Is This Thing Still On?

Aug 05, 2011 21:01

The time has come to admit White Collar and I aren't enjoying the relationship we once had. And it's not me, it's you and your incredibly inflated I-can-do-no-wrong ego Mr. Eastin. :p If not for Matt Bomer I suspect I would be done, left to cherish two seasons of entertaining TV with iffy plots, yet awesome characters and relationships. So, for now ( Read more... )

true blood, white collar s3

I'm sorry about you and White Collar. Matt Bomer is so pretty. I say you get to keep custody of him and visit him often. :-) Poor Moz. I liked Moz! That's terrible. Original Moz was so cool. :-/

On a different note, I just finished the series of Friday Night Lights. I might be going back through a few of your old entries and commenting on it because I like thinking about it. :-)

Eh, it's OK. Rewatching BSG on BBCA really sent home that that is still very much my One True Show and White Collar could never equal my interest and devotion. I even had to explain to my mom that, while I like Matt Bomer, I love Jamie Bamber...but in the non-creepy way! ;)

FNL! With the wacky Direct TV/NBC deal and scheduling, my posting became rather erratic, but I loved that show so very much. Well, maybe no so much Season 2. ;p But it came back as few, if any, series could and the finale is one of my all time favorites. SO HAPPY Matt and Julie made their way back to each other. :)

On his ep commentary, JE says they killed Hale in order to make Mozzie act, and I quote, "so out of character." :/

Strangely I'm actually happier about the show now then I was at the beginning of the season. Maybe my expectations have dropped? I'm sorry you're not enjoying it. *hugs*

I'm looking forward to Nikita and TVD coming back on in September.

O_o Man, as if my opinion of him as a writer wasn't low enough. Ugh. Where do I begin? He wasted Hale, an intriguing and likable character, who could have been used in future episodes. He killed one character just to trigger another character to act out of character instead of, ya know, working to develop the character's arc to make him reach that point. And if you're writing a lighthearted show, it's nearly impossible to sell such a hard left turn.

I'm glad if the show is on an upswing for you. I certainly don't want to lessen anyone's enjoyment. I too often felt adrift during the last season of BSG. ;) I simply needed to vent and explain why I wasn't posting regularly about the show and unlikely would for the foreseeable future.

I might give Nikita a try. I know people who really seem to enjoy it. I guess it depends what it's up against or if The CW is good about making it available online.

I don't knkow, While all that you mentioned are true i still like this season more than 2 before. The characters became deeper and their relationship are more complicated and i like that. As for Peter's unnecessary detective work? He was jealous :) Sara felt it and left.

I still love the first two seasons. There was a consistency in the character development that I'm not seeing this season. And I don't see the point of having Sara as a regular member of the cast. Having her re-occurring I was fine with.

I'm glad you're enjoying though. I don't want to harsh anyone's squee. And I'll always have the Bamber to keep me entertained. ;)

don't watch tb, but although I will keep watching wc (there are still things I love - El, Diana, and Jones, plus the slashiness), I was also frustrated by ooc behavior.

And your idea that Moz sets up Keller for taking the sub loot? Would be a MILLION times better as a plot. and more ic too. (is my fanon now)

Awwww, thanks. :) I was so convinced that's where the plot was headed because Moz would NEVER hire a hitman. Oh, he would? OK, then!

I'm not sure if you want book spoilers re: Eric/Sookie so I will not say anything about their development. If you want to know, let me know ;)

I hated the witches' storyline, but like you, I am pretty curious about Antonia now. I think it will be VERY interesting if she has crossed paths with Eric before.

The Jason/Hoyt/Jessica triangle is making me a bit icky. Hoyt has been an ass yes, but Jessica has also been restless. They have not been helping each other in this relationship to keep it going.

I really, really dislike Tommy and his storyline. I really don't care :X

asta77 August 7 2011, 16:34:07 UTC

Hee! You can spoil me about anything TB related. ;) I've actually been looking up stuff on Wikipedia to see how the show differs from the books. I just hesitate including any of that in my initial discussion of the episodes because I know some people are either reading the books now or don't want to necessarily know the book canon. I hear there are people NOT happy with the latest book.

It almost feels as if after the writers worked to get Jessica and Hoyt together they either got bored with them or had a change of heart. I do feel Jessica and Jason have chemistry, but we missed Hoyt and Jessica's relationship fracturing in the missing year and Jason and Jessica's attraction was so sudden, it's all feeling a bit odd.

I have a co-worker he hates Tommy as well. Every week she's hoping he's killed off. ;p
