So, somehow Walking Dead keeps breaking records. And I can only wonder why? I managed to tune in for the 1st ep of s2 after getting through most of s1 (thanks to fastforward) and really? None of the characters even approach likeable anymore, and the writing was, IDEK. From what I saw of recaps, it didn't seem to improve much after that either.
Pan-Am made a sporadic return this week. And crash landed ratings wise so it's probably dead and gone. Which, I tuned in to watch on demand, and was highly confused....it seems like we got the season finale the last ep and this was an unaired ep back from pre-Nico being turned. 0_o. So I imagine that actual fans that normally watched tuned in, saw nico, assumed it was a rerun, and changed the channel. Which, I couldn't even bare to watch it all the way through since the ep was smack in the middle of all the story lines I loathed. Bye Bye mindless classic fluffy soapish show. It was nice to have known you.
I really liked this week's Once Upon a Time though. Didn't quite make up for my disappointment at no Good Wife for 2 weeks in a row courtesy of superbowl and grammys, but still.
Which reminds me, you'd think the networks would cue into the fact that half the issue with the poor ratings even for well performing shows is the fact that it's on one week, then off 3. And thanks to big events like superbowls, grammys, etc, we can't even count on a sweeps month to provide 4 weeks in a row of new content. It's beyond frustrating.
Let's see, I haven't watched the last 2 eps of SPN. I've seen the talk of a potential new season, and I think I may have lost my will to stick it out to say I saw all the seasons. It really isn't the same show any more. I'm bored of most of the story lines, and well, it's just time.
Fringe. Oh Fringe. I'd say that it's sad you're doing so poorly when I just found you, but wow, I'm sick of this season's plot lines already. STopping the marathoning now that I've caught up has helped somewhat, but really? Also, JJ, you make interesting tv, but someone needs to have an intervention with you about alternate realities and timelines. And seriously, if that's all that Alcatraz turns into, we may be through.
Emails with LD reminded me about Breakout Kings. Which returns March 4. \0/. She wants Leverage/Breakout Kings crossover. Me, I just keep wanting Breakout Kings/Justified crossover. If I could come up with the right plot bunny, I might be tempted myself. Fingers crossed that nothing about the show gets lightened up. I like the grit and the grey areas people. Keep them. Please.
Justified feels like it's suffering from post-excellent arc let down. I know last year's tightness and twists are hard to follow up, but something needs to get shaken in the writers room to get this season on track. Not sure exactly what. Frankly, I'm a little tired of Dickie. Why did we have to keep Dickie and kill Mags? Well, other than the fact that Mags probably would have been a little too thorough in her revenge if her entire clan was dead. But still, I find Dickie to be pretty much the least interesting of the Bennet clan. Coover could sometimes be more interesting. Ah well, at least we still get the occassional Loretta cameo. Though I continue to be disappointed that the entire "Art thinks he caught Raylan stealing stuff from evidence" story line seems to have been COMPLETELY droppped. That and the fact that we never seem Timmy. :( We need a Tim and Rachel only ep please.
Okay, should really finish getting ready for work now!
