What was the last TV show you watched?

Of course! Was a better episode this time than the last two I think. What with them venturing into the city again. And Carol! I certainly hope they aren't writing her out of the series after all she's done recently.

I'm confused, in all the wandering, driving, traveling and walking they've done since this series began they're STILL JUST A SHORT DRIVE FROM ATLANTA???? WTF?

"Chosin" - I found this channel on cable "American Hero's Channel", this is the only thing that interested me this weekend. All about the disasterous retreat by Marine and Army units from the Chosin Reservoir in Korea after the massive Chinese counter attack. Grim....

Hmm, perhaps it's a one tank trip? But it does seem odd that they would hang so close for all this time.

Yeah but the damned show was just confusing with all the crap going on forward and back and forward again. Geez! Just tell the story already. What the heck happened and where are we going from here. I have friends come over and we watch it---while drinking beer of course---and we need more beer every episode this season….:doh:

Agreed! It is just nuts and wandering as a script.......

They need a tank of get the Hell going.

I think it's a matter of TV time or perceived time, versus real time. All of these episodes really only add up to maybe a couple of years in real time. Lots of it spent at the farm and at the prison. So it does sort of make sense in that context. And the biters do seem to be getting riper over time.*yucky*

Flea Market Flip
-- In the episode I just saw these two airheads picked up a nice 1930s secretary desk at a flea market and decided to "de-grandma" it by painting it battleship gray and replacing the cabinet door mirrors with steel mesh. :doh:

Thank you for the heads up as I can now avoid that as it would pain me to see that happen to a nice old piece of furniture.

You should have seen what someone else on the show did to a 1941 floor radio.

Sometimes people do things like that to their stuff on "American Restoration" or to their cars on "Counting Cars" and it just pains me to see it.

Restoration Garage. They unveiled the 1935 Bugatti Aerolithe replica. Now if that doesn't get your motor running, look around you, there probably is a mortician standing over you!

I have now watched every episode of The Murdoch Mysteries I can without actually moving to Canada.

"Blackish" - The more I watch this show... the more its beginning to grow on me. Some topics (like teaching your children the value of work) hit home. Particularly with my 21 year old son still rattling around my house. It's hit or miss but with more hits than misses.

Agreed. Short seasons stretched out over however long AMC is jerking us around doesn't help with the flow of the story. Season 4 was 16 episodes and they do a mid season break. Just run the damn episodes! I'm a big boy and can watch 16 episodes..

Watched the last two episodes of this season's "Hell on Wheels." I thought the second-to-last one (SPOILER ALERT - If you haven't seen it and don't want to know what happens, please don't read on) was the best episode in the series.

You were in pain pleading along with everyone else for Ruth to take the pardon. What I love about this episode is that it doesn't boil the morality down to black and white, good versus evil.

Campbell, normally on the side of evil, gave her an honorable way out (several times). Ruth's reasons for dying were not neatly tied up - did she feel guilty for killing Sydney (not really), for the death of her son (yes, but who besides her thinks she was?). Morality is rarely black and white and that ambiguity was echoed throughout the episode.

The town, hardly a paragon of honor and chivalry was mainly united behind saving her. The candlelight scene was powerful with the pitch perfect timing of the morally reprehensible Durant showing up in the shadows with a candle (he has upped his game this season) - which said to me, even someone of his venality, can recognize human goodness when he sees it.

And Cullen and Ruth's scenes together, especially the long night in the prison cell was the closure their long mental romance needed. Her description of seeing him return to the town with his new wife and child was agony - the agony of seeing someone you love with someone else. The writing and her acting captured that better than most authors ever do.

Finally, the graphic, tactile hanging bordered on, but never became, gratuitous - it was brutal, but justified.

The next episode was good, but I think "Hell on Wheels," regardless of whatever it does next season, has had its finest moment.
