As I tread lightly towards the finale of the GOAT in Breaking Bad, watched a few new shows this week.
The Blacklist - Looks good, lots of potential. Will see how episode 2 goes.
Hostages - Looked really good, but I struggle to see how this storyline could be made into a series. A movie might have been a better option. We'll see....

I can't believe it's all over, but all good things need to come an end.
What a brilliant series finale on Breaking Bad. One of the greatest TV shows I've ever seen along with The Sopranos. I don't think we'll see a show as good as that for a long time. I feel like re-watching it from the pilot again and analysing the themes more deeply again.

The last few years have spoiled us for TV quality, but every now and again we get a real lemon and currently that is Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom; what a shambles! After producing one of TV's finest ever series with the West Wing, Sorkin has inexplicably produced a talk-fest of unparalleled boredom.
Season one wasn't bad even though I kept hoping the female lead would fall under a train (whoops, sorry mods), but the second series degenerated into serial love interests. I mean, how many relationships can one newsroom handle?
What a shame, it had potential.

After the epic draw comes the decisive knockout!
Collingwood rules the world again and Mick Malthouse fulfils his destiny with the twenty ten premiership and can you hear the people sing!

I bought the DVDs, it's one show I could certainly watch all of again. Truly magnificent.Jezza wrote:I can't believe it's all over, but all good things need to come an end.

Cheers for that. I watched season 1 and thought it was ok. Have banked up season 2 to watch all at once. Don't think I'll bother now.Neil Appleby wrote:The last few years have spoiled us for TV quality, but every now and again we get a real lemon and currently that is Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom; what a shambles!

Yep - such a shame. How good was The West Wing?

After I finish my uni exams at the end of October, I'm going to re-watch all the episodes again.think positive wrote:I bought the DVDs, it's one show I could certainly watch all of again. Truly magnificent.Jezza wrote:I can't believe it's all over, but all good things need to come an end.

You can't get sick of this show.

Watched the last episode of Vikings last night (ep 12 series 1).
After his triumph over the mysterious Anglish and the tonnes of plunder brought back Ragnar Hairybreek's king asks him to go east to sort a troublesome Earl.
The Earl want's to talk, Ragnar's brother Rollo wants to fight even though they are seriously out-numbered and don't have orders to attack, only to intimidate and evaluate the opposition.
Ragnar sends Loki (his master ship builder) back to Gottland for instructions and then goes hunting.
He meets the Earl's sister, as she showers under a small water-fall (that scene seems last about 5 minutes).
Meanwhile, Rollo is left alone with the Earl who plays on his doubts and asks him to switch sides.
Ragnar gets it on with whats-her name but his dreams are laden with visions of raverns feasting on his village.
Loki comes back with instructions that "the Earl must back down and bugger off".
"Or what?" says the Earl.
"He didn't say or" grins Loki.
The boys start to pack up and in quiet moment the Earl again repeats his offer to the laconic Rollo.
"Yes, I will fight my brother".
I can not wait for series 2.
