Seriously. She looks fantastic every time she's on the show though.

Arrow Season 2 finale
Spoiler:
What a great 2-3 episodes! Slade Wilson was a great nemesis, but I think we'll be seeing him again.
On to season 3! And Arrow, too!

Third season of Lilyhammer is now on Netflix too.

Also, I know a few of us have read the King time travel novel 11/22/63 - it will be a limited run True Detective like series produced by J.J. Abrams on Hulu: http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/hu ... 201310792/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

After UTD King's credibility is shot to **** for TV adaptations until proven otherwise in my book. And UTD is Spielberg.

Just watched the Gotham finale. I've gotta say, I was skeptical about this show a few episodes in, but it has gotten really, really good. Every week watch for me

I never read the book, but I lost interest in the show pretty quickly.

Now, 11/22/63 will be a limited run series with an ending...not an open ended series per se, so it should stick pretty closely to the book...which was excellent, imo.

I agree, was a good book but...
Spoiler:
He painted himself in a corner with that ending and it didn't live up to the rest of the book. To me.

Also, if you've ever read Ken Grimwood's 'Replay' the premise is very similar, Ken even took on the Kennedy assassination in one plotline. Both books were great though.

we are too. probably 3 episodes into the new season at this point. if she doesn't win the next Emmy then there is no justice in LA-LA Land.
Spoiler:
I know she said the op on the Paki kid was a seduction I just didn't think it would be her seducing him. not sure why I didn't see that coming. REALLY hope she doesn't have his baby too. the last one is already one of the ugliest babies I've ever seen.

Hell's Kitchen used to be less scripted. I'm sure it was always scripted but they did a better job not showing it in the past.
