I think I might be the only Mad Men fan who likes Megan. Now Betty on the other hand...I get that Don still needs to interact with his kids, but I don't see any need to spend any significant amount of time on Betty.

This weeks Person of Interest was probably the best one in a long time. Very good story progression with good action as well.

Still one of my favorites on network TV.

Annoyed that Discovery feels the need to hype the events leading to the firing of Cody at the beginning of every episode of Dual Survival and after commercial breaks as well.

The show itself has continued to be interesting in its own right. Stop that crap already.

The show jumped the shark when they fired Dave Canterbury and hired that jagoff Joe Teti.

On another note, I just watched the season two finale of Vikings, it's a great series that really delivers...can't wait for season 3 next year.

Grey's...

They've been doing a really lousy job of spoiling themselves in promos, but I'll try not to repeat their mistake. They aired the season 3 finale (May 17, 2007) before this episode, mostly for refresher purposes I would guess. I was under impression tonight was the season finale. But alas, no, it's not. There's at least one more week of this mess. On to details in the spoiler if anyone cares.
Spoiler:
Yang is convinced to go to Zurich to make a speech, and encounters Preston Burke. Burke wows her with his hospital's technology. Offers her a position there. Yang is conflicted about possibly working with Burke and turns it down.
payoff:
Spoiler:
Burke is married with children, and doesn't want to work with Yang. Wants to turn his hospital over to Yang. Yang flies back to Seattle. Meredith knows instantly that Yang is leaving. End ep.

The guy who lied about his survival experience? I enjoyed him on the show, but Joe is fine.

I really want to like Agents of SHIELD. I like the structure of shows like this in general and I've liked previous shows produced by Whedon. But serisouly, stop with the name dropping. Every other sentance has to do with Nick Fury said this or I'll let Romanoff you said that.

We get it.

Is it like Season 1-2, Season 3-4 or Season 5-6 shananigans?

One thing I like them doing is not having 24 actual hours. jumping forward a few hours here and there and having characters talk about what they did for the last 3 hours in a 30 second conversation is fine. Imagine if you eliminated half of the worthless dialogiue and sub plots of a 24 season, like elminate Kim completely from Season 2 and see how many hours you really have.

Yeah, I'm actually kinda looking forward to 24 since they're only doing 12 hours. Imagine all the stupid rehashed mole in CTU plots that could have been avoided.

Wild guess that the Jack-esque CIA agent will be Yvonne Strahovski's character.

If they were smart she would be topless for the duration of the season.

Not topless, but she will be soaking wet in her underwear on a episode of Louis this season. So at least that's something.

like Agent Walker?

I can't wait. Did anyone else see the preview Fox aired this weekend?

I think I'm going to watch during the intermissions and then once the game ends I'll be commercial free.

I'm wondering if they will even mention the fact that Chloe has a child somewhere, presumably being taken care of by Morris.

I've never seen a single episode of 24. We are thinking about binge watching the series since it's on the netflix and we are cutting the cable.
