Sleepy. May go to bed soon. Almost went to sleep watching Elementary, the first of the last three episodes of the season. Not Elementary's fault - it was actually a good episode. The Moriarty arc on Elementary is oddly more intriguing and disturbing than it was in previous versions of the Sherlock Holmes tales. Also innovative. Will give Elementary credit for not doing the same thing as everyone else.

I'm wondering if I should bother with Falling Skies - it is threatening to take over my DVR. Has anyone on flist watched this series? Did you like it? Should I save myself the trouble and delete?

Same with Mad Men - I'm currently 10 episodes behind. Is the current season even worth continuing? Or should I just write it off now? My mother gave up on it some time ago.

How about Orphan Black? Good? Worth a watch? I have the whole series saved but haven't seen one episode yet.

Am holding onto Parade's End due to all the great reviews on flist. Waiting to be in the right mood for it. Right now, it just puts me to sleep...but this is admittedly a mood thing.

What TV shows should I rent via netflix this summer? This is when I catch-up on tv shows that I missed during the year, because I can't watch everything.

I sometimes think I need a TV Slut icon, although I sort of like the one I already have - it's subtle.

I think Hiatuses kill tv shows as well. It definitely has hurt LOST and Revolution. They can't build any momentum.

Episodic series like NCIS, Bones, Castle, Elementary...can do Hiatuses without any problems. But it hurts serials. Particularly ones with complicated mythologies.

I'm struggling with what to watch on netflix this summer - I can do Lost Girl - it has 2 -3 season worth of DVDs. Dexter is possible, as is Homeland.

But Grimm and Scandal - only have one season out on DVD. By the time the second is released...it will be the fall and I won't have any time.
Had the same issue with Fringe - was able to watch 1-3 seasons, but got stuck regarding 4 and 5.

I'm afraid pay per tv show bit won't work for me - I'm too omnivorous a viewer and moody. I like jumping around too much and not pre-planning my tv. I struggle with netflix..for some of the same reasons. I need to be able to sample the tv show to know if I'll like it. Without making a full commitment.
