    I've gotta say, at the moment, this is my favourite show on TV.

    I've watched from the start, heard about it when I was in the states 3 years ago, the first two seasons we're 13 eps long, and absolutely brilliant, now sci-fi have taken it up for a 21 ep full season, and I've got to say, it's got even better.

    I was just wondering if anyone else watches it? It seems to have a smaller (but growing) fan base hence why I'm curious. I think bbc2 could do with having this on their schedule :)

    Yes, I quite like it, but contrary to yours, my opinion is that the previous two seasons were better - at least so far into season three.
    Regardless; it's a good show, and one that I intend to keep following.

    Well that's annoying... everywhere else gets it early but England:(


    You've posted this on a forum full of geeks, freaks, techies and psychopaths (me fitting all of the above), I think everyone on here will have seen it at some point:p

    I love this program, although the latest episodes have been a bit so-so tbh. Still haven't seen the last two eps (thanks for reminding me!) though, so I could have a different opinion anytime now... :D

    I though 304 was absolutely brilliant, I do 303 was a little bit off, it was good, but not as good as the others so far, however, I think 304 might convince you that this seasons right one it :)

    Whoah, that was a good ep. But
    will Stark be back? After all, it is a time-travel-type device, so he might be back. On the other hand, he seemed to know exactly what would happen to him, and said a proper goodbye, even to Jack, so maybe not...

    Either way, can't wait for 3x05! :D

    Good show, nice babes, "yea, I'm a sexist dog, ain't we all" ...Here's another that flew in under the radar but is pretty funny and enjoyable: Burn Notice.

    Avid fan here, watched all of it so far, most entertaining, On a similar note to darkraven if you like wacky comedy i'd also recommend Psych - its cheese but i like it

    I watch it, but not on TV. I just wait for the boxsets to come out, like all TV I do watch. Excellent show, BTW! Hilarious and refreshing.

    Try, Try, Try again!! It's worth it me thinks.

    As everyone else seems to have said, it's quirky, it's light hearted, but with a serious edge, well acted and scripted. Refreshing is a good word for it! (well said that man).

    @ Krikkit:
    I'm thinking Stark was actually in on it! Just before he goes into it, he mentions fitting his ego, but that comment about the size of his ego made by Carter, was a couple of loops before that one, add that to the fact that Stark says he helped build it and it kinda fits in. But him knowing about it doesn't seem to help the out come, unless he knows he will be back at some point?

    OR it could be why he didn't let fargo do it.

    Either way, when I was watching it, I kept thinking he expected it all to be fine and then at the very last minute, when he calls Carter by his first name, you suddenly get the feeling that he know's he's not going to make it out.....
