Experimental TV: Cable Drama  

This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will be closed on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will engage in creative discourse about the future direction of our boards. This is the thread for cable aired drama. All discussion must be in whitefont, with the name of the show upfront, for 24 hours after the show airs, presumably in the US. No future spoilers in thread (take those to the spoiler thread for serious ones or spoilers light for casting type info).

Sorry, this isn't the thread for Jericho!

(I thought I'd posted about it -- but it's over in the network drama thread.)

Does AMC repeat it any other time during the week?

Doesn't look like it, sumi. I recorded t and haven't watched it yet, if you want to see it.

I do want to see it, but given that I haven't watched my tape from last week. I can wait a bit!

Ooops, sorry.

I'll hold onto it in case you want it. Assuming I watch it anytime soon, myself. Last week's was okay but didn't really fill me with excitement for the rest of the season.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I got to watch it last night. Mr. Jane and I used to try to catch it all the time, but then something happened and we couldn't find it anymore. Which is a long way of saying, "What happened to Mickey?"

He's in Australia, selling the Opera House or something. It doesn't make sense to me, and I miss him.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, we miss the Mick, we do. That smile could sell me a thousand bridges and I'd buy every time. Plus I just miss his dynamic. I miss the way he moved things, made things happen.

But I like the way they've chosen to deal with it; the team struggling with the leadership vaccuum, Danny looking to find his feet. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that he was working short con.

It actually makes it harder for me to watch the show, though, because I have great fears about getting caught. With Mickey, I could believe that something brilliant was just around the corner. But now, it just makes me scared!

Anyway, I like the new guy, think he's got potential. I like the idea of Albie taking him under his wing, as he did for Mickey and to a certain extent, Danny.

This episode was funny because I was wondering about how they'd get the painted horse back to its owner and was picturing a humorous scene with the original owner and a wrong-looking horse. But then when they were all running away and it was all unraveling, I was all, well, guess it'll get back to the owner now. Did Archie take back the original horse, do you think, when he was driving away with the trailer, leaving them all in the dust?

Heheh. I like horses. You can tell, huh? There's this big con, they nearly get caught, they nearly run a loss, there's personnel changes, lots of dynamic changes, and I'm all, I wonder what happened to the horses?

State of Play is getting a second season!

And they're getting John Simm and Bill Nighy back for sure. Possibly the others as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On Hustle, I'd love to compare the scenes of Danny showing up at Mickey's door with the new guy showing up -- cute!
