If I may, I know that on my behalf it is because I now enjoy hate-watching. -- nm

I'm a few episodes behind but I'll finish the season. I just wish the tv networks would look at a show like this and say we're going to do this show - pmb Apr 30, 12:03 6
- limiting could be good; but, maybe even more likely would be shorter seasons, a la the UK series. - b. Apr 30, 12:11
- writing a network show is like laying down tracks for a constantly approaching freight train - charlie Apr 30, 12:09 3
  - I imagine that would require tons of antacids. -- nm - Diva Apr 30, 12:11 2
    - it varies from show to show. CBS procedurals keep bankers' hours because they are pure formula. more ambitious shows can be hectic-er -- nm - charlie Apr 30, 12:19 1
      - hm. we need you to get on one the more creative/crazier ones and give us all the scoop. -- nm - Diva Apr 30, 12:32
- yes. I like that AHS does this but I hope they reign in it some for the next season. 'Asylum' was often unwatchable. -- nm - Diva Apr 30, 12:06
Which is why I continued to watch. Though I wont be back. Just wanted to finish it out. -- nm - Jovian Apr 30, 11:41 10
- I felt this way about Alcatraz -- nm - Epiphany Apr 30, 11:44 2
  - heh. yea, I reached my breaking point with Alcatraz. I jumped ship after episode 5 or 6 -- nm - Jovian Apr 30, 11:54 1
    - Another show on target to write itself into a corner and have a lackluster payoff. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 11:55
- it's funny how much I liked bitching about it, but now in light of what's been going on in Boston it just makes every depiction of the FBI - Diva Apr 30, 11:44 6
  - one of the reasons I liked Die Hard 4 was their depiction of the FBI - Beaker Apr 30, 11:46 5
    - Hannibal's depiction of the FBI is pretty spot on (though unfortunately this is the 'thriller' show that will get cancelled) -- nm - Jovian Apr 30, 11:50
    - pretty much. 1. Die Hard 4, 2. Silence of the Lambs...and um, um...:) -- nm - Diva Apr 30, 11:47
    - (similar to my reading, I am so sick of books with a man/woman being chased by unknown forces who meets a man/woman who needs/provides assistance) - Beaker Apr 30, 11:47 2
      - same as the 'evil' small town, they always bump into the *one* person who knows and can help but somehow is not in danger themselves -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 11:53
      - several+ years ago, I had to stop reading "woman/girl has a horrid life but overcomes" books. - b. Apr 30, 11:52
