Oh definitely!! I would've done the same! Jarvis' determination in the aftermath of that episode is one of the best things in the remaining length of the series.
I started with Captain America, Agent Carter S1 Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 1 etc.
Last Watched Ep. 1-7 of Shield, now Thor 2 is in order then back to Shield.
McCoy bumbles out of the gate in his first story. he's my favourite Doctor, and I like all 12 of his stories, but I can see why many fans are turned off by these early, leightweight, stories. I followed Time And The Rani with the Last Chance Saloon, documentary, which looks where Doctor Who was in 1986/7.
Doctor Who: Paradise Towers - Episode 1
With that tricky first story out of the way, things start to settle down.
Has it been cancelled or are negotiations on going? Yeah Peggy in last two seasons has moved forward, still alot of potential with the show.
Resumed Rebels season 2, second half now on Sky. Just watched the episode with Leia, I do enjoy this show it works to the point it does not undermine the films.
@bondjames I have Flash S1 on digital download, one of the best first seasons of any show.
Oh I envy you, I wish I could view that thing again "for the first time".
The pilot episode alone is better than most of the comic book big screen movies. I watched it 5 times!
And also one of the best seasons of any tv show I've seen.
Not that I want expectations to rise too high of course, as a big fan of The Flash I may be prejudiced.
Probably the best season 1 of any show ever!
So down to scheduling conflicts, that would be a shame. Though as the seasons are 10 episodes perhaps they will work round it?
I had seen that version before the US Netflix one came along. I really like the new one as well (one of my top 5 current tv series). It has a Fincher 'cold' look throughout, much larger scale, and Spacey & Wright are top notch.
If you like the UK House of Cards, then I also recommend Chancer, with a young Clive Owen. Great show as well.
On a side note, I always think Ian Richardson was knighted, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps "Sir Ian Richardson" just rolls off the tongue so easily.
The best scene still for me in the US remake is at the end of Season 2, episode 1, when he breaks the fourth wall for the first time in that episode and season to remind the audience that he has not forgotten us. Chilling.
I believe he was.
And apparently he wasn't - not according to Wikipedia, at least.
@bondjames - I think when it comes to breaking the fourth wall, Richardson's side-eyes were better (though Spacey manages to do it more casually), but Spacey's soliloquies were better. But they're definitely both Machiavellian versions of each other - one aristocratic British and one American from the Deep South. I wonder who would prevail if they set their sights on one another.
On a side note, in my opinion, The Final Cut is much weaker than the others. The ending just feels... rushed.
I also agree with your assessments of the actor's relative strengths. I too would have loved to see a political duel between them.
Also, I think he delivered the catchphrase "You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment" better than Spacey.
It's bittersweet; I'll miss this show a lot! Once season 3 started I found myself not quite as attached to Spartacus as in season 1 and Crixus turned into the real star (who was already a close second- Crixus is awesome)
Liam McIntyre looked the part but he sort of just growled and mumbled his lines... not quite as much personality and a little monotone. Of course I know why Andy Whitfield didn't return and Liam still does admirably, all things considered.
As a whole Spartacus was a great show! Now... what show should be next then?
