kryptic1 says "One of the best shows on Television..ever." about 24

kryptic1 — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 13:21:36 GMT

I started watching this show at season 4 and after watching the first few episodes I was hooked. I immediately went out and bought the first season and borrowed season two and three. After watching all the seasons I could see why it is one of the most revered shows on television. The characters are developed well and the stories are inticately written. The decisions that Jack Bauer, the lead character, has to face in every season are usually devasting and have some lasting consequence. The sacrifices he makes and the way he gets the job done are what keep this show moving from episode to espisode, season to season. In an average show Jack is usually fighting the enemy while the government he is working for is working against him. In the end this show has amazing stories, great characters and a great supporting cast....

kryptic1 says "A unique and interesting show about the afterlife." about Dead Like Me

This show has an interesting take on the afterlife. The main character Georgia Lass is played perfectly by Ellen Muth as her intelligence and youth run parrallel to the Georgia character. Around Georgia are her fellow "reapers" who are an excellent supporting cast with their pasts and stories. The show has a dry humor which is integrated effortlessly into the stories. It also has its dramatic elements which usually revolve around Georgia and her coping with the new reality of being dead and becoming a reaper. An all around great show which was unfortunately cancelled after two short seasons....

kryptic1 says "Better than the original." about Stargate Atlantis

I was hesitant at first about a new Stargate show, but after watching the first season I have come to like this show even better. The wraith make an excellent enemy that is actually kind of terrifying to look at and even the way they kill you. Another example of the shows depth is the way they developed the Wraith characters as not just heartless monsters, but as creatures now trying to survive. All around the characters are well written and the action is intense. Also, I miss Torri Higginson as Dr. Elizabeth Weir....

kryptic1 says "One of the best shows in Sci-Fi or any genre." about Battlestar Galactica

kryptic1 — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 12:50:42 GMT

One of the best shows on TV in the sci-fi genre or any other. The characters are developed properly and you end up feeling a connection with each of them. The plot twists are extraordinary especially at the end of season 3 regarding the new Cylon models. If you enjoy action, drama and especially sci-fo you will love this show. Enjoy !

kryptic1 says "Great action and a great soundtrack make this movie a winner." about Young Guns 2

kryptic1 — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 00:02:34 GMT

This film became an instant classic because of the great action, great music and outstanding performances by the actors involved. Though you can consider this western more of a popcorn movie, it is an entertaining western. You do feel a bond with the characters and feel invested when some of the more dramatic scenes occur. I loved the first Young Guns and if you did as well you will not be disappointed.
