[spoiler]Yeah I really hope Gemma gets her come uppance, but it reminds me of the SImpsons episode where HOmer is a food critic... 
Nobody talks to me that way. I'm Homer Simpson, the most powerful food critic in town, who will never get his comeuppance! You hear me? No comeuppance! 
Gemma cos she is the writers wife... Nobody talks to me that way. I'm Gemma Tellar, the nastiest b!tch in town, who will never get her comeuppance! You hear me? No comeuppance! 
Yeah really feeling for Tara, she has basically fallen into the 'old lady' life and ended up like Gemma, despite her efforts to keep abit of distance and not be like Gemma. Jax needs to grow a pair and sever the umbilical cord. 
I wonder if Nero was supposed to be in for this long, but he is carrying things at the moment I reckon.[/spoiler]

Burning Love.
 
It is actually a web series, that has now made it's way onto TV via the E! Chanel in the US (and Australia apparently). It is a spoof of the Bachelor/Bachelorette terrible reality TV dating shows. Stars most of the cast of Party Down/Veronica Mars/The League and cameos by a ton of big stars. Much funnier if you have had to sit through episodes of the Bachelor with your partner. Trailer for the 1st season below (if not geo blocked)
 
Season 2 and 3 are available on the net here (in the US at least) : <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://screen.yahoo.com/burning-love'>http://screen.yahoo.com/burning-love</a>

not really a TV series as such, but i have been watching a "30 for 30" documentary on ESPN every Tuesday night (they seem to be re-playing some old ones) they really are very good. Sure, very Ameri-centric, but the stories are great. I really enjoyed the one on the ABA team that showed "Semi Pro" wasn't that far off! And the dude that scammed his way to owning the New York Islanders.

SOA latest is apparently a 'must watch', so I will.

EDIT: it was. I won't even spoiler it.

Holy fuck what an episode!

not happy, was gonna watch last night, but the ep I had was labelled incorrectly!!

[spoiler]Clay should have died last year after the Piney incident. Long overdue[/spoiler]

[spoiler]TBH, I wasn't that excited with the Clay killing, I'd gotten used to him still being around although I agree with Rusty (and probably everyone) that he should have been killed ages ago. But it was great to see Gaillen (sp?) get killed, they managed to create the most annoying Irish characters through the run of the SOA series.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Surely they're fucked. How can they not be fucked? 
The DA knows they sold the guns that were used to kill those kids. The DA knows it was them that broke out Clay, and killed a cop. The DA also knows it was them that killed Clay, Gaylen and the others. How can they not be fucked? 
Do the choonzies still have Happy? Won't they be pissed as well? 
And Tara is now fucked as well, she talks, and rats everyone out, or the DA throws the book at her. 
I kinda thought Clay wasn't going to get what was coming to him, the way it was always put off. It was pretty shocking to see it happen. 
I feel sorry for Wayne. 
They have to be fucked. [/spoiler]

SOA
 
[spoiler]I kinda got over the need for Clay to die, that ship sailed a long time ago, and just didnt feel right.
 
Surely Jax must have some other plan in the pipes, otherwise he has just farked up big time! I was expecting him to get on the phone to the DA claiming a sh!tstorm and that was the result. So you think he must have something else up his sleeve, unless this whole thing with Tara is clouding his judgement into thinking the DA will be satisfied with 3 dead IRA and Clay as opposed to being able to convict a top IRA...
 
That dumb cop who Juice ran over, why would you try to be heroic in that situation, just farken stupid as there really is only 1 outcome!
 
I dont reckon Tara will hand over the bullet just yet, she obviously still loves Jax and is torn between betraying him further and providing a better future for her kids.
 
Uncer's character has always been a bit of a sad one, if Gemma didnt know he has been in love with her all these years, she is even more farked than I thought.
 
I guess with Jax all but forcing the IRA into the gun trade with the 'black', maybe he wil get them to help free Happy, or again, maybe he thinks the Chinese will be satisfied Gaylen is dead?
 
UNless he has somethng big to offer up to the DA, he is in it deep![/spoiler]

[spoiler]I was a bit confused by the plan as well - I thought Jaz would have done it to make like the Irish busted Clay out and not the club. It seems like Jax has left them in a place where they are more exposed to the law than before.
 
I think the dumb cop was just stupid writing by Sutter.
 
I'm hoping this series wraps up the DA's storyline and that next season we see the return of the leader of the white supremacists who owned the cigar shop. 
 
Alright I'm going to go read Crucial's link.[/spoiler]

SOA
[spoiler]At the bottom of that link I posted is the teaser for the next episode and the DA says to Jax, "I can see why you are the leader" as if he has pulled off something clever. 
The ever annoying Juice seems to play a part in what's coming as well and the face off with the Chinese gets dealt to.[/spoiler]

Banshee Season 2 starts early January. Looks great.

Finished Under the Dome, I enjoyed it, a good time filler, tempo lifted in the 2nd half of the series and finished setting up S2 nicely.
 
Started Revolution as well, it also seems to upped its game a bit, the whole power outage isnt such a big deal now, more the power struggle.
 
I see Walking Dead is on break from next week too, that sh!t pisses me off. Seriously you need a break when half your cast are zombies who just walk around slowly and make sounds like HOmer Simpson when he thinks about beer or donuts?
 
Have a few other series to start up over the summer while everything goes on break.

Thanksgiving Turkey time break this week for a few shows. No SOA, no Arrow....
 
 
Will catch up on a few others I have been stockpiling. I lost interest in S.H.I.E.L.D but I have been reading that the producers took note of feedback and criticisms and by the most recent episode have bounced back in the ratings. I will check that out.
Also need to catch up on Person of INterest which I gather have had some big developments since I fell behind a few weeks back.

taniwharugby

Yeah I have Arrow, POI, The Americans, Ripper Street, Whitechapel all sitting waiting, so the big break shouldnt be too much of a problem
 
Was wondering why there was no SOA last night! What does Jax and Tara have to be thankful for?

So anyone? Anyone still watching Boardwalk Empire? I still hover between really liking the show, thinking it's ok, and then having it as the last of my list of shows to watch. I thought this season was one of the better seasons for about 9 episodes. But, big spoiler here:
[spoiler]Why does this show always have people die off in such silly ways? Firstly we have Jimmy knowingly walking to his death blah, blah, blah as I mentioned above. Now we have a crack sniper who stuffs up a shot I doubt he'd stuff up in real life, then he just waits there and lets himself be shot by characters with handguns. And this is all apparently done to get an emotional scene and 'kill off' a big character. I didn't believe the pulled it off with Jimmy (and I couldn't stand that character or actor) and don't think they've done it with Harrow. Credit to the writers for coming up with such a cool character though.
 
By the end of the season I actually found Eli and his son to be the most interesting characters, despite the new FBI agent becoming as crazy as Mueller (Van something original) was in the first season.
[/spoiler]
 
Revolution: I quite like the show, but I can't stand the mother - whose name I can't remember. I think she may be close to the single most annoying characters in a TV show at the moment - at least top 5 anyway. The new direction seemed a bit weird at first but it's watchable in a throwaway way. Although I do spend most of my time waiting for flashback scenes.
