Did that used to be GetGlue?

This I do not know.

You're welcome. Some people at work have been watching it as well and we have talked more about it than we have The Walking Dead. As for your spoiler, I don't know what we are going to find out in the last two episodes but the creators said that we will know what happened. I am not sure how they can promise that but we will see.

Spoiler:

I guess the answer to this is that they are providing new proof that the police do not even have. Wow with that letter and the poor step-son who realized he had backed the guy who killed his step mother. Also, as someone pointed out elsewhere, Durst having to literally wipe the smile off his face while talking about his "friends" death. "California is a big state".

Although most probably a very devious criminal, That guy would be a terrible poker player. He has an eye twitch tell that he seems to do whenever he tells a lie.

Wow. The ending. I guess we really do "know" what happened.

I guess the last episode of Jinx was tonight? Yahoo news had this headliner story tonight. Pretty amazing conclusion to the show if you ask me.

How can the dead walk?

[allasorte]

There's a British, UK, show running now called "Fortitude." Placed in the arctic, a small town, detective type show. Stanley Tucci shows up from Europe to investigate a murder. Beautiful scenery, nice cast, good acting. Not dark like True Detective, but it does have some gruesome moments. It's not a bad show and I'm glad I found it. If anyone likes this type of show I recommend it.

And yes I agree with Mike, Better Call Saul's last 2 episodes have been great. Good back story and Saul finally has a good case for himself. Only 2 episodes left. Time flies too fast.

Not very confidently apparently, but they do somehow on AMC. LOL

Started Six Feet Under, Season 4 over the weekend.

I really, REALLY want to watch Carnivale. I've read the synopsis and everything about that show seems right up my alley... but there is no way I will be able to enjoy it to its fullest knowing it was cancelled after 2 seasons when the creators originally planned a 6 season arc. All those unanswered questions will drive me insane.

I watched it. It's creepy. There are things that are unanswered and the finale of season 2 was......wtf. It would have been great to see just 1 more season. But it is what it is. I thought it was better then the American Horror Story creep show season. I've honestly considered watching Carnivale again. You should watch it, if you think it's up your alley you will regret not giving it a shot. Just 2 seasons so it'll end quickly. It sucks that it happened that way, but at least it wasn't 1 season like "Firefly".

We dont know the answer to that yet in the world of the story.

OR

It's a metaphor for the survivors.

Take your pick...

Carnivale is GREAT

[fernandito]

So I've heard! I just can't look past the cancellation bit :/

[Heather19]

Hurry up and get past it, and watch it! I loved Carnivale, such a great show.

[allasorte]

Because of you, I decided to re-watch Carnivale. Honestly, I like it much more the second time around. It really was a great show.

[fernandito]

but... but.... but....

there won't be any closure tho

should I watch it anyway?

I can make up an ending for you if you like .
The show is not just about a freak carnival, it's about good vs. evil. That's all I'll say, but it's nowhere near as horrible of an ending like the manga anime of Berserk when the original cartoon was 24ish episodes and ended. Then you look for the next episode and there isn't one when there obviously should be, if you have seen it then you know what I'm talking about. That was the dumbest thing that anime could have done or any show for that matter.
Carnivale has an ending, well, sort of. The closure would be like "Inception" where you have to decide what you believe the ending will turn out to be. I know that's a dumb answer, but for how great the show was, 24 episodes, it'll be worth it. Contact HBO after and threaten them to bring it back............or else!
Apparently the ideal season total from the creator was supposed to be 6 seasons. So that stings when I looked it up

Yes

Never did get to the end of season 2. Curious about how big of a cliffhanger it is, and if some of the story gets explained, at least.

There's allegedly information out there about more detailed character back stories.

spoiler like

Knauf would not release a detailed run-down of intended future plots to fans, explaining that his stories are a collaboration of writers, directors and actors alike.[44] He and the producers did, however, answer a few basic details about the immediate fate of major characters who were left in near-fatal situations in the final episode of Season 2. Knauf additionally provided in-depth information regarding the underlying fictional laws of nature that the writers had not been able to fully explore in the first two seasons. June 2007 however marked the first time that a comprehensive work of detailed character backgrounds was made public. Following a fundraising auction, Knauf offered fans a so-called "Pitch Document," a summary of Carnivàle '​s first season. This document was originally written in 2002 and 2003 to give the writers and the studio an idea about the series' intended plot, and answered many of the show's mysteries

[Heather19]

After all this talk about it I think I'm going to do a rewatch of Carnivale now too

[fernandito]

Ok. You guys convinced me. I was going to start Deadwood after I wrap up Six Feet Under, but I'll move on to Carnivale instead.

Dammit, my TV schedule is so fickle lol.

I just binge watched first two seasons of Arrow. I'm not a fan of Capes & Tights at all. Other than a few select movies and comics the whole thing is as interesting as watching grass grow. That said, Arrow is a pretty good show. He's like an entry level Batman but his persona is much darker. I've overlooked some of the cornball elements (some dialogue, unconvincing acting in early episodes, every character could be a model etc.) in favour of a solid, complex story. I thought I'd hate it but now I'm looking for season 3 online.

I like it too, but I think Flash is much better. As for Arrow I think the fighting scenes are sometimes pretty bad as in done poorly and:

I loved how he didn't care and was killing people off. Now he doesn't, so he reminds me too much of Batman

But, I still enjoy the show a lot, just saying some things I feel need to be addressed to make it better.

Deadwood is by far my favorite show, and I've never been a huge western fan. The acting, writing, characters are astonishing to me. A word to the wise. Watching may change your vocabulary. The creators attempted to make it accurate, so the swearing is off the charts back in the day. Numerous times people cut me off in a line or bumped into me rudely and I've spoken out loud instantly calling that person, a man or woman, a fuck, cocksucker, or cunt. You have been warned
