e: in reference to Walking Dead winning awards: I don't know, I don't see any of the actors winning the big awards. I could be wrong but I just don't see it.

Dylan McDermott/Dermot Mulroney is an FBI agent who holds a surgeon's family hostage so she'll kill the President in surgery. There's a lot of really dumb poo poo packed into the first episode. I decided not to continue on past that. I would not be surprised if there's been about 2,000 plot twists in the episodes since then though. Seemed like it was the kind of show that really didn't care if anything made sense.

Surprisingly, there's only been one significant "twist," and it was about as predictable as the sunrise. Guess what? McDermott isn't the top of the conspiracy food chain. It's a bad show filled with dumb characters, but I can absolutely say I have seen and still watch worse shows.

There's a lot of really dumb characters in TWD, but I've been enjoying the show regardless. It's come a long way since Season 2: Farmville with Zombies.

I could definitely see somebody getting a major award on TWD. Not any of the current cast/characters, but if somebody new was introduced and became an integral part of the show then the potential for some great human drama is there. The show's just been hilariously inconsistent until this season and has had way too many characters that the writers had zero clue what to do with. Now that it's more toned down and appears more focused, I can definitely see someone coming in and stealing the show. I mean, I don't actually think it'll happen because I'm not quite that optimistic, but it wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world. The fact that it's ludicrously popular would help too. I mean, how many Emmys has Modern Family and BBT been nominated for?

TWD's best years are well behind it and it never should have nor ever will win a non-technical Emmy. Everyone please relax.

Two new AMC dramas in the pipe.quote:Not sure how to fill the Bryan-Cranston-bald-pate shaped hole in your heart now that Breaking Bad is no more? A source close to the situation just tipped me off that AMC is right on the brink of picking up two new dramas: Knifeman and Galyntine. This story is still breaking, and updates will continue to come as pickups are officially announced. Knifeman looks cool and I'd love to see how AMC does sci-fi. Also, I found the most 90's thing ever. It starts with like 10 orchestra hits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENZ3XbxCRZs zoux fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Nov 6, 2013 |

This happened last year too, it's basically because they have football and the Voice and whatever they put on after the Voice. Last time when the football season ended their position tanked and the same will happen this year.
