Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Homeland has definitely got back to the slow burning Season 1 feel. Sadly you just know Brody is coming back, he'll get exonerated, and be back working for the CIA, then it will get ridiculous again. Should have killed him off in season 2 and kept the focus on Carrie and Saul.

Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostI saw an interview with the head of AMC last week. Obviously it had to do with the end of BrBa, but the most interesting question was about how shows like BrBa and Mad Men (also drawing to a conclusion soon ... 2 more seasons) could have a detrimental effect on the channel in the long term as they set the bar so high that failure to maintain that height could lead to decline (AMC is a publicly traded company).
He said that Walking Dead had no ending in mind, and could continue for 10 years or more. He also said there were would be an upcoming spin off series from The Walking Dead. Presumably they plan to run some version of "The Walking Dead" all year round?
While on the one had I like the fact that The Walking Dead isn't going anywhere any time soon. It's also a fact that shows with definite end in sight, and therefore direction, turn out to be the classic shows. The one's that have no ending tend to meander and become landfill ... especially if they keep killing off their main characters.
I hope they don't turn The Walking Dead into a cash cow. Look what the ratings success of True Blood did to that series.
I dropped Hell On Wheels a while back, and Low Winter Sun didn't seem very good. Turn and Halt and Catch Fire look interesting though

Literally means "pulling your pants down to fart" which is a Chinese idiom for "wasted effort." Makes sense to me!

Originally posted by revo View PostOK, Person of Interest question. Due to traveling, DVR issues, Hurricane Sandy and the fact CBS didn't include this show in its On Demand menu, we missed all of last season. It's finally available on Netflix, but the likelihood of watching 20+ episodes now is very slim. But we do like the show.
Do we just start watching this season having missed Season 2? Or get the DVDs (probably during January), try and catch up, then get Season 3 on DVD next year? Or just give up on it altogether?
For those coming in completely new, you can skip the first half of Season 1 if necessary.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostI suppose it depends on how the infection originally started and if there is any other way it can spread. If it is only through biting, then it wouldn't make sense for everyone to be a zombie, because at some point they will rot away to nothing, and have fewer and fewer new replacements.
The end of season 2 has the answer to that....spoilers in white below

Originally posted by Erik View PostSeason 2 was uniformly excellent and really expanded the universe created in Season 1. Season 3 doesn't make much sense if you haven't seen Season 2. And no, do not give up on it.

Just caught up with last week episode of Boardwalk Empire ... damn that was tragic. So well written and constructed. They gave us the tiniest glimpse behind the curtain of this mans life ... and then ... poof. Amazing. That final scene felt so real.

I'm watching Season 4 of "The League", which is basically "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" anchored around a fantasy football league, and with hotter chicks. Excellently mean spirited....."You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R".

Enjoyed the first episode of Dracula. NBC are upping their game, first with the excellent Hannibal, and now this. I don't think The Blacklist is as good as I thought it would be, but it's apparently doing well in the ratings, so it may have the chance to turn things around ... I haven't completely gave up on that one yet.
