Re: TV Shows
The amazing race finale was too stupid to have actually happened. Whoever had the best cab driver won I guess. That was literally the only thing that mattered. I don't count "who can screw in a lightbulb fastest" as an actual challenge either. I've never seen that show and thought, "that was dumb". But this one...good god.

Re: TV Shows
Yeah, that was pretty underwhelming, especially for an All Stars season. The last season had several difficult tasks which could flip the order. This one was pretty lame.

Re: TV Shows
Finally watched Person of Interest finale earlier. It was very, very good.
I am concerned about the future direction of the show from here though.

Re: TV Shows
I'm annoyed that Spike decided to start shoving Tiffany Derry into all of Jon Taffer's shows. She annoyed me on her two seasons of Top Chef, and it's no better now. She at least plays a small enough role when she is on Bar Rescue since the kitchen usually is a smaller focus, unless it is ridiculously dirty... but the new show Hungry investors where she is front and center as one of the main people... Yeah, can't watch it.
I'm kind of saddened by what Kitchen Nightmares has become. I was a huge fan of the British version (which was far superior, IMO), but it has really gone down hill on the American version. It's at the point where they just look for the most stubborn or obnoxious people with the dirtiest kitchens so Ramsay can yell a lot. Most of the time, I don't really care if the people succeed because they are unlikable. The Amy's Baking Company episode from last season was interesting in that it was a total and complete train wreck and the lady is legitimately insane... but most of the episodes are just there at this point.
Every episode follows a similar pattern... Owners have no idea why their restaurant is failing and their food is a 11/10. Ramsay shows up and hates all the food and tells them it's crap. Owner fights back. Ramsay tells them they're delusional. Insert 20-30 additional minutes of kitchen inspection and owners fighting and in denial before they hit a magical turning point. The restaurant receives a complete makeover and new menu. Relaunch starts off sketchy, but ultimately is successful. Everyone hugs and Ramsay makes a comment about some ridiculous moment at the restaurant while walking off screen.

Re: TV Shows
yeah, I thought that was WAY too easy for a final leg. I guess the producers caught on to the fact that teams were taking notes about the legs and figured that a memory challenge was a waste of time.shmenguin wrote:The amazing race finale was too stupid to have actually happened.

Very underwhelming final challenge. I can't remember a time when there wasn't a memory challenge for that last leg. Flags, currencies, greetings...maybe they ran out of stuff for memory challenges.

Re: TV Shows
My wife and I said the same thing. Usually they have some crazy puzzle or have a challenge that pulls back all of your tasks from the race with a memory challenge.shmenguin wrote:The amazing race finale was too stupid to have actually happened.

But like you said, as long as you knew how to screw in a lightbulb and had a good cab driver, that is all that mattered.

Re: TV Shows
i wanted dave and connor to lose. their butthurt over being u-turned was insufferable. they got u-turned so that brendan/rachel could win the leg. and it worked. they won the leg. what's the issue?
highlight of the episode was dave telling david copperfield that he believed in magic like he was a 6 year old. i have no doubts that he was being sincere.

Re: TV Shows
The show is pretty awful now. He doesn't bring the funny, it's not even really a commentary on real life. It's just a bunch of non sequitur crap. Like the benefit with Seinfeld episode. Louie is such an every man. He didn't realize the Hamptons was swanky. Oh man he's so unprepared. But look a super hot chick and Louie is awkward again. Oh man he's such an every man. Oh no he punched her, what a weird happening. That Louie really has such a weird normal guy with interesting things happening life.canaan wrote:I'm torn on louie. I honestly can't tell if its tackling real life issues with an honest approach or just poorly constructed soapboxing.

Re: TV Shows
Finished off current seasons of Arrow this AM, and Castle yesterday.
Arrow:
Those last 90 seconds or so I guess set up the next layer of intrigue, and of rethinking everything we've learned so far in that new light.
Castle:

Loving "TURN" and "Sherlock" right now. Must-see TV for me.
Samuel Roukin, the actor who plays Simcoe on "TURN" is amazing. I love hating him.
Spoiler:
"Sherlock" is hilarious. Mrs. Hudson is a trip. I worry just a little bit that it could seek the shark and jump over it by becoming too campy. But right now, it's smart and great fun.

Re: TV Shows
That's funny. I noticed a Steeler mug on the desk at some point in the first season (in middle of S1E21 right now), and the hockey interest has been clear (Think the office has one of the famous Bobby Orr photos on the wall, though I couldn't tell you if that was S1 or S9 at this point - not seen S2-S8 yet), but I thought I had heard a Flyer reference at one point so I was a little confused.Lt.

blackjack, you're right--I remember his dad on TV. He was a nice, pleasant avuncular old dude. 6ABC gave him a farewell tribute on par with Mariano Rivera's when he retired.
Just saw this about "Sherlock":

Castle:Spoiler:
They were only announced as being re-upped earlier this month. I wonder if they filmed two endings just in case they had to string us along another year.
