SnB Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) Ok, woah, woah woah......I am watching the series finale of Weeds right now, and I just had to stop it for a moment. HOW THE HELL was Frank Thomas a disappointment? For those who haven't seen, or don't watch Weeds, one of the characters (albeit, a drunkard) just said.... "I sold 4 Frank Thomas rookie cards for a fortune to some little Japanese f***er. The guy must have been out of his mind to pay what he did for The Big f***ing Hurt. I mean, the guy was a solid .300 career hitter, but a real disappointment when you think about it." UMMMM WHAT!?!!? You bring my team, and my guy in to the show and you TRASH him! I hate you Kenji. That's what you get for still watching weeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 28 minute show once a week was no big commitment. They gave me 4 real solid seasons, and a couple mediocre ones, I wanted to see how it played out.

I don't get the over the top vitriol that it is receiving prior to the premiere even airing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy how it seems just a combination of Jericho, FlashForward and a few other post-apocalyptic shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Late to the party, but Boardwalk Empire was very solid. Introduced the new characters, caught you up with what the old people have been doing, then BAM, ACTION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since LOST ended, networks have been looking fora show that had that following. Probably won't happen with Revolution. Gus Fring was the only decent actor so far.

The acting was pretty bad(and this coming from someone that doesn't notice bad acting) but it kept me entertained through out. I'll definitely give it another chance next week.

Soxbadger Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was fine with Revoluton's acting. Plot line reminds me of Flashforward and a bunch of other shows that got killed after the fist year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hate the pilot and will keep watching. I would have saved that last scene for later in the season after characters are developed more. I'd give the premier a "C." I don't understand the nastiness towards it, but I can see why people don't like it. Having teenagers as your lead characters is a problem. Developing the world in less than 15 minutes is a problem (should have done an hour long episode pre-outage, and a 2nd hour of what we saw in the premiere). I liked the idea, but obviously the better show would have been the outage and the immediate aftermath. Not some lame 15 years later story. I dunno, I think the main thing is people have gotten spoiled watching cable shows. The bar is so much higher nowadays. At least they're not turning this into a procedural like Terra Nova/Alcatraz, etc. As soon as this becomes "tune in next week when Charlie and her uncle fight off the Aurora militia" i'm OUT.

I'm not the only one though. There's a lot of hate watching with that show. From the panels at ComicCon it sounds like the writers are fully aware that the 2nd season sucked and there was too much talking/not doing anything. We get new characters and new sets in season 3, so i'm sure it'll be better. Lori Grimes is still around though. She might be the worst character in the history of television.

It's that there wasn't any action AND the dialogue that took its place sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 With how it played out, I'm fine with Ian winning over Dan. Ian pretty much did all of the 3 things to win. Be social, he loyal, and win some competitions. Danielle was stupid to the very end. Saying Ian taking Dan to the final 2 was cowardly. It was obviously the right move.
