Стачката свърши прекалено късно май - това е тежката истина. Хаус беше лекинко "wrapped up" и на него следващата му серия ще се води от пети сезон.
До есента аз очаквам да гледаме следните неща - Батълстар, Призън Брейк (лайк ени ъф ъс гив а фък...), ЛОСТ (!!!) и стискам палци да продължата CSI-овете...А и по някое време трябва да тръгне 24 сезон 7. Който бтв НАЙ-ПОСЛЕ не се развива в Ел Ей.
Междувременно аз съм зациклил нечовешки на CSI: NY, в момента гледам епизод, в който предполагаемият извършител е Майкъл Кларк Дънкан:). Имаше няколко особено бойни епизод във втората половина на 1ви сезон...

За мен най-лошото в България е чудесното наслаждение, което тук имат хората да се преследват един друг и да развалят един другиму работата.”

Валери щедро ме снабди с трите сезона на 4400 и първия на Декстър, за което му благодаря за енти път.
Почнах 4400. Засега гледах само първия епизод, но вече съм зарибен.
Подразбрах, че по-нататък падало нивото, ще видя доколко. Ян ме предупреди, че сериалът е прекъснат след третия сезон и няма изгледи да се снима 4-и. Кофти.

Хм, след 4-тия го спряха, не след 3-тия (или аз нещо правилно не си спомням). Първото сезонче - 6 епизода е супер. Вторият също е на добро ниво, оттам-нататък започва да пада доста по мое мнение, 4-тият и последен сезон беше много слаб и свърши на никъде... и да, май няма да го продължават.

Сниман е. Излъчен е. Пълен боклук е. Свършва отворено.
Правилата на бордгейминга:
1. Всички други неща, включително храна, дрехи, застраховка за колата и пари за обяд, представляват непредвидени разходи по отношение на това, което ви е необходимо за игрите.
2. Никога не пресмятайте общата стойност на това, което сте купили.
3. Ако искате нещо, значи ви е нужно.
4. Ако ви е нужно, значи трябва да го купите.

Каквото каза Ян, да.
Но си струва да изгледаш първите два сезона ^^. Първият (само 6 епизода) е много кефещ.
Бтв, не помня дали беше гледал Хироус или Супернейчъръл, но и двата дотук са по-добри от 4400 и препоръчвам.

Малко дълго, но ми се струва интересно, а и касае сериалите изобщо. Това е ревю в Амазона за третия сезон на 4400 - четиризвездно, за моя лека изненада, предвид текста по-долу.
Why TV Shows Are Rarely As Good As Their First Season, May 11, 2007
By Lois Pierson - See all my reviews
1. Money
TV shows, in an effort to capture viewers, pour heaps of money into production initially. Once the viewer base has been established, the drawstrings get tightened. A good example of this is soundtracks. Pilot episodes generally have huge budgets to purchase songs, but as the series progresses, the music will invariably switch from being purchased to being composed. There are a few good composers out there, but, generally speaking, purchased music will always be better/more timely.
Special effects/CGI - same thing. CGI is super expensive. Invariably a show starts off with a load of CGI and episode by episode, the CGI decreases. A good example of this is Battlestar Galactica. Have you noticed the diminishing frequency of robot cylon shots as the series progresses? Those robot cylons are CGI and cost a pretty penny. For a science fiction show, CGI is crucial as it allows the writers greater creative freedom. If the CGI budget is thin, it can restrict plot points and, in turn, lower the quality of the show.
Actors are a huge budgetary concern as well. They generally start off being paid very little. If the show does well, they start asking for more money. If they ask for too much, their characters tend to either get killed off or go on hiatus. Another problem with actors from successful shows is that they get other work. This other work can create scheduling problems.
One of the biggest obstacles to consistently great television is syndication. The bread and butter of syndicated television are episodes that can stand alone. No meta arcs/no continuing storylines. Even on shows with stories that span seasons, there is a huge push from the studio to produce the much more syndicatable single arc episodes. A single arc episode doesn't allow for larger, grander themes. There's really only so much you can do in 44 minutes. By compartmentalizing a show into smaller, more marketable units, meta arcs suffer and the quality invariably drops. The one mitigating factor in the syndication equation is DVD sales. The potential proceeds from DVD sales is beginning to challenge the profits from syndication. Where syndication is sold in single episodes, DVDs are all about the boxed set. This is an encouraging direction, but we have a long way to go before syndication loosens it grasp.
2. The writing process
A very important aspect to television production is the way in which episodes are written. It's not like some huge novel where a writer locks themselves in remote cabin, takes months to write and emerges with a beginning to end epic. The pilot may be mulled over by the creator for quite some time and worked/reworked ad infinitum, but once the show gets picked up, it's usually a group of writers, sitting in a room, crafting an episode at a time. This makes the writing timely, but it doesn't do much for the bigger picture/larger story. Hopefully someone, somewhere (usually the creator and/or executive producer) has a road map for each season and/or the entire series, but this doesn't always happen. Even when it does occur, this road map may not be all that fleshed out. Or unforeseen obstacles occur such as an actor asking for too much money or a scheduling conflict. Even if the creator of a show wanted to write the whole thing from beginning to end, he/she would be severely limited by the fact that they would have no idea of knowing how many seasons they'd have to work with. Needless to say, it's not the type of writing atmosphere that produces grand ideas/great stories. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, writers toss around a lot of crappy ideas until the deadline approaches and then, under the gun, pick the least crappiest idea for the episode. Sad, but true. Look at where Lost has ended up- that's an excellent example of a room full of writers winging it- and not that well, I might add.
There are a handful of shows that have managed to exceed these limitations, but the list is minuscule. 24 is a good example of a show that pulled it together in later seasons. Most of the Star Trek productions seem to take a few seasons to reach their stride (they did have a continuing influx of money, though). For the most part, though, episodic television is a downward slope. 4400 is no exception. It started with a bang, was spectacular the first season, great the second, but now, it's only good. Will it improve? I'm not holding my breath.
