of it so far?

 I decided to start with 9. The 2005 season really is helping bring me in, and it's got my interest, despite 'Aliens of London'.

I'll get to older series after I've completed the most recent episodes. Like, literally, after I've got all the way through Capaldi's Doctor, I'll try to get back to the older ones. I'd like to put off older shows as long as possible.

I really do enjoy it so far.

It's starting off pretty strong, in my opinion.

Fun stuff.
