Jay 37,372 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yea, its the total opposite of Sopranos, which as Nightscape just said and I agree with, went on a bit longer than it needed to. The ending seasons aren't as strong as the beginning seasons. Breaking Bad got better and better with each season, and ended on the top of its game.

The arcs were completed when it ended, it was most satisfying, and still the best and most ballsy ending I've seen in TV. 17 hours ago, Jay said: as Nightscape just said and I agree with, Lol, bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There's something about the early seasons. Almost a sort of innocence of the RV years that was gradually lost over time. But that was unavoidable considering the direction of the story, and trying to maintain it would have probably felt false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The last season of BB got ridiculous. The magnet scrambler, the Nazis, the prison massacre, the robot gun, the time jump. Still entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I actually really liked season 5 of The Sopranos. I think it's possibly the best season. The old-timers coming back, Steve Buscemi's character, Adriana's storyline... all great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Based on the description, not entirely sure how "The Terror" will be an anthology series. Every year a different expedition or something? BTW, starting season 6 of The Sopranos and noticed it has 21 episodes?? Holy shit. They really didn't want to let that one go.

Jay 37,372 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's the same thing AMC did with Mad Men and Breaking Bad; split an extra long season over 2 years and called it two halves of a season, even though its no different than if they had called them season 6 and season 7 and each had been a little shorter than standard. Essentially they wrote and filmed episodes 1-12, aired those, took a normal season break, then wrote and filmed another 9 episodes that aired a year later.

nightscape94 965 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Still, it's longer than those other two you mentioned. It's almost like two normal seasons instead of one slightly longer one split in two. And I thought this show was already getting a bit big for it's Soprano sized breeches.

KK 3,307 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 House of Cards Season 4, E1-3 Had a small binge-watching session with some friends last night with the release of the new season of season. Got through 3 episodes, and I'm somewhat hopeful about where its going. I think with Claire's rivalry/opposition, there is a revitalized energy that the last season just didn't have. Just watching Spacey and Wright dance around each other is more exciting than the meandering subplots of season 3. This can go a lot exciting places. What I miss most though is Frank addressing his audience. Part of what made this show so fun its absurdity was its pseudo-Shakespearean nature, but much of that seems lost now. Without Frank caring for his audience, its becoming harder to root or "care" for him. So we rely on plot and the arguably more interesting character of this season, Claire!

Jay 37,372 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Girls 5x02 Good Man Any episode without Sosh is never gonna be a good one and sure enough that is true here. What an odd episode, jumping from story to story with no connection or semblance. It started being about some weird roommate Hanna's new BF has, but then that was never mentioned again. Then Hannah is shown to still be a teacher and is a total dick to the principal, but I guess that doesn't matter. Then her dad has a weird gay encounter, and Elijah is coming to help... oh no, he's off on his own adventure with the guy from House of Cards now. And then there was Ray being annoyed at the coffee shop across the street (how thrilling!), and also Adam and Jessa basically dating. Good for them, they are a good match - I still wish Adam wasn't on the show any more! Thank god we didn't have to suffer through any Marnie scenes this week!

The Leftovers S2: I didn't care about The Leftovers Episode 8 (International Assassin) but somehow I have the feeling it's everyone's favorite. It did however refer to the strange opening scene (the caveman scene) of the first episode. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
