Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
At least they let the writers wrap that one up. Park Ave and Apt 23 were yanked with no ending (not that 23 could really have one).
May have to resort to just picking up shows on Blu-Ray or DVD. TiVo/DVR isn't an option where I am sadly (cable is included in utilities; thus I get what they give me for a box).
I keep hearing Breaking Bad is good...

It's terrible. Overrated. So bad.
And I wish "Brotherhood" (SHO) came down in price on Amazon. Similar show where it was cancelled without having a chance to finish the story. HOWEVER, and very luckily, the storyline in the final episode reached a point where the series could be ended, with closure, no harm no foul. Knowing how tv works, this is rare. Awesome series, despite only lasting 3 seasons.

Walking Dead
I'm not loving what they're doing with Rick's character. I think they could show him as angry, grief stricken, feeling guilty, etc without the ghosts & visions. Cold-hearted realist would be a logical place for him to be at this point - they're taking him to a weirder place. Also, at some point, he's gotta have a bigger army and needs to let new people in. That would seem to be common sense.
Merle is great for comic relief, but glad they didn't write him into the group. NO WAY would they take him back. Good decision at this point.
Best scene last night was the Governor walking out to "help" the injured Woodbury citizen and then turning around and walking back into his building.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome aired last night on Syfy (AKA "Siffy"). It might be used as a setup for a new BSG series, following Bill Adama through the early years of his career with the Colonial Fleet. Nothing's been officially stated to that end.
Assuming it's the start to a new series, it got off to a good start, but the show relied heavily upon CGI for its background settings. One of the good things about the BSG reboot from 2004 was that it used real, interactive sets that gave the scenes a greater touch of familiarity for the audience. I expect that the CGI sets were done this time as a matter of convenience and costs since they tore down the original BSG sets when filming for it completed. The guy playing Adama did an admirable job, but was anything awe inspiring. It was a good touch to bring back one character's voice, to make yet another connection between the future and "past" BSG series. It makes me wonder if we'll hear more of it during the series, again, assuming there's a series to be made.

Rick is cracking up. Notice in the trailer for next week it is Glen leading the group? I think Rick voluntarily takes off to clear his head. Remember, in show time it is only a week since his wife died and his (err Shane's) baby was born. He also lost Daryl who was the closest thing he had to a friend. The show is definitely still on the upswing and keeps getting more interesting.

Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
It started out interesting enough, but things started trending in directions that didn't interest me, so I never picked up watching the show after season 1.0 ended.

Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
I believe there's been six or eight episodes of this that have already played online. This was the move to `show on-air, and as you said, hopefully pick up a big enough audience to keep on with the series. Heard the guy playing Adama is a bit of a stiff, though. Got to catch my recording of the show sometime this week.

Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
As for the Pasquiliano(?), who played Adama, he could have been better. I thought he did fine for a first episode, but if they're going to build a series on him he will need to become more dynamic. As it was, his portrayal of a hot head on his first mission wasn't all that bad. A bit stiff seemed right to me in that situation.
The ten episodes online were can be viewed on YouTube, where they were originally released. Each episode is 8-10 minutes long, and essentially become what was aired last night.

House of Cards on Netflix is legit. I am two episodes in, but I am hooked.

Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
Bah, I completely forgot this was on tonight. I'll have to either catch it on demand or "rent" it from Amazon instant video. I've liked it so far.
Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
Without spoiling anything, of course....more characters are introduced. Probably future important characters. While the plot/action itself seems a little fast-paced....the backstory is definitely a slow burn, which I like.

Re: TV Shows Part 8: Cancel THIS.
I really like when there's an overarching story that spans series while each episode itself can stand on its own. The show Life did that very well, I thought, but it's too bad that the show ended after season 2 without the whole thing being completely wrapped. Damian Lewis had the lead character nailed, and Sarah Shahi was great as his partner.
