TV Shows Thread

If anyone wants to hook me up with their HBO Go info I'd check it out :)

falling skies looks really good next week.

I'm going to say it again, if you aren't watching The Newsroom, you're missing the most amazing thing on television.

I will get there eventually :nod:

Ok I'm hooked back on Falling Skies. Just caught up on the past 2 episodes and best so far this season.

Yep. And the ending of this week's has huge implications for next week.

I haven't watched this week's Falling Skies yet, but this show is getting very good. I just hope they stay on this track, and continue to move forward with the larger story arc.

I just hope, at some point, they detail the attack. I feel like that's missing, horribly. I think it's too late to do it now though, but I still want it.

i would think it'll become more clear once they reach charleston, if ever.

Caught up with the latest episode of Suits tonight. The last 5 or so minutes was some of the best TV I've seen all year, just in terms of how it was written/framed/shot/scored/etc. Great scene. I was a fan of the series early on, but wasn't sure it had the legs ... and then it just kept getting better and better and better. Now it might be my favorite show currently showing new episodes.

Good point, that would be a time they could do it.

Spoiler: show

They're definitely reaching Charleston. Some of the previews shown before the Season Premiere showed shots of them addressing a crowd in Charleston. And, possibly implied who would be playing the "President".

Falling Skies awesome once again this week.

This week was ... wow. I'm still twitching a little bit from that one scene (you'll know which one I mean).

Spoiler: show

I knew one of them was going to die though. :D :D :D

i missed it :(

I know exactly what you mean :)

One thing I will say about this show that is lacking is the character development and ability to connect with the characters. If what happened that Jeff knew about ;) happened in a show like The Walking Dead you would have felt it.

I'm finding it pretty boring, myself, but I'm invested so I'm continuing to watch. They still haven't wowed me and the show just feels very SAFE. Guess that's what you get from a show on TNT though.

I definitely was earlier on in this season. But the past couple of episodes with

Spoiler: show

the rebellion and Tom actually shooting that overlord have kept me going and getting back into it. Plus the fact that we are learning more about them has my interest. But I definitely agree, it's kind of what you would expect from a show on TNT. Exactly my point about not really caring that mechanic dude died. I was like, oh well. But when Dale or Shane even Otis on the Walking Dead went down you were like... oh shit, no way. Not sure if it's the writing, the acting or a combination of both but they definitely don't pull you into the show.

Everytime I get disinterested in Falling Skies, you guys praise it, so then I get interested, and then that excitement disappears :D Right now there are other shows I wanna get caught up on first. Maybe get on the wagon in a year or three.

I haven't gotten to see this show yet, but I will eventually on Netflix. Unfortunately according to a girl I follow from EW.com, The Killing has been axed by AMC.

Not really surprising. The way the first two seasons played out, which partly upset fans, from what I've heard online, and then what were they going to do for future seasons?

I don't get how fans were upset. I thought the show was GREAT. It was interesting watching the main characters deal with their own neuroses while attempting to solve a nearly unsolvable murder case of a girl. The acting in The Killing is TOP NOTCH. The only "fans" that complain about the show are comparing it to a so-so Danish show by the same name and similar premise.

I was perfectly fine with the end of the show and anyone that complained about it is a fuckin' dolt that needs EVERY LITTLE THING explained to them.

Even then, regardless, unless they were trying to become the next CSI or something, I don't see anyway it could have gone any further future seasons. Not unless they started getting just stupid as shit with the storyline.

Many argue LOST should have quit at the point The Killing has gotten the ax.

Oh, I have no issue with the show ending where they are going to be forced to end it. It ended logically, in my opinion.

I am watching "Game Of Throne" "Young Justice" and "Big Bang Theory" these days. All shows are damn good.

Is anyone seeing any fall TV that is looking good?

I'm interested in Vegas on CBS with Dennis Quaid and Michael Chikis. It's basically set up in the early days of Vegas when it was still mostly a desert. Quaid is the sheriff and Chiklis is probably a mob boss owning casinos getting in Quaid's way.

Revolution, the new J.J. Abrams series on NBC, the premise sounds interesting, but the promos they've been showing look TERRIBLE. Looks like Hunger Games more than a survivalist post-apocalyptic show.

I'll definitely give both pilots a chance, but I have a feeling I'll stick with Vegas, but not Revolution.

Revolution will fail regardless of how good it is. I love sci-fi but modern sci-fi tv gets 1-2 years and then get the plug pulled. Sci-fi is just not mainstream enough for tv networks to support.

It doesn't last long because they make it TOO mainstream, not that it's missing the mainstreamness of normal TV. There hasn't been a great Sci-fi show since the last season of Stargate Atlantis.

What the fuck, are you kidding me? They can't catch a damn break.

EDIT:

Spoiler: show

I knew that since I posted that before the last Act, that a twist was going to happen. I just didn't think it was going to be ... well ... that awesome.

Spoiler: show

I saw something in the season preview so, continue on if you don't mind a legit spoiler ...

Spoiler: show

Okay, it's not really much of a spoiler. But the preview implied that there was a big discussion about surrendering vs continuing to fight, and showed Tom Mason taking the podium to convince people to continue to fight. Or something like that. With only two episodes left this season, I figure that moment is basically going to be the end of the season.

For a non-spoiler theory, I'm really interested in the preview for next week ... looked like one of those "some major twist is coming" moments. The implication that the Army is not who we think they are.

(sigh)

Falling Skies just can't make up it's mind if it's going to be Lost, an actual science fiction show, or some boring ass character "drama".

:smh:

I haven't seen any of the episodes for season two, although I loved season 1. How does the second season compare to the first one?

Much more character driven, but I've enjoyed it much the same. I do agree that they're trying to throw too much into the recipe though.

Watched the pilot of the new Matthew Perry show on NBC, Go On. I liked it. Hopefully they have pro athlete cameos on every episode. Terrell Owens was good on there.

I also reccomend Sullivan & Son on TBS. It's produced by Vince Vaughn and is like a modern day Cheers. Watch all of the episodes so far last night and really liked it. That's two good new shows in a row for TBS.

I really wanted to see that. Completely forgot about it coming on

Spoiler: show

2013?!? NOOOOOO! what a cliffhanger for falling skies to leave off on!

If you're posting spoiler tags, you might want to post what show you're talking about outside of the spoiler tag.

Boss is back for Season 2. Not sure how many (if any) of you watch it on Starz but it's an EXCELLENT show.
