Keep going.  The character development and sociopolitical implications of the plot kept it interesting through the first 3 seasons.  The first part of the fourth was a bit of a let down for me, but I'm still looking forward to the final half season.

Yeah, we just ordered 2.0 and 2.5 from the sale.

This is my next Net-Flix tv run.  It should start around the end of this summer.

Borrowed this from Netflix and was so hooked I decided I had to have it. Not quite on the level of Planet Earth, but for an avid birdwatcher like myself an absolute must. Just amazing footage.

Great series!

Sphere (Hoffman, Stone, Jackson)

Too long, and some of the settings look pretty lame, but the story can be pretty darn interesting.

Based on the novel by Michael Crichton.

Usually the case.

Neither grabbed me.  I know Crichton. was very popular, but I did not care for any books I started, including Sphere.  Now, this is not to say I snub "popular" authors.  In fact, Dan Brown owns me. ;D

When I saw R.E.M. in 1984 they encored with "Moon River" acapella on a dark stage.
