    Oh, I meant the new episode is coming out tomorrow. Spoiler: don't reveal this unless you have watched the 9th episode of season 3.
    I think that Daryl will come back.
    Also, I'm not sure if anyone has heard this in the next episode, but:
    Morgan is coming back

    Season 2 was just bad. They kind of redeemed themselves by quickly deciding to make season 3 take place in the prison arc.

    Season 2 is OK, probably not as good as 1. But I just started watching Season 3 (up to ep 5 now) and it's getting pretty good again :)

    Nothing really happens in season 2 aside from first and last episode.

    It's a complete bore fest compared to season 1.

    Daryl and Merl can die for all I care, they dont exist in the comic. Rick better lose his hand or ill be pissed, it's the single most important event in the comic that changes everything for him.

    ^hey whats your fave Seinfeld episode? It's definitely the greatest comedy to every grace television.
    1) the contest
    2) the betrayal
    3) the keys
    4) the trip pt 1
    5) the trip pt 2

    the merv griffen show episode was pretty great too

    ^^^
    thats a tough one
    The Merv Griffin Show never gets old. One of the classics from the post-Larry David era
    mmm id probably say
    1. The Opposite
    2. The Soup Nazi
    3. The Marine Biologist
    4. The Contest
    5. The Virgin

    although if you asked me in a weeks time it would probably be a different top 5 lol
    the last 2 seasons have more "slapstick" humour which is fun when watching a one off, however i prefer season 4-7 when watching a few in a row

    Its hard coz so many series can go pear shaped in later series. The 1st two series of Battlestar Gallactica were off the hook but after that it slid downhill. Best ever needs consistancy

    For me its probably a tie between
    Seinfeld
    Boardwalk Empire
    Mad Men
    Avatar: The Last Airbender
    Ghost in the Shell: SOC
    The Wire
    Breaking Bad
    Game of Thrones
    The Good Wife

    Honorable Mentions
    Justified
    The Sopranos
    The Simpsons
    South Park

    i based mine more off shows that have stood the test of time
    something like walking dead & game of thrones.....awesome shows but still new
    hard to call something best tv show ever when its only aired 2 seasons recently

    just my opinion tho

    im the same with music/film/art etc
    i think something has to be around awhile and still looked upon highly to be considered great
    not just what you are watching/listening to at the moment

    ^ Couldn't agree with u more

    If Boardwalk or Game of Thrones go 6+ seasons I could see them topping Sopranos for me.

    Mad Men season 6 starts April, that's also a top 5 all time for me.

    Oooh and I just got Afro Samurai in HD, I can't wait to watch it again!

    So I'm thinking of watching Dexter.

    For those who have seen it, what do you think of it? Should I watch it?

    It depends on how much of a critic you are. I consider myself a picky critic as I've studied film and Dexter can be pretty corny at times with its unnecessary side-plots and dialogue.

    Overall it's a decent show but I don't give it the praise I do Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad

    Like I said before, if Dexter was done by HBO it'd be soooo goooood. It would be deep and dark, playing on his "dark passenger" more.

    Watching through Dexter at the minute and up to season 5 very good show as well, most of the DVD stuff I've been watching I looked up because of this thread.
