Is that agents of shield any good? It's getting massive promotion here but strikes me that it will be a streaming pile of crap
-
<p>BB what a show. just an epic human interest story. I think it now sits a top my all time list. Best TV show ever.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ive been listening to the Breaking Bad Insider podcast, a drawing of the curtains by the writers ,actors and creator of the show, really interesting this past episode discussing how they did the snow scenes and the effort they went to and all the awesome scenes they had to cut. Skylers meeting scene was originally 9 mins before it got cut down.</p>

<p>Will let you know. First ep only just out.</p> -
Spoiler any Breaking Bad stuff please - some of us are only midway through.<br><br>
Boardwalk has started ok with Chalky being more prominent but it's still a show that promises heights and doesn't reach them,<br><br>
Every character on SOA seems to he going through multiple personality changes. I don't know which way is up with that show any more.<br><br>
First two episodes of How I Met Your Mother were pretty good in relation to the last few series. -

<p>If it's a spoiler, I will tag it. I am and everyone else is being pretty vague. I don't want to put it all unnecessarily in spoiler covers and not pique the interest of those who are thinking about watching it. Which they should, tis a great show.</p> -
<p>Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Exactly what you'd expect. It's no ground breaking TV but the first ep was surprisingly good. Like all first eps it was trying to balance between setting up the premise and telling a story but the quality was very similar to the Marvel movies without the huge budget pieces.</p>
<p>Set after the Avengers battle in New York, it will have an instant following but whether it holds the masses will depend on the storylines.</p>
<p>Like a mini-movie each week it's a bit of a bargain watch.</p> -

All I saw was Skylers name so I didn't read the rest .... so unsure of the vagueness or not.

No Love for Boardwalk Empire? - Season 4 has a new sinister character, the "Trinidadian Doctor" 3 episodes in and I am hooked again</p></blockquote>

Watched season 3 after a very long break as season 2 didn't really do it for me. Glad I did, best yet I reckon. Told my brother about it and he cleared through all 3 seasons in a couple weeks. Two eps in on the 4th, bit slow so far, hoping the 3rd changes that -
<p>I series linked a series on UKTV a few weeks ago called The Fear, watched ep 1 last night and looks like it could be a good watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Set in Brighton where a Mafioso type (the Irish father from Top of the Lake) is struggling with his mind slipping into dementia or similar while he also struggles to retain his hold on the town as the Albanian gangs look to take over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also seen a couple eps of Da Vincis Demons, looks watchable, but nothing special.</p> -

As I said, the characterisation on this show has gone to the dogs. I don't think they did enough build up work in turning him into another Clay. That's just my opinion but I feel like I'm watching a different show.<br><br>
I think Jimmy Smits should be added to every show to add a but of gravitous. -

<p>I'm not so sure. The whole arc of the show has been watching Jax change from an idealist to realist to a dark place. I'm expecting that the rest of the arc will either show his total downfall or saving.</p>
<p>Fair to say the show is in a pretty farked place at the moment though with few hints on where the light at the end of the tunnel is.</p> -

They seemed to speed up the arc in about 2 episodes! -
<p>the show is missing OP and to a lesser extent Bobby so far IMO...I have not yet watched ep 3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also never realised Sutter was Otto...</p> -
<p>I reckon OP was Jax's conscience, now that he is gone, Jax has no one to reign him in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I reckon there has been a pretty decent arc to Jax's progression. Every season he has pulled off some under handed shit to rescue the club, and each season what he has had to do has been worse and worse. I think he has just lost site of what "for the good of the club" means, and who the real enemies are. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>All i can say is, they better fucking end this show. I think they are signed on for this season, and one more, and in my eyes that should be enough to wrap it up. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone got an idea what Bobby's big play is? (besides the obvious)</p> -

<p>Thats a pretty thoughtful comment for you ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah the show must be on it's last legs, maybe the writers should have the MC contact Saul Goodman given I hear there have been whispers about a spin off involving him, and do a show merge :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Not really spoilers...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jax is simply becoming everything he hated about Clay and the MC.<br><br>
Speaking of Clay, starting to feel a bit sorry for the guy...<br><br>
As for the US Marshall dude, WTF! How much sway can a retired US Marshall really have on a current Investigation!!<br><br>
His favours must include images of someone he is blackmailing! [/spoiler]</p> -

<p>No clue? So he goes Nomad? Is that a big deal? I assume being Nomad, they are allowed to operate in any other charter's "area" but not be bound to that charter's president. Thus setting up Bobby to be around Charming, but not having to do what Jax says?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There really are no likeable people left on the show at all. The whole MC pretty much deserves to be locked up for life, or killed in a shootout or something. Now that would be an ending to rival the Sopranos fade to black.</p>
