Amen. Amanda is a devil. Percy is a genius. He once said, "How can who call themselves oversight not have a foresight". He was in custody yet he was consulted.
Mentalist is cool, I've seen people a few episodes from season 1.
Watching Anarchy Sons -S1.....still a mystery on why good girls love bad guys.....I think it is good to be a badt guys

My Thoughts On "Revenge".

If it sounds like I'm being harsh, it's because I'm being harsh, but that's only because Revenge used to be a series that surprised me with its twists and turns and now it's a series of bad ideas strung together by familiar faces just going through the motions. It's like the writers bought a Soap Opera for Dummies book and all of the originality of the series has been sucked away and replaced with boring cliches. At this point, I'd trade any of those plots for Conrad's faked Huntington's Disease story because despite being mostly unbelievable, at least it didn't reek of desperation.

The entire foundation of "Revenge" is about not letting grudges go, whether we're talking Emily's revenge plan, or Victoria and Charlotte hating Emily for something she did and attempting to make her life miserable. I'm not saying that's healthy, because obviously those three women are all in need of some therapy, but this series was built on basically never letting sh*t go. If I thought this was the series purposefully attempting to show us another side to the human psyche in which people aren't manipulative and don't hold grudges for years upon years, I'd be the first person to stand up and congratulate it.

But it's not, it's just a plot device meant to make Emily flail a bit, so I'm calling shenanigans on Sarah, who has every right to hate Daniel and his family forever, for jumping back into bed with Daniel after two weeks.

Wow, that got a little ranty. But I can only take so many rushed storylines before I snap. This entire series is beginning to feel a lot like "Glee". And that's never a good thing. Faked pregnancies and storylines with absolutely zero build up are never a good thing. Faking a pregnancy will never turn out well, because there are only two ways for that story to end: Either Emily fakes nine months of pregnancy during which Daniel never touches her and then she finds a baby on the street to call their child, or she has to fake a miscarriage.

I don't hate "Revenge", but I am very disappointed in the direction it has taken. I like that Emily is flailing and grasping at straws because her plan is falling apart; it adds a bit of drama we've never seen before, and it means she's human and doesn't have superhero revenge powers in which everything goes pretty much to plan because she's Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke. But the emotional stakes that are supposedly thwarting her relationship with Daniel aren't there to make me care about the outcome either way.

Give me some backstory, let me get to know Sarah and maybe I'll care about her relationship with Daniel. But right now, the series is lobbing unoriginal idea after unoriginal idea at us and expecting us to gasp in awe and shock. But I can't. And I won't.

The show died with Conrad.I miss that man

No, I didn't say House of cards is not interesting, I only said it's overrated. The way people talked about it made me to rush into it; it was cool to watch but nothing out of ordinary happened. At least it's way better than The newsroom in my opinion.


I've watched both house of cards and the newsroom and disagree with what you said. The newsroom won the best series opener at the Emmys. That s1e1 endeared me like no other and if you watched the first episode like me withsome people here and never liked it, then you won't like the series at all #Fact

Anyway to each his opinion

I watched HOC pilot last year and I thought at the time that this series is too dull but when I started engaging my self into some political oriented series, I decided to watch HOC and I watched all the episodes at a stretch. After watching the last episode I agreed Kevin Spacey deserves an Emmy morealso the series itself deserves an Emmy...

I have this feeling that Homeland is going to have their own spin-off series that may talk about either of the following:
1. Brody before navy, marriage and Alqueada capture/brainwash
2. The life of Brody's family with Mikey
3. Carrie before CIA

I go with no 1 cos people will die to find out how he was really brainwashed

I hope somebody somewhere is preparing a series for the movie "The Godfather" just the way "Nikita" has a movie & a series......I just hope that "the Sopranos & Boardwalk empire is like the film " Godfather

Mehn 'm loving SOA...now watching S3
I really really truly enjoyed S2 episode 13 the ending part & God I loved the sound track that went with scene from the time Clay heard Abel was kidnapped to the scene where Jax screamed with pain.....no wonder FX started showing their logo from S3 cos the end part of S2 was awesome

SOA.....loving it



Woah woah never knew that the guy in the pic below is actually dead in real life/time until I browsed through an old American forum website...the guy try o even sated Katie perry for a year or two maybe that was why his character was cancelled in S2

Half-Sack grin He was the best prospect! I don't understand what you are implying. . .his character was cancelled 'cuz he dated Katie Perry? undecided Season 2 finished a long time ago (2009) and he died two years ago(2012).

After browsing. . .have you found out about Kurt Sutter(Creator) ? His relationship to Katey Segal (Gemma)- Her real age? I will leave this unanswered if you don't know yet. grin

His character was killed off because the actor didn't want to continue playing the character. Seriously, it wasn't hard to google, there was need to speculate. He dated Perry between 2005 - 2006, the relationship ended two years before he played the character, no correlation whatsoever.

No, what I mean is that he character was cancelled cos of his death but you just corrected me that there was a 3 years gap from the time S2 ended to the time of his demise.......

Yes I did that before starting the series.....almost 5-6 years gap like Usher & his ex-wife of 8 years gap...... Nigerians like Dare Alade joined the club long time ago





Can anybody help me with that particular sound track (name of song & artist) they used when Jax of SOA was pursuing the Irish guy that stole baby Abel?

That wasnt the reaction i expected.What intrigued me was the role Kurt Stutter plays in SOA.He is Otto Delaney - Katey Segal's(Gemma Teller) legal husband. . .and plus Gemma is quite hot for a 60 year old woman.You dare not call her ma'am grin

The 100. Can't believe I left it sitting 'idle' on my hard drive for so long before even clicking it. Very very engaging...looking forward to January 21st and Feb (for Vikings). Hate these breaks. Wish they just put out the whole thing once and for all. Scientists should carry out an extensive research on the negative effects of breaks in releasing nice productions like this and send it to the production companies lol

Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter Lyrics
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
