OK, OK, enough with the photography/camera posts for a minute. š
Some shows I particularly enjoy are coming back soon, so I thought Iād give them a shout.
Justified is back tonight on FX. The first season was fun, but far too cartoony. The second, however, was really good. It had better pacing, a wider cast of characters, and just a little more believability (I mean, Raylon canāt shoot people that often, can he?). But just a little; it still had plenty of action. Hereās hoping that season 3 is as good.
Another guilty pleasure, Cougar Town comes back on Valentineās Day (evening, really). I really didnāt expect to like this show, given the original pitch, but it quickly turned into a comedy that Val and I enjoy watching. Iām glad it survived and that itās back. I hope it keeps going and maybe finds a little more popularity.
Last, and certainly not least, the season 5 premiere of Mad Men will air on March 25th. I donāt need to say much here, I donāt think. Iāll be watching.
Tangentially related, I finally caught up on Doctor Who last night. Iāve still got the last episode rumbling around in my head, but I think Iām a little disappointed. I think the ābig questionā could be a fun thread to explore, but I felt a little cheated by āThe Silenceā and the resolution to the Doctorās death. Iām not sure what I was expecting, but I think the resolution wasnāt clever enough, given the tremendous way the season started. That was quite a set-up to squander. That said, I think Matt Smith has really hit his stride with the character and made it his own. I wouldnāt mind seeing his split with Amy and Rory become permanent, though; it feels as if thereās not a lot new to mine there, and this is a natural breaking point.
