[NBC] Kings - It's better than a goddamn blow job

[Candiarie]

I watched it and it was pretty meh. Did not make me want to watch the next episode any time soon.

[Adere]

Maybe they just throw the rest of them online at hulu or something.

[Astrocreep]

i was watching bridezillas last night and was skipping back at commercial breaks. saw some fighting scenes and then some weird looking shootout at the end with the prince. wtf?

[brekk]

It was on okay episode. Must have been a huge budget, not often you see full on military fire fights in normal shows.

[Tramddark Luxdeorum]

The flashback scenes in the latest episode were certainly pretty trippy.

Not to mention the connection they made in the final minutes.

I enjoyed it.

[brekk]

I dunno how this show pulls off being so based on faith without annoying the everliving shit out of me.

Pretty "scary" episode for a prime time drama.

After the horror of last week's episode... Kings had to go and do this...





AAAND TOTALLY REDEEM ITSELF!

This was a good episode.

On another note, Ian McShane signed on to be in the miniseries based on the book The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (pretty good book if you like historical fiction). Hopefully someone in the US will pick it up.

I thought the latest episode (8) of this up on Hulu was pretty bad ass.

[Candiarie]

I really liked this show before it went on break, now it's really all over the place. It's been like three episodes since the Gath were last spoken of? All that bullshit with Death being a huge fan of jap horror wasn't really cool either. Who was it that Silas shot in that episode? When they're in the house during the blackout right after he finds his guard dead.

Well the episode after the break had David and the prince out on a mission helping Gath with rebels, which led to them finding out about the weapons and then the general, and then the king killing him to wrap up that part of the story. They already dealt with the handing over of port prosperity, so not much else to tell about Gath for now.

I honestly thought it was Thomasina he shot when it happened, but she showed up in the following scenes. Since they haven't made a big deal of it, not even a mention of cover up for him shooting the wrong person. So I would assume it was the assassin that he killed. David is in real shit after this last episode.

Why on earth did David not come clean at the end before the King found out anyway? The camera pics plotline was bad enough for obvious consequences coming but that one was just as bad! I might have bought that he didn't trust him because Silas showed how dupliticious he could be by having his "real family." What stops me believing that though is that David seemed into it hook line and sinker from his admiring looks and asking him why he didn't settle down with them and leave his royal baggage behind.

It just seemed something put in for the sake of a payoff later like the camera pics and an example of how much this series has gone downhill since it first started

One more episode or is it three more?

[Wombat]

There's actually four hours left.

And I'm not sure David wouldn't have been killed if he confessed his princess-nailing to the king. Sure, David was on the king's good side at the time, but the king was also assuming David could do no wrong.

As far as the soap-opera introduction of the camera-arc: Yes, it was rather clumsily introduced. But at the same time, I'm not seeing a good way you could juggle the various storylines to get any padding between now and the blackout. Judging from episode summaries, David now gets sent on a should-be-suicide mission, so there was no way to pad the number of episodes between the camera's introduction and payoff.

[Candiarie]

The other thing about the camera is when did the blonde ho get any real power? I thought Silas removed all of her authority a few episodes ago and gave it to his son. But now she can override the queen and not find herself killed?

Remember a couple episodes back when Michelle found out that Jack was really running the Ministry? Silas didn't tell anyone about Gent being a figurehead. Sometimes the appearance of power *is* power.
