I didn't have time to record a GeekyCast yesterday - the weather makes it harder to get out of bed plus I end up needing to leave a bit earlier in order to beat the traffic brought on by the rains.
Today my partner and I were watching TV and I settled on trying to watch Numb3rs. It's been a challenge for me to catch an episode from the very beginning so this seemed to be a prime opportunity. I think I like the show and that got me thinking about all the other shows I like these days and the common thread between all of them. This episodes covers non-science fiction shows, if only to set a limit on the discussion, haha.

You want an intellectual TV show with mysteries, numbers, and other geeky stuff?
ReplyDeleteLOST, my friend. LOST.
It's the only prime time TV show I know which deals with predetermination, the philosophies of Davi Hume and John Locke, electromagnetism, numbers, time travel, religion, etc.
And yes, I'm a total LOST fanboy.
you are definitely more than smitten with the show, hahaha
ReplyDeletewell, unfortunately I never really got into it. I watched the entire first season and felt they were trying too hard - they're playing with too many elements and somehow hoping that it seems mysteriously coherent when at times I find it overly drawn-out and messy.
I wonder if they'll really make it all the way to 2010 as they've announced.
Last I heard of Lost is that they only have one season left. Can't blame them. You can only do so much when you're lost. :D
ReplyDeleteTry Dexter rocky. The storyline is unique albeit a bit spooky. Michael C. Hall is exceptional!
ReplyDeleteAnd the 1st season only has 12 episodes. I was like a crazy man everytime I watch that show (uncontrollable yelling, rantings, coaching, etc.--you know what i mean). Hehehe =)

ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, the official announcement for now is that they've plotted out the story until 2010, but of course ultimately that depends on continued fan support.
@Ruff
I've never heard of that one - I'll definitely look it up, thanks!
@ Will: No, they have 3 more seasons left.
