Alright, I'm one season in on the Breaking Bad catch up marathon.

 

Damn, I wish I had started watching it originally. I actually watched the first three episodes in 2008, but couldn't get into it then.

 

I have all the episodes recording on the DVR. Just need to find the time to start watching, but definitely excited for it.

Finally caught up on the past two episodes of the Killing before Sunday's finale.

 

Definitely didn't see Mayor Adams becoming an ally of Linden/Holder. Chief Jackson can suck it. I'm betting Gwen and Richmond knew what Jaimie was up to. The past two episodes seemed to really the give the story a focused direction, but I'm sure there will still be some left turns in the finale.

LOL. Conan should just do his show here from now on.

He'd run out of old, fat, Superfan jokes really quick and then there'd be nothing left for him to talk about.

Yeah, i'm sure it'd get old. Maybe he just needs to do a traveling show. I feel like when he's on the road he does better bits. The thing with him singing the blues with kids was also great.

I just find it funny that the opinion that show has of Chicago is no different than the opinion SNL had of Chicago 20 years ago, even though a lot of things have changed.

I feel like they are pulling it out of their ass and probably picked a killer 2 months ago. This show has zero accountability as no real clues are leading to the eventual killer. It'll just be "oh ok, so that guy/gal did it."

 

I can't believe I still watch the show.

Agreed. I'm in the same boat. It really angers me that Linden and Holder are doing so much illegal s*** too. Even if they eventually find out who the killer is, they've completely f***ed any chance of a case against them. The entire ID card thing made absolutely no sense. Why on earth not just pick it up and say "ah ha!" right there. Stupid.

 

And like they wouldn't have checked the ferry vehicle records on the first day investigating the case? They wouldn't have noticed that the campaign car had gone to the casino, signed by Gwen? And what's worse, they've been to the casino before, so they've known about the whole "sign in/sign out" thing for weeks. They just now conveniently thought, hey, lets check to see if that car came on the ferry. Asinine.

Same. The entire way they handled the key card was terrible.

Am i the only one who watches The Borgias? Just caught up on Sunday's episode. Great stuff. I'm glad I hadn't already known about the final scene of the episode. With historically accurate shows, I tend to find myself looking ahead on Wikipedia to find out what becomes of the characters, but I'm glad I didn't know this twist.

 

My wife likes it.

The new season starts July 15th, so as long as you watch at least one or two episodes a day, you'll be fine. That's what I'm doing. Although I'm working all weekend, so I'll have to wait to continue watching until Tuesday. I'm two episodes into season two.

3 hours of coverage tonight for a guy tightroping across niagara falls. And yet the entire thing is pointless because he is wearing a harness. Remind me again why I should be interested in a stunt in which the participant has no chance of dying.

Exactly my thoughts. My parents made me put it on the TV, and after about 10 minutes they mentioned a harness. Umm.....Why not just run across the damn wire, and if you fall, get up and do it again. The only reason to watch is for the risk.

Yeah it isn't a stunt or being a dare devil its walking across a rope for fun.

FWIW, i heard an interview with the guy and apparently ABC demanded the safety harness or they weren't going to let him attempt the walk. He said it was throwing him off and he had to practice with the harness in order to compensate for it. It wasn't his idea.....

I may or may not be in the minority but I liked the season opener of Burn Notice.....

 

I also thought the season opener of Suits was top notch.

 

Can't wait for Falling Skies. (I love mindless tv)

Not a terrible resolution to The Killing. After they got Jamie to confess, I was disappointed, but then once they revealed that it was technically their aunt Terri who put the car in the lake, which drown Rosie and actually killed her, I was more pleased. That's actually a pretty good twist, what with her not knowing it was her own niece who was in the trunk and all.
