TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Apparently, in this week's Breaking Bad podcast, Vince Gilligan very explicitly said that Walt was trying to get Skyler off the hook.

Brooklyn Nine Nine was probably the show I was looking forward to the most this year (or maybe Dan Harmon's return to Community, but he was spiraling into weirdness creeping toward the wrong side of fun when he left, so I do have reservations). It was good. WAY better than the irritating frame-by-frame remake that was The Office pilot, and quite a bit better than anything in Parks and Rec's (pretty bad) first season. Lots of promise, anyway.

Of course coming from The Office/Parks and Rec guys, Samberg and that Latina girl are going to be married by season 3.

I'm glad some comedies are returning to cleanse the palette from BB's torture.

Sleepy Hollow - interesting show. Right up my alley.

Too bad Clancy Brown's character loses his head in the first 5 min of the show.

I think it could have some promise.

.

He kept it much longer in Highlander.

I watched it last night after hearing Andy Greenwald giving it some props on his podcast. It's basically a very well-made, well-acted terrible TV show. Proves that you can sell just about anything when you commit to it. The guy who plays Ichabod is kind of a weak spot. He does okay, but I feel like everyone else is playing it straight and he's playing it like he's on a show about Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman re-awakened in the 21st century. Actually so is the horseman - when he started shooting the automatic rifle for some reason that crossed the line for me.

It's weird how much better the guy playing the headless horseman is in Tim Burton's movie than this guy. I think it was Ray Park in the movie if I'm not mistaken - AKA Darth Maul. It's odd to think that you can actually play headless better than another actor.

The automatic weapon was a little off for me, but I had the opposite feeling, I thought Ichabod was really good, but the lady cop was weak. It was a pilot, so maybe the following eps will tighten things up a bit.

And remember the headless horseman in Burton's film, when he had a head, was played by Christopher Walken, so the character was automatically better, even when played headless by Snake Eyes/Darth Maul - Ray park.

BB -- The only part of last week's episode that I didn't fully understand was the scene involving Jesse. Yes, Jesse was a rat. And by standard TV protocol rats are the lowest of the low. But, I kept looking for the secret plot. Maybe by telling them where Jesse was, Walt was somehow saving him? That doesn't make sense... By saying they still have a deal (i.e. killing Jesse), Walt was somehow saving him? That doesn't make any sense. Maybe there was some hidden secret message when Walt told him about Jane that would give Jesse a clue to his plan? That doesn't make sense.

I guess, in the end, Walt was comfortable having Jesse tortured and taken. And that just seems out of character, to me. I realize he wanted Jesse dead, but he wanted him dead in a humane way... I realize how ridiculous that sounds. It's a huge leap from I want him dead humanely, to I'm going to lead these brutal murders to him and allow him to be taken, tortured, and turned into a slave.

I still think that somehow Walt will come back and save Jesse, but I might be wrong about that.

Finally binged watched all this seasons episodes.

[SHOW]

i think he was letting skyler off the criminal hook, but I also think he is going to kill the dudes that stole his money. I think the major plot point is going to be what happens to jessie while he kills the dudes that killed hank

Yep. There's still so much that has to happen.
