TV Show Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[y2hepp]

Just finished the first 2 episodes of Alcatraz and will be amazed if it lasts past a season.

I've been pretty hesitant about starting this show. I think I'll wait a little longer to see how people receive the rest of the season first.

Spoken to a few people who like me didn't think it would be the same kind of premise each week. I was expecting something completely different to what i have seen.

[trask]

All i knew coming into the first episode was the speech Sam Neil gives at the start. I was a little disappointed when i realized it was pretty much just another police procedural with a gimmick. I'll still watch though.

Ok question about Homeland for those who have been watching

Spoiler

In the end, what was the point of the story about the house at the airport? The original plan if I understand correctly was for a long range assassination yet Plan B which is formulated in a ridiculously short time involves shooting Gaines - who wouldn't have been at the helipad. Am I looking into it too much or did I miss something cause its bothering me that it just seemed to be forgotten about?

Spoiler

Finally!!!

I dunno man, that hole season went very weird. Was the Deb Love for Dexter done to sort of make her turn a blind eye to what she eventually see's? Is incest enough to stop you from hating a killer!!!

Interesting points Woody, I will say this. They aren't genetically related so it's actually not unheard of that these kinds of siblings can develop feelings other than brother/sister love. It was a different season but I quite enjoyed it. Debra's such a good cop she had to find out Dexters secret eventually. It's a brave thing for the writers to do but I think it's the right thing. Next season will be the tough one for them. They have to deal with Debs reaction etc appropriately and not sell out.

It's great that they did finally do it but like you said they can't sell out. They really need to have there A game on for season 7. Dexter is already on tender footing with me. It wouldnt take much for me to stop watching. I get so tired of hearing Dexter talk about his Dark Passenger. WE KNOW YOUR A PHSYCO KILLER ALREADY!!

If there's anything that could get me to stop watching Dexter it would be that incest storyline.

Have i mentioned how awesome Justified is?

Have i mentioned how awesome Justified is?

 

I watched the pilot episode a while back and I was expecting it to be really good.

It was OK just nothing that excited me enough to keep watching, maybe I will check out a few more episodes and see if it grows on me.


Anyone watching Spartacus Vengeance? That's next on my to watch list.

My recent viewing included watching the SBS show Housos and I have just started watching Wilfred (US).

[Trent]

Curse you people and you're Dexter talk! I haven't watched it yet because I think it will suck and I desperately want to click the spoliers. Am I right or is it worth giving a go? I loved everything from 1-4 but think 5 is the worst piece of Sh*t in TV history.

It gets so much better than the pilot. I rewatched season 1 last year and was surprised just how far the show had come. As it goes on they move away from the criminal of the week style and begin season long storylines. And Timothy Olyphant is just the Sh*t!

You have... but it can never be said enough.

I'll get to it right after I'm done rewatching the first 2 seasons. Apparently the new guy isn't as good as Spartacus but I guess that was to be expected. As long as there's just as much violence, profanity and sex I'll be happy

Am I right or is it worth giving a go? I loved everything from 1-4 but think 5 is the worst piece of Sh*t in TV history.

It's marginally better than season 5. It's still nowhere near as good as it was earlier on though. I'd say watch it if you're a fan but don't get your hopes too high.

Anyone been downloading All Star Dealers?

A Reality show by discovery channel revolving around a big Sports Memorabilia dealer in the USA in a similar layout to Miami Ink etc..
I thought the first episode was pretty good with them showing the process of getting a game worn Dan Marino & Ronnie Lott Jersey Authenticated and some of the cool Sh*t that was sitting in Dennis Rodman's storage facility was great.

[Notorious187]

Sounds interesting

Where you been getting it from, none of the usual torrent sites seem to have it?
