Maybe her accent is supposed to shift all over the place? There seemed something wrong, something too stiff and arch "modern" about her accent, her performance, even the set. (what I could see of it). I found myself thinking, you know, this might work a lot better set in Southern California circa the late 1970's/early 1980's or somesuch.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-44205900901467946182009-03-12T20:55:00.000-04:002009-03-12T20:55:00.000-04:00Yeah, I concede I might be crazy re: FNL, but I'm ...Yeah, I concede I might be crazy re: FNL, but I'm sticking to it. Everyone I know loves the first season. I watched the first two episodes and decided that it wasn't for me. It wasn't like Heroes, where I flat out hated it and took pleasure in my loathing. But I gave it a second shot, but remain at quite the distance from the show. It's not deplorable, but I would describe my reaction as grudging disapproval: I would much prefer to like it, to take from it what everyone else seems to take, but I simply don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-5691506519937804612009-03-12T12:23:00.000-04:002009-03-12T12:23:00.000-04:00If FNL comes back for two more seasons, I will go ...If FNL comes back for two more seasons, I will go f'ing crazy.

While a selfish part of me wishes the show had ended after its perfect first season, I am delighted to hear that a two-season pickup is a possibility.

That said--I don't have DirecTV and am watching it on NBC now, so maybe the remaining episodes will surprise me--going by the ones I've seen thus far, I think this season should be the show's last. Two major characters (Smash and Street) are already gone and it's obvious that Riggins and Tyra are college-bound. So that leaves us with Matt and the Taylors, which I don't think is enough for the show. And I can't say I'm anxious to see new characters. <BR/><BR/>Also, I hope Kitsch doesn't think he's getting the roles that he is because of the fantastic acting talent he's demonstrated thus far. That isn't to say there's no depth to him, but it couldn't hurt him to know why he has any career.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-6642649220853061522009-03-11T14:15:00.000-04:002009-03-11T14:15:00.000-04:00You are so amazingly right about Connie Britton, t...You are so amazingly right about Connie Britton, the women of BSG and the Emmys!
