Sounds like an interesting plot line. I'll have to check it out, I love most things BBC created.

It's actually BBC America but BBC America originals are pretty good, Copper is excellent.

I'm watching Elementary right now, and I think I actually prefer it to BBC's Sherlock, plus it has Natalie Dormer, who I am totally and irrevocably in love with

Copper is a really well done show. I thought I recognized her name. Shes the pouty faced blonde from a few Elementary episodes. I really like Elementary. Its not overly pretentious and over-acted. Some people can do without Lucy Liu but shes very good in it also.

She's so hot, she's great in Game of Thrones too. I like Lucy Liu as Watson, I think its awesome that they made a traditionally male character a woman. I also really love Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock because he's more human and he's kind but also the relationship between them isnt "romantic" at all.

That's completely the opposite of what Dexter did and everyone seemed to hate the Dexter series finale for it but I loved the creators for NOT going the predictable route that fans wanted.

I don't know about you, but I like my series finales to be about more than just being non-predictable. There's an execution part of it that needs to satisfy the audience and create some sort of reward. The final answer to the final unanswered question, or at least the semblance of an answer supported by your years of hints. Dexter's end tried to do that in a rushed, haphazard way that required huge assumptions that could never be supported throughout the entire series without making an arbitrary analysis based solely on the final episode. It could have simply been a 1 episode show and it would have made the same logical sense.
To me, it felt like a B- movie condensed into a one-hour TV show. It just didn't connect logically and satisfyingly to the history of the show.

As far as Breaking Bad is concerned, they did better. Maybe the ending could have had a bit more to it, but ends were tied logically and emotionally in that final episode that Dexter never came close to tying, other than superficially. Dexter's final episode was on par with the "wtf was the point of this" quality of The Sopranos' last episode, and that's bad.

Just sayin', there's more to an ending of years of seasons than "Oh sweet! I didn't expect that!"

IMO

I totally need to download this. I have Viking blood. Saxons is the family name.

I'm obsessed with Community, it's so damn funny!

I'm actually watching Star Trek, the very first season in 1966, it was on my hard drive that a friend gave me, as was Community. Next is Doctor Who which I have four seasons of. I will download vikings tonight and see what the fuss is about!

There is no fuss. Only greatness. You just really have to be into the whole thing. If you're a Jersey Shore kinda girl, cancel download.
