    TV show recommendation thread

    Babylon 5 - JMS wrote around 90% of the scripts while maintaining a coherent arc across five seasons. The first season is kind of cheesy as far as production value, but the stories pay off down the road. The second, third, and fourth season are incredible and well-worth the time. Carnivale -...

    She's quoting from the book a few episodes back - it's shown for a second resting on her wheel chair at the end of this episode, too: Ichigo Doumei by Mita Masahiro.

    Under the Dome-CBS

    http://www.stephenking.com/promo/utd_on_tv/letter.html Interesting message from Stephen King directed toward people who aren't too happy with the changes from the novel. There are a few spoilers contained within - the big one I noticed:

    Hannibal

    Apparently Bryan Fuller has plans to take this up to as many as seven seasons. I'd love for the series to survive that long, and his plan is more-or-less where I was hoping the show would go if they kept going. I guess we'll see how Season 2 does and if they renew it for a third before I get my...

    Hannibal

    Good end to the season. Looking forward to the next. I liked the call-outs to both 'Silence of the Lambs' (the hallway with the cells) and 'Hannibal' (Vide Cor Meum as the background music) in the last scene. It's interesting to see they're deviating significantly from the Red Dragon back-story...

    Great Audiobooks

    I know it was brought up earlier in the thread back in January, but the World War Z "Complete Edition" audio book came out last month. The original abridged release was good with Mark Hamill and Alan Alda, etc, but I was always disappointed they left out some of the better stories - the removal...

    Good sci-fi/horror books?

    I would agree with Velk's comment above that it's a bit iffy classifying The Doomsday Book as horror. While it's a great book (in my opinion), and the Black Death is certainly a 'horrific' disease, I don't think it deserves a 'horror' tag.

    Great film. Very much a slow burner, but the ending is certainly worth the build-up.

    All Stephen King Books

    I'll add another +1 to the list of people assessing The Stand as Stephen King's best work. If I had to develop a top five list of his novels, I would say: 1. The Stand (What more needs to be said?) 2. Bag of Bones (A ghost story, but not strictly a horror novel. Includes one of the most...
