Anyone still watching Alcatraz or The River? I thought both this week were pretty meh, though I'll give props to The River for creating some genuinely tense moments.

 

re: Alcatraz, the whole land mine thing at the end made no sense. If he was able to get off the thing (probably impossible) with just sticking a knife on it, why not go get a bunch of heavy weights and put it on the knife, then run away? Hell, the defuser guy had enough time to take it apart, cut some wires, and hold it up in the air before he was blown to bits. You're telling me he could haven't done the same thing but run away in time to not be killed? Pretty dumb. And i'm still not sure how/why Big Boobs and Hurley show up at every crime scene in the city under the assumption it's a case for them.

 

To the first part, you can't just leave a bomb on the beach.

 

The the last part, if bombs were going off in the city, odds are pretty good it is one of your guys.

So what? Put a brick on a string to hold down the pressure switch, run like hell, pull brick off once everyone is at a safe distance.

Yeah that's what I was getting at. They could have safely detonated it. Pick it up, cut the wire and throw the thing into the ocean. My wife seems to think the defuser guy was just being cocky. But that's still pretty weak and unbelievable.

I don't know any bomb squad guys personally, but I'm guessing that it's one of those professions where you never act cocky while doing it.

I wonder what happened.

I wonder what happened.

The WSJ has suggested it was a personal family emergency for Mr. Colbert. As he has kept his family quite private despite his public face, I wouldn't be shocked if that's the last detail we got.

"Community" has cast Giancarlo Esposito — aka Gustavo "The Chicken Man" Fring from the last few seasons of "Breaking Bad" — in an upcoming episode.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. I thought Community was cancelled though? I've always wanted to watch that show, mainly because of Chevy Chase and because I love Childish Gambino aka. Donald Glover's music.

Being on hiatus != cancelled

Being on hiatus != cancelled

 

It will be back in the spring and hopefully NBC cancells Whitney and that Chelsea show and bring back Community next fall.

Duke Silver = top notch saxophone player

My roommates and I have been hooked on The Walking Dead for the past week. Really good show.

Ditto. I got home around 9:30 from work and figured I would just watch it today.

 

While I was home yesterday afternoon, I couldn't stop watching Friend Zone on MTV. It was so bad but I loved watching these people profess their love for their opposite sex best friends and getting shot down. I went through that when I was young and want them to feel the pain I experienced.

Pretty sure that's a rite of passage for young men. I feel bad for dudes that never get past that.

Season 1 = very good. Season 2 = very frustrating.

I have a huge crush on the Evil Queen/Regina Mills (played by Lana Parrilla) in Once Upon a Time.

Episode 1 of Season 1, Episodes 1 and 6 of season 2 = very good. Remaining episodes = terrible.

 

Fixed.

First episode of Awake is on Hulu.

Sweet thanks for the heads up. Is there a reason it's on Hulu now? Will the pilot air on TV at some point, or did it already?

Portlandia's 2nd season has been a bit of a disappointment.

I watched Awake. It is definitely an interesting show. Kind of slow, but that's probably just because they had to set up all the storylines and whatnot. I REALLY hope the show doesn't end up "He really is the one who died in the accident and none of what happened is real"

Yes, that's right, It's Saturday night, and I'm sitting here watching Transformers.

 

The 1986 movie. It's on DirecTV channel 294.

Anyone watch The Colony? I randomly chose it tonight, and I am obsessed. It's so damn interesting, and I love learning all these different tricks and tips on how to survive. It's very compelling. I see there are 2 seasons on Netflix, but I wonder if they will or have already done a second set of 10 "survivors" who do this experiment.

 

EDIT: Just wiki'd it. I guess S2 is a whole new set of people in a new environment and situation. Sweet!

I watched an episode and a half of season 1 and have zero desire to see any more.

I started watching it on netflix recently also. I really cant lead myself to believe this isnt 100% scripted. So far its entertaining but everything is just so convenient, I dont see how its not fake.
