[spoiler]At least it's getting to the situation that for every problem solved only one other arises. For a while there the problems were accumulating faster than the bodies. 
So Happy, Tig, the chinks, the blacks, the Irish have all been sorted but now the Mayans, the DA, Tara and Juice/Nero situations need working out. 
One more ep left this season and it makes me wonder if, with only the integrated storyline of Tara and the DA to go plus the future direction of the club depending on Nero, where will things go for a last season? 
Surely there is no need to introduce another bad guy for the sake of it and the prospect of it just being a soap opera about Jax and Tara isn't inspiring. 
Could Sutter be pulling a swifty and bowing out next week? It's the kind of thing that fits in with how he operates.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]well well, what the fuck does Tara think is going to happen now? i didn't think she would sell out.

I can't see a way out for them, surely it's fucked? There have been a lot of bodies in the last couple of weeks. Nero and the Mayans could get ugly. The law is still hard on them. And now they are out of guns, are they out of friends? 
I honestly don't know how i want it to end now[/spoiler]

MId-season finale of Walking Dead was pretty good (Lauren Cohen - aka Maggie - is HOOOT) 
[spoiler]Bit annoyed that chick killed the Governor, Rick didnt kill him as he wanted him to turn. 
Did think it was a bit strange that for the most part about the confrontation, there were no Zombies about, despite rocking up in a tank and firing a warning shot, but once shooting started, all the Zombies found thier way to the prison.[/spoiler]

Walking Dead was getting a bit dull, but it sure picked up in that last episode! 
 
now to have a break from TV shows and wait for GOT to resume.

Consdiering there is quite a bit of good (or watchable) Tv out there at the moment there is only one current show that I find myself waiting for the next installment on and that's SOA. I think tonight will sort out the Happy storyline.
 
To my surprise the other show that I don't wait on each week is Arrow. The Island story arc gets tedious but the show is finally getting into the comic groove instead of trying to look like a cheesy drama based on a comic. I hear that more comic book villians are in the pipeline too.
 
I enjoy Homeland each week now (despite the reappearance of the whiny daughter) but often don't catch up with it until later in the week.

There's none for me at the moment - but Justified and Mad Men are two that usually are when they return.
 
I'd like to watch the original Israeli series that Homeland was based on Hatufim/Prisoners of War, but I haven't been able to acquire a copy.
 
The Island arc of Arrow is all good - it's the Maori arc ;).
 
 
SOA
[spoiler]This weeks episode all felt a bit meh - there really are just too many wheels turning at the moment.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]i think there was just too much going on, why would anyone trust Jax? He is doing what Clay woulda done to keep the club going, and Jax is doing it for the new direction. 
Tara probably now needs to quickly let Jax know her plan so he doesn't hunt her down. I assume she has a plan, cos I am sure finding her car won't be too hard. 
I wonder if we will see Nero's dark side now?

Black Mirror season 1 episode two was a fucking excellent bit of Ballardarian sci-fi. Technology magnifies obsession.

Sherlock Season 3 starts first thing in 2014. The one we've been waiting for. Dying to see how he did it.

Wiki says that Robert Downey Jnr has purchased the option on that episode to expand to a full length film.

Well, that was a dumb idea to watch last night. I started it late and forgot that the season ender is usually a long ep. Was well past bedtime by the time I finished and then had trouble getting to sleep.
 
[spoiler]The worst bit was that you knew it was coming, could see the story leading there but weren't prepared for the horrible nature of it. 
All sorts of questions left unanswered about how the situation with the DA/ Jax/ Juice/ Gemma plays out. 
Sutter is a sick puppy and in this link he talks about last night. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/11/sons-of-anarchy-death_n_4426768.html'>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/11/sons-of-anarchy-death_n_4426768.html</a> [/spoiler]

Not impressed Kurt
 
[spoiler]i know it fits in with the whole show, but i am still pissed they killed her off. 
I wanted Gemma dead 2 weeks ago, now i hope Jax does it, and i reckon he will. He'll find out she "okayed" JT's death, he'll find out about Tara, and he'll kill her. And i'll cheer, long and loud. 
Next season is going to be bloody. At the halfway point last night i had decided the only way the show could possibly end was them all to die. Now? I still think it's going to head that way, but Jax will fuck off with the boys. 
Fuck Juice. 
I am also unimpressed with the offing of the Sheriff. Not cool. Now that Nero is a gang banger again, we're left with a show full of detestable characters. Oh, and bobby. [/spoiler]

SOA
 
[spoiler]The sherrif killing would have just been fitted in as he hadn't signed for next season (has a major role elsewhere). 
It looks to me like the whole story has become Gemma's as much as Jax's (not surprising seeing as she's Sutter's missus). 
I can see a messy scene in the future with Wayne trying to save Gemma who is desperately reaching out to Nero who is fighting with Jax but having conscience issues. Then Jax finally realises his mother is actually the root of all evil not everyone else that has died to the point of this revelation. 
Then again, maybe Jax and Nero realise their latent homosexuality and move off to a ranch near Brokeback Mountain to raise their children leaving Gemma to live out her days wiping Wayne's ass. 
PS Juice is a fucking screwup[/spoiler]

[spoiler]WTF!! Where do you start? 
I said it in another spoiler/post, Gemma is Kurt's wife, she will never get her come uppance, never! 
I reckon despite the way she will fight and do anything to save her family, she will lose everything and be left at the end of the next series alive, but completely alone, with Jax either dead or split with the kids (assuming he doesnt go to Jail, I mean what incentive is there now) 
Although he is in a bit of a pickle right now. 
Yeah rough with NEro heading over to the dark side, he has replaced Opie as the good in amongst all the sh!t. 
Not really sure what they will do with the final series (especially if Jax ends up in Jail) but obviously all hell is gonna break loose in Oakland with gang wars and the Sons are gonna be stuck in the middle. 
Juice is a pussy, I used to like him but his character has turned into a Pussy, and TBH I have no idea how he thinks cleaning up that scene will play out, not to mention killing the Sheriff. Does he think things will get pinned on Jax freeing him up outside or will he take the rap meaning Jax will kill him, and he finally gets to be dead? 
I wonder if it will come out that Gemma killed Tara, and if so, what will Uncer do, maybe she will die at his hand (given that would be the most surprising)
 
Assume if Jax goes to prison, and with Tara dead, Wendy will end up with the kids as that was what the will stated wasnt it? [/spoiler]

Veep is worth a look. Especially the 2nd season. It's very light weight and polished, but entertaining enough.

So, Homeland
 
[spoiler]yay, Brody's dead. I wasn't sure they were going to go with it, but was happy they did. 
But a suspicisiously white woman climbs up a fence amidst some angried up Persians, and starts yelling in English with an American accent, and isn't torn apart by the crowd? fucking bullshit. What is she, fucking invisible? 
It's all wrapped up, the show is done. Saul is retired, Carey some how still has a job, and has been promoted, Brody is dead. We're done here. 
But no, there is a 4th season. How the fuck are they going to pull that off? Hopefully, with Brody dead, then we don't ahve to see his family again, and the whole series is Quinn straight up murdering bad guys, but being conflicted about it. 
Season 3 sucked. [/spoiler]

Sons' hugs.

[spoiler]Thank God Brody is dead, they really couldn't go anywhere more with him. This season did suck, at least the last few episodes were a little more entertaining after they sped it up. But Carrie getting a Station Chief job, running their biggest asset? Yeah right!. She is mental, not to mention a loose cannon who does whatever she wants often putting the ops and people at risk. She should be shit canned, not promoted.
 
As for the family, Ma Brody and annoying daughter actresses both didn't get their contracts renewed, so (hopefully) we see nothing more of them. I hope they make it more like season one, with some deep cover operatives running around Iran, Iraq, Afganistan etc. And Quinn badassing it up.[/spoiler]

Just grabbed Banshee season one, and The Fall to watch over the holiday travel period. Either any good? I also have Masters of Sex (watched the first episode when it aired, but havn't had time for the rest). And of course the Downton Abbey Xmas Special (shut up!) and Series 3 of Sherlock starts on Jan 1st as well.

taniwharugby

Banshee is enjoyable, plenty of BS, but a fun watch.
 
I liked The Fall, Gillian is still rather tidy, like most there are some plot holes, but for the most part was a good watch, and series isnt too long either.
 
I have decided not to watch the most recent series of Downton, annoys me how some shows kill someone to create drama.
 
Yeah I saw they had finally put a date in the S3 slot for Sherlock, be great to see how they do that!
