Hockey Playoffs! (lets go Pens!), Baseballs back (lets go Pirates!). Great to cross stitch to if not enjoying a couple beers (I found drinking and cross stitching dont work well for me). I started watching Heavens Lost Property on Netflix. Kinda reminds me of Chobits. Its ok, I could go for a Horror movie but everything on netflix, that I havent already seen, looks unappealing.

Just finished watching season one of Warehouse 13, tis a good show indeed.

I gave in and ordered the second season of Lost Girl, can't wait to watch it.

I have noticed one thing about these American/ Canadian shows, I always have to turn the volume up quite high, am I the only one?

I watched a Baggage Battles episode the other day and they were in Scotland and it amused me that they had subtitles and an explanation that 'quid' meant pound! :D

Hubby and I almost caught up with Once Upon a Time over the weekend. Also started watching the Fargo t.v. series (a re-imagining of the movie) and the first episode was pretty good. Martin Freeman playing the part William H. Macy played is perfect casting. The poor guy though...always playing bumbling, stuttering fools, seems like. We've also recorded Crisis to try out along with Salem and we're looking forward to Penny Dreadful and Rosemary's Baby. Of course, Game of Thrones just came back and we've been enjoying Hannibal as well. And Blacklist came back from hiatus with a great episode on Monday! So mad though, WTHR said we could on demand Believe so I told hubby to get them so I could watch them past the first ep and they have eps 1, 2, and 4....wtf?!

Glad you enjoy it!!! I'm still not happy with the fact that the last season just started...and that it's a short one!

Wait... There's a Fargo TV Series?? Why did I not know of this? I need to find it and watch it, especially if it includes Martin Freeman.

I was really looking forward to Salem as it has tons of actors I really like in it, but... ugh. No. Its really not for me. I had hoped it would be like Sleepy Hollow, but its just not.

So instead, we're back watching Game of Thrones (ofc), Vikings, and Agents of SHIELD has finally gotten vaguely interesting. Pity they had to get a movie out of the way for it not to suck.

Everyone here seems to rave about Salem but I was so disappointed as well :/ So much potential and (to me) seemingly poor execution.

I felt the same about Grimm. I mean, it had writers/directors/producers from both Buffy and Angel and a really cool premise, but it's just so... meh.

I quite enjoy Grimm. I like the stories and the monster-of-the-week with background arcs as well, and I like the characters and the way they interact.

At the moment my partner and I are watching Grimm, SHIELD (its picked up a bit), Game of Thrones and Arrow (basically batman in green) as they come out, otherwise Angel and X files.

I loved the first season of Grimm, the fairytale back stories for the 'vessen' were really cool, and the whole idea of a 'Grimm' was really interesting, but to me it got kind of obscure in the second and third seasons, straying away from what, to me, made it really interesting in the first place. I still watch it, but it's something I prefer to stitch or crochet to.

I recently got the box sets for Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood so I've been watching that lately. I'm only three episodes in, but I'm loving it so far!
