    We're Back! (mostly)

    p.s. Welcome back, we've missed you! :D p.p.s. Now, where's that TV shows forum... edit: it's at http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/40-tv-programming/ :)

    We're Back! (mostly)

    What a palava! The new system didn't remember my username, had to use email + reset. And somehow you've found a different avatar of mine... :ph34r:

    Justified - Season 4 (FX)

    What Justified does better than any other show I can think of is fully utilize a wide variety of villains and have them play off each other. Great to have Limehouse back. Only realized today (checking IMDB) that he was Nic Cage's buddy in Con Air. Honestly, I haven't enjoyed this season quite as...

    Star Wars Ep. VII Megathread: The Force Awakens

    My first reaction to this news: Jar-Jar Abrams = final nail in the coffin. Maybe (hopefully) I'll be pleasantly surprised but, if VII turns out to be anything like his Trek movie, I'm going to hate it. :( edit: boo, what a downer for a 2,000th post! So I'll turn my frown upside-down. I enjoyed...

    The Following Season 1

    I was referring to the very end of the movie, Copycat, where :)

    The Following Season 1

    I enjoyed the pilot. Highly derivative, of course; it's Silence of the Copycats - but that didn't make it bad. I always have time for Bacon and Purefoy, and Kevin Williamson is a very good writer imho. I'm probably sticking with this show till the end. :)

    The Good Wife Season 4

    She is by far my least favourite guest star on the show. That whole episode was an absolute chore to sit through - and all the French "comedy" plain embarrassing. The Good Wife, while I still watch it, is not nearly as good as it used to be. Which is a real shame. :(

    Justified - Season 4 (FX)

    Uh-oh, now I've read that spoiler and gone searching for the interview! http://www.vulture.com/2013/01/justified-boss-graham-yost-sets-up-season-four.html ^^ Contains other spoilers, including one which put a big smile on my face (to do with the fate of an old character):

    Justified - Season 4 (FX)

    Surely the Big Bad is the Snake-man - and that rivalry with Boyd is going to form the backbone of the season? As for the cold case mystery: I presume Raylan's mum (step-mum?) kept hold of those drugs that fortuitously fell from the sky, and whoever they belonged to went looking and is probably...

    The Good Wife Season 4

    Cary's dad is Lex Luthor - now it all makes sense! :D Nice to see John Shea again. Really good guest cast this week in addition to Shea: F Murray Abraham, Amanda Peet & Christina Ricci too. Then, Zach Grenier steals the show at the end as the super-smug David Lee. In a perfect world, this show...

    Dexter season 7

    I'm guessing the writers don't have young kids - or they think the main Dexter audience doesn't! It's like a recent ep of Boardwalk Empire, when the baby was crying in its cot. The "mother" goes over to it and says "shush" and the baby immediately goes back to sleep. If only that worked irl. ;)

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    Anyone else watch Dr No today? I did. Not my favourite of the Bonds but a gorgeous picture on blu-ray. I finally noticed the glass under the tarantula! I remember the VHS & DVD pq was always so brown, so gloomy, so dirty before.

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    I had two Live and Let Dies and no SWLM. :f The discs were badly inserted, sideways, so the titles weren't all visible. I only just noticed. Contacting Amazon now. What a pain! :(

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Exactly. And Walt's fingerprints were all over it. Question is: are his prints in the system?
