Re: TV Shows
We kept hearing commercials for the Strain on the way home yesterday. Though every time they said 206 passengers, all I could do was think of Bones, on account of the number 206 being driven into my head so much.
(We will likely give it a chance, though we'll pick it up on a reair later this week. Last time we did this was with the Last Ship. Too much on Sunday nights right now - also Falling Skies and Unforgettable in our house. Good thing TNT/FX has later reairs)

Zeek dying?"One of the things I wanted to do for the season was to find one larger story that influences everybody on the show," he said. "The story is going to be introduced in the first episode and play throughout the season. It's a huge new challenge for the family and one that we didn't see before& In this case, I feel like I want to to do something that starts at the beginning of the season, by the way there will be as many story lines going on as usual, but this will be something that tracks us throughout the year."

Re: TV Shows
if they were smart, they would focus mainly on adam and crosby. I still watch, but it is getting increasingly difficult dealing with how annoying most of the other characters are.

they ended season 6 with a silent clock - Jack was just told by Heller to buzz off and stay away from his family.

Re: TV Shows
Giving Alpha Males on Amazon Prime a look. I'd say anything with Goodman in it should do well, but see the Movie thread for Monuments Men.

Re: TV Shows
I thought the "big twist" this week is that Jack actually was working for the Russians. Like he was working for them trying to stop the Cheng/guy with glass in his neck plan to start a war, that the Russian intelligence guy was a rogue agent.
I'd have LOVED the final shot to be of bodies falling out of the helicopter with Jack at the controls...

I don't think so. It's a great show for giving out high fives. I think it's an incredibly fun show to watch.

The bad guy always pays for what they do. So in that sense its always a win.Crankshaft wrote:24 sounds like a frustrating show to watch.
But no season ends with a everything tied in a nice bow. Especially 4 and 5 where they were setting up cliffhangers for the next year (those two were the highest rated and generally considered the best, with Season 5 winning a few Emmys - including best actor, best director, best drama).
Each season is typically set up into two sections. The first year was written so that if the show didn't get picked up that they could have a conclusion at the end of the 12th hour. But then a full season was ordered so the nature of the threat changed over the course of the day. I think they just sort of used that as a template for future years - each small story builds and rsolves over 3 or 4 episodes, then around the 12th hour the terror threat you've been following is resolved, and something worse is introduced.
The show went off the rails in the 6th year, the one after all the awards. By the end of the fourth episode a nuke went off in LA - theres nowhere to go from that. This is really the year they started rehashing old plot ideas. I think this was the first year where I didn't care what happened at all in the second half of the season. The first storyline was infinitely more enjoyable.
Season 7 was cancelled/delayed a full year due to the writers strike. When it finally came back a year later they moved the show to DC to try changing things up. It was ok - some parts better than others.
The 8th was the final year and it took place in NYC. Once Fox made the decision to end the show (about half way through production of the season) it took the restraints off the writers and allowed for 5 or 6 really good episodes to end the run.
