I kinda feel guilty that I didn't watch this episode on Tuesday. This deserved to be watch live. Dammit!
This isn't even in my top three worst episodes. Season two had some hot messes.
This was the first time I've watched this show for almost a year, and I was left with the same impression I had when I gave up on it. It's a watchable sitcom where within an episode you smirk a couple of times and spend the rest of the half hour blank faced. The problem with Modern Family (at least for me) is that…
Sometimes the show feels like a pulpy caper. Sometimes it feels like a much more grounded in reality show. Personally, I think the show needs to become more intimate and not get caught up in big ambition and themes. I've yet to something that makes me think the type of talent is there to pull that off.
There seems to be no soul or passion in this show so far. Having a flawed first some odd episodes and a show not having much personality and vitality are different things. I would prefer the former. It reminds me of House of Cards and Boardwalk Empire. Though those shows have had great moments/episodes, as a whole…
The makings of the relationships are there. They just haven't been fleshed out or given much weight. That's why I'm willing to be a but more patient with the show. But I still don't feel I've been given a reason to care. Michelle motivations were there at the beginning. But now she's just there. She doesn't seem to…
But I'm not really sure what drives Michelle or really any of the other characters. Being a family drama helps, having some relationships already with some years on it, but there's still no excuse for a show hitting the twenty episode mark to have no intriguing or fleshed out relationship dynamics. Also, 'Gilmore' had…
I thought Bledel was fair to good on Gilmore girls the first few seasons. Not a lot was asked of her but to react to Lauren Graham, but I thought she was charming and adorable. As the show went into its college years Bledel became more self-conscious and awkward. The dynamic between Rory and Lane in the first few…
I can't really agree with this entirely. Most of the current acclaimed comedies have female characters at its center. With perhaps the exception of The Wire and Breaking Bad there haven't been any hugely acclaimed TV dramas post 1999/2000 that lack important, fleshed out, engaging female characters. Dramas like The…
I think Gilmore girls felt more grown-up for a number of reasons but particularly because the relationship dynamics were clearer and felt more substantial than on this series. Whether it was the bond between Lorelai and Rory, the tension between Lorelai and Emily, the attraction between Lorelai and Luke, the…
He was probably close for Chicago, but the confusion over whether he was lead or supporting likely killed his chances. He also had a bit of buzz this year for Arbitrage (which I think is his best performance ever), but the category was too stacked for him to breakthrough.
Gere has never been nominated for an Oscar.
Spiderman 2 was one of my favorite movies of 2004 and one of my top fifty movies of the last decade. I stand by that.
This didn't really hold up for me with a second viewing.
This was a very conservative period in England. However, the problem for me isn't that people knew about Thomas, but that James made it public, basically said the dude sexually assaulted him, wanted him fired and wanted the file charges. And yet, within an hour of TV time everyone is still working together under the…
Scarwler, that's true. Season one was a mess as well, just a bit less clunky and awkward and for me a lot more engaging. I don't ask this show to live up to the hype. I would just like to not roll my eyes every other scene, that is when I'm not bored. I guess someone has to have a real emotional connection with these…
You can accept it. I can't. He was beyond brazen before this episode. And since him and O'Brien haven't been getting along wouldn't he be suspicious that she's so she's trying to push him on James so much? The storyline was interesting. It was just horribly executed. In fact, I can't think of any storyline that's…
I initially thought the Thomas drama was pretty poorly handled, and on a second viewing I stand by that. I just can't feel sympathy for someone who's so manipulative and then suddenly becomes such an easy to fool idiot becomes he has it bad for a boy. Robert's reaction to the situation was completely out of character.…
While I enjoyed the episode I do think this is a show where characters need to grow or at least gain some new nuances. It's not executed well enough and it's not funny enough to get away with spinning its wheels for multiple seasons.
