Chris Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I actually really hate the character of Carrie.I've mentioned this before but she's the worst thing about the show. Totally ruins any plausibility (which is, admittedly, little) the show had. There's no way a character like that would be anywhere near covert work or the kind of security clearance she obviously has. It makes for occasionally good telly but if the CIA actually worked like she does they'd be utterly fucked. I hate the painfully crowbarred in backstory and personality (like her awkward jazz references) as well. Terrible character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Series 2 of American Horror Story (Asylum) is immense. Immense. Jessica Lange is a God-damn acting Tyrannasaurus. Zachary Quinto is fucking ace as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Before it started I had been expecting season 2 of homeland really go downhill but then after seeing the first 3 episodes I thought I'd got it wrong. But then it really did go to shit. Still entertaining but in ridiculous ways that drag the quality down and really just make it about seeing what happens next. I dread to think what season 3 might hold.Some specific problems I have with itThe whole Finn and Dana hit and run story. fuck off.Abu Nazir was supposed to be some high level terrorist no one could keep track of, moving around the middle east. Now him and Carrie are chasing each other around an abandoned mill. What the hell?for being such a pivotal event in the story I didn't really feel anything when Nazir died.If you're going to try and tease us that Brody might get killed, don't tell us all that he's signed up for season 3 already.My thoughts exactly.Also agree about the Carrie bashing. I get shot down when I say it to my GF but when she comes running and screaming up to a professional CIA agent with tears running down her face and barks knee-jerk orders at him, in real life he'd laugh and tell her to 'jog on petal' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 She was a fantastic character in season one. Back when she was aware that she should try and keep her craziness hidden as much as possible. No that it seems like she can get away with being a lunatic because she was right about Brody it's all just a bit silly. Also I always liked to think that her relationship with Brody was totally calculated and she only wanted to get close as a way of stopping him. But that's pretty much impossible now.

Soda Jerk Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 So, what the hell did you guys do when you ran out of Breaking Bad episodes to watch? Did you just kill yourselves or something? My life feels pointless now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Knob Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Since Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are on a break, I've been getting re-stuck into Blue Bloods. It's awesome as is Tom Sellecks tash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Homeland read if you've seen the season finaleWhat absolute shite. Seriously can't believe how bad that was. Half an episode of boring shit I couldn't care less about and then just a completely ridiculous second half that completes the total 180 degree change the show has made this season. For most of the season I've accepted the show was moving to a straight thriller as I was enjoying the show at least but this was too far.And,um, the president really wasn't at the memorial himself?

Stroopy121 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Just finished Sons of Anarchy season 1. The first half of it was just fairly standard "outlaw bikers are outlaws" chat, but the latter half of the series actually developed into a pretty good plot line. Really enjoyed it. Recommended.Next up - Dexter season 4.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 It is very good. From Wiki:Generation Kill is a British-American television miniseries produced for HBO, based on the book of the same name by Evan Wright about his experience as an embedded reporter with the U.S. Marine Corps' 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It was adapted for television by David Simon and Ed Burns. The series premiered on July 13, 2008 and spanned seven episodes. It was produced by Andrea Calderwood.

Captain America Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Been watching the newer series of Storage Wars on telly recently. I love that show, it's the best trash tv. I think I love Brandi a little bit. Almost as much as Barry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
