kinuta Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Starting to do the same, watch Season 4 over gain. Tomorrow is the premier! Just watched S5E1, wow, that was the dog's bollocks. Call me Magneto ! Quote
jazzbo Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Well, I think you liked it more than I did, I had some reservations, but was fun to see the new season start. Quote
BruceH Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Loved the flashforward prologue, and all the stuff with Mike. And Ted is alive? WTF? Quote
Matthew Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Scrubs. Season five. Still my all time favorite tv show, I never get tired of watching it. Quote
kinuta Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 The Closer Only a few episodes left. Very lightweight treading water episode with poor attempts at humour that didn't work. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Small Town Security. Pretty low key "fake reality" comedy. Some funny bits. Quote
kinuta Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 The 2nd & 3rd episodes of the new Wallander BBC series. The Dogs Of Riga & Before The Frost. I thought they were both well done and it was nice to see him actually smile at the end of Before The Frost. Not as good as the original ,Johanna Sällström and Krister Henriksson are unmatchable.

jlhoots Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Last night's "Longmire." 2 episodes to go. I believe it has been renewed. Quote
Shawn Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Just finished Damages season 4. Really liked this season, fewer episodes slimmed down the plotline a bit but it maintained the punch. Goodman and Dylan Baker were both excellent. It also has my favorite final scene of the series so far, I practically jumped out of my seat and cheered! Season 5 is currently on air, glad this series is continuing. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 I'm glad as well. Wish they would put these out on Blu-ray as well as DVD, but if wishes were horses the streets would be covered in dung. Just finished watching Sunday's "Breaking Bad." Better than the season opening episode for me. I'm interested to see where this goes from here. . . . Quote
Shawn Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Entertaining "Syfy" series, kind of like Xmen with the "superhero trappings" removed. The always excellent David Strathairn makes a compelling leader, Ryan Cartwright (Bones) steals every scene he's in. The pilot episode was a little too laid back, but the series gains momentum quickly. Lots of cool genre actors show up in guest spots including Summer Glau (Firefly), Brent Spiner (TNG) and Rebecca Mader (Lost/Fringe). Quote
kinuta Posted August 1, 2012 Report Posted August 1, 2012 Rewatched season 4 of Breaking Bad. Then I went through the commentaries on the last three episodes. Me too, it must be catching. Thought I'd watch a couple of episodes but ended up watching it all in two sittings. Quote

Somehow I managed to miss the last two episodes of the first season, but I'm muddling through the new one somehow. Rewatched season 4 of Breaking Bad. Then I went through the commentaries on the last three episodes. Me too, it must be catching. Thought I'd watch a couple of episodes but ended up watching it all in two sittings. Season 4 was fantastic! They could have ended it there. Somehow I'm not as keen on this season. . . Walter is an ever-increasing asshole and it's not quite as good for me. Quote
Shawn Posted August 1, 2012 Report Posted August 1, 2012 Just started watching Season One. Like the tone so far, kind of a "light" supernatural show (no monsters or vampires) with a refreshingly wry sense of humor. Quote
Matthew Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 The Two Escobars. The best of the 30 for 30 ESPN documentary series. Tells the story of Pablo Escobar, the Drug Lord, Andres Escobar, the Columbian soccer player, and how the drug money caused tragedy and death in its relationship with Columbian soccer. Powerful film, with a very interesting cast of characters, and acutely depressing, but very moving also. Quote
thedwork Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) still feel the same about Sorkin's The Newsroom now as when it started 'bout a month or two back: not his best but still worth watching. it's worth it because within each hour-long episode there's at least one or two scenes which are better than most everything else on television at that moment. last week's episode was no exception. there were two scenes (both somewhat longish...) which i thought were exceptional. here's one below. don't give up in the first couple minutes - it builds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCV4RdqnzKQ will post the next scene as soon as it finishes uploading...

thedwork Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) well this is interesting: the 2nd scene i wanted to post here is "blocked worldwide" on youtube. its being blocked in and of itself is not surprising. it's an HBO program after all and they own it and etc etc etc... but the previous scene i uploaded above is from the same episode and was not detected. both were uploaded as "unlisted" videos. here are the two reasons supplied by youtube for the blocked status: "Olivia Munn Shares Her Paparazzi Face-Olivia Munn Shares Her Paparazzi Face", audiovisual content administered by: Associated Press (AP) "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", audiovisual content administered by: NBC Universal there's audio auto-detection software on youtube that blocks music content from being uploaded (sometimes only in certain parts of the globe), but there's no music content in this scene that would cause that to click in. no idea what the Jimmy Fallon connection would be, but "Olivia Munn Shares Her Paparazzi Face", audiovisual content administered by: Associated Press (AP)" is interesting. maybe Munn's face is video auto-detected right now 'cuz she's doing so well? the scene i tried to upload was all about her character and she's terrific in the scene. so is Sam Waterston. oh well. hope i don't get penalized too harshly... * Edit! weird goings on. i deleted the "worldwide blocked" vid (double meltdown). then 3-4 hours later, after it was deleted, i got this email from youtube: Dear thedwork65, Your video "Double Meltdown", may have content that is owned or licensed by Associated Press (AP), but it’s still available on YouTube!

Shawn Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Damages - Season 5. This latest (and final) season is INTENSE! It's already far darker than last season. I have a feeling it's going to be memorable. Edited August 6, 2012 by Shawn Quote
jazzbo Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 Cool. I'll look forward to it on disc. Watched the first season of AMC's "Hell on Wheels." Not bad. Quote
BruceH Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 Really digging season 5 of Breaking Bad. Quote

I had trouble on Youtube with FOX when trying to upoad a foolish video containing 10 seconds tops of Futurama. I have not been able to post unlisted videos for 2 years, until last week!

kinuta Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) For anyone interested, Boss is back. I loved the first season and am looking forward to the 2nd one very much. Edited August 17, 2012 by kinuta Quote
jazzbo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 This week's "Suits." An okay show. I confess I just enjoy watching Gina Torres and Meghan Markle. Quote
