Dexter "A Horse of a Different Color" S06E04
Not particularly interesting (despite the creator's desperate showboating of occult cruelty, bluntly equated to religion/faith, even for a man of reason, that's pretty cruel), but the final sequence of locusts being released is definitely one of the more cinematic moments of the show. And the random manner of Dexter picking up on Travis is the sort of writing I'd expect from them.Once again, they use the v-o to cover up. I don't particularly love the whole dichotomy they've approached with Mosdef's character vis-a-vis the doomsday killers.

Latest addition to my sitcom endeavors is "Melissa and Joey". From ABC Family. Not bad. Melissa Joan HART does pretty well. The lead 4 charcters are good.

Melissa & Joey is funny. There are two more - Home improvement & Big Bang Theory. Even they are good.

HI by Tim Allen is good. Haven't started to watch em. BBT is not bad either. Try watching "That 70s show". That is a cult.

Flashback is just about the worst device in storytelling. But then again, in this case, there's no other way of doing it.
I'm speaking of LOST.
Just got over Season 1. Now doing Season 2. Episode 5.

Charlie Sheen’s ‘Anger Management’ Series Sells To FX For Summer 2012 Premiere
Charlie Sheen’s new sitcom Anger Management has landed at FX with an initial order for 10 episodes for a summer 2012 launch. If successful, that will be followed by a 90-episode order by FX as well as broadcast syndication launch by distributor Debmar-Mercury in fall 2014. After a marathon of pitches to broadcast and cable networks earlier this month followed by a short window of intense negotiations, the direct-to-series project has found a home at the cable network that already carries reruns of Sheen’s previous series, Two And A Half Men, to great ratings success. The cable network also owns the TV rights to the 2003 Jack Nicholson-Adam Sandler movie Anger Management — about a mild-mannered man (Sandler) ordered to attend group anger-management sessions led by a volatile therapist (Nicholson) – on which the series is loosely based.

The very idea of Sheen as a therapist sounds wacky. FX, Aint a bad channel at all. Infact it's one of my favs. Virumaandi (charlie sheen) seekiram veliya va.

Interesting idea, Feddy. Will have to see how it works. Fx already got Louie & that's a wonderful show.
Was fortunate enough to find time for 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' as I'm doing LOST Season 3.
Think I should stop wasting my time on films. Not necessarily a genre comparison, but contrast this to 'Melancholia'. Suggestions of troubled childhood, failed relationship, turbulent family & depressed adult life, that they ultimately serve for acceptance to apocalyptic end. What nonsense. But OTOH, TV would help develop different characters, interplay & contrast the interactions & reactions, then define, dissect & delineate the apocalypse. Long story short, Von Trier needs more of "The Kingdom". IOW, Films seem like the crippled cousin.
