Buffy should have been on my view list, and would have been had my world not been so topsy-turvy at the time, if only because Sarah Michelle Gellar is a heartbreaker -- even without stabbing you with with a wooden stake. I loved her performance in Cruel Intentions, which, come to think of it, I'll have to revisit sometime.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656921634940224775.post-44036555346491384462015-05-07T20:57:42.531-04:002015-05-07T20:57:42.531-04:00Yeah binge watching used to be the only way to wat...Yeah binge watching used to be the only way to watch those anime series I used to review. Because you'd get 4 episodes per disc and just watch them all in a single go. :)<br /><br />These days we find ourselves binge watching a lot. I just finished off seasons six and seven of Star Trek: The Next Generation and started in on "Deep Space 9". I never got into the series while they were on the air, but I'm enjoying them now. <br /><br />But the real surprise was the marathon watching we did of the HBO series "The Wire". Gritty crime drama filmed in Baltimore. Not the type of thing I would normally watch, but the writing, the acting and the stories were really really good and involving. Really a great show, once you get past the first couple episodes and allow yourself to get pulled in.<br /><br />Buffy is one of my favorites from the 90s. That and the X-files.Roman J.

Good to know there is something in the wings on which to binge after I use up my current list.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656921634940224775.post-68638348629636104972015-04-27T12:54:27.845-04:002015-04-27T12:54:27.845-04:00I've been binging on Louis CK lately, if I can...I've been binging on Louis CK lately, if I can catch more than one episode on the FX Channel. Also I'll watch something like Impractical Jokes (TruTV), sort of a Candid Camera for pranks. It's silly, but makes me laugh, which not many sitcoms do, so I go with the flow. The same goes for the Carbonaro Effect, which is sort of another Candid Camera type show, but includes magic tricks to befuddle the public it's played on. Sometimes it might something like Forensic Files, or Flea Market Flip, or something else, but yeah, it all depends on mood. <br /><br />I'm currently getting caught up with Game of Thrones as well. House of Cards I haven't seen. Is it any good?El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.com
