Me too. I can't take any more disappointments!

This and The River are what I am looking forward to in the next few weeks!

I just watched Lost's "The Pilot" and "Through the Looking Glass". Oh Hurley! I miss having a show that I am excited to talk about with you guys.


You've been hotpocketed!

I liked it! DBF kept complaining all through it that it was going to end up like Lost and you wouldn't know what's going on. (he gave up on Lost, he wanted answers)

So Lucy? hmmmmmm she's also in the time warp thingie and Cobb knew her. Interesting.

After the "flashback" to them having a date, the line "you always wanted kids" seems to have taken on more meaning. Are they a time-shifting couple. One that ages and one that does not?

I liked it. Just as long as my attention span doesn't wander and it keeps making at least ½ sense.


I sure hope they aren't stealing leftover Stargate wormholes off the old set.

Moderately interesting-- worth watching another episode, not sure if I'll make it through the entire season.

I liked it ... with reservations. I'll watch it a few times and see if I get hooked.

I'll echo everyone else. I liked it. I don't know if I liked it more because I so wanted to like it. But it does have potential. It has potential both to really get dull or it can suck me in with a good mythology story.

I think the only twist I did not see coming was her grandfather being the one who pushed her father.

I know I'm hung up on Lost but was Emerson's named after Micheal Emerson

I am looking forward to the next episode. And yes, that whole grandad was an inmate thing? I'd be back at that bar in a flash asking the bartender/uncle why he never corrected her and said the guy was a prisoner, not a guard. Or am I confused about that?

I recorded this; so you're saying I shouldn't waste my time?


TFSHC
I've stashed him on Alcatraz! The fooner will never find him now!

"Why Yes.."
Posted by foonermints on 01-24-12 at 04:25 PM
I think you shouldn't bother.
AND as a gift of appreciation you should send me something really nice. Like a moneygram.
Alcatraz?! Then I won't see TFSHC for 50 years!

I've got this cutie stashed somewhere more pleasant...

maybe all 3 of these should hibernate together

Hibernate? It's 80° all week here!


Time to strip down.

After watching a few episodes, I like it. It's very character driven, and so far I'm enjoying the leads. I'm not even paying attention to the "mystery" part so much (and maybe the writers aren't, either, I haven't been bothered enough to care).

It's no LOST, but it's better than the cookie cutter crime dramas out there.

I agree. It is worth watching and could develop into something really interesting. Sam Neill's ambiguity is worth is alone.

in the hole? And are those keys cropping up the same ones that open those doors? That's what they look like.

I missed it. Anybody want to fill me in? I think it will only take one or two misses to become Lost forever here.

Until the first season memorial cancellation disc comes out on Ebay for 99¢.

Missed it again, did you?

Where's the excitement?

I was watching this show. But after last week I gave up. They just were not giving me enough answers to keep watching.

Agree, they need to cut back on the weekly procedural plot line and provide more hints as to why the criminals are coming back.
"Gas!"
Posted by foonermints on 03-27-12 at 10:00 AM
It turns out to be Gas. Possibly Geothermal, but it may be the scriptwriters. Anyway - it's gas.

Nice job having Grandpa stab old whats-her-face to death.
Now she's out of a job, you moron! Have you any idea how hard it is to get an acting job? Sheesh!

Oh well, I'll just drive over to a street corner and pick her up in West Hollywood.

And tell her how sorry I am.

foonermint and Hop Sing: So Sorry!
