<p>Sutter has let slip that he only has plans for a couple of the crew to go (he could be fucking with everyone), so the big money is on Juice as one of them.</p>

<p>I want Tig to ride into the sunset with the tranny.</p>

<p>yes!</p>

<p>Juice is fuuuucked. </p> -

<p>[spoiler]Jax is lost, all the good is gone. He is going to do some baaad shit in this series.<br><br>
Fucking Gemma, that fluffybunny. She is going to get everyone killed to cover her own ass.<br><br>
Prediction: Nero kills Jax to save Jemma, just like Clay killed JT [/spoiler]</p> -
<p>NZ viewers - that new series Cover Band looks like it could be pretty funny! </p>

<p>It's a long The Walking Dead season (s3) so my comments are still a few days away, but lets just say that I was extremely happy with one character death and unsurprised with another T-Dog: you lasted longer than expected!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, I just started watching The Blacklist and I must say a few episodes in I'm enjoying it - but what the hell is up with the main chick's hair? It's weird, it looks like a wig.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Attention Rusty: I'm trying to make sense of all the new shows etc from different types of providers (I liked Amazons Alpha House) - are there any comedies you can suggest worth my time that I might not have come across obviously?</p> -

<p>I gave up on the blacklist it just seemed tedious.</p>

<p>As I'm only a few episodes in the tedium has started yet ....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I assume it's from the case of the week aspect?</p> -
<p>The Blacklist is so fucking stupid. I mean, i'm all for a bit of escapism TV, but that whole premise is just so fucking stupid. And how retarded does it make the rest of the FBI look, when everything gets solved by the sensitive profiler chick newbie? fucking bullshit. Mrs Mariner is a fan, so i have watched a fair bit of it, and i roll my eyes nearly every episode. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, Nepia weren't you a fan of that bloody Covert Affairs trash? Do you like watching them when you are on your period?</p> -

<p>I like escapism TV (which USA Network does pretty well) to balance out the serious watching whether on the rag or not. Pfft, at least I chose to watch it and don't<em> have</em> to watch it because I'm under the thumb. ;)</p> -
<p>that's not a symptom of being under the thumb. I have many other things that are a result of my thumbed-ness. </p>

<p>Hang on are you openly admitting to being a fan of covert affairs?</p>

<p>I'll openly admit to watching anything, I have no shame, I like Piper Perabo.</p> -
<p>that show really is complete shit</p>

<p>40 minutes? you're watching a download? you went to effort?</p>

<p>She's hot but not sit through 40 minutes of turgid shit hot . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neither is the chick from the blacklist, trust me you'll want those hours of your life back its just tedious.</p>
</div>

<p>I don't find the Blacklist chick that hot - as I said, her hair is weird, the Indian chick is pretty nice though. I'll get back to you when I've watched a couple more episodes to let you know if it's gotten tedious.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm pretty glad I've got another whole season of The Walking Dead to watch before I catch up!</p> -
<p>The Walking Dead S3 rant! Spoilers abound, but as I'm likely the only one still this far behind I won't cover them up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wow, it's like the writers peered into the future, read my mind and then wrote parts of this season especially for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Wifie - gone, yay. Blondie - gone, yay. Carl - took him from whiny kid to bad ass. Maggie - didn't kill her off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In less surprising writing we see T-dog exit just as another black male character arrives. Oh well T-dog you lasted a season longer than anyone expected!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great first half of the season I thought and then a fairly poor and meandering second half with a crappy finale.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Things that really annoyed me this season: There's an impending war with the Governor and they don't post anyone on watch in the towers a bunch of times. In the early episode they risk everything to clear the yard of walkers yet when the Governor brings down the fence they don't try to retake the yard and fix the fence. They don't even spend time wiping out the walkers that just wander up to the fence. FFS, clear the nearest walkers and then get out and fix the fence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The final battle was stupid. Why would the Governor and his army just retreat when only Glenn and Maggie are shooting? The Governor went all a bit cartoon villian at the end and in the real world one of his two underlings would have shot him after he shot all their people you'd think.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why on earth would they bring all the people to their raggedy old prison that has walkers on all sides, walkers inside and a big hole on one side, rather than just move to the town which has solid defences, houses, a generator, gardens etc etc. Another annoying thing is that they'll have all these background people like Lost used to have that will play no part in the series. The Lost ones used to piss me off, there were only a finite number of people in the crash yet the extras changed all the time. And often there were burly guys doing nothing. And the absolute worst was when one of the main characters would return from some mission and they'd all rush around and stand around them in a semi circle and I'm thinking WTF you've never even interacted before. Grrrr.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Things I liked: Bad ass Carl. Although I think they mishandled the scene where he shoots the kid who stumbled upon them. In the aftermath they were playing it as Carl going over the top when Herschel and Rick discussed it. But when they filmed it they made it seem like the guy wasn't putting down his gun. At the time I thought it was absolutely the right thing to do and not an example of Carl going over the top.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't like sword woman at first, maybe because she was tied to Blondie but I was happy she was around by the end. Good to see the black guy from the pilot as I've been wondering why they forgot about him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good to see Cutty from The Wire. It looks like he'll have a role carrying on - hopefully not as T-dog Mk II.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I still like Darryl and I think they made good use of Merle this time round.[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So that's S3 done and dusted, on to S4 of my favourite love to hate but actually really love show.</p> -
<p>I finished Falling Skies a few weeks back, and have to say easily the worst of the 4 seasons, storyline was weak, a few annoying characters, although they killed 1 off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>S2 of Under the Dome (finale tonight I think) enjoying it, while Stephen King is involved I think it is now a long way from the book?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hell on Wheels (half way through S2) pretty good, although it is just lacking something, cant quite put my finger on it, but it could be very good, but doesnt quite make it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gotham starts on TV2 on Sunday</p>
