Synopsis: Spoiler:
Episode 6 of 13 Just caught last week's episode yesterday. Like that they are slowly advancing the plot with Lights comeback and his brain damage/issues. Great series so far, it's sad that the ratings have been so low. I've come to accept this will probably be another 1 and done show for FX. Question, Did Lights and his wife separate at the end?

Wow, is no one a fan of this series?

Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
I think it's the best new show out there. Travesty it's not doing so well. It's original, well acted and well written. But then I loved Terriers too, so...

Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
I agree. I only saw the pilot for Terriers, but I'm loving "Lights Out." I didn't realize the ratings were so bad until today. I guess that lack of activity here shows that to be true, too.

Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
Odd indeed that it hasn't caught on...I think it's great.

I hate that FX shows don't show up on Hulu until 8 days after they air. At least have it be 7 days so if we miss 1 episode, we can catch up in time for the new one. Just got done watching last week's episode on Hulu and last night's episode um, elsewhere.
The pacing of this show is great. It feels like there is an urgency to everything that is happening, but they aren't rushing anything. This feels like the sort of story that should only last a few seasons, so hopefully FX sticks with it past the first season. I love Holt McCallany's performance. It's so nuanced and he fits into the role so well. I love how calm he is about everything that happens, and then every once in a while he just lets loose, but even then there is this calmness about him that is truly scary. Too bad the reporter lost his job, feel bad for the guy. Hope he sticks around though, maybe Lights will give him a big exclusive and help him get his job back. |

That exactly what I was thinking. It was too bad Lights never really caught on that this was just another guy with problems like him trying to do his job and make a living. (Then again, he did keep catching Lights in bad spots.)
I def hope that character sticks around. I get why he wouldn't talk about the knee-breaking and the cage match, but what harm was there in talking about the most recent incident? All Lights had to do was tell him what really happened that night. I'm sure had he done that the reporter would have believed him and reported on that, and there wouldn't have been a problem. Lights is a good guy though, I'm sure he won't leave the reporter out in the cold.

I think the show is fantastic. I don't know for some reason alot of cable shows in this forum don't have large followings here. Maybe because alot of people here don't have cable? Mad Men and The Walking Dead are probably the most popular basic cable shows in this forum right now.
It surprises me The Walking Dead is so popular on the board. I mean, I think it's ripe for discussion because of how terrible the writing was during the first season, but there are a ton of better shows on cable than The Walking Dead, especially the FX dramas. And let's be honest, Lights Out on its worst day is 10x better than The Walking Dead on its best. |
Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
I wonder if Barry is setting it up to have Morales take a fall.
It's a shame if the ratings are low. I'm kinda surprised this show doesn't do as well as other F/X shows since they are mostly geared toward males, and this is right in that wheelhouse. The fight-announcement press conference was hilarious. :lol: |

It's simple. Lights Out is nowhere near as dork friendly a show as the Walking Dead is.

Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
For sure it's Lights that Barry wants the current champ to fight after this bout... especially now since Johnny gave him up to Barry. He stands to take a larger cut of the purse to have both of his fighters going toe to toe than having to split the payday with El Diablo if they were to fight.

I thought he just pulled the strings to get him out of prison early? But then again, he did say he owned everybody when the reporter asked him about Jojo.

Well that's what I figured....if he pulled the strings, he wouldn't go to that trouble if he didn't own him.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Sparring so much, and destroying his partners, he's going to get over confident and over trained.

Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
:thumbsup: Just fininished this today. Another really good episode. Tuesday's in general is a pretty busy night for TV, but from what I've seen of FX's programming, it seems mostly male-oriented with the exception of Damages, which is now on Directv. This is a boxing show and FX's male audience should be eating this up. I have to assume the lack of "Name" talent is one of the factors hurting this show. Holt McCallany is fantastic in this show, but I don't think the average person knows who he is.
Yeah it sucked to see the reporter lose his job. He seemed to be on Lights side most of the time. With about 1/2 the season completed, I have to wonder if the plan is to have Lights fight Morales and then maybe the season finale have the big rematch with Death Row. :thumbsup: Love Reg E. Cathey as Barry. He's a less obnoxious version of Don King. The press conference for Lights and Morales' fight was great. |
Re: Lights Out -- "Combinations" -- 2/15/11
No way Morales will throw a fight -- but overtraining him is a good thought.
I'm soooo entirely sick of Lights' wife. Can you move past it beeeyotch? He does everything for you and you continue to shit on him. |
