after Rome, it was a bit of a tepid start
I'd have to agree. I'm trying to remind myself that I felt the same way after the first hour of Rome, though -- I had to take the words of people who'd seen more that it got better after the pilot eps.
Still, I've just watched the first hour of The Tudors and I'm not feeling the urge to watch the other two right now. It's not that it's bad, just not as involving as I'd hoped. (And Showtime's fake historical sex is worse than HBO's -- seriously, do these directors just not know which bits are supposed to fit together?)
Heh. My friend T and I looked at each other at the first gratuitous sex scene and were like, "He didn't take off his pants, did he?" "Nope, didn't even finish unbuttoning them." "Guess Henry's a hump monkey then."
I think it's one of those things I'll watch when the stuff I'm really eager to watch have their season finales. No urge, but interesting enough not to ditch right away.
But the mystery of why he had so much trouble fathering heirs is solved at last!
wow...I knew I had it going on when I wrote that.
This is probably the first time ever that I said this straight, but seriously, thanks for sharing.
You Austin cocksucker.
Got a question, folks. Can we talk about The Riches in here? I know it's not on Showtime or HBO, but it's the kind of programming that seems to fit with the other shows we *do* talk about in here.
I would do it...it's Hamsterdam.
We can do what we want.
But the chair didn't recognize my ass so I'll leave it to the fucking majority...you feel me?
Thanks, dawg.
Yeah, I see why SA would say that "The Riches" feels like an HBO show, what with its morally ambiguous, literal "born-criminal" leads and, I know I say this about shit all the time, but there are echoes of "The Wire's" "I got the gun. You got the briefcase," in their finding that Lawyer and Lawyer's Wife might be the biggest racket of them all. Thoughts?
Honey-nut cheerios:
Someday, I *may* get over mixing words like "dawg" with words like "morally ambiguous", but I doubt it.
Might always make me giggle. Like the word "intimacy" now does.
Fuckin' keeps me out of both grad school AND Dr. Phil.
I'm sure you can imagine how my heart bleeds about that, in both instances.(McNutty eyebrow face)
