QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 5, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) Justified was weird last night. Not sure why they needed to have an entire episode of Raylan running around trying to protect a random guy from Manny from Boardwalk Empire. The actor that played Jean-Baptiste wanted out of the show early(didn't like the screen time he was getting or something)...but they had plans for him later in the season. The writers actually fell an episode story short because of this, so Yost had to create a quick story for Raylan to plod through to catch up to next weeks episode. Ava's and Boyd's stories were still pretty decent, and Raylans was aight. .

I think they'll hover around .500 all year. Wind up with 77-82 wins

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) True Detective is making TWD almost unwatchable. I need to start watching TWD first. If I watch True Detective first, it makes TWD look stupidly bad. True Detective can make a lot of shows look stupid. Watch TD before Justified one time. Couldn't get in to the Justified episode even though I know it was brilliant.

True Detective (with GoT behind the scenes before the episode) and The Walking Dead on tonight. Hoping TWD continues to get have a good season for the second half.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 09:04 AM) Also for those of you with Netflix, House of Cards Season 2 will be released next Friday. Yeah can't wait. Watched season one on my trip to Canada and back around June. The trailer for season two looks phenomenal.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 09:59 PM) Damn, Justified. Top 5 Episode of the series right there. So much stuff happened, and it was all awesome, and unexpected. Season was good, but going slow, this episode really turned it up a few notches.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) Either the great contract guy Hahn misread the market or the bid was a publicity move. Or knew the market, and refused to go higher than he needed to to overpay?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) Um, Looper was awesome! Forgot about that, but those have been the last three after looper

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) That would be the most ideal situation I think. This season it's Woody/Matthew, next season it's Bruce Willis and Jon Lithgow, etc. Willis definitely needs a show like TD to get back. GI Joe n the last Die Hard were turds Red 2 was meh.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) I hadn't heard that. That will be interesting. HBO just signed for season 2 also... the creator has an interview somewhere where he talks about where the show can go from here. True Detective is such a vague title that they can do almost anything with it...kidnapping, fraud, drugs.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 07:45 AM) I was getting the vibe that Cohle is a suspect. I thought that too. Don't rewatch the trailer to this season to keep from getting spoiled.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 12:21 AM) I'm just hoping the entire show is not all about this one serial killer they are going to be chasing. I fear it could turn in to The Killing where they lead us in 100 different directions and drag one case on for multiple seasons. I wonder if they could use the same format and just go through a couple different cold cases that are being reopened. True Detective is going American Horror Story route actually. Every season is a different case with different characters in a different city, and perhaps a different time period. I would like to see major movie actors take on the roles every year...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) So True Detective question: Do you guys think that Hart and Cohle are being interviewed because the case is being reopened? Or is one of them a suspect?

Black sails was underwhelming to me. The trailer kinda got me excited for a mature pirate drama. It's too "pretty", some actors are hits(the captains), others are misses(merchants daughter, and the whore). I'll watch it(probably the whole season) but I hope it gets better than the pilot. 6.5/10

True Detective is an extremely well written and acted show with an engaging story. 2 weeks for the next episode...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 07:43 AM) First time ever in the TV Thread. Just looking for new shows to check out, I'm stuck in the apartment for two weeks over Chinese New Year's before I can fly to Indonesia. Here's my current list. Elementary Sons of Anarchy Breaking Bad NCIS NCIS/LA CSI/Las Vegas Modern Family Big Bang Theory Scandal House of Cards Hostages Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Entourage Larry David/Curb Your Enthusiasm I've heard some recommendations for Homefront, Boss (Kelsey Grammar), The Newsroom, The Blacklist and Betrayal. Someone else mentioned The Good Wife but I'm not much of a Juliana Margulies fan. Person of Interest, too. Any other great shows out there that are reminiscent of the ones on my list? Justified Deadwood Sherlock Luther

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) Unicorn testicals. There is no way that is a thing...I thought Unicorns were asexual. Get real or get out!!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 11:27 AM) I do not begrudge Woody Harrelsons character for making that choice. Michelle as his wife is hot, but the side action is hotter (despise cheaters)

He faced the same competition as Puig, Cespedas, and Viciedo.....which he absolutely killed, and we have guys predicting he do no better than last years Dayan? GMAB...

Master and Commander is a really great read. The movie is actually an adaptation of the first few books in a 17 book series...and it is one of my absolute favorite movies. I think it exceeds what I've taken from a few of O'Brian's book I have read..

Justified starting next week. The promos are getting me pumped.

Todd Ritchie wasn't a good deal Alomar and Colon trades were decent at their time IMO

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 10:07 AM) Bottom line to me is Viciedo is more valuable to the Sox given his potential ceiling than he will net in a trade at this point. He along with Danks would be giving up assets for a devalued return. That's it. This is literally the answer to this thread. Viciedo will serve as DH/LF/1B for 2014 and probably 2015(unless opportunity in FA or trade presents itself). That's his value. You have to hope for the best, for his breakout, but also expect at least the same from him. Now I think he'll have a fire lit under him for this year. He's got another Cuban(basically a year older) on the team to give him a friendly "competition" I'd imagine. Let's give the kid a year or two...after that he disappears into obscurity if he doesn't perform.

Heard Mob City started. Anybody catch it? Totally forgot when it was airing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 10:02 AM) What's been so good about it? And any Dana is too much Dana. The entire Brody family shouldn't be a part of the show. They add nothing. Well for show's sake maybe they're phasing them out...and if they're doing that, wouldn't it make sense to show the characters and finish their story early in the season? I don't see the Brody family being an important part for the rest of the series. All 3 seasons have been great, and season 1 is still the best.
