I love "Chuck" and "Gotham". I have both of them on DVD except for the final season of "Gotham" which hasn't been released yet.
I loved 'Chuck' too taylorfirst1 and I really hope we get to see it come back some day whether it is as one more shorter season like they did with '24: Live Another Day' or a TV Movie just so we can see if Sarah got her memories back and what the other characters are doing now and I know some people didn't like the final season and thought the show was going downhill but I would have liked to have seen it go on for one or two more seasons. Not sure what the chances of it coming back now are but the actors have said multiple times they would love to do it again and there are a lot of fans who want to see it return. Yvonne Strahovski was so awesome and sexy as Sarah Walker and she did all her own stunts in that show and is highly trained in karate and I never thought we would see the actor who plays Chuck of all people go on to play a superhero and somebody really needs to give Yvonne a superhero role 'cause she is perfect for it. If DC doesn't want to use her the MCU should make her Shanna the She Devil. I wouldn't be opposed to her dying her hair red and playing Red Sonja either 'cause she could do all the fighting scenes in that.

Just finished Season 4 of The Affair on DVD. I can safely say this was my least favourite season of the show (yes, I liked it even less than last season). The show seems to have pretty much run out of steam at this point. The majority of the season alternated between boring me and annoying me. It was about as subtle as a sledgehammer with its overall ‘message’/theme this season (and speaking of themes, this show’s opening credits theme music has got to be one of my least favourite ever. Four seasons in and it still hasn’t grown on me. It’s completely skippable...though the opening credits themselves are always interesting to watch and took on particular relevance this season, especially with Alison). None of the storylines interested me this season, and basically all the characters have become intolerable (I also don’t remember the previous seasons being so sweary. I mean, sure, the characters dropped F-bombs here and there, but this season they seemed to kick that up a notch to the point where it seemed like *everyone* was doing it all the time. It got a bit tiresome after a while). While I liked seeing Emily Browning and Phoebe Tonkin make guest appearances this season (the former in several episodes, the latter just in one episode), both felt pretty wasted/pointless here. And Julia Goldani Telles (who plays Noah's and Helen's oldest daughter, Whitney) had her name in the opening credits every episode this season...but only appeared in the last one (what’s the point of having an actor’s/actress’s name in the opening credits as a ‘regular’ if they aren’t even in the show regularly? I saw just as much of her in the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life mini-series as I did in this season of The Affair (ie. one episode). I won’t bother going into detail about all the stuff I didn’t like this season (there’s far too much), but will instead focus on the few things I did like. One of my favourite scenes this season was in episode 6, with Alison and Helen talking like civilized people and Helen giving her some sage advice. While the majority of the season wasn't very memorable, it certainly got better near the end...starting with episode 8. As it featured Noah and Cole stuck together for pretty much the entire episode (along with Noah’s student, Anton – who I didn’t like for the first half of the season, but who I found to be a bit more likeable in this episode). The mistaking of Noah and Cole as a couple (and Anton as their son) allowed for some humour in the first half of the episode...which made the impact of the last half of the episode all the more effective, as I was not expecting Alison to be confirmed as dead (the thought had crossed my mind that might've been what happened when it was first mentioned she’d gone missing, but I never seriously thought the show would off her...though I probably should have realised after finding out Ruth Wilson was going to be appearing in the new His Dark Materials series when I saw the trailer for it). The way they handled the characters finding out about her death and then going to ‘confirm’ it was pretty sad/effective, I thought. I’m glad we didn’t see her body in great detail, as I did not wish to see Ruth Wilson, who I personally find quite lovely, looking all corpse-ified and gross. I thought it was actually better that they showed very little of her dead self (and from far away). Though it was pretty rough of Cole to tell Noah to go identify her when it was Cole who had insisted the photos weren’t enough and they had to see her in person. Kudos to Joshua Jackson for his portrayal of Cole’s grief. Dominic West was also good, though it kind of annoyed me that Noah didn’t show nearly as much emotion as Cole did over Alison’s death. He had a moment here and there, but on the whole it felt like he was much less devastated over it. Episode 9, though, was probably even better than episode 8, as it gave us a final episode devoted entirely to Ruth Wilson’s character of Alison Bailey. She killed it in both halves, I thought. It was a surprise when the first half melded into the second half and we realized that the first half was how she wanted things to play out. Sadly, the reality was much darker/far more depressing. I recognsied Ramón Rodríguez from a few other things I’d seen him in, and he did a good job in this show with his portrayal of Ben, a guy who came across as quite likeable early on in the season, but who showed his true colours in the second half of this episode. It was a truly tragic ending to Alison’s character. She finally took Helen’s advice and stood up for herself (in both versions of the episode’s events), and how was she repaid for it? With a violent, undignified death and being dumped in the water. Suddenly the theme song’s lyrics of ‘sink back into the ocean’ made perfect sense. I really appreciated the inner monologue we heard from her after she’d died (as odd as that may sound). What really stinks, though, is it seems no one is going to discover the truth of what happened to Alison...unless it happens in Season 5/the last season. However, without Ruth Wilson...I’m not sure whether I’m really going to want to watch the last season, as she was the reason I got into this show and now I feel like I’m just not that invested anymore without her in it. We’ll see. Maybe eventually I’ll cave and buy the last season when it’s really cheap on DVD here, I’m not sure. For now, though, at least I have her new series to look forward to.

Just finished Season 1 of the new Lost in Space on Blu-ray. I wasn’t sure what this show was going to be like when I got it, but I checked it out for two reasons: the first being that Parker Posey (who I’m a fan of) was in it, and the second being...that robot looked pretty awesome. Naturally, they were two of my favourite parts in the show (though, surprisingly, in reverse order, – with the robot being my absolute favourite part of/character in the show). Considering the Robot didn’t even have a face (at least not much of one, anyway. Just some glowy blue lights, really), it’s amazing how much he seemed to ‘emote’ and the sympathy I felt for him. Kudos to the actor who portrayed Robot. When he was protecting/saving/helping/ learning things – those were the moments I really enjoyed. And so I knew it was inevitable there’d be sad moments (there always is with this type of character – be it a robot or an animal/creature or whatever). Sure enough, those sad moments did eventually happen. Watching Robot forced to walked to his apparent ‘death’ at Will Robinson’s command was *not* fun. Yes, I know that Robot injured Will’s father and had even killed people in the first episode – but there were reasons for both. The reason for the former was that he was defending himself from getting shot at and Will’s dad got in the way (so he swatted him aside like a bug), while the reason for the latter was…he wasn’t the same Robot when he killed people. It’s all about the programming and who repairs him, it seems. He Was like the Terminator protecting John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day when it came to Will Robison (after he’d repaired him in the first episode). No one was a better protector than he. So, yes, I really didn’t like seeing Will send Robot to his apparent ‘death’ – and that made me really dislike the kid (who, to my surprise, I’d been more or less fine with up until that point, when usually kid characters in things annoy me from the start). The way that Robot looked at Will (like he knew that he was going to his 'death', and was looking at Will as if to say, "But I'll die.") was the saddest part, I thought. Of course, the real reason for what happened was master manipulator, the fake Dr. Smith. Lying certainly as easy as breathing for her, and she seemed to play the ‘long con’, manipulating things to get from point A to B to C. And whenever she was on the verge of being caught out, she’d change up her story to suit whatever situation she was in/whichever person she was trying to manipulate. Parker Posey was certainly perfect for this role, though I do wish they’d allowed her to bring some more ‘darkly comedic’ touches to her character. One of the only times I can recall her getting to play this was when she drugged her sister (played by Selma Blair – who I was surprised to see appear on the show, and in such a minor guest star role too) and was waiting for her to fall unconscious. She made this little waving hand gesture like she was thinking “ Pass out already!” – and that was morbidly amusing. I wish there’d been more of that sort of thing from her character. I know a lot of people seem to hate her, but I thought she was probably the most intriguing character in the show (after Robot, of course. So make that ‘most intriguing human character in the show’). I was surprised that the other most enjoyable character turned out to be Penny. Why? Because she actually had a sense of humour and got the best lines out of everyone. Yes, she could act like a ‘typical’ teenager at times, but on the whole she wasn’t too bad. Less fun was her sister, Judy. She seemed to be set up as the ‘special’ one early on who could do all manner of things (which was odd, considering I thought that was Robot’s job). Her ‘bitchiness’ early on in the first few episodes got irritating, and although she lightened up a bit towards her siblings, she seemed to redirect that bitchiness towards Don West. Speaking of, I thought he was the typical ‘roguish’ smuggler type character who could be snarky at times. Nothing particularly new/interesting with his character really...though I did like that he came to care about the chicken so much. Will Robinson was okay most of the time, but did make some dumb mistakes at times and I liked him less after he’d ordered Robot to commit suicide. Out of the two parents, the father, John, was probably the more likeable of the two. He actually didn’t seem to ‘coddle’ Will too much (having every confidence he could sim to save Judy frozen in the ice). He also eventually came to at least try to be understanding/okay with Robot (despite his obvious wariness). The mother, Maureen, on the other hand was really irritating at times. While I didn’t outright hate her, she didn’t exactly make me like her either. I guess I was ‘neutral’ on her (on occasion leaning more towards ‘dislike’). I didn’t feel much for any of the other characters they met/interacted with really (some were okay, others not so much. Most of them didn’t really leave any impression on me) I’m more intrigued by the season final and how they’re actually ‘lost in space’ now all by themselves. I really want Robot to somehow come back. I don’t care what has to happen to achieve this – he was the BEST character in the show! He has to come back!). The show certainly looked impressive. Some nice effects and scenery, some good action/tension here and there, and the show’s theme was something I liked listening to whenever they’d play it (the opening credits were sort of the opposite to what the opening credits sequence for The Affair (the last show I finished) were for me – here the theme was better than the opening credits themselves, which kind of bored me, whereas in that show the credits themselves were interesting, but the theme was...not good. Anyway, I’m not sure where they’ll go next with the story, but this show was a pleasant surprise for me. I’m glad I gave it a chance/checked it out.

Just finished Season 1 of Falling Water on DVD. This is a weird show. The whole reason I even became aware of it was because I noticed a French film, television and theatre actress who I'm a fan of, Lizzie Brocheré, was in it. Apparently the show had been out on DVD here since the end of last year. It had completely escaped my notice until a couple weeks ago. Having liked her in the other things I'd seen her in, I checked out the trailer for the show and it looked interesting. Of course, managing to find it on DVD here was a chore and required driving a long way to get to the only place that still had any copies left. I knew it also starred Will Yun Lee, who I've taken notice of ever since seeing him in the TV series Witchblade. I liked him there and have liked him in several others things. So two out of the three main actors in the show being ones I was familiar with/a fan of certainly helped tipped the scales in favour of getting this show I didn't really know much about. Apparently, I have seen the third main actor from the show, David Ajala, in other things (after looking at his IMDB list of credits)...though I can't really remember him from them. Like with the TV mini-series The Little Drummer Girl, I can safely say that the majority of the time I wasn't really sure WTF was going on in this show - such is the way with a show about dreams. What I *do* know was that I constantly felt sleep whilst watching it - which, normally, wouldn't be a ringing endorsement for a series ("It makes you feel tired/ puts you to sleep? Must be boring!"), but since this show was going for a 'dreamlike quality'...I guess it succeeded in that regard. Some might find it 'slow', and it certainly doesn't go 'over-the-top' with the dreamy imagery. No moving cityscapes or anything like that. It's more 'low key' with it's dream imagery. I'm not sure if I ever really got to 'know' the characters of Tess, Taka and Burton. While we spent plenty of time with there, so much of what I was watching was spent wondering whether it was real or a dream and trying to figure out WTF was going on, that I can't say I got a real 'handle' on the characters other than Tess was wanting to find 'The Boy' (a creepy albino-looking kid who she was convinced she had given birth to even though everyone else was telling her otherwise), Taka wanted to help his catatonic mum speak again (and got involved with Tess's sister, Sabine, in the process), and Burton had a fling with 'The Woman in Red' (which dream-type movies always seem to have) and then spent the whole season trying to find after she was kidnapped. Speaking of 'The Woman in Red' (Anna Wood), throughout the early episodes of the show she alternated between resembling Stana Katic and Cobie Smulders to my eyes. It was weird. Sometimes she'd look like one, other times the other. Those two^ pics are actually from Season 2, but they're the only ones I could find which illustrated my point. However, in the last however many episodes, she didn't really resemble either of them much to me any longer. I guess it's just a result of seeing someone 'new' to you/seeing someone for the first time. I wasn't familiar with the actress prior to this (though, like with David Ajala, apparently I have seen her in other things...I just don't remember her in them). Anyway, it's always somewhat strange when an actor/actress looks like another from certain angles/in certain lighting, then the rest of the time...really doesn't (and you wonder how you could've ever thought they looked like the person - or, in this case, people - you thought they looked like). This show seemed to take itself fairly 'seriously' the majority of the time. I can't say I ever laughed much throughout it - but that's okay. I don't *have* to have humour in everything I watch (sometimes it gets a bit too much/shows go overboard with it and you lose any sense of 'danger' because everyone's wisecracking/making light of serious situations). However, I did snicker on the rare occasion. Also, Lucy Walters played a 'fun'/entertaining sort of character by the name of Isla. She certainly stood out in her all-white ensemble, with slicked back blonde hair and heavy eyeshadow. At least she didn't annoy me like several other supporting/recurring characters did. One actor I did recall was the one playing the part of Bill Boerg, as I remembered Zak Orth from the two seasons of Revolution. He was playing a very different sort of character here (actually got to be quite creepy). Out of all the episodes, the season final actually felt the most 'exciting'/'interesting', as there seemed to be a loop of the same 'dream' (or was it?) over and over. Stuff actually happened and there seemed to be some progress made. At least Tess finally managed to get her son//'Dream Jesus(?)' back. I would've said it felt like a series final...except for what happened with Burton near the end - that made it seem like there was more story to tell. Thankfully, I see, there *is* a Season 2. Whether or not we get that here on DVD is another thing. Mostly, though, what I'll take away from this show is this song that was played several times throughout Season 1 (including the season final, which it ended on). From what few comments I've read in regards to the song, it sounds like it was done specifically for the show? All I know is I actually quite like it. Whether I liked the show itself - that I'm not entirely sure of. But, hey, it was worth it for ten episodes of Lizzie Brocheré (and at least she didn't die here, unlike pretty much everything else I'd seen her in). If Season 2 *is* ever released here, I'll no doubt check it out. Not sure if I'll follow it any better than I did this season, but oh well.

Supernatural - Season 1. A great season. Thank you @deblovesbeccy for recommending this show. I am glad you are enjoying the show Raimo47. I thought you would like it being a Horror and the first season was awesome and had a lot of good episodes and you will be glad to know there are many more to come and the show was very addictive in its earlier seasons and always left you wanting to see what is going to happen next. I won't spoil too much for you but I think Seasons 5, 4 and 6 are the best followed by 1, 11, 3, 2 and 8 and 4 is when Castiel joins and he is my favourite character and stays on in the show and is kinda like the third brother. Castiel is an angel and he has powers and they introduce angels and a lot of other things as the show goes on and in Season 5 the main villain is Lucifer. There are a lot of good guest characters and I liked Bobby, Crowly, Claire, Jo, Ellen, Jodie and Amara to name a few. They are up to the final season on TV now (Season 15) and the main villain in that is going to be their biggest challenge to date and you still have a lot of seasons to go so have fun watching it.

Lost Season 1. It holds up really well. One of the best first seasons of a show ever in my opinion. Too bad they totally dropped the ball with the pathetic way the show wrapped up.

I do agree here that the first season of LOST was very good .
IMPO - I really thought this show should have been
a TV Mini Series instead only because it seemed to drag out way too long on the storyline
and way over too many seasons also .
Also IMPO - I really didn't have a problem with
the ending of this show either
because for me it seemed to fit just right
and gave this extended shows storyline
it's final yet proper closure .
I hope you were still able to enjoy this show
for what it was even with it's few flaws - as I did as well .
Thanks so much poelzig for your input on this show
and for your TV Show reminder here too .

The new interpretation isn't very 'comedic' at all. There's some snarky lines here and there, but on the whole it plays things more or less 'serious' (though that talking carrot you mentioned does make an appearance in one of the extra features when the original actor who played Will Robinson and the new actor playing Will Robinson compare the previous version/new version of the show). I'd definitely recommend checking it out, Deb.
