Sorry I'm not very talkative today everyone. But, I haven't seen anything. Might be pretty dicey on catching up or seeing anything tonight too! We'll see.

But, I did see that The Following was renewed!

Once - can't wait for you to see it - they played the Star Wars card not once but twice. Same line really but said it two different times.

So I hear we're going to see a bad side to Snow now.

Following was another great ep - apparently EW is not bothering to recap it any more.

Following--gears changed re Joey--finally--but in an interesting way being reunited with his father. The Followings universe keeps expanding. Building to a shoot out at the OK corral??

Following - Yep, good episode. Joe has thought of everything! Slick escape! Every week the group of followers expands. Seems like it's gonna be harder now than ever to get to Joey. Guess Olivia outlived her usefulness.

This is starting to feel like that other shoot out with Rick and the Governor. Now that we know it's renewed, I wonder how they are going to leave things at the end of this season.

Still haven't watched ONCE, Shameless or The Following. But, I did catch Justified last night. Good stuff! I'll wait to say anything for now!

Leslie, The Following- I was wondering about the show being renewed and how they would wrap up or continue the story line.

Particularly with Olivia killed he's not likely thinking of pursuing any strategy that brings him back into the fold of a normal society.

I guess they could have more on the Claire/Ryan deal?? And certainly shows about back and forth action between the followers and law enforcement.

Following - i want to know how he didnt get in that truck, didnt ryan watch him get in?

Justified - U were right! Shelby is Drew!! It didnt make sense that drew would hide Ellen May but read yost today and realize that they decided to make him Drew after some eps in the can. Very tense scene with boyd and colton with the guns. And deputy bob with the shootout and Having pthe last tidbit Raylan needed was great.

Continuum - scary tech that they could control her like they did. And now i guess the young guy who is always in her ear (cant remember name) will be found.

Following---I don't know about getting into the truck for sure.

Continuum--I am probably behind in knowing this, but it got picked up for a second season. I don't think there's any way that Alec can stay anonymous. Someone will likely attack his place and how that will work with his family will be interesting. I was rewatching the first ep this weekend and noticed that the older Alec had a smile when Kiera went back in time with the Liber8 gang. Seems like he planned for her to go back. Maybe to help Alec understand things from a different perspective, but brings into question the notion of "what happened, happened".

Justified - Wish I could take the credit, but I definitely read the theory on EW. I think they even asked Yost about it in the interview last week. lol Definitely makes sense that they decided later on who Drew Thompson would be. lol I'll have to read that interview. But the episode was great once again. Was doing my traditional "falling asleep at the 10:30 mark" again. It's tough business watching TV these days! I know I'm a broken record. lol

Leslie said...

The Following - I don't know how he got out of that truck either! Ryan definitely saw him get in the truck, unless the warden had something to do with helping him make the switch.

Richard - yeah, we can have more Claire/Ryan stuff, and I guess there's still the possibility that Joey is Ryan's son. Of course, since we keep finding each week that there are more followers, who knows where they will go with it. I'm enjoying the ride so far.

The following--there is a very strong likely hood the warden had something to do with it. At this point, a badge/title mean nothing.

Still haven't seen The Following or ONCE. I'm getting there! lol

Shameless: I did watch this though. Good stuff once again! Now we're cutting toes off of dead bodies? Fiona has pretty much screwed her own life by taking in her siblings. But, it's what she wants to do. I'm sure there will be reprecussions eventually on that. Doesn't seem like Steve/Jimmy is all on board with the idea. But, he's got his own baggage that he has yet to tell Fiona about! Jodi and bringing the gang bang over and the noose. Good stuff!

I had a feeling Karen would come back too since they showed her in the previously on segments. (I gotta stop watching those! lol) I'm wondering if she came back because of Lip's voice message a couple episodes back. And seems fitting that once the baby was gone, she came right back.

How about Deb supergluing that lady's eyes shut? OUCH!

And of course, next week we're going to meet their Uncle or cousin or whatever. In any case, it's going to be the guy that was just on Justified (who killed Arlo) and I think that's the same guy that was/may continue to be on The Killing. (wouldn't know since I never finished seasons 1 and 2. lol)

Anyway, still loving that show!

mj said...

The warden def helped without escape happen- they were holding his daughter hostage. So Joe gets help from non-follewers when needed.

CONTINUUM- thx, did not know about renewal. Duh! Total l y forgtot that future alec was there when she was sent back and was smirky about it.

SHAMELESS - Gang bang stuff hysterical. And the toe. Guy who killed Arlo def guy who was dad on Killing. Jody being caught by Karen fun too. So FRank gets no more checks, and i think they will lose the house now. I think Jimmy might be running - he does not want this with all the kids forever. Wonder how al l his stuff will end.

Mike V. said...

Shameless - I'm sure they will somehow find a way to "shamelessly" keep the house! lol Unless they're planning a relocation to spice up season 4. Totally forgot about that final scene with Jody..yeah that was hysterical! LOL

Mike V. said...

Ron Moore (BSG) is working with SyFy again. We'll see what happens there! http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/03/07/syfy-greenlights-battlestar-galactica-showrunners-new-series/

Still no Following or ONCE for me. I'll be probably trying to catch up before each one airs. Rough week!! :-)

MJ said...

Theres not alot on next week overall except Idol, idol, idol ! Not even our HIMYM - damn it. LOL

Mike V. said...

It's the lull after February sweeps! I love it! Plenty of catch up time. Of course, I did get sucked into Idol again even though it sucks this year! lol Still having a war with myself on blogging it, but I think I decided I will do it again (top 10).

23 days until Game of Thrones!!

BTW...random Movie note. I had never seen the Alien movies (it was a very big missing piece of my SciFi Cred.)....I have caught up on Alien, Aliens, part of Alien 3 and Prometheus (co-penned by our very own Damon Lindelof). I really enjoyed it! Everyone's a critic these days I guess. lol But, if anyone wants to discuss those movies..I'm up for it! You know, since it's all fairly new to me. lol
