I still found TWD to be decent but there's no question it has major problems and could be so much better. The second season was largely focused on ONE arc that was beyond stupid, and felt irrelevant

Anyone with half a brain could see the mid-season finale coming from a mile away. I heard TWD got a third season, I hope the budget's even smaller! $:-\$

Spartacus had a prequel last year, dude. When does Spartacus s3 start anyways? This Friday?

As much as I love the prequel, I want them to complete the story (even if i know what happens).

I'm looking forward to S2 obviously but I think (spoiler alert:)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

the lack of Batiatus is going to really hurt the season; he was the heart of the series imo. Also the weakest ep of the show was the pilot, where the focus was on large scale war instead of the ludus/gladiators. I'm kind of worried about a full season of rebellion/war, and how they'll balance that with the political intrigue that made the first season and prequel so interesting.

I doubt you know what happens -- the show hasn't followed history very well.

I've been watching the 8th season of The Office. You can tell they're definitely reaching for ideas now but most haven't hit the godawful territory yet. It's not great, but it's not terrible. They don't tend to rub Jim and Pam's relationship in your face anymore so at least they're off that.

Show starts with the disappearance of some inmates on Alcatraz. Forward 30+ years it skips to a girl detective with epic boobs chasing after a bad guy. Bad guy kills her partner by kicking him off a ledge, epic boobs girl gets involved, cue cliffhanger hilarity. Cuts to epic boob girl daydreaming in her boss' office, she was having a flashback. During a tourist trip to Alcatraz a young girl finds a dude sleeping on the floor in a staff only closed off section, guy gets kicked out. Guy is actually a prisoner from 30 years ago who hasn't aged. Prisoner goes off to do some killing (first the warden that tortured him then a planned crime "they" obviously told him to do.) Epic boob girl gets warden case, warden case gets handed over to secret FBI guy in the know about these ageless prisoners. The old cliche holds and FBI guy teams up with/scouted epic boob girl and lets her in on the secret. Prisoner gets captured, episode ends with him in a new jail. Oh and somewhere in between unmemorable scenes with useless Hurley from Lost being an expert on Alcatraz (who could easily be replaced by google) flapping his gums

Thats part one

part two you find out that the bad guy that killed her partner was actually her grandfather whom she never knew was a prisoner lalz. Bad guy is some generic rifleman sniper killer. also gets caught and put in special prison

I think the third episode is the best one though it has the weakest ending

it's not a bad ending, it's just not as strong as the other two.

Vertigo · « **Reply #4219 on:** January 18, 2012, 05:50:27 AM »

All three episodes of Black Mirror were great.

The first one is great simply for going back through the show and pausing to look at the comments on the twitter and Youtube pages.

The third episode was amazing the idea of such a gadget and what it would mean to relationships of all stripes was fascinating someone just picking over every detail of a conversation over and over again, a stolen glance or weird look.

The weirdest thing about USA shows and their midseason breaks is that there's literally no way to watch the first half of the season (excluding piracy). I've been spoiled by Netflix, Hulu, and Ondemand. If it's not on those, I'll just do something else. Like watch 10 minutes of the Archer pilot (pretty funny)! [tl;dr: fwp]

I watched the first couple episodes of the US one and it seemed alright although I know they had to wrap it up quickly once it got cancelled. I like the British version also of course but honestly behind the initial great premise I always thought the show was a little over-rated. But worth watching.

Apparently that last Driver game essentially steals some of the plot which kinda makes me want to play it.

On a side note I can't help but look at Viva Bianca and think she would have made a far better Cersei Lannister than Lena Headey, who has pretty much been the only disastrous casting in Game Of Thrones. She's a good actress, better than Bianca, but her take on the role is all wrong and I'm not sure if it's her style or the producers/writers decision, but she has the same sour face in every scene. She isn't the paranoid seductress seen in the novels, she's just some woman with a stink face. I'm so bummed
