Why 'Mad Men' Is Even More Addicting in Its Third Season - http://nymag.com/arts...
T. Brent, technopeasant, cecily, The Bohemian Penguin and 2 other people liked this
"Like the best pay-cable shows, Mad Men is a showcase for its sparkling ensemble, which means that some of the best scenes happen during meetings and at parties. But by now, we all have our favorites (more Sal, more Joan, more Peggy!), and for this viewer, the isolated Betty Draper made for a maddening third-season emphasis, less mysterious than simply blank. Huge things happened to her...but whether it was Weiner’s instructions or something stuck within Jones’s performance, Betty stayed dead at the roots, a petulant Hitchcock Barbie even at her most exposed."

I'm behind an episode. I'll try and watch it before Sunday's finale.
- Derrick
i couldnt get into it, sadly. beautifully shot, decently acted but it wasnt that interesting to me. i've spent years watching sci fi, fantasy and this and that. i've even loved shows like deadwood and rome. maybe mad men is too close to modern life? i dunno..
- Terry O'Fee
Mad Man is a weird show. I enjoy it, but don't always understand it. It's like a crazy, off-kilter parallel world. Very heavy on metaphor and akin to literature in some ways. It makes you think, that's for sure.

It's the 60's. Been there. No need to live through them again.

Weiner has said that he feels he's been "training" his audience. Very small details, on the face of it, take on large, metaphorical meaning when "de-coded". I've watched an episode and gotten nothing from it... then it brews for a while, and I get a stream of insights and "ahh!" clicks and such. I think it's a deft, almost subterranean show.

GateWorld reviews Stargate Universe: ‘Water’ - http://www.gateworld.net/news...
“Water” hopefully gave Stargate fans what they wanted this week: SGU’s first stand-alone episode.

I'm still pretty 'meh' about SGU. I find all of the characters unsympathetic and so far the story lines have been boring or predictable. The last episode "Water" was a step in the right direction but was absolutely forgettable. I'm hoping things get more interesting.

I haven't watched this weeks episode (which kind of tells you I'm not blown away so far). It almost feels like it's trying too hard to be BSG and Stargate shouldn't be BSG.

Dear Hulu: The way this video is presented in "browse by date / recent", I expected to get Obama's comments on fort hood. Instead, I find myself watching a Fox News talking head. This is UNACCEPTABLE. This amounts to Fox News trying to shed its name to gain viewers. However, they can't even deliver the goods. I stopped watching well before Obama's...
comments. The "waiting for the live press conference" excuse doesn't wash, either. This is edited content, not a live feed. If you are granting Fox News an "exclusive" on your "presidential press conferences" channel/show title, please tell me why. This is one of the few times I tried to get this sort of thing from Hulu... what a disappointment, to get a talking head from Fox when I wanted the President's comments on the tragedy. Please fix this ASAP. I would not expect to get CNN or MSNBC talking heads either, in this situation. You could mention the network in a corner for the "hover" description. And you could prevent networks from pushing themselves onto viewers without disclosure. http://www.hulu.com/watch...

Poll: Did you like the new show V? - http://www.engadgethd.com/2009...
Robybot, Amber, Random Time Lord, ◦RΞzα◦ and 6 other people liked this
"The ratings are in and ABC's V was the highest rated series premier this season with a rating of 5.0, a 13 share which equals 13.9 million viewers. Of course this doesn't mean that many actually liked it and since we were pretty split here at Engadget HD, we wanted to know what you thought of this new Si-Fi show."

I did, but it how more potential than what it delivers so far.
- RAPatton
Yes.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
People are drawing comparisons to FlashForward for some reason (1 hr. drama? same network? cinematic?) but I think V > FlashForward. FF started out good, but I've lost interest.
- Derrick
no
- VAL D.
I've jettisoned Flash Forward too
- RAPatton
V = fail.
- Chris Greene
wasn't wild about it but watched the opener anyways. probably won't watch it again though
- Scratch5150
still trying to figure FF RAP
- VAL D.
I don't see the comparisons at all between V and Flash Forward. There are more similarities between LOST and Flash then V and LOST. But in both cases Flash Forward is the very clear loser; I've stopped watching it, and it takes a special kind of suck to make me stop watching Sci Fi.
- veo
Better than FlashForward? I have given up on FF due to the inane dialogue
- Dave Hodson
The only comparison I see with LOST and V is they both star the same actress. I tried giving FF a chance, but it's not that great. I LOVE "V" though. :)
