Actually quite liked Vegas. Probably means it will be canceled by episode 6.

Ben and Kate, possibly the worst comedy ever made. Totally unfunny, wooden actors, terrible script. Utterly shit

So it seems David Cameron will be on Letterman tonight .... personally, I'd like for John Stewart to rip on him.

I thought it was okay, but it'll need to pick up a bit.

I agree....it was absolutely dire.
I watched New Girl too.....I've seen it before and thought it was rubbish, but last night's second episode was actually quite enjoyable.

Looking forward to Last Resort and obviously Walking Dead.

PS wasn't the bloke Norwegian but everyone assumed he was Swedish? :lol:

I just looked this up and apparently the second series has been on for a while. It hasn't been doing as well in the ratings though.

Yeah the bad guy turns out to be Norwegian - apparently that's a bit of an in-joke as Norweigians are always being mistaken for Swedes when they travel (the Swedes have a better publicity agent). The actor is from Canada and picked up the accent from his dad.

After I told my computer I wanted the show, the episodes just magically appear on the hard drive, I had no idea it wasn't being broadcast in America yet.

Wish my computer did that - would save me the trouble of rooting through various nefarious links the day after an episode airs...

Oh no can't believe I missed that. Must investigate.

Sick Beard + Sabnzbd or rss feeds with your torrent client.

This is how I do it too. Sickbeard / Sabnzbd / Plex. Throw in Tunerfree NCE in Windows Media Center and you're pretty much set. One day when I have some free time, I'll try and make a guide.

OK seem to have missed 3 episodes but piecing it together. Still quite fun :thumbup:

Elementary, surprised that I enjoyed it and that it wasn't entirely shit.

Though they didn't really say how Sherlock, a Londoner, ended up in NY and he's also a bit of a knob. Lucy Lu, wasn't entirely shit, but she wasn't great as Watson either. Still worth a few episodes to flesh out.

Vegas....this also wasn't to shit.

Dennis Quaid had that weird stare that was a cross between having a stroke and trying to take a shit, the whole way through the show and that was a little disconcerting and not sure how much of that I can handle.

But he was an amusing character and there could be some fun stuff brewing and it's a fun time period, where Vegas is still growing out of the dust and the casino's are popping up with mob money.

So just how much was Jim Caviezel channeling Neo in his first scene in Person of Interest tonight?

It was a bit of a weird series opener....still liking the potential for the new story line, so we'll see.

Last Resort, the one about the submarine commander who questions the order to fire a nuke missile and the potential start of WW3.

It wasn't as good as the trailers made it seem, enjoyable enough but it had a bit of a camp desperate housewives feel to it, just with folks in uniform.

Yep, expected to hate Elementary, but it was okay. Not as we'll written as Sherlock, but okay.
