Anyone catch the series finale of THE SHEILD this week? goddamn that was good TV. That very last scene with Michael Chiklis sitting under those buzzing flouescent lights,,,sitting, thinking, silent except for what played through his mind...and him knowing that he could only do what he felt he had to do.
Perfect.
Tuesday nights are going to be a helluva lot emptier now.
(oh, and if Walton Goggins doesn't get an Emmy for his role as the downspiraling Shane....no matter how you might have seen his last scene coming, it begged for you to sit in your chair with your mouth hanging open.)

I'd like to go back now and re-watch the entire series of THE SHEILD from the start now. You're just getting into the series I think when Vic goes up against Cavanaugh (Forrest Whittaker)? ahhhh,,,,that shit gets goooood with the cat N mouse play. Acting is tops --- damn, it's been a couple weeks and I'm still thinking how different it's going to be not having that show around.
Have you heard anything of how it ended? I don't even want to go into it unless you know....

Thankfully RESCUE ME is back on FX and is as good as ever. Premier the other week featured a couple classic scenes with Denis Leary. The first is of a family gathering to watch homemovies after the funeral of his father which turns into a serio-comedy bit about the family dog. The second is the debut of a character played by Michael J. Fox who is currently banging Leary's exwife. Fox is said to have ad-libbed most of the scene.

that freeze-stop of that 2nd clip looks just like leary watched a bunch of stan laurel doing one of his deadpan exasperated stares at the camera after laurel does something stupid, expressing something like 'geez lookit the shit i gotta put up with!'
i can't watch these (^^^) clips at the office, but i need to beging tivo-ing that show again...i watched the first season a few years ago when i found the dvds at the library, but i imagine i don't need that much more backstory, do i?
~
in unrelated news, '24' and its tendency to push the envelope of any inkling of veracity, well it sorta went over the edge with adding 2 more of the traitorous ('eeek! a traitor in our midst')double agents last week.
i'm still watching though.
tonight there's the hawks AND the bulls on at the same time...yesssss!

It really IS good viewing doc! I love the way the writers cock between wrenching drama and the dark humor. Looking forward to more of Michael J. Fox in his role.....twisted enough, he's a paraplegic.
24 I gave up on around season 3 or 4....thought it was a great show but got too damn ridiculous with bad script and acting to draw me in anymore. I heard they brought back the daughter this season.....please tell me she caught a bullet...

yeah, random survivalists in the woods getting in on a worldwide terror plot became a bit much. no kim hasn't caught a bullet yet...though she was brought in against jack's wishes for the chance he'd go for an experimental bone marrow donation to counteract the exposure he suffered when the biological neurotoxin weapon of mass destruction had one of it's cannisters breached (after jack hijacked the truck with the trailer it was sitting on), and then jack had to force his way into the trailer to close a valve which was apparently on the 'correct' side of the leak so he could save several 10's of 100, 000 of lives. but he got a 'fatal' dose. now he's slogging by, dropping in agony every few minutes from the toxin's effects. what? THAT's farfetched?? no!!!!!  jack sent her packing in a fit of bearing overwhelming responsibility for everything bad that's happened to her and their family. tony (brought back from the dead, natch!) has now gone from 'rogue traitor'=>'jack's best buddy/invaluable usa patriot'=>'cia boss strangler/rogue traitor'....again. what? THAT's farfetched?? no!!!!! you just gots no imaginashun... ;D maybe kim will still catch a bullet though. i'm hangin' in there for that! |

Hope I can stay awake through Lost...though I'll DVR it anyhow. NOT that I'd want to lose her on the show, but I don't think it'll be Juliet. Well,,,okay, that's what I hoping anyhow. If it was, then that may lead Sawyer back into the game with Kate.
fuck....sounding like a soap opera geek here....
I'm with you on Fringe too. The show amped up its interest greatly with the last couple of episodes. Excellent sick makeup for the two in the finale who got caught when the portal to the alt. reality closed.
I've also been trying to catch up on all my saved episodes of Breaking Bad --- great stuff there too!

ooomannn,,,,Breaking Bad will hook you from episode one! VERY well done and easily one of my Top 10 shows this decade. Has a continuing storyline that is best seen from the begining of last season to have everything sink in with these striking character's backgrounds, but jump on in on it if you can!

Before he began hosting the Tonight Show I was sure that Conan O'brien would fail. I said 6 months tops. Don't know why I was so anti-Conan...probably saw a really bad monologue on Late Night and figured he's lost it. But I have to say I was wrong. O'brien is really tearing it up. His monologues still suck, but the sketches are fucking classic. 4 nights in a row he's had me hoo-hawing. I never was much of a Leno fan (he's okay) and when he was on it was a difficult choice between the Tonight Show and Letterman. But Letterman pales in comparison to Conan. He's lost it, or run out of it, or whatever it is that happened, he just isn't very funny anymore. In fact he's often downright annoying, and this from a man who has been a huge fan since the early 80s. I'm hoping Leno will do well in the 9 o'clock slot (that's Central time, btw)...I like the idea of a nightly variety show. Big gamble on the part of NBC and I hope it pays off. But for right now there's no disputing it: Conan RULES late night television.
