Oerwinde Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Sleepy Hollow was enjoyable, but what made me super angry was: "Officer down officer down!" *cop on other side of town* "oh crap, it must be this random disheveled guy in front of my car right now" *everyone takes him seriously* Well its kind of unclear how far away the other cop actually was. But the other cop was also part of the conspiracy and everyone thought the other cop had lost her faculties when the sheriff was killed The role of Sheriff I'm a little unclear on too. From what I understand they are either an officer of the courts, or the chief of police, while here he was like a beat cop with an office.I think they're treating him like an "old west" sheriff, who was actively involved in the policing of the town. In reality I think the Westchester County Public Safety Department is led by a Sherrif but Sleepy Hollow itself has a Chief of Police as its public safety head. I'm a bit unclear over the delegation of power too - Orlando Jones is playing a police captain, but he seems to have authority over the Sheriff, so I'm thinking that Jones is the Captain of the Westchester County Police (seat in White Plains, not far from Sleepy Hollow about 15 minutes) and that the Sheriff is specific to the town of Sleepy Hollow and falls, at some level, under the direction of Westchester County public safety (thus giving Jones the ability to pull rank on Beharie). I think it might be the other way around, Sheriffs are the heads of county police, while municipal police can be separate. Either way its a great big mess, but really only affects the pilot so it shouldn't be much of an issue in laer episides. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Either way its a great big mess, but really only affects the pilot so it shouldn't be much of an issue in laer episides. Well I'm not an expert. New York seems to use sheriff's differently than we do here, so... the big take-away is that the heroes have trouble from Jones' character and he has some sort of authority over Beharie's character. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
ManifestedISO Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 John Noble is coming to Sleepy Hollow, I read today. A recurring power role, evidently. Not sure what that means, but I loved him in LOTR and Fringe. My hopes for this show in general are secretly skyrocketing. All Stop. On Screen.

Raithe Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Any series that has Clancy Brown in it has a certain amount of win. Then they kill him off in the first 15 minutes. But did I miss any particular reason or how you end up going from "he has no id and thinks he's from 250 years in the past" to "hey, we're not throwing you in the mental asylum and since you were walking around with a skeletal head in a jar we're going to invite you into this case"? I mean sure, two street cops saw a weird headless guy armed to the teeth, and another country sherrif's deputy pulled a gun on the girl, but really there seems to be a large leap somewhere in that mess...

LadyCrimson Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 The penultimate episode of Breaking Bad. Great television, but really, really, really sad. I'm so psyched for the finale. Yeah....Jessie and Walt's son's bits were wrenchers. I guess we know now where that time went. A slow, calm before the storm episode, which I appreciated. Not to mention...Robert Forster as the "vacuum cleaner guy". That was awesome. Series finale of Dexter. A bit anticlimactic, contradicted some character evolution, but otherwise decent. Going to be watching that in a bit. “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I also watched the pilot of Sleepy Hollow so thx for the tip guys as I didn't know about the series until you all discussed it, it does look entertaining and I'll keep following it.

Keyrock Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) This, was some seriously gut-wrenching **** I love that this show pulls no punches. None. Ever. Zero. It is quite hard to watch sometimes, though. On a different note, for whatever reason, I thoroughly enjoy the incredibly awkward Creepy Todd hitting on Lydia scenes. It's soooo creepy.

LadyCrimson Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Series finale of Dexter. A bit anticlimactic, contradicted some character evolution, but otherwise decent. It did feel a bit anticlimactic, what with all the build up. Rather mellow pacing and conclusion, mostly. But it was pretty emotionally sad. I'm not sure it contradicted chr. evolution too much.

Malcador Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 After watching that Hostages show for a bit, I'm still not sure how they can drag a season out of this premise. Also, if these people have eyes, fingers everywhere...how hard can it be to assassinate the President. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

I dunno, it just felt erratic for him to break down. I could see it working if this wasn't the last season, or if there had been an additional 10-15 minutes showing how he was coping with his murderous urges, but ending it by showing him as a lonely lumberjack just lacks in closure.

Also, if these people have eyes, fingers everywhere...how hard can it be to assassinate the President. I thought about watching that, but tuned in to Blacklist instead. Fairly mediocre, had its moments. It could conceivably turn into something good, if for no other reason than James Spader putting it on his back and carrying it there. He was great.

LadyCrimson Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 To quote hubby: "I'm all out of Dexter." Thus he's been watching another Showtime show, called The Big C. I've only seen a few of the episodes and some scenes as I walk by. Seems rather uneven but bits of its black comedy is pretty funny. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Castle. Well the answer to the proposal was as amusing as was generally expected, and then they kept it fairly serious for the rest of the episode. And leaving a season opener on a cliffhanger, that's kind of unusual. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Amentep Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Second episode of SLEEPY HOLLOW was about the sasme amounts of goofy and fun as the first. Definitely did some things I didn't expect. But also a lot of "wait a minute..." moments too. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Raithe Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 The Blacklist looks like it might be interesting. Although there has been a rather large supply of conspiracy/criminal masterminds abounding on tv of late. James Spader working the mojo as the man with a plan. Of course, it's hard not to see it as an "evil" Alan Shore.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Raithe Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 And for random tv news.. SyFy seems to be taking a break from reality tv to do : Deadline - SyFy Projects Syfy has greenlighted a 90-minute pilot for Dominion, a drama based on characters from the 2010 feature Legion, which starred Paul Bettany. The feature’s director/co-writer Scott Stewart is directing the pilot, written by Vaun Wilmott (Sons Of Anarchy). Dominion is described as an epic supernatural action drama set 25 years in the future after a war between an army of angels and mankind has transformed the world. It follows the perilous journey of a rebellious young soldier who discovers he’s the unlikely savior of humanity. Bold Films, which produced the movie for Screen Gems, is co-producing with Universal Cable Prods. Stewart and Bold’s Michel Litvak and David Lancaster executive produce, with Wilmott, co-executive producing. In addition to Dominion, Syfy has narrowed the field for more pickups as I hear the network is considering both pilot and straight-to-series orders. Said to be at the top of the list are four projects, at least one of which is expected to go straight to series. The quartet includes another movie adaptation, 12 Monkeys, from writers Terry Matalas & Travis Fickett, director Jon Cassar and Atlas Entertainment; Clandestine, from actor-writer Todd Stashwick and artist Dennis Calero, described as a swashbuckling space drama/adventure revolving around mercenaries who masquerade as part of an intergalactic fleet; Proof, from Marti Noxon and M. Night Shyamalan, about the son of a billionaire tech genius who offers a large reward for anyone who can find proof of life after death; and Sojourn, from Phil Levens, Jason Blum and Lionsgate, about a space detective tasked with investigating a murder on a starship. Wilmott, repped by WME, which also reps Stewart and Bold, and manager Carel Cutler, is writing the Syfy miniseries development project Ringworld, with Jeff Pinkner, Joby Harold and Akiva Goldsman executive producing, and also penned the Syfy miniseries Darkfall. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Calax Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Watching Shield. You can tell it's Joss Wheatons baby. Although I think they made Colson into to much of the jokster. Most of his lines have been a mix of information/exposition with a quick joke at the end. Also, I'd swear that DL from Heroes is one of the characters with Micah as his kid again. Also, they really pushed out the "Geeks will watch this" bs (he said after watching Darth Vader having a lightsaber duel with a entry level office worker... fueled by pringles) Edited September 25, 2013 by Calax Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
