25 T.V. shows you have to watch from the begining

1. Downton Abbey

How many seasons you need to catch up on: Just three, folks, you can totally do this.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: The Dowager Countess of Grantham’s quips are worth the watch alone! That and experiencing Lady Mary’s scandalous fall from prized single lady, to disgraced and damaged goods will give you heart palpitations.

2.Mad Men

How many seasons you need to catch up on: Season 6 just wrapped and, boy, was it a doozy!

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Don Draper is a complicated man, and throughout each season he sprinkles details about his past, like breadcrumbs. In order to form a nearly complete picture of the broken man he’s become, you need to start from Season 1. Plus, he’s had so many affairs at this point that it would be difficult to keep up if you don’t have some background.

3.Homeland

How many seasons you need to catch up on: 2

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Because MANDY PATINKIN is awesome?! LOL. Just kidding, guys… except I’m totally serious. Also, if you start from the pilot you get to watch Sgt. Brody return home, and go through all of the is he or isn’t he a terrorist?! plot twists

 4.Lost

How many seasons: There are six in total.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Because of the mythology of Lost — things like the Smoke Monster, and The Hatch — it’s often hard to follow, even if you’ve been watching from the start. Besides, the ending that everyone complained about will be that much more powerful if you know about everything that came before. plus i gave up after two seasons…n when i made my return i was for sure LOST!! so starting all over again wasn’t fun.

5.Dexter

How many seasons you need to catch up on: It’s about to start the eighth and final season of the series! [Insert tears of despair here.]

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Dexter has had an enormous journey not just as a serial killer, but as a man struggling to find out if he can keep his life together while under the strain of this huge secret. (Hint: The secret is he kills people.) It’s definitely worth watching from the start to see his descent and eventual — I hope — redemption

6.Friday Night Lights

How many seasons: 5

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: This show is all about Coach Taylor — a football coach who just relocated to a small Texas town and is tasked with getting the Panthers to the state championships. That being said, you need to start from the top so you can understand his relationship with the town, the town’s relationship to football, and the impact of what happens to quarterback Jason Street in the pilot episode.

7.Justified

How many seasons you need to catch up on: 4

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Harlan, Kentucky is a place where family feuds run deep, and when Deputy Raylan Givens returns to town, he digs up all of those old grudges. (Including many of his own.) Watching from the pilot will help you follow how each family views the other, and see exactly why Raylan can’t simply bring justice the old fashioned way.

8.Game of Thrones

How many seasons you need to catch up on: Three so far, and hopefully one million more in the future.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Season 1 essentially sets up the cutting catalyst for why a group of four families — The Starks, Baratheons, Lannisters, and Targaryens — go to war. (Get it? Cutting catalyst? Because of Ned and his… Oh, never mind.)

Even if you’re a big fan of the book series, you need to watch Game of Thrones. That’s because the show doesn’t stick to the book at all times, it veers in very upsetting and unexpected directions. So, if for nothing else, you should watch these so you can bitterly lament how the writers have butchered George R. R. Martin’s work

9.Breaking Bad

How many seasons you need to catch up on: Five glorious seasons of Walter White, and we’re currently in the final season. (It’s not too late to catch up!)

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Walter wasn’t always a super duper meth dealer. In fact, once upon a time he was a great guy with a family to support, and not enough money to do that. Which is why you need to watch his downward spiral from chemistry teacher with a cancer diagnosis to drug lord — if for no other reason than because it’s fascinating and incredibly gripping

10.The Sopranos

How many seasons: There are six seasons of Tony Soprano awesomeness.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Being a mob boss isn’t easy, and no one proves that more than James Gandolfini and his award-winning performance as Tony Soprano. From the beginning, you watch as Tony builds enemies, alienates his family, and tries to deal with the stress of handling the mafia through intense therapy sessions. That all builds to one of the most talked about series finales of all time. It’s one of Gandolfini’s most iconic roles, and one that he will forever be remembered for

11.Six Feet Under

How many seasons: HBO dealt out five seasons of funerals.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: This isn’t just a show about death — even though it deals a lot with death — but it’s also an unbelievably well done family drama. It’s worth seeing the dynamic of brothers Nate and David evolve from stiff bickering to one of mutual understanding. You also watch the slow evolution of David as he goes from a closeted gay man to being in a loving relationship, as well as Nate’s fear of death and how it influences everything he does. Because of all that, the series finale is one of the most compelling you’ll ever see

12.Scandal

How many seasons you need to catch up on: 2! So easy!

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: OMG this show! Listen to me very carefully when I say this: If you’re not watching Scandal, then I don’t know what you’re doing with your life. Start from the beginning, so you can catch every steamy and scandalous moment of Olivia and Fitz’s romance. It’s important, because their lust influences a significant amount of Olivia’s decision making, and Fitz’s actions as president as well

13.The X-Files

How many seasons: 9, and a whole slew of films.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Mulder and Scully are perhaps one of the most underrated romances of TV history. It’s not a case of feeling lost, or confused, but this is a really fun show with wonderful recurring characters and symbolic images. Watching from the beginning helps you appreciate those later appearances, and feel like you’re part of Mulder and Scully’s supernatural hunting team. (Did I mention they’re adorable and cute together?) and yes it might have been ages ago, but it was still a pretty good series even then.

14.Arrested Development

How many seasons: 4.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: As Gob Bluth could likely tell you, not watching from the pilot would be a huge mistake. That’s because there are so many wonderful recurring jokes that you’d lose if you started in the middle. (I just blue myself. There’s always money in the banana stand. Never nudes. etc.)

15.Boardwalk Empire

How many seasons you need to catch up on: 3 seasons of life in the age of Prohibition.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Nucky Thompson has made a lot of friends, and even more enemies. But the real beauty of this show is how his relationship with certain characters radically evolves each season — his sordid relationship with Margaret, for example. To fully appreciate why so many people want to see this guy dead, you need to see the backstabbing he pulled right from the beginning.

16.The Good Wife

How many seasons you need to catch up on: 4

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: The Good Wife could easily pass for a procedural about a law firm solving cases that are stand-alone. However, because Alicia Florrick’s personal life is so complex, it’s best to start from the pilot. That way you get to watch her husband Peter Florrick’s epic political fall from grace, and see how his indiscretions cast a permanent shadow on his wife and children. It’s heartbreaking, but ultimately we get to experience Alicia’s return to triumph and strength. (You also won’t want to miss any of the guest stars.

17.The Vampire Diaries

How many seasons: 4, next season airs on oct.10.2013

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Starting from the beginning helps you appreciate the growth of each character and as you go along you develop love/hate relationships with the main cast and thrilling moments/scenes in every season, also it wouldn’t be as much fun if you didn’t start from the beginning.

18.True blood

How many seasons: 6

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: unlike the fairy tale version of vampires and werewolves (a la twilight) this show boasts gruesome sex scenes, fight scenes and drama…a must watch from beginning, in order to form a significant bond with the cast.

19.Supernatural

How many seasons: 8

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: so super!!!! Center around the journey of two brothers  on the road to discovering themselves and their futures a family bond is restored new relationships are made and lets not forget all the supernatural and mystical things they fight to save the world…. This show has two theme songs one at the beginning of every 1^st episode of the season and the  last episode of every  season matter of fact  they sure do love them some  AC/DC and KANSAS check them out here and here. You gotta love you some supernatural , it sure as “hell” (pun intended..) doesn’t get any better.

 

20.Once Upon A Time

How many seasons: 2

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: what can I say I love a good fairy tale story as much as the next guy/girl……☻….. and this fairy tale far out does them all, but in order to know what happens in said fairy tale…. We must start from the beginning…. (see how I did that there)☻!!

21. The Walking Dead

 

How many seasons: 3

Why it’s important to start from the beginning:A Sheriff (Andrew Lincoln) leads survivors in search of safety after the zombie apocalypse  now this saga keeps unfolding, and watching from the beginning helps you capitalize/weigh in on the story line.

22. How I Met Your Mother

How many seasons: 8

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: the plot is literally the shows name…therefore read between the lines.

23. 24

 

How many seasons: 8 in total, making it the longest-running espionage series in TV history.

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: Starting in the middle of this show wouldn’t leave you completely lost, but you would miss the significance of certain recurring characters and plot lines — like Mandy, and the fact that she’s one of the few villains to survive multiple seasons. If you want to do right by Jack Bauer — trust me, you do — then watch from the pilot.

24. Suits

 

How many seasons: 2

Why it’s important to start from the beginning:Mike Ross  is a brilliant college dropout. With his natural intelligence and eidetic memory, he makes a living taking the LSAT for others.Harvey spector is one of New York City’s top corporate lawyers and is promoted to senior partner at Pearson Hardman – a law firm that hires only Harvard Law School graduates. He is forced by company policy to hire an associate attorney and mike gets the job  and as the plot continues to unfold the firm experiences new developments…… the only way to get with it is to start from the beginning.

25. Prison Break

How many seasons: 4

Why it’s important to start from the beginning: and last but certainly not least…..i mean OMG i don’t know what to say this T.v. show was all the “craze ” back in the day i remember everybody used to talk about it n sure as hell it was AWESOME…with that being said whether you’ve watched it or not it is so much Re-Run worthy….. So Go For It!!!! and remember to always start from the BEGINNING ….it makes everything worthwhile

ttyl  my peeps, 

Enjoy♥♥♥!!!!

 

The 31st Century Love Story!

           

I phone charged check, I pad charged check, tablet charged check, android phone charged check, laptop with incredibly insane specs check, unlimited internet check, Inhaler check. It’s the year 2130 and am preparing for a date with my what you can say  my significant other of the different specie-Sophia. The mood was perfect, the music was jazzy or whatever genre of music that people will be listening to in this  generation. So that means no Justin Beiber. 🙂 I had worn my best pair of undies, pressed shirt and a clean pair of jeans that my mom had put out for me. Oh by the way, my name is Ignatius kriksus the third, named after the great ally of Spartacus, a fighter and warrior in the 2o something century.

Am 28 and live with my mother. Enough about me, today was a special day, i am claustrophobic and had not got to witness the outside atmosphere in quite some years now. Today was going to be different (asthma inhaler). Sophia was from the tribe of Zorah and we today were going to consummate our love. We have been chatting(through the internet of course..duuuh) for over 5 years and it is until recently that my weak heart finally decided to gather up my dwindling courage and inform her of my intentions.

                                        

We are going for a movie. And by that my not so learned friends of the 20 something century, i mean: Watching a movie online at the same host and speed.Wait (wait). Why are u people shocked? Are there people who meet face to face anyway these days? Shady. So as i was saying, an online movie on my laptop as we video chat on my tablet or whatever device will make me look good on camera. I recently discovered a ZIT on my face and my zit remover (a biological body scanner) seems to have malfunctioned.Cringe ! (:|. I have already instructed my fellow gaming buddies that tonight they ought to continue our online forums and games without me. Sob (Those suckers will just get us killed and get us a level back! Am the core of the team ,the leader of the troops.)

So aniway it was 20 hundred hours, t minus 8 minutes and 15 seconds 23 microseconds before the EVENT(drum rolls please). The popcorn were getting ready in the microwave, mother was preparing the sausages and the vending machine (Yes we have vending machines in the house! ) was fully stocked, i gots to be romantic in case the lady fancied a bite of chocolate.(please say that in a British accent). Movie time finally dawned and there she was, calling me on my tablet (her preferred device), my palms were all sweaty an my heart was in my customized leather Italian state of the art boots which had feet massagers. That was just a by the way. I was already sweating out my newly pressed shirt, i opted not to pick up as i was as nervous as an alcoholic intern working in a bible school. After a few minutes of breathing in and out, i called her and we started over. It was magical, the look in her eyes, her fairly long hair, her dorky specs, her braces. OOOh it was just orgasmic.

Was this the feeling Linus Torvalds felt while creating The LINUX systems? Yes you noobs (Google that), windows is not the only thing computerish that was invented! am tired of everyone only accrediting Steve jobs, Bill gates bla bla bla. Do u know  Dennis M. Ritchie? He was the co-creator of UNIX and father of the C programming language. Without the C language there wouldn’t be these games that  im a master of!

Anyway back to the fateful day, as we sat there in our different computers  watching the highly anticipated movie, we kept exchanging glances and i could tell it was love. Love that was unexplainable. The thing about our relationship, is that we had never met. Yes, for over 3 years of constant chatting, calling, emails and all other forms of technological communication we had never physically connected. We both had the same beliefs and views. Face to face interactions was overrated. As the movie came to an end, i could see her big blue lovely eyes tearing up. Oh shit, was i also to feel something from the movie? I gotta admit, i was so in love with Sophia but i don’t know how to be all mushy mushy. To retract my former statement, she was the one who gathered up her dwindling courage to ask me out. Am still scared as fuck as you could tell when i failed to pick her call. I think she saw that my smart- dumb ass self was not getting the picture even if she had to put it in a 1000 paged book on programming. Maybe I’ll have better luck finding it there.(chuckles). But on a serious note, if there was a manual on loving id be good. Hmmm.Note to self: Write a book..Title : Relationships for dummies. However, us people of fairly  way more than average IQ would be offended by the name dummies.

               

Maybe i create a game. We’ll see..”Kriksus, you know i love you,right?” am like is this a trick question? “Of course i know that Naevia.” (Naevia for all you mere immortals was the wife of kriksus who was enslaved but later saved by kriksus himself from bondage). She continues. ” Over the three years of our ‘relationship’, i realised how much im in love with you” Okay this sounded lovely but am assuming it wouldn’t end that way. Was she dumping me? Of course she was, she was the loveliest, prettiest girl i knew and hell, I’ll be damned if there was no competition. I mean am good but at a point, you just gotta admit that good doesn’t always win the girl. “Theres something i have  been holding on for a while and after a while clearing my mind and conscience, i have decided to come clean and  tell u that…..Am…….Am….(tears rolling down her perfectly curved cheeks.) There goes my tears, damn it, they couldn’t just stick up in my eyes for longer? As in really??? Here ive been showing her how much of a warrior i am then they just let me down like that?!. I knew that she was breaking up with me, i didn’t even want to hear more of what she was saying. I finally compose myself after a box of tissues and tell her to continue as i had interrupted her with my melodramatics. She clears her throat and finally lets it out..” Am infected!”

I was trembling, my heart was pacing, my knees were buckling. In general my body wanted to break out into a band. My heart on the drums, my fingers on the guitar and my knees well my knees just did whatever. I was helpless. Billions of thoughts were running through my mind. How did she get infected? Did she infect me? OOOh jeez what did this woman get me into?! So some of you are wondering what she meant by infected. Infected me with what?. Well, something i might have left out .

Readers, am sure many if not all of you are of the 20 something century. Right?. Yeah, well you know how your car can have an engine problem and the mechanics would log into the car’s computer system?  Yes In this century that now works on humans too. We can be programmed and reprogrammed, we are affected by viruses if our firewalls are down. Works just like  your white and red blood cells. We all have i.p addresses and i can view my vitals on any computer and see what i should be doing to remain healthy. I assume by now, you are all on board now and you understand what im talking about. So due to the fact that we are all computerized, we are prone to viruses and some viruses are so extreme that we have to be rebooted and cleaned. The effect of this is of course losing vital memory of a lot of things. For instance now, Sophia after a reboot, will forget me. Forget all the three years we’ve spent together, all the chats, all….SIGH(heartbreaking). What if she was not rebooted? What are the effects? Many of you might be asking that. Well, my dear readers, if this was the case, the virus will spread everywhere in the system and slowly and painfully KILL her. Just like a virus, it is transmittable and i might be facing the same repercussions..
