Those are pretty wicked, Kuma. Oh hey guys: what's your top 5 best t.v. series? Mine go, in no particular order: Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Dexter, the Office and perhaps Big Bang Theory. Although I've got to say the Mandalorian and the Witcher both may, in time, become part of my top 5.

Hmm for live action it would be Babylon 5, Sons of Anarchy, Farscape, The Black List and Star Gate SG1. For animated/cgi series it would be, Digimon Tamers, Starship Troopers Roughneck Chronicles, Digimon Adventure, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and Gundam Seed. Game of Thrones almost made the list but after the flaws of season 7 and the terrible season 8 and butchering of characters and source material I stop rewatches after Tywin is killed at the end of season 4 so I won't count it on my list. It basically pulled an Alien 3 for me....

I'm still reading the books for Game of Thrones atm, and I'm waiting in anticipation for the last two books to come out. The last two seasons of GOT were a bit choppy, especially the last one. I was hoping the Night King would of been more of the final antagonist, but he wasn't. It seemed the last two seasons were rushed. That's what happens when you run out of source material.

And what happens when the writers and producers aka D&D lose interest and passion for it but are to stubborn to hand it over to other people to finish.

Indeed they could have taken a break, given the show to other people, at least tried to get more writers to help them finish the series, HBO offered them lots of alternatives and they closed it all down, trying to finish the show as fast as possible so they could move onto Starwars. But they learned their lesson harshly, burning in their own utter failure and losing their Starwars saga because of how badly they botched the ending of GoT, ultimately proving without George RR Martin's guiding hand how bad they were at writing and directing storylines all along.
But as for favorite TV series, it's hard to chooose just 5, the obvious one being LOST, the greatest bar none, I don't think I need to go anymore into depth as I have at length with all of you numerous times.
others include Battlestar Galactica, which had some of the best writing, acting, drama, philosophy, character development and execution of a story in television history and it was done with virtually no budget, being a scifi channel original series, I see it get included all the times in lists of greatest shows ever made and I can't help but agree.
The 2005 series of Doctor Who onward through the 12th Doctor, the new stuff with the female Doctor is just utter dog shit propaganda with no redeeming qualities. But Doctor Who has had some of the best stories and outside the box thinking found anywhere, there's a reason why it's become a worldwide sensation, although it's obviously lost some steam in recent years thanks to the woke agenda of the BBC cursing it into SJW oblivion.
Community is one of my long time favorites since the first season, it was a modern masterpiece, although a comedy it had more heart than almost any drama, a cast of future all-stars that it put on the map, so meta it was the TV show every nerd dreamed for, it even earned a second life online for it's final season, it fits in that rare air of television like Scrubs and Futurama, so good it's timeless.
And now for something completely out of left field, Survivor!, I don't care what people say or how they've gotten tired of it, I had the same opinion at different times, but once I got older and had the insight to see what it has to offer, as one of the strangest, realist, harshest, longest runnings TV shows of all time. Survivor is a display a modern human drama in a setting we don't much anymore, against the elements, in nature, fighting for the very last ounce of strength and determination, it's hard to say enough good things about it.
I have a long list of greats including It's always sunny in Philadelphia, Futurama, House, Scrubs, Stargate, Rick and Morty, The Witcher, DBZ, Westworld, Stranger Things, Future Man, Legion.

Never watched Lost myself although I don't doubt that it's good, just never really interested me and I'm a bit pissed with one of the major people behind it for the absolute mess he made of Prometheus script when he was brought in to rewrite it.
Petty of me I know but I am what I am.

Lost was a good show, and so was Farscape. I think I may watch Farscape once again. Stranger Things is a good show as well. I haven't watched Dr. Who pretty much since the Doctor became female.

Shame Farscape got cancelled although at least they managed to finish it with Peace Keeper Wars and that comic.... the Buffy and Angel treatment basically.
I used to want a reboot of Firefly but not in the current climate with polarized politics, censorship and woke culture forcing it's ungodly way into everything. I trust J.W but I don't trust any of the studios, especially since Fox is now Disney.

Anyone playing Cyberpunk when it’s released? Also, if anyone’s wondering I’ve been occupied playing ESO and Total War Warhammer 2

Since the Shoutbox has a limit to what it records and stores and we use it a lot, lets get back to using this for general chats and convos.

Has anyone watched House of Dragon? I've watched Rings of Power, and it seems quite good. Making Lady Galadriel a warrior is pretty wicked (infact, it was inferred that in her earlier years, she was a warrior). I've heard that House of Dragon has one big compelling character and that's Damon Targaryen. Still haven't watched it, because its hard to do that with a three-year old.
