TV Discussion: Week of 9/29/2013 - 10/5/2013

Hello TV Addicts!  Here's our weekly place to discuss the non-recapped shows.  This will also be the place where we will dissect the series finale of Breaking Bad.  See you in the comments!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 1 - Born in the U.S.A.

Hello TV fans and welcome to the 2013/2014 Television season!  We are in brand new territory this year when it comes to our genre show of the year recap.  Ever since LOST there have been many shows that tried to capture that core audience in subsequent years.  Flashforward tried during LOST's final season and failed to capture an audience to get to season 2.  Terra Nova suffered a similar fate.  The Event was a non-event.  Here we are with Revolution now heading into season 2!   Season 1 was nothing to get too excited over, but it gradually improved over the year and a lot of us stuck with it through its growing pains.  The ratings weren't wonderful by the end of season 1, but it had the fortunate circumstance of living on ratings plagued NBC which allowed it to continue its life into season 2.  Now, this could be a blessing or a curse.  But, in the capable hands of Eric Kripke of Supernatural fame (which I have yet to start watching on Netflix), anything was possible.

Season 2 is immediately better than anything that has preceded it on this show.  It has a new gritty and darker tone, the characters feel 3 dimensional (I'm looking at you Charlie!), and the mysteries introduced are actually interesting!  And as predicted last year, it would seem like all of our antagonizing forces from last year will eventually be united against a common and larger foe that they previously encountered.  So, the conflict introduced (starting in the season finale last year) is more interesting as well.  I'm not going to go as far as giving my "W" word rating to this consistently improving investment, but I will say that I'm excited about the potential of season 2.  Hopefully, the viewers will stick around to let us find out where they're going with this!   That's enough of an intro wouldn't you say?  Let's dive into our quick recap!

Summer 2013 TV Discussion - Part II

Hello fellow TV addicts! We breached the 200 comments mark in our original Summer 2013 thread. So, I thought the premiere of the final episodes of Breaking Bad was a good enough excuse to launch a new one! This should carry us through until the FALL TV premiere season. See you in the comments!

Note: We got into some of the Fall Premieres in the end of this discussion post as well. 

Summer 2013 TV Discussion

Hello fellow TV Addicts!  Well, it's been a crazy TV Season, but things aren't really slowing down this summer.  We found plenty to discuss last summer with our unofficial "LOST Rewatch".  But, I'm sure we will have something to talk about this summer as well.  With Game of Thrones discussion, there are book readers in the discussions but we are mindful of TV Only watchers and will precede any book discussion with a "Spoiler Warning" or a "Book Stuff" warning!  See you in the comments!

NOTE: All comments after 200 are the next page of comments (click "newer" and you'll see them).  Hope you guys figure it out! 

Revolution: Season 1 Episode 20 - The Dark Tower

Hello everyone and welcome to the Revolution!  Not a bad wrap up for season 1.  A lot of what we had discussed most likely happening did indeed happen, but of course there were twists along the way. And, of course, someone had to lose their life in the process (a couple someones actually).  Let's dive right into the recap!

TV Discussion: Week of 6/2/2013 - 6/8/2013

Hello TV Addicts!  Here's our weekly place to discuss the non-recapped shows.  We're getting into Summer territory and probably starting next week I'll just be putting "monthly" posts up.  But the reason this one has been scheduled to automatically post on Sunday 6/2/2013 at 10:00pm is to give everyone the opportunity to discuss Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9: The Rains of Castamere as soon as possible.   If you've seen it, you'll know why.   As always, we have some book readers and some non-book readers.  So, we'll try to precede any book stuff that hasn't been covered by the show with a "SPOILER WARNING".   See you in the comments!

Revolution: Season 1 Episode 19 - Children of Men

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Revolution!  Definitely an enjoyable penultimate episode to the season finale.  Lots of action, some interesting reveals, good conflict.  All you could ask for out of the TV show.  You can kind of see hints of where season 2 is headed, but we still have 1 episode to go.    Let's dive into our quick recap!
