I'm looking forward to the Marx confrontation. I'm still not satisfied with just the Hit Squad death. /blood thirst. I actually watched thetalk show aafter the episode and cracked up when Sutter said "Bitch gotta die" when asked about Gemmas death.

Spoiler

This was actually the first time I have watched an after show with SOA. It was clear listening to Sutter talk that he has planned to kill off Gemma all along and had in mind where he wanted to do it, but just couldn't decide how. Pretty interesting to me.

Jax should die if the show is a play on Hamlet. Jury said that Jax had become the poison. Hamlet dies from poison.

I was hoping in the final scene of SOA, that we'd see a clean shaven Jax working as a blood splatter expert for the Miami Beach police dept.

, I was guessing he would become a lumberjack.

As for the finale:

Spoiler

I didn't think it was bad overall, but it was very predictable. I was happy to see that Chibs didn't have to kill Jax. That would have sucked. But the end with the homeless girl, crows and killing himself as his dad did was just sort of lame. Trying too hard to be poetic or something.

I agree about everything except the lumberjack. I tried to watch a few after shows with Kurt Sutter and it was exactly that. Couldn't watch anymore because he was trying to hard with that stuff. Didn't her to watch the after show this time because it didn't record.

 

[Jiggyfly]

Anobody watched Black Mirror?

It's running again on the DTV Audience network, its a wierd Sci Fi type show best described like this.

An Endemol press release describes the series as "a hybrid of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected which taps into our contemporary unease about our modern world", with the stories having a "techno-paranoia" feel.

I highly reccomend its only about 6 episodes.

Yeah, I didn't like the homeless girl tie-in, but overall it was a good ending. Way better than LOST. They tied a ton of loose ends together in one episode, even if it was just a bunch of killing. Even with the killing, though, the deaths got his club back where it should be, and let his boys get out.

Ascension on SyFy channel is pretty good it reruns again tomorrow morning, worth a watch.

Good time to finally get in to True Detective. Great show and great acting.

AMC’s Walking Dead companion series gets a pilot order

As part of its ongoing commitment to fill television screens with zombies and discussions about zombies well into the foreseeable future, AMC has ordered a pilot for the unnamed Walking Dead companion series it first announced around a year ago. Details remain scarce, but AMC president Charlie Collier has promised the show will take place in areas of the the wide, zombie-filled world not seen in the original show, apparently in response to repeated fan queries about what the hell is happening outside the narrow strip of Georgia where the heroes of The Walking Dead have toiled for the last four years.

“Almost from the beginning of ‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC, fans have been curious about what is going on in the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world. In fact, beyond requests for zombie cameos, it’s the question I get asked the most,” said Collier, who would doubtlessly grant everyone the chance to make a cameo appearance as a zombie if he could.

Walking Dead producers David Alpert and Gale Anne Hurd will executive produce the pilot alongside creator Robert Kirkman. Showrunning duties will go to Sons Of Anarchy producer Dave Erickson, who will also be an executive producer, because one can never have too many. If AMC sticks to its original plans, expect The Walking Dead: Dubai Nights to air sometime in 2015.

Mike Colter is officially Netflix and Marvel’s Luke Cage

With the Daredevil series recently wrapping up filming and Krysten Ritter ready to take on Jessica Jones, Netflix’s very own team of streaming Marvel characters is really starting to come together. The only thing left for it to do is Hire a few more Heroes and everything will be all set for its big Defenders crossover spectacular. It’s just like the Marvel movies, but everything’s on the Internet and everyone involved is slightly less famous!

Luckily, Marvel and Netflix have already found someone to play one of the Heroes For Hire. As reported by Variety, The Good Wife‘s Mike Colter will be playing Luke Cage, the superhero formerly known as Power Man. Colter will make his first appearance as Cage—hopefully sporting his awesome original costume, with its unbuttoned yellow shirt and metal headband/tiara—on an episode of Ritter’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones, which will presumably act as a setup for the pair’s eventual romantic relationship. Luke Cage will then get his own spinoff after that. Marvel’s Jeph Loeb says Colter is “the perfect actor” for Cage, and Jessica Jones showrunner Melissa Rosenberg says he “embodies the strength, edge, and depth of Luke Cage.”

For anyone unfamiliar with Cage, he’s a street-level crimefighter who is, basically, invincible. He likes to hang out with Iron Fist, and together they came up with the brilliant idea of charging people for doing the sort of things that the less-entrepreneurial superheroes do for free. Spider-Man and Daredevil have real jobs—even Superman, if we’re willing to cross company lines—but Cage is smart enough to recognize that if he’s going to be beating up criminals anyway, he might as well get paid for it. We don’t know when the Luke Cage series will premiere, but it will be after A.K.A. Jessica Jones, which itself will be after Daredevil, which will begin at some unknown point in 2015. It’s like a classic comic book mystery!

I'd watch it. At least to see how good it was.

Here’s a tiny bit more information on Fargo’s second season

Now that season two of FX’s series Fargo has secured Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, teasers about its storyline are slowly dribbling out like blood from a beautifully filmed bullet wound. The latest hint about the direction of next year’s story comes in the form of Entertainment Weekly previewing an officially leaked script page from the premiere, giving a few more clues about Dunst and Plemons’ married couple, Peggy and Ed Blomquist. The scene has Peggy trying to quietly rub a mysterious blood stain out of her shirt collar, and offers a few tidbits about their respective personalities. (Ed Blomquist is described as “a cow, basically. Which sounds like a judgment, but is simply his classification in the animal kingdom.”)

In addition to revealing that the Blomquists will be “caught in an escalating war between a local crime gang and a major mob syndicate,” EW quotes showrunner Noah Hawley as saying the upcoming season will have an almost Western-like quality. “The scope of the storytelling this season is a lot bigger, it has more of an epic feel to it,” he says. And along with the show’s 1979 time period, Hawley says the Luverne, Minnesota setting is even more rural. “It’s not the ’70s in a Boogie Nights kind of way,” Hawley adds. So if your “Fargo Season Two” bingo card has a square for “Lots Of Porn,” you can probably forget about that one.
