Much better than I would have expected from network TV. I'm hooked.

Agree. Like

Yup. Nice to see Spader back on the idiot box. Was a fan of Boston Legal (Denny Crane!) back in its day.

I'm watching this as well and definitely hooked for now. For some reason it reminds me a lot of Fringe which got old after a few seasons.

Anytime he plays an evilish character I'm hooked.

There appears to be some talent playing the less-than moral individual. Hmmmm....

I meant to write something about this a few weeks ago. Always have been a Spader fan and if it wasn't for him I'd be out but yes for regular network tv this is working. Other than SNL this is the only network show I watch. The wife however likes Modern Family, and the show Parenthood which I wish a Kenyan Mall style massacre would happen on and kill every fucking one of the cast including the kids.

SNL, but no Person of Interest? Almost no one gets thrown through a window on SNL.

SNL has not been funny for me other than a blip here or there since the late 90s. No mater how much I'd like to grudge fuck Tina Fey and Amy Poller.

I like Revolution, especially the way they flipped the script.

I will check out the Black List. Also might check Sleepy Hollow.

Other than that, fuck network TV.

Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, Justified and The Americans, Btches

Ther rest is all from the land of bad teeth, where they talk funny.

Sometimes you are such a snob

Spader's finest work, The Secretary.

I tried watching Person of Interest in its first season but after three episodes I realized that it's Touched By An Angel with an ex-Black Ops guy as the angel, and a supercomputer as God.

I threw in the towel after that.

I see it more as plain-clothes Batman with guns. But I never watched Touched by an Angel.

This was good out of the gate but is wearing thin fast.

I may agree. The last episode had some particularly awful acting. Megan Boone crying was terrible.

This is what they should do when they do another Batman trilogy, bring him back to the original comics in so far as he used a gun and killed on occasion. The novelisation of the Burton movie has him dropping assholes off of buildings to their death, just to make them afraid of "The Bat creature".

The whole "Batman does not kill I know has been a big part of the mythology since 39/40 but it's played out. He causes more death and pain by letting guys like the Joker and Two-Face live, so they can escape and kill again and again.

They need to make it where he does not do it lightly, punishment fitting the crime kind of code, so most will get a Battastic asskicking, some will get crippled and some of the very worst will be dropped off of buildings and shot in the face.

I loved Miller's Dark Knight Returns. The M-60 to the face of the guy holding a gun on a child was awesome! Almost as cool as him stomping Superman in the face with spiked boots!

He needs a sword and some Escrima sticks too. ;-)

This is why the Punisher rules. He does not fight too many of the same folks twice if he can do anything about it.

Did you really just admit to watching Touched By An Angel?

And this show is getting old for me, too. I've noticed that I can watch a show and not get pissed off for about a month. If it lasts longer, it's probably on HBO, Showtime or Skinemax.

I'm not admitting to anything.

But I agree, this week's episode and the subplot were kind of weak.

Right? And getting from D.C to Port of Houston in <4 hours, finding the needle in the haystack and driving it into the drink with just :02 left ? If you're going to do that kind of shit, there should be somebody standing by in tights and a cape.

One grandfather died in a barroom brawl in Yellowknife. The other went out for cigarettes and never came back.

Also, he was denied enlistment because of fallen arches.
