kinuta Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Prohibition Part 2. Really interesting. House (in nick) I wonder where they will go with this ? Fringe A poor episode, definitely a filler. Edited October 5, 2011 by kinuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Prohibition Part 3 An excellent and educational series with many points that still resonate today. Just substitute the 'dries' for the tea party crazies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm sort of intrigued by "American Horror Story". As I understand it, this pushes the envelope in many different ways. Maybe worth a look. Maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Premieres tonight on FX, as you no doubt know. I'm checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Prohibition Ken Burns Episode 1 Rather dry ( ) but an excellent history lesson. I enjoyed this a lot. As for Breaking Bad---what's the deal with Gus? Is he telepathic or just plain ultra-intelligent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelz777 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 What's the verdict on American Horror Story? Is it worth checking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I thought it was hilarious. Horror movie cliche after horror movie cliche strung together in some semblance of a plot. In about four more episodes they may have run out of using all these tired old ideas and come up with something new, who knows, it's possible! Entertaining in an amusing way for me. I think some of it is supposed to be shocking, and some of it may well offend or excite someone, but nothing new here. I got some laughs though! May watch the next episode.

kinuta Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Fringe - I gotta say I was pretty bored with last week's episode, I barely stayed awake through it. Yep, I think we all agree it was El Duffo. Part of the reason these crap episodes pop up is the inordinate length of US tv series, 22 episodes is far too many per season, the odds are that about a third will be rubbish. I much prefer the UK shorter running seasons, they seem more consistent and less prone to padding . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelz777 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 The season finale of Breaking Bad was a Wow! I particularly liked how they did that panning shot of Gus at Tio's nursing home just after I said to myself, "Whaaaat?!?!?!?". This very well could have been the final episode of the entire series leaving us with the questions of what happened in the aftermath. I'm left wondering what is going to fill the final season. I'm really not very interested in Jesse's story with the girlfriend and her son. I'm not sure if there's a full season's worth of material with Walt and resolving his family issues. I'm hoping the final season isn't a let down from what has been a stellar 4 seasons already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedR Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I had the same reaction as you Mike. Mine was "shit, I can't believe he survived that explosion!". Then the panning shot....gruesome! (Perfect episode title: "Face Off") The final shot of the lilies of the valley by Walt's pool, evidence that Walt poisoned Jesse's baby to blame it on Gus and regain Jesse as an ally, was a surprise to me. That could be developed next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Watched Rugby World Cup action, as the sport is rather hierarchised it's the usual suspects that qualified for the Quarters, uneven France showed their best side against England to have a date in a semi-final that will turn out to be an officious European championship against Wales who won against Ireland in what was a terrific match . On the other side of the bracket not sure that Australia was deserving of a win against the defending champs but at the end of the day they will meet the hosts the All Blacks who had a tougher time than the score indicates against a good defensive side in Argentina.

And then Hank will keep getting closer to discovering the truth about Walter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 FIREFLY - decided it was time to revisit this, one of my favorite shows. That WAS a good show! Regrettably, I didn't get into it on it's first run, but only after seeing the movie version, "Serenity." Better late than never, I guess.

jazzbo Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I watched every episode broadcast of Firefly with relish. The weird thing was they broadcast a few out of order, and I don't believe they broadcast them all! I have the set on Blu=Ray (after having it on DVD) and need to watch it again. Right now I'm watching Bored to Death, Season Two, it's finally out on DVD and Blu-Ray (I have the latter). I love this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, which is a good reason to get the DVD box set (either regular or Blu-Ray)---it has all the episodes in the correct order, including the three or four that weren't broadcast in its initial run. If they had renewed the show for a second season I think it may have found it's audience. Also: Re-watched the season finale of Breaking Bad on AMC last night.
