I have only watched the first two, and love them, so I am going to take your remaining five takes as suggestions for future watching. I have to disagree about Q from Start Trek TNG, though. He drives me nuts! My husband loves him, but he’s been very accomodating with our DVR lately, saying “You don’t want to watch that episode…” and choosing another.

  There are a few caveats with some of my favorite shows, so discretionary use of the ffw button (especially on BSG) is recommended. Also, Millenium is *very* dark. Also, the monsters in X-Files are too scary for kids! 😀 Actually LOST has some pretty scary elements too. So, just FYI, if you have kids around, pre-watch those shows and decide what they can handle.

  LOL – I know what you mean about Q but he just cracks me up! 😀

I just started re-watching LOST on Netflix. Not that I have time to do so. 😉

  I’m on my second time straight through, although there’s been a lot of rewatching along the way to get other family members up to speed. SOOOOO good!!!!
