Harry Chappas Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 While SOA has been simply watchable this season last night was a pretty good episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 06:27 PM) Anybody still wasting 30 minutes of their week on HIMYM? Last night's episode was so god awful but I'm in it until the end. I've got it on DVR. If I hadn't have come this far, I would have been done with the show.

I stopped truly enjoying the show about 2 years ago but I can put up with 20 minutes a week to see how it ends since I don't watch a ton of TV shows anyways.

kageman129 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Even though the show is by no means the same old HIMYM, I still enjoy it. Not a popular thought, but I think Ted is the best character and just really can't wait to see how it all wraps up. Like Sepinwall said, I am getting sick of the same Farhampton scenes and wish it was at least somewhat back to normal. And like Brian said, get Marshall there so we can stop with the annoying sassy black woman and Marshall fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Masters of Sex is nearing must-watch territory for those needing a new show. The T-n-A is great, but the characters and various story lines are actually pretty engaging. Boardwalk is/has been awesome this season. I don't get the people who complain that nothing happens. Everything is a set-up, just like the Sopranos. And the sets/costumers are awesome. My only question about the latest episode is: what does Nucky have to lose by backing Chalky? Or rather, what does he have to lose if Chalky takes care of Narcisse? He's not in the booze game, he's not bringing in people to the club. Nucky derives zero benefit from him, so why would he be against a "war?" I don't think that's been explained enough, especially since any "war" would involve a gang of Narcisse supporters we haven't seen. We don't even know if he has a gang to back him do we?

Isn't Narcisse the owner of the Cotton Club and other larger, more established venues? I thought he also had most of the major talent under contract unless I'm mistaken.

I mean, the club appeared to be doing well before he came along and inserted himself into the situation. And if he was a rival club owner, taking him out might be good for business. Seems to me Nucky just doesnlt want to get involved, but that's not really a good explanation for why he won't give Chalky approval to take him out.

It was part of the settlement for Purnsley killing that white dude who worked for the Doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I like the rest as well, so tough call. HIMYM is my favorite show, I do wish they ended it a season ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm a week behind all of the major shows, that's my excuse for not posting more. I did catch Homeland from last week though. I have no idea where this show is going. The entire Dana/Brody family storyline is completely unnecessary and downright boring. And the Saul/Carrie/random Iranian person storyline is too confusing to follow. I'm not sure why i'm supposed to care about him or what role he played in anything. Did he plan the CIA bombing? Did he finance it? So confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Kurt Sutter was on Howard Stern this morning and he is hoping to make a show called Original 9 the prequel to SOA. I would begin two years after SOA ended. Sounds liek soem pretty cool stuff. Gotta dig a 70's motorcycle club show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true but it would be interesting to finally see the back-stories of the different characters that we mostly only heard about in SOA. I had to look up who the first 9 even were because a few were barely referred to. The only ones I could name off the top of my head were John Teller, Clay Marrow, Piney, McGee and Lenny the Pimp. Wiki link I always thought Otto (Sutter's character) was first 9 as well. Guess not. Edited November 12, 2013 by Iwritecode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As much as I like SOA, I wouldn't watch a prequel show. I'm pretty much over Clay's sociopathy and whining Teller's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Gotta tell ya SOA is having a nice season. The prequel would be good because it goes back to them working the bulls*** jobs, see Bobby Elvis, things early on that made the show different that were cool.

Why the f*** does every episode have to be an hour and a half? It's just piling up on my DVR, because that's such a daunting commitment (something like 65 real minutes without commercials). I'm much more down for spending 42 minutes with the Sons on a weekly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much more down for spending 42 minutes with the Sons on a weekly basis. Same here. The only time my wife and I get to watch some shows is after the kids are in bed, and settling down to watch a 90 minute (60+ minutes of actual show) is tough. I think I have six episodes on the DVR, and I'm trying to not read anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
