There are more shows on TV than just SoA and Justified. Also Justified started in 2010 so maybe Im just not sure what joke youre trying to make.

Found a mention of it.

quote:

You may have heard Guillermo del Toro's upcoming science fiction epic Pacific Rim features robots versus giant monsters in a battle to save humanity, but there's a fun fact you may not be aware of. One of the robot's AI programs has a very familiar voice, as del Toro has persuaded Valve to lend him GlaDOS for just a short while.

The reveal came during a New York Comic Con interview. "I'm a big fan of Valve," del Toro said, adding "Portal and Left 4 Dead have been instrumental family experiences at my house." When Del Toro made the call to Gabe Newell, del Toro used his daughter's influence to seal the deal. "Like a complete geek," according to Del Toro, she - he didn't specify which of his two children it was - let her love for Valve shine through, and helped clinch it. "My family was instrumental," del Toro beamed.

I rarely go into the field, motherfucker.
Just got around to watching the finale, what is the deal with Sons and having lovely covers of good songs? it's like somewhere at a meeting someone said "dudes, wouldn't it be totally rad to have new updated versions of all these classic tracks on our show? they're already good, so therefor a cover by a new band would be better!" I guess bands are running out of ideas just like movie makers.

Good parts about this episode:
Tig didn't die, more him wanting transvestite penis shenanigans will ensue. plus he got a dog which was pretty :3:

Tara trying to assert her dominance on Gemma and getting one punched was pretty hilarious, hate her and her stupid power trip.

Bobby leaving, seriously I would too, gently caress Jax

FX doesn't have the budget to license the originals. Except for that one episode of the Shield with the Smashing Pumpkins song. They shot their wad with that one.

Usually it's cheaper to get the cover bands music for your show, I think. It's why you can hear covers of stuff like Beatles songs but rarely hear the original in movies (because it's expensive as gently caress)

This was mentioned on a podcast I listen but it really struck true with me. When was the last time we saw, for example, Bobby and Tig talking to one another, and if they were talking to one another, about something other than the main Jax vs Clay thing? This could really be any combination of characters. Chibs and Tara. Tig and Gemma. Bobby and Juice etc etc.

What bothers me most about Wendy is that she got all heroin'd up and is fine a day later. Like I would expect an addict to you know be an addict and not just be the consequence of a plot moving device.
The problem is that even when she's clean, Drea de Matteo has kind of a trashy look about her. But watch it again, she looked like poo poo. Not "been strung out for three months" poo poo, but just "had a real, real bad night" kind of poo poo.

So apparently when a guy's robot dies, he dies? That's a pretty serious design flaw, I'd say.

This is just another example that shows just how far it drifted from the early seasons. You don't care about any of them, nor do they matter whatsoever. Not even Opie's death matters, apart to give some misguided sense of vigilance where we apparantly have to cheer on a guard being beaten to death with a snowglobe.

In a way, the only thing this serie does, is torture porn disguised in a horrible mask of vigilante. How anyone can cheer on anything that's happened the last two seasons is beyond me though. I can't even justify popcorn fantasy anymore. It's just vile.

The lack of character development, or even some loving interaction, adds to that feeling. They are all pawns to be abused for the next big shocker, instead of actual characters that push the show forward. Just loving off them all and be done with it.

I think this season has actually pushed me away from the show period, despite the investment, morbid curiosity and the fun of reading this topic.

Oh yes that glorious melt down, in which he would badmouth every thing Justified did and then he was proved wrong. The best was when Sutter talked about Timothy Olyphant and how he was ruining the show and then it was counter how he come up with some of the more memorable moments.
