  • Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

    speaking of good television...my wife and I have like 10 episodes of Person of Interest left...We've both loved the show but I think we've both felt like its gotten a little too over the top with the epic battle that has been the over arching story line since the end of season 3?

      It has a fantastic ending. They really did a good job with it. Usually the endings of those shows fall flat. That one didn't. Root will always be one of my favorite TV characters of all time.

        I have to go back and watch this sometime. Dr. Mrs. and I watched the first season and then literally forgot about it. At the time it looked promising but kept relying on standard "24" style nonsense and was getting progressively dumber as it went along. But people responded really well to the later seasons and I'd like to try it with fresh eyes. Especially since, you know, it all came true.

          I would have just left it at the end of season 1. It was a good ending.
          I thought the first episode last week was ok. I know the locale changes up soon

            The first season of The Leftovers was great, but I wouldn't call season 2 awful. While not as good as season 1, it was also very different, which I liked.

              The sad part is now we have to start over soon on finding something else that we both enjoy and haven't watched that has a bunch of episodes.
              We've binged through Breaking Bad, Revenge, Parenthood, Making a Murder and now Person of Interest. I'm not sure if I'm missing anything but I remember those...

                Always dig out The X-Files. They just announced another new season.



                Last night The Black List tied up a lot of loose ends and Mr. Kaplan being by far my favorite Black List character it was by far the best episode of the show for me. A+

                  I've periodically thought about pulling out all the X-Files stand-alone episodes and rewatching them. In my opinion, they were usually the best episodes.

                  The Post-Modern Prometheus is still one of my favorite one hour of television ever.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    It's the Golden Age of Television, something great will come along. In the meantime I recommend Battlestar Galactica, Mad Men, House of Cards, Fargo, Stranger Things, and Game of Thrones. And of course, Westworld, the best of them all.

                      I've done Stranger Things, Game of Thrones and Westworld...she has no interest there. I think Mad Men and West Wing are where I'm leaning towards trying next...I know she's watch some mad men but we shall see.

                          Wife and I have tried Mad Men more than once and can never get into it. We're watching Schitt's Creek right now and it is exceeding expectations. Nothing mind blowing but entertaining and plenty of laughs.

                            I liked Schitts Creek also.

                              I liked the epic battle, I thought it brought a sense of gravity, of purpose, to the show whereas the first season or two was just the "victim of the week" setup. I thought it's last couple of seasons it was the best show on network tv, and definitely one of, if not the, smartest. And while Scooby will always have Root, I loved the Shaw character. The episode that introduced her was one of the best episodes on tv, maybe the best episode of POI.

                                I love the Shaw character, now that she's back after her pregnancy break, maybe I'll enjoy it more...I understand the epic and I have enjoyed it, but its getting a little over the top in some respects. Personally, I prefer the over arching storylines to the weekly stuff, but it has to feel grounded in reality.
