So im caught up on Fringe Chuck. Carrie and i will watch spartacus together , any other reccomendations?

Breaking Bad possibly.
Plot is:
Middle aged high school chemistry teacher, married, has an older son with cereberal palsy. His mid 40s wife just found out she is pregnant, lost her job and they can barely make ends meet. He hates his job because he was actually a partner for a chemicals company that filed for a patent and made billions, but his parter stole his fiancee and they effed him over. Ie, way over qualified.

Finds out he has terminal lung cancer, and his teacher's insurance doesn't cover treatment. He has no money to pay for treatment, and no money to leave for his family if he doesn't make it.

His brother in law is a DEA agent and constantly talks about how stupid meth people are, and they are begging to be caught.

He gets the idea to apply what his brother in law taught him, plus his advanced chemistry knowledge to make and sell meth.

It's basically a dark comedy.

Anyone watch The Pacific Part 1 tonight?

Uziel · 03-15-2010, 01:30 PM

I DVR'd it as I was watching Boondock Saints 2.

You guys caught up on Spartacus? The last episode was horrific (like, what happened was horrific, I was seriously disgusted which takes alot).

Magua · 03-15-2010, 04:21 PM

I'm all caught upon Spartacus. What part was horrific? You mean what happened to the new gaul guy?

Uziel · 03-15-2010, 05:21 PM

Yeah, exactly that.

Magua · 03-15-2010, 06:23 PM

Yeah that was pretty graphic and disgusting. Was like a bad version of Jesus on the cross if that says anything...lol

Did anyone watch this past week's episode of Spartacus(chuck?) and then their was The Pacific on Sunday night. I watched both and while that episode of Spartacus didn't have much "fighting" -at least amongst the Gladiators- it was still good imo for othe reasons I won't say to ruin it for anyone who didn't watch yet.

And as I stated in the Shoutbox, The Pacific showed about 10,000 japs getting absolutely shredded in half by bullets so that was cool haha

Also, for the Lost lovers, how's this season so far? I'm quite a few episodes behind but I have them downloaded and will probably watch them over the next few days.

I haven't started watching The Pacific yet but I have it on DVR. Breaking Bad Season 3 just started, and that takes priority over everything except for Lost atm. I did see that Spartacus episode, I have no idea how their writers are so good at making me never expect what happens and then raising the bar every episode.

Lost this season is good, answering many questions, but that isn't saying much considering there are like 5,000 questions.
