<p>Love how Banshee has been set up for season 4. Now go and cast some hotties</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah was an interesting addition to the back-story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty decent finale, explosive and then just as you thought it was over...Rebecca is so badd-ass! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yes, they need at least 2 more hotties! </p> -

Loved a line on latest ep of Justified: why'd you shoot me in the back? I woulda shot you in the front if you were running toward me<br><br>
Or something like that</p></blockquote>
<br>
Saw that, <br>
You shot me on the back<br>
If you wanted me to shot you on the front you should have run towards me<br><br>
The conversation about the coffins was not bad either -

<p>I don't see Banshee and Justified as similar. Banshee is basically a cartoon as you say, Justified is one of the best action dramas on TV. and is grounded in a much more realistic world. And like TR says, they've been killing off hotties and not bloody replacing them.</p>

<p>As for Clarkson, when I was young and impressionable I thought he was quite funny on TV, but really he's mostly a fluffybunny when you dig a little bit deeper.</p>

<p>Why can someone not be funny and a "fluffybunny"? There are lots of people I don't like but find funny.</p> -

<p>I didn't say they couldn't. I just don't find Clarkson funny anymore and he's a fluffybunny.</p> -
Hope they aren't setting Raylan up for the finale...

<p>OK, I persevered and after giving Breaking Bad a short rest tried to get into it again but gave up. I just can't get into the characters, I find them all unlike-able and annoying. The only one I got interested in was Jesse's girlfriend and then she was gone.</p>
<p>I guess I need characters that make me want to know what happens to them, to get involved with their stories....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Might give Better Call Saul a go as he was at least interesting and his only back story has potential.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Killing time until GoT and Orphan Black come back now.</p> -

<p>I found Hank to be a likeable character. Season 4 and 5 were definitely pretty awesome seasons. I don't get why people root for Walt though.</p> -
<p>Been watching Better Call Saul.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoying it way more than BB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Same production style but the characters are way better. Even though Saul is a dick on the surface, his character is quickly added to with backstory and supporting characters that create empathy. Has some good scripting too. The downside in the early eps were a couple of idiots that reminded me way too much of early Jesse from BB. At least they went quickly.</p> -
<p>That's a strong decision by the BBC. Top Gear is a big earner for them, and i doubt it will be without Clarkson. Still, rules is rules Harry, even HR ones</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I liked him, he's an arrogant, braying piston wristed gibbon, but he knew it, and played the part to perfection. I liked his rants against hand-wringers, and found his general disdain for others opinions an amusing character (faked or real, it doesn't matter, it's on TV, he's not a mate). He does go too far, the slope comment was too far (or not, maybe he just should have said faggot, apparently that's not really abusive), and he deserves censure for those instances. But i found him far less disagreeable than many others on television.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty much the end of a show that i enjoyed whenever i watched it. </p> -
<p>While we are on the BBC, i discovered the BBC First channel the other night. Some good drama on that. A couple that i started that look alright were a Cold War drama called "The Game", a political drama called "Secret State" and an interesting take on the british gangster story, where the head of a crime family gets Alzheimers called "The Fear". All were very watchable</p>

<p>So apparently Clarkson has been sacked by the BBC fromTop Gear.<br>
Anyone sad over this?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>No.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now he's got some time on his hands maybe someone could forward him the link to the "faggot" thread and he could share his views with us .</p>

<p>Keep an eye out for "Peaky Blinders" M4L. Excellent drama with an awesome performance from our Sam Neil</p> -
<p>Is anyone watching The Last Man on Earth? I liked the first couple of episodes but the main character just crossed into completely annoying after being borderline (I expect on purpose). I want to like it more than I do I just don't.</p>

<p>TBF he's entertaining ever week on Justified. Anytime he interacts with Raylan or Boyd there's funny stuff going on.</p> -

<p>6 new Episodes of X Files ordered</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://tvline.com/2015/03/24/x-files-revival-reboot-six-new-episodes-fox/'>http://tvline.com/2015/03/24/x-files-revival-reboot-six-new-episodes-fox/</a></p>

<p>The truth is <del>out there</del> right here: <em><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://tvline.com/tag/the-x-files/'>The X-Files</a></em> is indeed returning to Fox, with original stars <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://tvline.com/tag/david-duchovny/'>David Duchovny</a> and <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://tvline.com/tag/gillian-anderson/'>Gillian Anderson</a> reprising their respective roles as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p>Fox has officially ordered a six-episode continuation of its phenomenally successful supernatural drama, to shoot this summer and (presumably) air at some point next season. (An official airdate remains TBD.)</p>
<p>“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,†said <em>X-Files</em> creator Chris Carter, who will oversee the new episodes. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.â€</p>
<p>The <em>X-Files</em> ended its nine-season run on Fox in May 2002, but the franchise was resurrected on the big screen in 2008â€
s <em>The X-Files: I Want to Believe</em>, a follow-up to 1998â€s <em>The X-Files: Fight the Future</em>. When last we saw Mulder and Scully in <em>Believe</em>, they were grudgingly helping the FBI find some missing women/bust up a bizarre, Frankenstein-like operation in Virginia. Also important to know: The bureau had pardoned Mulder for going on the lam (at the end of the series†run), Scully had returned to her medical career, and the partners were still romantically entangled and living together.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p>Duchovny will next be seen in NBCâ€s Charles Manson-themed drama <em>Aquarius</em>, while Anderson has Season 3 of <em>Hannibal</em> on deck. Coincidentally, the two shows <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://tvline.com/2015/03/06/hannibal-season-3-premiere-date-nbc-return/'>will air back-to-back on Thursdays this summer</a>. News of the <em>X</em>-humation comes roughly a year after Fox jump-started another one of its marquee franchises, <em>24</em>, with a limited-series order. Although <em>Live Another Day</em> didnâ€t make much noise in the ratings, it was well-received by critics and fans alike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of <em>The X-Files</em> — one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers — and we couldnâ€t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again,†said Fox chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden in a statement. “<em>The X-Files</em> was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture — yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans, and weâ€re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully theyâ€ve been waiting for.â€</p>
