The Morning After: Any Port in a Storm

I’m not sure when or if I’ll have a chance to blog much of this weekend’s TV—Breaking Bad, Dollhouse, In Treatment, the United States of Tara finale—so consider this an open thread in the meantime. I also wanted to put in a word for Kings, whose episode last night was the first I hadn’t been sent in advance by NBC. Though the ratings make the chance of a second season look pretty remote, I don’t want to forget this show while it’s still on the air. While it still has the same weaknesses, like the dialogue, which is distractingly stagey in the mouths of most cast members who are not Ian McShane, the showdown over Port Prosperity put some more flesh on the alternative world that Kings has created (and made the show’s Middle East parallels that much stronger). Are you sticking with it?
