The Briar Patch

I had such hope for Fear the Walking Dead. When it first came out I mistakenly thought it was going to show how the apocalypse started. The previews looked like it was going to show L.A and I hoped somehow it started all there. Well it didn't! We still have no idea how or why the zombies came. And to be honest the main show was getting a bit stale, so much hope rested on FTWD. (Negan did revitalize the main show for a bit but with that story over I also worry for the regular TWD) Fear flopped. That is a harsh judgement as they were only given 6 episodes to start. It is hard to write a decent season in six episodes but by the end of season 1 you know a few things Daniel is badass, Nick is the shows biggest hope and at this point Strand is mysterious and could be interesting. So came season two and I stayed watching. Season 2 starts again no hook. Alicia & Chris continue to be annoying, Strand shows he a rat and Daniel dies. They outsmart some pirates who originally outsmarted ...

So 2014 is over, I guess now is as good a time as any to put out there what I liked in T.V this year. First off it was sad to see Sons leave TV. From the first season, when I bought a reaper crew hat and was almost in a fight in a bar over my "gang" hat to Jax driving Johns bike into a semi it was a helluva show. I do think it changed in season 4. It does become much darker and violent but i do think that was Mr. Sutters vision. It is one of the only shows I can say never had a dull season. There was more than enough prison rape though... Also first show i hate Donal in.Hoping Kurt Sutter has as much luck with his next show.... Boardwalk Empire! How did it become the final season and how did I not know it was on until the finale!! Nucky was the guy I loved to hate. Cosmic justice Jimmys kid took him out. I did also like that most of it wrapped up nice and it did stick to reality. I thought it coulda went on more but either way it was great. True blood, about frickin time....
