Seems like the HBO adaption of Monster will follow the manga very closely since Urasawa has only agreed to the adaption if he could review every episode of the first season, probably even the other seasons if it is continued.

Seriously?

I watched the first 3 seasons and was really entertained by it, but then I found it too repetitive. Is Kiefer coming back as Jack Bauer?

Just confirmed Keifer Sutherland is returning as Jack Bauer.

Hopefully they'll get enough backlash and ABC brings it back, dunno...

 

[goldb]

Damn, it's not looking good for it right now. Someone please pick it up.

That's rarely the case though... Unless it's family guy or Futurama, but mostly Family Guy

Fans have saved shows before. Most recently Chuck and Fringe.

Official trailer for the last season of Dexter

 

[Naomi]

Just watched the new season of Arrested Development. It was pretty good and funny. Not quite so awesome as the first three seasons, but still enjoyable. Good show, good show.

Ok, I think I'm almost ready to give up on Defiance now.

Seriously this last episode may have been the worst single hour of television I've watched since Renegade was on the air. Just absolutely awful in every way possible. It was sooooooo amazingly bad.

Spoiler: Just to show you I'm not exaggerating here.

This episode had 4 plot lines and all of them sucked increadably bad.

Line #1

Irisa has a vision (I thought this show was sci-fi?) telling her that the large chested awkward Irathain father figure/even more awkward Irathian man crush is gonna die. Only to go and find out he's dead and attend his funeral (which is long and bad music/gibberish heavy) but when they lower him in some acidic goop they call "broth"(seriously guys?) he pops up out of the sludge and claims got has given him mission. Of course Irisa goes along Mr. Zombie with said mission commiting various crimes and standing by while the deputy is shot. Until Nolan shoots the prick and she turns all weepy and fulfills the divine mission, which turns out to be saving the town because the whole thing was Nanites from a falling ship, but she's still pissed at her father figure cause he's not religous. Make sense? I thought not.

Line #2

Lady Mcbeth is concerned about her sons sexual experience so she goes to hire the hooker lady to give him lessons but gets all upset when the hooker tells her that might not be appropriate (when a prostitute tells you that, that's sayin' something.) But eventually they hash it out over tea and drinks. One thing leads to another and they end up in bed.(huh?)

Line #3

The evil old mayor lady visits the grouchy mine owners house so that she can play detective about who killed her minion and they all panic as they are intimidated by the asthmatic 70+ year old woman with no real authority whatsoever(why not.)

Line #4

The dick son of Lady Mcbeth and his future bride are stuck in the radio tower discussion their relationship and how she doesn't want to do a creepy group bathing session with his folks. He's a huge asshole about it but eventually agrees to talk to his parents about maybe not all getting in a tub together nude and then she's all like "I love you, your the best." (for doing do what you should have done immediately ya douchebag)

For anyone who is interested, Luther is going to return in July

I wanted to be wrong about this show but if even you are giving up....
But Line #2 seems priceless . Da fuck did I just read.

I really wanted to give every chance to succeed and I'll probably keep watching but my god was that bad.

Now I'm already to the point where I'm looking at the next sci-fi fantasy type shows. Just under the assumption that Defiance is a fail because I just do not see how it can recover from here.

Such as..

Spoiler: Sleepy Hollow

Spoiler: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

 

[White Rabbit]

When I first saw the Trailer to Sleepy Hollow, I thought "Yay, Clancy Brown!!!"... five seconds later he was laying dead on the ground.
