And FarScape keeps getting better. The 1st season is easily the worst of the four and you need to watch Peacekeeper Wars for the finale.

edit: gently caress, beaten!

Holy crap, I'm making my way through Farscape and season 3 keeps getting better. I'm like 6 episodes into this season but holy gently caress I remember some of it when I caught it on TV but first of all the loving 2-parter where Zahn sacrifices herself, followed by the episode where they go back in time and can only unfuck their mistake long enough to not have a total shitshow (but it still ends on a super loving downer) and then John gets cloned and both clones survive while everyone else is having doubts about not being sure if they are the clone or the original.

It only gets better from here doesn't it? I remember bits and pieces but not sure on the timeline but eventually one of the Crichtons dies from radiation poisoning or something?

You got it! Daedalus Demands and Icarus Abides are loving brilliant episodes.

Just dropping in every 20-30 pages of the thread or so to remind everyone that they owe it to themselves to check out Longmire.

You're missing a good show along with Lou-Diamond Phillips' best acting in years.

Along with Bailey Chase just killing, Peter Weller popping up occasionally, Peter Stormare in an incredible guest role, Katee Sackhoff in the best acting she's ever done. It really is an amazing series.

I also started watching Longmire and binged through the first season last week. I'm liking it so far and regret not getting into it from the beginning, although in my defense I saw one of those pre-trailer promos in a movie theater that made it look like some kind of cheesy cowboy drama and completely turned me off from checking it out until now. There are occasional rough spots (the number of times the super honorable, old-fashioned sheriff breaks the law For The Right Reason� is kind of silly) and the main dude sometimes makes Raylan Givens look like a wall street banker by comparison, but I really like most of the character dynamics and the stuff with the reservation police force and politics is interesting without being too heavy-handed.

And I wish Peter Weller would show up in and direct episodes of every show I watch. That dude continues to be loving awesome.

Season 3 is loving brutal.

No direct stories but Buffy and Angel had characters crossover after the WB/UPN split.

Actually Season 4 of Angel and Season 7 of Buffy were in lockstep as one group fought Ultimate Good and other fought Ultimate Evil. Some really clever dialogue choices reinforced that.
