I would

KILLS THE DUDE!!!!!!?????????

Crack was smoked when this plot was written.

:lol

I love that plotline, not only is it hilarious but the writers clearly learnt their lesson after that season too. Less (melodramatic unrealistic bullshit) is most certainly more.
I do think that other than that the rest of the season is fine, other than a few other shitty subplots as has been pointed out, thankfully the resolutions are mostly well done so that makes up for it somewhat.

He also promised to watch the first episode of Doctor Who season 5, which I assume he hasn't. Solo fail.

:lol I actually thought it was kind of funny that some fights lasted almost an entire season, made it easier to miss a couple of episodes.

But thanks for reminding me, this will come out on BR right?

Haha, yep. I probably could've lived with the
murder *if* it was in self defense, but the dumping of the body/cover-up on top it?
So frakkin dumb. It's a testament to the writers and especially the acting of both Plemons and Palicki that they were able to dig themselves out of that mess. Season 3 is a wonderful bounce back in quality and it has continued with season 4 and 5.

Done with Mad Men s1&2. Don't really know what to think I really like some parts of it and for some parts I just don't care. I have to say that the show became increasingly more interesting during the second season. Don's walk about could have been dealt in fewer eps tho. I have already ordered s3&4 and even though I'm still bit neutral about the show I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

I guess I'll just have to put lost into my backlog again :D well maybe next year.

I honestly was pretty on the fence about the show during it's first 2 seasons, I could certainly see why people loved it so much, it just never did that much for me. But everything clicked for me in season 3, and I genuinely love it to bits now. Maybe it'll be the same for you too.

The schoolteacher in Season 3 is a FOX. That's what's up.

Firefly Update

I just finished War Stories, episode ten, it's the first one I didn't enjoy. Really over the top, poorly written, terribly directed, bad all round.

I think Kaylee and River are going to hook up. There's a strange undercurrent of sexual liberation about this show, it's kind of both hot and creepy.

I hope the remainder of the show is a little more human drama and less absurd hostage shit, there's not much left.

Picked up Dollhouse Season 1 on Blu-ray thanks to Amazon's Black Friday $10 deal.

Watched the first two episodes and I definitely like the show. It's been a long time since I've wanted to watch episodes back to back.

But man, did they have to put so many trailers for different movies before the actual disc starts up? It's a pain.

Great lineup of old cult comedy on IFC next year:
Onion A|V Club said:
IFC adds The Larry Sanders Show, Mr. Show, other awesome shows

Cementing its status as keeper of the flame for TV’s greatest cult comedy series, IFC will add the complete runs of The Larry Sanders Show, The Ben Stiller Show, Mr. Show, and the hilarious Jay Mohr-starring comedy Action to an already solid roster that includes Arrested Development, Freaks And Geeks, Undeclared, and Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Even better, the network will run these together in one 90-minute orgy of awesomeness three nights a week, with host Scott Aukerman (Comedy Death-Ray) presiding over new interviews with the writers, creators, and stars of each show along with the comedians who have been influenced by them, which is to say everyone. IFC’s new comedy block launches on January 3.

I gotta say, ever since I finished the series, there isn't a day that goes by in which the theme song of The West Wing doesn't play in my head.

TVbytheNumbers has the press release.
“The Killing” ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including the detectives assigned to the case, the victim’s grieving family and the suspects. Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics as it follows politicians connected to the case. As the series unfolds, it becomes clear that there are no accidents; everyone has a secret, and while the characters think they’ve moved on, their past isn’t done with them.

“The Killing” stars Mireille Enos (“Big Love”) as Sarah Linden, who is the lead homicide detective that investigates the death of Rosie Larsen. Other castings include: Billy Campbell (“Once and Again,” Enough) as Darren Richmond, Seattle’s City Council President, running for Mayor;Michelle Forbes (“True Blood”) as Mitch Larsen, Rosie’s mother; Joel Kinnaman (Snabba Cash) as Stephen Holder, an ex-narc cop who joins the homicide division in the investigation to find Rosie Larsen’s killer; and Brent Sexton (W., In the Valley of Elah) as Stan Larsen, Rosie’s father.

Just finished season 3 of The IT Crowd, damn if this isn't one of the funniest shows out there. Moss is probably my favorite character on television!

I didn't recognize Forbes' name but her roles and face are very recognizable. Still don't recognize the other guy, but his filmography seems extensive.

:lol this show. It really started to piss me off about five episodes later when [U]every [/U]god damn episode had cliffhanger ending! I kept up till episode 13 and then I missed one episode and I didn't care at all then I realised I don't have to watch it :) My friends followed the show religiously so I saw episode from here and there in the later seasons and I'm actually kinda curious, did the guard and the latino dude [spoiler]bust out from that panamanian jail[/spoiler] ?

Fair enough. I caught the majority of season 1 and liked it, and then I caught parts of the later seasons. I never thought it was phenomenal though.

I watched Prison Break over the summer. The first season is great. After that it's less good, but still entertaining. It is extremely ridiculous at times and really over the top, but if that doesn't bother you it's a good time I think.

I just started watching Chuck. Found the first season on DVD for $15. Seems good so far. They had the second season for $15 too so I may just go grab it as well.

To me it was.

Probably because I've always been interested in such a storyline.

T-bag, Bellick and Lechero get caught. That's the pedo guy, guard from the first season and the black dude.
That's the part where I really started stressing because I was so engrossed :lol

Lots of other very tense moments too.

AMC's drama trifecta -- 'Mad Men,' 'Rubicon' and 'Breaking Bad.'

'Lost,' ABC
'Parks and Recreation,' NBC

I wonder how similar this will be with the danish show. I guess I could still give it a look.
