Fall 2012 new TV shows

Yawn

The one new show that I really like (have only seen two new shows so far) is Major Crimes, they've really broken out of the old show and come up with fresh and very interesting story lines. Emily Owens M.D. looks really good (from the trailer) but doesn't air until Oct. 16.

The only shows that look remotely interesting IMHO, are Revolution (maybe, needs more than one episode to judge), Vegas (Mike Chiklis/Dennis Quaid).

Of the rest...Arrow (doesn't air until Oct.), 666 Park Avenue (maybe, interesting premise), Elementary (UK Sherlock ripoff), Last Resort (?), The Mindy Project. Yawn

I want to say five? He's still writing them. Plus if you read the Nantucket series - which he wrote first but I found after I began the Emberverse - that makes seven or so (I think there are two or maybe three Nantucket books). I wait for them to come out in paperback before I start shopping for Kindle versions so I could be a full book behind.

Stirling has some great alternate histories. If you like that kind of stuff, there are other authors who write the same style. There's a series where the Napoleonic Wars had dragons. woot Stuff like that. And yeah, I probably did recommend Stirling in another thread - he's one of my favorite authors. In fact, his books are why I want to learn to blacksmith - when shit hits the fan skills like shoeing horses or pounding railroad spikes into knives will be in high demand, and I'm not depending on those SCA and RenFaire nerds to save my happy ass!
One of these days I am going to make a brake-drum forge just because I have pretty much everything I need laying around here to make it. There are all kinds of videos on Youtube about making them and using them.

There are blacksmiths' guilds everywhere too - there's one right in Arlington! I'm trying to shake loose from work early one Friday to go to a forge meeting.

www.reddit.com/r/blacksmith has lots of instructional threads + people taking pictures of knives they made out of old railroad spikes, which are a popular medium apparently.

Watched the pilot of Last Resort, it was interesting but I just don't see how this is going to work as a tv series. A movie yes but where are they going to go from here and how will the story line make an entire season? Dontknow But the pilot was interesting so we'll give it another couple of episodes.

Tried to watch The Mindy Project but had to turn it off about ten minutes in.

Saw Last Resort as well. It's interesting, well acted, has a lot of potential and a lot of different directions it can go. That last part could also be its demise. Being scattered all over the place with subplots can hurt a show but there are plenty of back stories to tell, plenty of espionage to be had, plenty of treachery to come, plenty of double and triple crossing to occur. I can also see a lot of politics and "messages" spun also. What's the end game? I have no idea but then again no one did when Lost came on either but people watched it anyways.

laugh out loud Well the UK show Sherlock has spoiled me, it's just miles better than this American knock off. However, if I had never seen Sherlock, I would have been mildly entertained but having said that, I don't think the actor in the US version was a good choice, he just doesn't have the acting chops to pull off the character. Yet we'll watch another one, that's more of a commentary on how few new shows are interesting than on the quality of Elementary.
