TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Apparently things finally got real on Dexter. I might have to watch again.

Hearing good things about "Last Resort" too.

I finished season 3 of Breaking Bad last night. Wow. The war is on.

Yeah, except don't even talk to us until you've seen the season 4 finale, mkay?

"Dexter" was better in the sense that it was a step up from the complete disaster that was Season 6.

Watched all of "Downton Abbey". Watched the first season when PBS re-ran it and then got Season 2 off of Amazon.

The first season was a nice zippy little drama that one could watch with the wife without embarrasment. The second season got too soapy. Didn't care for the rather silly Bates plot.

I like Revenge, but I think it is almost too soap-opera-y also

Yeah, episode one was a game changer of Dexter.
So far, so good. It needed a shake up, looks like it got it.
Except-

[SHOW]

Dexter doesn't have to be such an idiot! Sticking psycho intern guy in the trunk, and then letting him go? Bad move.

[Vidor]

Well, Psycho Intern Guy is going to be the one who takes the fall for the Bay Harbor Butcher murders, so he has to live!

The two ugliest people in the world are separating.

At the behest of a friend, I decided to watch Homeland since it managed to beat both Breaking Bad and Mad Men. My Analysis:

[SHOW]

What a bunch of horse [expletive]. This show is so poorly written the only reason I stuck around because Saul is awesome, just an honest, caring, moral guy who is dedicated to his job and loves his wife. I really like Claire Danes from Stardust and Lt. Winters, but I couldn't believe their characters - not sure how they won best actor and actress. I thought I was watching the worst scenes of Pearl Harbor, then Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and then the Sum of All Fears. I was expecting some kind of Rear Window Vibe where the two main characters would never interact - maybe they would meet for the first time at the finale of season 3 or something, but then they start [expletive] each other mid season, followed by this awkward, cringe inducing "I think you're a terrorist" scene on back porch of a cabin.

I am convinced this show only won the emmy because the emmy voters have a major liberal slant, and it has anti-war points that tap the political euphoria part of their brain, like they would say 'it says a lot about the war on terror' rather than just taking it as a straight up TV show.

If Breaking Bad S4 and Homeland S1 were at the bottom of a pile in football fighting for the ball, Breaking Bad would be giving Homeland the business so bad Homeland would feel it in the past and would create an alternate reality where Homeland was placed on the IR in the preseason. This analogy, while absolutely convoluted to the point of nonsense, is more effective at making a point than the entire first season of Homeland was at compelling story-telling.
