in one of the earlier episodes he said "I am a bad man and have done some BAD. FUCKING. THINGS." and i was like on the edge of my seat waiting for him to say that he was a motherfucker with some dark secrets

Zajac's wife got a really good set of lines too. One of the best episodes of the series, I think.

i know this is out of season but i've been watching "bored to death" s2 on dvd and i really like it. it's really low key and low stakes and jason schwartzman is just kinda jason schwartzman-y but ted danson and zach galifiniakis are both really good in it and it makes me laugh. doesn't seem like it gets a lot of attention though.
― n/a, Sunday, 4 December 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link
between bored to death and damages, ted danson is one of my favorite actors right now! haven't seen him on CSI though lol.
I like how the last several posts directly/indirectly refer to--at the end of 2011 no less--actors from "Cheers".

just caught up on Revenge and omg she has a Japanese revenge guru.
― Roz, Sunday, 4 December 2011 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
on the proper ilx Bored To Death thread we definitely talked about it totally hitting its stride and becoming genuinely funny in s2. s3 has been pretty good too but not up that level. Danson is definitely such a badass these days.

a) the pm wouldn't do it and ii) the public wouldn't want him to. I figure. Not bad though. Liked the upbeat ending - well except for his wife not getting over it. He only agreed to it when her safety was threatened!
― ledge, Sunday, 4 December 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
Well yes, I mean since 1980 the policy has been that we don't give in to terrorists, not even a little. But the turn in faces between people watching it - in that the laughter turned into revulsion within 5 seconds - was excellently done. And also that an hour later people were still watching it but wondering why they were.

damon wayans jr. is so hilarious on conan right now. "grandma wayans is the one who's responsible for that big-ass avatar tree of wayanses, shoutout to grandma wayans for never using a condom. repeatedly raw doggin'!"

Warned a friend w/ baby fever (whose little sister just had the first grandkid in the family) not to watch.

yeah really enjoyed that episode, although my wife missed it and when she got home i was like "it was really good but i dunno i'm not gonna explain what happened"

Sons of Anarchy finale fucking sucked - really need to stop giving that show a chance.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 7 December 2011 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
i just watched pt. 1 of the finale, probably won't see pt. 2 til next week because FX is the only fucking channel that puts their shows on comcast ondemand a week after airing. i thought the show was pretty awesome most of this season though, so much shit has gone down already that i kind of wouldn't begrudge them for a finale letdown.
― sandbox banned socks (Mr. Stevenson #2), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
i've really enjoyed this season, too. the finale was surprising because it was so slow-paced, and nothing really got tied up (previous seasons they've wrapped almost everything and only left a thread for the following season). is it because they got the go-ahead for the 14th ep late in the filming? pt 1 is def more action-packed.

also here are some links http://watchseries.eu/episode/sons_of_anarchy_s4_e14-131465.html
i think the movpod.net link was reasonable quality

the episode from last sunday kind of sucked, but "Representative Brody" got it back on track.

An interesting analysis of "How I Met Your Mother":
What matters is that the show is structured around a philosophy that is fundamentally this: However your life goes, that's the story of how you ended up where you are, and therefore, every turn your story took, whether sad or happy at the time, is part of how you achieved whatever joy you have.

and lol Grimm too. i got juked last week cuz the moved it to thursdays. i was way sad about that
― Carnitas, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
lol no way
you can't say anything remotely like this unless you've vetted the competition (VIP, Models Inc, MANIMAL, Automan, Passions, Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns, Horseland, Bakugan Battle Brawlers)
― OH NOES, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
couldn't watch grimm.
american horror story...way more watchable than glee i'd say. it's definitely no homeland.
― rayuela, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, even THE CAPE is a better contender for "worst show achievable" than AHS (which admittedly I've only seen two episodes of)
― OH NOES, Wednesday, 7 December 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
Grimm is hilarious to me because it's basically "what if Law & Order didn't have the 'Law' part and also had evil fairytale creatures in it"
MTV's Good Vibes is by far the worst show 2011 imo

i guess this is true, but i think the difference btw ahs and these shows is that ahs is actually p good (well except the writing) in its component parts, its just assembled seemingly on purpose to be the most terrible it possibly could be?
like passions is/was gloriously wtf but the acting is nowhere near as good as it is on ahs and its much more quickly/cheaply produced, like a two minute stretch of ahs (esp w/o dialogue) can seem like a top teir cable drama but its just so stupid as a whole
