Disappointing turnout for Boardwalk Empire's best season so far. :(

Fargo, True Detective, and American Horror Story picked up awards too.
Game of Thrones got 19 nominations but only won two things - fuck and all.



I'm pretty sad Peter Dinkalage didn't win anything. He was by far acting his arse off and did amazingly well as Tyrion this past season

Breaking Bad all day erry day.

Would have quite liked Matty Mc to have picked up an award though. He's a King in True Detective.

It's about ten minutes too long (75mins running time) but it's everything you'd expect SOA to be.
Not disappointing.

Boardwalk Empire has started again.

10/10

I hope every episode this season is as good as that one was, they've only got 7 more to wrap it up, so I hope they make each episode count.

It feels sort of like I've missed a few season by the massive timeskip this season, but I'm sure a lot of it will be addressed, like:
Chalky White being in prison
Arnold Rothstein being dead
Luciano now having an empire of his own

End of spoilers

Oh god i've seen a few episodes of Sons Of Anarchy and that Jax guy is annoying as fuck! Watching him bowl it around when he's a skinny little whelp is just cringe-worthy :/ Whoever done the casting is an idiot. Really don't see why people rave about Sons Of Anarchy it just looks repetitive and poorly acted!

Once you get to season 2 you'll see why everyone raves about it.

So I finally got back to watching The Walking Dead (I stopped during those boring as fuck farm episodes) and it got very good. Onto Season 4 episode 2 as I type this.

Does anyone else think the Governor should have been played by Liam Neeson? I'm not sure why, but every time I see him it makes me think of Neeson.

Glad Rick's son is less annoying now as well, he's alright. I don't really have a problem with any of the characters anymore, which is nice. They all bugged the shit out of me in the beginning (except Daryl)

Doctor Who was all about nout tonight, and they should cut out all that personal relationships crap; the assistants are traditionally whisked away from their home through space and time, they don't keep going back for dates with Eastenders type characters.

Thought it was the best one so far, myself. After a poor start, they've been slowly improving each week.

Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell to be in the next season of True Detective. Time to see if Vince can act, I guess.
