On the tv front
Sep. 25th, 2010 11:51 amI'm still enjoying Rubicon, in spite of certain flaws, because it's beautifully shot and some characters have grown on me (like Miles).
Not Will though, which is an issue since he is the hero of the tale. But Rubicon does have the most interesting gay character I have ever seen on tv, Kale Ingram !
He isn't the token gay so many shows feel necessary to have these days, he is a fascinating character who just happens to live with another (younger)man and who had affairs with other men in the past, but he would have been just as intriguing if he were heterosexual because his sex life has nothing to do with what makes him a compelling character–– that said I like the idea of those special operations being homosexually-oriented (it's a men's world!); even his relationship with Will has something that recalls the ancient Greek pederasty. In short, I could watch Rubicon just for Kale Ingram!
Mad Men continues to be awesome. In that other men's world, this episode was titled " The beautiful girls".

The first episode of the new season of House left me a bit nauseous despite the good acting. I miss what the show used to be in its three first seasons...
And Fringe is back !

ETA: I forgot to mention Terriers that is a lot of fun to watch. It has likeable characters and killing lines.
