worth catching a later show if you missed it tonight... WOW!
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,267 posts)I really like the show, except that I totally hate both McKenzie and Maggie. They spend way too much time babbling and shrieking.

(5,062 posts)Sucks because now we have to wait til June 2013 to see the next season. I LOVE HBO. I think they do the best series and most important, the network stands behind them and fights for them. They ordered a second season of the Newsroom right after the pilot aired and with Boardwalk EMpire, they ordered a full second season before the pilot of season one even aired.
My only complaint and this is the only problem I have with HBO is that I wish they would do more episodes for a season. For HBO, ten episodes is a season. I know we are lucky because a show like Downton Abbey only gets 6 or 7. Still, I wish they could either A) take 6 months off instead of a year or B) produce 15 or 16 episodes per season.
A show like CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM returns whenever Larry David feels like it.
Oh, and tonight's episode knocked it out of the fricking park! I like the fact there was no cliffhanger or that it ended with high drama. Wish more shows would end for the season like this.

and thought it was great. Haven't watched since, though. Been busy on Sundays the last few weeks. I'll try to catch replays, or see if it's On Demand

(90,740 posts)Just don't agree with the out given to republicans that allows them to separate themselves from the Bachmann's within their party.
It's not a new idea being floated, I know. The show isn't the first to put that thinking forward.
And it's not just a device for Will's character to be appealing to liberal viewers and have them cheering a ("real" republican. It's more than just audience appeal. It's a lifeline for real life republicans to embrace....should they choose.
I know you're supposed to give your opponent an out that allows them a chance to save face - which gives them the open they need to turn on certain people or groups of people (like the members of the tea party) without appearing to turn on their own party as a whole. Fully understand how that bit of manipulation works.
Still - no.
The GOP spawned every single Michele Bachmann in America. They did it intentionally. They are the same. The GOP has caused too much harm to America/Americans for me to ever pretend there's a difference.
That said. I love the show.

(62 posts)I haven't seen this episode yet. I will later tonight. But next June? Damn that is a long wait.
This is the first American television show that I have followed in years, and I have really enjoyed it!

(391 posts)Remember the deleted message at the end? Bet the character Nina Howard either gets busted and her computer confiscated by the FBI and that deleted file will be one of the files restored...........or that file was captured by WikiLeaks and will be among the many which resurfaces.
Whatever the case, I have a feeling that message will come up again. Just maybe and if so I bet Mackenzie hears it.

Great job

(391 posts)Well I guess we'll find out next year.
Great show isn't it.

(22,755 posts)I was left with the sense that the death threats will play a much bigger role... I think the "being high" concern is of no consequence??
your guess is as good as mine though
Ya Basta
(391 posts)Your thought is a good one too. I wonder if they ever read the DU and get ideas?

(12,081 posts)always come out on HBO first. I mean I'm glad that HBO has such great writers but some of us don't have HBO. Is there another way to catch this show? I would like to watch it.
