:(

I haven't watched it yet. Now I don't know if I even want to. Yet another TV show where it's like, "What's the point?"

It seems completely obvious to me that it's disliked enough to where it won't last long so, even if it does start to get good, it's not gonna last long enough to do anything with it.

Couple of things. I thought the 1st half of the show was bad, didn't really tell us anything except that Ben is turning into an alien which we already knew. Did care for the fact that they but Weaver on drugs, Everything has been real smooth so far with keeping the units together and now he's going all kamikaze :dunno:

The 2nd part was little better, but didn't understand the Rick stuff, he's turning into an alien, wants to be one yada yada. But he goes running to find one and there just happens to be that girl right by the school, but they don't attack??? Then when the skitters don't want him he suddenly has emotions and misses his dad????

The whole jamming of the frequency made sense to break communications, but it makes the mecs run and hide, didn't understand this either.

The ending I didn't like either, Tom just says whatever and goes with the aliens?

Probably my biggest gripe is that it's not coming back until Summer of 2012, that's a long break to continue to have buzz about a show

I actually enjoyed the internal struggle that they were having. Weaver was always on drugs (you see several times him taking pills out of a bottle) just, now, we know what he was taking and how serious his addiction was, but it was the groundwork for the possible insecurities that anyone outside of military training (like the guy that followed Weaver's orders no matter what) would have with the situation. Lord knows, if the leader of one of the last surviving groups from the attack on Boston was on drugs like that, I would be questioning his judgment as well. Did it seem a bit out of place? Yeah, a little bit, but it set the groundwork for Tom to be more of a leader and less of a follower, which is good considering he's the main character of the show, so far.

But he goes running to find one and there just happens to be that girl right by the school, but they don't attack??? Then when the skitters don't want him he suddenly has emotions and misses his dad????

My feel was that, just like the woman in downtown Boston that they ran into in episode 8, the skitters were using him as an information source. A spy basically. The reason why he broke down was, again, in my opinion, because he thought he wanted to be a part of the skitter collective because part of being harnessed is some weird injection of a dopamine-like drug that alters their state of mind (being harnessed is almost like being addicted to a drug). Once he realized that they just used him for knowledge, he realized that the humans were treating him much better and therefore he realized what his father did for him and how much he missed him because of that. The drugging effect of the harness together with the skitters treating the children like their own children leads to them considering the skitter caretaker as their parent instead of their real human part.

Or, at least, that's my tangent on what's been actually explained/shown.


The whole jamming of the frequency made sense to break communications, but it makes the mecs run and hide, didn't understand this either.

The mecs are piloted by the skitters, who, like Ben and Rick, can hear the transmission and it hurts. Probably hurts them even more considering it's how they communicate with one another.


The ending I didn't like either, Tom just says whatever and goes with the aliens?

Yeah, it was kinda meh, but it intrigues me. Now I'm very curious where they are going with the show. Hopefully we get much more information about the aliens and a possible idea of what the hell they are building that structure for (besides an obvious landing area for their ships).


Probably my biggest gripe is that it's not coming back until Summer of 2012, that's a long break to continue to have buzz about a show

Yeah, that's definitely my main issue with the show so far. This big of a break, it totally kills any momentum that they could have possibly had. Makes me think even that much more that it won't last past another season. Any interest that it built up will be lost by the time Summer 2012 rolls around.

If I remember to catch it when Summer 2012 rolls around, I'll probably still watch it though. No point in stopping now, not when it's intriguing enough to have me writing this much about it. :D

TNT and USA have been decently successful with having shows take breaks between one summer and the next, especially after the first season. So I'm not too worried about that. The finale was satisfactory, to me. Enough questions answered while also having enough stay open.

I liked the struggle too, the drugs just seemed out of place. I understand why he was pushing Tom away as he knew Tom would resist. But as in the theme of the show, the drugs were a big issue and then gone.

See I don't know. From everything that it's leading us to is that the harnessed kids turn into Skitters and Rick and Ben are still going through that process and Rick is further along(since he's climbing on walls and talking like he's one of the Skitters and he's shown no emotion) It just seemed out of place for him to almost "stop" the transformation and start having emotions.

Also he was climbing on a freaking wall and everyone kind of forgot about that :dunno:


The mecs are piloted by the skitters, who, like Ben and Rick, can hear the transmission and it hurts. Probably hurts them even more considering it's how they communicate with one another.

Yeah I understand this, but it actually drops Ben to his knees and really hurts him, the Mecs just casually turned around and retreated orderly. If it really bothered them I thought there would be more chaotic retreat


Yeah, it was kinda meh, but it intrigues me. Now I'm very curious where they are going with the show. Hopefully we get much more information about the aliens and a possible idea of what the hell they are building that structure for (besides an obvious landing area for their ships).

definitely think it could lead to some interesting developments, it was just so anti-climatic... he was just like "yeah sure, I'll go"

Even though the DSL was a non-working piece of shit last night, I was able to catch Take the Money and Run.

The second episode took place in Miami. The cops lost and never stood a chance.

The husband and wife jumped in the car, made a single phone call to their daughter, telling her to call a family friend who lives on Miami Beach and get the okay to bring the briefcase there. Then when they did get the okay, they stopped and parked the car 6 blocks away and hauled ass on foot to the house to hide it. They then went on a tour of I-95 and 111th Street through Miami, stopping at a gas station and a sports drink store along the way.

The cops and interrogators never had a chance of finding the case. The daughter threw the cops off the trail of the friend's house by telling the cops that her mom hated the beach, was afraid of it, etc, as well as telling them that her mom called just to say that she loves her and take care of the house and whatnot. That was the one and only phone call the couple made, so the cops had nothing as far as visiting or checking out people.

And the couple had their story entirely straight while driving, as well they weren't about to break down like the brothers did in the first episode, since the money was all going towards college in the future for their daughters. So the cops for the most part were focusing on 111th Street where they got off of I-95, rather than Miami Beach.

And because the couple were not about to break down anytime soon, the interrogators weren't able to get anything out of them. The husband even turned down a full steak dinner with the fixings when the male interrogator came in to "share dinner" with the guy. They were not about to give in before the 48 hours ran out.

Not sure if anyone has actually watched this show yet since it's a British show on the BBC, but it's called Luther, starring Idris Elba (Stringer Bell from The Wire) and it's fuckin' fantastic. For those of you that have Netflix, it's available on their instant streaming service and it's definitely worth the watch as it's some of the best cop drama television I've ever seen and Elba is at his all time best.

So James Spader is the new boss on The Office... :fp: it may have another season after this upcoming one but I can't imagine it will continue after that. IMO they should have had one of the existing characters take over and create a new dynamic there, then bring in fresh blood to replace that character's position.

I think a show on the other situation would be really interesting as well. The horrible air to breathe, the child limit, and the lack of real food it seems would make for a pretty law less land. I'm happy with Terra Nova as it is so far though. The way this is playing out back in the Cretaceous period is pretty cool though, with all the technology they brought with them to that time period. The characters all seem pretty interesting to follow as well, except for the two daughters so far haha.

For those who have Showtime, there is a show debuting tonight called Dave's Old Porn with comedian Dave Attell. It's like Mystery Science Theatre 3000, but with porn :D and this week his guests include Whitney Cummings and Ron Jeremy. I am watching this for sure :D this will be awesome.

Cool things about Terra Nova. You go to that site and select News 2149 and there are a bunch of news clippings for example. Evacuate or Starve: Ranchers in the Montana Dust Bowl have been notified to evacuate and seek work elsewhere. Relief workers and aide will no longer flow to the region after Congress decides to focus on other areas.

Adds A LOT of back story in the Shannon Family videos...like Jim being in Prison and the selection interview stuff.

EDIT: Also just read an interview and we will be going back to 2149 in a episode, because people from the future and the colonist are fighting over Terra Nova.

I definitely plan on catching up on this over the weekend:

From EW:

Don’t look now, but FX’s American Horror Story is growing into a hit.

Ryan Murphy’s latest (and last week’s Entertainment Weekly cover story) rose in the ratings for the second time in row. AHS went up 15 percent to 3 million viewers — after going up a slight 4 percent the week before. In the adult demo, the show did even better, hitting a series high 2.2 million viewers.

The fourth episode of the horror-drama admittedly had more than a fair amount of help from its lead-in, the basic cable premiere of Twilight. Still … climbing two weeks in a row for any serialized drama is a healthy sign.

You might be onto something. Tate was wearing the black leather suit when Violet went down into the basement to meet up with him. And he's always finding ways into the house, much like Addy is. I haven't been able to figure out who it could be, but you may be right there.

So did I. I thought the little girl, Addy, was exactly like the housekeeper, dead, but her spirit still hanging around, until the hit and run happened. And it definitely seemed like she died after that hit and run. Especially with the way the woman was acting, dragging her away from the paramedics and onto the yard.

How about at the very end this week, while they were searching for Violet, when Ben opened up the door and there was Hayden standing at the door?

Yeah the ending was crazy. What else was freaky was that Hayden called Vivien back. There must be something with the land that they house is on. Since the lady dragged Addy back and said we have to get her to the yard quickly.

The other thing they kind of glossed over was the ultra sound of the baby. What the heck was in there? Oh and the young maid is hot :up:

My other theory on Tate was that he's Dr. Charles baby. He told that story to Violet that the baby still hangs around and he turned into some freaky thing when he scared that chick looking for coke. But there has to be some relation to the neighbor lady as in the 2nd episode when he killed those intruders he said to her something about if you want him to keep treating me.

Yeah, when it showed that Hayden was calling Vivien, I was sitting there going "what? Hayden's dead." Then Hayden's standing at the door at the end. Definitely got to be something with the land. There's Hayden, the maid, the two *** guys who showed up pretending to be the designers or whatever they were called, all killed in the house or on the property, and all still roaming around.

Yeah, when that nurse suddenly passed out after seeing the ultra sound, there is definitely something with the baby. A theory, it could be whatever it is with the house or the land the house is on, causing the baby to be unnaturally ahead of where it should be in development. For only 8 weeks old, no way Vivien should have been feeling kicking from the baby. Between the supposed kicking from the baby that Vivien said she was feeling, and then the nurse suddenly passing out on the spot from seeing the ultra sound, there's got to be something abnormal about the baby's development.

I was just thinking about that right after I posted previously, that Tate might be Dr. Charles baby. They never said whether Dr. Charles was successful in his experiments, but Tate saying that the baby is still in that very basement, I started wondering if Tate might have been it as he's constantly showing up in the basement during the show. And I think there's definitely a relation there with Tate, but I'm not sure if it could be with the neighbor lady, or if it could be with the maid.

Mine's not too bad, I just dropped 2 1/2 men, it's god awful without Sheen. Kutcher's character is stupid how they portray him. And I think I'm finally giving up on Criminal Minds. It was good for a long time but is getting redundant and they are trying to throw in side drama with the characters.

Just not my type of TV and I find it incredibly silly. Modern Family is the same way. Neither of those shows seem interesting to me at all. Of course, I have a REAL hard time with shows that have laugh tracks. I don't need to be told when to laugh. If it's not funny, I'm not laughing. The only show that I can stand to watch that has a laugh track is The Big Bang Theory and that is because it is semi-intelligent humor.

If anyone gets CBS Sports Network, I HIGHLY recommend "A Game of Honor", the 2 1/2 hour special chronicling Army and Navy over this past season, from R Day at Army and I Day at Navy over the summer, Beast Barracks and Plebe Summer, various points and games throughout the season, events on the field, in the classrooms, at the academies, all ending with the Army-Navy game. It is an incredible documentary-style special and well worth the 2 1/2 hours. I recorded it on the DVR tonight and until Showtime releases this on DVD, it's never coming off the DVR. Only two more chances, at least in the near future, to watch it on CBS Sports Network, 4-6:30pm tomorrow (Monday) night, and 9:30am-12 noon on Saturday.

The birth scene was absolutely awesome and intense.

The finale was very interesting with the 3-year old boy killing the babysitter, and the finale was awesome. Not an oh shit moment like I thought was going to happen based on some people's posts.

Nonetheless amazing show. Can't wait to see who moves in next. I hope there are some more famous actors added like they had in the first season. I think with the rising ratings as the show went on, there is no doubt we'll see some good named actors come in season two.


Not sure what is next for me. I'm going to start Archer.

I read the other articles about the clue being in episode 11. While I didn’t see a specific frame insert, I noticed a lot of farm references. The baby room was painted with farm animals, the cribs were painted red and white, like a barn. Later, there was a wooden watermill on Violet’s desk. In another scene, when Vivien walks in the house in labor, there was a cowbell on the door behind her. When Ben tried to call 911, there was a bowl of eggs right by the phone. The mobile over the crib was composed of farm animals.
So my guess for next season’s theme is in a farm/rural area.

I'm enjoying the show, but basicially LOST + Paranormal Activity + Anaconda = The River. It'll be interesting to see how far they can go with it and if it will spawn knockoffs on other networks.

So do we have any Sons of Anarchy viewers here? I just finished season 2 and started season 3.

Where Jax's baby is kidnapped and Hale gets killed during the driveby at Halfsack's wake.

Holy shit this is a great show. I might like it more than The Walking Dead actually.

Yep great show JB, the wife and I are faithful followers of SOA. Never rode a motorcycle nor been in a gang of any kind but the writing in that show is very good. The one season where it's nothing but them looking for Jax's kid is a little slow though, other than that excellent and the latest season may well have been the best yet.

I shouldn't so it was horrible because I still watched it, but, just like with The Walking Dead, it seemed like the writers didn't know what direction they actually wanted to go with the series. I mean, to make this big deal about the kid's girlfriend getting through and all the stuff of him doing what he was doing to get her through only for her to die was just silly. You don't have two episodes revolving around that only to have the character not mean anything (and the kid to barely care after the initial episode that it happens in).

The writing was just really poor and the last episode was just silly with the dinosaur being sent into the future to kill people. WTF was that?

CMT Orders Animated Comedy From 'Blue Collar's' Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/2012/04/bounty_hunters_cast.jpg

The Viacom-owned cable network announced its first-ever animated project, Bounty Hunters, along with a fun-loving cop reality show Trinity 911 at its upfront at New York’s Museum of Arts & Design this morning.

The former hails from the popular Blue Collar comedy troupe, and will count Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy as voices as well as executive producers. The series, which also counts Lisa Lampanelli as a series regular, will feature the Blue Collar trio as they track down fugitives for their own two-bit bounty hunting business in each of the series' 13 half-hour episodes. Lampanelli will voice the part of as tough-as-nails bondwoman who assigns them cases.

Hunters, co-created by Glenn Clements, Ben Levin and Matt Burnett, is being produced by Muse Entertainment and Parallel Entertainment and is set to debut next year. Joel Rice, Michael Prupas andJesse Prupas of Muse Entertainment along with JP Williams andJennifer Novak of Parallel Entertainment and Jayson Dinsmore, Eliot Goldberg and Melanie Moreau of CMT will also serve as executive producers.

For its part, Trinity, a 10-episode unscripted series premiering later this year, will feature the real-life hilarity of a small town police force in Trinity Texas (population 2,656). The Endemol USA-produced project will capture the jovial cops as they do such things as taser each other or attempt a donut-free week mandated by their trainer. Endemol's Greg Johnston is on board as an EP, with Dinsmore and Goldberg joining him as the network.

“We’re in the midst of a bold, new era here at CMT with more record-setting series than ever before,” said Dinsmore, a former NBC reality executive who joined CMT as EVP programming and development a little over a year ago. He was joined by Cheer EPs Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, one-time Bachelor star Melissa Rycroft and husband Tye Strickland of Melissa & Tye and a performance by The Band Perry.

In his short tenure at the cable network, Dinsmore has launched the net’s two highest rated series ever with Bayou Billionaires and My Big Redneck Vacation, and has ambitious plans to launch several more shows this month. Among them: a second season of Texas Women (April 7), The Singing Bee (April 20), freshman efforts Ryan Seacrest-produced Melissa & Tye and Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country (both April 20). The network’s annual CMT Music Awards will air live from Nashville June 6.

I was kinda disappointed as well. However I don't think he was on the ship for 3 months. I'm assuming just maybe a week or so. Considering when he meet the girl he said he had already been on foot for a couple of weeks. I think most of that 3 months was traveling from Michigan back east.

I will say I thought the 1st hour was way better than the 2nd hour.

They have got to stop putting the one and only indispensable character in these "is he going to live" type of scenes. There's zero suspense when he weaves through a hail of gunfire, gets shot, or gets blown off a bridge. You know that he's alive/going to live, and the actors aren't good enough to portray the "touching" moments of believed loss and then relief that the show is trying to force down our throats. I want to know what's going to happen, because I think the bigger story is interesting, but the moral high ground stuff is really thick.

I've heard about this. Unfortunately I don't get HBO.

Yes. I watch most of the USA shows... the only ones I haven't watched are the ones they've just recently been putting out (Necessary Roughness, Suits, & whatever that cop show is).

Suits and Necessary Roughness are pretty good. I've only seen 1 episode of the cop show, so I don't really know much about it.

So Directv has a new series that they're about to start showing called Hit & Miss. It looks like it's about a hit-woman that has kids, sort of a Leon: The Professional type TV show. So I decided to look more into it...

Apparently, the main character is played by a chick, but she's actually a dude that became a transvestite but before he did that, he knocked up some woman so now he/she/it has a kid that he/she/it has to raise.

I'm undecided if I'll watch it or not.

Thanks! I will watch this soon. I've heard good things about it. They said the ratings were okay. About 2M viewers.

Watched my DVRed Sunday night shows last night.

Falling Skies continues to be what it has been, so I won't continue to beat a dead horse and bitch about a show that I get about 90% enjoyment and 10% frustration because I think that it could be much better.

The Newsroom was very good. Very interesting. I'm not sure if it will eventually be one of those shows that start out with a good premise, but turns into an hour long sermon about this or that. So far, so good, and I'll continue to watch throughout the first few sermons, because HBO has earned some benefit of the doubt with their original series.

Also getting caught up on the second season of Boardwalk Empire. Diggin' it, so far.

I'd be interested to hear what your complaints are. I have some of my own, but they are pretty minor outside of the fact that I don't think the creators of the show really know what they want to do with the aliens yet.

It's created by Aaron Sorkin. The guy who wrote A Few Good Men, The American President, The West Wing, The Social Network, and Moneyball. I can guarantee you this, it'll be good for, at the very least, 3 seasons and it's going to be the best damn television he's ever done because he's finally on a network that will let him go as far as he wants as well as the premise of the show is going to allow them to do so many wonderful things since it's set 2 years ago and using current events of that time as their basis for the show's news reporting which, btw, is BRILLIANT of them to do.

The second season just ruined that show for me. Not sure exactly where they are wanting to go with it.

A show I didn't think would stick with me, but has been getting better is TBS's Men At Work. Breckin Meyer has done a good job creating a pretty good comedy.

I watched the series premiere. No lie, show's really good. Series is now set to record. The cool thing about the show is that they use real news stories so they can potentially never run out of material.

Last season of Weeds started this week(at least it's supposed to be the last season). 1st episode wasn't bad. Hopefully it gets back to being good for a final go after 2 disappointing seasons.

After losing interest in Falling Skies, you guys are talking me back into it. I still have to watch the first season yet though.

Watched Anger Management the other night. It wasn't bad. Not earth shattering, but not terrible either. I'll probably stick with it.

Think I'm on the 2nd episode but I was interested in the build up of the show so set the series to record. Probably will watch them all tomorrow.


Watched Anger Management the other night. It wasn't bad. Not earth shattering, but not terrible either. I'll probably stick with it.I enjoyed it, it's not "2 and a half.." which I really liked but I did think the first episode was funny.

Really looking forward to the next Burn Notice. Caught the lastest episode last week on DVR. And of course Franklin & Bash.

During the NBA playoffs I watched an episode of Falling Skies, then watched the next one after but hadn't watched it previously or continued watching. Made me wish I would have started watching from when the series started.

Well, it's coming back for at least a second season. I was reading last night's rag, there was a small clip back in the entertainment section, Newsroom has been green lit for a second season, after only two episodes. They said despite mixed reviews, it had a healthy audience for it's premiere with over 2.1 million viewers.

Finally had a chance to check out the Pilot of Homeland for free On-Demand. Definitely going to pick that up on Blu-ray and check it out at some point.

I've been wanting to check out Homeland for a while. Damn not having HBO and Showtime. Miss out on all the good shows and have to hope they show up on Netflix or something or get a chance to preview them before putting the money down for the Blu-ray or DVD sets.
