Anyone Watching A Good Tv Show?

Finally we have gunfire and stuff in Rubicon!

(and a scene that's being compared not unfavorably to a particular scene in season 3 of The Wire, one featuring two characters who have each set in motion events severely damaging to the other reminisce about the good times)

Just finished Season 2 of The Sopranos.

So glad that Ritchie Aprile was bumped off, didn't expect what happened though :-)

And Pussy was always on borrowed time

Merlin actually.... you may laugh, but it's got some good actors in it like Colin Morgan, who apparently is Norn Irish although you can't tell!

I love watching Merlin with my kids. It's great fun and once you get your head around the anachronisms and massive amount of licence they take with just about everything .. it's quite a watchable show.

That last episode was the best "shit goes down in the penultimate episode of a season so the characters can pick up some pieces in the finale" episode I've seen since http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4k238Qy3wo. If the next episode is better than Fallen Heroes, Part 2, then I think I'll rank it ahead.

I'm actually amazed the writers put what happened in the penultimate episode and took the series in this direction (though I did guess the plot of the conspiracy about five or six episodes ago).

Perhaps it was Americans and not British Petroleum behind the Gulf Oil Spill ;)

What makes Rubicon brilliant is the pacing. We started out this season with minimal answers, minimal development, minimal everything. We had a lot of Will Travers struggling to find out just what the hell it was that he was supposed to find out. And then he found out, and everything started moving at such a breakneck pace. The attempt on Will’s life last week brought the episode up to a whole new level of action. How could Rubicon have outdone itself after “A Good Day’s Work?”

It did. “Wayward Sons” was the best episode of the series. Period. It might even qualify for one of the best episodes of television this year. The episode had us all so focused on the characters that when the final, shocking climax occurred, it completely knocked us down and pinned us. Rubicon‘s scale, in one single moment, went from intimate to epic...
