@DaltonCraig007, "Then like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it."
The last five minutes of "The Locked Room" are by far one of my favorite moments of writing and acting I have ever seen. Each time I see it my mind is blown away by Rust and his nihilism. @Creasy47 is right; you're in for one hell of a ride. THIS is storytelling right here.
When you're done watching it the first time through, @DaltonCraig007, we can both point you to some brilliant articles that discuss some of the big themes of the show that will open your mind up to even more of what is going on beneath the surface. It's such a deep, deep show and every time you watch it you'll understand things more or notice something you hadn't previously. I love it.
We've also got a thread here to discuss the show as well:

Happy journeys, my friend! :)

I am going to start season 2 tonight!
I'm pleased that you loved it just as much as we did, @DaltonCraig007! I'll PM you soon with some articles. I have yet to see True Detective season 2, so this time you'll have the jump on me!
I have watched the first episode of Utopia, the cancelled BBC show. So far so good. It is weird, I must admit, but it left me intrigued. The plot revolves around vaccines and pharmaceutical substances, which is particularly interesting to me (my field, I study Higher Level Chemistry in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme). However it is not easy watching, there is a very drastic scene (a bait for seekers of such entertainment?), which, compared to the tortures in CR and SP, makes them look like children's play. I just hope that there are not so many plots left unconcluded in the end of the 2nd season, and that the script work is still as brilliant.
Shot mainly in Hope Cove, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Kingswear, Salcombe and other local places of interest. Worth watching for Ms Goose and some lovely scenery.
Indeed. Saw it yesterday. Great stuff, as usual with Pertwee. Also saw "Heaven Sent" on saturday evening. Great performance by Capaldi. And started to catch up on "Arrow" with "Nanda Parbat (couldn't see it during my vacations, had to buy it off iTunes). Likd it, although I shouted : "oh ! Felicity !" at one point (you know wihich one if you've seen the episode). Have to admit that she could have done worse, though.
@DaltonCraig007, that's the general reaction I've seen expressed for season 2. With a season like the first, it is hard to beat the magic it presented. The actors all played off each other beautifully, Louisiana was a striking, ominous presence like I've never seen before and all the themes packed into the show, from cultic lore to nihilistic philosophy was mind blowing; really, season 2 could only sag in quality. I'll still definitely check it out, though; thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Sometime tonight I'll send you some articles on True Detective's themes and some of Nic Pizzolatto's influences while writing the scripts. He's a fascinating guy. Searching his name on YouTube will net you some interesting interviews; he's quite sharp.
Episodes 2 & 3
The Walking Dead:
Series 5, Epidode 8: Start To Finish
Episodes 5 & 6
The 3rd Doctor is given (forced into) a brief vacation off Earth, by the timelords, in this, the penultimate, story of Pertwee's second series. It's not amazing, and it's not dire, it's.... ok.
3rd Doctor Story Ranking:
1. Inferno
2. Doctor Who And The Silurians
3. The Mind Of Evil
4. Terror Of The Autons
***5. Colony In Space***
6. Spearhead From Space
7. The Ambassadors Of Death
8. The Claws Of Axos
Looks like there will be a great deal of Netflix watching the next few weeks.
Episodes 3, 4 & 5
So much to mention. The Doctor creates a remote control for Bessie (long before Q would do the same for Bond's BMW), Jo nearly gets sacrificed, Sgt Benton gets knocked around, "Chap with the wings, 5 rounds rapid", the Master resurrects a deamon and most horrifying of all... Morris Dancers.

I re-watched all the Jon Pertwee Dr Who's about a year ago, they were all pretty damn good stories, and i had, very good memories of them from when i watched them initially as a young lad.
Wasn't it Jon Pertwee who always used to come up with that same techno-babble line, in many of his stories, when trying to stop a disaster happening, when fiddling with some contraption, he would say.
"Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" :))
@Thunderfinger, It gets even more interesting with every episode. Stick with it and you'll probably be pleasantly satisfied with its thrills. I'm in the middle of S3 and I'm hooked!.
The role of Carrie Mathison fits Claire Danes like a glove, just like Jack Bauer fit Kiefer Sutherland. Brilliant writing in both shows (I think many of the 24 creative team are working on Homeland)
Yep, that's Pertwee. :D I believe it was put in once for techo babble, but Pertwee liked the line, so it was worked into other stories.
Carrie is perhaps the best female protagonist I have ever seen leading a TV series. She is incredibly flawed but at the same time, incredibly devoted to protecting her country and those she loves. At times that makes her shine the brightest and at times she becomes her own worst enemy. She's great really, the kind of daughter Jack Bauer actually deserved, haha.
