Yeah, I like the Walking Dead although I do think they've slowed the pace down a lot
They definitely have. They've been looking for that little girl for 3 episodes. I really thought that they were going to find her this past week when the guy with the crossbow found the house and the blankets in the bottom of the pantry. Would have been a logical way to end that plot.

Knowing that show, though, they're probably waiting until everyone is all happy and settled in to the farm house and then the little girl, all zombified, will show up and start feasting on her mother's brains until the little chinese guy shows up to hack her head off with a machete.

The Walking Dead, as with most shows, was awesome when I had the entire first season DVR'ed and could watch it all back to back. Taking it week by week makes it feel a lot slower paced.

Agreed, I watched the first six episodes on Netflix over two days, that probably added to my sense of pacing.

Sons of Anarchy---

Sure seems someone, or a few people, aren't going to make it past this season.
[SHOW]
Clay- no way he survives, does he? Is it Jax or Opie that takes him out?
Tara- poor girl has a big target.
Juice- trusting the Feds, not gonna be pretty unless he flips it like Jax did last season.

All in all, this season has been awesome. Lots going on, and made up for stupid Cartel decision.
RIP Piney

Anybody catch Person of Intrest? Kind of reminds me of the old 80's show The Equalizer, only updated. Jim Caviezel's is pretty good, he plays the part so low key yet he is such a bad ass.

I wrote about it a few pages back. It's my favorite new show of the season. The most recent new episode is the best yet, IMO.

I've started watching Fringe from the beginning and I like it a lot. BUT, I have to say, I've really come to find the 13 episode season ideal. You start to realize how much time is spent spinning wheels when you go back to watching a normal 22-23 episode drama.

I keep waiting for Fringe to show up on Netflix. It's on my to do list.

Is it a show I can jump in on, or do I need to start at episode one? I want to check out the Abrams/Benjamin Linus action, but it isn't OnDemand. Looks like Hulu has the most recent three.

You should be able to jump right in.

I second that. Seeing the 1st episode would help, but isn't necessary.

Well, another episode down and while it was a pretty good episode, there was almost nothing to advance the overall plot. The redneck guy has some injury-induced visions of his dead brother. OK. They still can't find the girl. The old guy is getting more annoyed with the group. Let's get things going a little next week...
