TV shows! Movies! Opinions!

Finally, TV shows have returned!!
The Good Wife. OHMYGOD Cary's in jail - wait what is that thing now, where all TV shows get someone in jail? I've seen Bones's promo, Booth is going to jail too?! - Anyway, ohhh poor baby Cary... So lost and deshiveled and scared...

Gotham. Hmmm meh. Don't know. Probably won't hold against Castle's premiere next week. (Because you know, kidnapping! What is this with TV shows....)

Person of Interest. Bar fight, check, truck crash, check. John brooding because he needs a purpose, check. The Machine, still there. For sure we're back on tracks. ;-) I still miss Carter. I found her more interesting than the two crazy girls.

I'm also tempted by Red Band Society and How to Get Away with Murder. Has anyone tried those?

And movies!
Space Station 76. Maaaatt. Basically I could watch anything with Matt (besides butcheries) and find it entertaining from the simple view of Matt.(You all know exactly what I mean..) The film itself was a bit uneven. Some great moments ("I'm not really into aging") some a bit more boring... But the cast was great.

The Fault in Our Stars. YES I saw it! They showed it for free at Union South! Very faithful to the book. They left out a couple of details, but most of it is exactly like in the book. Actors are great. Definitely mostly a teen movie, though a good teen movie. Unsurprisingly, I cried.

I was a bit hesitant about watching POI because the last season was a bit up and down (and up) for me. Your post pushed me into watching it today rather than in a few days time, and yes, really enjoyed it!! Still miss Carter, but this was fun!

Besides, we got to see quite a bit of Bear. That's always a plus for me!! :)

(I have one, just one, Person of Interest icon. This is it. I think this might state my preferences, character-wise, lol!!)

LOL true about Bear. I did think about you, when I saw him. It's kind of funny because you feel that they don't really know what to do with the dog. He's not exactly useful, but still they can't get rid of him, so they just walk him around...

After the first 3 seasons, I think there's a repetitive pattern. First half of the season is gripping with a big emotional mid-season, and then the end of the season slips toward more crazy stuff, conspiracies, talks about gods... That I find a lot less interesting. But then they always find a way to fall back quickly enough on their feet for the next premiere and it all goes back to normal. And this S4 premiere just proved it. They're going to use that TV antenna secret network, the Machine is going to continue giving numbers and John will have his purpose, while another level of the big conspiracy will enravel...

I was pleasantly surprised about How to Get Away with Murder. I'll definitely be checking it out again and lately there are very few shows that make it to that list. :(

I've heard good things about it, and I love Viola Davis. Will definitely check it out. Maybe even tonight!
