The first four episodes of Don't Trust The B In Apartment 23 is awesome.

[GoGo Yubari]

It just gets better. Keep watching.

Boardwalk Empire:

Great finale. I love that ultimately, Nuck beat Gyp Rosetti and Joe Masseria and Arnold Rothstein by using his old tricks of bring a brilliant political player instead of just a brutal gangster. And oh fuck, Richard's rampage through the Commodore's house.

Bobby Cannavale's Steve Buscemi impersonation was hilarious too.

In non-spoiler Boardwalk news, George Pellecano and Dennis Lehane will be joining the writing staff for season four. That is fucking awesome. Boardwalk has such a great writing staff (including Howard Korder, who wrote Boys Life, a play that has a fantastic monologue that I mangled the shit out of in my first year at college).

Yeah, some great seeds were planted for the future while giving this season a solid sense of conclusion.

In no particular order, the best scenes were probably Margaret at the Abortionist, Richard's Rampage, Richard Delivers Tommy (totally cried here), and Nucky and Margaret.

"This is only money. It doesn't mean anything."

"Yes, it does."

[Benji]

Really enjoying Chicago Fire. It's not an amazing show, but between the cast and the primary storyline, it's managed to hook me in.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Richard's killing spree was everything I hoped for and more. I was so pumped up to see what he was going to do and he didn't disappoint. I loved the finale. I thought Nucky using his old ways was bad ass. I actually cheered when Mellon said 'Arnold Rothstein' during the phone call. Can we please get James Cromwell on the show next season too? I enjoyed the Margaret bits in this episode and sat there during the abortion scenes thinking 'No way she goes through with it, no way she goes through with it... holy crap she went through with it.'

And Bobby Cannavale will be missed. He was fantastic in every episode he was in and had some great scenes throughout the season.

I'm excited to see where they go with the story next season.

[Baddar]

Just watched the season finale of True Blood. It was a decent season, but nothing outstanding.

It took forever to actually confirm, but The L.A. Complex is done

I mean, The CW hasn't confirmed but if fucking MuchMusic isn't renewing it for a third season, that's it.

I saw yesterday but didn't want to say anything holding out for the miracle that the CW would save it

[Ruki]

Apparently Revolution is off air until March 25th. Boo. Now what am I supposed to do at work?

[LL!]

Watch something good.

[Benji]

The advert for FX changing to FOX pisses me off. They advertise as airing "right after the US", then show Dexter and Louie. Dexter always airs about 9 months after it has in the US, and Louie is going to air season one in the new year... two and a half years after it started in the US.

Fuck you, FOX. Fuck. You.

[LL!]

Well, considering Louie won't be coming back till 2014, it'll give them plenty of time to air the past three seasons.

Star Trek TNG is on Netflix!

[Benji]

Star Trek TNG is on Netflix!

It's been re-released in HD. I've had season one recording on my TV for the last few weeks for when I finally get to the end of Voyager, though I may not be able to wait. Nobody beats Picard!

[Toe]

Season One of TNG is just so bland, outside of Q of course. I'm almost at season 2, which I know is better. I've seen the whole series before, but never in order.

[KONGO]

It all turns around when Riker gets his beard.

[Hobo]

DS9 has a similar moment when Avery Brooks shaved his head and grew a goatee.

[Benji]

It all turns around when Riker gets his beard.

Riker just isn't Riker to me until he gets that badass tribble on his face.

[KONGO]

It's kind of fun that he has to be baby Riker first, though.

[Nick Adams]

So there's the explanation for why Insurrection tanked - Riker shaves. Not that Data has to learn to be a kid, or that they find the fountain of youth, or that plastic surgery is actually even worse in the future. Nope, Riker goes beardless and everything goes to hell.

I saw both of the special screenings of TNG Blu-ray screenings. I hate to admit it, but I fell asleep during the episode where we first met the Borg. Just not my cup of tea, really. The extended version of "The Measure of a Man" was great, though. The image quality is incredible. It's just a pity that they filmed it in regular 35mm format - no widescreen option. Ah well, I can always wait until they get around to going Blu-ray on Voyager.
