I never got the criticism of post-Season 1 Heroes... everyone else says it declined in quality, but somehow I didn't notice that.

As far as Reborn goes, so far, so good.

I think I watched Heroes up until the episode where

Hiro got transported into Feudal Japan.

Oh, wow. That was early on... end of Season 1/beginning of Season 2 storyline there. I actually rather liked the way that storyline turned out.

This is totally random, but one of my favorite RP characters to play was made vaguely based off of Molly Walker from Heroes (She looks like her and is rather cheery). But it has been sooo long since I've seen Heroes now I barely remember anyone.

Molly Walker is in the new series, all grown-up. And she's extremely attracitve too :blush:

Never watched Heroes... or Lost, or 24, or really any 00s TV dramas that didn't involve Joss Whedon.

I remember Molly Walker being one of my favorite characters. I don't entirely remember why, but she was. It probably helps that I made a major role play character based off of her in a sense, so.

And is she? I can't find anything about it, and it doesn't appear that the same actress is playing them if she is. At least, I can't find any info...

I saw like, an episode of 24.

I've seen every season of 24 at least three times. Grew up watching that. LOST is greatness. I'm one of the few people that love it even all the way up to the end.

You can binge watch both of them in a couple months, Meryuma. So worth it!

That's because her identity wasn't revealed until the very end of the latest episode. Listing her in the cast would've spoiled the surprise. But this is the new actress. Francesca Eastwood. Somehow Molly is like 20 now even though it's supposed to be only five years later... :unsure:

I need to being watch Lost again because it has been so long since I've seen it. There's a whole part of it I haven't even seen because I got bored of it. But I highly enjoyed (most) of it. Not sure what I think of 24, though.

Yeah, I was just about to say I found them. Or more like my sister did. I'm having a really hard time imagining Molly Walker growing up to look like that now, though. But it may partly have to do with the fact that I know the 3 actress' that get considered to be "Look alikes", and they look nothing like that so it is weird in my head. But I have no idea what Adair Tishler (Original Molly Walker) looks like now because she kinda disappeared.

And yeah, that is a little weird. She should be like a teenager or something.

Also, I found that apparently she's the daughter of Clint Eastwood. Huh.

Those are like my next 3 favorite '00s dramas after Firefly, so maybe you should give them a chance.

I watched the first two seasons of 24 in their entirety and thought they were both really good but i got distracted with other stuff in the third season and never finished it, got like half way i think. I should probably go back and try and watch the other seasons at some point.

Lost eh... well eh, it was interesting at first, but i did not actively watch it, then just lost interest and heard that it went bonkers towards the end. Heroes i watched the first season and liked, could not get into the second one.

Ever since I started watching House of Cards last year my interest in political dramas has skyrocketed. So far I've watched all three seasons of HoC, the first four seasons of Scandal, the first season of Madame Secretary, and gotten halfway through season three of The West Wing.

So The Walking Dead season 5 seems pretty solid. This show definitely got better.

Agree! Best since Season 2. And Season 6 starts in two weeks! We do have a separate Walking Dead thread though FYI.

In other news, I just saw an episode of Law & Order SVU that literally made me tear up at the end. Wow. Better guest acting than one would usually expect from that show.

I don't know, I've seen some pretty solid guest performances on that show. Which guest was it that impressed you?

Season 2 was the worst season of the whole show for me...It was when I was like "Yeah, this shows going to shit quickly", though it did have its good moments. But it seems to be on an upward spiral since. Though there's still things that bother me in the show every season.

Ugh, cop shows.

The episode was "Spectacle". When Greg Engels got his little brother back.

What about detective/investigation shows? I thought Broadchurch (which was on in 2014 and 2015 her in Britain) was absolutely brilliant. Pretty sure it got a US remake.

There's also Sherlock and True Detective, two shows I've heard good things about but have yet to watch.

Sherlock is one of the best shows the BBC has even done. The episodes are more like mini TV movies as oppose to episodes.

I think with that it depends as well. There seems to be a lot of good ones of those recently.

Sherlock is great. But each season only has 3 episodes. But they're 1 1'2 hour long episodes. It is a great show, though.

Why Not the UK version of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes? Some people I know really liked that, and I'll watch more of it in my own time.
