Jay 37,370 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Saturday Night Live 41x01 Miley Cyrus / Miley CyrusPretty terrible. Miley is a weirdo. The cast seemed to just go through the motions, no sense of vigor or drive. Taran Killan made a good Trump though, and the Hillary Clinton sketch was good. Weekend Update continues to be a dumpster fire, and the increased presence of Leslie Jones is confusing and ill-advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Downton Abbey 6x03A weird, unabalanced episode. Didn't like that the (definitely drawn out too long) conflict about where Carson and Hughes' wedding would take place was not only still ongoing, but that it was resolved in the same episode we saw the wedding. Would have made more sense to end it now (or the previous episode), and actually dedicate some time to the wedding. What we got was way too short! And the arrival of Tom at the end was so stupid and ridiculous! You can't just pop over to England from Boston then like you can now; It would have been a long boat trip, he would have written beforehand - if for no other reason than to inform his kids grandparents where he is! Anyways, the Violet/Isobel feud continues to be the worst and most boring story they've ever done. The story with Sprat hiding his nephew was pretty good. Edith's story at the magazine was pretty good too; Looks like she'll finally find happiness. The scene with Thomas interviewing for another job was odd, seemed out of place. I have to imagine there's more to that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Homeland 5x01 Separation Anxiety Total snoozefest, nothing that happened was interesting, no good storylines were set up, this show is a shell of its former self. And that's the kicker - it was never even GREAT, it just came SO CLOSE and held on for years on the promise that it would hit its potential. But its clear now it never well. They should just close up shop and let everyone move on to other projects. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Brooklyn 99 3x02 The FuneralThe A plot of Jake and Amy dealing with The Vulture and his decree they break up wasn't bad, with some funny moments. The chemistry between Jake and Amy is actually working out OK. The B plot with Holt was lightyears better than his one from last week. Just him being with the gang again was enough, but then his drunken scenes with Terry were fantastic. The C plot of Boyle and the random other cop was just weird. I feel like they've changed his character so much since season 1. They've also never once referenced his love for Rosa since Season 1, which was like the driving force of his character all season. So weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The first 5 or 6 episodes of Trailer Park Boys. Oh shit, this is golden age. Why the Americans felt the need to remake our The Office when they have their own brilliant original mockumentary comedy like this is beyond me.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Marvel's Agent CarterVery nice, and quite a different kind of show then the obviously Whedonesque Agents Of Shield.Haley Attwell is once again excellent in the role of Peggy Carter and the production design is excellent. It's not a series that uses a huge amount of special effects of is even very high on action, but when it does, it's looks motion picture quality.Surprisingly slow burn for a show of this type. taking it's time to slowly develop the characters, many who go from being stereotypical G-men, to people you care about.I wouldnt call it a slam dunk hit, but it's very solid TV.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Finished the first season of Trailer Park Boys, which was originally nothing more than a bored impulse watch on Netflix. Thank god as well, because I'd have hated to miss out on what has fast become my current favourite TV show. It's brilliant. The acting is astonishingly realistic, the comedy writing superbly understated and sharp as a needle. In the mocumentary style it is easily on par with The Office and Alan Partridge, and may yet eclipse them the further in it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Season 1 wasn't. It's ran for 9 of them as well, so it's always a threat isn't it. Few comedy series avoid that pitfall. Curb managed it, but only just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Season 8, its final, was fairly weak imo. As always there was good episodes in there, but the consistency was down on previous seasons. Not that I'd pull it up on it for that, since it'd be fairly pointless given how great it is overall. I mean, look at Arrested Development. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 While i love Larry David, he can't be accused of avoiding repetition either. There's a lot of dancing around the same social peculiarities and their often hilarious-if-totally unbelievable consequences (if you're not from L. A. maybe).

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 To be quite honest there's weak episodes dotted throughout Curb's entire run.

Jay 37,370 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Downton Abbey 6x04OK Tom's return isn't as bad as I thought it would be. He's a nice character to have around. Thomas filling in for Carson was amusing, and Carson's scene at the end grabbing his old name plate was cute. I think its kind of odd that Mrs. Carson would be OK with being called Mrs. Hughes still? The highlight of the episode was the return of YGritte from GOT. Wow! Took me a bit to recognize her. At first I thought it was lame stunt casting, bringing her back just because her run on GOT was over. But the way they tied it into everyone else's stories, by bringing up the Sybill connection, was really great. Just good writing all around. I don't get why they keep showing Lord Grantham having stomache pains. Didn't we go down this path last season? Are they going to kill him off in the season finale or something? Still don't care a lick about the hospital storyline. Maggie Smith had some fantastic moments this week, though! Halfway done with the final season!

Maybe Showtime should have aired the first 2 eps back to back like they did last year. So no one's trying to kill the billionaire, they're trying to kill Carrie. Is this going to somehow all come back to Brody? God I hope not. And at the end, did Saul actually put Carrie's name in Quinn's box, or did someone change it after the fact? Hmmm.
