Yay, Lee Pace

[Colly]

Yay, Jamie Bell

[livid]

Alright, I guess I'll do it.

Yay, Scoot McNairy

[Colly]

What's a Scoot McNairy? That's not even a name.

[livid]

Well it is only because SAG rules are dumb.

But he's a really good actor.

Sorry for the double post but lots of stuff from the TCAs today.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is starring in and producing a comedy for the network with Kathryn Hahn playing his wife.

Between this and The Vatican, Showtime is doing a damn good job of making me less indifferent towards them.

[GoGo Yubari]

Excited to see how Showtime manages to fuck this up.

My hard-on for Ray Donovan grows each week.

Jon Voight is a perfect dick heel.

Excited to see how Showtime manages to fuck this up.

My money's on it goes on for 10 years too long. That seems to be their go-to move.

Has The Vatican been ordered to series? Because I am so ready for Cardinal Coach Taylor

[livid]

Not yet but I can't imagine it won't be with the talent that's involved.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, The Vatican's cast is insane. I can't wait for the amazing first season of that.

So I watched Homeland Season 1 and the first episode of Season 2.

Uhh... the only reason to watch the show is Carrie. Danes is an amazing actress, the character is probably one of the best written characters on television in years and she all around rocks. On the other hand, the rest of the show is irritating. Like, every character. Saul is perhaps the only one I kind of care about, but still.... he's kind of awful. Brody and his entire family? Don't care. New Iranian reporter? Don't care. Sauls failing love life? Don't care. Vice President and CIA drama? Don't care.

With that said, I think I'm done with the show. I don't want to watch the rest of the season. I find myself tuning out more and more from dialogue and my mind wondering during the shows. Claire Danes deserves all the Emmy's. Everything else? Meh. It's kind of funny that a lot of other shows struggle to really write a woman properly but can nail other things right (the Walking Dead), but Homeland has one of the best characters on television who is a woman but I find the rest of the show bad.

[Ant]

I find the character annoying as fuck. Great actress though.

[Gazz]

I shall not hear a bad word against Saul, I will destroy you both.

[Benji]

Homeland...

I liked Brodie in season one, but his season two "waaaah, Carrie, waaah my kids," sudden face turn was just absolutely boring. The guy's motivations got lost somewhere along the way, and I'm praying they fix that in season two or get rid of him. I love Damien Lewis, and he's done a good job with poor characterisation in season two.

[Ant]

WHOSE LINE RENEWED FOR SEASON TWO!

[GoGo Yubari]

Whose Line has been renewed for a second season!

[livid]

GoGo clearly has Ant on ignore.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yep.
