The constant tv promos for the next season are teasing me to hurry up and get a move on.

Smart kid!
I'm not saying he isn't, but he's too young to get anything out of something like Mad Men.
Sorry, that's what I meant. I'm still stuck halfway through season 2.

Season 3 is much better than season 2, IMO. (They stopped with the regular flashbacks)

Unlike the tiresome ones of Lost, Don's flashbacks added real heft and insight into his character, I thought.

With Don Draper, I'm not sure if I want the insights (keeping things mysterious is often more intriguing than exposition) or if I want it through the use of flashbacks. Anyway, they were easily my least favorite aspect of Mad Men. I was glad to see they were no more in season 3. That doesn't mean they stopped using them but you can no longer set your watch to it. Little spoiler: In season 4, there's a nice flashback of Don and Roger meeting each other.

best line of 2012,
No one does me, better than me.
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

I was so confused by that flashback. The show did nothing to signify there was a change in time. Only until the end of that scene did I realize we were in the past. I think that was always the case with flashbacks, but the editing in this particular situation didn't help.With Don Draper, I'm not sure if I want the insights (keeping things mysterious is often more intriguing than exposition) or if I want it through the use of flashbacks. Anyway, they were easily my least favorite aspect of Mad Men. I was glad to see they were no more in season 3. That doesn't mean they stopped using them but you can no longer set your watch to it.

I don't like how Don's past was executed in the show. Not only did it seem impossible, but it felt like a curveball in the pace and tone the show set up in the pilot. It does add layer and depth to his character, but I think the show would be better if it left the double identity thing out, or cleaned it up a bit so it wasn't so ridiculous. Either way, the writers really fucked up in Season 4.

I didn't experience any problem with jumping back in time without warning (like a blurry transition or something). You could see that it was a flashback by their conversation and also, Don doesn't work as a salesman in a shop.
Spoiler Season 4: Don marrying his free lance secretary without thinking about it is a reaction to the bad things that happened in his love life. It often is meant to get back at the person that went away (ex-wife).

I was referring to the season finale, which you addressed somewhat in your spoiler.Not sure if I understand what you mean with 'fucked up season 4' but if you mean they shouldn't delve into Don's past too much then I agree.

It makes no sense on the writers' part, which leads me to Karol's post:
I think the reason why Season 4 ended the way it did was so there could be a whole other season about something. I don't know what Matthew Weiner's game plan is, but at this point it seems like he has no end in sight and wants to keep it going on aimlessly. All he really had to do was give more attention to the side characters.Season 4 is definitely a bit weaker than the previous three. Not sure why. Maybe the concept is simply wearing out?

Strike that. Firefly will come before Sliders.
Personally I don't mind that Netflix is dropping a lot of movies in favor of TV shows. There are a lot of good ones to catch up on.

After I watched the Earth 2 pilot, I watched the pilot to Sliders, which I had never seen before. I got into that show well into later seasons -- still during the first three since the Professor and Wade were still in it -- but I couldn't tell you if the order made a difference. I think I'm going to watch that one instead of Earth 2.

I used to watch Sliders as a kid too! It was on every Friday night, double-billed with The X-Files (before X-Files moved to Sundays). Good times.

I need to start tuning in to Bob's Burgers. Seems Loren Bouchard broke his curse by lasting more than 4 episodes with this one. The thing with Home Movies though, it has the perfect blend of Bouchard, Small, Katz, and Benjamin to create the ultimate comedy. Everything these guys have done afterwards have paled in comparison.

Over the past week I watched the entire series of Home Movies. Possibly my favorite comedy series, and by far my favorite animated series. It's unfortunate it got cancelled, but the finale was perfect.
I haven't seen that one, but I loved Dr Katz when I was a kid. Have you checked out his next show, Bob's Burgers, yet?

I definitely suggest you get into Home Movies. I like it more than Dr. Katz. Coach McGuirk is one of the greatest TV characters.

I've seen every episode of Alcatraz. It's alright. The scoring is excellent (It's VERY similar to LOST, at least in the action material - doesn't really have as much oportunity for emotional material)
I've never seen Person of Interest, and also have never heard anyone say anything positive about it. >shrug<

I think it's odd that, for me, the show's central character is the least funny. Bateman has some funny parts, but all the other actors are just too hilarious in their roles for him to even come close. The celebrity characters are all pretty well done too. I think Andy Richter might be favorite one.

Sunday night we watched the shocking Walking Dead episode. What an ending.

You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John".

I know what I find funning and sienfeld, larry david and arrested development are not that funny, perhaps you should examine why they make you laugh and find the deficiency within your concepts of humor. The shove them up your arse, its actually ass over here, and then shove a big black butt plug up there until it soaks in.That's a heck of a gift you've got their - knowing what is funny and what isn't to people who aren't you. Either that or you're pulling shit out of your arse and passing it of as fact.

But we agree on the buttplug thing. They make a point like no other.

Gay!
It's a man crush, in that the craggy old git would be awesome to be around. According to Ricky Gervais, he is.
