Brumerican Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If you think that the final episode of The Sopranos is open to interpretation then you can't have been paying attention through the show . Tony's outcome was foreshadowed frequently . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 New series of the Newsroom starting at 9pm tonight on Sky Atlantic. I hear season 2 is far better BOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 BSG complete series is down to £37 on amazon, is it worth a punt? I'm not a huge fan of sci fi but keep hearing good things, I'm having shoulder reconstruction next week so I'm going to have plenty of time on my hands.

theboyangel Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Have watched the first 2 episodes of the French crime/supernatural series The Returned and it is brilliant!!!! In a nutshell, set in a small Alpine town suffering the effects of a school coach accident, leaving 40 children dead four years ago. One families grief is halted with the reappearence of their daughter (not zombiefied!), who died in the crash. The girl isn't the only villager to return from the grave either. It was on C4 a few weeks back but possibly available still on their website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Just started watching A Touch of Cloth, Charlie Brooker's parody of police dramas. Absolutely fantastic. "Who was on the phone?" "It was the boss. There's been another murder. He wants us to head on over there during the ad break" "What?" Ad break...followed by car pulling in to a drive.

You don't need to be a Sci Fi fan to like it. Just be ready to give it a chance. Watch it all regardless, it gets better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped watching Breaking Bad after the first 2 seasons. 2 years later I watched Season 3 & 4 and to say my opinion of the show changed would be an understatement.

Rodders Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I like Newsroom season 2 so far. other views are certainly available and have been expressed, but if you liked the first season you'll like the second I have started the 3rd season of BSG a few days ago after a pause between seasons and I think the first 4-5 episodes in particular are just phenomenal TV tbh, definitely up there with the best I've seen on other shows, the amount they cram in, in terms of drama and analogy, from the war parable, holocaust trials, and terrorism is remarkable. Saul Tigh in particular, when he kills his wife amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Netflix which only costs £6 a month (with a month's free trial) If you have a lot of time on your hands there's plenty of tv shows on there to keep you occupied.

Jon Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Just started watching A Touch of Cloth, Charlie Brooker's parody of police dramas. Absolutely fantastic. "Who was on the phone?" "It was the boss. There's been another murder. He wants us to head on over there during the ad break" "What?" Ad break...followed by car pulling in to a drive. Back in the incident-room, back in the old routine, DI Cloth (Hannah) demanded of his team they left no turn unstoned in the hunt for the suspect, and he did this in rhyme: "Who's his mother, who's his dad?/Has he read Beevor's Stalingrad? What's his height, what's his weight?/How often does he masturbate?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Tigh in particular, when he kills his wife amazing stuff. it was aired during the occupation of Iraq when the number of American soldiers dying for suicide bombings was at its height. To then go and make the case for suicide bombings of the Cylons and to actually empathise with them for doing that. For me, that's the best piece of TV I've ever seen. Making an audience side with the suicide bombers at that time was just gutsy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was becoming a chore to watch it. I watched Y Tu Mama Tambien instead of BSG recently and realised I could spend my viewing time more enjoyably than watching 30+ hours of this series. It has some fantastic episodes but I've never been totally invested in it. I've read about the conclusion and was surprised at some of the revelations.

CVByrne Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Your choice. But my Breaking Bad example is a valid one. Show was just ordinary until season 3. That's part of its brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
