I just moved Torchwood to the top of my Netflix queue, so I’ll check it out this upcoming week. Also caught Lost last night. I’ve seen a few Top Gears and enjoyed it – just added a Season Pass. I still need to watch Firefly and I want to watch The Wire, but don’t have the endurance for every season so I’m thinking of starting with season 3. (I watched half of season 1 a couple years ago.)

I actually haven’t got around to watching it yet, but In Treatment on HBO sounds like it’s good, and from what I’ve seen of it, looks interesting – and it’s airing EVERY WEEKDAY. FOR NINE WEEKS. IN HD. Thank you HBO for giving my TiVo something more to do!

I have to say that Breaking Bad has surprised me… Torchwood is back! SG as a terminator is awesome, guess she is type-cast as a bad ass SciFi heroine now.. Works for me!

I also love Torchwood – I think its better than Dr. Who.

Dave – its a PC server. WE generally limit it to about 30 players.
We are also running a sniper only server.
As to other activities – I purchased the whole Man from U.N.C.L.E. series recently so that is taking up my time where NCIS was.
But there are new Psych and Monk episodes on USA.
And then there’s Rappelz – a FREE hack-n-slash online game – a la Diablo. (its more like Diablo 3)

Ugly Betty!!! I’ve just finished watching the first season from Netflix. The only positive from this writers strike is that I’ve been given time to watch and enjoy and LOVE this incredible show! Great characters, very well written, funny and touching!

Universal HD is currently running Jericho and Battlestar Galactica from the beginning. They’re only a few episodes deep, too, so if you can’t find reruns of all the episodes so far, you should be able to Blockbuster/Netflix yourself up to speed. Of course, this is only two hours a week of content, and that’s assuming you didn’t watch these when they were new…hrrrmmmmmm.

It seems I got a lot of similar tastes to some of the comments here.

British stuff is good because they aren’t affected by the strike. I highly recommend Torchwood and Doctor Who.

I also like Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles and I loved Jericho in season one and am dying for its return..
