I hope this is good, especially with The Killing and Game of Thrones done Sunday. I just worry about TNT putting out a solid non-cheesy show. Then again, it's about the only thing going to be on TV for me till Breaking Bad starts in a month, and Weeds.

I've been slowly getting more and more excited for this show, but I'm keeping my expectations low (I've been burned too many times by sci-fi shows that either suck or that I get invested in only to have them cancled).

I read this article earlier that got me pretty pumped for the show http://io9.com/5812883/why-falling-skies-breaks-the-mold-of-alien-invasion-shows

Well, in regards to cancellation, at least it's on cable, where expected ratings aren't close to as high as network TV. At least on cable you usually get at least a full season.

That is true, TNT gave Dark Blue two seasons. It's hard the get cancelled on TNT after one season.

yeah it was done pretty well, there are a bit too many stereotypes in character and situations but the writing was really good and they managed to generate some scary moments.

Yeah the scene where his son (the scout) was in the river bank and then all the "mechs" start marching toward him was a pretty awesome.

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.

      Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

      Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
