It's Friday, that means Fringe! Usually. I discovered that I didn't watch last weeks episode (4x09?) and I suspect I'll be thinking on Wednesday or something: Hey, I didn't watch this Friday's episode.

Just finished the last episode of the first season of Hell on Wheels.

I will surely watch the next season, not the best show ever made but still a typical AMC serie like Walking Dead and Mad Men. Something you want to follow.

Personally I really like Hell on Wheels. The era, the characters are very nice. Sometimes it's ridiculous and over the top or just plain cheesy but I still am very fond of Hell on Wheels. I have saved ep 10 but I can't wait any longer. Going to watch it now.

Without a doubt the best episode of this first season.

Indeed it was. Very curious to see what will happen in season 2. I bet that one guy with the tar and feathers will make his life goal to get our strangling friend.

I just started the first season of Pushing Daisies this week. I've loved Dead Like Me for a long time now, and recently enjoyed Wonderfalls, so I'm not surprised at how much fun another Bryan Fuller show is. All I can say is this show is more like a stage performance than a classical TV show. Quirky, exaggerated sets, rapidfire dialog and story pacing, an almost lyrical narration, a beautiful score, great characters and acting, all pulled together in a way that is amazingly consistent and fun to watch...

Oooooo I likey too. So much baddassery in that series. Too much for even an HBO show to contain.

The actor for Tyrion comes pretty close though...

I didn't like the way HBO dumbed down Tyrion in the battle scenes. He was actually pretty good with an axe, but in the series he was just comic relief. Otherwise he was decently portrayed as the smart "good" Lannister that he is.*

I just hope that they made the Battle of the Blackwater well. Dumbing down Tyrion in that battle would require stupidity of one kind.

AFAIK the reason we didn't see Tyrions extremely awesome battle scene where he impaled a horse with his spiked helmet were budget reasons. Massive battle scenes are quite expensive, especially for a TV production.
Looking forward to the 2nd season, anyway. Mainly because we'll see more of Daenerys boobs. :D

GoT/CoK spoilers...

It was definitely a budgetary reason not to do any of the big battles. The fighting with the clansmen wasnt as thorough for one. Also, the books didnt visually cover the ambush of Jaime by the Northern cavalry, but even that was simplified. Especially when it was the first season and they werent sure how well it would do. Maybe now theyll put some extra in for Danaery's storyline. I mean damn...dat scene with the Janissaries... :3

There were quite a few details they changed around a bit to save resources on production, or to make up for the lack of exposition that is lost moving from book to film. Overall though, they did a damn good job, and I doubt any other studio could have done it as well.

For anyone looking for a simple but good comedy out there I can recommend The New Girl

 10 or 11 episodes out right now.

After racing through 3 seasons of Castle I realised that Dexter was of course already over for this season.

So Dexter season 6: loved it. They (thankfully) turned down the tempo a bit as Dexter is now more in control of his life but the rest is the still the same. Gruesome, witty, original and with a wallop of a cliffhanger. Can't believe I have to wait a full year for this to continue.

I do miss Lumen though...  :-(
