Did anyone watch the HBO sneak peak of Luck? I DVR'ed it but didn't get to watch it yet.Comment

The climax to Homeland was good ... if a bit contrived. It was obvious what wasn't going to happen, it was just a question if they could pull it off and retain credibility. I really like the Saul Berenson character ... he gives the series a real sense of gravity.Comment

Yeah, obviously he couldn't off himself in season one, and I kinda like the way it played out.Originally posted by johnnya24 View Post
What did everyone think of Dexter? I didn't think it was a bad season, nor was it a great season. Not sure I like the way La Guerta or Quinn were used, and the incest angle didn't work for me (especially since these two just divorced in real life!) Some other plotlines went nowhere (Mathews/call girl, the interns/stealing serial killer items, the nanny), and in the end, it seemed like the Brother Sam plot did nothing. Anyway, Dexter's like pizza -- it's never bad.Comment

I agree, this season wasn't the best and Colin Hanks just wasn't menacing enough. I'd probably rank season 6 ahead of 3 & 5 but behind 1/2/4. There were definitely some weak eps (like Dexter going manic and taking that trip to Nebraska) but I thought the final two were great. Plus I think they killed Brother Sam off too soon. However, I disagree on the incest angle and I actually predicted here that this would happen (not sure which thread, maybe this one or back on the old site, can't recall). It sets up nicely for next season but I'm not sure how it stretches out for two more.Originally posted by revo View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.

There's been a lot of incest floating about this year, first Boardwalk, now Dexter ... although not sure this is technically incest.
That was a nice spanner at the end. I wonder how he'll squirm out of that one ... it's not like he can claim self defense.
The second half of the season was good, but the first half just didn't hold together for me. I liked Brother Sam, but it turned out a bit pointless.Comment

Anyone been watching American Horror Story? I saw part of the first episode ... it looked halfway decent.Comment

It's a fun (insane) show to watch with half your brain turned off. It's not campy like True Blood. I thought it was entertaining even if the story was over the top and there were maybe a bit too many characters. I wasn't crazy about yesterday's finale, but the episodes before it were nuts (in a good way, I think).Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostComment

I finally watched this last night. As an avid horse racing fan, I hope it gets better. As Johnny mentioned, the cast is stellar, and the production team of David Milch and Michael Mann is certainly top-notch, but it was cliched and predictable.Originally posted by frae View Post

I thought the first episode was OK-- good acting hampered by tired writing. I agree with Ed-- not off the DVR list yet, but it's going to have to improve. Right now my major question is, "What was Dustin Hoffman thinking"?"There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

Agreed that it wasn't bad, but I think it was easily their worst season. I was really hoping that the Brother Sam line would develop into the major theme of the season but they pretty much just abandoned it. Every year I watch the final episode and wonder how the writers are even going to work their way into the next season, and Debra finally seeing what Dexter is while falling in love with him is no exception. The best I can say is they've certainly left me wanting more, so mission accomplished, writersOriginally posted by revo View Post

Yeah, after thinking about it further, it definitely was the worst season of the show. That still makes it better than 90% of the other dreck out there, but it was disappointing. I read an article on EW that basically says as much.Originally posted by Bob Kohm View PostAgreed that it wasn't bad, but I think it was easily their worst season.

Also, HBO fans -- Hung was cancelled. Too bad, it was just hitting its stride, and the latest season left off on a cliffhanger that I guess will never be resolved.Comment
