I love Boardwalk, it's so well written and the cast are phenomenal.

I love that HBO had enough faith in the talent of Terrence Winter and obviously Scorsese as producer to invest so heavily into in the series, as it really pays off with the incredible amount of money and work that goes into producing the settings.

I got bored with Boardwalk. I got about half way through season 1 before I stopped watching.

Loving Parks and Rec though, I came in on SBS2 around half way into season 2 and am loving it! Such great humour and great casting. I rate it up there with Arrested development and seasons 1,2,3 of Community

Been watching it purely because I am a Marvel and comic fan, but like you say, the story almost seems like its been done before.

I don't like Colsons character, far tooo serious for my liking and he doesn't play the character too well.

Apart from that, it has potential, just needs to be done properly.

Speaking of SHIELD. Seems Marvel is going all out on the TV front. They've signed a deal with Netflix to produce 4 seperate live-action tv series. Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones. These four series, starting with Daredevil in 2015, will then lead into a team up miniseries called The Defenders

Finished Uni on Friday, so I decided to crack into The Walking Dead S1 which I bought pre-semester, but never got around to watching it. I'm not really into Zombie films, but wow. Absolutely brilliant.

Andrew Lincoln is brilliant in playing Rick, he seems to play the role naturally. Was awesome seeing Lennie James in the opening episodes as Morgan Jones. Really hope we see him in later on seasons (perhaps Rick and the survivors find him). I like, but at the same time dislike how you don't find out if he manages to go through with [spoiler]killing his wife[/spoiler]. I get the feeling we'll see him in future seasons, you can't kill off the first normal person Rick encounters without showing it. He's probably one of my favorite black small screen actors. Been awesome in a lot of TV shows.

Definitely get round to getting season 2 and 3 in the coming weeks. :)

When you get to season two just keep this in mind:

Season 1 - Great
Season 2 - Horrible
Season 3 - Good
Season 4 - Great

I've been watching Arrow lately. It's pretty good so far I would rank it on par with something like Agents of Shield. I think it has great potential and I think it will get better as the story progresses (I'm mid way through season 1)

I wouldn't say S2 is horrible. It is just drawn out.

The mrs & I stayed up late last night because we knew we were up to the Red Wedding in GoT. Please excuse me while I die of shock

Finally watching Breaking Bad. Best series ever.

Reminds me of what people have said about Sons of Anarchy. S1 Great, S2 not bad s3 drawn out s4 great s5 great.

Speaking of seasons 4 & 5. Just started watching S4. Shoutout to SydCro for giving me the seasons on a USB. Love you bro. =d> This forum needs a brohug emoticon.

Just on the new season of the walking dead.

[spoiler]Am I only one who thinks that Rick telling Carol to leave is a little BS. In a way she was right, the two who were sick were threats. I mean Rick in the past has eliminated threats as well with Shane, the bar scene and the Governor, yea these were a little more self defense. However he was very close to killing that kid from the bar shootout. I just think in their world what Carol did wasn't that much worse than whats happened in the past.

I also don't feel like Carol would simply drive off and leave those two girls and Daryl behind.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I think the difference is that Rick is the leader, even if he is reluctant to keep that role now. He kills off those people to assert his control over the group as much as in defence of it. The others don't think they have much choice but to follow him. Carol killing the sick behind his back undermines his authority and she becomes a risk to his position so she has to go.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] I think Rick believes that Carol was too far gone- the people she murdered weren't a threat, and were being handled by the committee. Not to mention the fact that her recklessness killed the young couple at the house- remember she insisted that they go out searching. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yea fair point about the authority. First with the knife classes, going outside to pump the water and then the murders. As well as taking control of the situation with that young couple. But I still don't feel like she'd just drive off without talking to Daryl. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Darryls reaction is going to be great if he finds out this week, but then again I think the writers are angling him towards Michonne, just a feeling I get.

Also missed the memo where Hershall grew another leg :lol: :lol: [/spoiler]

Shows I am currently watching that I am REALLY enjoying are;

Agents of Shield.
The Black List (The last few episodes have been great)
Persons of Interest
The Tomorrow People (it's okay, I just watch it as it's another thing to watch really I have so much spare time)
Atlantis (BBC Show). It's okay, the CGI can be pretty bad lol. But, I enjoy it. Then again, I am just a BBC fan boy (Love Doctor Who, Sherlock, Merlin) WHICH May I point out, this is written by the writers of Merlin.

[spoiler]Yea Daryl just found out so hopefully we see the confrontation next week but then again they could focus on the Governor and Glen instead.

Always felt like Michonne was a lesbian. :lol:

Yep Hershall sure knows how to move. :lol: [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Should have seen the smile on my face when they showed the Governor at the end. Season has been stagnating a bit in my opinion, now the real shit begins, love the character and love Morrissey as an actor, hes fucking brilliant. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yeah the Hershel thing has been bugging me too. I can't believe they found a false leg that was a perfect fit to his mangled stump!
I think the whole Carroll thing is more, a trust situation and Rick trying to save her. Like Shane Rick can no longer trust someone who constantly takes matters into her own hands without thinking of the consequences, also Tyrone would rip her apart.
The reintroduction of the Guvnor is timely, I think we'll get a hold off on the Rick and Daryl showdown and a Guvnor centric episode showing what he's been doing since he left. Including sending all the Walkers toward the prison! [/spoiler]

Really enjoying this season, even my wife is getting into it and asking lots of zombie questions.

This page just turned into some redacted CIA file :lol:

Oh don't worry it gets better. Season 1 was good without being great imo. Season 2 though, holy shit did this show get fucking awesome :lol:

Anyone here watch Supernatural? Still amazed that show has made it 9 seasons and doesn't look like slowing down. Credit to the writers being able to keep it fresh and still surprise after this long.

I watched up until they got stuck in some room with Castiel. I think when it went all religious it lost me. I think that was around Season 5 or so.

May get back into it, absolutely loved it!

Season 4 had the introduction of Castiel. I love Supernatural, especially the first 3 seasons. The 4th and 5th were good but once they hooked into the whole heaven and hell thing they never could get out of it.

The introduction on the Men of Letters is interesting though, This is a story line im interested in since the end of season 5.

I've only seen eps 1-3 so far but really happy with it. Season 7 has been the weakest though.

S6 was good, S7/8 not up to it's best. S9 is looking a lot better though.

I think that's the main bit, they've all done things unimaginable in the real world that they have to live with, things Rick seems to be struggling with, but the key things is when you say 'their world'. Whilst I feel that would have been acceptable in the past, Rick is now trying to get everyone back to some sort of real world normalcy and her actions compromised that big time.



Season two is the best season of SOA imo, I actually liked three but I understand why most didn't, four is great too but I absolutely hated season five, it had moments of absolutely cringe worthy soap opera type stuff, six has been an improvement though.

Spot on summary of SoA.

Yeah seasons 1-5 ranged from good-great, Seasons 6-7 are easily the weakest, Season 8 getting back into it and Season 9 has been a return to the best imo.

Yeah been happy with what I have seen so far with Supernatural this season, still not even close though to the first 3-4 seasons though.

I miss Breaking Bad. :cry: :cry: :cry:
