Another great series was the Mentalist.

This was also an awesome scene.

I watched every single episode of the TV series, Babylon 5.

Graphics were extraordinary at the time back in 1995.

The entire series was awesome.

This particular scene changed one character from evil to good.

Never saw it coming.

It was like a hammer blow.

That’ll be the third on my list, and I always have wondered about that show. It feels like a myth, almost. Appreciate your input.

I think if everyone put aside their pride and just dealt with points as they come up we'd all be better off.

Sort of like how a guy called Paul Gungor talks about men's brains.

Men's brains are full of little boxes.

I haven’t heard that one. Is that like compartmentalization?

And yeah, absolutely. Nothing will stop you from misrepresenting yourself more than an emphasis on the truth.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. Watching Rob Ager’s review on the new Mad Max movie, right now. Looks like he actually likes it.

Glad I met you on Notes, Matthew! I am totally with you on these. And #1. The Elevator! Totally. I think this was a totally overlooked episode (not that I keep up on serialized drama criticism)

I go back and forth with which is the best show, The Leftovers, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and dark horse entry... Station Eleven.

I love all of those, and have not seen Station Eleven. By the way, I've made up my mind to either watch the Battlestar pre-series on Prime, if possible, or just suck it up and pay the ten bucks. As an entry fee to see if I'll like the rest, it sounds reasonable.

Glad to have met you here, too. Always good to have a good community.

You too, and I said Totally 4 times above 😅 Yeah, just subscribe to prime and (but with NO commercials!!) totally worth it just for the series. The DVDs are ungainly!
