Shows Reviews:
Have been a huge fan of this series -- see prior reviews which make the case plainly -- but I have problems with this episode.
On the one hand, you could simply dismiss the issues here as what I have called in prior reviews "P2K4" tactics, ie, the writing team needed to have all the players on the board in certain places at a specific time in order to deliver the coming "payoff" or "twist" -- and if that means sacrificing an episode (ie delivering an episode that is somewhat unsatisfying to watch, or less satisfying than we are used to) then OK, that's the price of the game.
But I want to go a bit deeper, with the reader's kind permission.
As we move into Season 3, we note again that the charm, the elegance of this show involves an alleged "bad guy" wonderfully played by Spader who seems to be the only one on the planet that can capture other bad guys, especially those that leave the traditional justice system powerless.
It is a clever premise and it works a treat. Essentially each name on the Blacklist (remember, they are still bracketing each episode with a Blacklist number, in spite of the Lizzie/Cabal arc) is a sort of Hannibal Lector, and, evil as they may be (and they are) Spader always saves the day.
I dubbed this review "atonal." Which means music lacking the core values of music. The problem here is with a story that sets Spader against true terrorists. Historians of the future, looking back at our era, will no doubt observe the plain truth that "terror changes everything." It displaces gravity. It evaporates the rule book. Each prior Blacklister, evil as they were, did not show any predilection to die for their cause. This episode in the view of this critic mixes oil and water. Reddington is going against people who lack core values and are prepared to kill or die simply to make a point.
Which is what I am doing in this review. Making a point.
I could have dismissed the weakness in this script as simply a sacrificial episode to reach a certain point in the greater arc.But there is more to it than that.

Shows Reviews:
Well, we all have our opinions and are film critics in our own right! I couldn't believe the bad reviews. I rarely see a drama show that I enjoy each frame as I did Quantico. Usually, it's on Cable networks and not broadcast networks (Boss, Magic City, Ray Donovan, Nurse Jackie, Justified, Suits, breaking Bad)or Netflix (House of Cards). I found this storytelling compelling. It held my interest when it's so easy to turn-off and watch something else. There are loads of new programming to preview or news seasons to enjoy, so enduring a dud isn't an option. The acting and writing was good, maybe, because I know how incompetent so-called pros can be. I love the way the stories are told and the characters are fleshed out. The Chopra actress is beyond gorgeous, a new star on the horizon with a cool, relaxed acting style and chops. I don't expect for television shows not to be over-the-top, they must grab viewers quickly or get kicked to the curb by networks if they don't deliver good ratings. Networks don't give shows time to find their space or develop characters, so there will be imperfections. I hope people keep on watching!!!

Recently
"Nasty" Nigel and Simon Cowell were in court because the former
(nothing to do with this show) was claiming damages off the latter for
stealing the idea from Pop Idol etc to make this show. Of course to the
majority of us this just seemed like an easy claim because, aside from
legal technicalities over whether or not you can copyright a concept,
the X Factor is clearly just Pop Idol etc in slightly different clothes
(but not even that different). The court case was settled behind closed
doors and everything went on as normal but we the viewers were still
left with a show that continues to flog a formula that seems like it
will never die.
The X Factor is supposedly different from Pop Stars/Idol because it is about the people as well as the music; you know – that x factor that makes stars stars. Well, at least on paper that is what it is about but taking a look at it, it looks awfully like Pop Idol crossed with Popstars (groups and solo artists), with different judges, a new presenter and a slightly different approach (we see a lot more of the training as each artist is taken under the wing of one of the judges). It has nothing really original in it and, although the artists are supposedly got individuality (x factor) they still belt out cover versions; in fact series 1 winner Brookstein (praised by Cowell for his individual sound) was very quickly dropped from the 6 album deal he won because he refused to do an album of cover versions. Anyway, so much for that idea, so for the most part this is just another clone of the same formula. The music is nice, big, professional karaoke of hits that everyone can sing along at home to but it is all very dull and depressing if you are looking for more.
The training camp may allow those of us that were adolescent boys in the 1980's a chance to rekindle our lust for Sinitta but mainly the way that the groups are split up across the judges is less about training and more about allowing conflict between them. The producers have realised that it is the judges that get the headlines and inject the character into these shows so here we have it pushed and endlessly stage-managed. They do this to extremes, this year having Osbourne throw water on Walsh, with the latter saying he has quit the show, only to return after a week of free headlines in the tabloids, stirring up the viewers and upping ratings (something they can't do with the bland acts themselves). Presenter Kate Thornton can't help us because she is just as caught up in the whole thing and comes across as there is nothing more important happening in the world than the results of the public vote – and maybe for her there isn't. Even after the vote though, the judges still get their say (which made me doubt their independence since both "losers" will belong to at least one of them), cue more pantomime booing, hissing and jeering in line with the whole idea of manufactured drama.
Overall this is a popular show because the formula works for a lot of people. I won't demean them on this decision but I will say that it doesn't work for me. The judges stir it up the best they can and try to get headlines for the show and conceal how bland the artists themselves are but really this is just what it has always been – a big, obvious karaoke show that gives the masses something easy and hollow to watch on a Saturday night. Hopefully it will all come to an end soon but I suspect we'll continue to get the same formula with minor twists for as long as the viewers will watch it. My only hope is that one of those twists will be the inclusion of live, hungry bears, freely roaming the backstage area.

Shows Reviews:
While watching the pilot episode of The Walking Dead the only word that went through my mind was "awesome!".We finally have a TV Show that's associated with the beloved Zombie franchise and what it does it does right.
The story takes place in the present day, a Sheriff's deputy, Rick Grimes gets caught in an accident and ends up in hospital, after blanking out and waking up from a coma he finds himself in an abandoned ward with flickering lights, broken down hallways and barricaded doors. As he makes his way through the dark hospital he finds out that he is the only one that's not in a body bag.
The pilot introduces us to several main characters that actually make you want to learn more about them, with brilliant directing by Frank Darabont you will come across both dramatic and emotional scenes that seem appropriate for the time, this gives the show allot of realism and just works out great.
However this doesn't have CGI effects yet and should be kept that way, the make-up on the zombies are fantastic.
watching this will give you allot of nostalgia and the direction makes of this show feel like a classic old school zombie movie from the 80's to 90's that's actually serious this time, having a well respected cast and great acting makes this show very promising and I will be hoping for allot more future episodes... allot more. But for now I'm still waiting for the rest of the first season.
If you like zombies or even a good drama that has allot of suspense then I highly recommend this show, I have never felt this way about a show since LOST, so you know it's that good.
