Both Game of Thrones and The Borgias provided their best episode to last on Sunday, and The Killing has never been that good since the pilot!

No, I don't think it's my view or mood that have changed, the three shows were really much better this week, especially The Borgias.

For the first time the writing of The Borgias was really refined and ( Read more... )

I'm again somewhat underwhelmed by the three shows I watch on Mondays, same as last week, id est The Killing, The Borgias, and Game of Thrones, although the latter was better this week (and Tyrion was again well fleshed out by Peter Dinklage!).

I have the feeling that The Killing could be terrific but there's something missing still, and the show ( Read more... )

Looks like the man who wrote the series Game of Throne is based on, hated the finale of LOST (he called it shitty on twitter )and even more the finale of BSG, a show he was a fan of and considered superior to Babylon 5.

Me, I'm always kinda disappointed with finales, and I think that they are generally less good than the average quality of the whole ( Read more... )

It's probably very unfair to many shows that I watch them now, so soon after finishing The Wire. Brilliant shows do that, they somewhat ruin you for "regular"tv. OZ, Buffy and BSG did that to me before,...until I found Breaking Bad.

So I was pretty underwhelmed by the three shows I watched today, The Killing, The Borgias and Game of Thrones, ( Read more... )

If Jeremy Irons weren't playing Alexander VI, I am not sure that I would stick to The Borgias. The writing isn't that good, there's a lack of originality in the storytelling and you can smell the tv formula behind the prettiness. It isn't a new Rome but Iron's charisma, sex-appeal and acting are simply too good to miss.

I wonder if  Tom Fontana's ( Read more... )

I've seen Black Swan which I didn't like much*, but I didn't expect to. I gave it a try but I guess I just know myself too well.

Television is so much better than most of the movies, especially the movies there's a big fuss about.

I've decided to save the last three episodes of The Wire for a time when I will be ready to say goodbye to that brilliant ( Read more... )

There is a fifteen characters meme going around that you may have noticed:

List fifteen of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

I don't expect anyone to come and comment, as I told shadowkat67  on her LJ when she did it,  so I'm just listing not asking, and I'm listing 20 of ( Read more... )

I stole this one, about pairings, from calturner  again!

WARNING: I only used tv shows or tv movies in my answer and I mostly cheated since I rarely came up with just one answer...

01. Favorite het pairing:

Still Spike/Buffy although Helo/Athena (BSG) or Desmond/Penny (LOST) are also big  favourites of mine.

Since it's pretty quiet on the tv front, I have begun a The Wire marathon. I meant to watch it for a while but it's a 5 season series and I had already current shows to watch. But now that I've started, I feel that I won't be able to stop.

I'm 4 episodes into season 1 and loving it. I'm already hooked.

The Wire reminds me of The Shield a lot, with a ( Read more... )

I usually dislike the lists you find on the internet or rather I always disagree with them, but I can go behind this one that I found through whedonesque .

I would have added an episode from FRINGE (probably "The Plateau") but I'm rather satisfied, and  "Fly" was indeed an unforgettable moment of television.

1. Fly, “Breaking Bad.” Two guys spend a night in a ( Read more... )
