*grins* To-read-lists always tend to be longer than is healthy. Reading is faster than watching, though, usually.
Hmmm. I asked my sister about Walking Dead, comics vs TV. I could give you a broad-strokes, non-spoilery rundown, if you'd like? According to her, it IS different to the comics, there are several changes particularly to plots and a few of the characters. She thinks it is definitely, definitely worth it, though - citing cinematography (scale, particularly), makeup (thoroughly awesome, she apparently cannot stress that one enough), character-driven plots, a couple of additional characters that are totally awesome, some changes to existing character arcs that she thinks are worth it ... etc, etc. In short, from someone who has both read the comics and watched the show (and adores zombies), she would recommend both, though they ARE different.
Re: Old Who and Dresden Files - totally worth it, when you find the moment for them. *grins* And the newest Dresden BOOK is also completely awesome (if you mean Ghost Story, that is). Seriously. It's ... such a big step, character-wise, for both Harry and so many of the supporting cast. It's slow-moving. But it's HUGE.
We had so much stuff on VHS, and watched some much more (especially crappy reruns) on the 'poverty channels' (Ireland's 4 main channels, which were all we could afford for ages), to the extent that most of my viewing tastes are stuck somewhere between 1963 and 1990 -_-; But hey, it's alllll good. *grins*
I've only seen maybe two episodes of S4 Sanctuary. I've mostly been reading episode summaries to try and catch up to major events. Um. The season seems to be ... floundering, a bit? Or, a lot? *shrugs*
