Good ep of Breaking Bad, but not amazing. Didn't like the magnet shit...come on

How about SMALL TOWN SECURITY SUNDAYS AFTER BREAKING BAD STAY TUNED FOR A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE WALKING DEAD DURING COMMERCIAL BREAK #14.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #5581 on:** July 16, 2012, 10:35:00 AM »

I'm thinking the shit with the magnet is the showrunners knowing exactly what the viewership want. And I'm ok with this. As long as the main arch isn't preposterous or unsatisfying. The initial testing of the giant magnet was absolutely hilarious.

I finished season 4 of Big Love last night...

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Albert gay sub plot has been absolutely pointless for the last two seasons and it peaked with this one. They were going nowhere so they just had to kill his lover wtf? And those fucking women keep making Bill's life worse and worse. Jesus Christ! If they'd just listen to him everything would be okay. But no, they always think they know better until they're running back to him asking him to clean up their mess. But yeah, I still want 3 wives. Barb is a fucking bitch though. I'd demote her to third wife. Oh and Margine is a tard. What the fuck is that bitch doing??

I still love this stupid show.

Holy shit True Blood!!!!

Enl · « **Reply #5584 on:** July 16, 2012, 07:05:39 PM »

Yeah True Blood has been much better so far this season than last. Still way too many characters but at least their stories are more tolerable this season and the romance has been heavily cut back.

Eric P · « **Reply #5585 on:** July 16, 2012, 07:26:30 PM »

Loved Black Dynamite but am curious if it wouldn't have been better as a 12 minute series like the other Adult Swim shows

Loved this season of Metalocalypse. I wish they didn't have this overreaching arc though because I think it's really kind of goofy.

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #5597 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.

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.

Himu · « **Reply #5621 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 #5623 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.

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"

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #5636 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

Himu · « **Reply #5637 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.
