I wrapped up SOA this week too.  It was pretty damn good, but it crawled a bit at first like this last season of Breaking Bad did.

I felt like <spoiler if you havent seen the whole season yet>  [spoiler]The cartel contacts exposing themselves as Feds and how they cock-blocked the Rico investigation seemed be a little too "deus ex machina" for me.  It's almost like they were really supposed to be gangsters the whole time and then they rewrote the final couple of scripts at the last minute.[/spoiler]

Started Dexter season 6 last night.  God, I really missed this show.  I was very pumped to see Edward James Olmos in it this season!

On SoA
[spoiler]The cartel being on the Fed payroll and blitzing the Rico was just shoehorned in at the last minute, it seems to me that this season is one of those 'transitional' ones where they're more interested in setting up the next season.  We now have to watch them deal with the Cartel an Rico problem along with Pope's father (who apparently is a huge gangland boss).  Not to mention the fact that Clay is not going to just sit there like a loyal puppy to whatever the hell it is that Jacks wants, then there's also the Opie situation. 

Also, (I forget the guys name now), but why make all the effort to get that guy Tigg didn't like (over a woman I believe) into the storyline when he wanted to transfer over to SAMCRO in season 3, only to forget about him all season except to blow him up with a landmine?

Honestly, this season didn't give me as much excitement as the last, my girlfriend and I literally yelled and punched the air when Opie took out Stahl.  That said, I absolutely love Potter.[/spoiler]

Dexter is shaping up great, and on Olmos, called it!

[spoiler]Ya it seamed that the last episode was more about setting up next season instead of making this one kick ass. They kinda tied up some of the stuff JT's letters. But other wise it's gona be all about next season...

And the Cartel being with the CIA pissed me off... That was bullshit. [/spoiler]

Wrapping up the last episode of the latest Dexter season tonight.  I really like this season so much more than the last one.  Tom Hank's kid did a phenomenal job.

I started watching Lilyhammer last night.  Ran through the first 2 episodes and so far, so good.  It's cool to see Netflix getting in on original programming.

I don't know which show to start first.

Fringe or Game of Thrones.

You will burn through game of thrones very fast.  I would start with that one.

Fringe is one of those I seem to let the entire season finish before I watch it.  Otherwise I start forgetting subplots and story arcs if I spread it out over 9 months.  lol.

yeah, all my friends are caught up on Game of Thrones right now, and there is only the one season.
Has anyone read the books?
