The last episode of Taken was on tv the other night. I wathced the first few episodes then missed a few and picked it up a few weeks ago. Ive got a grip on what the story was so it wasnt like i didnt understand or anything.

Anyway, i really enjoyed it. The story was pretty in depth, covering like 3 generations of familes and is based around the Roswell ufo crash. Had some really cool effects and a good sci-fi storyline.

Im tempted to buy the box set of this when it goes on sale as well. Id like to watch it again knowing how it all turned out. I think its one of those shows where you would pick up a lot more wathcing it more then once.

I bought the box set of Band of Brothers from Big W then past week. I watched part of the series when it was on TV a while back but missed some episodes so when Big W had the entire thing for sale for $30 i thought id grab it.

Been watching it here and there since then, and finally finished the alst episode yesterday. Its as good as i remembered and was good to see the parts i missed when it was on tv.

The box set comes with an extra dvd of special features and interviews with some of the actual guys that were depicted in the series. I havnt watch the extras yet but i think it should be really good. Throughout the series they had small interviews with some of the guys at the start of the episodes where they talked about the events.

I like stuff like that, really drives the point home that they are/were actual people. Its still hard to grasp some of of the stuff depicted in the show though and try to comprehend it actually happening.

Im glad i bought it, its something i could easily watch again.
