Re: TV Shows
Finally watched the entirety of the TURN pilot last night. Aside from having to explain some of the historical basis to my wife, thought it was well done.

Re: TV Shows
I think someone mentioned it earlier, but The Blacklist is starting to come off the rails for me because the law enforcement agents are the worst I've ever seen. They'd give the Afghani National Police a run for their money when it comes to tactics. The plotlines are good enough but the procedural stuff is just awful. I'd rather they just not even have scenes where they need to do actual agent stuff if this is how it's going to be.

Keen is so horrible to the point of being distracting.
Spader is really becoming the only reason to watch the show.

Re: TV Shows
Yeah, I knew I read it recently, thanks. I 'skim' this thread because I timeshift everything, and there is one major series that I'm still 4 seasons behind on and really don't want it spoiled so I only read this thread once and even then it is a cursory glance.

Re: TV Shows
I say the same thing all the time about the Law and Order:SVU detectives. how many witnesses have gotten killed in their "protection"? how many people have been shot in their precinct house? just the worst cops ever.dodint wrote:I think someone mentioned it earlier, but The Blacklist is starting to come off the rails for me because the law enforcement agents are the worst I've ever seen.

Re: TV Shows
Speaking of SVU, change up in the staffing in the most recent ep (from April 8)
Is it enough to save the show? I doubt it. It seems like they have been playing out the string.

Re: TV Shows
The Borgias is pretty cool, but so far if there has been a problem, they just kill the person and that's it. Need a little more depth

Mad Men - Betty is crazy. Gum drops for a sandwich is a sweet trade!

Re: TV Shows
I love that the gum drops ruined the entire day for Betty. Also nice to see her smoking on the bus. I felt spirits lift collectively across the nation as Meghan sent Don packing. The look on Lou's face in the background when Don entered the board room was great, going to be fun seeing those 2 together. Great episode.

Spader is the only reason to watch The Blacklist for me.

Re: TV Shows
I loved that last scene in Mad Men - list of ridiculous demands, Don Draper says "Fine," roll credits with "If 6 Was 9" by Hendrix. I honestly thought Don would tell the board to go pound sand...

Re: TV Shows
felt the same way, great choice of song. It got me strangely excited for the next episode. I'm not sure what it is about this show, but I could honestly watch them do nothing until they are old and die.

Re: TV Shows
I read a different book about the spy ring but it seems they are dramatizing a lot of things. Are we done with Simcoe now? And John Andre's roll in this should be good along with eventually Benedict Arnold.relantel wrote:Finally watched the entirety of the TURN pilot last night.

I'm almost convinced that someone is going to kill her. All in all, I don't think we will see that much of her.shmenguin wrote:i was excited when i assumed last year's finale was her last episode. her return was a bummer.columbia wrote:The Don and Megan storyline is MM is going nowhere for me.

Re: TV Shows
Unless Betty is going to hook up with the farmer's daughter, I'm not sure of the point of that subplot.

Re: TV Shows
we already knew she didn't spend time with her kids and when she did she was quick to annoyance. So I have no idea.columbia wrote:Unless Betty is going to hook up with the farmer's daughter, I'm not sure of the point of that subplot.
