Tv shows and series

...but I get to choose the music.

I'm drunk now.

One thing I am irrationally irritated by is the American pronunciation of "Cosmos", which is a bit of a problem in the context of this particular show.

Said on facebook, but would rather bring the discussion here:



I loved Lost. Really. I loved the premise, the setting, the constant mystery, the music and the beautiful people. It will always have a special place in my heart. But even I recognised its bad writing. For that reason, objectively it just can't compete with far better written TV shows out there.

Subjectively, of course, is a different matter. There was something inexplicably appealing about Lost, but ultimately it was let down by sloppy writing. Had it had better writing, then yes, this could have been one of THE truly great TV shows. But, alas, it wasn't the case.

I agree with Steven...again! Something very appealing about the show, but ultimately frustrating because of the stupidity of the script and their desire to take everything so far that they could never write themselves in again.

Here's one potentially for you, Thor:



After discovering a show I had never heard of and reading positive reviews, then watching two episodes, I can say a relatively short-lived show (only two seasons, 44 episodes) called "Mysterious Ways" (2000) was a sleeper that apparently didn't get much attention.

It starts Adrian Pasdar (star of a great short-lived series called "Profit"), Rae Dawn Chong, and Alison Down as Pasdar's moody and anti social assistant.

Declan (Pasdar) and Miranda (Down) work at a university where Declan teaches history/archeology. In his spare time, he investigates unexplained miracles, always hoping he might be there that one time is a to witness or prove the Hand of God, or at least intelligently debunk the mystery with facts.
He quickly befriends and calls on Dr. Fowler (Dawn) to help here and there, what with her being a psychologist.


The show is well written and plotted. I'm two episodes and aside from show bad acting from the mother in the pilot, so far so good -- satisfying and slowly unflowering.

Declan is a classic quirky character with wit and intelligence, and a ugly shaggy dog that may be part Wookie.


It's not an amazing series (so far), but it may well be worth your time (it's kind of slow, in a good way; I recall Thor saying he liked slow shows). A little spirituality, a little mystery, and a little unexplained phenomenon. And some little laughs.


The scoring by Terry Fewer, is unremarkable and often times just sort of blends so much into the background, it might as well not even be there. The opening/closing theme is terrible -- that should have been tossed an better music done.

Here's the pilot:

You mean to say, you've grown up?!

No, I enjoy a number of eisodes of "MacGyver" (the more serious one, mostly), but as a whole I can't say I like the series. It was just a large uneven misfire. And most of the TV series I enjoy, are ones that mix seriousness with various amounts some lighter air.

I watched a couple more episodes and I got to say: this is a really good show.

Is it dead children puishing cars off a railroad track area where a schoolbus full of children where killed 20 years ago? Or is there more than meets the eye. Very clever show (very clever episode I referenced).

Just watched the last episode. I liked it! So... [spoiler]what was with that weird spinning cloud thing in the abandoned bunker scene at the end of the last episode?[/spoiler]

OK
