[quote name='taniwharugby']after enjoying most of the final series of Lost so far, last nights was rubbish!! 
 
wow, so we now know where the black smoke came from, we didnt really need to know where it came from, it is black smoke that kills people FFS! 
 
seemed just a way to pad up the final series to me...[/QUOTE] 
 
the pool of light thing was pathetic. it looked like a paper mache playboy grotto. as a stand alone bit of tv, had it had nothing to do with rest of Lost, it was ok. but as a tie in it was shit!

[quote name='taniwharugby']finished S3 of Deadwood, not as good as the 1st 2 and finished like there was to be another series, but it got canned...disappointing end really.[/QUOTE] 
 
I think Ian McShane actually showed up for the first day of shooting for season four before he actually found out it had been canned . Apparently he was pissed when he got the news .

I reckon this entire series could be a stand alone, but the episode last night was pathetic, I am sure it has some bearing (hope) but it felt like buying time to me.

Didn't it give the big reveal about what they are guarding? I thought that was the whole point of the episode.

kinda spoiler 
 
 
 
 
kinda, a little cave with a shiny light....

Kirwan

But referred to the source of all creation, so shown in a naff way but still an important plot point.

taniwharugby

yes and no, not sure how importnat it will turn out to be in terms of the plot...think it was more to try and show how the black smoke was created, and why...

I figured it was to show the parameters of the not-Locke not being able to hurt people directly, where he and Jacob came from (throwing up the question of where CJ came from), how he was able to turn into black smoke, and why, and what the point of the candidates was. 
 
It was always wishy-washy why the island needed a protector. I thought it was to keep not-Locke on the island, but that's been shown to be a side effect, not the main reason for the protectors.

Kirwan

And the creation light was important enough for CJ to kill everyone that had seen it too.

taniwharugby

didnt the mother also say they could not hurt one another? 
 
yes welll..still BS <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> 
 
Best bit though, 3 more episodes until the suffering ends!!

taniwharugby

picked up Sons of Anarchy (from recommendations on here) upto E4, and is pretty good so far. 
 
Katey Segal and Ron Perlman are both pretty good in it.

see there is the 3rd to last ep of Lost on wednesday and the final 2 are on Saturday night at 2130...strange, I had to see this on the news on a peice of some Lost nuts who decided to watch it form it's inception culminating in the final ep in the US!!

Kirwan

Halfway through the final episode.....

taniwharugby

after last nigths episode, I can see the grand finale 2 hour episode is gonna be even more of a let down than I thought it would be...at least it is almost over.

Is anyone else following The Pacific on TV1? I have just started watching on my recorder. Four episodes in and I'm not connected the way I was with BoB. They seem to be trying to capture too much information; the characters lack richness and depth, so I hope this improves

Get ready for further disappointment there Canes. Sad to say but I thought it was pretty poor tv, narratively and visually. I think the producers pissed the money away on the Gold Coast in between filming in Oz.

A bit harsh Nepia. It certainly wasn't as good as BoB and it probably comes down to not connecting with the characters as much. The last 3 episodes were the best for me, plenty of emotion and action. Worth watching, but maybe only a 6/10

Finished the first series of Sons of Anarchy. 
 
Pretty good series, although I gotta say, so much of Jax's demeanour, including his clothing, doesnt seem to fit with the Biker role he is in, although I guess that's the point. 
 
To me, a few of the characters playing the parts probably dont quite fit, for me OP and Tig are probably 2 of the better cast characters (in terms of thier actions and look) in Samcro 
 
Gemma (Katie Segal) is excellent though.

Just finished watching Pacific and felt it was OK without reaching the heights of BoB. Saw more of Sledge and Basilone in the final few eposodes and their stories were a little more rich but overall most characters were painted with a very light brush. Do any Ferners know Peter Jackson? Perhaps after finishing with the Dambusters he could try and do a NZ BoB. How about one on the maori Battalion anyone?

Yep, i finally watched the end as well, and overall i have to say i was very disappointed. There were some cool battle scenes, but overall, as a series, it was pretty average television (and that is without the easy comparison to BoB).
