The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

Film and TV discussion

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

A creepy thing, for me, is that the police (really just Gustafson) are just letting them get away with what really could have been murder in a show set so thoroughly in San Diego. Given the old Craig Peyer case, it's weird.

Also while there are a lot of huge class differences in San Diego, they are making it more of a "thing" in places it's not. Ocean Beach isn't that far from La Jolla. Plus Hank's house isn't exactly in a cheap neighborhood or location, even if he does have jets inevitably taking off over his head.

But I am really loving Terriers. I can't wait to see where it goes and how these characters develop. It's the characters that have me hooked with all of their messiness. Life is messy.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I didn't watch the preview, of course the frickin' case isn't closed!

There was nothing in the preview about the larger arc (that I could tell).

Wait, crap, how are the ratings?

I was talking to Donal's old college roommate this past weekend (how's *that* for name-dropping?) who told me that Donal was worried because no one was watching.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I've been on TWoP. The ratings are dismal. Even Veronica Mars got more viewers.

Damn, another show I like that will likely go away. I've really liked each episode more than the last.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, no, really? I just assumed people were watching because it's good and I see references to it on twitter.

There may be a flaw in my logic, but the larger point is: rats!

Didn't DISH Network drop FX recently? I imagine that can't be helping with ratings.

The good thing about FX is that it won't be taken off the air before the season is over. So there's that.

I probably should add that I'm really enjoying Terriers, and because I'm watching MythBusters clip shows this weekend, I have to say that Britt and Hank's method of body disposal reminded me of the MythBusters Crash and Burn episode.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I pimped Terriers to my Jossverse ex-bandmate. I dunno who else needs to be watching.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Donal was worried because no one was watching.

I am not no one! Though, you know, I know I don't contribute to any U.S. ratings. Rats.

But I really do enjoy this show (and I can say that some local Israelis are enjoying it too). Even when the theme gets stuck in my head for hours. And I really love Stephanie's character. I totally get her on the Proust thing. The dude's depressing, and that's that.
