Good point. Just wanted to squeak it in there!

Haven't seen SOA (saw seasons 1 + 2) recently, haven't touched Game of Thrones yet. Dexter has died a slow death since season 5.

I disagree here -- it's been up and down, but I think it's finishing strong.
Season 1 was unbelievable.
Season 2 was good.
Season 3 was crap.
Season 4 might be the best single-season of TV I've ever enjoyed.
Season 5 was meh. Julia Stiles was bad.
Season 6 was fantastic IMO. Not quite season 1 or 4, but I really enjoyed it.
Season 7 thus far has been good -- moved too quick early, but it's setting up nicely. This will be the last, and I'm ready for it to wrap up, but I think it's been solid throughout.

I've got Season 1 of Homeland waiting for Dexter to end. Don't want to get it started yet.

I love the TV threads in the Dobber Lounge.
Isn't it oddly wonderful that fantasy-hockey-minds love the same shows?

I mean, seriously... I have the same list as others.
I found out today that we are finally receiving Dexter Season Six, Disc Two by Netflix Disc mail. Score.
I'm currently half-way through Breaking Bad Season 4 (amazing show) on Netflix Instant.
I watched Game of Thrones, Season 1 (based on popular opinion here) and... loved it.

Homeland is on my Netflix Disc queue for post-Dexter.
Unbelievably, I've never seen the Wire but based on everything I've heard... I need to queue it up right after Dexter/Homeland.

Thumbs up, Dobber TV threads.
Gooooooooo Lounge.

1 - very good
2 - good
3 - decent
4 - amazing (Lithgow still gives me nightmares)
5 - awful (worth skipping)
6 - the first quarter was great - Mos Def was a fantastic character. The season went down the tube about half way through. So predictable.

I haven't stayed current with 7.

I've always enjoyed Dexter, but since I watch these shows all at once I don't have the benefit of talking it over with people as they happen. I think that allows for a bit of bias to creep in - other people will point out things that suck that you didn't catch, etc. So I have no complaints about much. Last season was predictable, except the very end.

I believe it's going 8 seasons though, not 7.


Some key shows we're missing that I've enjoyed over the years:

24 - the first three seasons. I'm sorry, but this show broke the ice for weekly serials and got it all started. And season 1 and 2 you couldn't stop yourself from popping in the next disc and banging out all 24 shows in two days. I give it credit for that, and without this show I never would have sat down and watched the ensuing shows. Like these:

Lost
Sopranos
The 4400
Jericho the only real season, (prior to them squeezing 12 shows into like 4 and making it suck)

And then we've already mentioned the other good ones. Except True Blood. My wife and I got into that one a couple months ago. Oh, and Sparticus, another goodie.
