Nothing makes a TV nerd happier than knowing something she loves has been discovered and loved by someone new. And you sharing that love will hopefully get someone else new to give these wonderful shows a try!<br /><br />The first season of <i>The Wire</i> is fantastic, with an emotionally devastating climax, but it is the fourth season that stays with me the most. I still get emotional thinking about those kids, who will always seem "real" to me, no matter how many other things I see the young actors in. <br /><br />I'm also happy to hear that <i>Homeland</i> S2 goes down better if you binge-watch it, because I'm planning to go nuts when the Showtime free preview weekend comes 'round next month. Woot!<br /><br />Happy Holidays, all! I'm glad we've almost survived another apocalypse window, and have another year of TV obsessing to look forward to!Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-60607405120164149032012-12-22T08:56:15.802-05:002012-12-22T08:56:15.802-05:00POI : as you may know, I'm still behind everyb...POI : as you may know, I'm still behind everybody on this one. However, so far, what I've seen in season one makes me eager to watch more. And yes, you can't get wrong with M. Emerson. Big Fan of his since Lost.<br /><br />GofT : haven't read the books. Enjoying it.<br /><br />Fringe : sharing your feelings on this one. The top three cast members are doing a SPECTACULAR job. I will terribly miss them on the 19th of January.<br /><br />Awake : never seen it, but now, adding it to my list of new possibilities.<br /><br />Lost : I CAN'T be considered a born again LOL Just call me a late Lostian. Never too late, right ? I consider this one as THE best TV show produced EVER.<br /><br />MY personal best of 2012 : discovering this site. Long Life to this and all of you guys. Big fan of yours.

Nikita, Revenge, Teen Wolf, Downton Abbey, and Scandal to name a few, have become my favorites this year. <br /><br />Josie, I wanted to mention that your reviews were the reason that I went back and really tried to watch Fringe and Vampire Diaries a couple of years ago. So thank you so much for giving me the push I needed. Now I'm hooked on both.<br /><br />I want to wish everyone (writers and readers) at Billiedoux.com a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
