→ Is anybody still watching Sons of Anarchy or Boardwalk Empire? I haven't heard much rumbling about them since their seasons started. I'm curious as to how their seasons are going even though I'm not watching them anymore. I was truly disappointed with the first three episodes of SOA but I can't say I don't wonder what's going on in and around Charming.

→ I'm thinking of giving Terriers another try. Since I posted that TV list, two of my shows have ended for the season, one has been canceled, and I never watched another episode of The Event, haha. Maybe I need to make another list.

→ Why, when I actually have writing to do [angela_weber], do we get surprise house guests? All my free time this weekend, stolen from me. Boo.

I'm still watching Boardwalk Empire, although I am now behind (thanks HBO, Showtime, and AMC for scheduling three of my shows at the exact same time). But I do really like it.

Yeah? I may wait until the season progresses further before making any decisions about whether to watch any more of it.

Might not be a bad idea. I'm like that with most things, truth be told -- I don't know why I picked this up right off the bat but I don't regret it.

I think there were some things I liked about the pilot. I liked Michael Pitt's character but that my just be because I like Michael Pitt.

FYI I used to always get confused and call him "Henry Pitt" because he played a character named Henry on Dawson's Creek, haha. I just couldn't ever remember his real first name.

Anyway, but there were other things about the pilot that I definitely did not like. So I hesitate to get my hopes up about it. I'll wait a month or so and see what people are saying then.

Can I ask what it was that you didn't like? I'm just curious; I don't actually have strong opinions with this show so it's not something that's going to like set me off or anything.

I'm either not a fan of the character, or not a fan of the casting of Steve Buscemi, I can't really tell.

And generally it was an overall tone thing that kind of bored/irritated me or both -- part of it worked and part of it didn't. Nothing I could put my finger on precisely.

Ah, well that would be a problem.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Which one?

[slybrunette.livejournal.com]

Well both. Issues with the, well, essential lead and then tone issues. Those are just not minor things, you know what I mean? I know what I mean.
