The TV thread

That's two in three weeks for Ratzenberger. He was part of a husband-and-wife murder team on Bones a few weeks back too.

 

It might have been Chareth.

 

Chareth Cutestory, the maritime lawyer specializing in pirates, or Chareth Richter?

 

Farewell Munch:

 

I quit watching SVU years ago, but I'll DVR that. Of course, knowing how they do promos the Munch stuff might only take up three minutes in the entire hour.

 

Roger Ebert always called this the Law of Economy of Characters. Kinda ruins a lot of TV/movies if you think about it.

 

Loved the 1st couple of seasons of Revenge, I'm a Soap Opera geek at heart. But I forced myself to watch last year and now the unwatched episodes are piling up on the DVR.

Same with Once Upon a Time. What a great concept and great execution for the first few seasons, but it's now sitting unwatched on the DVR.

Boardwalk Empire, I'm bored now.

 

I get the sense that Revenge was one of those shows that was never meant to go more than 1-2 seasons. It's still decent, but not on the level of the earlier seasons.

 

Last night's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the show's best so far by a mile. There was one cheesy exposition scene involving Skye and Agent Coulson, but the plot was very strong, the reveal was excellent and a lot of momentum was built for the season and the show.

 

Revenge is in the process of losing me right now. Just have no interest in watching it on the DVR.

 

Right there with you. It's starting to feel like homework.

 

I'm still enjoying it. I thought the week 5 episode was one of the best of the show's run. Also, the show's track record is one where the first 8 or so episodes of each season are slow until everything starts to come together for a fantastic finish.
