Halfway through the third season of Blackadder. Pretty good show.

Third Season is Best Season. Everyone is superb.

S2 and S4 are also quite good, but S4 swims in its own darkness just a little too much for me.

There is no S1. It does not exist. Do not attempt to convince me otherwise.

But S1 was great!

No.

S2~4 are all about clever dialog and irony. S1 is about how much Rowan Atkinson can pull his face into interesting shapes.

Is Justified worth watching?

Yes.

If you don't like the pilot episode, you can safely wave off the rest of the show. I've only seen through Season 2, liked most all of it. The only time it falters is when it gets into relationship crap with Rayland and his would-be love interests. Just stick to crime. There's plenty of it there.

Season 2 of Downton Abbey got too real. :'(

I just have the Christmas special left to watch. Then I'll move on to s3 on PBS.

It's getting cancelled?

The ratings have been cannibalized thanks to airing against New Girl and Go On in the same timeslot, and no good lead-in.

Oh, I'm not worried. Knowing what happens in the Xmas special doesn't bother me.

My wife actually had it spoiled for her on MSNBC. There was a headline on the side of the article she was reading linking to it that gave it away. She was pissed.

I knew something would happen due to the contract negotiation battle over S4, but I had hoped the show would simply replace the actor

Not a spoiler but ill tag:

To make matters worse there were rumors the character would be in the first ep of S4, so I was hopeful...and then it happened

Watched the first 2 seasons of Portlandia on Netflix. After two episodes I thought it was brilliant. But after two more episodes I kinda realized it had shown all its tricks. Good sketch show. Just not quite as great as I kinda hoped it was after the great premise.

Season 3 is starting out a little better, check it out. Also, the Brunch Special is a fantastic episode of TV. Like, the full one.

Finished up Season 2 of the Walking Dead finally.

It's good. I mean it picks up after a terminally slow first half where nothing seems to happen. The second half of the season is the best stretch of the run so far.

It's a good television program. Even with its flaws which are many. I've never read the comics so I don't know its merits and its weak points but I think some things that may work in a comic don't quite work when adapted to live action. I often feel the same way about Stephen King novels. That being said, I still enjoy the show.

chronovore · « **Reply #6520 on:** January 17, 2013, 07:28:46 AM »

Finished s1 of Supernatural, finally.

It was good. First the vampire stuff was good, and then the season finale with "The Colt" was exciting and nicely paced. Also liked the role reversal going between Dean and Sam, once they finally get a chance to meet their Dad.

Got the first four eps of s2 on standby.

Finished season 1 of Homeland. The show is really not doing anything for me. The whole storyline is pretty contrived. Carrie is extremely unsympathetic and makes terrible decision after terrible decision.

Watched 6 episodes of Justified and I was expecting something a little harder edged.

It just seems really pleasant and inoffensive. It's still watchable enough and it has enough sexy women with southern accents to get me going. But seeing as it's just started it's 4th season do things ramp up a bit?

Season 2 of Supernatural starts stronger than just about any episodes from season 1. The stuff they did with Sam and Dean, the way the writers handled the father, it was good -- not groundbreaking, and a little nonsensical -- but somehow better than the sum of the parts.

I have a hard time believing the actions of the father, though he is clearly looking back at some of his decisions with regret. Even so, his choice felt clumsily conveyed. Also, this sudden thing with "demons" being like Matrix Agents, where they can easily and suddenly possess anyone they want, feels like a poorly considered decision in the universe construction, and I am worried that there will be all kinds of unaddressed issues, on par with Star Trek's "Well, why don't they just use the teleported to beam the MacGuffin away" situations.

I'm hooked though; it did improve. Then when I went to get the next discs at the video store, they were GONE.

It's good up until season 5. Season 6 is total garbage, and Season 7 is half garbage. They redeem themselves with 8 though. I've watched way too much Supernatural :'(
