Yeah I like Quinn, you always wondered what he was upto and which side he was on...<br />
<br />
On the Brody thing...<br />
<br />
[spoiler]The fact he went to his old mate and asked him to look after his family again, is another pointer towards him doing it, but I think things are pointing that way for a reason, and I still think it is a set up.<br />
<br />
I think there is still someone leaking info, I also thought it was odd Estes was speaking to Saul when he let him go with that other agent standing at the door given the content of the conversation.<br />
<br />
[/spoiler]<br />
<br />
Certainly enjoyed the direction they took this series, given I think I, like most had my doubts over a 2nd series, if they can do that for another will be great, but am not holding my breath they have enough for a complete series with what we were left with. -

Watched it last night thoughts below<br />
<br />
[spoiler]<br />
Over all I liked it lots of unexpected twists, However it did seem a bit like they only figured out at the last minute they got a 3rd series. Carries expectation the CIA would take her back, where did that come from Estes knew she was mentally unstable, even if he wanted to she was a security risk, never going to happen. Saul and Estes conversation with the guard 3 foot away was dumb. Saul going from only caring about Carries health to wanting her to be a section chief? Umm why? Yes she's good but she is uncontrollable even when on her meds.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to see how she explains to Saul where she was ? Again surely CCTV will show him and her leaving together?<br />
<br />
Finally when I have extra people in my car I know it, it handles differently feels different accelerating braking etc.. Surely if you have enough explosives to level a building in the boot of your car you notice it ? Or is this stuff so high powered that it weighs less then a person?<br />

watched the last series of Dexter, I enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
Also liked the Isaac Sirko character.<br />
<br />
[spoiler]I think what made it was Dexters life unravelling and everything he tried, something else happened, and him questioning his 'code'<br />
<br />
I think they could have ended the series after this one, with him and Hannah ' riding off into the sunset'<br />
<br />
Glad they got rid of La Guerta finally, but will be interesting to see how they deal with that though.<br />
<br />
Shame they killed Sirko off the way they did.[/spoiler] -
Approaching the last two episodes of The Sopranos.<br />
<br />
Had never watched it until Sky made the box set available On Demand. Since then have killed the entire series. Very excited to be sitting down, alone, with no interruptions to see how it plays out.<br />
<br />
See you on the flipside. -

Faaaaaaark!<br />
[/quote]Brilliant. I never watched the series but remember hearing all the buzz about the final episode being on and stumbled upon it whilst flicking channels, so left it on. Pissed myself laughing at that ending. -

So Sorkin fans - what's the verdict on Newsroom. Personally I'm loving it. It has all the trademarks of his drama's but I'll put up with a lot just for the quality of his monologues. Just like Jed Bartlett was the President we should have, Newsroom is the TV news we will never get.<br />
[/quote]<br />
Finally got round to watching The Newsroom. First up, I'm a big Sorkin fan, I loved the West Wing and Sportsnight and thought Studio 60 was a good season of TV.<br />
<br />
Basically The Newsroom is just Aaron Sorkin's attack on the Tea Party (and partially Fox News) and good on him I say. And in all of his stuff he actually makes Republicans come across as better than they appear in the media - has any Republican of recent years been as on to it as Alan Alda's character on The West Wing.<br />
<br />
My biggest problem with it is that its sentimentality goes overboard a bit, stuff that worked on The West Wing and Sportsnight doesn't really work as well here, but that could be familiarity of the writer more than anything else.<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to the 2nd series and hope he jettisons the too sentimental stuff. I'm looking forward to more Olivia Munn too, every show should have more Olivia Munn. -

Yeah, I did the classic thing and thought the DVD was bung. Thought about it a bit since and reckon it was about as good an ending as they could have made. I know what I think happens but don't know how to do that 'spoilers; thingy on posts otherwise I would say. Mind you, it's been years since the ending aired so probably no biggie. -
Watched the first ep of Banshee and it looks worth a go. Good production values and scripting. Characters are interesting.<br />
<br />
Obviously the first ep was establishing the bones of the story and without giving anything away, the basic premise is a newly released con that has a situation land in his lap where he can take the identity of an out of town Sheriff just arriving at the town of Banshee (it makes better sense when you watch it). He has his reasons for wanting to be there as well.<br />
<br />
You never really thought you were watching Van/Jethro either, so that was good on Antony Starr's part. -
I see Banshee is up on SoHo pretty quick. For those of you that have seen it andwant more background info I suggest you go to the Cinemax website and check the extras. there are a whole bunch of 'flashback' clips that flesh out the backstory and characters. There is also a Graphic Novel free pdf download with the story of the job that had Hood jailed in the first place.

<br />

First ep has also been provided for free on Youtube by Cinemax. They are investing a fair bit in trying to get this one off the ground. -
