Nah, that whole idea doesn't work for me. I just prefer that the screens cuts to black let people draw their own individual conclusion.


FYI - saw (DL'd) The Neighbours last night, which looks a decent new series.

 

[Jack Regan]

David Chase was the main writer and creator of the Soprano's he also wrote the final episode.

Weiner wrote 12 episodes according to IMDB.

The Mob Doctor - Another decent new show.

 

[PabloWolfo]

Vegas - Another good one. Got Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis.

For those that do watch it, help me out. In what other show could I have seen the actor that plays the dead girls' boyfriend?

 

[North West Wanderer]

Started watching Crash, spin off to the Oscar winning film. It's cracking. Dennis Hopper God rest his soul steals every scene.

Did your opinion change after a second viewing Langers?

 

[Langers]

I appreciated it FAR more on second viewing and I think your version of events is correct.

Mrs Langers - despite agreeing with your version originally, now agrees with Pablo!!

We do both agree that the main reason for the ending being like that was so no-one would forget it, and it'd get everyone talking to make up their own theories.

Although it was cleverly done and SUPERBLY directed, I don't think it was the right thing to do and I think I may well stick by that view.

Im giving serious consideration to watching the West Wing all over again. For the 4th time.

It's natural for women to agree with me. It's a power i have over them.

Good to see Homeland win so many! Clare Danes was superb. Surprising to many is that Breaking Bad and Mad Men got nothing this year!! Mad Men I'm a bit gutted about as it was my favourite show this year just ahead of Homeland.

 

[Langers]

Clare Danes and Damian Lewis were both brilliant - looking forward to the next series!

'Later in the year' is all I can see.

Revolution is warming up nicely - very similar to Jericho which is nice.

Continuum is now on SyFy - Rachel Nichols. Wow

Homeland season 2 - decent episode for the new season

Last Resort second episode is tomorrow in the US

Enjoyed Crash TV series still too. Dennis Hopper.

 

[The Bear]

I was going to record Continuum but missed the first episode. I'll just leave it and download them at some point now.

Rachel Nicholls is indeed lovely.

I still can't quite muster up the energy to watch Revolution.

Crash would have gone on for many series had Dennis Hopper not selfishly gone and died.
