Anyone else in love with this show as I am?

But anyway, to the point of my thread -- anyone know the name of the new opening song? It's pretty good.

While quite unrealistic, it is entertaining.

Heh, who cares if it's realistic? It's TV -- all I want is to be entertained.

Ah, thanks!

jensked · October 10th, 2007, 07:59 AM

I saw it once or twice. I stopped watching it due to our internet volume cap, but now I might watch it again.

Those two first episodes weren't THAT exciting, but i'm willing to give it a second chance.

Salanax · October 10th, 2007, 12:48 PM

I love it. Unfortunately over here in Australia we're only on the second season but all the same I think it's a good show. Been watching since S1E1.
As for realism, well TV isn't exactly the place to find it, probably why it's an entertainment show. But it's not so unrealistic it ruins the show unlike some other programs, just that middle ground where you can accept and watch and enjoy it.

I liked the first season, but it was always hard to come by the hr.hd or 720p versions... The hunt for those kinda stopped me from watching it. Also the personal crap they put in wasn't quite of my liking. Good action, tho...

gtrietsc · October 10th, 2007, 03:39 PM

Yea, I DVR that show. Its pretty good. I think it is funny how half the story will be about whatever bake sale or other crap the wives are doing while the guys are all blowing crap up - seems like it is made that way so your wife will watch the show with you.

jetsetter · October 11th, 2007, 01:55 AM

The reason I comment about the realism is because the show is supposed to be based on Eric Haney's book, Inside Delta Force. He is the show's producer and was once a Delta Force member. Some people have questioned his accounts described in the book.

Very good show!! The first episodes were great and the rest of the season will be great! I also could use an invite to HDBits!

The_Finn · November 10th, 2007, 05:55 PM

oh man viper... i feel so sad that i had missed this show. just finished season 1 waiting for season 2 to finish downloading and i have been keeping up with my season 3 downloads

Cobol74 · November 10th, 2007, 11:04 PM

I read Major Beckwith's book on the setting up Deltas - very interesting. Had stuff about the Iranian hostage rescue attempt and what actually went wrong.

EDIT/ I beg his pardon, Colonel Beckwith.

The_Finn · October 9th, 2008, 12:58 PM

So... who is watching the new season?

Greatgraddage · October 9th, 2008, 01:15 PM

Me. Downloaded both episodes. Good fun so far.

That new woman must be a baddie!

Solberg · October 9th, 2008, 02:43 PM

I watched the first two episodes of season one and couldn't continue watching anymore.

I was expecting much more from this show and it was a big let down.

Cosworth · October 9th, 2008, 02:53 PM

Is it back on again ???!!

Greatgraddage · October 9th, 2008, 03:11 PM

Yea, series 4 started a week and a half ago. 2 eps so far in the states.

gtrietsc · October 9th, 2008, 04:12 PM

The new season is pretty good so far!
