Finale was good until the final scene.
~*~*~*SPOILER*~*~*
For some dude, it ended up that the accident wasn't an accident, but a conspiracy to cover up heroin trafficking by his commanding officers. He was bouncing back and forth between these realities, piecing the case together from events in each, until he got retribution in one and the other one just vanished. Then it turned out none of it had ever happened and his family was alive.

Would've had more resonance if both his wife and son had died and he'd finally worked through his grief and found peace. But no...HAPPY ENDINGS FOR EVERYBODY!

Thank goodness his family was alive.
In other news, thank goodness that my post-L O S T shitty high concept show sniffer is apparently still in tip-top shape.

hey summer thread. so, welcome back gilmore girls dialogue resurrected in the form of bunheads

I liked it.

i liked it too, tho so many beats were very very gilmore girls. if you have a fondness for that show (i do) i think you'll like this one. if not tho, stay away
― Mordy, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 02:18 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeah, I'm a GG fan. Will check it out.

I never watched Gilmore Girls more than a part of an episode here and there, but I just caught an encore airing of the Bunheads premiere and I'm gonna set my dvr for the season. Definitely love it initially.

Yeah, I enjoyed that.

dead or coma?

i dunno, but bummed about that twist
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Sunday, 17 June 2012 04:29 (11 months ago) Permalink
i'd prefer coma. death is too final. coma can keep him out as long as writers want and have option of bringing him back. also better reason to keep protag in town besides tenuous friendship with mother-in-law

I dunno. In cases where a will hasn't been drawn up, wouldn't she just inherit everything that's in her husband's name? If so, that's a pretty concrete reason to hang around for a while.

It starts effectively enough, with an homage to “Network” ’s galvanizing “I’m mad as hell” rant
Studio 60 started the exact same way. That doesn't bode well.

yeah of all Sorkin's insane compulsions that hurt his work, the unapologetic recycling of stories and themes and episode titles and word-for-word dialogue from one show to the next is the weirdest

some dude have you been watching 'suits'? i feel like youre the only other person that liked that show but im p amped thats back, somehow
― Lamp, Monday, 18 June 2012 23:47 (11 months ago) Permalink
hbo has been pushing that show for so long now that I've lost interest in it. also it seems like an extended series basically built around network which is kind of meh to me.
― akm, Monday, 18 June 2012 23:49 (11 months ago) Permalink
oh man i've been watching reruns of s1 of Suits AND watched the s2 premiere XD

is it just me or is Gina Torres an actual character instead of an empty plot device boss now? that was a pleasant surprise

i like it, i think it's probably the best recent usa show (though i caught up on 'white collar' earlier this year and it seemed pretty much on a par once i could see the arc). the new plot-rejigger was good and the women are all as sick as ever. looks like it's going to be a good role for gale-from-breaking-bad.

Ratings flop pilot, though.. wrong home for it on ABC Family perhaps.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 06:50 (11 months ago) Permalink
is it possible to have bad ratings on ABC Family? are they like 'oh no, you're not raking in the cash like Switched At Birth'?
― here's my lumber, so jack me maybe (some dude), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 10:50 (11 months ago) Permalink
I'll comfortably chalk up any Bunheads ratings troubles to the show's title. That's a helluva hurdle for the uninitiated to jump. I'm loving it so far, myself, though. Stokes those understimulated GG pleasure centers.

people are probably afraid the show stars the Karmin lady

it's a very good show, if it gets canned that will be huge travesty. maybe someone else would pick it up though.

lol i'm pretty sure if you get canceled by ABC Family the only step down left is public access

why do ppl think it'll get cancelled? it's charming, done by gilmore girl person... are the ratings that terrible?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 02:16 (10 months ago) Permalink
ratings not good, but I don't know enough about the ABC Family model so I can't really interpret what it means.
Awkward is back on MTV this week.
