White Flat Screen Riser

Hangin 'in the Treme

If you recently talked about the realism and timelessness about Nurse Jackie, this idea reaches its fullest expression in the most recent masterpiece HBO Treme . Lo Treme is hyper all compared to series like Showtime. Each episode lasts about sixty minutes, except the first and last, and despite often convey ideas and cohesive whole, including submitting dyes occasionally episodic, "seems to begin and end at random moments in the life of a character, giving the feeling of actually achieved and strengthening the connection and commitment to the characters. This also helps that the first season has had only ten episodes and confirms that, despite knowing little if the series is quality, the small number of episodes of the cable series, in contrast to the generalist, benefits greatly to tell the story mode. In this sense, the ten episodes of Treme up a story absolutely perfect and round, which is appreciated every minute of every episode, and nothing is superfluous, almost seems unnecessary then even if Simon wants to have more is because there is more to tell.

has often been alluded to Glee when you've talked to Treme. Although the matter is trite, I need to briefly consider this comparison a priori forced. Glee While catching on television musical-or rather prolonged and stylized High School Musical phenomenon repeating the argument Popular- HBO has done, almost without anyone noticing, the final musical number . Many find problems when classifying Treme as a musical because the music seems more an accompaniment a tool to tell the story. However, one need only pause for a moment to think about the role of music in the series to realize that this argument falls under its own weight. Treme is a musical. It is also and perhaps primarily, a drama, but the fact that the songs, despite not being considered 'numbers', we speak of New Orleans, its people and its identity in the same way that the dialogue and stories of the characters.

Treme has a great melting pot of people who, through an eclectic array of stories, we come to speak of the same: the loss and survival after her. All characters' lives are affected to a greater or lesser extent by the great collective loss of the city of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, but each faces a personal loss that Simon used to construct a narrative that constantly branched underlying the idea of \u200b\u200brebuilding the city and of oneself, either showing a loss of business, Janette, Ladonna the desperate search to find her lost brother after Hurricane Creighton Cross or the city that no longer ignored. Almost always, despite the constant rebuke to take the characters, and the viewer suffers in the flesh ", there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, since the optimism and strength, symbolized by the unconditional persistence of traditions, the color of the holidays, and the music of New Orleans will be one step ahead of the sadness and pain, however much it costs, as the musical parade after Dayman funeral that ends the season in style. Therefore, Janette, and his eternal smile will launch a mobile food business to cater to the many street parties of the city shortly after closing his restaurant, Davis will soon embark on a fun musical career against the injustices committed after Hurricane and Ladonna postpone breaking the news of the death of his brother to attend the Mardi Grass. Despite telling the story of someone who does not get survive this loss, Cray, Treme concluded his first season as a poignant celebration of life, and is also one of the best stories of the past few years, in any form. That flashback scenes and the latest episode, in which reality takes over completely from the story, is confirmed.
ahead
As before, the second main theme of Treme is without doubt the identity of New Orleans, and not just after the disaster, but also before it. The first half of the series is more focused on showing how the city of New Orleans is perceived by foreign eyes, either through tourists who stand to listen to the buskers, and that must be happy playing for them the most emblematic songs of the New Orleans sound, or a great character as Koichi Toyama, Japanese jazz fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of all music created in the city. Speaking at "Shame, Shame, Shame" (1.05) and its subsequent return in "All on a Mardi Gras Day" (1.08) represents the differences in the perception of a city among locals and visitors.

Katrina's experience reinforces the need to protect the identity of New Orleans, and Treme this work is carried out all the characters, but overall, played Cray for a future winning John Goodman-who gets to make the voice of New Orleans is heard in a world that has DECIC ignore the tragedy of the city, focusing their attention on events broadcast by the media as 11-S. Davis, meanwhile, takes care to reinforce this idea, opposing clichés about New York City-the Thanksgiving parade, men in suits ", the authenticity of the city, offering an experience more real-and Janette will use to convince you not to leave, in one of these plots cliché that this time could not be otherwise. These two characters are the main ambassadors of the city that need representation and affirmation urgently, to survive and rebuild following the precepts that cemented and consolidated their identity.

David Simon confirmed these first ten episodes of Treme so far predicting several years now: it is on television, U.S., where today are the best stories, and more importantly, it is hereby where they have better .

recovered Classics: Riget (The Kingdom)

We make an exception in the usual role of the U.S. series in this blog, to talk about Riget, the series created by the Danish equally celebrated and reviled Lars Von Trier , in the process of redefining artistic before Dogma 95-and with camera in hand and the sharp assembly that would characterize his later works. The Kingdom, as is known internationally, has two sets of four episodes separated by three years, something not obvious, since the technical and visual finish both seasons is virtually identical and the actors do not experience notable physical changes at this time. It is difficult to classify the series following the classical taxonomy of formats Serial . Each episode lasts approximately 70 minutes, so that one could speak of two miniseries, although the intention of Von Trier seemed to be to extend the treatment history and approached the conventional series -head in each episode, cliffhangers . Moreover, in some countries the first season was released as a five-hour film, coming to appear on any list of essential films. The Danish filmmaker intended to film a third installment to conclude the story, he came to write the script, "but the death of several cast members and the rejection of the chain was left unfinished .

Summarize the argument Riget with intent to get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat it offers the series is impossible. Overall, the action takes place in a hospital dominated by a supernatural force that makes both employees and patients or experiencing a series of phenomena terrifying and baffling . This is the premise, but the end result is far from a conventional history. The argument runs between the absurdity of everyday hospital doctors-perhaps antecedent 's comedy Von Trier The Boss of It All - and paranormal events . It is a patient, Ms . Drusse la Sra . McClusky Danish-that provides the closest thing to a thread of argument, assume a link between the world of the living and the dead. However, Riget is a succession of scenes that seem unrelated at first sight and it is difficult to deduce what is happening, which leads to frustration and boredom even the most accustomed to such accomplishments. The moments of terror are conveniently distributed throughout the episodes, be highly effective among the unbearable scenes of dialogue between doctors. Typically, an episode ends with a disturbing scene -some cool, like the birth of Judith , which could have inspired a perfectly Takashi Miike Gozu in and some really scary and reminiscent of films like The Exorcist - but this, despite the good taste to leave will not be enough to make the story more interesting.

Fortunately, Riget has an eccentric sense of humor that saves while not function, makes viewing more bearable, the carefully prepared and oppressive atmosphere and excellent realization also help. Although it disconcerting at first, Lars Von Trier is highly aware of what you are doing, one is confirmed in the credits of the last episode when I hear refer to himself as "humble director" - and a Having accepted the fact that psychological paraphernalia Riget is only a tool to create a link with the viewer and laugh a little of it, as will be the keynote of the director in years post-it is easier to let go and enjoy the attractions of the series. That is, taken seriously Riget is very dangerous, and unfortunately, it may take longer than normal to notice.

Showtime and women II: United States of Tara Showtime and women

When I learned that Diablo Cody was preparing a television series for Showtime shotguns loaded instantly. I was right in my prejudice against this young lady after watching a few episodes of United States of Tara : artificiality, cultural references and a sock stuffed with highly self-indulgent speech. I had little difficulty recognizing the writer Juno in dialogs U.S. of Tara, and therefore assume that the series does not have much to offer. Seldom have I glad to be wrong. While the first season continued to offer the worst of the complacent Cody, it was easy to circumvent it for great chemistry between the characters and story more and more emotional and compelling. The second season, despite not a good start, the series has established itself as one of the best comedies on television today.

The secret U.S. of Tara lies in complete control of emotions and have found a perfect balance between the most eccentric situations and moments of everyday life more mundane and manners-a point in common with Jackie Nurse. That and the fact that each episode ensures occasional laugh, make U.S. of Tara a delicious comedy that not only ensures a half hour of 'healthy' fun week, but also offers a beautiful speech about family and relationships. This is the new sitcom, which has been brewing for some years. The era of canned laughter gave way to a type of comedy that besides winning technical quality of television drama drank, hybridizing genres and finding the greater complicity with the viewer, making us laugh at the misfortunes and mourn apparently with comic moments. U.S. of Tara might be considered the epitome of this type of dramedy, inviting reflection on human nature, making us laugh at life and ourselves.

The second season of Tara U.S. has strengthened the Gregson family members as some of the best characters of the television season. Starting with Tara, it is appreciated that this season his other personalities have not had much stage presence, to me Toni Colette saturated me, really. Family life continues to revolve around Tara's disease, but it is interesting to explore possible without complete chapters DECIC to alter . If the first season served to make known to all United States, this has focused on exploring further the identity of Tara. We have seen emerge a stronger personality that was overshadowed last season and unexplored by the presence of alters . The strange thing is that the search for Tara to find a source to your problem has resulted in the emergence of two personalities, Shoshanna and Chicken, "and yet, the overpopulation of alters has negatively affected the story. On the contrary.


Like Nurse Jackie, the importance of a good squad secondary U.S. of Tara is capital. If the number of nurses are secondary anthology as Zoey, or Akalitus O'Hara, U.S. of Tara no shortage of great characters to accompany the protagonist. Stand Kate and Charmaine. The first has won the approval of many spectators who ignored in the previous season. The eldest daughter of Tara and Max has starred this year more Martian frames, but thanks to them, we have witnessed an-original-maturation process that has made us reflect on the important and sometimes exclusive, role of others in the formation of our identity. In a scene from episode 2.11, Tara advised his daughter not to forget to be herself, to which Kate replies, "ja, ja and ja." It's hard to be yourself while still not really anyone, and when the nearest reference figure is a woman with multiple personality disorder. The powerful union of this family is reflected in domestic relations. U.S. of Tara achieved perfection portray those moments when love of neighbor is evident though not explicitly stated. He does it every time Marshall sits on the bed of her sister, Kate calls whenever Moosh Moosh or any other nickname to his brother, or a smile of a sick mother to her children in the kitchen after a day without knowing about them. And also increasingly Charmaine incredible that comes into play, showered with prizes for Rosemarie DeWitt, please. Its disheartening normal desire is truncated by the large-and dependence-influence of the family of his sister in his life. Charmaine is however quite naturally and resignation in a situation as complicated as that of Gregson, a family that comes only a hyperbolic way represent dysfunctions of all families.

Based on the alleged recovery of Tara at the beginning of the season, we have witnessed a progressive degeneration, excellently exposed character. It has further explored the figure of the perfect husband, Max, who has become on more than one spouse / nurse Tara. Already in the first season we see how the disease affects her husband Tara, but it was in this when we have seen the consequences truly a life like yours. Max has known the limit of endurance, has questioned the identity of his wife, "I thought it was great that Max was not sure if Tara was Tara or a new alternative - and has made a big mistake. After witnessing and mediate most difficult moments of his wife remember the incredible episode Torando, where Tara became a medley of their personalities or the presence of Chicken Charmaine's wedding, "Max arrives a stirring conclusion:

"I wish it'd Been us getting married today.'d Stand up in front of all These People and I'd say" I love this woman! "Then I'd look in your eyes and I ' d say, "if you're Tara, I'll be Max. But if you're Gimme, I'll be gotcha. And if you're Buck, I'll be your bike. If you're Alice, I'll be your astronaut. Chicken And I'd carry to the car, Even Though I Knew She Was Pretending To Be Asleep "

U.S. of Tara invites us to go from laughter to the pot, and does so as if it cost him nothing. Finding the perfect balance between comedy and drama seems to be easy if we take into account the increasingly common tendency to hybridize both on television U.S., but few series achieve a harmony so perfect as U.S. of Tara undoubtedly the best Showtime series to date.

Is Mucus Normal Before First Period

I: Nurse Jackie recovered

Showtime has spent years forging an identity based series shocking, risky and where the fun and pure entertainment and casual seems to be the main keynote . Despite having a successful drama respected by critics - Dexter - is curious to see how the chain comedies are giving him his greatest successes creative, and have come to develop an interesting brand. Even more remarkable is that most of these plays tell us the stories of middle-aged women, mothers with bigger problems Than life struggling to protect their families and that the collateral damage of their internal cross are minimal. Ladies send in Showtime, and the great actresses of Hollywood know that this house has become one of the best showcases to demonstrate that the myth that actresses over forty do not have roles in the film is not extrapolated to television. The huge Mary - Louise Parker planted the road with the hilarious Weeds, which was followed by two premieres last season, Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara - converted a successful meeting this year double. After the end of season two latter, Parker will take over and she is joined by Laura Linney with The Big C .

Nurse Jackie was for me the weakest of the female comedy Showtime -compare with the disaster that is Californication would be unfair. This season, the series of junkie nurse not only has come to conquer , but has it increased significantly my respect for a television network that always won my most feverish criticism. Nurse Jackie has never shown interest in sexual and violent spectacle of other series made in Showtime -something necessarily negative essence, "but rather has been constructed based on everyday home and work, one of those stories that at times seem to be counting on anything, but just showing a snippet of the lives of characters. This attracted me initially because I was a little tired of extravagant plots and characters always on the verge of a more exaggerated caricature. However, as I struggled to find enough interesting characters Nurse Jackie . Some seemed nice, but most left me completely indifferent and made me wonder whether I was interested in hearing about their lives. Fortunately, this second season has who loves all the characters, with two exceptions, and yet, with several nuances.

First, Jackie . And secondly Eddie, but I do not need to explain why I hate this guy and his nasty omnipresence. Better talk about Jackie . It's annoying when the star of a series I dislike. My problem with Jackie is not its moral, do not hate to deceive everyone, and especially her husband is perfect, cocky attitude and what irritates me. I realize that is personal, but I usually have problems with this type of character, the House of life-yes, the comparison is necessary, unfortunately, that make the Borderia and sarcasm an art. I get tired, simply not make me not a little grace. However, this is a minor problem which fortunately is sorteable. Once accustomed to Jackie, once accepted, I can only enjoy everything around him.

side The Nurse Jackie have reached another level during this second season. Zoey is perhaps the one that has remained unchanged, but this may be because she was great from the first scene. On the contrary, Dr . O 'Hara has become a character very interesting and rich in nuances. Their vulnerability has been explored from various points of view, "very briefly, with his relationship with reporter played by Julia Ormond or through your generosity with Jackie , which professes to be the main reason to go work-to organize their shifts to coincide with her best friend always, adorable. Not that O 'Hara were not this way in the first season. These features were part of his personality , although slow to emerge. But this season, Best Eve has managed to build a much more complete, thanks to a component download parody in his character last season was only open his mouth to speak of clothing or remind everyone how rich it is. Moreover, the bonds between characters are narrowed, and is exciting to see, usually through scenes premium subtlety, detail and emotion of everyday moments. Any gesture of affection between these characters is very touching.

And what about the immeasurable Gloria Akalitus . Too, therefore let's leave an "I love you, Gloria."

If Queer as Folk everyone is gay , in The L Word there is little hetero women, and Dexter everyone is in favor of the death penalty in Nurse Jackie , nurses are always better and save more patients than doctors themselves. This view conveniently fictional hospital has nurses, especially the protagonist, a hero in the shadows, those whose hard work provides the laurels to the patronizing doctors. physicians All Saints absent. His work seems to consist solely in consultations to respond quickly to return to their ego-bubbles. This is only a necessary resource to provide Jackie an authority that will be important to its character. In this sense, it would be interesting to further explore the consequences of the superiority of Jackie in their work. Coop complaints -that stupid and adorable boy-on Jackie in the first half of the season seemed to introduce a plot in which Jackie finally was going to take a stick to act as the ultimate authority of the hospital but was a mere anecdote. In the last episode of the season "Years of Service " Jackie is the consequences of their actions, and instead of accepting them, the brave violently confronts Edie Falco for this scene, refusing to admit problem. That is, Jackie acts more than ever like an addict, and not just a drug addict, but his position of superiority and control. And this is a great success, and a good way to prepare the ground for the third season. I'm looking forward to next summer to continue getting to know Jackie a little better than those around her:

"Anyone Who knows knows you They don't you know "

Classics: Undeclared

Although some summer releases are raising so many expectations as the autumnal or those of the mid-season , and these we will be busier than normal television necessities, the summer is ideal for catching up with the series that takes a backward or to recover classic television series, or of short duration and rapid consumption. Undeclared has only one season has 17 episodes, released in 2001. Furthermore, it is a twenty-minute comedy, which at the outset, is perfect for this time ... provided they do not have anything better to do, and unfortunately, in this case, it's easy to have it. Undeclared

is the ugly little sister and Freaks & Geeks (discussed here ) . Created by my adored Judd Apatow, the comedy can not reach or the soles of his shoes to his predecessor, which seems to be a natural extension. The reflections on the social behavior and construction of identity as well managed with Paul Feig in "Freaks Geeks are reduced in Undeclared to a minimum. Instead, Undeclared offers jokes and situations more typical of a sitcom anyone. And the most important factor, the characters, it also pales in comparison with Freaks & Geeks . There seems to be on Undeclared an intention to do minimally interesting characters. Take for example the protagonist, Seteven Karp (Jay Baruchel), a geek happy to leave behind his life in high school and start-an idea which could have a long way, but you just missed greatly. Steven is a superficial character with little charisma, and if this happens to your character, imagine the side. Steven interaction with their new roommates is very unnatural and the chemistry between characters is conspicuous by its absence. There is hardly a shred of sense of true friendship between these characters, who seem to behave like robots in their relationships, those in charge before scanning. As a result, what we perceive is a coldness that works against the series. If the situations were not so absurd comedy, random and topical, we could overlook that. The problem is that this is not a sitcom , but behaves like one. And finally, if the characters do not engage, and plots and gags are in their best, mediocre, inevitably wonder if Apatow was wrong choosing to tell this story format. Or if you simply made a mistake by taking the project to the FOX. Undeclared

is therefore more American Pie that Freaks & Geeks and any of the Apatow film productions. The parade of familiar faces confirms the dependence of an ever growing number of fetish actors to develop an image of authority that has consolidated in recent years. In Undeclared, in addition to Seth Rogen as one of the protagonists in "Freaks Geeks was a secondary little presence, "Apatow Jason Segel uses, just gaining more prominence, to the detriment of the series, and other freaks and geeks as Samm Levine, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and David Krumholtz -all seen in Freaks & Geeks . Some of these players continue to appear in Apatow productions, forming a large family that has branched out, reducing the six degrees of separation to just one-and extending to the charges of production, Greg Mottola directing a few episodes. And therein lies one of the few attractions of Undeclared , in recognition of these actors, which almost always interpreted eccentric characters and hopefully, more fun than the players.

is not easy to find, but there are several positive aspects that make Undeclared a remotely pleasant viewing. As I said, some secondary characters pose great successes in casting rather unfortunate. In episode 1.07, "Addicted", Will Ferrell plays a thirtysomething who has not achieved anything in life and is dedicated to making within 24 hours of academic work for the university, also read nine books a week. This episode introduces a degree of reflection which vanishes like a mirage, but it works while it lasts. Loudon Wainwright III-yes, the father of Rufus and Martha "is another hit series. Wainwright excels playing the father of Steven, a man in full midlife crises that found in Steve's roommates in college life and a means of rejuvenation. Finally, Tina Ellroy stands, played by Christina Payano, would not return to action after Undeclared - dorm mate female protagonists. Tina is a typical case of character-bulk just gaining prominence in his own right, and on balance, she is the protagonist of the most successful comic scenes of the series as the musical battle with Rachel after spending el día escuchando la misma canción. También se pasean por la serie actores que más adelante ganaría notoriedad televisiva, como Amy Poehler, Jenna Fischer o Tom Welling, pero sus intervenciones son esporádicas en el mejor de los casos, e insoportables en el peor -como la habitualmente genial Poehler.

Por lo demás, Undeclared no supera las expectativas tras haber disfrutado de una maravilla como Freaks & Geeks . Con excepción de algunos episodios -como el 1.05, que eleva el nivel de calidad y bizarrismo, quizás gracias a estar dirigido por Seth Rogen- la serie deambula entre la intrascendencia y la estupidez de tramas episódicas que no llevan a ninguna parte -Lizzie putting wicks, Steven leaving it to religion after hearing a sermon, Ron and Lloyd investing in the stock market online, and a long frame etéctera flowing into each more ridiculous scenes. At first glance, Apatow seems willing to have fun and entertain the audience, without any pretensions. However, after watching the last episode of Undeclared , one wishes that there had been a little more pretentious, or that he called his friend Paul Feig to throw him a hand. If you want to see Apatow's work in full, or if not has nothing to do, something almost impossible, the viewing of Undeclared is justified. If not, it is better to act as if never existed, and enjoy Freaks & Geeks or Superbad.

True Blood, HBO's wet dream

Not that the Home Box Office you will require a lot of success, remains the main chain of reference when talking about quality television. But it is true that since the end of The Sopranos and Sex in New York , has not had many shows on the grid to benefit from the ubiquity of these two media. That gap currently fills True Blood, a ratings success and a phenomenon on the Internet. The third season premiere this Sunday at 5.1 met million Americans-a figure that continues to impact whether we think of the series struggling to stay in networks with audiences of 2-3 million, "up to 38% with respect to the premiere of the second a year ago. As we saw in this entry, the viral campaign for this season has been a success in itself, its value as a secondary text can be analyzed as part of the series rather than a mere exercise in publicity, "and also has been reflected in hearing the excellent episode.

What were those 5.1 million Americans and as many millions of Internet users who downloaded the episode after issuance? Basically, True Blood in its essence: sex, great performances over the top -yes, I love me-Paquin, violence, special effects deliciously camp, and that we love so much, a huge self-consciousness - and well exploited. And this was not enough, this season starts confirming what we had long suspected: True Blood is the gayest series on TV today. In many cases gives the impression that the target audience for the series is gay, while recognizing that knows how to satisfy all genders and sexualities in greater or lesser extent. The truth is that the series is made for the enjoyment of a spectator is free prejudice and willing to have fun, without any further requirements in principle, but the shirtless scenes of four male sex objects in the series and especially the much talked dream of Sam, seem to have a very definite target in mind, we can not forget that the series has played on many occasions as a metaphor for the acceptance of difference in society. The statements of the actors Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer on the desire that his characters had that "experience" with the same sex and the signing of Kevin Alejandro boyfriend to make Lafayette only confirm this theory. But hey, I am not anyone discovered America, right?

All this is not simply the result of a great interaction from the makers of the series and its fandom - and a clear interest in Alan Ball in the subject. They we have heard / read and know what we like. Why not make us happy? -One of the first promotional images Alcide the werewolf played by Joe Manganiello, leaves no doubt. And so, if you are listening to me, gentlemen of HBO and Mr. Ball, we wish to see Maryann. Although Pam divismo has increased considerably, and glimpse a worthy replacement for the crazy maenad. Pam has always liked, and the role that looks set to buy this season is more than welcome , Also enters the game factor-Sappho, somewhat less explored so far. And if anyone doubts it is aware of everything that Alan Ball and his team, here's irrefutable proof:

Pam: "Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink, But please remember, I can rip your throat out if I need to And Also Know That I am not a hooker. That Was a long, long time ago. "

"Bad Blood" is a stunning first episode of a season that followed in this line, we will spend a summer fun-it's almost a sure bet. True Blood again leaving out some bombast and affectation in his dialogues, and ceding the spotlight almost complete humor-Sookie: "I'm not in the mood for lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam" - and at a faster rate than normal. Only the drama of Tara brings a more serious note episode that confirms the essentially comic parody of the series. Jason and highlight problems of conscience - "conscience off, dick on" is a one-liner of those who remain, not to mention the "pussy overflow" - and the ever lovely Jessica and Hoyt - "I got a new haircut! Actually I think it makes me look kinda badass! " And if we highlight a one-liner , in line with the ideas of the second paragraph of this post, it would be this: "I hear the water in Arkansas is ... very hard! "It will be difficult to forget the camp homoeroticism and achieved tension of the scene between Bill and Sam. Forget it will be especially difficult if, like me, you think to see again and again, at least until another scene of this kind of eclipse.

Conclusion: True Blood is not only HBO's wet dream, but also that of many seriéfilos wanting to binge, and too much time on their hands summer keyword: "hands".

Week Finale Grey's Anatomy Finale

been almost a month since its release, but still hear echoes of that hybrid shoot 'em up , survival and horror movie serial murderer who is Shonda Rhimes marked the end of the sixth season of Grey's Anatomy . And this is normal, because few times on TV has gotten way to manage stress so masterful, so much to provoke in the viewer a continuous feeling of anxiety and the 'fun' that entails. After the episode "Death and All His Friends", the mental and emotional exhaustion is huge. And at such manipulation of the viewer, I can only take my hat off and applaud Shonda. Bravo, bravo, bravo.

I've always said Grey's Anatomy has some of the most wealthy and complete by today. I have also stated on numerous occasions that this is due to the fact that the more risk with a character, more out of it will be removed. Doctors of Grey's Anatomy are more than clichés. It is customary in the series that deals are made up of highly iconic and recognizable characters and relationships of opposites or very basic features that define their interaction with others. In Grey's Anatomy this does not happen in such an accused. All characters have one thing in common: they are self-centered, immature, behave like teenagers, "selfish and human, very human, that is, err on each step they take. Apart from this, and despite the care nuances of individual personalities, archetypes are not very sharp in the series. This is what I admire most about Ms. Rhimes, its ability to penetrate deeper into the characters than usual. And that is why, among other things, an end like the sixth season seems an exercise in narrative construction and exemplary character development. Not all TV producers are willing to bring their characters to the limits that Rhimes has been theirs. And many may see it as a simple exercise culebronesca narrative-and who knows, might even be right- but what I see is an emotional commitment to the characters, including a dissent and challenge to the standard that few authors take. Come on, that the evolution of Dr. House, compared with that of Meredith Grey, remains in its infancy. So clear.

In an interview after the premiere of the final, Shonda said their physical and emotional exhaustion after signing the script for "Sanctuary" and "Death and All His Friends." That is the commitment of the speaker-mixed with a little silly. Rhimes's involvement with his characters has been so great that has come to take its toll, and I stress, the woman is something drama queen, that's true. In his words removed also a great skill in handling detail at the time of writing. All at the end of the season is measured to the millimeter, the large domain of cause and effect, not only in the episode, but in the long term, is another of the strengths of the script. Paving the way for an end to these characteristics is not a complicated task. Just enter a conflict as opening up the disaster, and so did several episodes before the apparently 'pointless' story of Gary Clark, a name that will cost us forget. What is harder is to involve each and every one of the characters, taking into account developments over the series, and in particular of the season in a conflict that entry seems not to accommodate excessive introspection. No doubt Shonda gets it.

The sixth season of Grey's Anatomy has been perhaps the most uneven to date. The series has not experienced a drop in quality as many of his contemporaries, but it is true that his plots are more scattered and forgettable. Not to mention patients increasingly ridiculous and repetitive-Shonda, you should learn in this sense Nurse Jackie, series makes great use of patients. However, this season has served to learn a little more to the characters without 'interference' caused by great dramas and tragedies. If you allow me the bold comparison, this season has been like Elephant by Gus Van Sant, only better, and that's not a dare, is social suicide in some circles. The 22 episodes prior to "Sanctuary" have brought us all the characters, including West-Mercy intruders, even taking us often to their home environments. Fear for the loss of many characters and has been magnified. It does not happen much with the intruders, at least in my case. The killing of Seattle Grace used to remove the template to two characters unbearable, Reed and Percy. By contrast, Avery Kepner and become fixed for next season, but not before trying them more attractive to the viewer. Again, bravo, Shonda, for taking full advantage of the situation.

"Sanctuary", the first part is the highlight of the double episode. The impact of the first gun shot Gary Clark in front of Reed confirms what we had been fearing for a while: it is just another day at Seattle Grace. But nobody expected what followed the shocking death of Reed. Too many moments that stand out. In fact, the two-hour episode is a collection of highlights, so I am forced to select only a few scenes. List them in separate paragraphs, because somehow worthy of special mention among the tirades for this entry:

1. Cristina and Callie cried at breakfast. Dramedy in its purest form, and one of the sources of Grey's Anatomy. And one of the great examples of what they are usually their teasers.

2. The shot Reed-yes, I had to repeat it, "and the strength of the top of your head hitting the ground.

3. The meeting in the elevator of Gary Clark and Christina. Perhaps the most brilliant of the whole episode, that Shonda would think after writing "fuck, what Hitchcock I am!" As I said, a perfect use of the characters. Cristina was most appropriate for this scene was as effective as possible.

4. Cristina: "I gotta admit, I hope you and Derek die, just a little bit". Shonda, la cachonda.

5. Gary Clark contra Miranda Bailey. A estas alturas, ya no hay uñas. Ver a Gary Clark sacando a Miranda a rastras de debajo de la cama es terrorífico. Verla mentir al asesino después de que este matase a Percy por decirle que es doctor lo es aún más.

6. El encuentro Clark-Shephard. A pesar de estar a punto de ser empañada por el discurso de turno en el que un personaje cuenta una historia sobre su pasado, la dilatada escena nos brinda algunos de los mejores momentos del episodio: Derek -y Shonda- exponiendo la esencia de la serie: "Please, look at me in the eye, I'm a human being. I make mistakes. I'm flawed. We all are "; Meredith and terror over the possible loss of one who loves, and especially speech on April oprahiano Kepner when confronted with Gary Clark. worthy of being transcribed:

" My name is April Kepner . I'm 28 years old. I Was Born in Ohio on April 23rd. I'm from Columbus, Ohio. My mom is a teacher and my dad is a farmer. Corn. I como corn. Their names Are Karen and Joe. I have three sisters! Libbie is first, I'm next. Then There's Kimmy, and Alice. I have not done anything yet ... I have not - I've barely Lived! I'm not finished yet! No one's loved me yet! Please! Please! I'm someone's child! I'm a person! I'm a person! "

7. Webber, powerless witness of the tragedy of "their" hospital via the police radio and Clark-final meeting with more examples of masterful integration of the frames of the characters in the events of the episode.

8. Miranda and his reaction to verify that the elevators do not work. Not so much for the interpretation of Chandra Wilson-I do not see Emmy, but the nomination would not surprise me, "but for what it means for us the discharge of tension at this point of the episode.

9. The happy ending to Arizona and Callie, one of the most emotional moments of the episode, and a pleasant surprise to find that a relationship takes hold we had considered finished.

10. And finally, how could it be otherwise, MEREDITH GREY.

- Meredith: Stop crying. Look, it Took me a long time to find him. A long time. And Even Then it Took me a long time to even know That I wanted him, to be married, His Wife To Be, To Have His kids. And Now That I realize That, he's lying on a table in there and my best friend's Hands Are His chest inside. You do get to cry about That.
- April Kepner: Reed was my best friend. She Died Today.


Rhimes used the biggest crisis in the history of Seattle Grace to talk about their characters, to take stock of your progress in six years, some less, and pave the way for more changes. Shonda admitted that the tragedy of Seattle Grace will affect all the characters and from the seventh season, none will be as it was. I know, is a promise hard to believe, but to me it is enough to wait for the seventh season of the series as rain in May. This, after six years, is a real achievement.

What Does It Mean When Someone's Hand Shakes

Week: How I Met Your Mother

While How I Met Your Mother has two seasons lost and adrift, I must confess I still enjoy the series in some strange way. I do not know if they are their characters, or without realizing I've fallen into the cult that both strove to develop the beginning of the series and that makes the mere act of watching these characters in action-but action is the worst fucking bad-can extract something positive. In their favor to be a sitcom . Given what I said in my previous post, if this were a series of forty minutes, the collateral damage from a slump in quality would be much higher. Twenty minutes a week will not hurt. And there's always wanted to spend those minutes with Ted, Barney, Robin, Marshall and Lily. How I Met Your Mother has gone from being a comedy of interesting narrative structure and good characters to a series of watch and forget. And nothing happens.

"Doppelgangers" making good idea, one of those frames- running gag in the style of the Slap Bet , and uses it to spin the end of the season and give us one of those sugary and buenrollistas end to the series we are accustomed. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe fifth doppelganger as a signal for Marshall and Lily decide to have a child plays with one of the key messages present in the series: chance and randomness of events as primarily responsible for the transformation of our lives, and the possibility of taking the lead and not sit around waiting for fate to decide for us. The last scene of the series, in which Lily sees Barney clearly twice when no other, nor do the spectators confirms this idea, and dismissed the season with a nice note and-slightly-touching. Sure it's no genius by any means. This is one of many late in the convention and moralizing are about to ruin the show.

On the other hand, the rest of the episode goes unnoticed, except for the plot of Robin and Don, that couple of which we know absolutely n ada, whose love story has been entirely the margin of the viewer. Recently, Robin has given me the best moments in the series. However, in "Doppelganger" gives me the worst, starring in a clichéd plot, moreover, has been already used in earlier series, this has recycling was the year of criminal and indiscriminate patterns in many series, I mean the eternal dilemma "I have made a job offer, but to accept it, I have to move." We've seen Robin in this situation, was it necessary to do it again? On this occasion, the action leads to two changes ahead of next season: Robin single-together with a Barney-and determined to regain it again roommate Ted-the almost kiss at the end of the episode was a good punch line . Moreover, the decision serves only to fill Robin minutes of the most lazy, and to show the real Don. But frankly, nobody cares.

Personally, I prefer "Robots vs. Wrestlers" (5.22) as 'conclusion' of this season because I do not care much who mess with whom, the children with Marshall and Lily, or even who is the future wife of Ted. In the end, what I enjoy most is the friendly local dynamics of these five characters. I like to see what unites them and sets them apart, what makes one to the other, despite being so different from each other. And so, How I Met Your Mother is still a good bet to escape reality and have a good time. The friction makes the love, and ultimately I end up gaining sugar.

Week Finale: Finale Week

And the week dedicated to the end of the season in strong The Fuertecito reaches its fifteenth day. What, Fuertecito has the power to extend the time. That, and their academic obligations prevented him from updating the blog [end use of the third person]. So long ago I saw the final comment I have left, not only have I forgotten episodes, but I forgot what I wanted to say about them. Yes, gentlemen, this is the new seriéfilo . We do not want to admit it, but the boundless supply of "quality" of the tele American forces us to become consumers compulsive devouring the series not to let it stand, and do things like swallowing nine episodes of hit to end a season and have time to start over or continue a series that had stopped months ago. Too many sets, too little time. And this way of consuming television is becoming more inevitable even if, like this year, supply chain general gives considerable downturn quality. Good series, good episodes, are recorded. Mediocre and pathetic episodes are consumed and discarded. And of those we had this year too. What exhaustion. And what a shame the film, which relegate to second place because there is no time for him! This must change. But let us leave this discussion for another day, and let's focus in the series that we have left for comment.

If there is a series that has won this season most of beatings and boos of me is desperate Women. I will not elaborate too much, since I have made clear many times my opinion on the sixth season of the series of Marc Cherry : it stunk like never before. And not even good enough to laugh at it.

milestones is a pity that cathode as Bang ", the episode confirmed that Women was desperate much more than a guilty pleasure, are completely buried by each and every one of the episodes of the season just ended. We know that the pace of TV is dizzying, and the spectators, very analytical, rational and fair we are, we can not avoid losing perspective when a number exceeds five seasons. That is, under the nonsense that has been the sixth season, is easier than when I finish the series, remember Women from desperate grief and anger for having ruined a really good, let her three excellent first seasons (try to combat this.)

The last episode season, "I Gess This Is Goodbye "-song we should sing a lot, and I know that many others have done, "closes the endless mystery of season, the family Bolen. Angie & co. have not even one good moment of tension and interest as they once did or Young Betty Applewhite . The writers -by to call in some way, have been bringing up his past as if one had prepared two details about it and did not want to reveal it until the end. What remains in the middle is a lot of bullshit. And if these characters were at least minimally interesting or charismatic would have had something to pass the time until the lift came to a close, but not, I know that many will disagree with this, but to me, Angie Bolen I found a horrible character, and the rest of the family, better not talk. "I Gess This Is Goodbye " not only ends the story of Bolen , but closes the history of Eddie , the teenage serial murderer Wisteria Lane . I do not know which of the two plots has seemed worse. If the Bolen by boring and predictable, or the Eddie as absurd and ridiculous.

Fortunately, the end of this season does not reach the level of poignancy of the last episode of the fifth, may be an illusion caused by what we have endured for nine months. Although we have to ignore many things to judge minimally positive about the episode: the stupid problems Mike and Susan "I could not hate more Mike Delfino this season," Angie pump "I laugh out loud in your face, really," the evil played by John Barrowman -avoid comments that I 'll be accused of things that I am not, "Orson , which I always liked, and after this season I can not not join the big club of haters - and above all, above all, the infamous scene of post-apocalypse meeting Susan, Lynette , Gabby and Bree, which is not a single reference to the traumatic events that occurred in the neighborhood. And I do not speak of ellipsis , this is what is called "a crap script." I thought the end of this paragraph balancing the scales and listing the positive aspects of the episode, but I think it would be unfair, while making a task too difficult.

El año que viene seguiré visitando Wisteria Lane -abandonar una serie después de seis años me resulta muy difícil, a pesar de todo lo anterior-, con la esperanza de que sea el último, y de que un episodio musical me haga olvidar todo el sufrimiento innecesario de este año. Cherry , pon a tus señoras a cantar, es lo único que puede arreglar este entuerto.


Para leer un amplio y certero repaso de la temporada a través de las principales tramas -las que más prometían-, os remito a esta entrada mi amigo Bertoff, el mayor amante de las desesperadas que conozco.

Finale Week: Gossip Girl Finale

Determined. The episode closes the third season of Gossip Girl , "Last Tango, Then Paris" is for me the end of the series. After a season even more eternal than the last, I am more aware than ever of the real waste of time that I am supposed to follow the 'exciting' adventures of this group of adolescents-is interpreted by actors say, 25. At first I thought I could wear to finish due to the season, saw nine episodes in three days. After they hatch the idea about minutes I realized it was greatly undervalued. I'm tired of the series because it has saturated me to see so many back episodes, I'm tired because I do not provide any motivation to keep watching, and thanks to the grueling marathon that I have come to that conclusion. Gossip Girl

was during his first season my favorite guilty pleasure . It had everything to gain my wholehearted devotion. Was created by Josh Schwartz, the head of another of my guilty pleasures, The OC -this is infinitely better to the point of eliminating it for 'guilty' on many occasions, was a story about teenagers and was shot in New York-sin distort locations. The self-consciousness and self-reflexivity that each dialogue peppered The OC was also present in Gossip Girl, as in the first, increasing over time. The difference is that with increasing metatextual games and self references in The OC , the characters actually showed signs of evolution, which does not happen in Gossip Girl . The Upper East Side boys stood there in the first year. As much as they are constantly exposed to traumatic experiences and their love lives extraordinary, social and family suffering rebuke continuous-in many cases, gravity-in the end, all are ready for the party in power that serves as a narrative of each episode.

This third season has fallen more low, because, as is often the case with most teenage series, Gossip Girl has suffered the consequences of moving their stories from high school to college. Not that the defining academic experience to Gossip Girl, but the silliness of the protagonists had grace set in high school, thanks to the great burden that this implied satirical. Something similar happened with Veronica Mars . The protagonist was a young detective and the main attraction of the series in addition to his charismatic star, Kirsten Bell, the voice of Gossip Girl, "was moving the black genre elements into the corridors of the institute. It was a great idea with excellent results during his first two seasons. Arrival in the third, with Veronica in college, the essence of the series was lost in some way, although the quality was maintained. In the case of Gossip Girl , the university has only served to shift attention completely to the 'home' of the protagonists, so the family dramas, the stupefying plots on Chuck's mother and the father of Serena and the endless splits and reconciliations, we do not know who's been with whom, and we care-take the entire season. Back was the sharp social commentary about class warfare in American institutions and the importance of new technologies to define adolescent relationships in the XXI century. All that remains in Gossip Girl telenovela is the component, and that's not enough. Watching these teenagers acting like adults in an adult world is just ridiculous and if I may comment on crock, something dangerous to the teen audience of the series.

The truth is that the season started on the right foot, with the promise of exploiting the characters' personalities in an environment as different as the university. Then everything went by the wayside. What followed is a stretch of the plot that if opponents of Lost see it, should rethink his criticism of the set of JJ Abrams. All to come to an end which still has the tone of the rest of the season: insignificance, emptiness and boredom. I said, and is not worth guilty pleasure.

"Last Tango, Then Paris" uses the more traditional cliffhangers, lazy, infidelity, pregnancy, possible death of a character and travel to Paris. The only closure that I found satisfatorio is one of the most hostiables television, Jenny Humphrey. The epiphany that leads away from Manhattan after sleeping with Chuck I found a good spin, despite arriving extremely late - how much we hated Jenny this season? More than ever!. Moreover, little to report. Perhaps only the absurd presence of Georgina Sparks, Michelle always fun-disguised Tratchenberg Hannah Montana and repeating the opening sequence starring Serena in the pilot-hence the self-reflexivity, but why? The other characters are bored and irritated in equal measure. Dan's relationship, the man who speaks faster and less vocalizing, and Vanessa, the more incoherent character of the series tells of how a relationship between best friends, a field worth exploring and totally wasted. On the other hand, assumes that we have to worry about the future of the primary relationship of the series, Blair and Chuck, but these two were no longer interesting minimally long ago not to say that the chemistry between the actors is zero. And finally, Serena and Nate have sex with food and fights whose origin is beyond our understanding. Nothing there, nothing around here.

short, not a single character from Gossip Girl not be me, at least odious. Even Blair is saved and Waldorff, once adored by me. Dorota is an exception, but let's say she does not have-I hate to say it, but it's true. For all this, Gossip Girl left, facing the upcoming fall TV season, a gap of one hour a week for another series that I reward the investment of time, I hate to think in these terms, but we must be practical and not wear me neurons. What is clear is that they'll look at The CW.
