    Sepinwall likes The Americans. I'm watching tonight.

    FX is more of a must-have than AMC.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      No TV thread is complete without a post from Utestar. Where is Mr. Sexy these days?
      So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

        We watched the second episode last night. It was really good. That is an intense show. It's quickly rising up our list of favorites.
        If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

              Wasn't all that into The Taste either. A food version of The Voice?

                It was pretty good. From what I can gather, these TV critics usually get more than just the pilot when they do a review of the show, it's usually around 3 episodes. Judging by the previews of the upcoming episode or two it's going to get better.

                Potentially some spoilers here --

                The most interesting thing about it to me is that it's the woman that is more stridently pro-USSR even if it's potentially to the detriment of the kids. But it becomes apparent by the end of the episode that the woman has indeed ended up either becoming attached to or even in love with the man that she was paired up with to become a couple in a sleeper cell. Conversely the man is the softie, is becoming attracted to the American way of life, and he doesn't want to kill the former KGB colonel in the trunk. Once he finds out what the colonel did to his partner/fake wife in the past he then takes care of business.

                I think that the show has a lot of territory to cover in the form of flashbacks. It was apparent that Keri Russel's character wasn't ready to engage in the sexual side of things because of what had the KGB colonel had done. The man probably has been repeatedly tempted to defect but the love of his partner/wife makes him stay the course. Keri Russel's strict duty is to report her partner/husband's behavior and inclinations to her superiors but she doesn't do it because of her feelings.

                  I liked The Americans, I think it has promise. I'm not sure about Felicity in that role though. Not super impressed with her, but it's early.

                    I liked it. Looking forward to The Americans (have it on DVR). Most pleased Justified is back on.

                      Yeah, Justified is probably the best show on TV right now.

                          Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                          None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                          I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

                            Awesome show. If you are willing to go "find" it.

                            Warning, lots of gratuitous violence.

                              The Americans has been renewed for a second season. Great news. I think this is one of those shows that will gain viewers between the first and second seasons through DVD and online streaming, kind of like the Walking Dead without the monster ratings.

                                I'll catch "Person of Interest" occasionally and last night was pretty good. They introduced a female Reese and she brought some life to the show.
