There's a new series called Shooter. It's very similar to the 2007 movie with Mark Wahlberg and he is an exec producer for the show. A couple of episodes in and it's quite good.

The Good Wife. Have smashed though almost 6 seasons in the last 2 months. Quality show.
Netflix has an Indian American Comedian Aziz...his stand up at Madison Square Garden is lol...esp creepy men skit.
I am going to watch Life of Brian or Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind just after 8-30 pm tonight on SBS channels. Not sure which one but well worth watching if you never seen. One is very very funny. The other very very different. Cricket I will browse between adds.

Ascension
Cancelled after 1 season of 6 episodes. In 1963, the US Government secretly launched the generational ship Ascension on a 100-year journey to Proxima Centarui to find a new planet and ensure humanity's survival (Cold War fears blah blah). In the present day of 2014, the ship is 51 years into its mission and full of people who were born on the ship and, except the young adult characters, will die on the ship. One of the 600 passengers is murdered and this becomes a reason for characters to start digging around and see if the mission isn't quite what they think it is. Oh and the ship fell out of communications range of Earth decades ago so the Sexual Revolution and all that s**t never happened for these people.
The premise is absurd, not least of all because the ship is closer to a hotel than a Space Shuttle, but the plot twists and the 'people stuck 60s society' thing is entertaining enough if you ignore the absense of anything resembling hard science. It's also got more sex and scantily-clad women than a typical network/basic cable show so that didn't hurt either. I was suffiently entertained to be a little bumbed when it ended on a ZOMG! cliffhanger. Would've happily watched a second season.
C+.

Yea that was odd, and she knew he was getting married so why continue seeing him
And that ending was just weird.

I think it was more showing that Rory still had a relationship with Logan after so long. But it could have much easily have worked if he was in New York instead. And the fact that he was situated in London made the whole Life and Death Brigade scene very out of place.
I had read that the last four words were going to be big, but why add that if it was not going to continue. I did not get any satisfaction out of what she said.
What do you mean by stalled in reference to Black Sails? I've watched the first two seasons and loved it, please don't tell me it turns to s**t?

I didn't enjoy the life and death brigade, it was pointless considering Logan and Rory arent actually together. That story line didn't work
And, saying those 4 words at the wedding was just lame.
Paris and Jess were my favourite characters.

I have stalled watching it. The machinations are bogging down a bit for mine, but it is still OK.

Westerworld
Adam ruins everything
Subconsciously switching the tv onto fox footy on the weekends and then watching it for about 15 mins until I remember the footy season is over and then watching it for another 30 mins cos I'm too lazy to change the channel.
About to move onto the Missing onces Westerworld ends.

I think the Life and Death Brigade scene was for token effect. Just to have it there because it was such a big part of Rory's time at Yale. But with that story line, it looked like that Rory realized that she could not see Logan again.
Was there a particular 4 words at the wedding? I was referring to the final four words. And why wasn't Jess invited to pre-wedding, when instead you had Lane and Michel in attendance.
Paris's Winter story line felt really forced. Having her in the fertility clinic just didn't work for me. Even the time when Rory and her went back to school seemed like a token scene.
Jess was dealt with a bit better, but I still don't understand why he'd stay in Stars Hollow with Luke. Doesn't he have other family or friends?
Dean scene was really cringe worthy, it was better just to not have him in there altogether.
And don't get me started on Sookie. Originally, McCarthy wasn't part of the cast (I don't know why), and then she was added at the least minute. Would have like to have seen her more, instead of the rotating chefs at the Dragonfly.
