lydia - ricin was cool... and yes, that explanation to her was unnecessary.. wondering how he managed to mix ricin into the sugar sachet.. the one which shes gonna pick... sorry i stop my nitpicking

as Walt points out Lydia is procedural/almost mechanic in doing things, she visits that restaurant on a particular day/sits in the same table/takes Stevia. with Walt always scheming, he might have came in early and sneaked in the ricin Smile

The finale did not really do justice to the awesomeness of the show
-Vince was basically checking off a lot of boxes one by one
-And every single scene in the finale (save for the one with the family) was to appease the fans. Playing to the gallery.

agree that finale was tad neat/tidy. but not doing justifiable? were you expected much darker ending? like Jeese getting to pull
the trigger on Walt/Walt family being hurt due to some of Walt's actions/Walt repenting it?

luckily got a chance to rewatch season 5... three eps done... without a boring a scene..
just cant this out of my mind..

Michael AF Wed Oct 02, 2013 2:20 pm

It makes perfect sense for Lydia to call Todd to check on whether Walt is taken care of or not.

Lydia is a nagging bitch. When it comes to leaving no loose ends she even nags mike to get rid of all the 9 witnesses in s5. When Mike refuses she even puts a hit on mike. Mike thinks against killing her(again a half measure) and joins walt which ultimately leads to his demise.

More than anything I guess I was expecting them to throw in a surprise or two. The money laundering part was a surprise, true but they almost killed it by introducing Badger/Pete right after. I mean yeah, it was too cool for fans (read us) but wasn't quite effective.

So yeah, that one event after the other, and them happening without any hiccups did not work for me. I wouldnt have minded if they had stretched this to two episodes with some smart (saayans, anyone?) scenes. Take Gus' death for example, till the last minute until we hear a different sound from the bell, we dint know what was going to happen. I mean THAT was missing.

Uncle Jack/Gus fit right in Smile

if you guys are into Homeland, check out 'The Americans' on FX, Reagon era/Cold war/KGB couple in DC with FBI as their neighbor. actually it reminds me more of BB in so many ways. me got sucked into this show with Fleetwood Mac's Tusk in the pilot

concur they have set the standards so high, my other gripe was after so much that transpired WW/Jeese with Walt even going as far as setting up a hit out on Jeese but there is no closure as such to their relationship in the finale. guess when the dust settles we might warm up to the finale.

I've heard about "The Americans" series. Should watch it.

Any good community pages in fb for tracking tv shows????. Any recommendations from anybody?

Michael AF Sun Oct 06, 2013 6:08 pm

The pilot is good. Very Happy

Michael AF Sun Oct 06, 2013 7:23 pm

ABC has betrayal going on. Extra marital affairs, infedility blah bllah blah but the trailer was nice.

Hey Michael , hope you didn't take my earlier comments personally ! Check out FX series called Bridge and American Horror Stories.
Both are pretty gripping

KGB and their disguises the clap

, spy genre is making a bit of comeback, Aaron Paul was to star in HBO's 'The Missionary' about KGB in 1960s Berlin which didn't get the greenlight hope some other network picks it up.

AHS- have seen whatever is up on Netflix, cheesy fun, from what I remember it was too goofy to be taken seriously, it was like sketch comedy at times, heard S2 is vastly superior to S1.

Michael AF Mon Oct 07, 2013 12:59 pm

Yeah that's good stuff man. Keri Russell(Kadasiya MI-3 la paathathu ivalai) a solid female spy character. Philip, her husband nice. FBI - Counter intelligence officer as a neighbor. Woof, that's just throwing 2 tigers into a lion den to fight!!

What else you got? Cool

Wizzy Mon Oct 07, 2013 7:30 pm

^for an non-hbo show there is lot of skin show not that I'm complaining :noteeth: but FX is really pushing the boundaries with this show.

Michael AF Tue Oct 08, 2013 6:14 pm

Episode 2 - The clock. Not bad Smile

. Episode 3 now.

dilbert Thu Oct 10, 2013 6:11 am

I resisted myself from not watching House of Cards. Finally ended up watching it wow Kevin spacey is brilliant what an actor he is, Netflix literally kicked big networks in there faces with this series.Very well constructed show. It was like watching a 13+ hrs of stunning screenplay. Its always difficult to keep audiences engaged especially in a political drama , because most part when show dips in to political lingo people will loose interest. They managed to pull surprises in every installment.

Now I am eagerly waiting for Season 2

Michael AF Fri Oct 11, 2013 4:37 pm

Ok, I am professing my love for Jennifer Lawrence. The lady's personality is just too good to resist. Smile

'The Walking Dead' season 4 premiere ratings enormous

Sunday’s zombie drama return delivered a huge 16.1 million viewers and an even-more-stunning 8.2 rating among adults 18-49. That’s up 30 percent in the demo from the show’s previous high (the season 3 finale).
The Walking Dead also once again has crushed the broadcast networks: This is the largest telecast of the fall in the adult demo, beating all entertainment shows. In fact, if you combine all the broadcast dramas that aired Sunday night — Once Upon a Time, Revenge, Betrayal, The Good Wife and The Mentalist — they still don’t match The Walking Dead‘s demo rating.

AMC claims the hour also has topped all sports telecasts this fall. That would be a rather enormous accomplishment (last fall The Walking Dead “only” beat all entertainment shows, not including sports). And that claim certainly appears to be accurate, at least if you define “fall” as the official start of the broadcast season in late September — some broadcast pre-season NFL games were higher than an 8.2. Also, we’re told last night’s Cowboys vs. Redskins telecast on NBC could possibly top The Walking Dead when its final national ratings are released tomorrow. Still, the very fact a cable network series is even in close contention for this claim is pretty incredible, as well as the show continuing to beat all the other entertainment programs.
“Sincere thanks to the fans, who have welcomed The Walking Dead back for its fourth season with the highest-rated episode in the show’s history,” said AMC President Charlie Collier.
Post-episode chat show The Talking Dead also set a record with 5.1 million viewers, including 3.3 million in the demo. EW has a must-read post-premiere Q&A with creator Robert Kirkman here

Netflix now for Only EUR7.99 a month. And with a free trial month. Wow.

Wizzy Fri Oct 25, 2013 7:50 am

vaaya kittu mani,kannaveri kannyans here unabashingly abuse Netflix free trail by switching their cc Mad

what makes the Netflix deal even more sweet is you could access their library across various regions world over, if 'Sweden'
is the region for movies, north/south America is the region for tv shows. you may want to bookmark this site http://www.moreflicks.com/
with Netflix/Hulu+/Prime, my d/l are almost nil except for Hbo/Canal+ exclusives.

2040 Fri Oct 25, 2013 12:53 pm

all thanks to u wizzy..
i can access the site from all the regions now..
only grouse is, it looks like they are not revising their movie bank often.. some very good movies from the old are missing.. wish someone from their team takes the imdb top 250 seriously..

Michael AF Fri Oct 25, 2013 4:57 pm

Use to pay 9.99$ for Netflix. My sweet darling. It was the best thing that happened since youtube.
