"Hands down the worst thing about this pilot is the abysmal opening info dump that establishes Kara’s backstory with all the finesse Supergirl later shows as she barrels through a semi-truck"
I disagree. By a large margin the worst parts of the show were the ham-fisted discussions of feminism, the male villain of the…
While I loved the show I wanted more of a resolution. The coda with Bedelia really doesn't work for me. Anyway. Thanks for the horror, humor, and suspense Fuller.
Bye Dave. You achieved greatness.
"Many of you in the comments last week took exception to the show’s decision to kill off Siobhan, arguing that it was too easy of a route for the show to take and that it existed only as a narrative catalyst."
I don't mind the loss of key and recurring characters. I expect it and it makes Banshee feel real with consequences and tension. However, I feel that killing Siobhan doesn't add tension and feels less real because for this show because it is an easy plot development. Hood had to deal with his identity being revealed…
Killing Siobhan is my least favorite plot development in Banshee’s 3 seasons. I have so little interest in 1) killing the girl to give the main character a motive, and 2) incidentally killing off the only person forcing Hood to leave town. Both developments seem beneath the interesting pulp that Banshee specializes…
I very much enjoyed McNulty, Alice, and a Bunhead against the excellent backgrounds and music. But I'm not so sure about flash forward aspect of the show.
But that would make her a terrible FBI agent since any evidence would be inadmissible.
In the end I hated this episode. Hannibal saving Jack's wife was a wonderful surprise and everything up until that point was so atmospheric and typical Hannibal beautiful. But then came the cliched riddled kill the minority character and the cop that investigates on their own. So below the level of this show.
I loved the premiere and was completely surprised by the wonderful opening. I do hope we get more from the lab techs as the season goes on.
I thought last season was largely about how the characters can't get away from who they are and where they came from. This episode did nothing but reaffirm that idea. Raylan is turning into a gangster thug with slightly more subtly than Archer is.
The show shifted my expectations this season early on and I thought they were going to do something different. Not that it had to abandon it's kick ass 80's action movie nature but a shift to something like what Spartacus did. Before this season I never thought they would do that but the tension and stories all…
I'm actually disappointed in the character work they did this season. The set-up was great and then no pay-off. Scott & Stonebridge spent the entire season questioning what it all means and how to get out and then they just say "screw it we are staying." No real reason for their change other then some nonsense about…
His scene looking at himself and his decisions/actions saying he made a mistake was wonderfully done.
This show needs more exposition.
Yeah, Dalton's death was clearly foreshadowed since the first episode this season and the show did it well.
Actually it didn't on ESPNews at 1am they showed yet another rerun of Around the Horn. It did come on ESPN2 at ~1:15am at tennis ended.
I really enjoyed how the show switched channels and time slots. I never watched Olbermann on Sportscenter or on any other show but his reputation for pissing off his bosses and actual intellectual abilities and insights had me interested. I enjoyed the show (maybe turn down the music). ESPN can use his perspective…
