I'm re-watching it now in anticipation of S2. Can't wait, although I have reservations

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #5641 on:** July 22, 2012, 05:19:46 PM »

Fuck Homeland, I was expecting one season, and due to the fact of ones own free time being a rare and precious mineral, I seriously raged at the ending.

It's great acting, but the actors need a decent storyline, and this fucking thing is going to run and run. It's a concept show, and while the concept is strong for a bit, it's obvious that this is going to be strung out to fuck. I bet the next season will have at least one 'action scene' per ep, because normal people can't concentrate on tv shows like this without a money-shot.

Just finished both seasons of The Killing (AMC), very underrated show with some really nice twists.

I thought the show started amazing, but then got too ridiculous as they introduced red herring after red herring. It left me quite disappointed

I want to see it, hope it comes to amazon instant at some point because the DVD prices are outrageous. Funny thing is the Danish version is still going. After a long delay they announced a third/final season is hitting Denmark in September.

Breaking Bad S5

Just watched the second episode, wow. I feel like that should have been the premier

Also I got almost a messianic, cult-like vibe from Walter throughout the entire episode. He seems more confident, arrogant, and dangerous than ever before.

I haven't bothered to watch the second season after the disappointing end to the first season. This certainly means I won't get around to it soon probably. I can't say I feel bad for them after that first season finale though. You can't dick around your audience like that. That's the lesson that showrunner should take from it.

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #5665 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:46:30 PM »

I just remembered the reason I still have AMC is because I have Directv and not Dish. For some reason, I assumed Dish was Directv because I forgot Dish's existence and assume all satellite services are Directv.

Loiue has been amazing this season. It's less of a comedy and more of a drama these days but still one of the best on tv.

I've never seen a showrunner lambasted by media and fans like Veena Sud was last year. It seemed deserved to an extend given how arrogant and oblivious she was.

I haven't watched s2 either, although I'll probably start it soon since I'm only watching a couple shows right now.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #5667 on:** July 28, 2012, 09:26:33 AM »

that episode of Louie was really on another tier from anything the show has offered in previous seasons, it's exciting that Louies evolving as a storyteller during the shows run. Parker Posey was a great casting choice as well.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #5668 on:** July 28, 2012, 10:20:51 AM »

burning through the episodes of Louie. Episode 3:

"Can I have one of these? ... Thanks" *eats strawberry*

"No."

"What...?"

"No you can't have one of my strawberries"

picked up a huge twilight zone companion for $5 last week so I've been going through that series. still some really good stuff, but, man, Rod Serling loved himself some heavy handed morality plays.

Up to 3rd season now.

Also wrapped the first season of The Twilight Zone. 36 episode seasons. Jesus it's going to take a while to get through that show.

Yes because Breaking Bad hasn't done similar shots before.

Amazing episode tonight. The first half of it felt like a heist flick

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #5679 on:** July 30, 2012, 01:22:34 AM »

I don't remember it doing it like that. Was mostly the editing.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #5680 on:** July 30, 2012, 01:26:23 AM »

The show has never had a problem with direction or even editing. A small group of critics who dismissed the show initially have now hopped on board late and started praising the show for stuff it was doing from nearly the beginning.

Breaking Bad has been one of the most cinematic, best directed shows on television for awhile now

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #5681 on:** July 30, 2012, 01:33:40 AM »

Didn't say there was ever a problem with editing or direction. Season 4 is great in that area. But 5 is stepping it up even further.

I remember seeing the poster of Don standing in an empty room with just a phone on the floor, so I kind of new something was going to happen. But still, the episode surprised me.

I hope the rest of the cast doesn't just disappear now, though. Kenny is my nicca

The things I would do to that man.

My husband and I don't have a "hot celebs we could bang if we ever encountered" pact, because it never made much sense. My pick (Duchovny) looks kinda like my husband, and the only female celeb he's ever really been attracted to was Portman (no fistful) and then he met me. Not worth the hassle.

But Louie CK.... I dunno we might have to have that convo. Louie might be his pick too.

Louie was fantastic. I'm related to a kid like Never and yes they are hopeless cause of their parents.

I knew a kid like that too. He at asthma and his parents wouldn't let him do anything but play PC games and watch movies. And he couldn't eat anything outside of tofu and some other shit. Of course he was a spoiled pos and acted like a king because his family treated him like one.

He tried spitting on my cat, right in front of my mom. She grabbed his shirt and shook her finger in his face. Naturally he told his mom that my mom slapped him around, punched him in the belly, anally probed him, stabbed him with a rusty knife - he basically threw the kitchen sink at her lmao. His mom got into a near catfight with mine, but multiple neighbors saw the entire thing and came to my mom's defense.

(when my dad heard about it later he shook his head and said "typical angry black woman..." My mom didn't take it as a joke, and my dad wound up sleeping in the basement that night

)
