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).

Yay Riches! Yay Eddie!

Last night's episode had me in tears. Heart absolutely smashed for Dahlia.

Haven't seen last night's Riches yet. S said it was interesting.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'll wait to post until after more people have watched it, but I hope that it turns some people around on Dahlia.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, oh my, what an episode. The characters are so complex it just hurts me. When they hurt each other, you completely know where it's coming from, and that makes it just so much worse. That's nonspoilery enough for blackfont for a few hours, I think. I'll be anxious to hear what people think.

Hey all. Does the May 1 RICHES have a lot of arc-y stuff? That was the one thing my DVR (or more correctly, my programming of the DVR) screwed up while I was on the road. I noted Sean's comment about a lighter episode, and hope it won't fug with the continuity of things too much.

Also, does anyone know if FX does re-runs of their series after the season ends?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Frank, it does have some stuff happen that could impact the arc, and while it was lighter, I'm not sure it was light considering how it all ended. Do you want a quick recap?

I would love one, but I've still got the two episodes prior (plus this week's, but I'd want the recap before that), so no hurry on it. SO many DVRed shows to catch up on; so little time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Franken,

let me put it to you this way: given what I've seen of the previews, I'm pretty pretty sure that the last 15 minutes of this week's "Riches" ep will affect events in next week's ep. But the most relevant event will likely show up in the previouslies.
