A few items of business

Sep 30, 2014 10:33

1. Saw The Maze Runner last week and super enjoyed it. I haven't read the books since I heard they suck, but the movie was quite entertaining. And of course Dylan O'Brien was the main draw, and he was so good! Also he looked incredibly beautiful throughout. I'm so happy there's no gel in the post-apocalyptic hellscape ( Read more... )

Yes! The whole "HEY, WE'RE BACK IN ANOTHER YEAR FROM NOW" should be called S2. If you're mid-season then you come in at January at the latest. Well, into the following year? No. And now I have to wait until April. *cries*

Yeah, seven months between halves of a season is ludicrous. I'm so over it. I also don't think shows should be eligible for Emmys when they do that, like Mad Men getting a nom this year for half a season. It's not fair.

Yay that you watched and liked "Outlander". I absolutely adore it. It's my new favorite show. Did you ever read the books?

It is evil and sadistic and cruel to make us wait until April for new episodes. Just wrong. I get taking a break over the holidays but that many months?!

No, I never read the books, but I watched with a friend who has and she was thrilled with the eps we saw. I can't wait to watch more!

Yeah, a seven-month break is ridic on so many levels. Ugh. I hate this new cable model. It's bullshit.

The show has done a super great job of capturing the spirit of the books and staying in-line with them. The writing and acting is excellent and the casting is just spot on perfect, especially the guy they got to play Jamie.

I think this is the first time Starz has split a series in half like that. Maybe they will learn from this mistake in scheduling and not repeat it with season 2.

Jaime Fraser is so pretty! So very, very pretty!

He sure is! Love him. :D

I don't know how The Good Wife has managed to maintain their quality after all this time but I'm sure glad they have. That hug was awesome. :-)

It's truly amazing that the show got BETTER in season five. I'm in awe. And man, that hug. I've rewatched it so many times, LOL.

I really need to see The Maze Runner I've heard good things.

SHIELD. DEAR GOD. THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME.

Outlander is not a mid-season hiatus it's freaking cruel and unusual punishment. I mean, apparently they've only just about finished post on episodes 9 and 10 and want to have some time off. WHATEVER, I DON'T TAKE TIME OFF FROM LOVING YOUR SHOW AND DOING MY JOB FULL TIME AT THE SAME TIME.

The Good Wife has gotten off to an insanely good start this year. I think that they've really benefited from Will's departure because it really seems as though it's a fresh start for some of the relationships. THAT HUG THOUGH.

Maze Runner was really fun! Especially if you like Dylan O'Brien. :D

Yeah, they should just finish the episodes before airing. I have no sympathy when network shows do 22 eps a season and only take a few weeks here and there. And some network shows are just as complex. A few months off, sure. But 7???? It's bullshit.

I agree about Will. I loved him, but killing him was a great move. THAT HUG MADE ME SO HAPPY.
