What Shows Are You Watching?

All hail King Ragnar. What did you guys think of season 2 of Vikings? I read that in season 3 they're going to be raiding Paris, that should definitely not suck.

Fargo has been pretty solid so far.

The opening scene in this week's episode blew my mind! I really like the miniseries format because I feel like it frees the writers up to take the story wherever they want.

Started the Homeland series this week. Not bad, Claire Danes is an amazing actress.

Great show. Look on youtube for the SNL skit on homeland. It is hysterical.

Season two was amazing and totally didn't see the finale going down that way. I've done my best not to look into the historical stuff involving the characters so I can be surprised and thus far haven't been disappointed. Also I've seen some jacked up shit through my years of watching various shows, but I swear I have never seen nor heard of anything like the "Blood Eagle." And here I was thinking being drawn and quartered would be the worst death/torture from medieval times.

I believe most of it is staged.Before they came to be linked all together I saw different characters from 1 show appearing on another pretending they didnt know each other when they did.I'm sure a lot of them know their stuff,but its impossible to know all the shit they do.I'm sure they know what the customer is bringing in and learn everything about it before going on the air.

Ofcourse it is pre-scripted. Same as pawn stars. Do you know how much time and money would be wasted if they just filmed all day and than edited together the good parts.
However it is real in the way that somebody is walking in with an Elvis autograph at some point, or the pickers do find an antique harley in some barn. So it is still cool to watch, but yes they definitely script all the jokes, and finds or deals out.

I went on a fishing trip down in OBX, and apparently they were filming a, "wicked tuna south". Was talking to some of the fishermen out there- and they were telling me the whole thing is very scripted.

Some scenes they hooked fishing lines to cinder blocks and dropped em off to simulate a fish on the line. Pretty weak.

Yeah but they make it seem like its not! You have to apply to be on the show and tell them what you have,they are not actually freestyling around the country like they want you to believe.I havent seen it lately,but in the first seasons the camera angle would be inside the peoples house watching them pull up and everybody acts like theyre surprised to see them!
As far as your first point,I understand that,but I dont believe they drive around at all looking for stuff,its all staged.
