Can I just say I love how many new shows there are that I’m interested in checking out! I know I’m not likely to fall in love with most of them, but it’s that pleasure of anticipation, in d/l a bunch of pilots and wriggling with excitement over what each may bring and speculating as to its promise. I’ve seen and reviewed The Secret Circle, Revenge ( Read more... )

a gifted man, emma watson, terra nova, unforgettable

You wouldn't wait for the father of your three children while he was in jail? O.o That said I agree with your mixed feelings on Jim. He is SUCH an ass. I am so sick of main male characters who are like this. And yeah, I hope they have a good explanation about why they decided to have/keep Zoe ( ... )

LOL, well, the thing is, do we know how long he was meant to be in jail for? Because he broke out after a couple years, but if he was in there for 10 or 20 or life, yeah, I’d be moving on. But the thing is, I don’t picture myself ever in that position, and I imagine it’s different with a couple with children, you have more to link yourself to that person, but yeah.

He is SUCH an ass. I am so sick of main male characters who are like this.

*high five* When will writers learn that this alpha male macho BS just isn’t appealing? I get so angry whenever characters- usually, 99% of the time male- lose their cool and go beat up on people and just have the exact wrong and unjustified or unreasonable reaction. SMH.

I hope they have a good explanation about why they decided to have/keep Zoe.

I cannot think of anything, short of needing to harvest organs, like with that Abigail Breslin and Cameron Diaz movie.

To be honest I was even more annoyed with ( ... )

Yeah, when they got there he was talking to his wife about it when they were wondering if they'd make him carry out the rest of his six year sentence. For me in that situation it would definitely depend on what the guy did and if we did have kids I'd probably be more inclined to wait so long as his crime wasn't something unforgivable. ::shrugs ( ... )

Oh, six years? That's not too bad. I was thinking if it was decades, IDK I'd put my life on hold that long...and if he was a terrorist or something, deal-breaker, but yeah, this situation doesn't sound so bad and they obv love each other, which makes sense that she'd be busting him out of jail and all. I draw the line there- I'm not gonna do something illegal and wind up behind bars myself!

I wonder if they'll ever explain Zoe's existence- don't get me wrong, I adore her and I'm glad she's a character in the show, but it's kinda random. I guess they wanted the drama of him being a convict but didn't want to make him 'unsympathetic' and so had it be a ridic crime that nobody would condemn him form?

UGH UGH UGH. Jim. Please. The paranoia is just insane there. I get him worrying the guy has feelings for his wife, but saying there's a whole conspiracy going on whereby he recruits her for the SOLE PURPOSE of hooking up with her...no, wait, to have the chance of hooking up with her! Absolutely ridiculous ( ... )

I'm surprised I don't feel any shippy feelings toward Taylor/Sky. I would like to see their dynamic explored more though in a father/daughter or mentor-y type relationship.

Oh, you’re surprised? Why’s that? Are you usually into wrong, deviant ships like me? oh wait :P nah, I don’t expect the writers to make this canon or even to explore the possibility of it with subtext or anything, but I’d be satisfied if they did pursue the mentor-y angle. I liked the hints of it in the pilot, come on, her seeking him out like that suggests they have some sort of understanding, I don’t see the other kids approaching him in that manner! And because she’s such a popular and smart, capable young lady, it’d be cool if he was training her for a leadership role or something, IDK! I just like them in scenes together.

I'm really hoping this show hits its stride and ends up staying around for more than a season. And it's nice to talk to someone about it 'cause no one else I know is watching it!a) WORD. I love this show, even though it’s early days yet, ( ... )
