Didn't see Breaking Bad tonight, but my parents said it was awful. Barely watchable.

By "awful" did they mean "character development"?

What? The Fly was awesome.

 

Reviews abound called it an amazing episode, comparing it to the Pine Barrens episode of the Sopranos.

 

The fly was terrible. What did we learn from that entire episode? Flys can contaminate things, and that Walt ALMOST admitted to Jesse that he let Jane die. That's all. I did in 5 seconds what took them an hour of my life.

My little cousins were watching iCarly the other day, and I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoy the show at times, but this scene came on and was the only one in the room that understood it. Awesome homage for Wire fans.

It was what I call a "set up" episode. It's setting the tone for what this season will be...

 

Jesse fighting his demons.

Will Walt get to Gus?

Will they be able to get the car wash, or what will they do to launder their money?

What will happen with Hank and Marie?

 

It wasn't a memorable episode, but it's setting up the story lines for the next 11 episodes.

 

Bingo.

Bye bye, Evan. You pale skinned, b****.

 

I love it. Wes is the self-proclaimed toughest and fittest guy in the world. But he has to send a fat, out-of-shape Canadian into the Jungle to knock out big bad CT. Nice try.

FALL TV Preview ‘11: TERRA NOVA

via the TV addict by theTVaddict on 7/28/11

 

You’ve seen the commercials. You’ve heard the hype. Now there’s only one thing you want to know: Which of the new fall shows are worth watching and which should be avoided at all costs? In this continuing series, we give you the scoop on some of the most highly-anticipated shows of the season, with today’s subject being TERRA NOVA.

 

The Boilerplate: Since these pilot presentations may go through numerous rewrites and casting changes prior to premiere, this by no means should be considered an official review. Rather a preview of what one can expect come Fall.

 

The Plot: TERRA NOVA follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in doubt, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past. When scientists unexpectedly discovered a fracture in time that made it possible to construct a portal into primeval history, the bold notion was born to resettle humanity in the past – a second chance to rebuild civilization and get it right this time.

 

The First Impression: Much to the chagrin of many industry observers who have spent the better part of the past year taking cheap shots at Fox for failing to unveil TERRA NOVA last season, fans will be pleased to discover that it was more than worth the wait. No really, forget everything you may have heard about the show via Twitter, because it not just lives up to the hype, it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen on television before. Suffice it to say, courtesy of some truly awe-inspiring visuals from both the dystopian future and the prehistoric past, every one of the Pilots reported 10 million dollar price tag is oozing off of the screen. What’s more, thanks to a stellar cast, beautiful score and the inclusion of a couple of surprisingly stellar plot twists that both SMALLVILLE and LOST fans alike will find intriguing, there is no doubt in our mind that when Fox finally does launch this much-anticipated new series, audiences of all ages will be clamoring to find out what happens next. After-all, it should probably go without saying that Dinosaurs are least of the Colonist’s problems.

 

The Concern: Despite the fact that we’re already primed to proclaim TERRA NOVA our most anticipated new series of the Fall, it’s not perfect. Which is to say, when our inner-ten year old wasn’t busy marvelling at the Dinosaurs reminiscent of Jurassic Park, we were shaking our head at some of the clunky dialogue and predictability of the plot, particularly where the eldest two Shannon children are involved. Also of concern, is as a result of the what are being touted as groundbreaking industry visual effects, it remains to be seen if Fox can actually deliver on their 22 13 episode first season commitment. That said…

 

The Verdict: Will most definitely have us rooting for this epically ambitious series.

 

TERRA NOVA launches on Monday September 26th at 8PM on FOX (CityTV in Canada)

 

umm, yes please

Curb is 3 for 3 on the season.

 

The last episode with the Palestinian Chicken was freaking amazing. Im not a comedic genius by any stretch, but was the scene at the dinner table when they were discussing whether or not the Palestinian Chicken place should be built next to a deli a bit of a stab at the whole issue with the plans for the mosque being built at the World Trade Center site? If so, that was awesome.. I share Larry's opinion on that :lolhitting "Its America, they can do whatever they want"

If you're one of the two or three other people in this thread that enjoy the American version of Wilfred, I recommend checking out the Aussie version. Both are obviously pretty similar (American version steals some lines from the Aussie one), but the Aussie one seems to be a little different... maybe a tad darker. I'm only four episodes in right now, so I can't really say which I've enjoyed more, but I'm leaning toward the Aussie one currently.

Not technically TV but to others reading the Song of Ice and fire series, I just finished the third: "A Storm of Swords" and it is by far my favorite in the series. Holy s*** things get real.

 

Best book in the series so far in my opinion and most others. The next two are still good, but the narrative gets a bit lost with the way they were split up and with some extra chapters crammed into ADWD because of the large time gaps between book releases (Martin didn't want to leave readers waiting 10 years for updates on some characters, like he did with AFFC).
