Started watching Idiot Abroad, a BBC comedy travel show, and I have one more disk of Game of Thrones before the new season starts.

I'm watching Moone Boy (on Hulu) by Chris O'Dowd and it is amazingly funny and sweet, specially if you grew up in the late 80's. Also, I'm excited for the second season of the French series The Returned. It left off on a cool cliff hanger and I love the creepy setting and story telling method. Very Twin Peaks.
Plus, Continuum and Orphan Black's new seasons will be starting soon and I'm excited for them because they are the best Sci-Fi shows on in the US right now IMO, except Doctor Who.
Anyone else excited that Parks & Recreation will be "very gently sci-fi," according to the shows creator Mike Schur this coming season? I'm probably nerding out a little, but one of my fave characters IS Ben Wyatt.
Yes I was very curious about the use of that phrase "very gently sci fi." What can it mean? It will be fun to see what they do. As to your other post, I have started hearing a lot about that show Orphan Black. I need to watch it.

The Battlestar Galactica homage at the end of the finale of Parks at least gave me hope they will have fun with the new timeline, whatever happens.
And, yeah, Orphan Black is a pretty cool show! The main actress is awesome too.
I've been watching Doctor Who on NetFlix. Started with season 1 from 2005 and just finished season 5. What a cool show. Heard a rumor of a Doctor Who movie coming out?
