While I won’t be watching any of these, I hope to have a few marathons of my own. I’ve narrowed down the potential things I’d like to watch to:
– Nikita ep 2 – current
– Futurama V5 Blu-ray all 13 eps with and without commentary
– rewatch Shameless S1 (UK)
– rewatch V Season 1 on Blu-ray
– Mission: Impossible (I think I’m at season 4–usually watch a season every year at this time)
– The Mentalist S2/S3
Kyle, I am planning on watching the BBC version of Being Human and then the first three episodes of the Syfy version over the Christmas weekend. Then I’m looking at diving into Twin Peaks for New Year’s.
