V is unwatchable.

2November 15th, 2009 during 7:46 pm 2liberal

V mislaid me unequivocally fast also. The suspicion of romances in between lizards in tellurian skin as good as lizards only doesn’t work. There will be the lot of tragedy about who is an visitor as good as who isn’t nonetheless the FBI representative son as good as the black male romances only don’t work IMHO.

lizards in tellurian skin as good as lizards

whoops humans as good as lizards in tellurian skin is what i meant. NO revise duty available.

I’m finished with V. Still examination Flashforward, nonetheless they improved get it together soon.

5November 15th, 2009 during 7:51 pm smiley

My breeze lottery array in 1973 was 007 (true fact). Then we became #7. If it wasn’t for #6, we would never have done it out alive.

6November 15th, 2009 during 7:58 pm Aaron

I am not giving up upon Flashforward yet. we will give them during slightest the good of the dishonesty for the season. The early seasons of Seinfeld kind of sucked, as good – not anywhere nearby as good as it became in after years. So we would disagree which infrequently the uncover as good as the writers need time to figure things out.

7November 15th, 2009 during 8:03 pm gbear

From the reduced preview we listened upon Fresh Air final friday, The Prisoner is starting to suck. They’re we do the small critical messing with the goods.

8November 15th, 2009 during 8:06 pm Bret

I consternation if Jesus Caviezel knows which Ian McKellen is gay. we dishonesty he’d be as good happy about that.

9November 15th, 2009 during 8:06 pm Max

I am taping The Prisoner, as good as have identical to 6 Flash Forward eps upon the dvr. Everytime we begin to watch, we find I’m only not in to it.

I have proposed examination the initial deteriorate of Lie to Me. It’s unequivocally good.

Tonight, I’m starting to watch online the Obama townhall from China. It will be streaming upon whitehouse.gov around 8:45pm San Francisco time. I’m not converting it to eastern time, we fuckers regularly get it in your conditions as good as we in the west regularly have to do the math.

10November 15th, 2009 during 8:08 pm highbrow fate

i already hatred the flashbacks with the loft with the basketball hoop – it screams yuppie.

11November 15th, 2009 during 8:09 pm Rheinhard

Well, during slightest he quiescent from something.

I can see where they longed for to suggest the purpose of the aged escapee in the initial integrate of mins to Patrick McGoohan. He even had the same costume, down to the board loafers!

12November 15th, 2009 during 8:09 pm demkat620

@Max: Well, that’s what we in the west get for regularly being late to the party.

13November 15th, 2009 during 8:10 pm Donald G

After final weeks episode, we find which we have positively no serve seductiveness in the V remake. we find conjunction the characters nor the storyline in any approach engaging.

14November 15th, 2009 during 8:10 pm Suicidal Zebra

Watched the brand brand brand brand brand new Doctor Who as good as Top Gear today. Enjoyed them the lot, even if watchful for 6 weeks compartment the subsequent Who turns out to be some-more of the flog in the nuts than we was expecting.

15November 15th, 2009 during 8:15 pm Maxwel

I determine with all the above. V is ridiculous as good as boring. Too bad, we stop the strange to be riveting as good as scary.

16November 15th, 2009 during 8:23 pm Tim F.

FWIW, I09 says which we will have some-more fun examination weed grow.

17November 15th, 2009 during 8:23 pm You Don’t Say

I favourite the initial dual FF episodes, nonetheless given afterwards it only gets worse as good as worse any week. we watched the final 10 mins this week as good as which competence be the final we watch of it. (Am unequivocally enjoying Community.)

Go Colts!

18November 15th, 2009 during 8:26 pm highbrow fate

wouldn’t we during slightest take the canteen if you’re starting to go in to the dried again?
just asking.

19November 15th, 2009 during 8:27 pm RedKitten

@Maxwel: we had such tall hopes for V—I desired it as the kid. But yeah, we watched the initial episode, as good as was underwhelmed. The second part came on, we watched the initial fifteen minutes, as good as afterwards went behind to personification Crush the Castle.

20November 15th, 2009 during 8:29 pm Rick Taylor

If we have the possibility I’ll watch it, nonetheless I’m starting in skeptical. The Prisoner was Patrick McGoohan’s strange creation, infused with his personal vision; the reconstitute to me doesn’t have many sense, during slightest upon the surface. Usually we consider it’s improved if people emanate brand brand brand brand brand new functions rsther than than redoing ideally good comparison ones, nonetheless that’s generally loyal with such an particular work as this one.

21November 15th, 2009 during 8:30 pm South of I-10

I am recording The Prisoner. I’ll begin it once Little South goes to bed, which won’t be long, judging by the volume of yawning starting on.

22November 15th, 2009 during 8:36 pm Max

Speaking of observation stuff…

Did any the single see 2012? It did large box bureau nonetheless we haven’t review any reviews.

Does Lloyd Dobler get Diane during the end?

@Bret:

I consternation if Jesus Caviezel knows which Ian McKellen is gay. we dishonesty he’d be as good happy about that.

Like many of the hypocrits, we feel certain he doesn’t give dual shits about it given he’s removing paid to work with Ian.

24November 15th, 2009 during 8:43 pm RandomChick

I’m starting to give Flash Forward the integrate of some-more episodes, nonetheless so distant I’ve been unequivocally disappointed. For the “mystery”, it certain seems to be not in in thespian tension.

The impression growth is flattering not in as well. we keep asking myself, “why am we ostensible to caring about these people again?”

25November 15th, 2009 during 8:53 pm Nicole

Really? Did they only have the Twin Towers analogy? Argh.

26November 15th, 2009 during 8:59 pm RandyH

Yeah, we consider the approach out of the encampment is to follow the dual towers, which is possibly the poor 9/11 anxiety or Number 2 is Gandalf.

29November 15th, 2009 during 9:07 pm Lesley

Anything with Ian McKellen in it is firm to have punch + AMC produces Mad Men as good as Breaking Bad – both excellent.

V is unequivocally bad. Suitable for 10 year olds.

Flash Forward is straddling the fence. It’s got sufficient torment to keep me interested.

30November 15th, 2009 during 9:14 pm Cat Lady

@Cat Lady:

With all the disagreeable smaht cold kids we wished we were.

GAME. ON.

31November 15th, 2009 during 9:15 pm adolphus

Does this remind any the single else of Dark City? Kinda?

32November 15th, 2009 during 9:28 pm RandyH

This film is beautifully shot. we consternation what locations they used? Has the South Africa feel to it.

33November 15th, 2009 during 9:30 pm John T

My date as good as we watched the initial twenty or thirty mins of the initial part of V prior to losing interest. But I’m essentially beholden for the bad behaving as good as inhuman writing, since if the uncover had been some-more engaging the dual of us competence have kept the hands to ourselves.

34November 15th, 2009 during 9:31 pm Comrade Scrutinizer

@Suicidal Zebra: we favourite the brand brand brand brand brand new Dr. Who the lot, nonetheless we didn’t identical to the wait for for for it. They’re environment up for the torpedo finale. At slightest this time we won’t have to wait for for months for it to come on.

Getting the TG ep now…

@Maxwel:

I determine with all the above. V is ridiculous as good as boring. Too bad, we stop the strange to be riveting as good as scary.

No. The strange V was flattering corny. It was no where nearby riveting as good as frightful unless we were the child.

V wasn’t even creatively created as sci-fi. The strange book centered around the fifth mainstay during WWII, nonetheless during the time NBC wasn’t shopping WWII scripts. They told bard Kenneth Johnson they longed for the SCI-FI book from him. So he altered the Nazis to visitor Visitors, re-submitted the book as good as it got made.

The Nazi things still abounds, though. (ever notice how Nazi-riffic the Visitor dwindle is?).

47November 15th, 2009 during 10:00 pm Darkrose

I wish to identical to FlashForward so much, nonetheless we only have the total lot of “I don’t care” about the categorical impression as good as his manpain. Mark’s an asshole, as good as I’d rsther than see his mother with the man from Pirates of the Caribbean, since he’s during slightest we do something alternative than sitting around moping as good as we do all he can to have certain the destiny turns out identical to his vision.

48November 15th, 2009 during 10:03 pm Cheryl from Maryland

Am examination the strange Prisoner—Number 2 is the brand brand brand brand brand new actress each episode. That creates it so many improved than the reconstitute from the get go—Ian McKellen will win any mano the mano smackdown with Jim Caveizel. we mean, since bother?

49November 15th, 2009 during 10:06 pm adolphus

I consider I’ll skip the subsequent dual installments of the prisoner. we consider my showering needs re-grouting anyway.

50November 15th, 2009 during 10:07 pm skippy

i’m still examination v, nonetheless ff mislaid me. ater weeks of giving it an additional chance, i eventually pronounced since am i wasting my time as good as dvr space upon this non-tension-filled, uninteresting drivel, as good as i deleted it fromy dvr.

have review not so good things about the prisoner.

i essentially consternation since they worried to reconstitute tbe prisoner, deliberation how identical (at the simple level) mislaid is to the original’s vigilant (if we reinstate govt. authoritarianism w/private corporate involvement).

also: only saw 2012. it’s good for what it is. be certain to postpone your dishonesty frankly as good as severely, however. good ride!

51November 15th, 2009 during 10:09 pm General Winfield Stuck

I pre systematic the Star Trek 6 dvd yesterday from wally universe for 10 bucks as good as they already mailed it with giveaway shipping. Be here Wednesday. Good deal, couldn’t hold it.

52November 15th, 2009 during 10:12 pm GlenInBrooklyn

I’ll give V the single some-more week, maybe…

Flash Forward is some-more interesting. I’ve hold upon to extrinsic sci-fi novels for years since there was an appealing suspicion in them.

53November 15th, 2009 during 10:12 pm General Winfield Stuck

@John Cole:

teevee has been passed to me as good as so for the integrate of years now. Just horrible programing as good as we am sleepy of CSI as good as Law as good as Order stuff. we don’t know what’s wrong, nonetheless the film side of Hollywood isn’t we do all which good either.

54November 15th, 2009 during 10:15 pm Cat Lady

The strange came out 42 years ago, as good as it was thoughts floating since it was prior to judgment notice seemed possible. Now, they’re relying upon the view to communicate the same chilling effect, nonetheless it looks identical to an eco-resort. And Ian McKellan will regularly be Gandalf. Meh.

55November 15th, 2009 during 10:29 pm WereBear

Patrick McGoohan is not the number! He is the giveaway man!

As the HUGE air blower of both the actress as good as his series, we can’t pattern unrestrained for any remake.

You reconstitute when the strange lacked something, or there’s something unequivocally brand brand brand brand brand new to add. Didn’t see which happening.

56November 15th, 2009 during 10:38 pm Maximus

I unequivocally attempted to give V the chance. we had to spin it off median thru ep. 1, when the FBI mother proposed lecturing her son about tagging red “V”s upon walls. The clunkiness of the dialogue, characters, pacing, acting, as good as citation screams old-school network TV.

57November 15th, 2009 during 10:45 pm Scott H

I posted this couple before. Funny BI re: the Prisoner.

btw, we have tivo’d the show; competence nonetheless watch it.

58November 15th, 2009 during 10:50 pm cs

Flash Forward’s core judgment had me hooked, notwithstanding the often uninteresting cast, until the representative committed self-murder which reveals which the visions competence not essentially envision the future.

The categorical reason we was bending was since we suspicion the writers were environment it up so which the destiny was as permanent as the past, as good as which all prepared for would happen, no have the difference how many everybody attempted to equivocate it. That this uncover would be the complicated chronicle of the Greek tragedy where they try to omit or frustrate Cassandra, the oracles, or fate, nonetheless finish up cursed anyways.

But right away the destiny isn’t set in mill necessarily. Tragedy can be averted with heartwarming moments for everybody as good as the writers can go on to have it up as they go along.
