THE THEORIES

I'm not a religious fellow, but damn me if this is not divine justice:

Like my username states... I AM BORED!!!!  Let's talk something!  Anything! 

So,  like someone suggested I started watching The Killing on Netflix.  HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AND EVERYTHING THAT IS SACRED THIS SHOW IS WHAT PROCEDURAL DRAMA IS ALL ABOUT AND THE MALE/ FEMALE PARTNERSHIP IS COMPLETELY BELIEVABLE, COMPLEX AND ..... HAIR RIPPING FRUSTRATING!  It also stays in the background where it belongs. 

I'm about 3 episodes into season 4 and I can only imagine where and how the writers of The Mentalist got their jobs.  How is it that these cable shows are so spectacular that they are out-doing the BIG GUNS on major networks yet no one hears about them?  Their numbers hardly even exist on the Neilson ratings and I'm lucky if I can find a friend or a co-worker who has even heard of any of these shows. 

I'm trying to decide which I should do... (or do first)

1.  Get new friends
2.  Cut the cable
3.  Get off forums
4.  Stop comparing police dramas to The Mentalist
5.  Send my writers resume to The Mentalist along with everything I think is wrong with the show and sit by the phone.
6.  Go outside and enjoy the last few days of summer because I'm gonna be bitchin' about the cold in a few weeks.

So, what have you guys been doin' all week?  ;)

I just wanna say:
THIS SHOW COULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST TV SHOW EVER IF IT HAD BEEN EXECUTED THE RIGHT WAY. NOT ONLY THEY FUCKED THE REVELATION, BUT GETS WORSE WITH EVERY EPISODE.
THERE IS NO HOPE.

The highly-rated police procedural drama series by CBS, "The Mentalist," has been speculated to return to television somewhere in September or October as filming for the upcoming seventh season has already begun, according to reports.Show creator Bruno Heller revealed to The Hollywood Reporter some insights on what to expect in the forthcoming season, which will include a "satisfying conclusion."

"The pleasures of the show rests in the byplay between Robin [Tunney] and Simon [Baker]. Getting rid of Red John allowed us to focus on that human aspect of the show. Red John, as it turns out, was a convenience for Jane because it meant he didn't have to confront the rest of his life and what he's doing," he said.

With regards to the speculations whether fans could hear wedding bells for Simon Baker's Patrick Jane and Robin Tunney's Teresa Lisbon, the executive producer indicated that there will be resolution for those questions.

"After [Red John] goes, for both Lisbon and Jane, there is a palpable sense of 'What now? Do I really want to continue doing the same thing?' It left the two of them without an excuse to decide where that relationship was going. They had always been able to keep it separate. Those questions start bubbling up and the rest of the season was the resolution of those questions," Heller explained.

Meanwhile, Emily Swallow took to her social media to confirm the alleged news of her not returning to season 7.After appearing to 14 episodes in "The Mentalist," Swallow, who plays an FBI agent named Kim Fischer, will leave the team. The site also speculated that there's likely another female character to take Fischer's place in the story.Zap2It, on the other hand, indicated the return of Morena Baccarin as Erica Flynn, a matchmaker who murdered her husband. The character was last seen escaping from prison and later called Jane offering some information in exchange for pardon.

quick poll.....

if S7 turns out to be a a complete suckfest set out to satisfy the jisbon incestual bandwagon and we continue to be teased with very very subtle hints of a possible RJ revisit, and most of the episodes focus around the blantantly dull fischer; and the show gets to a point where simon baker can no longer keep a straight face on camera....which is getting damn close.


let's say that happens.  let's say we stick out 13 "murder of the week" episodes surrounded by this soap opera feel good love fest.  let's say we all want to stick molten hot needles through our eyeballs and eardrums to make this suckfest go away.........

but in the last screenshout of the final episode of the final season, we see lisbon laying gutted with that red smiley above her.....will all be forgiven and we praise the fact that RJ was not McAsshole and RJ did truly win in the end???? or will too much damage have been done for any possible salvation????

I know everyone here would appreciate a show that actually delivers the goods

So, wanted to share -- I came across a gem this summer called "The Killing"

It's on Netflix, all 4 seasons, and it does not "disappoint" in any way

If the people who made The Killing were put in charge of TM, we'd have an incredible ending to the RJ Saga, as well as a conclusion most of us could stomach for....[insert gag]..."Jibson"

The CBS drama won't return until 2015, but first episode will be titled "Orange Blossom Ice Cream."
Penned by executive producer Tom Szentgyorgyi ("Silver Wings of Time," "My Blue Heaven") and directed by executive producer Chris Long ("Blue Bird," "White as the Driven Snow"), the premiere will begin filming on July 30.

The plot of "Orange Blossom Ice Cream" is till under wraps, but it will most likely feature the introduction of Agent Vega (Josie Loren) and may involve a time jump from the end of season 6's "Blue Bird" (see video below).
Referred to as an "encore" season by series creator Bruno Heller, the 13-episode run will definitely cater to the fans.
"The purpose of an encore is to get people leaving the theater happy and giving them what they want and hitting your marks as strong as possible, so that will be the intention," Heller told The Hollywood Reporter.
