Here in the Rockies...

Hey, all, Jeff Ryan here, and greetings from the Colorado Rockies. The mountains, that is, not the team. And I should acknowledge that I was born and raised in the Boston, Massachusetts area, and then lived in Chicago for 20+ years. (No, I won't tell you how old I am, either.)

Anyway, read Holmes when a lad, watched Season 1 on BBC America this fall, and have just watched Season 2, and Season 3, Episode 1, on Netflix. Longtime Freeman fan, and newly-minted Cumberbatch fan. And the "fan" is literally from the "fanatic." Haven't been this excited about a show since "Justified." Glad to be here.

Always hear of that area being so nice!  And great way to start…  welcome!

Re: Here in the Rockies...

Welcome to the forum.

Justified is good stuff to be a fan of. I have only seen the first two seasons on DVD but hope to catch up one day.

Re: Here in the Rockies...

Thank you all. Yes, the Rockies are an incredible place to live. Sort of like Middle Earth, without the bad parts. Schmiezi, Justified is pretty much all good. But you have seen Season 2, which is considered the best one, so count yourself lucky. Last Season, Season 5, was pretty damned awesome, though. Be interesting how they wrap it all up for Raylan and Boyd this year.

Read most of the Fargo thread last night - that, too, rated up there as some of the very best TV ever. Haven't read what's in store for the proposed Season 2. Don't see how they could top Season 1, but then I didn't see Season 1 coming, either.

Re: Here in the Rockies...

By the way, why does it keep saying "Wrong!" under my username?

Re: Here in the Rockies...

"Wrong" is your member title. It's the one everybody starts with and it will change after a few more posts.

Hmm. Seems a tad arbitrary, to say nothing of inaccurate.

Re: Here in the Rockies...

Will I then be assigned, without consultation or consent, another descriptor? Just curious.

That is basically how it works...

I once saw a documentary about Telluride, CO. Almost fell off the sofa, for the beauty.

Re: Here in the Rockies...

Really stunning. Lucky you!

About the ranking, you could have a look at the user list and see how it proceeds.

Re: Here in the Rockies...

What Harriet said, up there.  Have family on the west coast and love it, but heard so much about the 'middle' area!    Love the mountains.
And yeah, a lot of online forums personalize it by having your 'ranking' (which automatically changes the more you keep posting) be a forum-related descriptor.  Like she said, just take a look at the 'user list' to see all the titles!  I think it's funny we all start out 'Wrong!' according to Sherlock, and work our way up.
