The Wire- Finished season 4. S3 feels better , but S4's still a lot of fun.

Watching Sons of Anarchy, just saw part of the first season.  It's a hell of a lot of fun so far. Katie Segal's character in particular is a lot of fun to watch in action- she is playing the mamma from hell once again, abet in an entirely different way than she did with Peggy Bundy.

Yeah, Sons of Anarchy is pretty good. I saw Tig @ the Convention Center in Boston. He is sweet.


So my Scandal blurb apparently should have been placed here.

I watched the first few episodes of Arrested Development season 4 at my brother's place last weekend. It was startlingly bad. What happened, Hurwitz?

I found the Lindsay/George Sr episodes very bad, the Buster/GOB episodes good, and the rest average/watchable. You can't skip to the good episodes with this season unfortunately.

It's nowhere near the old series (It's been too long anyway) and pretty much every new character is annoying. But it's at least an interesting experience in storytelling.

The Lindsay episode was like 50% goofy Indian caricatures. Really? I can't express any interest in watching the rest of it, don't have Netflix streaming anyway.

Sometimes you just can't go back.

To be fair (Spoilers)

The Indian caricatures come from Lindsay being, well, Lindsay, and the indian guru being, well, Maeby.

George Sr's episodes were way sadder to me since he actually was one of my favourite characters (like 4th favourite but whatever it's Arrested Development) but his episodes barely registered a laugh.

Lessee...

Supernatural Season 1: What can I say. I dig paranormal, monster of the week stuff, this does it competently.

Star Trek TNG: Been watching this again. Jumped randomly into Season 4 randomly because I felt like it, skipped episodes if I got bored. Forgot apparently Season 5 was where they decided "Man, let's only have good episodes."

Dexter season 8.

Remember when this show wasn't the worst thing in the universe? Those were good times.

That was easily one of the worst endings I've seen in years. My original idea where Dexter makes a ceramic pot with help from the guiding hands of Ghost Dad would have been an improvement.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra Book 2

So, this has been interesting thus far. It is definitely improved over Book 1, but still shares some of the pacing problems of its predecessor (little plot points slam into you very quickly and things tend to escalate very quickly).

Speaking of escalating quickly! Korra tends to do that. Really hard. Really, REALLY hard. Like, her first reaction to ANY problem is to immediately break the law and/or threaten to murder someone.

Like... chill, Korra. Chill.

The series definitely seems to be building really heavily towards the hammer of reality crashing down on Korra's head. She's in the wrong an amazing amount and if it doesn't bite her in the ass, I'll be shocked.

Edit: Oh, right. Bolin and the buisnessman. They are unending hilarity.

I've given myself -two episodes a week- limit.

Almost done with True Blood Season 4. Huh! It's taking a bit for Sookie to come into her own, but man they've really played up the camp in this. Love it. I don't remember why I stopped watching True Blood while in GA, but Lafayette would say "Mmhmm, bitch."

Been watching Buffy on the elliptical. .... You know, Allison Hannigan (Han?? whatever) is an awful actress.

In early seasons she isn't so great.  On the other hand she is a red head in a show for nerds that ends up playing a lesbian and makes out with Seth Green on the way.  This explains a lot of popularity.

Game of Thrones really picks up during Season 2 where like 6 new factions and 20 new characters are introduced. I was puzzled by the show being seen as nuanced when it was all about the Starks vs the Lannisters.

Everything is interesting right now except Jon Snow, who's still Stock Fantasy Character having Stock Fantasy Adventures in the north.

Yeah while tv season 2 is better than book 2, it still has some of the same problems.  Namely the entire Jon Snow and the Wildlings thing being utterly pointless.

Short TV reviews time. For the new shows.

Agents of Shield (ABC): The Woman in the Flower Dress was good. It took a while to start moving the plot up. I hope it starts getting better. And more cameos PLEEEEEEEEEASE.

Dracula (NBC): I sorta zoned out but the story is more interesting. I'll give it another episode. It feels very much like....

The Originals (CW): ;_; WHY put this against NCIS AND AoS?!? It's actually good but damn you time slot! (NO TEENAGE DRAMA HERE NO SIRREE)

Tomorrow People (CW): ...Teenage drama. It's eh. (Should have put The Originals here)

Sleepy Hollow (FOX): I BOW TO THE LORD! This show is AWESOME!

The Khaleesi plotline was kinda pointless too, but I didn't really mind. Mormont Quatermain's cool.
Her antagonists were very pathetic in that season finale though. Tip: If something is setting you on fire, try to move out of the way. Also: Have... a few guards and stuff? Especially if you've just murdered a bunch of people?

Cersei was so great I almost forgot about the perpetually raised eyebrow for one minute. All the Lannisters are the best.

The House of the Undying sequence was probably the most disappointing book-to-screen translation I've seen so far (haven't watched season three, mind). The book sequence is a cavalcade of surreal imagery that (in retrospect) clearly foreshadows the worst events of the third book and suggests enough about the future to function as a hub of fan speculation. TV sequence is empty corridors and then sneery jaundice victim gets torched.

Cersei's shining (book-long) moment of incompetence is still a ways off. She's just getting warmed up!
