Golden Boy looks like it's gonna be good. And good to see Chi McBride back in a role he's just killing.

I miss Human Target.:(

Elizabeth is gonna need some therapy soon. She's starting to show some cracks here and there, although somewhat subtle (for tv/movie standards).

They're gonna have to have the actual Americans win a battle soon, I think, just to keep the show on an even keel. I thought tonight might have been the night with the meeting. Not that I'm not enjoying the show, etc, but one side can't always score the coup in a key moment.

I agree about Elizabeth. The Americans did win with the frequency change. The one thing I didn't like in the mole assumption is that they didn't even suggest that the encryption could be set to roll in values. Such ideas were not new in 1981.

I'm thinking something about arrogance. ;) Or tv drama, take your pick. :)

How soon before the real Americans need a new mole? I'm thinking season end....unless that's not a big enough cliff-hanger.

The mole will be gone before season end, either ex-filtrated or killed in three or four episodes. The season cliffhanger will be something with either Elizabeth or Phillip snapping and their covers on the verge of perhaps being blown in some spectacular way.

The start of the new season of Duck Dynasty was excellent!
 
Re: TV Thread 9: The Walking Dead Americans are completely Justified to be Psyched

Monday Mornings is quickly becoming my favorite show on TV. However, based on the last few shows I really liked, it's probably a death knell (Alcatraz, Last Resort, Terra Nova, Touch).

I only have four series I like anymore:
The Newsroom
Chicago Fire
Monday Mornings
Downton Abbey

Top Chef: Seattle. I liked the different finale concept, but I wonder if the producers think their viewers are stupid. By calling it a best of 5, as soon as it became a 2-1 score with only 15 minutes or so left you knew the winner because there was no way they were going to fit two more rounds into the episode. So even though the presentation and voting remained the result was not in doubt. Terrible finale.

Not that I had ever any doubt, but Modern Family reminded me why it's a 1a and 1b tie with Community for best sitcome on TV tonight. Absolutely brilliant and wonderful.

That would be the classic TV formula. I really hope it's different. The better shows have shown that you can deviate from the formula and still have success.

I'm kind of thinking that the other way (again, sterotypical) to end the season is have something that at the time appeared big in 1981 world or American politics, and having the various agencies buzzing around with that. That still leaves the blown covers option open, which I just can't see the writers resisting. I really hope I'm wrong on that point.

IMO, they are gearing the storyline (in pace) for a one season show, depending on ratings. I think if the ratings are good, they'll slow it down a little, and go into depth. "Alcatraz" was geared to a multi-season show, and it failed. Greatly. SOA geared towards a one-season show, it held, then boom deep storylines.
