I thought about making this for awhile decided to act on it this time.
Last TV show I watched was Courage The Cowardly Dog episode, The Mask. It was one of my favorites maybe my all time favorite I just find it a bit touching, the ending made my eyes tear up this time.
Battlestar Galactica- Season 4- Revelations & Sometimes A Great Notion
The two most depressing episodes of any show I've ever seen by far. I'm tempted to say ever, because honestly, I can't picture a situation worse than this for every character in a show.
Samurai Jack - The Princess and the Bounty Hunters.
High art.
The Sopranos - Season 5 - Unidentified Black Males
I'm bending over backwards tryin' to stay neutral, and you're out there like a f**kin' free agent!
Doctor Who - Series 5 - The Big Bang
Nice episode, with the Pandorica and the restoration of the universe and what not. Dalek screaming mercy? Utter stupidity.
Doctor Who series 1: Dalek
Great episode.
...aaaahh....back when Doctor Who was good.
I can't get why people liked series 5 more than the first 4.

Mianly because no one can understand your arguments. The series 5 finale was easily the best one since the first! New Earth, Smith and Jones and Partners in Crime can't compare to The Eleventh Hour. Don't get me started on the Christmas specials.

The finale was great. But I just feel that all the episodes lack the quality that led the the excitement and suspense that many of the previous ones had.
The season 5 Dalek episode sucked balls. But the concept behind it was superb.
Also, the original weeping angels episode was 500 million times better than the season 5 one.
My whole family doesn't like series 5.
Try Battlestar Galactica. Four complete seasons of sheer perfection, ending on it's own terms.

I finally finished Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Sweet almighty Jesus! I've read about how epic this anime is but I am still in shock! All I can say is this series broke and ignored both logic and the laws of physics so many times in so many different ways it was awesome, I can literally never look at mechs and/or robots the same way again, honestly the action scenes in some movies I've seen feel so pathetically minuscule, insignificant and boring compared to some of the shit that I saw in this. Couple that with likable characters and a good story and I am truly 100% entertained. I'm going to have to re watch it again sometime soon.
10/10
After this I'm going to try re watch The Walking Dead eventually.

Tank top I think. It never really shows though, but if it was anything, it'd be a tank top. She was encased in that thing for the whole episode pretty much.

But I think it's decent. They chose to go for a really young actor to play Arthur. Not much of a fan of him. Joseph Fiennes who plays Merlin does an awesome job. It has some supernatural elements to it as well. If I were to rate it based on both episodes I'd give it a 7/10.

That's one more reason to see it for me, I really like him as an actor.
I think I'll give this a shot. :)
Firefly: Objects in Space
I thought this was a pretty good episode. Not the best one, but it kept me interested throughout, and it was tense. I really liked Early, in a Boba Fett sorta way. But yeah, as a finale for the season, let alone the series, it just didn't cut it. Lookin' forward to Serenity, though.

Supernatural - My Heart Will Go On (S06E17)Balthazar, the angel, traveled back in time and saved Titanic from hitting the iceberg. His motivation for doing this? He hated the James Cameron movie and
My Heart Will Go On. Changing history wasn't the best thing to do though, because now Fate is killing off the descendants to the survivors in
Final Destination style. :laugh:
Spoiler
A whole lot of other "small" things were changed as well, like Jo and Ellen being alive, and Dean not driving an Impala anymore.
Turns out Balthazar reasons for saving Titanic wasn't quite that simple though. He was acting on orders from Castiel, who actually planned for the survivor's descendants (around 50.000 of them or so) to be killed off by Fate, so that he could use their souls in the war.
Definitely a interesting episode. :)

Game of Thrones. Dat opening - shades 'o Predator. Cool shit in Greyfilterland.
SGU, some one with minds floating around and a kidney transplant, was an awesome episode, makes me really sad it got cancelled!! why!!?
Firefly: Out of Gas
Talk about great storytelling. Definitely my favorite episode so far.
Game of Thrones
I really enjoyed this. The production values and sets/locations seem high above Camelot. The premiere started off interesting enough - with a humanoid wolf creature decapitating someones head. So it's a clear indication that the show has its foot rooted in fantasy. And much like Camelot the show has its fair share of naked women drifting in and out of scenes.
But what I really like about the show is it's star power. Camelot has maybe two actors at best that I recognize, but Game of Thrones has a great cast; Sean Bean, Mark Addy, Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage and Jason Momoa.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.
Sounds great, I'm a fan of both Sean Bean and Lena Headey, so I'll give it a try. :)

You can't say it didn't leave you hanging for next season, misfits is like heroes if heroes was actually good IMHO.
Heroes
was good it just went on for too long, and I'd hate if that happened to Misfits.
Spoiler
I just didn't like the idea of being able to trade powers for money or buy new powers, as Simon said "they got them for reasons". But by far my favorite episode of that season had to be the one with Nathan's brother I never saw that ending coming although they do kill off a hell of a lot of good characters in that show.
Firefly: Ariel
Really great episode, from the intense opening scene with River and Jayne, to the awesome hospital heist (Including probably the most disgusting scene I've ever seen in a TV show), to the very emotional final moments. I absolutely loved it.
"The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face."
Firefly: War Stories
I loved getting to know Wash more. He definitely is a really likable guy. This episode gave me a greater appreciation of the characters. I love it. Also, Book has to be one of my favorite characters. I definitely find myself relating to him (and Simon, too).
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Can't believe I only have 4 episodes and Serenity left. I'm going to miss this show.

Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe
This was pretty enjoyable. Set in 2005 before Sam got sent to Miami, it has him going to South America trying to defeat a group of rebels, but he ends up joining them. It's nice to see Campbell as the center piece of movie once again. And damn I enjoyed those Evil Dead references. :)
Game of Thrones - Now this was a great show. It looked great, felt very serious and had some solid acting. I especially liked Sean Bean and the little guy (the midget, can't remember his name) and Jason Momoa did a good job as well. I couldn't help but to think that he'll make a great Conan while watching this. My only complaint is that there are so many characters that it's hard to keep track of everybody and remember their names. I guess it will take a couple of more episodes before that gets any easier.
Anyhow, the show had a great opening, very creepy. I also loved the opening credits and the music they played. The ending was pretty good as well, can't wait to see what happens next epsiode. :)
When I seen Momoa on screen, Conan kept coming to mind as well. I'll look forward to more of this show. :)
Deadwood Season 2 Finale
This episode was great. So much shit that was set up throughout the season just came to a head in this episode, and it was fun to watch. It was intense, wrenching, and funny. Goddamn, I love the characters in this show, even the ones I hate. I highly recommend checking this show out.

Firefly: Trash
Well, the return of a special someone was a nice surprise. I really liked how the whole situation turned out by the end of the episode. Fitting.
But my favorite part of the episode was probably the side story with Simon, River and Jayne. I kind of figured that that plot point would be forgotten, but was happy to see it return.
Three episodes and the movie to go!
EDIT: Also, River's last statement to Jayne...the one about her brain. I take it that that is a huge set up. I'm certainly intrigued.
Firefly: The Message
Well that was a surprise. All I really have to say is, with characterization like this, its really such a shame that this show was canceled. Also, I love Jayne's hat :D
Two more episodes and Serenity to go now. Unfortunately, I think I read online two characters that die in Serenity :'( I hope knowing this doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the movie. It certainly hasn't taken anything away from the series. Still, I would have preferred a surprise. At least I don't know how or when it happens.

I was looking up the comics I think, to see if they were worth getting. I read the synopsis of one of them, and it gave away character A. An interview with a cast member gave away B. I guess the shock of the deaths won't be there, but I know for a fact the emotion will. I love these characters. At least, while watching the series, for whatever reason those thoughts seem to exit my mind. Its almost like I'm trapped within the show, experiencing everything with the characters. Like I know nothing. I hope the same happens during the movie.
And Sticks, your sister is aweosme!
But something bad happened with my Firefly set :'( I went to watch episode 13, Heart of Gold, and the disc skips. I can't even make it past the opening scene before the opening theme :( I hope I will be able to exchange it, but I think its over a month old and I don't have the receipt.

I know how you feel, I once watched BSG Season 1... [big long pause as I sat there, covered in blood and shock] and half of Season 2 in one day, and when I stopped watching at around 11:30 PM, I was dizzy as hell. Like, I felt by stopping the show, I had entered a foreign world where that stuff wasn't real. It was
strange, man.

Firefly: Heart of Gold
In general, it was probably my least favorite episode (not that it was bad, but there is some really tough competition). Still, I really liked the short conversation between Wash and Zoe about
Spoiler
having a baby
, and that conversation at the end between Mal and Inara. I actually had to watch the ending twice, it was that good, the way the dialogue was handled and everything.
Now I just have the season finale Objects in Space and the movie Serenity. I can't wait to see how everything ends, but I need more Firefly. I'm not ready to let the series go yet :(
Doctor Who.
Maximum. Po-ten-tial. This show went into overdrive when Moffat took the reigns - they're using the premise in ways no one has had the guts to in the past, and it's wonderful.
They also put in a dedication to Elisabeth Sladen, which was just right of them.
Fringe. Oh dear, things are getting serious.
Decided to check out Fooly Cooly on adult swim (FLCL for those that watch anime). Oh my god this show is as if crack, weed, any hallucenagetic drugs, and over the topness had a baby and I loved every second of what I saw. Found out on wikipedia it's only six episodes, I could watch it all on youtube for all I care which I'll probably do later today ;D
You have inspired me to enjoy the 'Fooly Cooly' too. ;D

Just stay out of the Mens Room (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-305553/Ramsay-feels-heat-indecency-charge.html)!
Head some free time before being with the family for Easter, so I watched the last episode of Firefly: Objects in Space. And only now, as I'm writing this, did I realize where the title came from :)
Anyways, I really liked the episode. The Slave-1 looking ship was a really cool touch, and the bounty hunter was really...scary.
Spoiler
I was actually afraid for Kaylee
. The whole plot point where River
Spoiler
"becomes Serenity"
was confusing at first, but ended up making a lot of sense and was really cool. I loved her comment about
Spoiler
having to keep watch over her brother ;D The surgery scene at the end as nice too.
. I wish they expanded a little more on Mal and Inara's conversation from the last episode, but it makes sense that with these events happening they wouldn't be able to. I guess Serenity will address that, or it will already be resolved by then.
I can't believe the series is over. Just goes to show how the studios never really know what they have on their hands. The same thing happened to Tremors with the airing out of order and subsequent death of the show :( Makes me happy that AMC has The Walking Dead, as they at least understand how to run a show, despite being primarily a movie channel. The Walking Dead is even in the correct order!
So now that Firefly is done, I would have to say that my top five episodes would be:
5.) War Stories
4.) Objects in Space
3.) Jaynestown
2.) Ariel
1.) Out of Gas
Really great series, and not a single bad episode. Sure, some are better than others, but that's to be expected.
I really, really can't wait to see Serenity! I hope I get to watch it tomorrow ;D

Sadly, that isn't something they mention in
Serenity. Personally, I always though he could have been an former Operative (you know what I mean once you've seen
Serenity), but that was debunked in the comic book
The Shepherd's Tale, where we get to see his early life and what he did before he became a preacher. :)
Does the comic answer that question specifically?
I personally think that
Spoiler
he is a preacher, no doubt about that, but he was trained on the side, maybe in case something should ever happen to him or his group. It makes sense, because in the show he is reluctant to fight, but will do it if he has to in order to protect himself or the crew, or even all the women in Heart of Gold.

Oh, he definitely is a preacher, but that's not all he is. He was also a spy for the Browncoats, sabotaging the Alliance military operations during the war from the inside. In his younger days he was also a street criminal.
You should check out the comic some day, it's pretty good (but a bit short).
It's all lies.

He's a Companion.

I do like this show. Quite a bit. The story is interesting, the science is dubious, and the characters are great. What more could you want? Wait, did I just see...
HOLY SHIT, MARK SHEPPARD! Romo FRAKKIN' Lampkin is in this! ;D
Game of Thrones. Too much exposition, not enough snow zombie violence. Good stuff anyway, it'll tide me over until the next Doctor Who episode.

I'd forgotten how awesome Samurai Jack used to be. Wish Cartoon Network would stop jerking around and go back to showing one of their older series. I'm probably going to try to re watch FLCL today in order to try to make some more sense out of what I watched on Sunday.

Firefly: Out of Gas
I already posted mini reviews of most of the episodes, so I haven't been mentioning any of the episodes during my second rewatch, but man, this episode is one of the best things I've seen on TV, and better than a lot of the stuff I see in movies. Beautifully shot and edited, perfectly acted, and a very touching story told in a very unique way. Without a doubt my favorite episode of Firefly.

John Hurt does a pretty damn good Woundwort, but I'll probably be leaving the TV series unless i get bored sometime later.
The main problem here is I keep asking myself "When will they go for the balls?"
I'll stick with the movie for my fix of badass bunnies.
The Shield Season 3. Well a few of the episodes at least.

Doctor Who and the Silurians
The best classic Who serials tend to be the ones with great stories, or those that don't skimp on the monster action. This is something of a combination. We get our dated 70s alien treat with the very well realised reptillian Silurians (as well as a larger dinosaur-esque creature that looks a bit silly), but there's also a plot here that delves into some serious issues.
The big problem facing the third Doctor is whether or not he can convince the humans and Silurians (who have already been here for millions of years, hibernating underground) to co-exist in harmony. Naturally, things go awry on both sides, with a power struggle below ground resulting in a deadly disease being unleashed on mankind; while above the surface, the Brigadier shows his darker, militaristic side and decides to take drastic action.
And as you might expect, it doesn't end too well.
Chuck- Season Finale
It was glorious. :'(
The Last Super (Doc)
No it has nothing to do with the biblical event it has to do with the history of serving a death row inmate his last meal of his choosing before he dies. I found it very cool and a bit odd some people choose the simplest things and some choose the most complex things they can ask for.
I wouldn't eat it all but what I would want for my last meal is
Filet Mignon ( Medium rare)
Lobster tail
Shrimp with a garlic butter sauce
And for desert
Red velvet cake

Watched episodes 1 & 2 of Season 1 back to back. F**king A' this is an amazing show.
The production design is top notch. Sterling-Cooper is sexiest man-driven agency filled with misogynistic bunch of characters. They really pull out all the stops to make the viewer feel like they're in the 60's.
Don Draper played wonderfully by John Hamm is terrific. He crafts a character that's no angel. He participates in infidelity while at the same time tries to bury his past or the secret he's hiding.

I'm about two episodes in to Season 3. Just wait til' the last couple episodes of Season 2, it's amazing. I'm hoping for more of Sterling in this season though, that's what 2 seemed to be lacking a bit of.
Season 1 has been great so far. It's been balancing story arcs between Don & Peter Campbell. Everyone else is there but only in moderation.

Just watched the episode in which Don fired Pete, and Sterling saved his ass.
I should get around to seeing that show. Maybe AMC will do repeats some time :)

True that, there's no character development in the film Serenity it expects you are already a fan of the show, which is why I'm sure many in the theatre were scratching their heads as to what was going on.

Wat.
I saw the film first and thats why I went back and watched the series because I loved the characters and wanted to see more. I thought the film did a good job of introducing the characters to audiences not familiar with the series. I saw it twice before I even knew there was a series and I never got the sense I was missing anything at all.

I preferred not seeing the Reapers. Made them way more creepy.
I also loved seeing the war. When I first started the first episode, I immediately thought "This is what Terminator Salvation should have looked like". As for the Reavers, I liked having them as a mystery. I would have been fine waiting to see them in season 2 of the show, had it not been canceled and the movie never made. The movie is basically season 2 of the seven season plan that Whedon had. I watched a few episodes with commentary. Really cool stuff :)
I was actually about to watch the movie again just now, because I noticed that it skips a bit in a scene, and if it does again, I want to exchange it. Plus, it gives me another excuse to see it :)

Damn this was a good episode. Don's past comes to the forefront once again. With his step Brother Adam showing up and calling him by his real name. The ending to this episode was tense as hell. The way it was shot, and edited made it seem like Don was going to pull out a gun and shoot Adam, erasing all traces to his past. But he does something else, much more generous. Showing he still cares for Adam. Damn good episode nonetheless.

Let me rephrase that. I wish they'd done
more with the Reavers. They were only in two episodes. Not show them out-and-out, not get rid of all the mystery, just have them present.
I'm sure we'll see a lot of expansion on the Reavers in season two.

Yeah, definitely, considering Serenity was basically season 2, minus some plot points that Whedon couldn't fit into a movie. I wonder if Whedon has the outlines for seasons 3-7?

Believe me, I'm not really a comic fan either, and I loved them. But if you're not interested, then you're not interested. Still have season 2 to look forward to :)

If by 'odd' you mean 'flipping righteous', I agree. If I remember correctly it's on one of the Blu-Ray extras where Whedon, Fillion and a few other cast members have breakfast - they also act out a theoretical episode, it's worth the watch.
Might have been a commentary actually.

Well, except in Shindig, Safe, and the Message. But still. :P
Cow DNA was going to be packaged and then rebuilt into actual cows upon reaching the colonies, to save space and food supplies. But something goes wrong with the DNA and the cloned cows become terrifying monsters.

The Walking Dead.
Just had a lazy afternoon and watched the entire series. Very, very good indeed. Had me choked at the end.
Agreed. I loved it, and am desperately awaiting season 2. I've never had a chance to looks forward to a second season of a show before.

Im really not. They probably are great and theres a whole world of comics and graphic novels that i'd probably love but I have enough trouble trying to squeeze in time for my main pastimes of music, films, gaming, the odd tv show and books. Im just not interested enough to bother now, I havnt for 25 years so im sure i can deal with it.

Awesome. Hopefully the commentary is on the Firefly DVD, and not just the Blu Ray (I think the BLu Ray has 2 more than the DVD). I'm actually in the process of watching the commentaries on the show and my Blu ray of the movie now, so hopefully that's one of them.
The Killing.
Shit's growing on me.
Gotta watch some of that.
My cousin was in an episode or two, I believe.

Miami Vice: 'Golden Triangle'
While working undercover as pimps/security guards at a hotel, Crockett and Tubbs open a can of worms and discover that an old enemy of Castillo's is now residing in Miami. And when it turns out Castillo's long-thought dead wife has been brought along to ensure that the Lieutenant takes no action, things get personal.
Which means Edward James Olmos gets almost an entire episode to intensely glare at walls with his hands in his pockets.
Gettysburg
Produced by both Ridley and Tony Scott, this was a excellent in-depth documentary about, perhaps the Civil War's most bloody battle. It was a turning point for the Civil War as well as American history, not without a price, over 50,000 casualties from both the Union and Confederacy combined.
The program featured some great narrations, computer imagery of the battlefield and some excellent reenactments from the battle. Those interested in the Civil War or American history, I highly recommend this.

Yeah your spot on, although i do enjoy watching them get into fights. absolute f**kwits.
Alot of the fights arent even real. Theyre set up in the bars they go to and any people in the bar who get filmed get asked to sign a contract to say they are willing to appear on the show. Luckily the kind of places they'd go out and drink are the exact same ones I would make a point of avoiding anyway. Id tell them to f**k off i bumped into one of them on a night out.
yeah the whole thing looks very staged in general, i mean there's not much to expect from a derivative of jersey shore is there.

Hetalia: World SeriesI finished Axis Powers awhile ago so I might as well get to World Series, it's a fun little anime each episode running around 5 minutes. Countries are portrayed as characters and it goes threw a few moments in history in a very funny way. If you like comedy and history its quite fun just look it up on Youtube also don't watch it in English the voices are horrible. To those who are curious.

Gundam Wing
I'm having a nostalgia overload.
I finally finished the remaining episodes of Mad Men Season One. And it was an amazing experience. It's like stepping into a time machine and emerging in 60's; where sexual harassment and womanizing where a common thing in the work place. The production designs of this show continue to amaze me.
The cast of course is excellent. John Hamm as Don Draper is one of the most enigmatic characters on the show. His best friend (and drinking buddy) Roger Sterling played by John Slattery is another great character. I found Peggy Olson to be more of annoying bitch as the season went on...and continued to dislike her (hey I have something in common with Peter Campbell!). Christina Hendricks who plays Joan is downright gorgeous.
There are some really great episodes that stick out in my mind. One of them being Nixon vs. Kennedy in which the entire office gets downright drunk, but also Don's mysterious origin regarding his "name" is revealed.
Excellent show.

Chris Lilleys latest spoof documentary. Only saw the first episode and I dont think it was as good as Summer Heights High but it was laughing all the way through.
Ive never seen We Could Be Heroes and ive just ordered it online so I cant wait for that.
WCB better than SHH, angry boys has its moments, it's a little flat at times though.
Deadliest Warrior just came on Netflix instant watch. It's a very entertaining show, even if some of the battle results are kind of questionable to me. They do a good attempt at pitting the two warriors, and its great watching them test all of the weapons and discuss tactics.
What's not great is virtually every episode has the sides representing each warrior end up in several bitching matches as they try to make the other team's warrior seem weak. It usually ends up with each side quibbling with the other like children. I mean, I like the friendly competition, but why you gotta be a dick? You know it's not real, right dudes? :-\
The only guy I've liked so far was the former Green Beret that they to represent the Spartans. He was cool, and had enough social tact to engage in friendly rivalries while not becoming disrespectful, hot-tempered, and childish.

started watching sanctuary again, i kind of stopped during the mid-season break, but i've started again now. so. yeah.
What do you think about it? I liked a lot the episodes I had the chance to see.
the first episode of sanctuary after the mid season break? it was alright, i had to suspend disbelief a lot though mostly about how you can cut the flesh of a creature that lives in magma, with a pocket laser scalpel, even if it is really advanced, magma is really hot, i'd expect the creature to be pretty heat proof :-\

Damn its good. Very, very funny and definately the best of Chris Lilley's three mockumentary series so far.
Angry Boys has been hit and miss so far and Summer Heights High was excellent but this I'd highly recommend. Especially if you like either of his other two shows.
People in the UK might not have ever seen it (like myself) because it was never aired here unlike SHH and AB. I only found out about it when I went to buy SHH on DVD and it came with it in a boxset.

Dexter- Season 1, Episode 7 "Circle of Friends"
Truly, one of the greatest endings I have ever seen on a show that wasn't a finale. It's so totally unpredictable, and at that point it really has you sold that this guy was, disappointingly, the Ice Truck Killer, but then when the doubtfully depresessed Dexter addresses Perry to discover why he had done all of these personal things to him with a simple "Hi", in return Perry impatiently asks "...Who the f**k are you?"
...

My friend is still out there; and he's not a disappointment...
Hilarious, fun, and personally inspiring bit of writing in that scene and how that whole scenario played out in general. I honestly rewound the DVD multiple times to see if I could keep from that massive grin that ALWAYS creeps up my face at that part, but is can't. I just can't. The show is f**king delicious.

It's a new anime being shown on Adult Swim, the first episode was pretty cool it kind of reminded my of the DMC anime. Lets just hope it's better and lasts more than twelve episodes. ;)

The fifth opening is depressing, theres zombie puppets eating everyone, Ed makes hilarious facial expressions while trying to open a door, Alphonse is pissed, Pride is still a dick, Kimblee's a badass, and Envy's back.
Fooly Cooly
When the final episode is called FLCLimax you bet your ass it's going to be a climax, especially when a character (intentionally or unintentionally) breaks the fourth wall to tell you. Also if you like anime and still haven't seen this then shame on you. :P

Boardwalk Empire - Pilot
HBO has started to re-air all of season one and I plan on experiencing this intoxicating story again. Things kicked off with everyone getting drunk out of their f**king minds because the government outlawed alcohol and prohibition was to kick in later that night. So, what does half of Atlantic City do? Get shit-faced of course. Whilst at the same time Nucky Thompson played by Steve Buscemi is harboring a plan to keep alcohol within the city and sell it illegally of course.
This means, making the right "connections" with mobsters like Johnny Torrio, Lucky Luciano and meeting a young up-and-coming Al Capone.
On the flip side of things, the government issues law enforcement personal to keep tabs on Nucky and his mob fellows. The primary focus on agent Nelson Van Alden played by Michael Shannon.
It all comes together beautifully. The acting, the sets, and the attention to detail all breath life into a era long gone.
Finished season four.

Season 5 is basically just a deep seep of defeat and Dexpression. And how the kids react make it all the worse-- they, the writers, certainly don't hold back. They also don't try to top Trinity, though as every season needs, there is a villain; multiple villains actually. I found the ending to be disappointing with it's absolute abruptly abolished antagonist and suddenly solved situation, but it was necessary for Season 6 to get everything back on track; helping the show in the long run. Hard to explain without giving a lot away, but the season is basically dealing with backlash, and bridging the show and Dexter (more tragically...) back into it's normal (oh god, catharsis never works for dearly dream-dashed Dexter ;-;) state. There are some great new characters and some rage-filled moments of tragedy/badassery from Dex.
Carry on, my compadre. And fhanks fer givin' the show a chance. >:3

Just watched the first four episodes of Stargate Universe. This show is great and apart from a occasional cameo, it doesn't even feel like it take place in the same universe as SG-1 and Atlantis. The atmosphere, the ship, the music and the casting are all great. Robert Carlyle as Rush is just fantastic, a very intense guy. And then we have Greer. I'm really torn when it comes to this guy. It's really easy to hate him, he seems to always be looking for trouble and comes of as very threatening, but some of his actions really redeem him. A very well written character, when you're not sure how to feel about him.
In my opinion, this show is on a whole different level than the rest of the Stargate shows. :)
I agree Laufey that SGU ain't bad at all, actually I loved the fact they created full set they created rather than go the cheap route of shows like V and just CG everything. You'll soon notice however that whilst the characters themselves have arcs, the plot starts to thin out after two seasons, probably the reason for lower ratings and the subsequent cancellation.
I still enjoyed it though.
Oh and I've finally finished Chuck for real this time ;D

Headhunters was definitely worth the watch. I really liked Midnight and The Return, too, but Headhunters was my favorite. But from what I saw of Mona Lisa, that was amazing as well.
They better do Human Weakness.
And these better come out on DVD.
Sanctuary

same, i saw the Normandy one, they should do more historical episodes, it was awesome!
I watched a few Halo Legends episodes. I don't mind the series as much as some people do. Sure, a lot of it is exaggerated and overly anime influenced (Japanese Elites, Spartans with long hair, the prototype suit, Halsey's age, etc.), but the stories being told are pretty good. Exaggerated a bit, but good. I really love Homecoming.
SGU Season 2 episode 1 and 2, so far I have no idea why this show was cancelled and Rush is still the best character by far! ;D
SGU - Time. Shocking and brutal would be my first words. Great episode, even though I'd watched parts of it before.
American Dad - Nearly seen every episode, and I love it. It cracks me up.
Highschool of the Dead Episodes 8 and 9
The boob matrix scene is still one of the greatest and funniest things I've ever seen in any form of animation, aside from the bitch slap in the first episode, the bridge battle in the fifth, the shower scene in the sixth, and other scenes, that little matrix parody steals the whole show. Going to watch the last 3 episodes tomorrow, and try to find the OVA again.
From seeing recommendations here I watched ep 1 of Dexter this morning.

The Buttscratcher episode ;D
Deadliest Warrior
Spartan vs Ninja.
Highschool of the Dead Episodes 10, 11, and 12These last three episodes can best be described as this series' version of the second half of
The Walking Dead, the show kind of slows down in the action after episodes 7-9 which were action packed through out. The fan service also goes down a notch going back to 10 instead of 11. Episode 12 decides to get back to the action by the last 10 minutes, which was welcomed after 2 1/2 breather episodes. I'm heavily anticipating season 2, especially after the last shot in episode 12 which will put a huge smile on the face of any zombie movie fanatic. If you read the Manga beforehand it won't surprise you (like me) however if you're watching the anime for the first time it will as said earlier put a smile on your face, and if you haven't figured it out here it is in plain English.
Spoiler
They're heading to a mall, what zombie movie(s) take place at a mall? ;D ;)

Dexter
Blood. Sometimes it sets my teeth on edge, other times it helps me control the chaos.
"Dexter"
"Crocodile"
"Popping Cherry"
So, I picked up season one of Dexter after all the recommendations, gifs and memes, etc. and suffice to say, I blew through the first three episodes and it's bloody brilliant, pun in-f**king-tended. Michael C. Hall is just down right creepy and deliciously intoxicating as Dexter. I am really enjoying the whole Ice Truck Killer story arc; been great so far. And Angel is totally badass.
First he throws a severed head at me, then he leaves me these doll parts, like pieces of a puzzle. I like puzzles. But there's nothing more frustrating than putting together a puzzle and finding that it still doesn't make sense.

'Twas intense. Although the way I saw it Weller was basically the next in a long line of Doakes surrogates. The show has been weaker ever since they did away with Doakey because you don't have anyone left who's genuinely appalled with what Dexter does - at this point Dexter himself is the only one who tries to verbally remind we the audience that he's supposed to be an inhuman monster. And after the portrait of all hell that was Trinity, those reminders pale by comparison.
Still a great show. Looking forward to following along with you guys once it starts up again.
I really hope Deb finds out. Early on.
Spoiler
I miss my Doakesy-wokesy. :'(
I miss my surprise mothaf**ka sweary Larry.
And I agree on all points; especially the one about Deb finding out. One of the showrunners said that Season 5's little moment with her, Dex, and Lumen was the last time they would 'dangle' Deb finding out, so that sounds promising.

Torchwood: Miracle Day
Though the Torchwood brand began in the UK, Miracle Day is the newest show to premiere on Starz. I was a bit lost at first as to who these characters were, and their backstories, but they do a nice job of bringing everyone up to speed about what's going on and who everyone is.
Fox 4 News :)
started watching the Us version of Being human, so far, so almost exactly the same. i'm interested in how it diverges though, because Josh's sister is already a brand new character,
Started Dexter season 2 now, one hellova show so far.
The new Voltron. IDK. I like what they did with Keith's character, thought he was kind of a pansy in the original. Good that they stepped up Lotor to King, which was due. Other than that, eh :-\

Jesus Christ, I think Circle of Friends may be my favorite episode so far. All the build up to the Ice Truck Killer and the arrest of Neil Perry was great.

It's a pretty good show, I'm playing through the mass effect series right now, and it's really apparent that it owes bablyon 5 heaps, it gets really compelling when the shadows start to show up.
Finished the final 3 episodes of Deadwood.
f**king great television, but you've gotta be f**king kidding me. They ended the series there. There! There was no resolution! f**king HBO. Why would they cancel it? They better not f**king do that with Game of Thrones.
Blasting my way through Mad Men Season Two. Just four episodes left and then it's on to Dexter.
Damn this is some great television. The writing is incredible, and the season really hit its high point with Betty Draper finding out Don's been sleeping with Bobbie Barret. And it was f**king great to see Don give Jimmy a punch right in his obnoxious mouth.
Been watching Battlestar Galactica. Only 3 episodes left of Season 4 then it's all over (best show I've ever watched). ;D

Some good ol crime dramas.
Law and Order
Law and Order SVU
CSI NY
Babylon 5: Mind War
This was definitely my favourite episode so far. It dealt with some of my favourite aspects of science fiction, and went into territory covered by 2001. Sent chills down my spine, and truly--
Wait, was that...? No, it couldn't... Oh my god, it was. Walter Koenig was in this episode. Motherf**king Chekov was in this thing! f**k, I love this show. ;D
Deadliest Warrior. Ivan the Terrible vs Hernan Cortes
Then I watched Storage Wars.
CSI Miami Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
Lots of Dexter...
It's Alive!
Waiting To Exhale
An Inconvenient Lie
See-Through
The Dark Defender
Damn, The Dark Defender may be my next favorite episode next to Circle of Friends. When Dex entered the bar draped in red lighting with Gimme Shelter playing was badass! And it was great to finally see his emotions rise to the surface when he confronted one of the men responsible for his mother's death.

Yes! Yes! YES! ;D
I love when Dex snaps and his emotions come out; it's always so damn impactful to watch.
And then he always goes right back to saying he has no emotion. :laugh:
Man, Woman, Wild
Survivalist shows aren't normally my thing but this one is the best and I can't wait for session 2!
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
That little arrogant shit Pride got what he deserved.
Durarara
It's still cool but nothing great.
Inuyasha
This show is so good. 8)
Season 2 finale of Being Human UK it was AWESOME ! ;D
Finished up all of Dexter Season Two.

I remember after the she had gotten away, I was just saying "No. No!" over and over.
Then they had that little epilogue.
That was the most satisfying kill of the entire series, I think.
Dinosaur Planet Episode 3 Little Das' Hunt.
Last time I saw this I was 8 or 9. While it's no where near as good as Walking With Dinosaurs it's the best series in the wake of rip offs that tried to cash in on the popularity of WWD. The scream the little Daspletosaurus makes before it dies will forever haunt me though (think Godzilla at the end of Return but with a more terrified tone), it's one of the few times where I've truly felt bad for a CG creature, and volcanic eruption that causes this scene is both pretty spectacular and horrifying.
Breaking Bad- Hermanos
Well. That was the most intense episode yet. That last scene was like going through a long tunnel; I'm still catching my breath.

Just finished it. Jesus Christ, my heart's pounding away in my chest like a bass drum with an insane rhythm.
I'm f**king loving the characterization of Gus lately. He's easily one of my favorite characters.
Same. Giancarlo Esposito is one of the best actors on the show. The sheer intensity of his performance is amazing. I can feel his stare through the screen. And then when he does show emotion (whether faked or genuine) it is completely believable. I love him.
Seriously. I cant look at this guy:

And see... well...
this guy at the same time:

Tonight, seeing him forced down and treated like a dog by the guy that he had killed last season over the phone, and with a smile on his face, was amazing. And Hector too, now Hector is helpless wheelchair bound, mute old bag of bones and Gus is the man in charge.
What I think about Gus is so mixed, even moreso than my feelings for Walt. Gus is just the face of death, but he's also extremely practical and precise. I just can't see anybody in this show getting out of their current situations well, except Jesse of all people... and I truly love that feeling. I think that's one of the things I like most about the show aside from the character ambiguity. This is shaping up to be my favorite season yet.
Another whole week... :(
So I've been rewatching Firefly again, and came to episode 8 today. Out of Gas. Words can not describe how much I loved this episode. Definitely one of the best things I've ever seen come out of TV.

I spent the years of 2003 through 2010 rewatching all the episodes on worn down recordable VHS tapes until the DVDs came out in 2010. I loved getting Burt's anti government, paranoid, gun loving rants on a weekly basis! And I really liked the whole secret lab/mixmaster plot. It felt very Tremros to me, even without involving Graboids. Plus, it brought out a lot more of Burt's anti-government personality :D
And for the Braking Bad fans: It had Dean Norris :D

The thing i liked the most about the show was that it wasn't all about graboids. The mix of old and new monster made it more interesting. Also if they had a graboid based story every episode it would've became repetitive i'm afraid. Shame the show ended so soon :(

Luther - So I just watched the first episode of this and it was f**king amazing. Idris Elba plays a cop, John Luther, who's back at work after having spent a few months on a psychiatric ward (for reasons we're shown at the beginning of the epiode). Right away he's thrown into a case where things aren't as they seem. He also has to deal with his pretty much broken marriage.
This is not a typical crime series where the cops are always the good guys, always do the right things at the end of the day and the bad guys always get caught at the end of each episode. No, this is something different and in my opinion, much better. The acting is great and I was equally impressed by Elba and Ruth Wilson, who plays Alice Morgan.
Very intelligent, very angry. That about sums it up. ;D

All of it.

While this season did have its moments, I felt it wasn't as face-paced or intense as the previous two. The uneasy friendship between Dexter and Miguel was great. The Skinner sort of sat on the backburner for a while so they could focus on Dexter's and Miguel's relationship. But oh my...the finale in the kill room with Miguel's demise was nail-biting.
And Debra I am really starting to dislike her. She comes across as a bit of a whore. Jesus almost as soon as she's done dating and screwing Anton, she starts eyeing up Quinn. Don't find Jennifer Carpenter all that attractive either.

Been a while since I saw the third season, but as far as I can remember, her and Anton's relationship lasts until the fourth. Also, calling her a whore is a bit harsh in my opinion. We'e known from the very beginning that she's lousy at keeping relationships.
Also, without trying to spoil things here, she starts taking things more seriously in the fifth season.

Yeah, her having f**ked up relationships is all part of her character; it's not that she's simply a whore. Her problem is that every guy she's been with (...er, after Rudy) hasn't been able to meet her need for somebody with a paternal vibe to them. That person was Lundy and Lundy left after she didn't go to meet him. Everybody else is sort of a big distraction. I never got the feeling that she actually had created a plan to stay with any of these guys [post-Rudy] except for Lundy. She really goes into how f**ked up she truly is next season in one of the series absolute best scenes.

And Debra I am really starting to dislike her. She comes across as a bit of a whore. Jesus almost as soon as she's done dating and screwing Anton, she starts eyeing up Quinn. Don't find Jennifer Carpenter all that attractive either.
Spoiler
Been a while since I saw the third season, but as far as I can remember, her and Anton's relationship lasts until the fourth. Also, calling her a whore is a bit harsh in my opinion. We'e known from the very beginning that she's lousy at keeping relationships.
Also, without trying to spoil things here, she starts taking things more seriously in the fifth season.
Spoiler
Yeah, her having f**ked up relationships is all part of her character; it's not that she's simply a whore. Her problem is that every guy she's been with (...er, after Rudy) hasn't been able to meet her need for somebody with a paternal vibe to them. That person was Lundy and Lundy left after she didn't go to meet him. Everybody else is sort of a big distraction. I never got the feeling that she actually had created a plan to stay with any of these guys [post-Rudy] except for Lundy. She really goes into how f**ked up she truly is next season in one of the series absolute best scenes.
Nice point- perhaps I was too judgmental but it just came across like she was sleeping with everyone. Of course after the incident with Rudy its understandable to find someone to both protect her and get her life going again.
Luther - Saw the second episode today, where a very extreme cop killer is the villain. John and Alice are starting to develop a very interesting relationship I must say. And hey, Sean Pertwee was in this.
Spoiler
And he didn't die. :o

f**k just happened in this show. One minute it's all just some decent comedy, then some story about being in a gang and never going back, and then a girl being called a slut by three other girls then they all get stabbed.

One of the few anime endings that actually satisfied me.

Dexter Season Four
Spoiler
Lundy :'(
Spoiler
Rita :'(
Spoiler
This was one of the best seasons yet. The Trinity Killer was just incredibly complex and played pitch perfectly by John Lithgow. I think for me, my favorite 'Dexter moment' was during the episode The Hungry Man when Dex grabs Trinity around the neck...drags him to the kitchen and poetically says:
'I should have f**king killed you when I had the chance!'
Seasons two and four are by far my favorites so far.
I know what you mean. I think that 2 is my favourite overall, but 4 packed the most emotional punch, and definitely had the best villain.
Chasers War on Everything- Series 3 5/5
Classic Show.
Castle (Season 4, Episode 2) - A fun episode where Castle and Beckett takes on the masked vigilante known as Lone Vengeance.

*high five*
{High fives back}
One setback, now I want to talk about it for hours on end.
Ive jsut recently got Volumes 3 and 4 of Batman: TAS. Only 1 & 2 are available in the UK and ive had them for a few years but ive now got the whole set after finding out they arent region blocked anyway so they'll work on my PS3 (i use it as my dvd player). I'm going to start a mega marathon at some point in the near future and watch it all. After that I may pick up Batman Beyond as I havnt seen the series but the film was fantastic.
Dexter Season Five
Spoiler
While not as intense as Season Four, this one was still great. I really liked the progression of Lumen as a character as the season progressed. The chemistry between her and Dexter was great. I think my favorite scene may be in the last episode when she tells Dexter, she has to leave. Great moment for both characters.
And damn, Peter Weller aka Robocop is good at playing a sleazeball.
Yeah, really liked Lumen myself. Was hoping that she would stay around after Season 5, but it's probably best of as it is.
Like the avatar by the way. ;)
Spoiler
Lumen's departure was one of the best things that could've happened for Dexter as a character. As you'll see very soon (TOMORROW!) Dexter is becoming the best version of himself possible. He has the humanity he's been gaining season after season, but he's also got that awesome killer instinct back. His ability to balance to two is giving off vibes of perfection and I love it. Already watched the first episode, but I can't wait to watch it again in HD! =D

Currently watching the fourth series of Chuck. Ive got 5 episodes left to go and i'll probably watch a couple of them tonight after work, even though I dont finish until 2am. Im never tired straight after work so i usually watch a film or squeeze in a few hours of gametime before I crash out.
Being Human (US Version) 5/5
Love this show, Werewolves and Vampires have been portrayed perfectly. (especially love the Werewolves)
Also not to take away from the UK version as i have not yet seen it although i believe they are both probably good in their own way.

Just saw the pilot of Being Human...omg, the pilot was great, i loved the actors and i was sooo happy that there were 3 seasons i haven't seen yet. And when i watched the first episode...OMG they changed the cast, holy crap stereotypes incoming! No way...
First two episodes of The Walking Dead. Starting yesterday, I'm watching one a night, leading into season 2's premiere.

Sons of Anarchy - Season 1
Great show with some really good performances. Hunnam, Perlman and Sagal are all great and it's nice to even see some familiar faces. Tommy Flanagan (played Verheiden in AvP) and Johnny Lewis (played Ricky in AvP-R) are both much better here than they were in the AvP movies.
At this point, Bobby is probably my favorite character. Will be interesting to see what happens to him.

You know there is an UK and an US version right ? both with different actors. So you're sure you didn't watch the US version accidentaly. Because the UK version is great and really well acted. Also the Actors where great.
Yeah but in the original UK pilot they had two different actors for Annie and Mitchell I think.
Breaking Bad
halfway through season 3.
I f**king hate myself for never seeing this show before, it cannot be described how good it is.
No words needed, it speaks for itself.
But it is REALLY f**kIN' GOOD.
Sons of Anarchy - Season 2
Even better than the first season and the characters are really growing on me. Tig has taken a big turn for me, I didn't like him at all in the first season, but I find myself intrigued by his character more and more as the show moves along. It was nice to see Jax and Clay putting their shit behind them when the stuff with Gemma was revealed as well. The only character I still don't really care for is Tara.
Great ending for that matter, will be interesting to see where this leads.

Supernatural (S07E07) - This season has been a bit of a disappointment to me, but finally we got a good old ghost story again, which was nice.
Elfen Lied
Wonderful series, have not seen it for years but no doubt one of the better stories for serious anime fans. The voice acting is a bit meh (English) but the story is addicting.
One thing if you plan to watch it remember its rated MA and it has some pretty graphic scenes and story content.

American Horror Story Episodes 3-6
Love this show.
Tremors - Feeding Frenzy - Okay, first time watching this and it was pretty good. Not quite up there with the movies, but more than enough for me to want to see the rest of the show. Burt was, of course, awesome as always. The effects could have been better, but I'm not really complaining about that seeing as how there was probably not a huge budget for this. The story was decent enough and it's nice seeing Perfection as its usual small self. God forbide it would ever turn into "Mellville". Burt should have ended that little turd in the first movie when he had the chance. :laugh:
All in all, this was both funny and exciting. I would rate it 8/10.

I understand that this was a t.v. show so as you said the budget probably was not very high, but I felt the effects could have been improved upon a lot. They used way too much cgi and not enough animatronics. This was also my problem w/ Tremors 3.
Mad Men Season 3
Finished up Mad Men Season 3 and it was overall a great season. The last couple of episodes were particularly good; really enjoyed The Grown-Ups: Episode 12 which had all the characters reacting to the Kennedy assassination in their own way. The last episode was fantastic, at certain moments I feared for these characters futures, but the little idea that Sterling, Cooper, Draper and Price came up with had me cheering them on. And it was fun to watch it progress.
Tremors - Ghost Dance - Another good episode. I was a bit worried at first when they moved away from the Graboid creatures being the villains for this episode, but it turned out to be very well done. It was fun seeing one of Burt's conspiracy theories come to life, wouldn't mind if they did something like that in future episodes as well, as a way to mix things up. Oh, and awesome seeing Christopher Lloyd in this as well. That was a surprise.
I'm definitely enjoying this show so far. :)
Really glad to hear that you are liking the show, Lauf! Yeah, the CGI was not very good (really bad at times, which is sad because of how great the animatronics were in the first, second and fourth movies), but the cast and the stories made it so much fun! And yeah, I feel that they handled the non-Graboid episodes very well, too.
One thing, it seems like you are watching the episodes in the airing order rather than production order (like with Firefly, they screwed up with the order of the episodes on TV, but corrected it for the DVD release). It doesn't make much of a difference which order you see them in, but the Mixmaster stuff in Ghost Dance would have made a bit more sense if you saw Project 4-12 first.

Gah, I hate it when they do that. But thanks for the heads up. :)
I'm guessing this would be the right order then?
Quote1. Feeding Frenzy
2. Shriek and Destroy
3. Blast from the Past
4. Hit and Run
5. Project 4-12
6. Ghost Dance
7. Night of the Shriekers
8. A Little Paranoia Among Friends
9. Flora or Fauna?
10. Graboid Rights
11. Water Hazard
12. The Sounds of Silence
13. The Key
Yep, that's the correct order :)
So as a way to make Project 4-12 fit in the new order they gave it on TV, they filmed an additional (really funny) beginning and ending that made the episode seem like a flashback/story being told to a character that was not introduced to the series until Flora or Fauna in the intended order. So if you end up watching in the intended order now, just know that's why you don't recognize that guy :)
Alright, gonna watch the rest of the episodes in the intended order for sure.
And I'll probably grab the DVD in a few weeks. Any fun extras on it?
Unfortunately, absolutely nothing but the episodes :( Considering they took seven years to release it, I was hoping for at least a "making of" or something like that, but at that point I was just happy to retire my seven year old VHS recordings.

Yes but from what I know the voice actor for Kagome will not come back because of whatever her voice was horrible and annyoing to begin with. And the voice actor who played Sessoumaru has retired (For those who care he also did the voice of Megatron)

Really loving it so far. I'm a big DBZ fan so i was kinda worried about the new soundtrack and the taken out footage. But i have to say it's much better paced now. Soundtrack is good at some points and fine at others. DBZ soundtrack is still better though but still kai's pretty good so far. Only 1 episode i miss in kai and that is the one of gohan developing during piccolo's training. And i'm talking about the dinosaur friend episode ofcourse.

Just getting caught up to it's current state now, and this season is awesome! This show always makes great use of it's season guest stars, and Carrie Anne Moss is very likeable and cool as Gertrude. The show is always so damn addicting when watched in a row, it almost makes me want to skip a week so that I can watch another episode right after it. No other show is pure fun like this...
Mad Men
Finally got around to fininshing Season 3... and that was amazing. Watched from Episode 10-13, and that finale was just "f**k yeah" after "f**k yeah". Sterling, Cooper, Don, and Pryce kicked the company's ass, and the recruiting scenes got me all giddy. They were like the A-team for Christ's sake! One episode in with Season 4 at the moment, and I'm really liking the new office. Also, f**k you, Betty. Self-righteous whore.

Spoiler
I just saw the first episode of this new TV series by J.J. Abrams and it was pretty damn interesting. The story begins in 1963. Two guards arrive at Alcatraz at night, only to discover that every person on the island has mysteriously vanished. Flash forward to present day, where one of the inmates, Jack Sylvane, who disappeared back in 1963 wakes up in one of the cells. In his pocket is a ticket to the ferry off the island, a key and some cash. He soon goes on a killing spree across town, beginning with the former associate warden on Alcatraz. Through a series of flashbacks to 1960, we get to see how Jack was treated back in the prison and how he was warned that "something terrible" was going to happen.
Detective Rebecca Madsen is brought onto the case and enlist the help of Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia), an expert on Alcatraz, once Jack's fingerprints are found on the crime scene. The case is quickly taken over by FBI agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill). We later learn that he and his team have been waiting a long time for the inmates and guards that disappeared to reappear, with Jack being the first. With the help of Detective Madsen and Diego, Jack is caught. At the end of the episode, we see Hauser take him deep into the forest, where a underground facility houses the New Alcatraz.
This was good, but not great. Some minor things kept it back, but nothing that kept me from wanting to see more of this. I really liked the tone on some of the parts, such as the beginning. Very mysterious, almost close to creepy. I just hope this won't suffer from the same drawbacks that Lost did, with mystery after mystery being stacked on each other.

Oh you don't know the the depths of my depravity :) how low I can go, I'm all about trashy tv, yeah it's a really shitty version of the above said shows, now I'm pretty good with accents but in a couple of scenes I was sure they were speaking muppet.
Thundercats, the original series. Got it on DVD for my birthday so it would be rude not to watch them. Actually quite enjoying them despite how corny and repetitive they are. They certainly havent aged well. I cant stop shouting HoOoOoO!
Spartacus Vengeance
It picks up right where Spartacus Blood and Sand left off. Spartacus along with Crixus lead an underground resistance movement to free slaves and wreak havoc on the Roman army. It's going to take some getting used to Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) who took over the role from Andy Whitfield after he passed away. McIntyre seems to have brought a bit more of an edge to the character but he still had some great small moments with Mira (Katrina Law) but I think he'll do fine. So far a strong opening to what's going to be an exciting season.
Sherlock - The Reichenbach Fall
Holy shit, that ending. And that Moriarty. Some mindf**ks in this episode.

HBO has been hyping the hell out of it, and it was a bit of a disappointment.
Good performances by Hoffman and Nolte though.
The River
Anyone else catch this? I thought it was great. An expedition heads to the Amazon to look for a missing adventurer and tv host but what they find reaches the levels of paranormal. It's as if Lost and Paranormal Activity were combined into one show. It was nice to see Thomas Kretschmann appear in this, as a private security contractor. He had some good moments. Hopefully it's not a glorified guest appearance and he makes it through the season.

Brilliant series. Watched the second series on the iplayer a few weeks ago because there was nothing on TV. Definately didnt regret it. Then a few days ago I saw the first series for £5 in ASDA so I picked it up. Didn't think it would be much cop but damn was I wrong. Gonna be a long wait for series 3 though. Apparently they wont be shooting it until late this year so we wont see it until early 2013. Bloody long time to wait to see how Sherlock pulled that one off.
I'm been watching a few TV shows ive never seen before lately, all through my PS3. On Netflix ive recently watched all three series of Arrested Development and it was marvellous. Watched the pilot of Dollhouse too and I think i'll watch a few more episodes to see if I like it. Seems interesting so far and I quite liked Angel, and Firefly was great so I probably will like it.
Portlandia
this show is pretty much my relaxation period for the week.

As I mentioned earlier I've been watching Sherlock (BBC) and the soundtrack is superb. I particularly like the theme from 1:20 onwards in this video. It's even somewhat similar in style to the soundtrack to the RDJ movies although im not sure which was created first, the film or the BBC series and it's probably a coincidence anyway.

I didn't really remember the score from RDJ's Sherlock Holmes when I was watching this, but that was the first thing a friend of mine pointed out when I showed him the first episode of
Sherlock. Nevertheless, it's a great score. :)

In the other season I kinda welcomed the other girls f**king up his chances to score it was jokes, now the two main characters have a house together and the other girls are just in the way all the time and they all want him. Louise and Saito love eachother their gonna get together why are they standing in the way of that.
started watching The Fades, seems pretty good so far.
Comic Book Men
A new show taking place inside Kevin Smith's comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, starring Smith himself as well as the employes of the store. Pretty funny and some really interesting stuff was brought into the shop by people looking to sell. Will definitely be following this.
Aye, that was good wasn't it? Totally wanted that huge Thor poster by Kirby and that Tomb of Dracula issue featuring the first appearance of Blade. It's going to be interesting to see what comes into the shop next episode.
^ I just watched it on YouTube. It was great, really funny and you can tell the guys have a blast working there.
The guy with the Dawn stuff though. Wow, talk about getting your hopes and dreams smashed.
Handcuffs might have been a bit overkill for the stuff he was carrying. :D
He walked in with his wrist handcuffed to the suitcase, I mean it's a movie poster, we're talking about here. Not the first issue of Action Comics.
Or Hitler's brain :laugh:
I just saw the second episode and while it wasn't as good as the first one, there was still some interesting stuff. The lightsaber for example. However, quite a lot of this come of as really staged (Batmobile) and I think it would be more fun if they just showed regular people dropping by with some cool stuff.
Yeah, the Batmobile piece seemed a little sketchy. That guy was all too welcoming to let them joy ride around in it. Have you noticed how they they strategically have all The Walking Dead and Kevin Smith material near the front counter, because that's where the camera is most of the time. :laugh:
I've noticed The Walking Dead stuff, but not not Smith's own work.
Next to the counter there's a DVD rack loaded with Kevin Smith films, and on the wall opposite the counter is a huge Red State poster.

I haven't even watched the show, and the TWD stuff stood out even in the commercials :P
On the other hand, it is owned by Kevin Smith, so it would make sense to promote his material. Also, TWD is a very popular comic, so it's not really that strange if they keep it where people can easily see it.

Red Dwarf Series 3

Sheer brilliance
The latest episode of Spartacus Vengeance. Holy mother of God, Spartacus and his rebels brought down an entire gladiatorial arena, literally! It was also great to see that character of Gannicus again from Gods of the Arena. Quite a few of the politicians met their fate this episode as well. The scene between Glaber and Senator Albinius amidst the rubble was deliciously good. I am really warming up to Glaber's character. So far he's making a fine villain this season. In Blood and Sand, I didn't care all that much for the character because he wasn't around much of the time. But since Batiatus is dead, Glaber is the central thorn in Spartacus' side this season.
How is Andy Whitfield's replacement holding up?

How is Andy Whitfield's replacement holding up?
I quite like him; he's doing a fine job so far. But where Whitfield was able to bring and hone in a softer side of Spartacus, Mcintyre isn't able to capture the more quiet or humble sides that well. His interpretation seems to have a bit more of an 'edge' than what Whitfield had brought to the role.
Edit: Watched the latest episode of
The Walking Dead and
Comic Book Men. It was nice to see an episode geared more towards comics again, with whole set of Secret Wars walking in, and that box the one guy brought which had, the first appearance of Wonder Woman, Robin, Superman breaking the chains, Superman behind the American Flag, whilst an eagle perched on his arm, really cool stuff this time around.

I did warn you not to trust me.One of the best moments in the show in my humble opinion.
Just watched the DBZ Bardock special. This whole special just makes Goku's utter curb stomping of Freeza in the series feel so much sweeter and well deserved.
Dollhouse. Iv'e heard alot of good things about this show, but equally i've heard plenty of people say it was crap. I've watched 8 episodes so far and it's pretty good, apart from the fact that alot of the characters and situations seem really, really stupid at times.
I've been watching bits here and there, mostly just before I go to sleep so I havnt been paying that much attention and to be honest it's actually a little bit confusing. I'll stick with it and see where it goes. Theres only 26 episodes in total anyway and ive watched about a third of them.

I've been meaning to check that out. It has a very intriguing premise, I think.
Battlestar Galactica: "The Oath" and "Blood on the Scales"
Oh Jesus Christ, I'd forgotten how much I loved these two episodes. This two parter is one of the best segments in one of the greatest TV shows ever made. The point where the cord finally snapped, where everything that had been building up for seasons finally came tumbling down and into the open, crushing and destroying a few along the way. Goddamn, it's great to watch this again.
Game of Thrones: "Winter is Coming"
The season one premiere episode. Finally rewatched it. The episode that I decided to watch, more or less on a whim, a year ago. The one that got me into this absolutely fantastic series. Everything from the White Walkers to Bran's tumble was just perfectly set up to build both an interest in the show, but also a fantastic sense of dread and foreboding. Winter is Coming, indeed. And I can already tell that it will be long, dark, and terrible.

Game of Thrones (Episode 9 & 10) - Between watching this and reading the novels, I'm more than ready for April to come. Some thoughts; The scene with Jon and Aemon was really well done, some great acting from Peter Vaughan right there. I also noticed something in Arya's last scene. Among the people that are going to the Wall, there are three prisoners in a wagon. One of them was wearing a hood and did not reveal his face. I can only assume that this is supposed to be Jaqen H'ghar and that they didn't reveal his face because they had not yet cast a proper actor for him.

I literally just finished that chapter in
Clash in which Arya meets him, Biter and Rorge outside the tavern in the wagon. It's good so far. Tyrion has arrived at Kings Landing and I am patiently waiting for him to smack Joffrey around. Also, though only in the prologue as of this point, I've taken a liking to Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre. Very cold and intriguing characters, particually Melisandre.
Melisandre is creepy. :'(

Aye, some fantastic stuff walked in that episode. I had a feeling you were going to like those vintage Superman comics. :D
Comic Book Men (S01E04) - This was the best episode since the first one. Everything that was brought into the store was really cool. And for once, there were actually people looking to buy as well! And the zombie make-up looked pretty cool. So far, this show is pretty good. But I must admit that I haven't really taken a liking to Bryan Johnson (the guy with the beard). The rest of the guys are pretty cool though.
The scene in which the couple wanted to buy Uncanny X-Men 1, The Incredible Hulk 180 & 181 had me drooling. Such awesome books.
And I can't figure out the appeal of those Tortured Souls toys. :laugh:

So curiosity got the better of me and I went and started watching the rest of the DBZ Kai episodes online (uncut no less ;D). Words cannot describe how good this shit is. It's easily my favorite dub besides from the Spanish one.
The newest episode of The Walking Dead and Comic Book Men. This episode wasn't as good as the previous ones. The gang hit a garage sale and picked up a nice score of vintage Superman comics among other things. And shame on Mike for hating on The Punisher.

Finally getting caught back up in this. Goddamn, I love this show. I wish I'd watched more of the Tennant stuff, just so I got more of the references, but even so, this is just damn good television.

Mad Men Season Five Premiere
It was great – the gang was back. Roger and his womanizing, Don and his drinking, and Pryce finds himself in a pretty precarious situation regarding a missing wallet. It seemed this episode had some racial undertones running through it. When the show opens it's 1966 and the Civil Rights movement is in full swing. There's one interesting scene involving Pryce in a cab when he finds the wallet – which alludes to his racial insecurity. Regardless, a welcomed return to Madison Avenue after long hiatus.
Started to watch the final season of Chuck. I havn't got the tv channel it airs on in the UK and I just can't wait any longer to see it. It wont get released on DVD until September/October at the very earliest if past releases of the boxsets are anything to go by and I cant wait that long.
Gonna have to stream it, but ive found a decent site for it so im all set. Watched the first two episodes so far and im liking where its going with the rival spy firm headed by Carrie Anne Moss.
When it finally gets released on DVD ill pick it up and watch them all again from the start!

I watch this show once in a while whenever I catch my sister watching it. It's so unintentionally hilarious, that it's a treat to sit and laugh at it.

Doctor Who: "The Waters of Mars"
My Gods... this was fantastic. Only an hour long, yet I cared more for these Martian colonists than I do for most characters in 2+ hour films. Intense as hell, interesting and compelling, and emotionally powerful. I was crying for most of its runtime. This might be my favourite Doctor Who story yet. There was so much insight into the Doctor, as well. It was fantastic to get a glimpse at his darker side, to see him in a different light. Utterly, utterly magnificent piece of television.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series (Episode 1 & 2)
This was surprisingly good. The story was great, these two episodes alone were better than the live action movie. The script was good as well, with some emotional stuff towards the end. The whole thing had a nice sci-fi feel to it, with Hal and Kilowog being sent to the frontier of Oa territory in the fastest ship ever built. Almost sounds like another sci-fi show, doesn't it?
The animation took some time getting used to, but at the end I really liked it. The only time I felt it didn't hold up was on Earth. Thankfully, that didn't last more than a couple of minutes. All the stuff in space and on Oa looked great and the Shard (Red Lantern base) looked amazing.
I would definitely recommend this and I'll gladly check out the rest as well. :)

Finished watching that two days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. At first the animation style took some getting used to but, it worked out in the end, I feel. And the Red Lantern plot line with Atrocitus was better than that god awful movie.

Oh yes. Whenever I can (sometimes I have things to do while it airs, unfortunately). I like how it pays homage to classic horror films, and how its phorography relies a lot on how shadows are cast on the characters. Very peculiar.
It builds up a good tension in each episode, and that's another plus. Like the classic horror films (and literature, there was indirect Lovecraftian influence in this episode) it pays homage to, it's very atmospheric. Not to mention, the main cast is quite good. The chemistry between the two brothers is very interesting.
Oh, and in each episode I see, I associate Jensen Ackles with Garrett Hedlund, so much I always think it's the latter haha.

Now and Then, Here and There
A bastard king, orphans, flying castle-esque buildings, and little girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. It's kind of like a Disney movie...if you ignore the child soldiers, murder, rape, swearing, and implied pedophilia. Still a pretty good anime even if it was the opposite of what I expected. Still I'd give a 7.8/10. Just make sure to watch it on a slow day, even with it's low amount of episodes you may need a breather afterwards.

I was pleasantly surprised to see just how well crafted the characters (with a corresponding excellent acting), the story and the effects are. The score underlines greatly the show as well.
The Skitters are awesome truth to be told, I love how the show uses a mixture of practical and visual effects, using the formers whenever it can. It's a lovely touch.
Two things I don't like: the sounds the Skitters make frequently feature remixed Jurassic Park Velociraptor and T.Rex sounds, and

But I would probably have to say Supernatural. If nothing else there's a lot more to catch up on (seven seasons), compared to Sherlock's six episodes, so you might as well get an early start.

Just finished that for the second time.
HNNNNG...!
TransFormers Prime
Decent, though not my cup of tea.
Episode 9 - Home
One of the best from season one, so far. :)

Is that the episode where John shows up?
Yeah, at the psychic's house.
Doctor Who: The Empty Child and The Doctor dances.
That f**king kid.

But 'dat Captain Jack.
'dat dancing Eccleston. :laugh:
random episode of The Lone Gunmen.
I finish Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. The final episode was awesome and the twist really made me go "What the f**k?!".

Supernatural - Episode 15 "The Benders"
That was some freaky Hills Have Eyes shit right thar. :laugh:
Yeah, I remember that one. It's nice that not all of their cases turn out to be something supernatural. There's at least one more of those that I know of.
I remember it too. More of a pay-off would've been nice, though.
DVR'd and watched both "Game of Thrones" and AMC's "The Killing", late last night. Both were excellent episodes...especially the season finale of GOT.
Well I finally finished the first season of Supernatural and loved just about all of it. There were a few episodes that were misses but for the most part, I thought they all worked in one form or another. I really liked the close, but strained relationship between Dean and Sam, and Sam and John Winchester. Some of my favorite episodes were in fact the ones when John (Jeffery Dean Morgan) would show up to help or guide his sons in a time of need. And I loved the third to last episode, Dead Man's Blood in which the Winchesters retrieve a legendary Colt from a group of vampires.
Please tell me they use that gun in later seasons, Laufey.
I'm glad you liked it. And it only gets better (well, up to a certain point, at least). :)

Nope, it's never mentioned again.

Kidding. :laugh:
It becomes pretty important in the coming seasons. And there's a similar weapon showing up in Season 3.
Sweet, gonna dive into season two as soon as I can. :laugh:
Season 2 is where you'll first meet this guy. ;)

Well, he was revealed to be Gabriel in Season 4, but before that the Winchesters knew him as the Trickster, or Loki. ;)

Chobis
I have not seen this anime before but I remember the time when it was a big fan favorite and fairly new. It's made by Clamp which shocks me to no end because well... it's really good! Finished all 24 episodes in 2 days and will hopefully buy the series later.
10/10
First Blood: On the subject of Supernatural, did they introduce Bobby in the first season, or was that later? It's been a while, so I can't really remember.
Yep, during the second to last episode. But they didn't shed too much light in his character. I take it he's another hunter like John? He didn't seem like his brother.
Yeah, there's no relation between him and John though. But he becomes a very important character in the rest of the show. He's also named after one of the creators of the show, Robert "Bobby" Singer. :D

How odd - I also just watched the final episode of GOT S2 and I thought it was magnificent - one of the best season finales I've seen of any series. The slow sequence with Daenerys inside the tower and emerging out in the icy landscape... just wow.
The new season of Silent Witness is next...

Loveless (anime) - 6/10
Meh all the hype over nothing
I started watching Fringe last night. Took me a while to get into the pilot but it could be decent (I hope).
Doctor Who: The Satan Pit
I love the scattered Lovecraft influences in this show (no, not the Ood). So much. Great episode.
Also poor Ood. :-[
Prometheus, I have to say it was more about watching my mums reactions than the film itself. :laugh:
Teen Wolf
Teen Wolf again. Glad they are bringing in new creatures, very happy about that, and the new creature looks fantastic.
The 1978 animated Godzilla series
One of the crowning moments of my childhood, and I still love it in spite of its flaws.
Dragonball Z Kai
Trying to finish it now, currently watching episode 64 next episode is the last episode of the boxset, and then it's on to boxset 6. ;D
Watching Pawn Stars. Planning a road trip to Las Vegas to see them :)

That two-parter remains my favourite episode (I consider two-parters a single episode). So f**king fantastic.
Scrubs. Easily one of the funniest shows ever to have been broadcast.
Bob's Burgers
good lord this show is hilarious.
Hooked on Fringe.
Doctor Who: "An Unearthly Child"
Was great to watch the episode that started it all. As I viewed it, I was trying to put myself in the place of the British people seeing this for the first time, with no idea they were watching television history being made. I got a peculiar feeling when that theme song started up, and a chill went down my spine when that good ol' Blue Box was first shown. As for the episode itself, it was good setup for the serial to follow, and leaves me wanting to watch more. The writing was good and the acting warn't too shabby (although there were a few awkward moments). I'm loving William Hartnell as the Doctor. This cantankerous old asshole is so much different from the Doctors I know, and it's fantastic.
Doctor Who s2 e12 Army of Ghosts;
Doomsday airs tomorrow!! f**k yes!
The Killing season finale (possibly the series finale). Great acting by all, although it dragged on for too long. I'd rather be vague about what that last sentence means for people that haven't even begun started watching the show, but are planning to. Only thing I will say is that the what I mean by dragging too long isn't a comment on the episode itself.
Will be watching up to episode 8, I believe, of Breaking Bad today.
True Blood S05E02 Not a cliffhanger ending but it's just as good.

Firefly. Underrated, and should have got at least another Season, one of my favourite shows

He gained the ability to see future events before they happen. And also, some of his powers where he's able to slowly move stuff started to manifest, but he hasn't gained full control of that yet.

The Legend of Korra - Episode 2: A Leaf in the Wind
This show... its the most inspiring thing I've started watching in years. Beautiful in every regard, animation so gorgeous and alive it makes me want to cry. The writing and voice work is sublime. I can't even express how much I love this show right now, but just after a few episodes, its easily shot to the peak of my favorite TV shows... ever. Wow. Just... wow.
Oh, and when Korra got graceful at the arena?

First 5 episodes have some ups and downs but after that it gets better ;)
Cowboy Bebop "Asteroid Blues," "Stray Dog Strut," "Honky Tonk Women," "Gateway Shuffle," "Ballad of Fallen Angels," Sympathy for the Devil"
Holy shit. I love this show. Good Christ, I f**king
love this show. A sci-fi space Western tech-noir anime, of course I f**king love it! I had planned on just watching one or two of the Sessions, but once I started, I just couldn't stop. I just kept thinking "one more, one more!", going through to the next episode, starting it up, hearing and seeing that motherf**king awesome intro, before starting in on another half-hour long compact story.
The main draw, I think, are the characters; funny and nuanced, with light sides and dark, both of which get explored throughout the few episodes I've seen. I just love watching these people interact with each other. It's like
Firefly but with less people and a better soundtrack (I'll get to that later). Actually,
Firefly is a fantastic comparison to this. The two shows feel very much of the same vein.
The art and direction is just beautiful; cityscapes reminiscent of
Blade Runner; spacecraft that are rugged or sleek, lived-in or brand new, massive space-cities or tiny celestial canoes; character animations that are fluid and real, while still being stylized and unique; and finally, the action scenes. Good Christ, the action scenes. They're wonderful. It's like something out of a John Woo film; fast a chaotic, yet still easily followed and entertaining as all hell. The standout sequence for me, direction-wise, was in "Ballad of Fallen Angels." A slow montage with no dialogue, many different shots intercut from year apart, yet perfectly conveying a story of friendship turned to hate, completely capturing the emotions of something like that in a brief two-minute clip. Fantastic.
And then, the music. My Gods, the music kicks unparalleled amounts of ass. The theme song is just... I can't describe how badass it truly is. Hell, that song alone was a huge part of me deciding to watch this series, and the music in the sessions themselves is equally as good. Bluesy and jazzy and funky and just generally sex in my ears.
In closing, all I have to say is this:

S01E02 - The Same Old Story

So far, so good. John Noble is fantastic. I never really liked him as Denethor (not really his fault, it had more to do with the way the character was written), but he's simply brilliant in this show. The Arrival was interesting, I've always liked the idea of an "Observer" (something I find interesting in Marvel as well). I just hope this show doesn't become mystery after mystery with no explanation for any of it.

I am eagerly looking forward to making my way through Season Three and then on to Season Four when Castiel is introduced. :)

There will be a lot of interesting stuff going down in Season 3, seeing as how the Demon Gate opened and Dean sold his soul to the Crossroads Demon. Not to mention that two awesome female characters are introduced, Ruby and Bella.
Season 3 is meh.
Season 3, 4 and 5 are my favorites. That's when the mythology gets really interesting, in my opinion.
After 3 yes. SOme episodes in 3 are worth it, but the entire season didn't do anything for me.
Regardless of that, everything else is the shit.
I also noticed it's 16 episodes as opposed to the regular 22 episodes.
Yeah, that might have been made during the writers strike.

Breaking Bad first and second episodes. I just has one question for myself - Why did I wait so long to start watching this show?!
Nobody ever knows.
Luckily, it's one of the shows I caught
right from the beginning.
Deadman Wonderland
Hummingbird is such a bitch.
Casshern Sins
That fight at the middle was f**king awesome, anytime that Casshern goes berserk you can expect nothing but goodness (or badness) to come out of it.

Well after starting
BSG almost a year ago, I got a little distracted and took a break from it for a while, even knocked off all six seasons of
Dexter in the process. I am happy to report that I am getting back into
BSG full swing again – right where I left off; in the middle of
Season Two; watched four episodes this past week. :)
Resurrection Ship Part 1
Resurrection Ship Part 2
Epiphanies
Black Market Spoiler
Resurrection Ship Part 1 & 2 was f**king great. I wasn't the biggest Helena Cain fan but I kinda felt bad seeing her die. And Christ the scene when both her and Adama were conspiring against each other simultaneously was awesome.
Also didn't waste any time getting into
Supernatural Season Three. ;D

Spoiler
Bobby was testing the Colt and shot her with it, yet nothing happened. I am assuming he wasn't using the specially designed bullets for it?
Yup, he didn't have the right ammo. I think Ruby supplied him with it in that very same episode.
What's your thoughts on this season so far?
It's been pretty good. It seems more tongue and cheek as opposed to the previous two seasons. Seems they made a little more room for the comedy. It's fun watching Dean just act nuts sometimes seeing as he only has a year to live. And they just revealed that the Yellow Eyed Demon was in fact Azriel. They've mentioned Lucifer a little but didn't go into great detail about him.
Yeah, they definitely put more focus on the comedy after the first seasons. But there's still room for some really dark stuff. You just wait for the end of this season. ;)
And there's a Trickster episode in Season 3 as well. ;D

And just to leave it with a bit of a teaser, let's just say that Azazel had bigger plans for Sam than simply leading the armies of Hell. ;)
Do they ever tap into the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Seems like mythology that would be perfect for that show.

HOW'D IT GET CANCELLED?!
A staggering drop in viewers had occured by the end of the very first season; to continue past 2 would have been something of financial suicide.
Personally, I've only seen two episodes. Didn't interest me... just felt way too by-the-numbers (which probably played into the general lack of interest from viewers). But it seemed to have a cult following that made themselves quite vocal after it's cancellation.
The X-Files: "Eve"
Holy shit, this episode is creepy as hell. This is one of the most chilling monsters-of-the-week yet, and it's really getting me--
Wait...
Did Mulder just ask for two diet sodas and two regular sodas?
What the f**k does that mean? What the hell is the waitress gonna get them? Will she make it all Cokes? What if someone wanted a ginger ale? Or a Sprite? Hell, maybe even a root beer!

X-Files episode 2x19, Død Kalm with ShadowPred
Some bad guest performances and worse old age makeup, but this ep has amazing atmosphere, a great final monologue from Scully about the end of the world, and an ingenious sequence where she raids the ship for the last non-contaminated water available, coming up with only a snow globe, sardine juice and some lemons.

It's been here for a long time. So my only guess is that it is indeed different in Canada.
All that's missing is The Plan, The Resistance, and The Face of The Enemy
I found the last two on youtube so far.
For the first one, well, let's say that There are Possible solutions, Because there are many ways to find things.
Well I barely read up on what The Plan is about, and I see it as being pointless to watch. But that's only because I really haven't watched the show at all, so if I have questions that need answering, and The Plan is something that will do that, then I'll end up seeing it. I'm still a long ways from having this show become a priority to watch.

That imagery is definitely in there with the Cylons marching in through the streets in the Season 2 finale. I personally see it more as an allegory for the US occupation in Iraq, what with the interference of the establishment, policing raids under cover of night, rooting out insurrectionists with unfair consequences, all that jazz, and capturing anybody with a voice who may propose a threat. It was also quite topical at the time of it's release.
The series in general has always been incredible like that. Here's a great article:

Sorry, it's been a while since I've read this one.
Great article from what I've read without being spoiled.
And I have to agree with them on the point that when we see characters die or characters in distress it feels more real, because the environments are familiar to us. But on the opposite side of the coin I felt absolute joy when Kara and Anders reunited with each other.
Thanks for that article man. Got mah' brain thinking. ;)

What do you think of Bobby so far, by the way? I'm so used to seeing him as the father figure that I sometimes forget about John.
I've grown to really like him. He's great around the brothers. More so than John ever was. Do we ever get to know some of his backstory?
Yup, there an episode in Season 7 that's pretty much devoted to it. And then there's one were we get to see him with his wife again. And one where he's trapped inside his own mind, living some of his past over and over.
There's also an episode in Season 4 (or 5) that's the "average" day of Bobby Singer.
Bobby Singer is also the name of one of the creators of the show.
I've been binge watching Breaking Bad all day. Half way through Season Two.
First three episodes of Firefly. Been really getting into the series again lately.
The X-Files, episode 8 of season 3, "Oubliette". I've always loved this ep--amazing score from Mark Snow, very memorable and frightening imagery (the psycho peering through the overhead slat--brrrr), and some fantastically tense scenes building up to a moving climax.

The X-Files, season 3 episode 20 "Jose Chung's From Outer Space"
10/10
Dear Damon Lindelof -- this is how you write something that provides no real answers to its mysteries, but nevertheless intrigues, engages, entertains, and, in its own strange way, ends up moving you. Darin Morgan's final script for the series sends him off with a bang, a tour de force that is hilarious, scary and touching in equal measure, as well as being a genius homage to the work of John A. Keel, with every aspect of the story making no sense or contradicting every other element, but there is still some disturbing sense of unknowable, unsolvable truth linking them together. And then there is that amazingly bittersweet final monologe, which ends the episode with a grounded sense of melancholy after all the weirdness that precedes it:
"Then there are those who care not about extraterrestrials, searching for meaning in other human beings. Rare or lucky are those who find it. For although we may not be alone in the universe, in our own separate ways on this planet, we are all... alone."

I really liked this one. It was nice to see some familiar faces over the last few seasons pop up and try and kill the old Winchester boys. And those comments Castiel made about Lucifer – Oh I can't wait to see him show up. That's another character I am looking forward to.
Lucifer is one of the best played characters in the show.

I was surprised it was Mary who was the one living with hunters. And John was the innocent one, for lack of a better term.
Yup, didn't see that coming myself.
You're just one episode away from "Monster Movie" now. I'm pretty sure you're gonna love that one.
Judging from the title, I take it, it's a parody of sorts about monster films and the genre in general? :D
Yeah, it's a throwback to all the old Universal movies. And it's in black and white. ;D

8/10
While this ep has a terrific premise and features perhaps the scariest single scene in the entire series (the Peacock brothers attack on the Sheriff and his wife), it is not the masterpiece it's often considered to be by fans and critics. While the ep is infamous for its disturbing premise and horrific imagery (which led to it being banned from network syndication after it first aired), it also features Mulder and Scully out of character to an alarming degree, reacting to the grisly murders and such with complete aloofness, and, even worse, cranking out one liners left and right, making them seem very unsympathetic, especially in the aftermath of the ep's impeccably directed midnight murder scene.

Completely agree, it's a f**king shame that these faults prevent it from being as amazing as it could be, because in all honesty, this episode could really have been THE BEST in the show so far.

Christ, I remember watching that for the first time. Getting chills just thinking about it. Such a f**king fantastic end to a somewhat disappointing season.
And now you get to start up 4. Ooh, boy, what I'd give to be able to see this for the first time again.

Tears. Srstears. One of the best episodes yet, part of a string of consistently brilliant episodes from this final season... and oh my god, who would have guessed that Richard Alpert's backstory would be so heartbreaking? Lots of answers in this one too, but with enough ambiguity to keep it soaked in beautiful mystery.
Goddamn amazing episode; the end had me nearly falling out of my chair.

It's very interesting watching the final four (of five) each deal with their situations differently. Anders seems like the only one who isn't completely losing it, but more or less trying to protect Kara. Whilst Tory seems to now embrace it, Tigh is trying to understand it, and Galen is becoming unraveled by it.

Supernatural
I Know What You Did Last Summer
It was pretty good. The demon, Alistair that Dean met in Hell finally showed up. Although I was a little bummed out. It's cool that he was possessing Drake from Aliens but I really wanted to see Christopher Heyerdahl playing him. But I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to see that.

Yes, but it was in the first episode of the season,
Are You There, God? It's Me Dean Winchester. That's when those spirits from the Winchester's past were trying to kill them. If I remember correctly she hasn't shown up in a new body yet.
I looked it up, it's not until the next season. But it seems like she did return to possess Sam in the second season however. I had completely forgotten that was her.

Strike Back Season One. (American Version)
Episode 1
Episode 2
Loved it. Follows the story of a British counter-terrorism organization called Section 20. After a rescue mission goes awry, one of their agents Michael Stonebridge (Phillip Winchester) brings in a former Delta Force operative Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) to help track down a formible terrorist. The first two episodes were basically Die Hard in a hotel. It was fun watching the two leads play off each other, not to mention the tension was great.
And I f**king love those opening credits.

Liam Cunningham was a downright nasty villain in this. He did some pretty awful things. So the conclusion to his arc was bitter sweet.

Family Remains
Criss Angel is a Douchebag
Okay -- Family Remains had to be the creepiest damn episode that I've seen so far. When they found out she was just human, that was a pretty nice twist, but Christ was she scary looking.
Oh and, "You ain't been had, until you been had by The Chief." :D
Yeah, Family Remains is one of the best episodes and definitely one of the scariest.

Shin-chan >_>
X-Men TAS
Sex and Violence
Death Takes a Holiday
Things are starting to pick up now that the season is coming to a close. Death Takes a Holiday was a great episode. I love how it started off pretty small, but lead to much bigger things like a unbroken seal, Castiel and Alistair. Christopher Heyerdahl was awesome as Alistair.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Well what have we here? Cosmic horror, mecha's, space age skin tight sci-fi wear, and a whole cast made up of emotionally unstable characters each with a story to tell. At just 26 episodes the series does at time feel like a monster of the week type scenario (which I enjoy) but from episode 16 onwards its acid trip, after acid trip. The series reels you into a sense of false security making it look like this is just Gundam meets Godzilla with angsty characters. Over the course of the series however new revelations are made, characters we grow to love die, and Shinji Ikari along with his fellow pilots Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu slowly start suffering from even more sanity slippage and behind all this is a take over the world plot that involves the entire eradication of the human race.
To this day this is still my favorite anime and one of my favorites series's ever with twists and turns at every episode, immense (and at times terrifying and bloody) battles between the Eva Units and the obviously Lovecraft inspired Angels. The message of the series while not being a very deep one is very positive and one that may be difficult to get at first due to all the weird shit that's put into your face, but when you figure it out you feel better. Many people have nicknamed this anime depression in box set. While yes it is very depressing it's message is one of the most uplifting one's ever. The final two episodes which were (and still are) hated by many people are probably some of my favorite episodes in an anime ever. Showing how while fiction and your imagination is a great escape from reality you need to come out of that bubble you've built and come face to face with reality because life isn't going to stop for you for anything and while you will experience pain the happy moments in between that pain is what balances our lives from being boring and perfect to challenging and rewarding. Every time I finish this I cry, I cry legitimate tears. Something that most other forms of media have very rarely done. I only really have one thing left to say to everyone reading this.
Congratulations...
X-Files...in time for X-Files night, I hope.
Season Four of Supernatural is coming to a close.
On the Head of a Pin
It's a Terrible Life
The Monster at the End of This Book
I loved all three of these episodes. On the Head of a Pin would have to be my favorite. With Dean torturing Alistair to extract information from him. Christ, those were some tense moments. He's such a deliciously evil character. And does anyone else think he sounds like Marlon Brando? :D
It was also nice to see Castiel step up literally and fight not only Alistair but Uriel as well. And The Monster at the End of this Book was fantastic. I really do love shows that poke fun at themselves once in a while. Stargate SG-1 used to do that now and again. But once the fun and games were out of the way – there were some pretty big revelations in that episode. I really hope they show some archangels. They're something I am dying to see, now that they've been acknowledged.
Just four more left...

Jump the Shark
The Rapture
When the Levee Breaks
Lucifer Rising
Sweet Jesus, what a way to end the fourth season. It was incredible, absolutely incredible. There are revelations, betrayals all on the eve of the apocalypse. First off, The Rapture was a terrific episode focusing on Castiel, or rather Jimmy Novak, the body in which Castiel is possessing. It was great to see an episode dedicated to his back-story and how Castiel came to posses him; but Lucifer Rising, oh boy what a f**king finale. The previous three seasons have been building up to this moment. Sam is with Ruby and they have to stop Lilith from opening the finale seal – which will spring Lucifer. Dean makes a horrifying discovery and asks for Castiel's help to find Sam, and stop what Sam's about to do to Lilith. I really liked Ruby – Christ, why woman!? Why!?
Easily my favorite season to date. And I really can't wait to start Season Five and see Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer. I love this show.
Didn't I tell you it was awesome? ;D
Season 4 and 5 are equally good in my opinion, so if you loved this, prepare for anohter great one. And the tension between Sam and Dean grows even bigger in some ways.
And a small spoiler about Lucifer...

The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season 2 myself. It's been a while since I watched it and back then I never saw all the episodes. It's a fantastic show, with so many interesting ideas that never got the chance to come to fruition. I love the idea of John Henry being Skynet's brother and Dillahunt is a great actor. I also picked up on something I never catched the last time I saw the finale...

Fallen Idols
I Believe the Children Are Our Future
The Curious Case of Dean Winchester
Changing Channels
Changing Channels is still one of my favorite episodes in the series thus far. It's really the episode that got me into the series. The comedy is pitch perfect, and the nods to other tv shows and pop cultural references are great. And the reveal about the Trickster later in the episode was just wonderful. Not to mention the revelation he makes about Michael & Lucifer and Dean & Sam.
Watched some more myself.

Death. A very interesting character, on a whole other level than the rest of the Horsemen.

For the longest time, I thought Doctor Who was a SNL spoof judging from the acting and effects. Not much has changed.
Wilfred. Funny as f**k.
Doctor Who season 1 episodes 4/5/6/7

The Song Remains the Same
My Bloody Valentine
Two very good episodes I thought. And Famine is downright creepy.
Yeah, he's one creepy motherf**ker.
What did you think of...
Spoiler
Michael. ;)
I thought he was pretty badass, like most of the angels actually. And finding out that the brothers are part of a bloodline going back to Cain & Abel, along with the fact that their destinies had been set long ago was downright awesome.
Spoiler
Also, he's powerful enough to kill Anna with a touch. That surprised me. I liked Anna... :'(
Those archangels are on a totally different level than other angels.
ASS BUTT!!!
What is "assbutt" or should I wait, so it doesn't spoil the surprise? :P
Don't spoil it, it's awesome.
It's so awesome, that it should have stayed permanent. Still good that we got a whole 80% of what the original ending would have been according Eric Kripke.

True Blood Season 5 Finale
Didn't really feel like a finale more like an penultimate episode, but it was sick to see Eric becoming a family oriented Vampire but... Bill. :'(
99 Problems
Point of No Return
Things are starting to pick up as the season is coming to a close! I loved these two episodes. Cass was pulling off some pretty badass moments in these episodes. And it was finally nice to see the end of Zachariah. Hell, with four episodes left, I'll probably shotgun all four tonight. 8)
Do it, man. It will be worth it. ;)
Hammer of the Gods is downright awesome. And a bit sad.
LOST - The End
Oh my god my face is just crumpled as I'm writing this, so much gross-looking happy-crying, sniffling my nose, biting my lip, wiping my eyes, and smiling. The ending was pure uncompromised beauty without a need to throw in a cynical snare or left-field twist, it just... was... perfect.
Im sorry, I cant really think all that well right now, but that's just the kind of ending you always want, but never expect to be that simple and beautifully sentimental. Only think I can really compare it to is The Forever War... this ending may be my favorite ever. I just can't say enough about it.
...Now I'm going to cry smiling and try to sleep.
Lost and found.
I shot gunned the last four episodes of
Supernatural Season Five last night and it was simply beautiful.
Spoiler
Hammer of the Gods
The Devil You Know
Two Minutes to Midnight
Swan Song
There's some very good stuff to be found in these last episodes, hell arguably some of the best stuff the season has to offer right here. Hammer of the Gods was an amazing episode. Sam and Dean find themselves in this strange motel in the middle of nowhere, and confronted by some famous Pagan Gods; Odin, Baldur, Kali and some others. It really was a treat to see these characters. Because when the angels were introduced it expanded the show's mythology tenfold. With these characters it goes to show Sam and Dean and even the angels are but part of small microcosm of a larger universe out there, which is until Lucifer shows up and massacres them all. That was a pretty badass moment for him. I also really liked Gabriel in this episode, I even felt sad when Lucifer killed him. That was a great moment between both Lucifer and Gabriel.
And in Two Minutes to Midnight – Death had one of the coolest f**king intros of the Four Horsemen. Hell, I'd put Death's intro right up with Castiel's from Season Four!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyNge7RF_lA#noexternalembed-ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyNge7RF_lA#noexternalembed-ws)
The scene between Death and Dean in the pizzeria oozed creepiness. And I think that in part is due to Julian Richings portrayal of him. He comes off as very cold and calculating. Not the kind of guy you want to f**k with...or lie to. And it all comes to an end in Swan Song, which was a very beautiful episode. The whole season has been building up to it. I loved Chuck's monologue about the car, Sam and Dean over the course of the episode. There where some pretty great moments in this episode.
"Hey assbutt!"
But I started tearing up when Sam/Lucifer was beating the hell outta Dean – and Sam started to remember all those memories he's shared with his brother as they're flashing across the screen. :'(
"It's okay Dean, it's gonna be okay, I've got him."
Goddamn masterpiece and a perfect finale to the season, and even the show if they decided to end it there.
I'm glad you liked it, man. That would have been the perfect place to end the show.
So, what do you think?

Is that the last we see of him? Or does he show up in future seasons?
At this point, that's the last we've seen of him.
As for the Horsemen, Death is certainly the most interesting, but I think Famine is on a whole other level of creepiness. But don't worry, Death will show up again. ;)
Yeah, I really liked Death. As I mentioned, his intro was just f**king badass. Now that season five is over, besides Death, do the other Horsemen show up again?
Nope, they're all gone.
So, what are your expectations for Season 6? What do you think is up with Sam returning, for example? ;)
Spoiler
First of all, I have no clue as to how he made it out of the pit; Michael maybe? And even if Lucifer is expunged from his body – I still think there's going to be a small trace of Lucifer still in there.
And Season Four & Five are my two favorites at this point. I just don't know how they're going to top Season Five's finale. Everything about it was perfect.
And I wouldn't mind seein' more Crowley. 8)

A great collection of episodes so far. I am really enjoying Season Four. When they found Earth – and the state that it was in, I was right there with the characters, as shocked as they were. It's also interesting to see Bill Adama start to lose it. Christ, that was some fine acting by Olmos right after the scene when Tigh told him he was a Cylon and he broke down and cried in the bathroom whilst Lee was present. I honestly felt sorry for him. One relationship that I am interested in seeing is the Anders/Kara one. They haven't really had any personal moments together since Anders secret coming out/and finding Earth. And I am dying to know who...or what Kara really is, since finding her body (along with her ship) on Earth. And things are starting to get interesting. Felix is plotting against Adama. Can't wait to finish this.
To quote Baltar..."Oh Felix, what are you doing?"

That final fight is easily still the most awkward death scene I've ever sat through. The moaning, BDSM undertones, the heavy breathing, screaming, and the fact that the Nazi girl is basically voiced by Haruko (oh gawd...) from FLCL with a sexy accent does not help damn it. :laugh:

All 25 episodes of Star Wars: Clone Wars
Not the CGI series that's airing on Cartoon Network now, but the 2D microseries that ran from 2003-2005. Despite being very over the top and stylized, this animated series does an excellent job bridging the gap between AotC and RotS. It was awesome checking it out again, and I had a lot of fun watching it.
I've been watching some episodes from Season 1 of Supernatural again. Man, the show had a completely different feel back then. Much more horror oriented. And Jared Padalecki was tiny back then, at least compared to the mountain he is now. :laugh:

Supernatural - Season 2
In My Time of Dying
Everybody Loves a Clown
Bloodlust
I had forgotten how much I actually liked John. :'(
Aye -- I liked John as well. Even though Bobby is a better father figure for the boys. The ending of In My Time of Dying still chokes me up a bit. :'(
Yeah, Bobby is great as well. It's just that, looking back at John when watching the newer seasons, I've always rememberd him as a bit of an asshole, which is why I was surprised how much I cared for him when re-watching these old episodes.
Now, I'm going to watch two more episodes of Season 2, then I'll wait for the Blu-Ray. 8)

I have Season Two on Blu -- and the PQ is great. 8)
Are there any good extras? I never really got a chance to watch those, because the first time I watched the show was with a friend who had the DVD's, so we just skipped that. And these days I've been watching it on the computer, so I've only seen bits and pieces of the extras on YouTube.
There's nothing really worthwhile on Season Two's extras. There's an interactive road map about urban legends, plus little tidbits and facts about all 22 episodes.
I'd say Season Four has the best bonus features thus far. There's fantastic multi part doco called The Mythologies of Supernatural about the lore behind the show and particually Season Four -- like Angels, Archangels, The Apocalypse etc.
Oh, well, it's still worth getting. I expected some bloopers or something though. :D

A pretty decent opening to the sixth season. Dean is trying to live a normal life, but that doesn't last long.

I really wasn't expecting to see Samuel. And I still don't fully trust him. It was also pretty cool to see Stargate SG-1's Corin Nemec show up.
Yeah, Samuel definitely have his own thing going on.

The MOW episodes are still kinda bland and the show's narrow premise restricts it from going into fantastic, cinematic realms like The X-Files could , but goddamn if this show's mytharc isn't the most exciting and endlessly inventive TV has seen since the heyday of that juggernaut.

Weekend at Bobby's quite a bit. It was nice to see what Bobby has to put up with most of the time. And it was good to see Crowley return played by the devilish (pun intended) Mark Sheppard. Jensen Ackles doesn't make a bad director at all. I wonder how Jared Padalecki is behind the camera. Also, Balthazar was pretty awesome. I am looking forward to seeing more of him, and as always more Lucifer.
And it's about time they ripped into the

I remembered Sam being possessed, but I had completely forgotten it was by Meg.
Also,
Tall Tales is definitely one of the best episodes of the entire show. I mean, the dialogue, the acting, the weird scenarios, it's all great. I love when you get to see things from both Sam and Dean's point of view and as far as the Trickster goes, Richard Speight Jr. just brings so much to the show.

Always loved that bit. Are you going to rewatch Season Three?
Probably not. I watched Season 5, 4 and 3 a while ago. And yes, in that order. :laugh:
What, why? :laugh:
I tend to do that when re-watching many shows. I don't know why. At least I watch each season in order and don't start with the last episode.
Ah. I see.
I watched
Family Matters earlier today.

All Dogs Go to Heaven
It was a decent episode, I guess. But it was a bit strange seeing an episode supposedly take place where I live. :D
Was it filmed there as well? Or is it all filmed in Canada?
Next episode is pretty good. And it's not what you would expect. ;D
I am not sure where it was filmed. Because when Sam & Dean go down to the docks to look at a body there's this shot of a bridge in the background that I've never seen before. And I am pretty sure we have nothing like that here.
But it was still cool for them to have a episode based here. That's the second time they've done it too. The first was when Sam & Dean find John's hidden storage room. 8)
Boardwalk Empire: "The Emerald City," "Paris Green," "A Return to Normalcy"
Finally, finally,
finally finished up the first season. God, don't know how long it's been since I started it. 7 or 8 months, probably. Definitely not gonna let Season 2 take this long.
This last few episodes, I grew to absolutely love Eli. May be my favourite character now. And it was great to see Capone mature.
Also,
Spoiler
Van Alden is completely insane. Good god, what he did to Sebso.
One of the channels here, showed the entire first season of Sons Of Anarchy in one go recently, so now I've been sort of caught up by it. They are showing S2 episodes daily now. Not groundbreaking in any way, but pretty entertaining so far and it's great seeing so many familiar faces in the same series
Otherwise, I'm completely hooked by S6 of Doctor Who and the brand new Forbrydelsen III (The Killing) that just started on Danish tv.
Ah, Series 6. That was a good one. I've really like all of Moffat's Series so far, actually.

Yep, getting Moffat to write episodes for the show turned out to be a huge plus :)
I've seen very little of the pre-Eccleston episodes - I only remember Tom Baker and Paul McGann moments when I think really hard.
For Tennants run, I really liked episodes like The Stolen Earth/Journeys End and The Girl In The Fireplace. For Matt Smith, his introduction episode
The Eleventh Hour might be my favorite of S5 and I really liked the intro episodes of S6 as well. I'm re-watching the S6 episodes right now because I don't remember them that well.
About favorite doctors - I was still on the Tennant wagon if you asked me when Smith started out, but I've really warmed up to Smith's take on the character and the fact that he has some good, well written episodes to showcase. He's completely made the character his own.
Karen Gillian FTW :D
What are your favorites?
Quote from: Eva on Sep 26, 2012, 02:25:25 PM
What are your favorites?
Well, favourite episode would have to be "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit." It was just so fantastic in every way. It's like the Doctor stumbled into a Cthulhu story. I saw things in the character then that I hadn't before, and haven't since. Unease, fear, terror, and a complete lack of knowledge about what he's facing. It was the first time I'd ever seen him without any kind of control, and I really don't think he's been in a state like that since. It certainly helped that I was reading Lovecraft for the first time when I saw this episode.
Favourite Doctor? I'd have to say Smith (though, like you, I haven't seen much of the old series). Don't get me wrong, I loved Eccleston and Tennant, but Smith just suits me more. I started watching the show with Series 5, so he was
my Doctor, and I think he'll always be
my Doctor.
Favourite companion is hands-down, no question, Captain Jack. Yes, I've loved (almost) all of the others, but he was the best. Handsome, charming, violent, and just all-around badass. He's pretty much the Doctor, if the Doctor carried a gun and tried to seduce any humanoid within sight. I really hope he's brought back for the 50th Anniversary.
Gonna give that double episode a re-watch. The synopsis sounds great. I hardly remember it, but I just might have missed a couple of episodes during Ecclestons & Tennants run.
If there's one thing Smith has going for him, it's the humor. His doctor is such a geek, so confident in himself and at the same time, so clueless about very mundane stuff, especially concerning Amy and Rory. Sometimes it's downright hilarious to watch. I'll mention Alex Kingston as River Song as well - her character seems a bit more developed in the Smith episodes than in the Tennant episodes - again, good writers is everything for a tv-series. :)
Just wondering... why isn't this thread stickied like the Last Movie You Watched one?

Yes, River's great. I had watched all of the Smith stuff before I saw her introduction with Tennant, which really added another level to it all. It was like I was seeing it from her perspective, as opposed to the Doctor's. Was really bittersweet.
Supernatural Season Six
"Clap Your Hands If You Believe..."
This was a great episode. I loved how they ripped on The X-Files, and it stared as one thing but turned into something completely different.
Homeland Season One
"Pilot"
"Grace"
This was fantastic. Just about loved the first two episodes of this. Damien Lewis plays a POW returning home from Iraq, and he may or may not be a terrorist/sleeper agent for Al Qaeda. Some great acting from Lewis, who gives a performance that's very hard to penetrate; and enigmatic. I can't wait to knock off the rest of Season One.

Yeah, not sure how I feel about Season Three to be honest. I guess much like Dexter's third season, it's the weak link. The comedy was certainly more evident.

I agree with this. I actually really liked Season 3 of Dexter, great villain, great character development, and lots of awesome dark comedy. I felt like a fair amount of Season 5 and Season 6 have been weak links, but I have faith in Season 7 to bring it back to the quality quota set by the first four seasons.
Still worth watching, seeing as Dexter, from magnificent to bad, manages to alway maintain it's charm. And Deb. Deb is consistently awesome.
Yeah, Season 7 definitely looks good so far. My mind might overload from the tension and darkness that oozes out from everything we've seen so far.
Only a few days to go now...
Edit: More Supernatural.
The Kids Are Alright
Bad Day at Black Rock
The introduction of Lisa and Ben, who of course gets a bigger role in Season 6. And that rabbit's foot episode is just great.
"I lost my shoe."
Loved that rabbit's foot episode.
"I am Batman."
Quote"I lost my shoe."
I loved that part. ;D
Sin City
The discussion Dean had with Casey (the demon bartender) was interesting. It puts the demons in a more grey area than before. And I think this is the first time the show mentioned Lucifer as an actual character.
^ Need to watch some more of Season Six tonight. The episode, Frontierland sounds great.

I'm really digging this show so far. Carrie is a fascinating character, very intense and well, a bit crazy. As for Brody, you never know where you get him. The way they are setting things up, he looks guilty, but I don't think it's as simple as that.

I've considered watching this but be honest is it just 1 story that could take place in about an hour and half just padded out with continues plans that just happen to fail like V?
More Homeland.
Blind Spot
The Good Soldier

Still very good. And this last episode had some interesting revelations.
Now you're ahead of me. Last episode I watched was Blind Spot. :laugh:
First episode of Last Resort. I have to say i really liked it but i can't help but feel that ABC will cancel this before it hits it's true potential. Like they do with every show............ Nowadays they don't give a show a chance to develop and grow an audience, they expect to have unlimited viewers the first episode in otherwise it's a fail in network eyes.

Caged Heat
Appointment in Samarra
I really liked these two episodes. And I hope that's not the last we see of Crowley. The concept behind Appointment in Samarra was great – with Dean having to wear Death's ring for 24 hours. Also, it was very interesting to hear what Death had to say about the souls. Looking forward to seeing what that's all about.
"Now he's got a boner." :D
Yeah,
Caged Heat is great. And come on, we all know who the pizza man is. ;)

Achilles Heel
Crossfire
Representative Brody

...I should start making my way through the rest of those eps. myself.
So, I just finished Season 1 of
Homeland. An excellent ending.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ugh, I guess I'll watch Deep Space Nine again to cheer me up.
The Good Soldier
The Weekend Two very good episodes. Some fine acting from Damian Lewis to come out of
The Weekend. I loved the scene between Brody and Carrie at the cabin -- when he made some pretty startling revelations.

I still think Brody has something to hide. If Walker is indeed still alive, I think there's going to be a confrontation between the two. With a twist revealing who's the terrorist and who's not.
That's one of the best things about this show, you never really know what to make of these people. I think Carrie is one of the few characters in the show I didn't suspect of being a terrorist at one point or another.

I found how he was always rushing off to be a bit suspect. Even though it was intended to avoid Carrie. And then there's the lie detector test which made me raise an eyebrow.
Saul always had me worried :laugh:
Like a Virgin
I was a bit let down with this episode. The concept of introducing dragons was cool. But when Sam & Dean went up against them, it felt half baked. As in they fought them in their 'human' form. Would have been much better if they fought them in their true form. Like what the episode was actually hinting at, from the beginning.

Dexter - Season 7 - Episode 1 "Are You...?"
Absolutely awesome! Managed to make me feel warm and confident in the series, even with it's foreboding tone and never-darker scenario.
Full review here: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=41227.msg1500317#msg1500317 (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=41227.msg1500317#msg1500317)
Hatfields & McCoys - Part One
Anse Hatfield (Kevin Costner) and Randall McCoy (Bill Paxton), both head of their respective families and former friends, now at each other's throats. This mini-series starts of near the end of the Civil War and shows us how some small arguments can escalate into a more or less full blown war between these two families. So far, it's been a great show. The acting is good, with both Costner and Paxton doing well in their roles. The production value seem pretty high as well and the time period have been recreated fairly well as far as I can tell. However, my favorite characters so far are Johnse and Roseanna, who got a Romeo & Julia thing going.
Definitely recommended.
Revolution episode 3
Really starting to like this show. The idea is pretty cool and the characters are interesting enough for me. They could've had some more dept but yeah as the show continues the characters will be more fleshed out. I'm sure of it. Also some good new regarding the show.
http://collider.com/nbc-full-seasons-revolution-new-normal-go-on/199613/ (http://collider.com/nbc-full-seasons-revolution-new-normal-go-on/199613/)
Supernatural - Season 3
Bedtime Stories
Red Sky at Morning
Both of them good episodes. I'm probably one of the few people who liked Bella as well. And I just noticed that when Sam is reading the Latin chant at the end of Red Sky at Morning, I'm pretty sure that one of the words is Castiel.
Edit: Yup, ten episodes in one sitting.
Fresh Blood
A Very Supernatural Christmas
Malleus Maleficarum
Dream a Little Dream of Me
Mystery Spot
Jus in Bello
Ghostfacers
Long Distance Call
Time Is on My Side
No Rest for the Wicked
And with that, Season 3 of Supernatural is finished. While it's not the best season, I would still rate it higher than Season 6 and 7. I liked both Bella and Ruby, characters many people seem to have a problem with. And there are some really fun episodes this time around, with Mystery Spot of course being my favorite. But it's not short on drama either, with Jensen Ackles especially giving a good performance throughout the season. And that ending, man, that f**king ending. Just brutal.
Gonna start re-watching Homeland this week. I remember thinking it was pretty good when I watched in on tv last year, but I've forgot the storyline details. I might just re-watch the first season of 24 this autumn as well. I can barely remember it.

And yeah, seeing Dean chained up in Hell – Hellraiser style was f**ked up.
Supernatural - Season 8We Need to Talk About KevinA decent start to a new season, but nothing special.
Spoiler
Dean is back from Purgatory, in company with the vampire Benny. Sam has not hunted for a year and seems to have settled down with a dog and a cute veterinarian (a character I so far found annoying). Cass is gone, according to Dean he "didn't make it". I can't help but think that Dean and Benny sacrificed him somehow to escape Purgatory.
UnforgivenPretty decent episode. Sam starts to get his memories back, and they're on the trail of an arachnid.
Spoiler
Does Mother come back anytime soon? :-\
Mother comes back, but I must say her character is a bit of a disappointment. At least the way they set her up to be the big bad of this season.
Good. I was getting a little worried. So much of this season has been focused on Sam's soul. I feared she had been pushed off to the side.
You need to push on and watch The French Mistake today. That's a great episode. ;)

It's funny you should compare Balthazar to Gabriel by the way, because it just takes a couple of episodes before he's screwing with reality again. :laugh:
South Park - Season 16
Raising the Bar
James Cameron, our savior. :'(
Mannequin 3: The Reckoning
The French Mistake
Ah, The French Mistake was an incredible episode. Balthazar alters reality and Sam & Dean find themselves in the real world...as Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. I loved pretty much everything about this episode; right down to 'Eric Kripke' getting blown away by a shotgun wielding angel. I think this ranks right up there with Changing Channels. :D
Aye, it's a good one. Would have been even better if Kripke and the rest of the crew were played by themself. Also, notice how quick Sam is to jump into bed with "Ruby". Makes you wonder if he really got over her, despite her being an evil bitch.
Mishamigo. 8)

I dig the Season 3 one quite a bit.
Yup -- I always loved Season Three's with the hands reaching towards the screen. Although the shattering glass from Season Six is pretty sweet.
Supernatural - Season 4
Lazarus Rising
Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester
Lazarus Rising remains the best season opening so far. The introduction of Castiel is just awesome. This was back when you had respect for the angels, back when they were the most powerful beings around and didn't get bitch slapped by Leviathans. The second episode of Season 4 is also a good one and we get to see some familiar faces, such as Meg Masters and Agent Henriksen. And of course, it sets the stakes pretty high by having the Apocalypse looming over the horizon.
What's a Leviathan?

Yup, it's a really boring design. Just a big CGI mouth.
How I Met Your Mother
Pretty funny, I like it. No where near the funniest I've seen, but it's still okay.
Fringe S5 Ep2 - brilliant.
and random Inspector Rex in Rome episode :P
...And Then There Were NoneThis was a pretty cool episode.
John Carpenter's The Thing seemed to be heavily influenced.
Spoiler
And I really didn't expect to see Gwen, Samuel and Rufus all die in this episode either. :-[
Firefly- Episodes "Ariel", "Jaynestown", "Our Mrs. Reynolds", and "Shindig". This is such a great TV show, you haven't lived until you've seen Firefly.

Supernatural - Season 4
In the Beginning
Metamorphosis
Monster Movie
Yellow Fever
Monster Movie is a great episode, bringing all those classic monsters like Dracula, The Wolf Man and the Mummy to life. Added to that is some great music and the fact that the whole episode is shown in black and white. Gotta love that. Yellow Fever is a lot of fun as well. The best moment comes after the real episode however, with Jensen Ackles performing "Eye of the Tiger." 8)

Liking it quite a bit. Back when it first came on TV I didn't even bother with it after episode 3. Now that I'm watching it, I see that the reason for that was probably due to not giving time for the characters to develop in my eyes because so far the characters are what make this show. The plot so far is not as interesting as I would like, and the plots for each individual episode are mostly mediocre, but the characters completely give life to this show, and really are the only reason I have kept interest after finally giving the show another chance.
Boardwalk Empire
"Georgia Peaches"
"Under God's Power She Flourishes"
"To the Lost"
Holy shit. Holy shit. I always loved this show, but these last three episodes made it skyrocket in my personal opinion of it. The release of an entire season's worth of buildup, each episode more tense than the one before it, and the character's reactions to everything more interesting. Compared to other HBO shows I've seen, BWE has relatively little in quantity of violence, but when it happens, it's brief, brutal, and packs one helluva wallop. Christ, I'm still reeling from it. Why, oh why, did I wait so long before catching up on this show? At least now I can bring myself up to speed on Season 3, watch it as it comes out from here on.
Goddamn, this show is great. If you haven't started watching it, do yourself a favour.
My Heart Will Go On
FrontierlandTwo very good alternate reality/trime travel episodes, I thought. Dat Balthazar alters reality simply because he didn't like James Cameron's
Titanic. This episode had some good moments. It was great to see Ellen again. And
Frontierland was awesome. Castiel sends Sam & Dean back in time to 1861 Wyoming to get ashes from a Phoenix.
"I am a posse magnet." :laugh:
Spoiler
My only question is, if Dean was the one to shoot the Phoenix -- why would Samuel still say he did it in the Journal?

Didn't Sam tell him that's what the journal said? In that case, he probably didn't want to screw up the future by writing anything different.
By the way, the guy that picked up the Colt at the end, he's apparently the ancestor of the hunter that had it in Season 1.
Shadow, your sister is right, Revenge is getting realllly good! So glad I gave it a chance.
Homeland - Season 2Beirut is BackAnother great episode, with some
very tense moments.
Spoiler
And holy f**k, that ending. :o
Dexter S7E02
The ending way great! ;D
Hatfields & McCoys - Part Two
As the story continues, I find it harder and harder to find anyone to root for. But it's not really needed, for the characters and the story is enough to keep me interested anyway. As the family feud continues to escalate, the Hatfields have taken to the hills and are waiting for the big strike from the McCoys. Can't wait to see how this wraps up in the next part.
Mommy Dearest
The Man Who Would Be King
Well the Eve story seems pretty much over, in favor of Crowley stepping back into the spotlight. I have to say her introduction as well as her death was pretty disappointing. I guess I expected more. We also find out Castiel has been working in secret with Crowley to find Purgatory.
Yup, Eve was pretty much wasted as a character.
But Castiel had some major badass moments in that last episode. Like storming into the room, killing two demons and then forcing the black smoke back down another ones throat before smiting him as well. 8)
Let it Bleed
The Man Who Knew Too MuchAnd with that, Season Six is over. It felt like a very
uneven Season this time around. What with the first half about Crowley and Purgatory – and then that takes a back seat to Mother, and that storyline ended rather disappointingly. But once that ends, the Crowley/Purgatory story arc comes back. They should have handled one at a time. Instead of immediately ending one and going to a different arc, only to come to the other one later. I really enjoyed the character of Balthazar and his sarcastic, and to mention deranged sense of humor. He reminded me a bit like Gabriel. And much like Gabriel, he's going around altering reality in a few episodes this season.
Spoiler
Now that Balthazar and Raphael are dead and Castiel has God-like powers, it's going to be interesting to see how Sam & Dean deal with him in Season Seven.

Let's just say they clear all that up in the first episode of Season 7.
Yeah, the damn first episode. >:(
Goddamn it.
Hatfields & McCoys - Part Three

But I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is on the lookout for a good Western. Or who's just a fan of Costner, Paxton or a good story in general. Powers Boothe was pretty good in this one, probably one of the most level headed characters in this feud.
Desperate Housewives Finale. :'(
Supernatural - Season 4
It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester
Wishful Thinking
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Heaven and Hell
Family Remains
Criss Angel Is a Douchebag
Another batch of great episodes. The introduction of both Anna and Alastair added some interesting characters to each side. Dean getting laid with an angel only serves to prove that he is indeed the man. And Family Remains is one of the creepiest episodes so far. Frigging humans, man.
Also...
"You ain't been had 'till you been had by the Chief."
Yeah, I remember being creeped out by
Family Remains. One of the scariest episodes thus far.

Fair enough. It ended on a high note , but then they went ahead with a sh*t ninth season that deserved to be canned. :)
I think I saw one episode of Dr. Who. Needed more Oprah.
Copper
I finished the remaining episodes of Homeland Season One.
Representative Brody
The Vest
Marine One
All three of those episodes were very good. As was the season on a whole. Those moments with Brody in the bunker were very tense.
Even when I knew there was going to be a second season, I was still on the edge of my seat.
Supernatural - Season 4
After School Special
Sex and Violence
Death Takes a Holiday
On the Head of a Pin
Sex and Violence is a good one. The identity of the Siren was nicely handled and the design of the creature itself was excellent as well. It reminded me of something else, but I can't put my finger on it. It was also nice that Sam and Dean, under the influence of the Sire, had the chance to get some things of their chest. Not that it went that well in the end though. And of course, I gotta give some credit to this episode for introducing me to Warrant.
The next two episodes were great as well. You know, Mark Rolston was really good as Alastair, but Christopher Heyerdahl just nailed that character. So unplesant and creepy to be around. This character was only in four episodes in total, but he's still one of the best villains in the show. That torture scene is one of the best scenes in the entire show.
"Something caught in my throat... I think it's my throat."
Aye -- I loved Christopher Heyerdahl as Alastair. :)

Homeland
Episode 2 "Grace"
Episode 3 "Clean Skin"
Oh my god. This show. THIS f**kING SHOW. It is absurd how good Claire Danes is in this, and her character is just something to behold; frustrated and frustratingly conflicted, like most of my favorite characters, and sports a gut-trusting drive that is enough to jack my adrenalin alone. She's daring and unpredictable, and while it's dangerous in her line of work, it's also invaluable in her investigations. Damian Lewis is also worthy of mighty mention with soft-spoken and sometimes intensely un-spoken tendencies, the way his ambiguity is being formed is absolutely masterful. It all keeps your mind racing at a mile a minute while holding your undivided attention.
From it's ambiguously complex characters to the ever-interesting investigatory politics, this show is downright inspiring to me.
It only gets better as well. ;D
The characters are very well developed. There are so many moments when I find myself so frustrated with a character that I would like to reach through the screen and slap them, only for me to change my mind entirely in another scene and find myself sympathizing or relate to this character very strongly instead. Good stuff.
Homeland is great,That final episode in season one I was literally biting my finger.
Supernatural - Season 8What's Up, Tiger Mommy?Pretty mediocre episode, but I have mentioned a few times how I would like to see Jared Padalecki play Balder in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, this didn't exactly change my mind.

American Horror Story
Episode 1 – Pilot
The Harmon family moves to Los Angeles to begin anew. They move into an old creepy looking house which has a past to it. There was a murder suicide. It's not long before weird things start happening and they meet the bizarre next door neighbors. For the most part I really enjoyed this. Some of the stuff that goes on here is really odd. But I am used to Ryan Murphy's often weird and creative sense of style, when I used to watch Nip/Tuck regularly. Dylan McDermott as Dr. Ben Harmon is pretty good. He plays a psychiatrist – who is trying to reconnect with his wife Vivien (Connie Britton) after he was caught cheating on her. They already give hints at who might be a ghost here; which I don't mind. The concept behind the maid is pretty interesting; with both Ben and Vivien seeing two different interpretations of her. And the one Ben sees, taps into his inner most desires as well as his past.
What I like most about this show is that it's built as an anthology. So it's going to be a new story and new cast each season. Season Two is already looking to be great – whilst taking place in an insane asylum. They've also brought Joseph Fiennes aboard.
It's a pretty good start here, and I can't wait to finish off the first season.
I just finished Supernatural - Season 4. Probably gonna take it a bit easy now, or else I might just overdose on the show. :laugh:

To this day I still say that it was a missed opportunity to use Bear Grylls for PREDATORS promos.
Babylon 5: "Objects at Rest"
Damn man. I didn't quite cry while watching this, but holy shit, I was close. The penultimate episode of this absolutely marvellous space opera, and one of the best as well. Gonna go through all of the movies before I watch that final one, stretch this goodbye as long as I can. :(
I feel sad, knowing that this wonderful journey is nearing its end. But this show just leaves me with an enduring optimism. Countless times over these five seasons, terrible things have happened. The future portrayed is not perfect; much like the in the real world, terrible things happen to good people, evil isn't always vanquished, and tragedy strikes the good and the pure. But, in the end, good is never truly defeated. Yes, evil always comes back, again and again, but neither does it last. In this wide sea of dystopian and pessimistic visions of what is to come, Babylon 5 presents us with something unique; a universe in which optimism does not feel misplaced.
Many of the actors from this series have died over the years, all well before their time. This saddens me, but it also makes me feel better knowing that they will live on through this series, through these characters that I have grown to know and love. And that is something powerful.
This is a bit of a rambling mess, but I felt I just had to get my feelings out about this truly remarkable television series.
Fringe
The new episode of Comic Book Men was pretty decent. But were the episodes this short the last season as well?

Yeah, it looks as if they cut it from an hour to a half-hour. Huh.
The Walking Dead Season 3 Premier.
Pretty good episode, actually went by a lot quicker than I was expecting. Good pacing, good mix between action and dialogue. A few things bugged me technical wise, but other than that everything was pretty solid.
Looking forward to the rest of the season.
Quote from: First Blood on Oct 16, 2012, 12:14:05 AMYeah, it looks as if they cut it from an hour to a half-hour. Huh.
Not even half an hour. The one I saw was only 21 minutes. :'(
I guess that was without commercials? :'(
Yup. Not every episode from last season was that great, but it deserves more than 20 minutes.
That's AMC for ya. Honestly, watching The Walking Dead last night, I felt like I saw more commercials than I did show :-\
I agree. They put CBM on at 11:30 pm over here. So they show The Walking Dead twice, and then Talking Dead, then finally they put Comic Book Men on at that ungodly hour.
Yep. I've never watched CBM, but even if I wanted to, I doubt I'd stick around that long to wait for it. Maybe if they showed Talking Dead directly after TWD I'd watch that, but I can't be bothered by the second play-through of TWD.
They should do TWD, Talking Dead, CBM, TWD repeat. And, while they're at it, cut back on the amount of commercials.
Right.

On the topic of favorite moments from Homeland, here's a small one of mine:
Spoiler
The brief but deeply impactful cut to Saul getting the call to come to Langley when they get a lock on Tom Walker... and he's just sitting against the wall, in the dark watching his wife sleep. How he calmly says "Okay, Carrie. I'm up," to such an intense call is absolutely heartbreaking, showing that he just doesn't care about anything else but making sure he wife isn't disturbed.
Homeland - "The Vest"
OH GOD
THE ENDING
It was literally so sudden, so soul crushing, and so harsh that I thought it was a fever dream of Carrie's... but no. It's just that heavy. It makes complete sense too, seeing as
Spoiler
Brody is trying to distance himself from prior romantic ties with Carrie or any other possible hot buttons.
It hurts, man. It hurts. :'(
Gonna be watching the season finale later today... holy shit, this show is mindblowing. The hard hitting espionage thriller that I've always wanted TV to have. Just another part of this golden age we're in.
latest Fringe,Clone Wars,Big Bang Theory
Make sure your body is ready for the finale, Sweeper. It's 80 minutes long. 8)
Watched a few old recorded episodes of History Channel's Full Metal Jousting. That show holds a special place in my heart, even though it's been like six months since I've heard any news about season two..
Homeland - Season 1
Episode 13 [Finale] - "Marine One"
I mean... what can I say? What the f**k can I even say? The bunker scene with Brody on the phone had me bawling. :'(
Arrow episode 2
Decent ep,some nice character reflection. and cliffhangers.
Naruto Shipuuden 284, Filler. >:(
Babylon 5: "Sleeping in Light"
That was it. There's no more. The perfect end to a wonderful space opera. I already poured my heart out about this show and how much I love it a couple pages ago, so I'll keep this brief. All I'll say is that I was crying almost the entire 45 minutes. Every scene was full of emotion, every actor at their best. I'm saddened now, thinking that there's no more to be seen. But I can always look forward to going back, reliving the adventure again and again.

American Horror Story -- Season OneHome Invasion
Murder House
Halloween Part One
Halloween Part Two
Piggy, Piggy
Open House
Rubber ManOver the course of these episodes we learn more about the previous occupants of the house and how they met their grisly ends. And on top of that, how their malevolent spirits affect the Harmon family. Ben seems to be in denial, whilst Vivien is losing her mind to all the horrible things she's witnessing. Violet has come to accept it, and even fell in love with one of the spirits in the house. It all makes for a wonderfully twisted and f**ked up narrative. Much of these characters have two sides to them. There's no black and white. Everyone seems to fall in the middle.
Spoiler
There are also hints that Vivien may be carrying the Anti-Christ since she's pregnant. But we just found out she's carrying twins – so I am interested to see the outcome of that.
Soul Eater
Decided to try finishing it this month because why the hell not?

That's it, the first season of American Horror Story is over. I thought it was pretty solid. A nice collection of deeply flawed characters in a psychosexual charged ghost tale. The last episode almost took on a dark comedic tone, not that I didn't mind that.

Reading you guys talking about it, I checked out the trailer for Elementary and it looks like it's trying to be way too clever for its own good. It might have been more interesting if they had discarded the direct Holmes connection entirely and let it have an identity of its own. To some extent, similar to what House M.D did.

What's this about? I've never heard about it :)
Well basically this young woman integrates herself into a community who generally accept her with open arms. But what they don't know is that she's there with an agenda. Her father was framed for something he didn't do and so she sets out to get revenge. She does this in different ways. At first the series starts out slow (which is necessary) and it takes four or five episodes before it really gets moving along. But they're still interesting enough and a crucial setup to the series. It's really worth watching at least the first 6 episodes or so before you make your mind up. And the way the different characters develop and the story develops is really intriguing.
OK, I watched a trailer - don't quite know what to make of it. Somehow, it reminded me of Damages, with the lead character sort of integrating herself into a 'false life' to pursue a secret and very personal agenda. Maybe the trailer I watched just didn't really sell, what might make Revenge stand out, well enough... :)

I loved every second of this. The acting is good, the production value is really good and despite each episiode being pretty short, nothing feels rushed so far. I loved how the Spartan's are being kept in the dark and the ending to
Part 3 was f**king amazing. I can't wait for the next episode.

Huh, I'm actually very pleasantly surprised by this show so far. I heard good things about it, but I was still a bit hesitant. Based on these first two episodes, though, its really shaping up to be something cool. I like all three main cast members, and am very excited to see more of Agent Ellison. Really looking forward to seeing where this show goes.
I'm glad to hear that you liked it. And while Season 1 is good, Season 2 is where it really kicked off in my opinion. :)
The finale to Season One was incredible.

Holy shit. Holy shit. That was one of the best episodes yet. Just... f**k me, absolutely fantastic.

Thinking of starting BSG from the beginning again. The ending was just fantastic. But I couldn't help but be left with a profound sadness, that it was all over. And goddamn it, I want to experience it all over again.

Nope. But I remember what you were telling me about it. Perhaps I'll watch that first, to tie up the show for good. And then dive back into it from the beginning. :)
Yeah. The Plan is the perfect little final note. I remember telling you it was an epilogue or sorts, but that's not right; it's more of an addendum.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor ChroniclesThe TurkHeavy MetalAnother cool pair of episodes. As I said with the first two, I'm really liking the main cast; its nice to see all of them interacting the way they do. The stuff with Cromartie is looking like its going to be something interesting, but I actually have one question about that:
Spoiler
Did his severed head actually make the jump through time in the pilot with John, Sarah, and Cameron? At first I was under the impression that it was buried at the site and didn't reboot itself until that worked picked it up, but now I think the third episode mentioned that it traveled through time. How did this happen without being covered in flesh?

Possibly one of my favorite animated TV shows on FX. As raunchy as it is, it makes me laugh every episode. And the new season starts this January.

Dr. Silberman.
Cameron is not at all what I expected her to be like prior to starting the show. Summer Glau is perfect as a Terminator; some many things she does in this series leave me in awe.
Nearing the end of Season 1, are we? ;D
The casting in this is great. Thomas Dekker is definitely my favorite John Connor and Lena Headey is great as Sarah. And don't get me started on Summer Glau. Not to mention Garret Dillahunt's performance as Cromartie. He has a really interesting story arc coming in Season 2.

Derek and John watching young Derek and Kyle play baseball, that was great stuff.
I'm probably going to be ordering Season Two very soon. I'm really glad the show didn't turn out to be just Terminator of the week stuff, which is kind of what I was expecting, given the modern day setting.

Absolutely perfect summation of what's going on in the series.
Mad Men - Season 5 - Episode 1
Well... not too keen on dramas. But Alison Briiiiie....
How did you make it that far if you're not keen on dramas? :laugh:
I didn't. :P We were shown it in class.
Mind you, after being shown Death Note I could watch anything.
They were playing Mad Men at school? Jesus Christ, best class ever.
We've also watched Tremors, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Truman Show, listened to Bohemian Rhapsody and some strange anime.
Supernatural - Season 8
Blood Brother
A pretty decent episode actually. And it almost shames me to admit that the Leviathans had a pretty cool scene in this. Not that taking human form made any sense, but I guess that's what happens when you've got a limited budget to work with.

Does Galactica have any power shields, or how did it withstand a nuclear missile in the pilot episode?
Is Kobol really Earth?

Is Kobol really Earth?
-Yes, of sorts. They refer to it as the 'flak barrier', so it's not for withstanding major strikes. Galactica's hull is immensely resilient however, and is meant to hold against strikes of incredible force. The flak barrier is mostly to protect against debris and fighter/ship-to-ship fire, for as long as it can hold. It really starts to tear as the series goes on.
-No, it's legend is as the birthplace of humanity and the resting place of the gods; the fabled Thirteenth Tribe left to what is known in legends as Earth, but many doubt it's existence, along with that of a Thirteenth Tribe at all. Everything established has been between the Twelve Colonies of humanity from the believed Twelve Tribes.
Anything concerning the Thirteenth Tribe I strongly recommend not Googling. Just ask me some questions, I'm like a BSG encyclopedia. :laugh:
Thanks. Really digging the space battles so far. 8)
Yeah, they mentioned the Thirteenth Tribe. I figured that since Adama admited to Earth just being a legend, maybe Kobol was really Earth and the humans just left it so long ago they forgot about it.
Dude just wait. That show sucked hours of my life away. :laugh:
Any favorite characters at this point, or are you still getting a feel for everybody?
Not really sure at this point. I like both Adama and Apollo, as well as Starbucks.
And I can't shake the feeling that a crossover with Stargate Universe would be awesome. Especially if Rush and Gaius came face to face.

It was pretty good actually. Also really cool that they finally put an actual legend into the series.
Spoiler
ogopogo
, i was looking up everything about this particual monster legend when i was a lot younger.
Also the characters ain't bad and i love that they speed up the research process because i'm not interested in learning about the anomalies all over again.
On top of all that they release the special effects after every episode that aired. So this makes it really easy for me to have cool creature effects in my movie project ;D

The character of Tom Zerek becomes much larger as the show progresses into later seasons. And yeah, the acting gets good. Really good.
Flesh & Bone; another episode coming up I felt was very good. Some fine acting from Sackhoff. You're also going to meet one of my favorite Cylons.

Six Degrees of Separation
Flesh and BoneAnother batch of good episodes. I especially liked
Six Degrees of Separation.

Can't wait to find out more about the Cylons goals. And where their obsession with love and God comes from. And if the Six in Gaius' head is really a Cylon or just him going insane. And why the President were having dreams about the Cylon in Flesh and Bone. Gah, so many questions. :laugh:
I can see why you liked the Cylon in that last episode,

Now that you're more than half-way through Season One, what are your thoughts? Are you gonna jump right into Season Two? :laugh:
I'm loving it. Great characters and actors, the plot is very interesting (as I mentioned above, there are so many questions at this point, which I like) and I just love the overall tone of the series. It reminds me of Stargate Universe in a lot of ways. Or that would be the other way around, I guess, but I watched SGU first, so... :laugh:
I haven't decided on Season 2 yet. I might wait until the end of the month and get it on Blu-Ray.
Awesome man. Season One is just the tip of the iceberg. Season Three has one of the best season finales I've ever seen. Just how everything came together and the way it was set up was just perfect. And you'll learn much more about the Cylons. And I don't want to spoil too much for you. It's better to see it for yourself.
Shit, now I am getting in the mood to go through it again. :laugh:

You can fight your way through Season 7 of
Supernatural while I watch this. ;)
Supernatural Season SevenMeet the New Boss
Hello, Cruel WorldWell
Season Six ended on an interesting note involving Castiel. And I was looking forward to seeing where it would go. But you were right Laufey. They shot that down within the first episode. I would have loved to see what was happening with Castiel carried out over the course of the season. Heck, he could have been one of the main foes. Sam & Dean face to face with Cass. Sadly it didn't turn out that way. But both episodes were decent enough I felt. Not quite fond of the Leviathans yet. There's nothing really special about them, which sets them apart from other foes the Winchesters have faced before. They remind me a bit of Ghouls; with the 'eating people' thing.
Spoiler
On the bright side, it was nice to see Lucifer again. 8)
Don't worry, you'll see more of him later in the season. ;)
There are some good episodes spread throughout Season 7. The first one would be Episode 5, "Shut Up, Dr. Phil". I don't know if you're a fan of Buffy or Angel, in which case you'll probably enjoy it even more.
I quite liked Angel back in the day. :)
I'm sure you will recognize some of the faces in that episode then.
And while it will take some time before you get to it, try to stay away from spoilers for Episode 17, "The Born-Again Identity". I don't know if they reveal anything important in that episode guide that comes with the disc set, so just a heads up. ;)
Now that you mention it, I'll stay away from that synopsis in the guide. But one of the titles did catch my eye...The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo.
How's that one? :)
It's pretty good. The redhead from Whedon's Doctor Horrible blog plays a nerdy lesbian in it.
The best episode is the one with the Japanese booze demon.

Just wait until Season 2... then Season 3... then Season 4... what I'm trying to say is; she get hotter/more gorgeous with each season. By the end, your mind will be blown.
Also, part 1 of the finale has one of my favorite moments from the entire series and any TV show. It involves Gaius, Boomer, and Six, and that's all I'm saying.
Is that the series finale or the Season 1 finale?
Season 1, so you're nearly there.
Also, one of my favorite episodes, "The Hand of God" is coming up really soon... it has one of the most swelling moments of victory I've ever seen on a TV show-- I literally cheered.

Battlestar Galactica - Season 1Tigh Me Up, Tight Me Down
The Hand of God
Colonial DayA very interesting ending to this last episode...
Spoiler
With Sharon killing another Sharon Cylon. I don't quite get how these work. Didn't they establish that when a Cylon dies, its mind is transported to another body? Well, it seems like each body has a mind of its own.
Also, weren't the more than one BSG Compare? I found the one by
First Blood, but I think
SpaceMarines made one as well. Or was it
Space Sweeper? Does anyone have a link to that?
Spoiler
Yes each Cylon does have a mind of it's own. But it's bound to the body its in. So that consciousness of Sharon that died will go into another Sharon.
There's an episode in Season Two called
Downloaded that goes more in depth about it.
Wait a second. The guy playing Tom Zarek also played Apollo in the original series? Awesome. :laugh:

Ah, it's not the end of the world.
Unless it is, in which case... frak you.
Frak.
The BSG writers were quite ingenious to include frak in the vocabulary :D
I can't remember how much I watched - maybe into S4? I haven't seen any of the spin-offs and I refuse to wiki the series to figure out how it played out. I just might wanna finish the show one day way into the future... I've been saying that to myself for years :)
It would be well worth your time to finish it. ;)

I bloody jumped when she pulled that gun at the end. And I want to know what the deal with the opera house was. I guess that's something they're gonna touch upon in Season 2.
I never expected the show to have such a religious side to it, but I find the whole thing very interesting.
You think it's got a religious side now, just wait until Season 4. :laugh:
The real Ghostbusters. i think i'm running out of good episodes to watch, I hit season 3, and they have totally changed Janine's look, personality and voice actor, and they've also changed the voice actor for Venkman. I think I might have to stop to avoid disappointment, I have looked ahead to some later episodes of seasons 4-7 and it looks like Janine is constantly changing style from now on and i don't like it! :(

Not glad to see Sharon die at the end of the last episode though. She's been through a lot of shit so far. At least she didn't end up as a lab rat.
Ah, you didn't wait too long before jumping into Season Two! Good. I felt Season Two is very good. Things get real interesting once the Pegasus shows up. It also has one of my favorite Adama/Tigh moments which made me cheer.
I'm a bit torn when it comes to Tigh. On one hand he's a grumpy alcoholic, on the other hand he's a very competent officer. Things would be a lot easier for him if his f**king wife wasn't around.

Yup. It's the first disc in my Season Four set. It takes place in the present, but there are also flashback sequences that fill you in on what's going on.
I'm also glad they changed the intro a bit from Season 1. Back then they showed bits and pieces of the episode they were about to show. A good way to ruin some surprises.
Edit: Nevermind, seems like they still are. :-\
I didn't mind that too much. Do you like that they show what's to come in each episode through various quick shots?

On the other hand, I liked Garth.

She's not doing too good a job either. :P
They changed showrunner again for Season 8, I think. Don't know to who.
The best thing to do would be to plan for one great final season and then end it all.
The show just doesn't seem to have the same spark that the first five seasons had. It felt fresh, new and exciting. Now it's kind of weird and boring. The Leviathans don't feel as threatening as they should. I guess I am happy Lucifer shows up to annoy Sam every now and again. But that's not enough. :'(
How is Season Eight at this point?
Season 8 is better than Season 7, but still pretty boring. The bond between Dean and Benny (a new vampire character) is pretty good, but I can't really say I give a shit about Sam or his girlfriend. Looking forward to Castiel's return in next weeks episode however. Provided they don't make him into a villain again. :-\
How would you like the show to end, by the way?
Quote from: Laufey on Nov 10, 2012, 05:53:34 PM
How would you like the show to end, by the way?
That's a tough question. Really it is. There are a few avenues they could explore, which I wouldn't mind....
Spoiler
Sam & Dean could sacrifice themselves to save the world. But this time there would be no coming back or no resurrections.
They could stop hunting and finally live a normal life.
Or it can end with them continuing to do what they do best. Hunting and saving lives.
I'd be fine with those to be honest. As long as the story is logical and backs them up as to why they're doing one of those things, I can accept it.
How would you like to see it end? :)
I'm not really sure. I would love to see Michael and Lucifer back in the game somehow.

Homeland Season 1
Watch the entire season in the last two days.
Nice - how did you like the first season, when watching it in one go?
Oh, Laufey - I think I've figured out something (possible spoilers) ;)
Spoiler
the-hit-and-run subplot - I wondered how it'll fit into the main storyline and suddenly I came to this thought: watching Brody play along with Carrie and the VP to cover it up 'until', might just turn him against these people again. Did you see the look he sent the VP at the party? Watching this guy wiggle himself out of trouble, all in the name of protecting his future presidential candidacy, hell - who can really blame Brody?

Yup, I think that only served to remind Brody of how good the VP is to clear his name when it comes to the death of innocents.

DownloadedThis last episode was very interesting. Let's see if I get things right...
Spoiler
So there are twelve Cylon models and a unlimited amount of copies of each model. But when a copy dies, it gets downloaded into a new body, taking the memories from its previous body with it. But how do the different copies of each model interact with each other? For example, the pregnant Sharon seem to have memories from the Sharon that served on Galactica, while at other times it seems like the Cylon only have the memories from the specific copy they were downloaded from and not from all the copies of a certain model. A bit confused on how this works...

They probably get them from Bobby. But hey, it's not like they are above cheating and stealing in the line of duty.
True. It just seems like it would bring more attention to themselves if they're using stolen cars.
I'm surprised they can move around at all with what happened in Slash Fiction.
Next episode, Repo Man, is pretty good by the way. ;)

Yup. It should be hard enough after having FBI on their tails in previous seasons, but with the killing spree, they would be recognisable to most of America. :-\
I am not sure what the writers were trying to do. Even though they're America's Most Wanted, they're still walking around in public and doing jobs. Of course the Season wouldn't be much if it was just Sam & Dean hiding whilst doing nothing. It would have felt better if they were on the run and felt desperate. :-\

bit over-the-top, even considering the overall spirit of this show. With that said, the Irene Adler episode is probably my favorite of season 2.

So, how do you think they got away with Sherlock's 'death'? Surely, Molly played an integral part and the biker ramming Watson in that pivotal moment gives reason to speculate, that they exchanged the body or something while he wasn't watching.

Just after Sherlock falls to the ground, Watson is hit by a passing bike and knocked to the ground for half a minute, while people surround Sherlock's presumed body, blocking his view. So you just know that Sherlock had everything set up prior to his final meeting with Moriarty - you just don't know exactly how it played out.
Yeah, I've seen that one :D Now, Cumberbatcth and Freeman need to wrap up with this Hobbit nonsense and get moving on season 3, dammit!
What if... The Hobbit is Season 3? :o
Speaking of Season Threes, when do you plan on watching S3 of BSG, Laufey? :)
Hm, I'm not sure. I skipped ahead a bit and read about some stuff that's going on later in the series. Not sure if I liked the direction it is going. Might be a while before I get started on Season 3, if I decide to watch it at all. :-\

I guess I just expected a somewhat more straightforward sci-fi show. The whole mythology I've been reading about just doesn't seem very appealing to me. :-\
Awe, I felt that is one of the best things the show has to offer. It makes you look at the characters (such as the Cylons) differently. The show has a deep complexity to it, that I love. :-\
I guess it's just not my kind of bag.
The complexity that feeds into the main plot, the characters, and the mythology, has always been the show's greatest asset to keep it from being one-track or black and white, but I do understand how that may not be for everyone.
I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep in front of SGU instead...

From what I remember of BSG, I think I got tired of the main plot going nowhere for quite a number of episodes, as in some episodes dealing with story tangents that had no bearing of the overall story arc. Kinda like the 'moster of the week' episodes of X-Files. I also found the politics introduced in the show quite boring in the long run.
Not that I think it was bad - I still wanna finish it some day - but I just grew tired of it, running in circles. The best parts dealt with how cylons were revealed to be living amongst humans (some in disguise) and how the humans dealt with that 'problem'.

Ah, I'm just about ready to give up on Supernatural as well. Or at least wait until Season 8 is released on Blu-Ray. I'm just not feeling it anymore. :-\
On the other hand, I'm about to get started on Doctor Who.
I give up.
You have to admit that the show isn't exactly in its prime right now. Might be more interesting to watch when you got the whole season collected, instead of having to wait another week for yet another mediocre episode. :'(
The quality dropped after Season Five, no question.

The last episode was just awesome. It had everything I wanted, really. Lucifer was there tormenting Sam as per usual, and Cass returns! I loved the scene when he was smiting those demons, whilst flashbacks to his past were showing. That was pretty cool. :)
Yup. And that episode was even better back when it aired on TV, because then you had waited quite a while for Cass to return. And don't worry, he won't stay locked up in that hospital forever.
But Meg. What happened to you, girl? :-\
Yeah, her faced looked really odd. :-[

Spoiler
Can't really tell, I'll have to think about that one. But as soon as they told Saul that he had a sniper rifle cleaning kit in there, I figured that Quinn might be there to take out Brody, should Brody be suspected or revealed to be playing the CIA. A sort of last resort guarantee.
I actually expected this episode to be Brody and Abu Nazir centered, with the two of them sitting across each other, trying to figure out the other guy. But it's kind of cool that we don't really know what they talked about or what will come of their meeting. I don't trust Brody's loyalty at all. He could be playing Carrie&co exactly as devised by Nazir, or Nazir is playing Brody, feeding him info that seemingly sends them on a false trail, believing they've stopped the actual terrorist attack and not just a sly deception. I'm betting the 'real' attack is still 'out there'.
A whole week until the next one, dammit :)

Harrow, I'm guessing.
The Amazing Race
Supernatural Season Seven
Of Grave Importance
Another thing that just hit me as I watched these episodes, besides the dip in quality, was the music. That used to be a big part of the show's indentity. Now it just seems absent or barely used. Because as I'm sure Supernatural fans know, they used to be pulling out awesome musical tracks left and right in episodes.
It's been replaced by the constant "Oh, the Winchesters did something goofy." music. :'(
I'm not sure what that is? :'(
You know that tune that often plays during some of the more comedic moments? It seems like they've been using it a lot in later seasons.
Ah, okay. Yeah.... :(

Revenge
Season 2: Episode 8
"Lineage"
I love this show but I have to admit that this episode was lackluster. There were maybe 2 nice "reveals" but nothing exhilarating and there was no sense of danger in this flashback episode. The problem with flashback episodes is that unless they're further elaborating on a story arc that needs development, they're not always necessary. And this episode was unnecessary (for the most part anyway). There was no sense of danger since we know which characters are still around and where they are standing at this time, and there was no need to explain motives of characters which already had pretty good reasons to be the way they are.
This episode could have been split into smaller segments over the previous episodes and cut down greatly and it would have worked way better.

I have to agree. The second season doesn't have me as hooked as the first season did. But it's decent.
I watched Symbionic Titan today...episode was called LOVE LESSONS...seriously you guys, if you watched the show and liked it but didn't see LOVE LESSONS...watch it. I f**king loved it so damn much, the ending nearly brought me to tears over how awesome it was, it really did bring me so much joy.

Season 8 isn't the same. With Bobby gone and uninteresting flashbacks to what Sam was up to while Dean was gone, the show has lost what magic it had left.
I think I'm just gonna be happy collecting Season 1-5 and let that be it. :-\
What did you think of the booze demon, by the way? That one I actually enjoyed.
I enjoyed the booze demon episode. It had a nice Grudge feel to it. Often creepy at times too. And yeah, not sure if I'm gonna get Season 8 when it comes out on Blu. :'(

Oh man, I LOVE this show.
Dexter - Season 7 - Episode 12 "Surprise, Motherf**ker!"
An awesome and ballsy episode, but it glides around with a bit too much ease at what seemed like a hurried pace. The final scene was pretty breathtaking in nature, but I wasn't feeling the implications of each choice Deb could have made while watching, before and after the event, but Jennifer Carpenter managed to kill it (...) nonetheless... and good Christ she looked oddly sexy doing it. I think it was the dress. Absolutely loved the flashbacks as well, they totally nailed the return to the Season 1 cinematography and lab/station layouts.
Homeland - Season 2 - Episode 12 "The Choice"
Tonight on ShowTime was all about choices, huh? Well here's one I felt the whole way through, every f**ked up, hair tearing, heart-stopping moment of the way through. An perfectly paced and intense episode (what's new, Homeland?) with brilliant character revelations and permanently game-altering moments that there is no going back on. Considering where we've got Saul, Carrie, and Brody now, there are so many ways the series can continue on and with quality intact; something I was worried about if they didn't do a specific thing... which they didn't and made off perfectly anyways. Leave it to the writers of Homeland to dash your expectations and replace it with something infinitely greater. Oh, and if he wasn't before, Saul Berenson has become one of my all-time favorite characters-- Mandy Patinkin f**king kills it.

First 12 episodes of Lost.
The premiere episode intrigued me from the get go. Hooked me a bit by the end, but still wasn't quite sure if I was a fan or not. Then the second one started, and Locke gave his speech. He had me at "Backgammon's the oldest game in the world..."
I swooned and have become bewitched.

The relevance of that speech will echo through the rest of the show. And it just gets better and better... and better.
Yeah, it's really got me hooked. Haven't felt like this about a new show since I first started watching BSG.
It'll be the same feeling at the end, I assure you.

Love the first series, then on it just becomes personal prefrences from then on where they take the show and the pacing.
How do people feel that they were making it up as they went along? I can't get my head around it, I still don't know if it was thats the coolest thing about the show or the worst. Cause it actually wraps up considerably well not just interms off narative but themes as well
Got series 1-4 of breaking bad. Shits going down tonight
Every show is made up as it goes along because the future is never guaranteed. Some time during Sesaon 3 is when they were given a framework for the end of the show, which would be three seasons later. However, even during the uncertain times, they planted seeds and ideas that would later be carried through on; seemingly small at the time, but resonant as major themes to be revealed.
Like Battlestar Galactica (which I can compare LOST to with most ease), it's never a matter of showing uncertainty on the writer's part, but if the viewer wants to go along for the [appropriately] drawn-out ride.
I've recently got into Prison Break.
It's freaking fantastic.

Maybe it was because lost was about this crazy stuff that I wanted too believe they had all that stuff planned out though I understand esspecially on tv you shouldn't relly on future episodes and should rightly put all your effort in making the series in question as good as possible.
I can't imagine watching it during it's original run though it would have been hell as the episodes are very slow in 3 and 4. I'm just so glad that I watched the whole run over a week or so

Indeed it is. Depending on who you may ask, the series goes downhill during Season 3, and fewer may say during Season 2. Personally, from what I remember, Season 2 was my favorite of them all, and the show had always managed to keep things tense. Great memorable characters as well. I can find myself agreeing that the show kinda lost itself during Season 3, but it needed to keep things fresh, and did an admirable job at it, so it's hard to fault.
I should go back and watch the show again after I finish these newer shows I'm starting/getting into.
There's only 3 seasons? :(
I know there is a separate DVD that showcases an entire alternate last episode from the one aired, but only 3 seasons to get to that? :'(
Oh no, there are four full season total, and then there's a DVD-release movie finale as opposed to an alternate one.
Ah, okay. I can live with that :)
I remember watching the first two seasons and really enjoying them. Never bothered with the third, though.

I just want to see restoration instead of the terrifyingly progressive degradation that the characters and the world around them are caught up in.

I've watched four episodes. It's cringe-inducingly unfunny and populated with thoroughly unlikable characters. I suppose it does make a commentary on post-Facebook youth culture, which might have been fresh and sharp, ooh, five or six years ago. I just don't get the attraction though.
Really depends on your life experience, and sense of humour.
Not for everyone, but it's a pretty honest depiction from my point of view, what contemporary tv show provides a similar commentary?
Haven't started watching it yet, but I'll give it a go once I become interested again. My sister owns the DVD, so it's always there if I feel the need to watch it.

Gainax (the studio funding the series) had actually run out of budget at this point thus leading to the seemingly anti-climatic ending. Also this is why there is much reused footage and at the times the characters don't even move their mouths while talking. This is why somethings aren't shown in detail as well and are just quick flashes. Anno felt that it was a good and different way to end it, while still giving the message he wanted to give.
Some of the fans however were pissed with the ending going as far as to send him death threats (this was also while he was in/recovering from depression, which is what lead to the darker tone starting from episode 16 onwards), thus according to some rumors during the production of End of Evangelion he got tired of all that shit and proceeded to make End as both an ending and a f**k you to the people harkening for a different ending.
In other words Evangelion's ending was the 90's version of the Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco.
Just watched it...
Spoiler
...definitely a better ending than Mass Effect 3.
As for what happened with the funding for the series, I had assumed that much in the final two episodes rather than assuming that they actually wanted to end it with something so visually unspectacular and uncertain.
I think everybody's thoughts on the first half of EoE are universally the same; it's f**king incredible, epic, and it's clear where everybody is trying to go. The second half turned into a something much more abstract, it really was the visual interpretation of the final two episodes with a layer of story context over it. It does drip into pretentious areas (that very well may serve a greater meaning) such as reflecting back to the audience by showing clips of [our] reality and the theater audience itself-- being reality as we perceive it... a lot of that, while interesting in how it was layered, wasn't necessarily adding anything to the story that was attempting to be told.
The religious significance went over my head, and I'm wondering if Christianity is an existing belief within the NGE universe or if the presentation of the Angels is what brought the imagery such as Lilith (in replacement of Jesus) being nailed to the cross as opposed to replicating humanity's existing beliefs... oh f**k,
my head.
I also realize that Shinji was forming what reality would ultimately become along with Rei (seemingly mirroring Adam and Eve), and that his mental indecisiveness would be the struggle between having humanity be formed as individuals or as one entity. Particularly appreciated the part where he built the pyramid in the sandbox, representing the GeoFront, it supposedly being where life was formed. Ultimately, chosing individual existence over instrumentality, he returns to Earth, a desolate waste with nobody else around. Though he wished for individuality, he is seemingly the only individual... but beside him is Asuka.
"How disgusting."
To make a horrifying, sad, lonely, and cold ending 'worse', she tops it off with resentment. It kinda takes "not if you were the last guy on Earth" to another level. However, Shinji's ability to percieve others is based on how he sees them; if every other human is gone, is Asuka simply the work of his mind, and her final words to him simply confirmation of the pain and betrayal of returning to individuality? It's all very uncertain to me at this point, but it currently is one of the saddest, most bleak endings. If destiny is the end of all things, what value does destiny hold?

Humanity is destroyed, all that remains is a sobbing boy left to live out the rest of his days in the lonely purgatory he has created for himself and a forever drifting angel. This is quite possibly the most depressing ending I've ever experienced.

Your next ep, Squeeze, is pretty fantastic ;D
I am already wondering who the mysterious informant is. :laugh:
X-Files is pretty solid for at least the first 2-3 seasons. Squeeze is great - and it's got a sequel. :)
Finished Fringe at last. Glad the last 3 episodes turned out the way they did, everything considered. I think my favorite character was the return of an 'old friend' of Walters. I absolutely loved what they did with the character and how it all ended for him. Doesn't help on my sentiment regarding what they did with the Observers though. I still think they are pretty weak and uninteresting villains.

Not really, unless you count the episode with him killing Etta. :-\
I just liked the Observers a lot more when they were mysterious intruders with powers and an agenda we didn't know much about. The more we got to know, the less I liked them as a whole as a concept. I never really got the invasion part...
I suspected Nina was a goner the moment she turned up. To be fair, I thought Astrid would 'take a bullet' for the team as well. It was a given that someone had to be sacrificed to turn op the emotional stake in the audience.
Yep, September/Douglas had killer looks and I enjoyed his sorta subdued mannerisms and voice. He reminds me of David! :D
Favorite thing of mine in this season along with Etta.
Walter walking into the future and giving that look to Peter and seeing them giving eachother that hug when they accept what Walter is destined to do. :'(

Going back to S1+2 as well. I've got those on blu-ray.

I think my tulip confusion is also caused by all the time travel shenanigans introduced. Is or isn't Walter present and alive when the series end with the 'new' reality/ending? Isn't he supposed to be there, just not present in that scene in the field? I could ask many more questions about this single aspect, but I doubt there's a conclusive answer to be found. :D
Spoiler
I think what happened is that he is erased from that part of the timeline, so while he is living in the future no one in the past can remember him anymore. He sends the white lily to Peter, even though I don't think Peter knows what it means or who it's from. It's sad :'(

Spoiler
This is where it gets tricky; if he's erased from that timeline (or part of it), then how did he send the letter to Peter within that same timeline? If Walter in the future is somehow able to 'return' to the past and send the letter, then why doesn't he turn up in person instead?
Something in Peters reaction when he sees the tulip, suggests that he remembers something... or that it triggers something inside him. How and what?

I won't stop. As you can see, I've grown to love it thus far. Despite a few hokey eps here and there. :D
It was more like three quarters.
The show's just not for me. Exact same thing happened with Fringe. Started out intrigued by the concept, but it just lost my interest as the show went on. Not my sorta thing.
How far did you get into Fringe?
I don't quite remember. Somewhere in the first season.
Again, there ya go :laugh: Fringe doesn't start getting good til the tail end of Season one, after which it becomes almost entirely mytharc driven, and the mytharc is (mostly) fantastic.
The first season for a lot shows are always hit n' miss as they're trying to find their footing. Supernatural's first season was okay – and then it really picked up with season two. It was fun to see where they were going.
Fringe from season two to the first half of season three is spectacular. And once X-Files gets its mytharc going in the finale of season one, it does not let up til the second half of season six, where it more or less implodes and starts rebuilding itself into something less interesting.
Adventure TimeAlways good for a laugh. :laugh:

I am very much looking forward to the cigarette smoking man's evil shenanigans, the introduction of The Lone Gunmen, and the tie-ins to
Fight the Future. ;D
Lone Gunmen get introduced in Fallen Angel, which is only a few eps down the line from where you are now ;D
Aye, I might give 'em another go one of these days.
What do you know of Fringe's mytharc, Marines? Because it is barely alluded to til the season one finale. It might be to your liking.

All of those work pretty good in the first seasons. I suspect you'll come to love The Lone Gunmen. At moments, there is a trace of the Bond - Q banter between Mulder and those nerds. :D
I'll be damned if I know how Cvalda is able to tell the episodes apart like she can... Some black magic I suspect...

Maybe my jaded memory is partly explained by the episodes being shown here without title cards. I don't think my UK dvd sets have title cards either, but I would have to check up on that.
I watched the whole series only a few years ago all in one go. :laugh: And then there are the X-Files Nights we have sometimes on MSN.
And no, none of the eps have title cards ;)

Lost S3E05 "Cost of Living"
Spoiler
No, Eko, no! :'(
One of the best characters on the show, and with us for so short a time. This death has hit me harder than any of the other ones.
The X-Files
The Ghost in the Machine
Ice
The X-Files pays homage to The Thing! I thought Ice was an amazingly fun episode. It had a good cast behind it. The tension and paranoia was pretty well balanced. And a director (David Nutter) who would go on to direct various Supernatural episodes. Probably my favorite episode of season one thus far. :)

Louie season 2 and Wilfred season 1.
Louie is god tier, American Wilfred is pleb tier.
I enjoyed the first season of Wilfred, but the second was just dreck. I think I laughed twice throughout the whole thing, and even then, quietly.
I was put off Louie by ads over here suggesting it was another Ricky Gervais crap fest (f**k I hate him), but it seems he's only in two episodes. Hopefully he'll only be in a couple of minutes' footage, so my TV will be able to survive my repeated kicking of it.
He is only in one scene, and it's very brief, Louie is wonderfully weird and it's even more impressive when you find our Louis ck does pretty much everyone in the show even the editing and production.
Can't say I watched much of the American incarnation of Wilfred, all the actuall humourous elements are directly copied from the Australian version, even the second season of the Australian version was testing at times, the whole concept was initially written as a short and it's pretty telling.

Apt description of a night on coke, and im totally cool with anyone taking the piss out of a duo of iPad djay
Bobs burgers
Hahah the mad pooper, The BUTTler, standard bobs burger level hilarious.
Californication
Tim Minchin song was the highlight, and the beauty of grinder lol.
Hollywood Treasures. Can't beleive a battle damaged T-800 from T2 that got six seconds of screen time sold for $180,000. Still amazed on how good of condition it was in.
Mad Men - Season 1S01E01 -
Smoke Gets in Your EyesAn excellent start to this show. I really liked it. The setting, the characters and the music were all great. It took some unexpected turns when it came to the characters and plot as well. For example...
Spoiler
I didn't expect Peggy to hook up with Pete, or Draper to have a family.
Oh, man... Just wait.
The X-Files
Space
I watched this episode last night and it was dreadful, and hilarious. Thank god Veps and Cvalda were there to help me through that horrible, horrible 46 minutes. :D
Fallen Angel
Eve
These were two very good episodes. I loved them both. Fallen Angel was more of a Mulder centric episode with him investigating a potential UFO crash site. Eve was amazing. It starts off leading you towards one direction because of Mulder's theory and it turns out to be something entirely different and clever.

I remember we mentioned Space once when 'talking shop' and yeah, it is really bad.
Just look forward to season 2 - some great episodes in that one and you asked earlier about Mulder's sister? Well, something happens in S2... ;)
Jessica, stop!
No!
Stop!
Why?
Because we need to talk.
Why?
Because there are things you must learn.
Why?
Because you are no longer human.
Why?
Because, as I've been trying to explain to you at length, you have been made vampire!
... Why?
Because you were unlucky. Because life and death are unfair... Because of me.
One Of The Greatest TV Moment IMO!!!
She-Ra
Mad Men - Season 1
S01E02 - Ladies Room
S01E03 - Marriage of Figaro
S01E04 - New Amsterdam
S01E05 - 5G
So far, this show has been great. The characters are very interesting. I finally figured out who it is Pete reminds me of. It's Percy Wetmore from The Green Mile, only not quite as evil.
I cast you as Pete in that Mad Men compare. But you're not nearly as evil as him. :laugh:
I found myself re-watching the pilot episode of LOST this evening. Now I'm just going to have to revisit that series... I might will skip some episodes though...

I watched numerous episodes when I tried to find something to do to counter the debilitating boredom that is a secondary education in science, and I think it's the only show I've ever seen where I hoped for a terrorist attack on a residential building.
I saw one episode where the youngest looking girl was going to lose her virginity and ended up only getting some tongue below decks, but stopped watching after that.

The Constant is outstanding and if he wasn't already by the time I watched it, it made Desmond my favorite character in the show. A real tearjerker.

Oh man, just wait until its in-direct successor in Season 4 "The Constant"-- considered by many to be one of the best (if not the best) episodes in the series.
I can't wait.
Goddamn, Desmond is one of the best characters on the show. Hope they follow him more.
I find it a shame that the two characters they follow the most (Kate and Jack) are two of the ones I find least interesting... :-\
Sweeps is spot-on - The Constant is outstanding and if he wasn't already by the time I watched it, it made Desmond my favorite character in the show. A real tearjerker. Trough The Looking Glass is gonna mess with your mind and feelings as well.
How wonderful it must be to watch this series for the first time and to be able to watch the whole thing in one go. :)
Can't wait for that. Not sure if I could say who my favourite character is, personally. It's really close between a few of the survivors. The frontrunners, off the top of my head, are Desmond, Locke, Jin, Sun, Charlie, and Hurly. Actually, Sayid would be pretty high up there, too... Goddamn, too many fantastic characters.
And yeah, it's great being able to do that. Just last night, I thought I would watch 2 or 3. Wound up steamrollin' through 7. :laugh:
It's just wonderful; as I've said before, haven't felt this way whilst watching a new show since I first went through BSG.

Ahh new ep. The one kid with autism in the first season is amazing, he explains people from the Internet are "Nigerian sex fiends" it's amazing and it's quite cute towards the end when he goes on a date awkward yet cute.
Also the guys with Tourette's I do enjoy the outbursts so inappropriately funny, one goes on a date with a girl who loves Prometheus (clearly she is special needs as well lol jk)

It was just his envisionment of what he would do to be the husband/father his family needed and deserved, thinking his family would be there to actually do it to, but the reality is that they've already given up hope that he would come and left.

Ah, I see. I was thinking along those lines. I looked up the episode on Wikipedia as well and they said he decided not to spend Thanksgiving with his family after watching the slideshow, which didn't seem to make any sense to me.

Well, Richard Alpert's story is really a very... 'human' story. Some very emotional stuff in there. So much suffering. I'd better not say anymore than that - don't wanna spoil or oversell the episode, but it's easily one of my favorites along with
The Constant.
Funny how I re-watched some of the early episodes the other day and noticed tiny details I hadn't really picked up before. :)

Battlestar Galactica S1E04 'Act of Contrition'
Definitely my favorite episode so far. Lots of great stuff involving Starbuck, my personal favorite character so far. Can't wait to see how this one continues!
Dexter S7E1+2Well, it had to come to this revelation for Debra sooner or later. At least I'm thinking this season can't mimick the earlier ones for the same reason. What I'm not getting though, is how Dexter finds the time and motivation to off a guy (in an airport in full view for anyone who would walk in on him in that room, no less) with all the fall out he has to handle with Debra in these 2 episodes.

Gaius is definitely the character I'm most interested in following at the moment, but I'm starting to get a feel for everyone. Starbuck's gotta be my personal favorite.
Gaius remains my top favorite character over the course of the show for various reasons, though I love them all. Amazing character study material as the show wears on.

Dude, I will be forever greatful to you for turning me on to this show. I've never been so emotionally invested in a show and these characters quite like this one. Whilst the finale was amazing I would have loved to see more.
I'm glad they ended it when they did, on their own terms. Would've been terrible to see the show run itself into the ground.
Just curious, is the finale that you guys are talking about the actual series finale, or The Plan?
The Finale. The Plan is a very good post-work, though. It's not quite an epilogue, but it's a great little addendum to watch after everything's over.
Cool.
Kind of upset that I have to wait to long to watch it, though, since I'm getting that opening monologue about the Cylons' "Plan" beat over my head before every episode :P

Lol Louise, great valentines themed ep, possibly the only show that's been giving me consistent laughs the last few eps.
Walking dead.
Lacklustre series return, terrible writing this ep, Andreas dialogue was atrocious, and glens character motivations regarding daryl and merle seemed a little forced, and I lol'd at rick in the final moments of the ep, my love hate relationship with this series continues.
Girls
Terrible episode, overall boring.

Oh yes! That totally caught me off guard when I watched it.
Good that you're about to get to Valley of Darkness, however.
Seems we have another BSG convert. ;D
Glad you're loving it NA.
All this talk about BSG made me look up the series and I realized that I've actually seen all 4 seasons. I remember the last episode vividly, but a lot of the stuff in between is faint at best.
I borrowed 24 season2 and it is somewhat OK. I do absolutely hate the sub-plot with Bauer's daughter getting herself into trouble again. A re-watch for me. Have anyone seen season 7&8 of the series and what are you thoughts on it?

Perhaps I will - but frankly, I remember a lot of 'meh' episodes as well, dealing with sideplots or character arcs that are nowhere as interesting as the ones you
really wanna watch. The absolute highlight of the early episodes was watching Gaius Baltar, all the trouble he would get him self into and his everlasting romantic entanglement with Number Six. And Starbuck is ace!
I can really only think of three, maybe four, 'meh' episodes out of the 75 total. The rest are absolutely fantastic.
Battlestar Galactica S2E01 'Scattered'
An excellent start to season 2 and easily one of my favorite episodes so far.
How I Met Your Mother - Season 1
S01E01 - Pilot
S01E02 - Purple Giraffe
S01E03 - Sweet Taste of Liberty
S01E04 - Return of the Shirt
S01E05 - Okay Awesome
I have seen random episodes before, but I decided it was time to check this out from the beginning. So far, I'm really liking it. Not really a surprise, since I liked what I saw when it was on TV as well.
Black mirror s1 ep3
The entire history of you
wow shits intense.. highly recommended.
Some honest shit right there, and superbly acted to boot!!

S1e2 (15 Million Merits) is the best so far in my opinion, very poignant and powerful with a tremendous production. They're all interesting, thought-provoking and rather depressing though.
Charlie Brooker used to write for PC Zone once upon a time. I miss that magazine enormously.
i found that ep a little slow and fluffy at the start, but the ending was spot on...
Spoiler
anything subversive is co-opted in our current mass media
Still liked ep 3 more, all those feelzzz
Lost S5E12-13 "Dead is Dead" and "Some Like it Hoth"
Fantastic episodes. Always love getting more Ben backstory, and it was great to finally get some insight into Miles' life.
How I met Cobie smulders's cleavage.
Battlestar Galactica S2E02 'Valley of Darkness'
I think this is the moment where I completely fall in love with the show. And the music was especially beautiful this time around.
Kobol encapsulates everybody's love, if they haven't already gotten to that point.
It's like Apocalypse Now in space.
It won't be too long now, until you meet one of my favorite characters. Among many in that show. :)
Lost S5E14-15 "The Variable" and "Follow the Leader"

and Sweeps you MUST check this episode out...two words...Gaius Baltar.

Lost S5E16-17 "The Incident"
Well holy f**k, this was the best season finale yet. It took all I had not to just start up season 6, right then and there.
Don't you mean 5?
What're you talking about?
<_<
>_>
Finished Season 1 of How I Met Your Mother. Excellent stuff. :)
The final episode in season two of the walking dead.
Battlestar Galactica S2E03 'Fragged'
Been a few days since I've watched an episode, but I finally had time to squeeze another one in. Loved it. The stuff on Kobol was great, especially Gaius' and Chief's roles. And I'm very interested in seeing more of this mythology, now that its really beginning to take a forefront.
Finished season 2 of Transformers G1 at 4am last night. Nacho cheesey goodness.
Black Mirror S2E1
Be Right Back
Captain America's Hayley Atwell plays the part of grieving widow who brings her partner Ash back to life with an online service that lets people stay in touch with the deceased. By using all of his past online communications and social media profiles, a new "Ash" can be created virtually.
Many feels in this ep, although as with the rest of the series its a dark satire on our reliance on technology, it kind of leaves you with an empty feeling, very haunting.

Finished the OVA - can't believe how much I enjoyed this show. These characters are great and each one is someone to care about in whatever way you want. I'm going to cut this short and say that I am glad I got to see this show, and I love these characters so much that I can't wait to see more of them.
Battlestar Galactica S2E04 'Resistance'
Holy Frak, that was an excellent episode. Lots of great character development (Tigh and Chief especially). Can't wait to see what happens next, especially with Roslin's story.
Battlestar Galactica S2E05 'The Farm'
One of my favorite episodes yet. Genuinely creepy, and had a lot of interesting development for my favorite character.
Finished How I Met Your Mother - Season 2.
Loiter Squad
It's like Jackass, but with black guys. :D
Lost S6E09 "Ab Aeterno"
This was one of the best episodes yet. Ever since his first appearance, Richard had left quite the impression on me, and I only grew to like him more as the series went on and his character developed. It was fantastic to finally get a glimpse at his backstory, see why he's on the Island and what his motivations are. I'm hoping this isn't the only episode focused on him, but considering how many are left, that's probably the case. Either way, this was wonderful.
One of my favorite episodes of the series. First half felt like something completely different, and it gave him the perfect amount of character development at the right time.
Yeah. Knowing this about him now just changes how I see him in previous episodes.
Man, I can already tell, this is a series that will do well with rewatches.
Spoiler
I'm really curious where the parallel universe story is heading, as well. Really hope it's building up to something.

Lost S6E11-14 "Happily Ever After", "Everybody Loves Hugo", "The Last Recruit", "The Candidate"
After a bit of a slow and shaky start, this season has turned out to be absolutely fantastic. A string of brilliant episodes in a row. It was so refreshing to finally see Desmond again in "Happily Ever After". His character has always been a favourite, and continues to grow more loved.
As for that last episode, well...

HOLY SHIT, THE TEARS. :'(
Sayid went out in spectacular manner, finally redeeming himself. But good Christ, Sun and Jin. I didn't see that coming. At all. I feel like someone just stabbed me through the heart and then twisted. f**king hell... Such a beautiful ending for those two.

So umm, I think between the discussion you guys are having and the persuasion from a friend of mine I'm going to watch Lost once I finish BSG.
I was originally planning on Supernatural next (mostly because of Shas, FB, and the same friend), but since that's still going and Lost is ended, I think I'd rather catch up on that before getting into something still ongoing.

Judging by your reaction to BSG, I'm sure you're gonna love it.
Lost is the only show I can think of that's comparable to
Battlestar Galactica in the feelings they gave me while first watching. They're also tonally and thematically quite similar.

So I've heard. My friend's Netflix account is actually on my XBox, so I may wind up just using that to watch
Lost and
Supernatural; maybe over the summer, when I (hopefully) actually have some free time.
Now
you, sir, should watch TWD's third season ;)
I remember your comments on XBox last week about your dislike of some of last season's stuff, but this season so far has been the best yet in terms of character development, pacing, and just overall direction of where the show is going.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just finding it hard to motivate myself to watch it. It just completely lost my interest.
I'd say give it another chance, probably in about a month when the season's over, and give the first half or so a go. If it doesn't hook you, then the show's just not for you :)
And if you do decide to give up on the show for good, skip ahead and just watch tonight's episode (episode 12). It is fairly standalone, and I think it'd probably be one of your favorites.

Lost S6E17 "The End"
This was a beautiful ending. Simply beautiful. Not perfect (I found some of the sideways stuff to be rather silly), but very very good. Moving and touching and emotional. Up there with BSG's finale in my eyes. I honestly cannot see how this got such a huge negative reaction. Sure, there were a couple of loose ends, but that's to be expected with a show that has this grand a scale. I guess it was just people didn't want to believe it was really over. I find myself feeling rather sad about the whole thing, too. It's weird thinking that there's no more; that I've completed one of television's greatest epics. But hell, I can always watch it again. I have the feeling this is the kinda show that I'll come back to year after year.
Lost Epilogue "The New Man In Charge"
Goddamn, this was awesome. "The End" truly was the end of the show, but this was a perfect little epilogue to tie up all those little loose ends I mentioned before. Fantastically written and greatly interesting, this is a great post-script to a truly great series. Left me with a sense of a story that's not yet over, simply a chapter finished.

No freaking question. He's the man, and a chameleonic actor.
Luther jumps the shark a bit towards the end of the first season, but keep going, because the second (which is comprised of two largely self-contained mini-movies) is quite brilliant.

What happened with Cameron's chip and John Henry? How did they plan to stop J-Day, what went wrong?! Did Sarah die of cancer in the end? There's so many questions and possibilities

It was nice to see Derek come back, though. Apart from that I'm going to cry myself to sleep at the fact they cancelled it, and made Salvation instead. Now there's maybe a fifth film coming, with arnie? FOR THE LOVE OF ZOMBIE JESUS JUST RENEW THE SHOW INSTEAD.

The Legend of Korra Book One, Chapters 7-10 "The Aftermath", "When Extremes Meet", "Out of the Past", "Turning the Tides"
Started watching the series last week. Took me a couple episodes to warm up to it and get used to how different it is from
The Last Airbender. But holy shit, I'm in love now. The animation is superb, the fights exciting and intense, the backdrops and scenery beautiful, the story compelling, the characters relatable (although there's one or two I find incredibly irritating; but they have small roles), and the humour perfectly balanced with the serious. These past few episodes were all just exceptional, with moments where I'm laughing my head off, pumping my fist in the air in joy, or suppressing the growing lump in my throat. This has quickly become one of my favourite series.
Spoiler
And good Christ, the ending of that last episode. Iroh (who is obviously Zuko's son) leading the fleet back to Republic City, voiced by Dante Basco!

Okay, I didn't know you weren't aware of Clancy Brown and Lance Henriksen--? Were you watching with earplugs and subtitles? :laugh:
Was too distracted by the painted backgrounds.
Also, Clancy was using an accent for his role. Didn't quite sound like him. Sorta like how it doesn't quite sound like him when he does Mr. Krabs.

Neon Genesis Evangelion E01 "Angel Attack"
Well, that was interesting. There were elements that I found interesting, but nothing has really grabbed me yet. It was very strange, and I wasn't entirely sure what was going on. A few of the dub actors were very irritating, as well. Music was good, though. Gonna watch some more of this, but based off what little I've seen, not liking it too much. I have a feeling it'll get much better though, judging by the reception of the series I've heard on the boards.

With all those rumors of T5 being an alternate timeline of sorts, they might as well tie it in to the show.
Wait, another alternate timeline? Would this one also be picking up post-T2?
I doubt it. The rumors were calling for a not dead Kyle Reese along with Sarah Connor being a part of it. Haven't heard anything else regarding this though.

To be honest, that was basically my exact same reaction after the first episode (which I why I didn't post about it); I gradually got worked in more and more until the sixth episode, Rei II (where I can safely say I was invested) and then that one just grabbed me completely. It takes time to get initiated but it's completely worth it when you get there. As I said about the voice actors, they were on the two episode recording schedule without a synopsis of the character to go off of, so they grow into their roles as the series goes along-- Misato especially, since in the first coulple episodes she appears to be a kinda-crazy party girl type, though this is only her trying to make Shinji comfortable and provide a relatable companion; down the line she really
does fall into the role of a commander and the voice work is incredible from everyone.

Well, after being somewhat disappointed by the first episode, I finally see what all the big hullabaloo was about. This show has just been getting better and better as it goes along. I'm very much enjoying just about every moment (some irritating scenes aside). I won't say that I'm in love with it, but I can easily see that happening if this exponential increase in quality continues.

Battlestar Glactica S2E06-08 'Home (Part 1)', 'Home (Part 2)', and 'Final Cut'
Been far too long since I've watched an episde, so I made up for it by watching three. I absolutely loved the two-parter; that actually felt like season finale material. Can't wait to see comes next. And 'Final Cut' was another really good one. The news report at the end actually had me tearing up a bit, and then mere seconds later my jaw dropped.
Ha yes. Dat Lawless.

I agree; that's something BSG does really well, it has these arcs that overlap eachother making new ones as soon as another finds its resolution and does it in grand fashion. Gotta love the moment when Adama decides to head to Kobol and bring the fleet back together.

The moment where Adama stops in the empty hallway and feels his wound right before making the decision... the look on Dee's face before making the call... love it. Moments like those are what the series is all about.
Battlestar Galactica S2E09 'Flight of the Phoenix' and S2E10 'Pegasus'
'Flight of the Phoenix' was a pretty cool episode. And then 'Pegasus'... holy shit :o
EDIT: I just pulled out the Season 2.5 Box Set, and looked at the first episode. Its titled 'Pegasus: Extended Episode'... would I have been able to just watch that instead of the one in the 2.0 box set? Not that I'm complaining; it was one of the best episodes yet, so I have no problem watching an even longer version next.
Pegasus was cool. Just wait until you see those two ships go to war. 8)

Well, yeah, I really like this. Not much more to say. Although I can't stand Asuka. At all. Irritating to her core. I really, really, really, really hope she becomes a better character.
YOU MOTHERf**kER >:(
I assume that's in reference to Asuka.
Yeah. Every time she talks, I cringe.
I really hope that's just because I'm still before the point where the actor really got a feel for the character. I mean, I really really hope that. Because she's a big role. A big role that I cannot stand to listen to.
Well she gets taken down a peg by being horribly depressed, but it's because of Shinji, so she continues to antagonize him. However, if it's really the character that you're having the issue with, she'll require some understanding; though a lot more is revealed toward the end, a bit of psychoanalysis, as with the other characters, will be required.
She's easily one of my favorites and I thought her voice actress did an awesome job in the end. I guess I never found her irritating at the start because I like those kinds of characters.

Game of Thrones Season One
Lord Snow
Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things
The Wolf and the Lion
A Golden Crown
Things are starting to pick up! This was when the show really started to take off. I forgot how much I f**king love Syrio and Bronn. Two minor characters with very different personalities but memorable in their own way.
Top of the Lake - episode 1
So this is what a TV series mounted by an Oscar winning auteur is like -- awesome. Jane Campion, director of masterpieces both revered (The Piano) and frustratingly under-appreciated (Portrait of a Lady) makes the jump to TV in stunning form -- this is probably the most visually beautiful drama on television in ages (dear god, New Zealand is gorgeous), and the cast is fantastic: Elisabeth Moss, Holly Hunter (re-teaming with Campion after twenty years, finally), Peter Mullan and David Wenham.

Bates MotelS01E01 -
First You Dream, Then You DieIt was surprisingly good. Both Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore did a good job with their characters. I haven't seen Psycho in its entirety yet, so I don't know how well Highmore captured the performance of the original Norman Bates. Right now I'm satisfied judging this show on its own merits however. The story was decent and the last shot was intriguing. I wonder if...
Spoiler
...that's what the future have in store for Norma Bates or if it is the girl from school that Mother is taking care of.

Engaging as f**k. Just about everything in this first episode I ended up liking, from the characters, to the f**king setting, so much right. Can't wait to see in what directions this show goes off to, because it's already laid a path for so many freaking story-lines.

I've seen
The Piano and
In the Cut. Wasn't fond of the latter but I quite liked
The Piano.
In the Cut is considered her worst film, The Piano her masterpiece. I think Portrait of a Lady is brilliant, though, and horribly underrated. I really recommend you see it. Nicole Kidman and Barbara Hershey are fantastic in it.
Top of the Lake is way closer to The Piano than it is to In the Cut, as well. The visuals and cinematography alone are epic and more cinematic than anything else done for a TV drama maybe ever.

I will give
Top of the Lake a watch this weekend. How is Holly Hunter in it? I wasn't quite sure what to make of her from the trailer alone.
She's not featured too heavily so far, but she's definitely interesting. The scenes with her and her camp are great.
Seen sleeping beauty, the film she produced? :P
No, I haven't. It's on the list, though :P
On my list too.. the bits i've seen have been very creepy.... :P
Sleeping Beauty is utter garbage.
Game of Thrones Season One
You Win or You Die
"...I did warn you not to trust me."
And with that, my jaw was on the floor the first time seeing that moment. One of my favorite episodes of season one. It's when everything began to fall apart at the seams for the Stark Clan, and the realm itself. Here is where Joffery & Cersei become two of the most detestable characters in the show.
At least Cersei has her cheekbones. Joffrey is just a dick. :laugh:
Battlestar Galactica S2E10 'Pegasus: Extended Episode'
One of the best the show has to offer made even better with a few added sequences. Hoping to watch both parts of 'Resurrection Ship' later tonight.
YES. They must be watched back to back.
Finished Transformers Prime season 2, I am ready for season 3. This will be the last of the robot things I will be watching for awhile.
Battlestar Galactica S2E11-12 'Resurrection Ship: Part 1' and 'Resurrection Ship: Part 2'
That was a great two-episodes right there. Especially at numerous points in the second half where I could hear my heart beat getting more and more intense. I am quite happy that things wound up going the way that they did.
I really do love this show.
I love how it's really Baltar who indirectly ends the conflict between Pegasus and Galactica by sending his newfound vengeful assassin friend after Cain. Such a layered form of self-preservation and just another part of Baltar's [nervous] genius. Sometimes even the viewer doesn't realize when it's going on. Amazing character... and how about that assault on the Resurrection Hub?! :o
Fantastic. Glad you're loving it. One of the best shows ever. And I am not exaggerating.
Game of Thrones Season One
The Pointy End
Baelor
Fire and Blood
Well Season One is over, and I enjoyed rewatching it so goddamn much. The characters, the plots, deception, music etc. Everything really - you couldn't ask for a better season. Most shows it takes a season or two to find their footing. Nope not this. It was f**king perfect from episode one.
And Ser Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) reminds me so much of a Jedi Knight. Something about the way he carries himself, and the overall look of the character. This guy needs to be in the new Star Wars movie. :laugh:

Battlestar Galactica S2E14 'Black Market'
Interesting episode and had a moment towards the end that I was certainly not expecting, but it felt a bit weak coming off some of the excellent episodes that I just finished up.
Yeah, that one's among the series' weakest episodes. Lee doesn't really work as a central character until the Season 3 finale where the writers (and really, he) finds his place.

Aye, a weak one.
But on the bright side, Bill Duke! (Even if he was somewhat wasted...)
He was very wasted, yes.
I'm just sad that BSG Noir didn't work out.
Not to its full potential. Duke needed more episodes I would think.
I don't think so. I think the episode's biggest failing is feeling like filler and focusing on aspects of characters that we didn't care enough about. Duke did what he had to, but wouldn't have served any purpose as a side villain in any more episodes. When you've got deceptive Cylons and backstabbing political/military intrigue in an interstellar fleet, a money grabbing gangster is a minor distraction.

Yup!
I should also mention that I only ever label episodes as 'filler' when I've seen what comes after them. Some people (a lot of people) mistakingly label episodes as filler simply because they don't rely on massive setpiece moments or monumental game-changes, but they could be episodes that are absolutely essential to telling a story properly.
Case and point? The Breaking Bad episode "Fly". The critical reception pins it as one of the series' best episodes, but most people you ask about it will dismiss it as filler... to which I ask, "did you even watch the f**king episode?"
Haven't seen any of that so I can't speak for it. :P

I agree with that. I think I mentioned this to SpaceMarines on XBox a while back... I absolutely love him as a character, but he kind of feels to me like he is intended to be the lead but can't really find his footing in that position.
I was actually just thinking earlier today (yesterday, actually...frakin' timezones) that the show doesn't really have a main character. There's plenty of ensemble series (
Firefly and
The Walking Dead, for example) that have a clear main character to balance out the cast, but
Battlestar Galactica doesn't really have that.
Game of Thrones S01E06-08 "A Golden Crown", "You Win or You Die", "The Pointy End"
I f**king love this show.
Just been watching through all season 1 and 2 of Game of Thrones on glorious Bluray (I swear it looks and sounds better than the HD TV broadcast). It's so much more enjoyable and rewarding when you really know what's going on, who everyone is, and have a thorough grounding in Westerosi history and lore. The interactive guide on season 1's Bluray is very helpful in that regard.
It's also great to be able to watch through them seamlessly without ad pauses (even if it just means fast forwarding), which breaks the immersion, and back-to-back, which negates my problem of spending too little time with each set of characters per episode. It does play like each season's intended for consumption as one giant movie, rather than a weekly serial.
However, I say this as a great lover of boobs, but the next season needs to cut back on unnecessary sex (and even when necessary, they could do with toning it down a bit). It was funny and (usually) pertinent in Rome, but it's just awkward in Thrones and lowers the tone.
Uh... there's no commercials to fast-forward through. HBO don't have them. ;)
But yeah, it's incredibly rewarding to rewatch this show. I get a better feel for all the characters and places each time I do; makes it much more enjoyable.
Also agreed on the unnecessary sex. It works in certain places, but they just throw way too much in. Especially when you consider the amazing scenes and sequences from the book that they cut (the Tower of Joy, the Wildlings chasing Jon through the caves, the foreshadowing/prophecy in the House of the Undying). If they had had half as many sex scenes in the first two season, I'm certain they could've fit all of those in, easily.
The Walking Dead Season 3 episode 1.
I've started watching this again ever since playing the Walking Dead episodes.
Just in time for the finale next week! :P
Game of Thrones S01E09-10 "Baelor", "Fire and Blood"

Game of Thrones S02E01-03 "The North Remembers", "The Night Lands", "What is Dead May Never Die"
Goddamm, I love this show so goddamn much.
Watched The Night Lands last night. Such a great show.
Davos Seaworth is the f**kin' man.
Just watched a couple of episode commentaries myself. Headey/Dinklage/Marshall, Clarke/Taylor and Leslie/Harington/Taylor. All good fun. I completely forgot that Neil Marshall directed Centurion until he mentioned it in the Blackwater episode.

Supernatural - Season 7 - Epsiode: "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo"
A pretty awesome episode, and I thank TNT for playing the episodes of season 7 so I can catch up. Hehe, house-cleaner bombs. Leviathans scare the crap outta' me..
Top of the Lake - episode 3
Only in this show can you witness the spectacle of Peter Mullan, high on hallucinogens, dry humping the forest floor in his underwear. lulz
Can't wait for next week.
Game of Thrones Season Two
What is Dead May Never Die
Pretty solid episode. The baptism of Theon Greyjoy was both one the best yet heartbreaking moments in the episode. It was sad to see him turn his back on Robb.

The Mentalist
Season 5 Episode 18: Behind the Red Curtain
Fantastic episode with a nice moment at the end of this episode that can go one of many ways but it feels like a giant red herring to me.
Revenge
Season 2 Episode 17: Victory
This episode caught me by surprise with a lot going on but it was all handled perfectly and didn't feel over-saturated.
Really impressed with the quality of both shows at the moment and I'm going to miss them when their respective seasons end and they go off air for a few months until the next season.
Top of the Lake
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
This was great, by episode three I hooked. Expertly shot, it features a great cast around it; with the acting talents of Holly Hunter, Elisabeth Moss, and a very creepy Peter Mullan. By the time Mullan was strung out on hallucinogens, I knew this was crazy good.
Looking forward to more!
YESSSSSSSS. Can't wait for episode 4! Hnnng!
Game of Thrones Season Two
Blackwater
They went with the right director in choosing Neil Marshall (Centurion) for this episode. I loved everything about it. The drums to counter the bells. Bronn shooting the arrow to ignite the wild fire. Tywin riding in like a badass to save the day. Everything prior to leading up to this point was just perfect. And when the time came, this episode didn't disappoint.
Yup, it was awesome. The wildfire pretty much blew me away. 8)
Watched Blackwater again. Blood, guts and asses everywhere. ;D
I loved how The Hound would literally chop people in half, with one slice. :laugh:

Richard Roman, my best friend hates his guts, and I'm strangely attracted to him. This show... I don't even know anymore. I know Cas is broken, but it's funny as hell.
Yeah, things kinda go downhill after Season Five.

Walking Dead Season 3 Finale
4/10
Disappointing finale. The laziness was clear, writers had no idea what to do with a certain character, so they do the obvious. They had no idea how to write how a group would survive against a much larger force...the result was something so lazy, that I should have f**king stopped watching altogether.

BSG S1 Finale P2
That final scene. Gawd. Always.
Orphan Black - episode 1
After being spoiled by the epic, cinematic scope and tone Jane Campion brings to Top of the Lake, I was somehow expecting this new series with a dynamite concept to follow in the same mold -- but no, this is resolutely, depressingly TV-ish, in all its slapdash, over-stylized "glory". It's got all the hallmarks of inexplicably hyped British genre television, including cheesy editing effects, madly rushed pacing, and kooky characters who crack wise and don't take the dire situation they're in at all seriously enough, because irony is amazeballs. But it's trashy fun, and who knows, it might improve as it finds its legs in later episodes.

Yeah it was pretty bad. Wouldn't even mind if it was canceled right now and this was the series finale. This show has no end goal. It's just a group of people surviving one shitty situation after another.. Not saying that I hate it but the writing and characters are so inconsistent.
The game of thrones episode on the other hand was pretty amazing. Loved how they handled the

white walker fight. Just through Sam's perspective with him escaping and getting saved by the nights watch. Not actually showing the the fight itself. Also the big reveal at the end was pretty awesome :D

Episode Four of the highly acclaimed
Top of the Lake and it's excellent. I really enjoyed the opening of the episode. The dinner scene between Al and Robin was very good. That's a relationship I look forward to seeing more of. This really was Elizabeth Ross' episode. She's f**king amazing in it. The scene at the bar is another stand out moment. The story behind what happened to her only enhances that scene and makes it so much better. Then they tease
another revelation involving Johnno but don't reveal what happened. Goddamn it!
And Peter Mullan goes batshit insane in this one.
You DON'T put de' cups back properly! De' handles face OUT!But...

It's so good. Fourth Episode has to be my favorite so far.
Just watched the first episode. Eh, I don't know. So far I've found it somewhat boring, slow and bleak. I might give it another episode, but I don't think this is a show for me. :-\
Revenge
Season 2 Episode 18: Masquerade
I love this show so much. It's an intense journey filled with grey characters. What I really find refreshing on the show is the dynamic between various characters. There is a campy, soap opera element to the show but, somehow, it works.
Episode 18 was really theatrical and got the ball rolling and ready to wrap up certain story arcs over the next 4 episodes. It was beautifully written and made a wonderful reference to the first season. The episode's major location - the Grayson Manor masquerade party - was shot really well and perfectly captured the campy, yet authentic, spirit of the show. I'm so thankful the director didn't go the typical route with the half-masks - "Oh no, that person is covering half their face, so I don't recognise them." The masks (and sometimes removal of the masks) merely served as a metaphor. One particular moment that worked really well was when a character was sitting maskless listening to a conversation between two people (just around the corner) who too had their masks off.
My only concern at this point is that the show needs to wrap things up. I think one more season would be long enough to give everything closure. A fourth season would be pushing it (in terms of quality) but is still doable. Anything beyond a fourth season would just kill the pacing of the show.
I still need to watch Top of the Lake (which I left for too late last night). :'(

It's awesome.

Well it's a political drama shown primarily through the perspective of a cold, cunning, and hilariously weary Majority Whip, so it throws a really nice twist on everything and works brilliantly for television... the characters are really what drives it.
It's such a cutthroat and cloak & dagger presentation of Washington's elite, and that provides something endlessly watchable. I'm loving it, and if any of what I just mentioned appeals to you, the feeling will be mutual.

Well, I've only seen one episode of this show, but I already really like it.

Doctor Who Season 1 "The Edge of Destruction", "The Brink of Disaster"
Of the three Classic Who serials I've watched so far, this one was definitely my favourite. Even with the quite evident shoestring budget and single-take shots, this worked immensely well in creating a tense atmosphere. The most absorbing and attention grabbing one yet, and (unlike the first two) it didn't feel dragged out or overlong. Wonderful piece of old school television.

Top of The Lake theory that contains spoilers.Spoiler
I honestly believe that David Wenham's character is the one who got Tui pregnant. He's close friends with the family, as we already know, and I do believe that the close relationship he has with the family; he abused it on Tui. He pretty much disrobed Elizabeth Moss, so we know this guy's a creep, and possibly did worse than change her clothes. We already know that Tui is not somebody that would rat out anyone. In the first episode we see Peter Mullan ask Tui if she said anything, and she basically said no. Now of course some people would take that as a hint that maybe Mullan had something to do with the whole situation, and FB seems to think that he does, but we all know why he asked her if she said anything, and it has to do with that secret Meth Lab in his home.
Last episode, Campion tries to throw you a curveball by having one of Mullan's sons tell him that he's seen him in and out of Tui's room from time to time. I am not gonna buy any of that bullshit, because I think Campion knows that everyone was thinking that Mullan got Tui pregnant in the first episode. Now she's just trying to re-inforce those thoughts because she knows she needs to keep us surprised.
In summary: David Wenham took advantage of the close relationship he has with the family, and Tui got the worst of it.
My guess:
Spoiler
Johnno raped Tui. And Robin will have to confront him over it, her heart in tatters.
Or something.

Ugh, so it's gonna be some typical shit with Robin having to cry for who knows how long as she yells at him for being a f**king asshole?
NOPE
She gets her face splattered with blood from the previews, so I think it's safe to say the confrontation that happens is gonna be a bit more dramatic than that.

It can't be him though, it's too lame. He's not even that great of a character to begin with, and no matter which way Campion takes him, he's going to stay boring.
My theories:
Spoiler
The more I think about it, the more I stick with my original theory that Al Parker did it. He abused his professional position and his close relationship with the family. Also notice how he's trying so hard to get close to the character most focused on solving this case?
OR
Cvalda is right and Jane goes the "Johnno did it" route and have the person she's so close to tear her apart with this revelation.
I personally hope it's the former but more than anything I hope that it's neither of the two and that the finale completely surprises me. >:3

You can just say, "I agree with Shadow."
But I don't think Cvalda's theory is the way the show should go, we already have his character having something to hide from Robin, and it has to do more with what happened at Prom Night than with current events, otherwise the flashbacks would be completely pointless to have him be there.
There was one fan theory I read that I thought would have been a brilliantly bitter ending: it would be revealed that Tui was dead, and she wasn't actually murdered by anyone. Instead, the women at Paradise tried to give her an abortion and accidentally killed her.
That's definitely not how it's going to pan out now, but I liked the tragic, horrible quality of that idea.

Would have been bitter as f**k, but it would definitely be great since it gives the women of paradise an actual reason to be there besides being an excuse to just cast Holly Hunter, and having them being yelled at by Peter Mullan.

:P I do agree with you but just wanted to add the bit about wanting to get close to Robin (not only on a physical level). And let's not forget Al's behaviour when interviewing Jamie. There could very well be a ring at play and the lies could have become too much for Wolfgang, who commited suicide. So Al could very well be the leader of this ring.
And on the subject of the women of Paradise, like Shadow pointed out... why are they even there? :S
To be yelled at by Peter Mullan, and for Holly Hunter to act batshit crazy.
We'll have to see if they play an important role. But on a symbolic level they are part of Campion's portrait of women reacting to patriarchal abuse. Contrast the way they deal with their pain with the way Robin does, etc.

Okay, so some predictions:

- The baby is born and the case is wrapped up.
- Tui gets killed.
- Al Parker is the man responsible for raping and impregnating Tui. He gets arrested.
- The final shot will be Robin walking into the ice-cold lake and standing there waiting to die.

Spoiler
Well this case has already been hitting her hard. She connects with Tui on a personal level and even projected her own sexual abuse onto the case. If it turns out that Al Parker or Johnno is responsible for raping and impregnating Tui, she would feel an enormous amount of guilt and self-doubt with regards to her judgement on those close to her. I think that on top of the death of her mother and her dark past is enough to send her into a dark place where she feels there's no way out but death. And if anything else was to happen to Tui, that would be even more reason. She's a strong character but I think it could very well be her breaking point.
I was reading a review on The New York Times and this was mentioned:
QuoteMost of the elaborately introduced plotlines fizzle out (or simply vanish), and the final surprise is the worst kind of twist ending, arrived at arbitrarily and seemingly presented for its shock value.
Spoiler
This makes me nervous and could very well mean that Campion took the Johnno route after all.
But, on a good note, I did read on a different site that GJ's somewhat aloof knowingness fits into the story after all. I just hope it's true and that she has a significant role in the story after all.

Episode 7The finale of
Top of the Lake did not disappoint. With a show as disturbing and raw as this one, the only fitting ending would be something disturbing and raw.

That was really unexpected! Going into a little more detail:
Spoiler
Robin and Johnno both handled the news very differently. Robin clearly didn't want to believe it and she seemed to be in a stage of denial jokingly calling Johnno her brother while leaning in for a kiss. Johnno was repulsed and got up and left after a failed attempt at sex with Robin. That moment right after he leaves and she is left laying on the bed sobbing, and probably in a state of self-loathing, is difficult to watch.
Top of the Lake - episodes 6 & 7 (finale)
Jane Campion, you twisted, magnificent bitch. After 5 episodes of buildup, she unleashes one brutal plot development after another, one harrowing chase sequence through the mountains (Jaime :'(), a heartbreaking relationship reveal, and a masterly (if last minute) detour into some seriously depraved territory that a lesser filmmaker would stumble with. I cannot wait to watch this series again in one sitting -- this is less a TV series than it is an epic 6 hour long film. This stands next to The Piano and Portrait of a Lady as the greatest thing she has done.
Top of the Lake episodes 6 and 7.
Things really hit the fan in these two episodes, and everything finally came to a head. All the build up to the ending was unexpected, but for the f**ker responsible, we all saw it coming. Overall, I have enjoyed this series so much, that I almost wish that it could be longer. I almost just want to edit all the episodes together into one long freature..holy shit, it was so good. I did have a thing or two I felt was a bit out of place, mostly the big reveal about the whole Robin and Johnno thing, it felt completely unnecessary to even add that, but I guess Campion needed to make sure Robin was going to get a mental breakdown somehow.

Yessss!!! >:3
After I let the episodes simmer for a while in my mind, I recall something that bugged me a little. Georgi Kay playing a character who is just there, strumming away on her guitar singing two songs. It just felt a little odd. But not enough to hinder my appreciation of the episodes.
Well, she was introduced early on. Just a cool background character.
And FB HATED the ending :'(
When a viewership faces a split between loving and hating an ending, I'm usually on the loving side.
Usually always. We'll see.
I just don't see how you can hate the ending, though. It's shocking and horrific, but it's not exactly something left field. Campion has been hinting EVERY EPISODE that it is coming.
Based on that, yeah, I'll love it.
Also based on that, it's the case with every other story I had in mind.
FB, explain yourself! :'( </3

Spoiler
There's been enough hardship for Robin and Tui and just having them deal with how messed up they are after all these events is enough of a bleak ending. There's a lot they have to work through individually and together (assuming she takes Tui under her wing). And the ending felt natural to the progression of the story. It maintained the tone of the series but turned the notch up and went a little darker, which was appropriate.

There's a lot they have to work through individually and together (assuming she takes Tui under her wing). And the ending felt natural to the progression of the story. It maintained the tone of the series but turned the notch up and went a little darker, which was appropriate.
Exactly.

Battlestar Galactica S2E19-20 'Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 1' and 'Part 2'
Whoa...that was not at all the finale that I was expecting. But I loved it. Absolutely loved it.
Defiance - Pilot
SyFy Channel's newest romp. I liked it quite a bit. Not nearly as complex (or as good as BSG) but it was entertaining enough.

Ah, man, shit gets
real good right after this. ;D
Word of advice; try and watch the first four episodes of Season 3 back-to-back-to-back-to-back. They're pretty much a film within the show.
Also, there's
The Resistance webseries, which bridges the gap between the seasons. May want to watch that first, as well. Pretty sure it should be on one of the DVDs.
Yup, I remember you telling me about the first four episodes; definitely going to save them for a day when I have the time. Very excited for it!
I'll try to get those webisodes watched as soon as possible. Maybe even today :)
I say watch the webisodes after the four episode arc. The shock of what life is like on New Caprica after the occupation is best left for the opening scenes of the season.
Huh, maybe that's why they have the webisodes on the second disc then :P
I'll give it a go that way, then.
Yeah, that might be best. Never quite been sure about the multiple webseries, where they're supposed to fit in.
From what I heard the Razor Flashbacks webseries is just mostly deleted scenes that made it into the DVD/Blu Ray release of Razor, right?
Is Battlestar Galactica really that good?
Give it a watch and you'll find out whether it is a cup of tea for you or not.
Can you just tell me what kind of show it's supposed to be? It looks almost like a space opera from what I've seen.
Kinda, yes.
The Cylons were created by man; the 12 colonies of Kobol made robotic servants called Cylons.
They rebelled; the Cylons declared war on their creators, initiating a bloody war.
They evolved; the robotic Cylons make peace with the humans, and retire to find a planet to call home. An ambassador ship is built. Every year, humans send in a representative, Cylons don't. Nobody heard of them in 40 years. After this time period, the Cylons return -- having created biological, infiltrating models that replicate human beings almost perfectly.
There are many copies; each of the new humanoid Cylons is part of a series of models based on a single archetype.
And they have a plan; striking a surprise attack, the Cylons come back to their creators after 40 years and nuke the 12 colonies. The survivors retire within a fleet of starships, including the old Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons go after them.
The series does fit the basic definition of space opera. There is drama and focus on characters and their development throughout its duration; and not only, but it features a theological debate and an abudant social commentary.
I love the series, but much like anything in the media it is not for everyone. It starts with the miniseries, so if you are interested you could give it a watch.
From your descripition it seems like I would be interested in watching it. Hopefully I can start when I get home.
Cal, I've noticed that you share the same interests as me for just about errthang, so if that holds true, you will absolutely love Battlestar Galactica. It's one of my all time favorites.

Robert Taylor stars as Walt Longmire, Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming. In the pilot episode, a man from out of town is found shot and the trail soon leads towards a local escort service. The plot was decent and the cast was good. I had never heard of Robert Taylor before, but I liked him a lot. Reminds me of Jeffrey Dean Morgan in a lot of ways. Katee Sackhoff plays Vic, a deputy and former homicide detective.
How did I find out about this show? Well, this GIF caught my eye over at Tumblr...

Is that pronounced "sack of"?

X-Files : The Truth (with added Deleted scenes)
The final episode and in my opinion a fantastic one. Filled with great moments that make me choke up and cheer at the same time.
from Gibsons Alien reveal in the court room, Agent Reyes outburst in court over sacrifices,Mulders speeches to the face of Kershe and the board, Smoking mans final refuge and the classic helicopter assualt.
A heartfelt goodbye to the greatest show that ever was and ever will be.

The Wire S1E01 "The Target"
After hearing nothing but praise for this show, I just had to check it out. So far, hasn't grabbed me, but it's a rare show that's able to do that with a single episode. Loving the soundtrack, and I can definitely see myself falling in love with this.
Gonna keep at it, see how things go.
Actually, the more I'm thinking about it, the more I really liked that episode.

You don't like The Wire?
Maybe he doesn't like that you backtracked on your first statement. Which is valid of course, don't get me wrong brudda.
I wouldn't really say that's 'backtracking', per say. I'm the same way with a lot of things as well. I watch something, feel kind of indifferent, and then once I let it sit for a while my opinion will sway one way or the other.
Exactly. As I mulled over the episode in my mind, going over how the dialogue was handled, the characterizations, all the little storylines that were set up, but not blatantly, I'm getting more out of it than my initial reaction.
We're all backtrackers!
Actually...I just don't like The Wire :P

The Wire's definitely a grower, not least because it takes hours before you can figure out what the hell they're saying (very helpful to use subtitles...), and who they're talking about. Personally it took until near the end of the first season to sink its hooks in (and it tried
very hard to shake out those hooks with the second season's initial abandonment of most things that had been established, and introduction of characters I didn't give two shits about), but once it has you, Morpheus's entire stockpile of pills couldn't break your immersion and enjoyment.
The X-Files - Season 1 - Episode 1 'Pilot'
Solid pilot episode with a nice layer of intrigue and the beginning of a fun and oddly creepy extraterrestrial theory. Mulder and Scully are a great team to watch work with a nice balance between their attitudes toward the case.
I dont particularly care for the Pilot, so if you like it that's a good sign.

Patlabor: OVA
Episode 1 - "Second Unit, Move Out!"
A great start and introduction to the characters I had previously met in the three Patlabor movies. Right off the bat I noticed a lot more whimsical elements here that were absent in the movies. I don't mind that at all; adds to the overall charm of the show. Still, it's fun to see the old favorites from the SV2 again like Goto and a few others. :)
House of Cards season finale
So... when is season 2? 8)
Jekyll Episodes 1-6
Well... that was disappointing. Considering this came from the mind of Steven Moffat, the incredibly talented man behind Sherlock and many of the better Doctor Who episodes, I thought this would be fantastic. And it was... in a few places. But too often was it just really silly, badly directed, poorly written, and overly convoluted. The best parts were the ones that dealt with the struggle between the titular character and his darker alter-ego, as well as the ones about the origin of the condition of Jekyll and Hyde. That's what the focus should have been! Instead, it spread itself too thin over too many ideas, failing to fully expand upon any of them, leaving the whole miniseries feeling somewhat deflated.
James Nesbitt was absolutely fantastic in the dual Tom Jackman / Mr. Hyde role, so at least it had that.
I hate to admit it, but The Bates Motel is actually pretty damn fantastic.

The Mentalist
Season 5 Episode 22: Red John's Rules
The finale started off a little slow but things really got moving quickly and the fifth season ended with a bang. The writers deserve all the credit they get for making that final scene so powerful. When the Red John case (which has been in existence since the show's pilot episode) is down to seven suspects and the reveal of those names is not the most powerful part of the final scene, you know you've got a winner of a cliffhanger.
Revenge
Season 2 Episode 20: Engagement
After a disappointing previous episode, things are back to great form. The show is at its best when it balances its cheesy borderline soap-opera story arcs with really intense revelations that propel the story forward. The campy quality of this show works just fine but it only works when it maintains a certain level of authenticity and when things actually move along at a consistent pace. Unfortunately a series such as Revenge suffers when the episode orders are more than 20 episodes per season. That being said, I'm very surprised that they seem to be taking a really brave direction with the upcoming 2 hour season finale. The preview reveals the character making a very big confession that is bound to set the wheels in motion for a thrilling third season.

The FallEpisode 1Gillian Anderson travels to Belfast in order to catch a serial killer in this five part series. So far it's pretty good. Anderson doesn't take much place and we are instead following the killer, played by Jamie Dornan. An excellent performance from him, if you ask me. He's very calm and in control the whole time. And I like that it takes place in Belfast instead of making it another US based crime show.

You should give The Last Airbender a shot; it's got more of a childish tone than Korra, but it's absolutely fantastic once you get used to it.

So far I really like Ned Stark, Tyrion, and Daenerys, Jon Snow, and Ned's youngest daughter (whose name has slipped my mind). The show has a huge cast, and it was a bit hard to keep track of everyone at first, but its all starting to fall into place now.
Spoiler
The way episode four ended had me a bit sad; Tyrion is the only member of the Lannister family had had taken a liking to!
I'm very excited to see the Dragon eggs hatch, and I really want to see more of the White Walkers from the opening scene as well. Speaking of Dragons and White Walkers (and Direwolves), I've noticed that, aside from those few creatures/inhuman beings, the show seems to be more grounded than other fantasy stories like, say, The Lord of the Rings. I wonder if we're going to be seeing more creatures or magic pop up?
Glad you're loving it so far, NA. :)
Tyrion is definitely a favorite of mine... You're in for an insane ride.
Revenge
Season 2: Episode 21 & 22
"Truth"
Wow. This double-length episode felt like a film that was intense from start to finish. "Truth" is one of the strongest episodes, not only in the second season but, in the entire series. The pacing was perfect, a silly subplot that could have dragged was wrapped up quickly and neatly, emotions were running high, the cast hit the right notes with their performances and the score was great as usual.
Amazing finale and I can't wait for season 3.

Dexter - Season 1
Episode 1 - Dexter
I figured it was time to give the whole show a rewatch in time for the eight and final season. Things were pretty different back then. The mood and the character felt a bit darker. The lightning was great, lots of red and shadows. Dexter had a few odd things going on as well. What was up with that plastic wrap mask for example? It made the character a bit creepier though. And of course, there was that wonderful Doakes and Dexter interaction. Some of the most memorable scenes were from the pilot episode.

Hannibal- Fromage
This is easily one of the best T.V. episodes of any show I have ever watched. Holy. Shit.
Game of Thrones S1E05-10 'The Wolf and the Lion', 'A Golden Crown', 'You Win or You Die', 'The Pointy End', 'Baelor', and 'Fire and Blood'
Oh my God I can't even explain how much I love this :o Two days of viewing and I watched the whole first season, and I'm dying to find out what happens next.
You're so damn lucky that you don't have to wait a year between Season 1 and 2. :D
Haha, indeed :D Just gotta find a day to get my friends here to watch it (got them addicted with me :P ).
Season 3 is coming to an end soon, right? Can't wait for that as well. The wait for season 4 is going to be dreadful though. I don't even have HBO! :D
Yup, three more episodes left in Season 3. It's gone by so fast. ;-;
Excellent! I can not wait to get my hand on that.
I want to read the books as well, once I'm finished spending some time in the pages of Middle-Earth.

Excellent. 8)
How did you feel about that ending? And for that matter, the ending to Baelor. And of course, Bronn.
Also, you need to give this a look now that you've seen the show. ;)
Clicky. (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=37870.msg1559788#msg1559788)
Bronn is very interesting so far. I can't wait to see more of him.
Spoiler
Even though I knew Ned was going to die, the ending to 'Baelor' still left me in shock. I thought he would die in the finale, so I assumed that, somehow, he was going to escape from that situation.
As far as the ending of the season goes, that was excellent. Been waiting for the dragons (and magic of some sort) since the beginning, and their birth did not disappoint. Should be great seeing how they factor into the story as we progress forward. I'm also very interested in seeing what's going to happen as we travel beyond the wall.
As far as the compare goes, awesome :D Nice to know I own a brother :P

Game of Thrones S2E01-03 'The North Remembers', 'The Night Lands', and 'What is Dead May Never Die'
Season 2 is off to an excellent start. Looks like its shaping up to be an excellent story that unfolds.
Season Two is just fantastic. A lot of my favorite characters from the show are introduced in that season. Stannis, Davos, Melisandre and Brienne of Tarth.
And What is Dead May Never Die has one of the best moments regarding Theon I've seen. Loved the whole scene.

I find IRL "Manic Pixies" are often more trouble than they're worth. They're fun, but are disaster magnets too. Occasionally though, you do meet a woman who fits the archetype without causing trouble all the time, and I agree, they're the best. :D

Battlestar Galactica 'The Resistance' webseries and S3E05 'Collaborators'
The webseries was an interesting (if a bit choppy) look at the events leading up to the season, and made for a nice lead in to 'Collaborators', which was a very good episode. Things are getting quite bleak in the fleet.
Very bleak.
Star Trek - "Space Seed"
Great episode, introducing a great villain. I have now braced myself for The Wrath of Khan. 8)
I just finished watching Dexter - Season 1. It's been a few years since the last time I saw it. Talk about things being different back then. Everything from the lightning and mood, which I've previously mentioned, to characters like Debra, who has evolved so much since the beginning, it's hard to even think of her as the same person she is now. Back then she was so naive and low on self-esteem. And let's not forget about Doakes. I didn't even realize how much I missed Doakes. I also forgot that Dexter never spoke to Harry back then and it was all done in flashbacks instead.
It's been great revisiting the birth of Dexter. :)

Hank's always great, and I really warmed up to Marie this time round. Skyler's still a b*tch though. I can accept that she's in the right, but no one f**ks with the Heisenberg.
But yeah. Best show ever.
Star Trek: The Original Series
Season One: Episode 1 - The Man Trap
Kirk and Bones beam down to a planet and come in contact with a creature that's able to change forms, and blend in with the crew. I liked this episode quite a bit. Almost felt like The Thing from time to time. Curious to know if Roddenberry was inspired by Who Goes There? for this episode.
Episode 2 – Charlie X
Episode 3 – Where No Man Has Gone Before
I absolutely loved Where No Man Has Gone Before. It had all the proper ingredients to make a very solid Trek episode, and a guide as to why Trek can be so engaging from time to time. Gary Mitchell was a total badass. He gains the powers of a God and puts the crew of the Enterprise at his mercy. The relationship between Mitchell and Kirk was excellent; all the more reason why the last act was handled really well.
Seems we're both doing the same thing.

She's crazy hot and her character is awesome life of the show really, but as far as plot goes it's pretty weak and it has that whole everything ends up the same as the beginning aspect that really a truly didn't change through the entire season, even the finale changed next to nothing.

I tried watching Star Trek when I was in high school - it would show on a Friday night or Saturday night (I remember it was on the weekend). Anyway, I could never make it through a full episode and I would end always end up falling asleep. But I could manage to stay awake until the early morning hours with almost anything else. :P
3rd Rock from the Sun
This is a show I can watch over and over again and I never tire of it. It's just one of those feel good shows with great writing, characters you can't help but love and a fun concept. It's six seasons of greatness and one of the best sitcoms to ever grace television.

Gah, I miss that show so much (I should clarify that and say I miss the
reruns, I don't think anyone's asking for them to Arrested Development it). They never play it over here anymore.
Wayne Knight's near-constant shocked noise and accompanying flailing is permanently burned into my brain.
Battlestar Galactica S3E06-07 'Torn' and 'A Measure of Salvation'
A fascinating pair of episodes. The stuff with Baltar in the Cylon fleet has to be among my favorite parts of the entire series.
Battlestar Galactica S3E08 'Hero'
Holy shit.
Battlestar Galactica S3E09 'Unfinished Business: The Ron Moore Version'
Wow. Absolutely fantastic episode containing some of the best character moments in the entire series. I can't even begin to imagine which important scenes were cut for the shorter TV version of this episode.
Farscape Season 2: "The Way we weren't".
It takes big mivonks.... pardon... balls to take one of your good lead characters and give her a really evil backstory that messes up the status quo... and that happens to 2 different characters here. blood was shed and blame and guilt gets shared around. :P Thumbs up. A few overly sentimental moments but still good, riveting and at times hard to watch stuff. :P
Farscape is-was one weird ass tv show :P
Battlestar Galactica S3E10-13 'The Passage', 'The Eye of Jupiter', 'Rapture', and 'Taking A Break From All Your Worries'
Wow...another fantastic set of episodes. When I started watching this show I was expecting a straight up science-fiction series; I never could have guessed the extent to which this show's mythology would be explored and put into the forefront, but I am loving every single second of it. The stuff with Gaius this season has been especially great. Especially that drug-induced interrogation scene in the final episode.

What do you think of Jaqen? :)
Interesting so far. Looking forward to seeing what they do with him, and many other characters.
Right now I'm especially interested in the stories of Jon Snow, Daenerys, Arya, and of course Tyrion. Speaking of Tyrion, its always great seeing him teach Joffrey a lesson or two :D

I can certainly see why; it really was an exceptional episode.
Kind of nervous, though. The next episode is 'The Woman King' which, if I recall correctly, kicks off what you and SpaceMarines said is the show's lowest point.
For me, "The Woman King" is the show's lowest point. There's just something about it I find inherently terrible.
But don't worry, the lull is short, and there's still good stuff sprinkled throughout.

Awesome. Cannot state how much inspiration 'Taking A Break From All Your Worries' gave me; one of my favorite episodes ever televised.
I can certainly see why; it really was an exceptional episode.
Kind of nervous, though. The next episode is 'The Woman King' which, if I recall correctly, kicks off what you and SpaceMarines said is the show's lowest point.
Well, it only lasts three episodes and I don't even think Day in the Life is that bad, but
notably weak when put in perspective with the rest of the series. I'd say the worst episode of the series is without a doubt Dirty Hands, and ironically, it has one of the series' most wonderful, memorable Baltar moments in it. So it's not
all bad. :D
And then of course the episode after Dirty Hands is Maelstrom... one of the series' most...
iconic episodes. ...For good(?) reasons.
"Dirty Hands" at least progressed things. "The Woman King" could easily be taken out, and nothing at all would be missed.
Well I guess its not too bad, seeing as its only three episodes. Sucks that it has to come during the series' highest point so far, though :P
So far the only episode that I haven't really cared for is 'Black Market'.
Actually, I have one spoileish question that just popped in my mind.
Spoiler
Maybe I'm forgetting something, but what ever happened to Baltar's Cylon test that he developed in the first season? I know that he was unsure if it was completely accurate or not, but it seemed to work well enough on Boomer.
I haven't seen the show for a while, but I'm pretty sure it was deemed ineffective at one point and the tests were ordered to stop.
Spoiler
I think it was after Boomer was revealed to be a Cylon after shooting Adama.
OK, I remember that. But seeing as it was accurate about that, I wonder if it would have been completely accurate in the long run. Could potentially help save Baltar a bit of trouble with his current dilemma ;)
Battlestar Galactica S3E14-15 'The Woman King' and 'A Day In The Life'
Neither were exceptionally bad episodes (both were better than 'Black Market', at least) but they certainly felt like they dropped the ball a bit after the near-perfect season that it has been so far. Even still, there were some great things sprinkled throughout. I loved getting a bit more of a look at Helo's and Sharon's relationship and seeing a bit more of Number 6 in 'The Woman King', and the stuff with Chief and Callie was great in 'A Day In The Life'.
Doctor Who - Series 5
The Eleventh Hour
A pretty great introduction to the character and his new companion, Amy Pond. I really liked Matt Smith as the Doctor and Karen Gillan was lovely. Can't wait to see more of this. I definitely enjoyed it more than what I saw of the Eccleston version.
NA, just wait till you get to the S3 finale. GRRRUUHHHH.
Doctor Who - Series 5
The Beast Below
An excellent episode. Kind of creepy, but with a nice twist.
Victory of the Daleks
Not as good as the first two episodes, but the Daleks were interesting.
The best below was a good episode love the tiny bit at the end that leaves you thinking "Awww shit! :o".
Battlestar Galactica S3E16-17 'Dirty Hands' and 'Maelstrom'
...
EDIT: All right, I can collect my thoughts a little bit. The ending of 'Maelstrom' actually drained me out... since I made this post I haven't done much but stare at this screen.
I don't believe that the ending is actually, well, the ending...but my God, my jaw was on the floor.
Yeah, that ending, everytime, just releases the dam. :'(

Battlestar Galactica S3E18-20 'The Son Also Rises', 'Crossroads, Part 1', and 'Crossroads, Part 2'
HOLY.
FRAKING.
SHIT.
I'm in shock. I was literally on my feet during the ending of the episode.
HUGE SPOILERS right here:
Spoiler
Spoiler
After 'Malestrom' I could tell that Starbuck wasn't dead, and I could tell by the way that this episode was going that she would pop up again by the end. But my God, that final scene. And the stuff with Tigh, Chief, Sam, and Roslin's secretary (her name is slipping my mind) that led up to it....my jaw was on the floor.
The ending montage, with everyone resuming their positions, left me with shivers running down my spine. And the music just made everything all the more powerful.
Heh, we're at the same point in our watch-throughs, now. :D
The Tudors, partway into season 2.

God yes. YES.
YES!!!And now you get to Season 4; man -- it's just a frakkin' crescendo till the end.
I just come out of 'Six of One' and 'The Ties that Bind' (S4). Former is one of my favourites of the series. You'll see why.
BSG became a love affair with me when they started quoting lyrics to a Jimi Hendrix song and all met in the same room. Simply brilliant.
And it all goes into the series' themes too!
Spoiler
Lyrics from the song are literally incarnated into aspects of certain characters. I.e. in 'Six of One' Natalie says to Cavil that he feels all their existences are just a big joke; "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke," indeed.
And it was a love affair for me the moment I saw Kara Thrace.
And then Cylons.
Jussayin.

Dexter - Season 2
Probably the best season of the show. The reveal of the Bay Harbor Butcher, Lundy, the manhunt and Doakes closing in on Dexter was just so f**king thrilling to watch.
One of the best seasons of television, period.
Doctor Who - Series 5
The Time of Angels
Flesh and Stone
Two really good episodes, and to be honest, quite scary. Those angels... :o
You should watch the Angels' first episode, "Blink." It's the Alien to "The Time of Angels"'s Aliens.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it was awesome having Iain Glen make a guest appearance.
I'm glad you're enjoying Series 5. Quite possibly my favourite of the Who Series, and it served as my introduction into the show.
You should really go back and give the rest of it a go. The first few of Series 1 are kinda weak, but it gets damn good around the midway mark.
Battlestar Galactica 'Razor Flashbacks'
Apart from the beginning and the ending, all of these websiodes were just scenes from the extended version of Razor. Still, its cool seeing young Adama in action.
Falling Skies season 2 episode 10
Well theres one way to end a season well and thats with a cliffhanger (Either it pisses you off or excites you enough to wanna watch it)
Spoiler
Sad that the skitter with the red eye died :( At least he went out taking a swing at the overlord. Also that Alien that appears in the last five minutes looks awesome.
Looking forward to season 3

RIP, C. :'(
The spousal abuse themes in The Ties That Bind are tense on an oddly effectly level. I swear I almost had to take a break at one point... but that wouldn't have done me any good in preparation for the ending.
Yeah, it was definitely rough getting through parts of that episode. The conversation with Doc. Cottle about halfway through the episode was especially effective.
It definitely was.
And it may be me but I always get a shiver down my spine when someone gets blown out of the airlock. A truly horrific death.
Doesn't help that C. was one of my favourite characters.
I don't even know what to make of my three favorite characters (Starbuck, Chief, and Gaius) at this point. Lots of shades of gray running through the fleet, and I'm loving (and wanting to cry about) every bit of it.
Starbuck is best ever.
Ever.

Wow.
This has been a long time coming. All of the pieces are on the table. It has been a long, great journey so far. Wherever they go with these final ten episodes, I am with it all the way.
Get ready for 'Sometimes A Great Notion', tonally, lowest low the show ever hits, with the absolute highest drama. The final ten episodes are about finding purpose when everything has been taken away from you, and trying to salvage humanity when it's been utterly broken.
It feels like completely condensed viewing right up to 'Daybreak', the finale. I recommend watching the complete cut of that, without the three-part episode break. It's some of the best television ever presented.
Absolutely. Frak yes.

The Fall - Episode 1
The great Gillian Anderson stars as Stella Gibson, an icy special detective tracking down a serial killer played by unspeakably pretty model-turned-actor Jamie Dornan. I was worried this would be typical serial killer trash TV (like another serial killer show Anderson is currently guesting in), but this is a British production, so it's class all around -- the writing is sharp and cool, the direction restrained, Anderson is fantastic, and even Dornan surprises. This has already been picked up for a second series next year -- woor. Series one is now on Netflix Instant.

Well actually I have done in the past -- not that that has any bearing on whether or not one can see British crime dramas, considering they get international distribution.

No, but living in Britain where the primary channels BBC, ITV, 4 and 5 are all 'Britain-centric', you know that just because something is a British production, it is far,
far from classy, cool or high quality.
Though, when you did, where and for how long?
I'm talking about British crime dramas, which historically have been all those things -- compared to their American CSI counterparts, anyway.

Battlestar Galactica S4E13-14 'The Oath' and 'Blood On The Scales'
Another fantastic (and incredibly intense) two-part episode. I loved seeing
Spoiler
the crew, humans and Cylons, pull together in order to reclaim the Galactica. The episode also gave some great closure on Zerek's and Gaeta's stories.
Its all looking like its shaping up to be a very great finale! Though I do want to see more
Spoiler
Earth...and while we're there, more of Kara's mystery.
But I guess good things come to those who wait :P
Battlestar Galactica S4E15-16 'No Exit' and 'Deadlock'
Another great pair. The stuff with Sam in these episodes has been especially good, and the ending of 'Deadlock' left me a little misty-eyed.
The finale that awaits.. ah God.
I would change a pair of things but nonetheless a superb end to the series.
Battlestar Galactica S4E17-18 'Someone To Watch Over Me' and 'Islanded In A Stream Of Stars' Unaired Extended Episode
Well...here we go. Feeling kind of strange at the moment, and I can't believe its almost over.
If all goes well I should hopefully have the chance to watch the finale later tonight.
I wish I could be there and watch it together, but, alas.
You're in for ffffeeeeeeelings.
So just to make sure I have things right, the Unaired Extended Episode version of 'Daybreak' edits together the entire finale (episodes 19 and 20) into one large, combined episode, correct?
Yes. Although I have only seen the TV 3-part cut.
The Hero. Interesting, The Rock is challenging the team member's integrity as well as their physical skills.
Battlestar Galactica S4E19-20 'Daybreak' Unaired Extended Episode

Pleasantly surprised to find this on Audience channel.
The Fringe - "The No-Brainer"
Decent enough show
Season 1 is decent. It gets awesome starting in season two.
The Wire S1E13 "Sentencing"
Great finale to a fantastic season. Really looking forward to continuing this. One of the best crime dramas I've ever seen.
Game of Thrones S2E08-10 'The Prince of Winterfell', 'Blackwater', and 'Valar Morghulis'
An excellent ending to the second season. The battle in 'Blackwater' was probably the show's best large-scale action sequence so far, and the ending sequence in the finale was absolutely spectacular.

The first five episodes of House of Cards. Good stuff.
Caprica S1E01 'Pilot' Unaired, Extended Edition
Huh...this is definitely a very different show than Battlestar Galactica, but I knew that going in. I actually found it to be very interesting overall, and I am looking forward to seeing just what the show does in its one short season with the interesting foundation that this pilot presented. I can see quite a few fascinating doors being opened up down the line.
Also, maybe I'm seeing things, but I'm pretty sure I saw an Eye of Jupiter framed in the Greystone household.
Revolution season One season finale, Awesome twist at the end I was shocked. Miles matheson is such a badass!!!
Wife Swap on the Lifetime channel
Dude, that show is like the people version of Animal Planet. XD
Cow and Chicken on Boomerang. I remember (on Cartoon Network) when this was on along with Dexter's Laboratory , Johnny Bravo and Powerpuff Girls in the 90's; what has happened to cartoons since then???
Caprica S1E02-03 'Rebirth' and 'Reins of a Waterfall'
With each episode the premise of the show seems to be getting more and more interesting. The stuff with the avatars in the V-World is very cool to see, and I'm finding myself taking a particular liking to Daniel Graystone (despite knowing the terrible things that ultimately come out of his work). Also, I guess its safe to assume where the Cylons' monotheistic religious fanaticism comes from.

The Fall
Episode 1
Slow burn with a consistant atmosphere of dread and observation. Gillian is still lovely as ever and her character is brutally enjoyable. The last scene in the episode had me going 'aww shit' ..and they where just there.
now for Episode 2..
Lost S1E01-05 'Pilot - Part 1', 'Pilot - Part 2', 'Tabula Rasa', 'Walkabout', and 'White Rabbit'
Fantastic. After just five episodes I can already tell that the mysteries and themes presented in this show are exactly what I'm intrigued by. Combine those with excellent characters and an immensely interesting premise and it seems obvious that, if the quality remains consistent, this show is going to be something really special. Not to draw comparisons or anything, but I really think that this show is going to tap into the same emotional and philosophic veins that made Battlestar Galactica such an astounding success in my book.

It absolutely does... and beyond. The series gets weird in Season 2--
seriously weird, and weird is good. VERY good. The weak point is the beginning of Season 3 for about three odd episodes that are incredibly restricting... and then the season becomes incredible again.
Ooohhhh, really liking the sound of 'weird'. A show like this needs 'weird'.

Breaking Bad S1E93-04 "...And the Bag's in the River", "Cancer Man"

I should also add that one of the pitches I threw to SpaceMarines to convince him to watch the show was "It's like a great Michael Crichton novel if he knew how to execute on characterization". I still think that's the best way I can describe it.
Huh, interesting. When it comes to Crichton I've only ever read Jurassic Park and The Lost World (though I remember almost nothing from the later).
As much as I loved Jurassic Park, I think I see where you're coming from.

Hannibal - Episode 1 "Apéritif"
...woah now.
Rarely can a show that is done in a mature, haunting, and genuinely stimulating fashion be found on network television, and Hannibal presents itself as the exception. So many elements of this are 'in name only' in regards to the previous Hannibal franchise incarnations, most of all Will Graham-- his characterization here is strong, intense, and incredibly multi-faceted, played to perfection by Hugh Dancy.
My biggest fear going into this, putting what I knew to be a fantastic cast aside, was with NBC's primarily comedy-lead track record, with no attention given to dark dramas like this. I feared for a highly lit, bright, and tacky look to the series for maximum viewership appeal, but it's muted tones and grainy images give it a very grounded and ominous vibe, making the show distinctly atmospheric. Aside from non-distractingly hiding some nudity and avoiding above PG-13 language, the show hardly compromises itself to fit the network standard (as done with Breaking Bad, Battlstar Galactica, LOST, etc). After seeing the preview for the season's coming events, it's looking to follow through on the promise of character tension that seems to be amped up more and more with every scene between Will and Hannibal.

I knew you'd like it. :)
Just don't give up on it when it briefly becomes a "killer of the week" show. It's still leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in that genre when doing it, but thankfully it gets back on the rails pretty quickly and focuses on the characters and their interactions. There was a particular episode where it really hit me how many of the characters were monsters, playing dangerous games and dancing in deadly circles around each other, with only Hannibal being fully aware of the dance.

Best batch of episodes yet. 'All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues' had my heart racing (if you've seen the show you know what scene I'm talking about), 'Hearts and Minds' had some fantastic twists, and 'Special' gave me a whole new appreciation for Michael and made me very interested in Walt. And that final cliffhanger left me on the edge of my seat.
I'm watching the show with two friends; one like me who hasn't seen it, and one who is a huge fan (this is his third viewing of the series). I'm sure he's getting a kick out of my reactions :D
Despite being new to all of this and not yet knowing much about the island, I'm really digging the mythology behind this show. Very interested to see just how 'grounded' it stays; I can definitely see things taking a more spiritual, BSG-esque route.

Season Two completely erupts (...) in mythology and science fiction elements, season 3 begins dealing with them, and then season 4 does it again... times infinity-- literally. It's the greatest.
As strange as it sounds, it's kind of unfortunate that you're also watching it with somebody who hasn't seen it yet, because that may prevent you from watching the show at as fast a pace as you'd like; it's probably the best show one could ever marathon.
Is it true that the infamous smoke monster turns out to be
Spoiler
...an ancient evil magician spirit at war with his brother on the island or something?
Because if that really is the case, it is the dumbest f**king reveal I have ever read.

Very, very excited for what's coming up in the later seasons then.
And yeah, I definitely get what you're saying about marathoning it. But at least if we keep going at the rate we're going we should still be able to get together a few times a week and watch four or five episodes at a time, schedules permitting. :)
Breaking Bad S1E07 "A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal"

Spoiler
An anti-hero of sorts thrown into a pit of dimensional endlessness by his brother for an act that he thought would free them both; this just causes him to be regurgitated by it, coming out as the massive black cloud, with strange elecromagnetic properties and takes the form of other people that have died.

There's no simple way to explain it to somebody that hasn't seen the show, especially considering that at the point this is shown, it's the penultimate episode of the series, after six seasons.

Caprica S1E04-5 'Gravedancing' and 'There Is Another Sky'
Finally got around to giving another couple episodes a watch. This show hasn't really gripped me in the same way that Battlestar Galactica did, but I am finding it to be very interesting (even more so with these two episodes) and I am very intrigued by the connections between this and its parent series.
Caprica S1E06 'Know Thy Enemy'
Same sentiments as above. The political and religious elements of the show are quite interesting on their own, and I am intrigued in seeing how they build up to what has been established in BSG. Still, it feels like there is a bit of something missing with such a fine line dividing the two halves. I hope that they begin to blur a bit before this is all over. That being said, it is still pretty good and I am looking forward to continuing on with the show.
Caprica S1E07 'The Imperfections of Memory'
Oooh, now this is getting good. Definitely my favorite episode so far.
Hannibal - Episode 11 "Rôti"
Well, I can officially say that in my books, this series' Will Graham is one of the best and most in-depth character studies I've seen recently on a show. Hugh Dancy's performance of him has blown me away, and it only gets more and more tense every episode. So much of the show's tension has to do with that single character's mental conflictions as he descends into madness. It's terrifying, tragic, and ever-growingly intense.
This show is something incredible, living up to Thomas Harris' world in ways only Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs could... but goes beyond, flipping it on its head completely.
Episode 13 - "Savoureux"
...It's not fair. Hannibal's design, for all of its in-the-moment modifications and cruel deceptions, has played out as planned. Brilliant, but emotionally exhausting for anybody who wanted to see any form of justice or light at the end of the very dark tunnel that was Season 1. It was handled with nauseatingly sinister grace.
I don't know what I'd do if this didn't get picked up for another season, but if it finds itself in danger in the future, I dearly hope that it can find another home; perhaps AMC.
Easily one of the best shows running.
Lost S1E15-19 'Homecoming', 'Outlaws', '...In Translation', 'Numbers', and 'Deus Ex Machina'
Wow. This right here is everything I love. The numbers, the hatch, John Locke....all of it is amazing, and I can't wait to see some connections get made and more questions rise as I progress towards the finale. That was one hell of a cliffhanger.

Supernatural S1E01-4 'Pilot', 'Wendigo', 'Dead in the Water', and 'Phantom Traveler'
Well, four episodes in and I am having a lot of fun with this series so far. As someone who is really getting into horror and mythology as of late, the stuff going on in here has definitely piqued my interest. I love the backstory set up in the pilot, and am really enjoying the characters and situations so far. Oh, and that exorcism scene in episode four was pretty awesome.
Looking forward to viewing the further adventures of Shasvre and First Blood Sam and Dean!
:laugh:
Glad you're enjoying it man. The first season is kinda 'monster of the week' but then when season two comes around they really expand the mythology and everything after that is just fantastc. Oh and they pull some of the best rock music from time to time during eps. 8)
Yeah, figured as much about the monster of the week thing. Should be a cool format to kickstart the series before things really expand, though. And I agree about the music as well. Dean's cassette collection is pretty awesome :D
Oh, I loved seeing Amy Acker pop up in 'Dead in the Water' :-*
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it, Nightmare. If you liked
Phantom Traveler, well, let's just say you haven't seen the last of demons in this show. :D

Even a certain Cylon makes an appearance. 8)
Also, gotta agree with First Blood. The music is awesome.
Mad Men S6E13 "In Care Of"
Fantastic conclusion to the season. This show remains completely fascinating to me, all the characters, all the styles, the social and political upheavals witnessed through the gleaming windows of Madison Avenue.
Now for the long wait for the show's final season.
few episodes of UFO Hunters.

Supernatural S1E05-7 'Bloody Mary', 'Skin', and 'Hook Man'

I remember watching 'Bloody Mary' for the first time with the DVD set at my grandma's house on my old DVD player. We had a friend over that lived in the neighborhood so after that episode was over, we hurried into the bathroom and tried it out. I was too much of a wuss and ran out of there. XD
Also been watching Supernatural, forgot what season--but the episode was titled 'Mystery Spot'. The one where Dean keeps dying on Tuesday--which turns out to be Tuesday every day. One of my old favorites that they played on TNT.

Yeah, 'Skin' was pretty awesome. Can't wait to see just how its going to impact the characters in the long run.

Supernatural S1E08-9 'Bugs' and 'Home'
'Home' was fantastic in so many ways. It upped the scares, the drama, and the weight of the overarching story in an immense way; out of the few episodes of this show that I have seen so far, 'Home' has certainly been the best and it should go without saying that it has me very, very excited for the coming episodes.
Enter John Winchester. 8)
Also, just one more episode, then its time for Scarecrow, one of my favorite episodes from Season 1.

Yes, it does, after the fifth season. But then again, as the series was originally intended to end by then, you could just stop watching after Season 5 and be satisfied. Right now it's the best place to stop, unless you feel the need to see everything.

Ah, good. 8) So season 6 came as a surprise then?
I'm not really sure, I didn't really keep an eye on any behind-the-scenes stuff back then. When I started watching the show, Season 5 was already over and Season 6 was filming. I think they renewed the show before they filmed the Season 5 finale however and made changes to reflect that. It's still a good place to end though. :)
Transformers Prime episode 01 - 'Darkness Rising: Part 1'
I really really enjoyed this introduction to the series. As far as favorite male Autobots go, I liked Cliffhanger and Roadblock. Bumblebee was as adorable as ever (even if he did crush that one kids RC car). Arcee has to be my all time favorite character, and the return of Megatron has gotten me hooked on the series. You can now color me a Tf Prime fan!
Supernatural S1E10-11 'Asylum' and 'Scarecrow'
Seems that, since 'Home', the show has definitely found its footing. Loved the transition from the end of 'Asylum' to the beginning of 'Scarecrow'. Shas, you were absolutely right about 'Scarecrow'. Probably my second favorite episode so far, after 'Home'. And and I can not wait to see what's up with that ending.
Also, I just want to say now that I called that there would be references to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining in 'Asylum' :P
Star Trek Pilot Episode: "The Cage"
The adventures of Spock and Kir- er, I mean Pike! And, uh, Doctor Boyce!
Yes, the original pilot isn't quite as iconic as the series proper. But, it's still some damned good sci-fi, touching on many thought-provoking ideas, with a very intelligent and well-written script. Yes, it's campy, but that almost adds to the overall thing.
Really looking forward to sinking my teeth into the rest of the series.
Saw the pilot a few weeks ago, almost wish to actually have an entire series with that crew. Pike is freaking awesome.

And the mythology of the island is fascinating. Finally seeing the smoke monster that everyone blabbers on about was great, and I am continually drawn in by everything and anything to do with John Locke, the numbers, and the hatch.
Oh, Hurley. Stay strong.
Love the final shot of the season, looking down the hatch.
It's the perfect metaphor for what's about to happen to the series; down a deep, dark, fascinating, seemingly endless pit of mystery.

'Nightmare' is right up there with the best the season has to offer so far. I can not wait to see what all of this means for Sam.
Supernatural S1E15-16 'The Benders' and 'Shadow'
So 'The Benders was essentially
Supernatural meets
The Most Dangerous Game. And 'Shadow' was excellent in so many ways. With only six episodes left in the season, it seems as though every important piece is being laid out. I can't wait to see how all of this comes together.

Meg has become a very, very interesting villain (and character in general), and I can not wait to see more of Sam's powers develop as the season progresses. T'was great finally seeing Sam and Dean meet up with their father as well.
Yeah, Sam's powers gets interesting, to say the least. And I really like Meg myself.

The Borgias.
The best looking show on TV by a significant margin, and in fact tops Rome as the prettiest I remember seeing. And super fun - Jeremy Irons hams it up ludicrously, the rest of the family steam up the screen with a great deal of extremely good looking sexual and political tension (and relieving of said tension). No idea how historically factual it is, but it feels reasonably convincing. And did I say fun? I seem to spend half the episodes laughing.
Easily my favourite show at the moment.

Aye - it was a great season. Lots of new characters and the stakes get a little higher.
Yeah, I liked the new characters. Lots of more time for Bobby, as well as Jo & Ellen and Ash. There's a little more humor in there as well. Overall, Season 2 was one of the best. :)
Sounds great. Heard that Bobby is awesome, and am I correct in assuming that Azazel is the main demon from the first season?
Yup, old Yellow Eyes. :)
As for John, I liked him better when I re-watched Season 1. First time I watched the show I remembered him being colder than he actually was.
Awesome, finding the demon very interesting so far.
And Meg. I hope she comes back.

But, you know, you could keep an eye out for Loki in Season 2. ;)
Oooh, that's intriguing. I actually saw a pic of Mjolinr in one of the more recent seasons. Cool seeing Norse mythology in the show like that 8)
Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jul 04, 2013, 08:22:44 PMOooh, that's intriguing.
There's definitely more to him than meets the eye. ;)
Keep in mind that the show's working on a limited budget, so some of the creatures might not look as animalistic as they should.
Yeah, that's to be expected. Still, I thought the effects in the first season were quite good.
Oh, on the topic of the first season, I really liked the portrayal of the vampires. That episode was a lot of fun to watch.
Ah, that's the episode where the Colt first showed up, right? :)
Yup, that's the one :)
Ah, the Colt. ;D
There was even talks about a spin-off about Samuel Colt back in the day.
Superman: The Animated Series
S01E01 - The Last Son of Krypton, Part 1
S01E02 - The Last Son of Krypton, Part 2
S01E03 - The Last Son of Krypton, Part 3
An excellent origin story for Superman. :)
It also seems like Man of Steel borrowed some visuals from the show.

Go to hell, MoS.
Caprica S1E-8-9 'Ghosts in the Machine' and 'End of Line'
Finally sat down and popped this in again, and I am glad that I did. Thus far Caprica has been a very, very slow burn, but this midseason (midseires, actually) finale really picked up the pace and played a lot of important cards in very interesting ways. I can't wait to see how all of this comes together down the line.
Maison Ikkoku - Volume 5 Disc 1 Episode 2 (Had a really long title and can't remember it).
A brief overview of the episode is that Kyoko Otanashi sees something in the new tenant at Ikkoku that reminds her of Soichiro, her deceased husband. Meanwhile, Godai and Mitaka are fearing that Kyoko maybe in love with him and not them.
Burn Notice Season Six
Last Rites
Under the Gun
Split Decision
Shock Wave
Reunion
Never thought I'd see the day when Renny Harlin would direct an episode. And Bruce Campbell will be awesome...forever.
That show never did seem to jump the shark. Actually glad they are ending it before it gets bad.
Tons of fun.
Law & Order SVU
Lots of Law & Order SVU.
Dexter S1E12 "Born Free"
Ah, man, been much too long since I've seen the early seasons of this show. This is the style I fell in love with, which has unfortunately lacked somewhat in recent years. I'm just praying that season 8 recaptures the feel of the first four seasons.

Indeed. They could only take Michael's 'burn notice' so far before they exhaust themselves out of ideas. Glad they're ending it too. It's been a fun seven years. And the guest stars only add to the charm. Always loved the one with Donovan, Campbell & Burt Reynolds driving around causing chaos in Miami. :laugh:
Teen Wolf season 3 episode 5 "Frayed" I didn't think I would get into the series considering it was based off the movie(Which I didn't really care for) But the story for this series in my opinion is actually better, Btw the 1st episode I ever watched was the previous episode before this which was "Unleashed" and since then I've already watched all of season 2, I'll be watching season one next, Idk why but for some reason I'm watching the seasons in reverse order. :) :)

Is that the one where...
"What? I can't kill Russians if they invade Florida?"
Yes. ;)
My personal favorite was the one where they tricked that abusive father and husband into having a psychotic break.
"Is he talking about the killers again?"
Lost Season 2 Episodes 1-10
Too many episodes in one sitting to talk about them all individually, but so far this season has been filled with excellent character moment after excellent character moment, and held together by the show's ever-growing mythology that I just can't seem to get enough of. I'm really liking the dimensions added by the new characters that have joined the show. Any scene with Locke and Mr. Eko sharing the screen is fantastic, and I can not wait to see Desmond come back. Oh, Dharma is very intriguing...right up there with the numbers.
If I had just one complaint about the ten episodes so far, it would be the structure of 'The Other 48 Days'. The episode had an extremely interesting premise and a ton of great moments for the new characters, but the way the events were strung together just felt kind of awkward as it jumped from one day to the next.
Superman: The Animated Series
S01E04 - Fun and Games
S01E05 - A Little Piece of Home
S01E06 - Feeding Time
S01E07 - The Way of All Flesh
S01E08 - Stolen Memories
S01E09 - The Main Man Part 1
S01E10 - The Main Man Part 2
S01E11 - My Girl
S01E12 - Tools of the Trade
S01E13 - Two's a Crowd
Good stuff. The Lobo episodes were especially fun and Malcolm McDowell is excellent as John Corben (a.k.a. Metallo).
Caprica S1E10-11 'Unvanquished' and 'Retribution'
Excellent start to the second half of the season. I can definitely feel the show beginning to movie into BSG territory (a few winks and nods along the way helped solidify that) and the recent character developments (specifically with the Greystones, who I am finding to be the most interesting characters in the show) have been great.
I wanna start on something I haven't watched yet - what do you guys say?
Last season of
House M.D. or the previous season of
Dexter?

Ah, man, you've got to watch it. One of the greatest shows ever made. Much as I love Dexter, I must say, Breaking Bad is better. Unlike the former, its quality has never faltered, and has only increased with each season. I can't say there's ever been a bad episode, let alone a bad season.
Dexter it is then... I also watched the first 1 or 2 episodes with

It absolutely would. If you have Netflix, they have the entire thing up to the end of Season 4 on there. Past that there's only 8 episodes including the mid-Season 5 finale, with the final 8 episodes of the series coming on next month.
I would consider it the greatest American television show ever produced. Often times I say less about it than I could because of the fact that it's something I draw an endless amount of inspiration from, and it does a perfect job of speaking for itself. It's just something that needs to be experienced.
Ahm... I don't think I'm into these sci-fi series, sry but thx. ;)

I've seen a fair chunk of The X-Files.
From what I've seen, Breaking Bad is the better show.
Of course, the style and format of X-Files is one that I'm not much of a fan of in the first place, so I'm not quite the best judge.
I lasted two seasons.

That's not what you said before. So you saw The Erlenmeyer Flask and the actual beginning of the mythology?
Wasn't enough to get me hooked. The whole "monster of the week" thing wasn't for me.
I definitely see the appeal, and the lasting impact the show has had. It's just not my thing.
How many of the 202 episodes do we have to see to be able to judge it? ::)
Quote from: Cal427eb on Jul 08, 2013, 10:04:17 PM

At least more than just the first season, when the mythology hasn't even started,
But I know how anything before 2003 is culturally obsolete, no matter how massively influential it was and directly inspired or outright lead to the creation of all the modern shows you think are so awesome.
Well, I've seen the entire first season, and own about 20 scattered, episodes(on VHS) from all over the place, and I own one of the movies. It's not all that great. :-\
X-Files has a lot of nostalgia attached to it as well. New young audiences don't quite understand how groundbreaking it was when it first aired. It's 'just' another tv-show...
In theory a TV series has to catch your attention within the first season and in turn from the first episode. Otherwise don't bother with it.
Saying 'you didn't see all of it, thus you can't say you don't like it' is absolute nonsense. You can't watch 200+ episodes of something that did not grab your interest when you watched the first 5-10.
I.e. I have seen the first half-season of LOST back when it was first aired in a local TV channel. I got bored after the first... 5? 6? I-don't-remember episodes. The show is supposedly 'excellent' and there's a lot of following for it and a lot of positive buzz about it... but it didn't catch my interest within the first episodes -- so I decided not to follow it thereafter. Pretty simple.

It has aged far, far better than most modern shows will. It's so cinematic -- where even most TV shows today are flat and visually static. And considering the way Damon Lindelof and other modern showrunners openly pillage it, its influence isn't going away any time soon.

I never said anything like that. There are plenty of shows from the past century that I absolutely adore. I also fully understand and appreciate
The X-Files for the influence it's had, and I'm grateful for the inspiration it gave to many of my favourite television shows. However, the series itself, isn't for me.
I think I've made this comparison before. It's kinda like Robert Heinlein; I am eternally grateful for his works, and the massive influence that his writings have had on science-fiction as a whole. However, his books themselves, I'm not a big fan of.

Aaaaaand.... out come the rose-tinted glasses.
Watching it, it felt quite dated to me. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but it was clearly a product of '90s television. Maybe it got more cinematic in later season, I don't know.
I remember me and my cousins where addicted to the first seasons... then the interest dwindled... and we just couldnt care less about the show. :P Still havent seen the later seasons or the new movie. And i wouldnt feel sad if i never do.
That's the case of any longrunner show.

That is true. It's still hell of a lot better than most shit on TV now.
Yeah, it's very cinematic - great production values. Iconic score. Imitated over and over again. Part of pop culture.
X-Files, Riget/The Kingdom and Twin Peaks made the early 90s into the greatest time for high quality tv-shows we had seen up to that point, imo.

Considering your fetish for quirky shows with quirky characters, I think you're gonna love this one. I still think it's fantastic after all these years. :)
PS: the full series is on youtube, English subtitles. ;)
Well duh I'll probably love it, it's Lars von Trier :P
All of the Breaking Bad love on the past few pages is getting me really excited. I think that either that or Dexter will be the next show I jump into, since they're both ending soon.
X-files will always be my favorite tv show of all time. it was part of my up bringing.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
S01E01 - Pilot
It's been a long time since I watched this show, but it's still fun. Dean Cain is perhaps not the most obvious choice for Clark, but he's a really likeable guy and that sells it, in my opinion. Teri Hatcher is excellent as Lois Lane and her chemistry and rivalry with Clark is great. I grew up with Cain's and Hatcher's take on these characters, so even when they're not totally loyal to the source material, I'm able to forgive a lot. John Shea is really good as Luthor. There's a bit of Gene Hackman in his performance, but much more menacing and down to earth.
Looking forward to watching the rest. :)

I used to love that show!
I only very dimly remember that show now (I've been waiting for it to reappear in schedules for a while), but remember it working based on the strength of its performances more than anything else. Not sure if this will elicit much agreement, but I thought John Shea's Lex Luthor was the best version of the character we've seen on screens. Outwardly very slick and likeable, the public face of big business masking the moral void underneath.
Supernatural S2E01-03 'In My Time Of Dying', 'Everybody Loves A Clown', and 'Bloodlust'
Season 2 is off to a great start. I had accidentally spoiled the fact that

ahead of time, but even still that first episode was fantastic. It just hit all the right beats; I loved seeing another situation with a reaper, and I can't wait to see what is going to unfold with Sam. Ash looks like he's going to be a very fun character, too 8)

Very menacing. Can't wait to see more of him in the coming episodes.
I also really liked what they did with the vampires in 'Bloodlust'. I've seen a similar concept tackled before (the terrible
30 Days of Night sequel and
Blade come to mind) and I found it interesting.

The guy that played Eli actually have major supporting role in Season 8, as another vampire. :D
Speaking of Blade, him and Gordon would have a lot in common.
Supernatural gets a lot of crap because it sadly has attracted many of the wrong types of fans, but I still love it. Always reminded me of The X Files with the monster of the week formula and the larger overarching narrative. The first five seasons are the best as they are the complete story.
Interesting fact, both Jensen and Jarred have appeared in horror remakes, My Bloody Valentine and Friday the 13th respectively.

The
My Bloody Valentine Remake was awesome, I never expected the ending.
I've just acquired Neon Genesis Evangelion, and I'm going to begin watching it once my day is complete. I will be reporting back to this thread with my findings.
Great! Remeber to pass on the final two episodes (25 & 26), and go to The End of Evangelion instead.
Yep, the set came with The End of Evangelion included. :)

Nice, subbed or dubbed? The dub starts off a bit rocky due to the lack of context the actors were given for the characters and an awkward recording schedule, but it gets amazing around episode 6 onward for the leading roles.

Dubbed. Although it has both options. I find subbed tv shows a chore, tbh. I like to browse on my phone/laptop or draw while watching tv.
Yeah, dubbed is the option I chose; though I tried both.
Heads up that Evangelion 3.33 (the third Rebuild movie) is currently only available in Japanese, subbed (English dub currently being worked on by the North American distributor, Funimation), but considering the content, the sudden language shift actually really work in the context of the film's purposefully alienating nature.
Actually I'm fine with subtitled movies, I tend to sit and watch a movie, rather than the faffing about I do while watching a series. O.o
I'll watch subtitled live action foreign movies without substitute. Never got 'subbed elitism' in anime, especially when the dub is on-par, or at least gets there.
Though I do recommend you keep yourself relatively in-focus with Eva, as it gets very complex later on.
Total Blackout on Sy-Fy.
Lost S2E11-15 'The Hunting Party', 'Fire + Water', 'The Long Con', 'One of Them', and 'Maternity Leave'
This was a very bleak batch of episodes, and quite possibly the best yet. I know for a fact that, so far, 'Maternity Leave' has been my favorite episode. Very interesting seeing where things are going.

Supernatural S2E04-05 'Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things' and 'Simon Said'
Great pair of episodes that seem to have added a lot to the show's overall mythology. I love seeing more psychics in the show, and Andrew Gallagher was a lot of fun to watch.

Those are both excellent episodes. Did you recognize the female cop from
The Usual Suspects? ;)
Next episode,
Crossroad Blues, is another great one. It establishes some fine demon mythology that's going to be around for a long time.
Haha, I did indeed (though I must painfully admit to not having seen The Exorcist-- it is one of many classic horror movies that has eluded my radar).
Can't wait to check out the next one. The demon stuff so far has been great.

S02E18 - World's Finest Part 3
All of them have been fun to watch, but these last three were some of the best, showing us the first meeting between Superman and Batman. It was a lot of fun seeing all these characters interact with each other (Bruce and Clark, Lex and the Joker, Harley Quinn and Mercy).
Mxyzpixilated was a lot of fun too, though it came across more like a Looney Tunes episode. :laugh:

The X-Files"Biogenesis" (Season 6)
"The Sixth Extinction Pt. 1" (Season 7)
"The Sixth Extinction Pt. 2" (Season 7)
Scientists in South Africa unearth an ancient alien spacecraft that is billions of years old, contains the original texts for all the modern holy books and scriptures of every major religion from Earth's past and present, as well as detailed DNA blueprints for all life on Earth, including human beings. The ship seems to be a sentinel that has guided the evolution of all life on the planet for over three billion years, and has manipulated humanity at large with religious displays and cultural interactions designed to make sure humanity comes about and populates the Earth... so that when our alien progenitors return, they have plenty of biologically compatibale host material to use to reconstitute themselves. This is dazzling, heady, intelligent science fiction. Unfortunately, Chris Carter falls prey to his tendency to favor character drama over thoroughly exploring these ideas, and it starts getting ridiculously overwrought. The final scene is a tearjerker that makes up for most of it, though.

Last TV shows I watched:
ALF - Mr. Ochmonek kills and buries his wife Raquel, or so ALF thinks he did. 9/10
Powerpuff Girls - Bubbles becomes mean (hilarious, 8/10) and was mainly for study research of art patterns (for the future art schooling) ::)
Only recently did I discover that Tara Strong (voice of Bubbles) also did the voice of Timmy Turner (Fairly Oddparents) and many other cartoons. Where have I been? To think the slut from National Lampoons Senior Trip would turn out to do cartoon voices for a career!!!

Finished the first season.
The show is a stack of modern TV drama cliches (white male antihero leads a double life of shady dealings while trying to keep it secret from the law, co-workers, family, friends -- see The Sopranos, House of Cards, Mad Men, Dexter, Boss, Do No Harm (lulz), etc, etc, -- he even has a person close to him who is directly situated on the other side of the law (gasp), which means inevitable reveal/showdown when the writers need to trot out some drama in later seasons!). Also, Standard Operating Drug Dealer scenes such as beatdowns from rival drug runners, tense confrontations with major drug lord and his henchmen where hero successfully uses his wits for leverage. The padding is pretty hit and miss, too (Skylar's sister is shoplifting?!) But it's all well written and Cranston is good.
Too much Cranston nudity and not enough Aaron Paul skin, though. Minus points.

It's laughable, lucky the tone of the show isn't always deadly serious so I give it a pass.
The Unflinching Walk is in pretty much every single TV show ever made, so it's not a big deal I'd say. It's only bad when it's in ridiculous slow motion.
Lol that's not the worst part of it.....

I'd say the worst, most unnecessary part with the cousins was the ax murder stuff at the house in the middle of nowhere. I was just scratching my head at why that was included. Aside from that and the unflinching walk, it's not all that bad.
To be honest they are the lowest characters in the entire show, it really took me out of it every time they appeared on screen, I would have preferred twins ala Danny divito and Arnold than those two would have been much easier to suspend my disbelief.

Yup, once I can get my hands on it. I have already seen some of the episodes before, but never the whole thing.
Aye. Was thinking about picking up the seasons myself.
Supernatural S2E08-09 'Crossroad Blues' and 'Croatoan'
Like I said before, season 2 keeps on getting better and better. The last episode ended on a pretty great cliffhanger, teasing some information that I've been dying to find out.

I kind of picture Hellhounds to look like the ones from
Ghostbusters.
Was thinking the same thing :D
Great minds all think alike apparently, I've always imagined them like that.
Though it's not such a funny thought considering what they do later in the show
There was just an episode of a US documentary series on tv, with a gang of self-proclaimed 'scientifically able and knowledgeable', cool, young hip persons investigating paranormal phenomena via 'scientific' methodology...
I hope this shit was not produced by the Discovery Channel or Nat Geographic, because...

The group watches a short home video clip that obviously shows a person running in the Everglades in a bigfoot costume, just 'accidentally' captured by someone with a camera. Of course the quality is very poor so you can't see details.Female 'investigator':
"Wow - that can't be a human because humans can't run like that in the marsh. I know. A creature on the other hand could run like that."Male 'investigator':
"Uhu... yeah... I think you're on to something..."

Yep, that's it! :D
There were two episodes and that very ghost case was in there as well. They ended up visiting the place, the woman who sent the video and checked out the gravestone of a fallen soldier from the US Civil War - a headstone that pointed in the direction of a haunted house or something...
I just saw tidbits but OMG... :D
The show is fake as hell. They've been caught numerous times faking videos, etc. ::)

Not surprised by hearing that, actually. I think one of the lead investigators is presented as a
former FBI agent lol.
At least it's not one of the 'respectable' networks producing this. Even the lighthearted popular science programs on Discovery now, are lightyears better than this shite...
The Lone Gunmen: Complete Series
Chris Carter and Vince Gilligan's X-Files spinoff leans a bit too heavily on broad humor and slapstick as opposed to the sly wit of its parent series's comedy episodes, but it's a lot of fun, and it progressively finds its feet better as it goes along (highlights include a Nazi baker murderess in "Eine Kleine Frohike", a government engineered superintelligent chimp that uses a computer to talk with the voice of British actor Edward Woodward in "Planet of the Frohikes", and a clever, surprisingly compassionate riff on the similarly titled film with "The Lying Game").
7/10
Lost S2E21-23 '?', 'Three Minutes', and 'Live Together, Die Alone'
A fantastic ending to the second season. These last few post-'Two For The Road' episodes have had lots of great emotional moments that really packed a punch and were filled to the brim with intriguing Dharma-related mysteries that I can't wait to learn more about.
And those last couple minutes of the finale screwed with my mind, big-time. Great stuff.
The X-Files: Season 9 Mytharc
The series's mytharc proper ended with Fight the Future and the sixth season eps "Two Fathers" and "One Son", before being rebooted in Season 8 to surprisingly excellent results; one could tell Chris Carter intended Season 8's mytharc to be the show's last hurrah, in which he threw every ounce of pathos and suspense he could into a series that had halfway lost one of its major stars and now revolved around a potentially disastrous pregnancy macguffin. It all ended on an exciting, solidly satisfying season finale that would have (and should have) served as the series finale proper.
But then Fox decided to continue the show with or without Chris Carter, forcing him back into the show runner chair out of pride, and then producing the series killing, reputation destroying Season 9, in which the show's grandly epic and ambitious mytharc takes a shocking nosedive into complete unwatchability. After building up an awesomely-ludicrous-yet-ludicrously awesome tale of alien invasion, encompassing all of Earth's history, and the myriad squabbling political factions of humanity trying to either aid, stop or sidestep it for eight seasons, the final season's mytharc revolves around the most unimaginative, boring scifi concept imaginable: supersoldiers. Even worse, the show's most groundbreaking and dynamic element, its cinematic scope and high production values, have been slashed. Gone are the visually stunning set pieces the show produced in the past; now all the "action" is confined to apartments and office rooms while rehashed suspense plots unfold, and the glossy, stylized cinematography is gone. For the first time, X-Files looks like what it always so gloriously avoided being -- just another TV show.
And while the much hated series finale has most of these flaws, as well as the impossible task of effectively wrapping up nine seasons worth of convoluted sci-fi conspiracy intrigue, it at least fortunately finds something of the groove that made the first eight seasons work -- the emotional connection to the characters that also evaporated in Season Nine, as Duchovny was gone, Gillian Anderson reduced to a mere supporting character, and Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish trying hard but never escaping their shadow. It starts out awful, gets progressively better if only for the way Carter outlines the entire mytharc in broad cliffnotes format (it all does hang together, more or less, contrary to common consensus), and ends strong with a tearjerker of a scene between Duchovny and Anderson, alone, on the run, and facing a bleak future, but finally reunited. Given the rest of the season, it could have ended a lot worse.
This is the crap I a supposed to look forward to, oh shit.
Just skip to the series finale and try and ignore the rest of the season. Trust me.
I like 'The Truth' its one of my fav episodes. :'(
I like what it
tries to do more than what it actually does.
Spoiler
I do really like the scene where CSM returns, though, all gloating and evil.
Maison Ikkoku - Epsiode 51: Even yotsura Is Shocked! The Day Maison Ikkoku Disappears
So it turns out the new tenant at Ikkoku is a spy for a real estate company who plans to tear down Ikkoku and put up a newer apartment complex. Decent episode, at least Mitaka doesn't hit on Kyoko and Godai co-operates with Mitaka without any fighting.
Supernatural S2E10-11 'Hunted' and 'Playthings'
'Hunted' was great, and expanded on a lot of my favorite things in the show. Can't wait to see more of Sam's 'kind'...and more of Ava in particular. And 'Playthings' was creepy as hell.
Ava will come back and when she does, things will get interesting.
Next up is Nightshifter, which I believe is one of First Blood's favorites. :)
Just looked at the episode description in the box... A shapeshifter and Terminator 2 references... I think I'm in for a treat :D
What do you think of Bobby, by the way? I don't know if he's had that much screen time yet, but he becomes a pretty prominent father figure for the boys now that John is gone.
I've only seen him once or twice so far, I believe, and he hasn't done much yet, but I've liked him so far. Heard he becomes a very cool character :)

Series 3 finale was on tonight in the UK. More of a mini series I suppose rather than a full blown one.
Only started watching it last week but there was only 14 episodes in total so I managed to catch up on Netflix and the iPlayer for tonights finale.
Great series and surprisingly dark and violent for a BBC production.
I'm about midway through series 1 of that. I'm liking it, but not loving it. I've heard that series 2 is phenomenal, though, so I keep watching.
Quote from: Keg on Jul 24, 2013, 12:06:56 AMGreat series and surprisingly dark and violent for a BBC production.
Bit
too nasty for my liking actually. I've only seen the first episode of season 3 so far, had the rest piling up on my Sky box for the last few weeks. I did love the second season, with its whacky antagonists and the mini-movie approach lending an epic scale. And Idris Elba, as always, is a paragon of charisma, talent and awesomeness. But season 3 just seems to be following the trend of unpleasant Scandinavian housewife-botherers.
Didnt really see much difference in Seasons 2 and 3. Season 1 is the most straight up crime drama whereas Season's 2 and 3 lean more toward horror in some episodes. Actually for both Season 2 and 3 the opening episodes are filled with dread and alot of tension but they both finish the series with a more in your face storyline.
Supernatural S2E12-13 'Nightshifter' and 'Houses of the Holy'
These two episodes couldn't have been more different from one another, but they were both great in their own ways. I can definitely see why 'Nightshifter' is a favorite of First Blood's, and I really liked a lot of the religious themes that served as the focus of 'Houses of the Holy'. I suspect those will become important down the line, when
Spoiler
angels
are actually introduced for real.
It was also particularly cool that 'Houses of the Holy' took place close to home, though I will say that I didn't exactly see anything that screamed "home" to me :P
After the next episode, there's Tall Tales. If you haven't already, don't read the episode preview for that one. You're better of not knowing what's going on. Let's just say it's one of the best episodes in the entire series. ;D

Maison Ikkoku - High School Girl Power! War Against Kyoko's Love! : Godai is hired as a student teacher at an all girls school. It also where Kyoko met her teacher and original husband. When the strong willed class president (Yagami) falls for Godai, history might be repeating itself. Great epsiode, I am very glad MI kept in line with the manga up to this point!
Barefaced Attack! Operation Seduction - Yagami will stop at nothing to get the man she wants: student teacher Godai. Will he be able to resist when she traps him in a storage room and uses her "womanly" assets? Another great episode, again keeping in truth to the manga. It only gets better (and hotter) from here on!

Justice League Season One
Secret Origins Part 1-3
Well it's been close to a decade since I've last watched this show and it hasn't lost its charm at all. The opening arc pulls elements from Invasion of the Body Snatchers and War of Worlds with the Justice League doing battle with aliens from the unknown. The selection heroes they chose are close to perfect. There's Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and the mysterious badass J'onn J'onzz. I really can't wait to watch the rest of these episodes and move on to Unlimited. That's when the roster really explodes.
Also thinking of picking up Superman: The Animated Series. 8)
Secret Origins is the same one that was edited into a film for a VHS release, right? Used to own that when I was younger, and I can't even begin to count how many times I watched it. Loved it so much.

The Lost Room
A mini series made by the sci-fi channel or how it likes to known now as syfy channel. Don't want to give too much away but its about normal every day objects that have a secondary powerful use, to use one as an example a comb that freeze time for 10 seconds. Yeah its over the top and the acting can be wooden but it well worth the watch.
Maison Ikkoku - Pajama Girl Charges In! MI in a Love Panic : Yagami visits MI, scheming to spend the night in Godai's room. Saving her tenant from almost certain temptation, Kyoko takes her into her own room for the night. There Yagami pleads for info on how to seduce one's student teacher. Another great episode, Yagami is one crazy high school girl...
Yagami is Determined I Won't Give Up My First Love! : With Godai relentlessly pursued by his crafty student, and Coach Mitaka being setup to marry an heiress, Kyoko's getting worried. Such a good episode I had to start a new disc from the Volume 5 box set!

Top Of The Lake episode 2. I'm done with this show, it's bloody miserable. Every man in it is a loathsome misogynist - maybe that's the point, but that doesn't make it any more watchable or socially pertinent (I'm well aware that guys are dicks). The sole redeeming factor thus far has been the scenery, but I think I'll wait for Attenborough's next narration job for my fix of that.

Top Of The Lake episode 2. I'm done with this show, it's bloody miserable. Every man in it is a loathsome misogynist - maybe that's the point, but that doesn't make it any more watchable or socially pertinent (I'm well aware that guys are dicks). The sole redeeming factor thus far has been the scenery, but I think I'll wait for Attenborough's next narration job for my fix of that.
Actually,
all the characters are unlikeable, just to different extremes. It's still very chilling and that ending is disturbing but very fitting with all the build-up. It also doesn't spoon-feed everything to you and is well worth a second watch to pick up on certain things you might have missed the first time around.

Maison Ikkoku - Be Still My Beating Heart! Asuna's Very First Time! : Asuna and all her pet dogs are fixated on Mitaka. Godai has a pre-schooler expecting marry her someday. Both men try desperately to turn them down for Kyoko, but, as usual, crazy misunderstandings rule the day at Maison Ikkoku. Episodes like this make me laugh and want to cry, such a great series!
Top of the lake.
Eps 1 /2
I hadn't realised that the excellent Peter Mullan was cast in this, combine him with David Wenham, and Holly hunter we get some real decent acting, and some well written and delivered dialogue, that sell the cast as believable characters.
Although Elizabeth Moss isn't quite pulling off the accent even with the infered "Sydneysider" inflection, would have been better off with the initially cast Anna Paquin.
As for the lingering scenery and visually metaphoric shots its more than a passing resemblance to the much maligned (in these parts) Terry Malick, the tone is quite moody which suits but not as bleak as I expected, I like the fact the refuge is named paradise, little things like that are keeping me interested, only negative is the it feels to lack some focus but I'll cut it slack as its trying to introduce a fairly large cast in a somewhat limited period of time.
Well, to each their own; I think it's horseshit.
Speaking of which, just watched the third episode of Luther's new season. It's mildly less terrible and disappointing than the first two, largely because it's less nasty, and focuses on a more interesting antagonist than the bog-standard nutters of the last two. However, it's still deeply flawed. Luther's writing is all wrong - far from coming off as an unscrupulous genius, he seems to be brain damaged... whenever he has anything more incisive to say than "Aw'ight" or grunting, it's to say something hilariously obvious - "If we don't stop him, this is gonna get very bad." And the internal affairs investigators don't seem to have noticed that they're colossal f**king hypocrites.
Was strongly considering following my Top Of The Lake suit and just giving up on the show, but as it's less nasty now, and still stars Idris Elba, I'll stay on board for the last episode. I do strongly recommend the second season though, and most of the first.

Top of the Lake gets off to a slow start but it's a rewarding watch that stays with you. Hope you enjoy the rest of it.

The last few eps of the second season are surprisingly well done, this whole season has basically shat on any goodwill afforded by it.
Spielberg needs to stop making T.V. shows.
Yeah the Spielbergisims are what brings the show down, the harnessed kids, sappy family dynamics, and so on.
The writer of Saving private Ryan is just as much to blame to be honest.
The series is about to change over to its fifth show runner another battlestar alum "David Eick" apparently the 4th season is going to be pretty good... I'll wait and see how next weeks ep pans out.
Lost S3E04-08 'Every Man For Himself', 'The Cost Of Living', 'I Do', 'Not In Portland', and 'Flashes Before Your Eyes'
This show is getting very dark, and getting better and better as it goes on an expands the mythology.
Spoiler
Eko, no :'(
And it was pretty cool seeing Nathan Fillion as Kate's husband.
is at its best when it gets weird, and 'Flashes Before Your Eyes' was exceptionally weird. Loved every second of that one.
Ah, man, just wait for "The Constant". One of the best episodes in the show.
Finished the 4th season of Farscape
Oh boy. What a hell of a show. :)

'The Constant'...season 4...so far away :P
But if me mentioning the great 'Flashes Before Your Eyes' made it come up in a conversation, it must be excellent ;D
Yup, The Constant is a Desmond-centric episode, and widely considered the best episode in the series. I don't think I could narrow down my favorites, but The Constant would definitely be on it.

You poor f**ker.....
I finished up Top of the Lake,
I liked the ending sickening as it was, but as i've previously stated Elizabeth Moss was miscast as Robin, the accent continued to grate on my ears especially in more emotionally charged scenes, i don't understand why they couldn't have given her an american background, that would explain the trans/atlantic/pacific accent.
Also got a little pissed with the Robins character motivations, doing dumb shit all the time for someone thats had so many shitty things happen to her.
also liked the visual metaphors like the dear head's very subtly handled, the show became more bleak as it progressed, worth the watch, recommended, not sure if i could watch it again though.

Without a doubt one of the best anima-- one of the best sci-fi sh-- one of the best shows ever made. From heavy metal, to soul, to abnormal adorability (Ein and Ed), to an episode-long Alien homage, it's a series of constant joys and engaging drama. The sci-fi elements and art design never feels conventional, and it's almost fetishistic to sci-fi nuts in its painterly look. I nearly no-frictioned when Spike used weapon recoil in zero gravity for course correction.
My favorite part is that, amongst the huge-scale, beautiful world building is the amount of depth and heart the lead characters have-- and they're all lovable in their own unique ways. Their unconventional teamwork and friendly competitions are endless fun to watch amidst the highly personal character drama piece episodes that continue to unravel each of the Bebop's crew.
It was the love of what I saw that kept me from returning the show unless I knew I had the time to barrel through, and luckily, after starting again from the beginning to where I left off and beyond, I'm finally able to indulge in it. Really, it won me over as effortlessly as Spike works over any random thug.
That's my favourite TV show ever.
The ending will break your heart.
The film is also very good but was made to work strictly for fans of the tv show... and takes place between a couple of episodes of the show.

'Stranger In A Strange Land'
You have officially made is past what is without a doubt the worst episode in the show.
Really? I didn't have any problem with it. It wasn't anything spectacular, but I didn't notice anything particularly wrong with it, either.
Definitely no worse than the boar with the vendetta against Sawyer in the first season :D
Aw man, maybe it's because I was aware of that general concensus going in, but I was just cringing the whole time... I almost wanted to skip it, only because of how bad it was making one of my favorite shows look. Just brutal, boring, pointless, and a flashback portion of pure AGONY. Made Jack insufferable and I thought the twist was going to be that the Tai hooker actually had a penis the entire time.
I didn't mind the boar in S1 because I got Lord of the Flies vibes, and it worked as a metaphor for something much greater (also, the hunting/bonding stuff between Kate and Sawyer was great).

Aye, the chemistry between the characters and the meaning behind it was quite interesting (reminded me of BSG's 'Scar', actually). I guess I just found the concept to be a little bit out there, even for

I don't think that they could have made these two episodes any different if they tried.

Nightmare, meet Loki. 8)
One of my favorite episodes and favorite characters in the whole show. Do yourself a favour and don't look up the character in any way though. There are surprises to be had. :)
Excellent 8) I had a lot of fun with him, and look forward to seeing him pop up again down the line.
Supernatural S2E16 'Roadkill'
Another very good episode with a rather chilling and emotional twist. Tricia Helfer is always great to see as well.
Supernatural S2E17-22 'Heart', 'Hollywood Babylon', 'Folsom Prison Blues', 'What Is And What Should Never Be', 'All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 1)', and 'All Hell Breaks Loose (Part 2)'
'Heart' packed a huge emotional punch right there at the end (and Emmanuelle Vaugier :-* ), 'Hollywood Babylon' was a ton of fun, 'Folsom Prison Blues' put Sam and Dean in one of their coolest situations yet, and 'What Is And What Should Never Be' may just be my favorite episode of the entire series (perhaps tied with season 1's 'Home' and season 2's premiere, 'In My Time Of Dying').
And then the finale came...that was one
hell of a finale (pun kind of intended). So many great things went down right there. A lot of excellent closure on what the first two seasons set up, and it opened the doors (quite literally) for what it to come down the road. I can't wait to jump into the third season.
If I had just one complaint, it would be how

quickly they got rid of Ash... he definitely deserved more than he got this season :-\

Season 3 is a bit shorter though, due to the writers strike, I think.

Suits
Season 1 & 2
Not a bad show. More of a time killer than anything else really.
Castle
Season 1: Episode 1 to Episode 7
Looks promising. I actually started watching this because of a random episode I caught on TV and clearly it's still working its way up to the quality of that episode.
Last night's season premiere of Breaking Bad. Still got goosebumps after the last scene!
Finally got myself to sit down and finish up all of
Caprica. Overall, the show is not exactly on par with the standards set by
Battlestar Galactica and it suffered a bit from some fairly extensive lulls in progression in the middle of the season, but by the end the show really did turn into something special in and of itself. The ties to the overall BSG mythology were great, and the events that transpired at the end of the season (especially the stuff in the fantastic finale) did an excellent job paving the road for the inevitable events that will lead to humanity's ultimate struggle in
Battlestar Galactica. There were a ton of great ideas and concepts in that final montage that I assume was added only after the show's creators learned that they were canceled. On one hand I wish that there was a second season to tie up the loose ends that the series left when it was canceled, but for what it was
Caprica worked as a single standalone season.
Huge Battlestar Galactica spoiler below:Spoiler
I would have loved to have seen the Galen Tyrol appearance that was supposed to happen in the second season if the show had continued.
I saw that there are a lot of Supernatural fans on here. So even though I haven't seen the show here is something I saw on Tumbr Supernatural fans will enjoy. Not sure if it has any spoilers in it. :P

Supernatural S3E01-02 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'The Kids Are Alright'
The season premiere was pretty cool, though I feel like they could have done a bit more with the seven deadly sins. Loved Dean's Se7en reference :D
'The Kids Are Alright' was excellent; one of the creepiest episodes so far. I really liked the kid in it, and I can already tell that Ruby is going to be a very interesting character. Nice that some of my questions about Sam and Dean's mother from last season are already being tackled, too.

Supernatural S3E03 'Bad Day at Black Rock'
Had a ton of fun with this one. I fail to understand the negative feedback that Bella supposedly received. And on the topic of Bella, I loved the Lugosi and Talbot references. Also... "I'm Batman" 8)
Cool seeing more of Gordon, too.

I don't mind Bella myself.
Supernatural S3E04-07 'Sin City', 'Bedtime Stories', 'Red Sky At Morning', and 'Fresh Blood'
This season has been quite dark, which is fitting given Sam and Dean's race against the clock. Bella has been a very fun addition to the cast so far, and the Gordon stuff in that last episode as fantastic. Never expected them to go in that direction with the character, but it made for an excellent episode.
I'm kind of curious about what Ruby did with the Colt...

Spoiler
Well, it's quite obvious that Dead doesn't die (permanently), seeing as he's still kicking in the most recent season :D
Hearing them refer to Sam as the Anti-Chirst reminded me of something that I heard a while back, that Dean is an avatar of good or something like that, and Sam is evil. I'm kind of guessing that that may come into play by the end of the season. Maybe the brothers serve some sort of purpose they have to fulfill and some supernatural force simply doesn't want them to die yet. I'm going to assume that the 'boss' that the Crossroads Demon mentioned to Sam was Lucifer. Since he's the one holding all of the cards, maybe he's that force.
Beyond that, I'm utterly clueless :D

American Horror Story Asylum eps 1-3
continuing tonight.
Twin Peaks Episode 1-3
I feel like a stumbled into a crazy person's head.
I decided to give Top Of The Lake another try for the last two or three episodes, and it does have deeper significance than it initially conveys, and becomes quite compulsive viewing. Also has lots of character development and interactions, some subtle, others emphatically not. That said, it's still thoroughly miserable.
Supernatural S3E08-10 'A Very Supernatural Christmas', 'Malleus Maleficarum', and 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me'
The Christmas episode was actually rather heartwarming (except for the whole evil Pagan gods and fingernail thing :P ), and 'Malleus Maleficarum' had a very interesting take on witches and had one big revelation on the demons that I certainly didn't see coming. 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' was a bit jarring a first, but it wound up having some of the best moments of the season so far. Dean's confrontation with himself in his mind was chilling, and when he admitted his fears to Sam I really began to feel the stakes rising (especially with a mere six episodes left in the season). Loved the glimpses of Bobby's backstory as well.

Was that the one with Demon Dean?
Not that you've see a bit more of the character, how do you like Bobby?
Yup, that's the one.
And I'm loving Bobby so far. I seem to remember an old post where you said that you liked him as a father figure more than John, and I'm definitely beginning to see that. His advice is always helpful, and his episodes are always a lot of fun.

Supernatural S3E11-12 'Mystery Spot' and 'Jus In Bello'
'Mystery Spot' was insane in all the right ways :D It went from terrifying to hilarious to depressing and back to hilarious more times than I can count, and was a blast throughout. And 'Jus in Bello' was just badass. I can not wait to see more of Lilith.

Supernatural S3E13-15 'Ghostfacers!', 'Long Distance Call', and 'Time Is On My Side'
The Ghostfacers are great :D I found the conclusion to Bella's story to be very sudden, but still it was quite good.
Just the finale left now. Will be watching that later tonight or tomorrow morning, and I can now wait!!! ;D
S3E16 'No Rest for the Wicked'
Fantastic conclusion to what I think was probably the best season. Lilith seems like she is going to be menacing in the coming season, and Sam has a very interesting future ahead of him. And then there's that whole little Dean thing going on...
Also, bring on the angels 8)

The first episode of Season 4 just opens up a whole new world for this show. Definitely one of my favorites throughout the entire show. :)

Holy shit Jack and Claire are half-brother and sister.
And every scene Locke shares with his father in flashbacks is gut-wrenching. I can't wait to see what's up with him being on the island.
Juliette has been one of the biggest highlights of this season so far for me. The way she is written and acted work brilliantly; I have no clue whatsoever where her allegiances lie, and I'm loving every single revelation made about her character.
Learning more about the Others this season has been great as well.
Bones. My dad and I have went through 4 seasons in just as many weeks. We be lovin it.
Supernatural S4E01-02 'Lazarus Rising' and 'Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester'
With just two brief appearances Castiel already lives up to the hype 8) Ruby's new appearance was a bit jarring at first, but it makes sense. And I loved the use of deceased characters as ghosts in the second episode, especially

Meg. Her scenes were especially great.
Overall a fantastic start to the season. Opened up a ton of doors (or one seal, if you will :P ) that I am very, very intrigued by. So far each season has one upped the previous one with the show's constantly expanding mythology, and so far this one seems no different.

Yup, that was great. Especially the shot of his wings in the flickering lights. The room with all the various symbols and whatnot on the walls was a cool touch as well.
I also really loved the beginning of the episode, when it was mostly a Dean solo act. Lots of eerie moments there. Does he end up having more visions/recollections Hell?

Supernatural S4E03-08 'In The Beginning', 'Metamorphosis', 'Monster Movie', 'Yellow Fever', 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester', and 'Wishful Thinking'
'In The Beginning' was awesome. Loved the look at John and Mary's past, and Azazel was just as menacing as ever. I had a ton of fun with 'Monster Movie' and 'Yellow Fever' (I think Dean's interpretation of Eye of the Tiger will forever be in my mind when I listen to the song :D ). 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester' was up there with 'In The Beginning' as the best from this batch. The demon was one of the coolest in the show yet, and the mythology and progression of the story was very interesting.
So far the angels haven't exactly been what I was expecting, but that is not at all a bad thing. I can not wait to see what's up with them (Cass especially) and how they progress moving forward.

Pillars Of The Earth
Gorgeous series produced by Ridley and Tony Scott. Production values are through the roof and the performances are very good. Intrigues, murder, torture and the occasional rough sex scenes are guaranteed. For those who love GOT, this is a must. Watching the concluding episode in the weekend.
First time hearing about the show, but it seems like its got a solid cast.
I finally got around to finishing the second season of Strike Back and it was f**king great much like the first season. I thought the second season was much more focused and the two leads play off each other very well. Charles Dance as the season's principle villain was very good; a character willing to lose the one's close to him and start Armageddon so he can unite Africa. Also this was probably the best role Vincent Regan has done thus far. 8)

Supernatural S4E11-12 'Family Remains' and 'Criss Angel Is A Douchebag'
'Family Remains' was really freaky, and 'Criss Angel is a Douchebag' was actually unexpectedly sad. I can't wait to see just what, exactly, Ruby talked Sam into doing.
That episode title. :laugh:
Supernatural S4E13-16 'After School Special', 'Sex And Violence', 'Death Takes A Holiday', and 'On The Head Of A Pin'
Holy shit... Alastair's new body was menacing as hell and that interrogation scene was mesmerizingly insane. Throw in some more revelations about Sam's powers, Uriel's ultimate 'revelation', Castiel being a badass, and that final conversation in the hospital and just-- wow!
Battlestar Galactica: "Daybreak"
And with that, my third series watchthrough is complete. It's always a helluva a ride, and always ends on a beautifully poetic finale. This time it came at very fitting and poignant point in my life; it may have made the biggest impact on me this time around. I just can't describe how much I love this episode, the conclusion it brings everything to. Each and every character gets a fitting ending; not all necessarily happy, but all good and all deserved.
As always, I feel sad bidding these characters farewell. I've been through quite a journey with them, and I look forward to going through it all again.
So say we all.
Great way to put it. It is such an emotional 2 or so hours. Love it so much.

And with that, my third series watchthrough is complete. It's always a helluva a ride, and always ends on a beautifully poetic finale.

Excellent. I can not wait to watch the show again myself, in due time.

Holy shit... Alastair's new body was menacing as hell and that interrogation scene was mesmerizingly insane. Throw in some more revelations about Sam's powers, Uriel's ultimate 'revelation', Castiel being a badass, and that final conversation in the hospital and just-- wow!
Two fantastic episodes so far. Christopher Heyerdahl was just crazy as Alastair.
The next episode is going to be a weird one. :laugh:
Supernatural S4E17-22 'It's A Terrible Life', 'The Monster At The End Of This Book', 'Jump The Shark', 'When The Levee Breaks', and 'Lucifer Rising'
Wow...
An utterly fantastic conclusion to the season. I'm not even exactly sure what to say right now. This show continuously surpasses my expectations and manages to increase the scale of of events both future and past in incredibly unexpected ways all while keeping the focus and emotion where it really matters. I can not wait to reach the show's intended conclusion with season five. This has been a fantastic ride.

OR WAS IT!?
I'm glad you liked it, man. Did things pan out as expected? Now that you've finished the season, what did you think of new Ruby? Fun fact - Genevieve Cortese and Jared Padalecki actually got married. :laugh:
It was odd adjusting to the new Ruby at first, but by the end I began to really like her. Well, not like, but you know :P I thought she had a great story going, especially this season and the way it intertwined with Sam's.
And I heard that her and Jared got married-- they poke fun at that in the real-world episode in season six, right? :D
Also, Chuck is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite new additions this season, despite only appearing in two episodes.

Chuck is great. The whole LARP thing and the Winchester gospel is pretty awesome on a whole. :laugh:
What are your thoughts and expectations on Season 5? How do you think it's all going to end? :)
Honestly, I'm not really sure. I'm still pretty in the dark about the angel's ultimate plans for this. I mean, Zachariah gave us his side of the story, but I feel like there's a lot more too it than that.
Spoiler
If I'm remembering correctly, I seem to recall that I heard a while ago that Sam and Dean are supposed to be destined to be vessels for Lucifer and the archangel Michael or something like that (which the finale seemed to be setting up), so I'm sure that that is going to come into play in the coming episodes. I know how the Biblical story goes down, and I'm going to assume that the show echoes that in some ways, but I have no clue what the Supernatural take on it is going to be.
Castiel is also a bit of a loose cannon at this point. He definitely has an interest in Dean and some problems with the way things are going upstairs, and I can't wait to see him really come into his own.
I loved the way that they tied Azazel's plans into the finale, by the way. As if his plan didn't seem big enough in the first two seasons, this episode made him and his schemes huge and downright terrifying. I love the way he keeps popping back into the story. I have no clue if he does or not, but I'd love to get another appearance or two out of him in season five.
Are you going to watch some of Season 5 tonight? ;) ;D
If I get the chance, it won't be for another 6+ hours :P
Tomorrow I will definitely be squeezing some in, though. I want to try to have it finished before class starts up again next Tuesday :)
Sons of Anarchy Season One

I've been wanting to give this show a proper go from the beginning. Right off the bat, I liked it. Although I don't know all the club members names yet, with the exception of Jax & Clay - they're all very different looking; with helps distinguish them. My favorite member would have to be the guy with the thick Irish accent. And oh hai, also there's the sleazy movie producer from Resident Evil: Afterlife! :D
Looking forward to more.

I watched the first two seasons but then stopped for some reason. I guess it didn't quite hook me. :-\
Supernatural S5E01-04 'Sympathy For The Devil', 'Good God, Y'all', 'Free To Be You And Me', and 'The End'
And with that season five is off to an excellent start, beginning immediately after the events of season four's powerful ending. So far this season has put Sam and Dean's relationship ion a very interesting place, which seems natural given the immensely upped stakes. Castiel is even better here than he was last season, and the introduction of the first Horseman of the Apocalypse was great as well. And lets not forget that peek into the apocalyptic future in 'The End'.
I loved seeing Ellen and Jo (and Rufus, too!) pop up again in 'Good Day, Y'all', and really want to see them in bigger roles as the season progresses. I also really liked Emma Bell's (
The Walking Dead's Amy) in her 'Free To Be You And Me' appearance. Also...future Cas! :D Shout out to Mark Pellegrino as well; I haven't seen very much of him yet, but so far he's owning the role.
This is probably going to sound stupid, and for all I know it may be contradicted in an upcoming episode or later season, but with all of this talk of vessels I can't help but think that it would be interesting for
Spoiler
Jeffrey Dean Morgan to come back as a vessel for God, if the show ever decides to go that route. I mean, there's the constant theme running of the father (John, God) being missing and the children trying to find him even with all odds against them. Not to mention the fact that God created the angels (Michael and the Devil) just as John is the father of Dean and Sam.
I can tell you right now that the subject of God as the absent father is going to be touched upon in Season 5, but not in the way you suspected/wished for.
What do you think of the new Meg? It took me a while to get used to her (much like the new Ruby), but she's excellent in the role. Trust me when I say there's an episode in Season 5 that is going to make you hate her. ;) ;D
Mark Pellegrino is the best Lucifer I have seen on screen. Interesting fact - he was considered for the role of Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead as well. He's also in Lost, but I don't know if you're that far into the show yet.
Also, I forgot to ask you before, but what did you think of Adam? We haven't seen the last of him. ;)

Supernatural S5E07-08 'The Curious Case Of Dean Winchester' and 'Changing Channels'
Trickster episodes are always an absolute blast, and 'Changing Channels' was definitely not an exception. I don't think this show had me laughing this hard since his last appearance back in season three. I thought the big revelation near the end was handled very well and introduced some pretty interesting ideas, and I can't wait to see what it does for the character in the future.

Archangels. What did you think of Raphael? His intro and his wings were some of the coolest things in Season 5. 8)
Aye, that was great. Loved his
"And the eastern seaboard" line 8)
Just watched episodes 9 and 10, 'The Real Ghostbusters' and 'Abandon All Hope...'.
'The Real Ghostbusters' was another really fun episode. Chuck was awesome as always, and the way the convention stuff was handled was hilarious. Seasons four and five have had a lot of very interesting self-referential meta episodes like this.
And then came 'Abandon All Hope...'. I can help but praise Pellegrino in his portrayal of the terrifying Lucifer. And Crowley was a lot of fun; I am very much looking forward to seeing more of him down the line. Cas was also a big standout in the episode, with his scenes with Lucifer and Meg being among the highlights. And then, of course, there was
that scene... :'(

Well, I've been grabbing the seasons online from eBay and Amazon. Bought the first two used for a little under $20 each, but the packaging of the second one was damaged so I started paying a few extra bucks and got three-five new new at a little closer to the $20 mark.
The only one that I'm assuming is going to cost much above that is eight, since it has yet to be released.
Hmmmmm. Doesn't sound too bad.
Supernatural S5E11-13 'Sam, Interrupted', 'Swap Meat', and 'The Song Remains The Same'
'Sam, Interrupted' was actually really creepy. The premise reminded me a bit of the season 2 episode 'Folsom Prison Blues', obviously substitution the prison with the mental institute. 'This Song Remains The Same' was excellent. I am amazed at how well Supernatural has handled time travel so far.

Supernatural S5E14 'My Bloody Valentine'
This one completely took me by surprise. Despite the disgusting opening scene involving a very, erm,
hungry couple, I though this was going to be a comedic episode. And for the first half or so it was. But when it took a darker turn it became one of the best episodes of the season.
Spoiler
T'was very cool seeing Famine do his thing, and how he essentially brought back the scary season four Sam. And since coming back from Hell Dean just continues to look more and more beat with each and every episode.
Oh, Castiel continues to be a scene-stealer :D
I think I'll actually get back to watching Twin peaks now that my internet is back.
Deadwood, such a shame it was cancelled/not finished.
fantastic production values , great cast and overflowing swearing.

:o :o :o :o :o :'( :'( :'( :o :o :o
Supernatural S5E15-16 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid' and 'Dark Side Of The Moon'
The first one was a great Bobby-centric episode, and has me quite excited to finally meet Death when he comes into play. And whoa...'Dark Side Of The Moon' was amazing. So many questions, so many ideas and concepts, and just an all around excellently executed take on some of the show's most important themes.
I might have to watch some Supernatural based on the episode titles alone.
Haha, yep. Lots of awesome movie and song title references.
Loved having him back, even in this, erm, state of being :D
Supernatural S5E17-18 '99 Problems' and 'Point Of No Return'
And here we are with yet another great pair of episodes; season five have been very consistent in quality so far, very rarely straying from what makes episodes such as these so great. If there is one thing that surprised me so much about these last few episodes, it is that Dean is the one in the real dilemma with his choice at the moment. I was thinking that these last few episodes were going to have a bit more of a Sam focus, given the guy that he is supposed to be pairing up with.
And now here I am on the home stretch...can't wait to finish up the season!

And how awesome was that? ;D :laugh:
Spoiler
Gabriel's death scene was sad. Looking back at his first appearance, I never could have imagined that I would have really felt for him in his final moments like that. His, erm, media appearance at the end was great, though :D
As for Chuck being God, I honestly have no clue. I'm leaning towards it being true, though. Either way, it definitely opens up a lot of great stuff to think about. The ambiguity of his last appearance was one of the coolest parts in the entire show.
Funny enough, Gabriel and Chuck have definitely shot up the list to become two of my favorite recurring characters (that aren't Bobby and Castiel), alongside Ellen, Jo, and Ash.
Justice League Season One: "Fury," "Legends," and "A Knight of Shadows"
Fury was a nice little Wonder Woman centered story, and it was cool how it examined Amazon culture and it's possible drawbacks. BTW, am I the only one who doesn't like seeing WW fly? It just looks weird to me.
Legends was a cool tribute to Silver Age comics and a genuinely interesting and ultimately heartbreaking story when you find out what was going on. Green Lantern's emotional moments were quite good.
A Knight of Shadows... Etrigan is awesome, and the Hugh Hefner expy was an epic example of getting crap past the radar. Also, Flash is awesome, too. I really should have mentioned that by now, lol.
Maison Ikkoku - I'm So Sorry Kyoko! I don't deserve to eat your lunch! : Kyoko believes Godai is not eating during his "job search". Instead, Godai is hard at work at a cabaret but the Ikkoku tenants keep him from making money by partying there at his expense. Godai feels guilty when Kyoko gives him a very fancy bento lunch everyday (thinking he is still on the job hunt and working at the preschool, which he just got fired from). Fantastic episode, only about amazing 16 episodes overall remain, now the best are yet to come!
Justice League "Metamorphosis" and "The Savage Time"
Metamorphosis: A neat episode with an interesting dilemma and good character moments for Green Lantern.
The Savage Time: A very cool time travel/alternate history story. Vandal Savage is awesome, and it makes for a good finale to the first season.

'The Constant' was amazing. Definitely one of the best episodes, if not the best episode, so far. From his first appearance Desmond has been one of the show's standout characters, and when he taps into the weirder parts of
Lost's mythology it always yields fantastic results. This was definitely no exception.
Spoiler
Desomond on the phone with Penny was one of the show's best moments yet, and everything that built up to it felt perfect in its execution. There are so many terrible ways that time-travel could have been handled, and Lost managed to successfully avoid all of them.

I completely agree. I admit I'm guilty of the fact that, when I think of
Lost's fantastic cast, they are not usually names that immediately come to mind. But whenever they are given focus in an episode they always absolutely nail the roles. They have some of my favorite flashbacks as well.

Breaking Bad season one. The whole season.
Yup, I definitely get the hype. Consider me hooked.
Banshee Season One
Episodes 1-5
Well shit, they certainly didn't waste time establishing that the main character is a major badass. After a mysterious inmate is released from prison he travels to rural Pennsylvania to collect the rest of his score from a heist gone bad 15 years ago. When he gets there, the soon to be new sheriff, Lucas Hood is killed and the inmate assumes his identity and becomes Banshee's town sheriff. I am having a lot of fun with this one. The story isn't anything new; a Western of sorts. A mysterious drifter comes to a small town and peaks everyone's interest. There's the local thugs, and the big bad who controls the town. Also Ben Cross plays a creepy ass Russian gangster. Look forward to knocking off the last five eps.

They literally could not have ended Season 1 on a more perfect note. Overall, Season 1 feels like the prologue for the series, Walt and Jesse's initiation test into the drug business. Finding their footing, formula, nerves, a name, and a pit to fall deep down into.

They literally could not have ended Season 1 on a more perfect note. Overall, Season 1 feels like the prologue for the series, Walt and Jesse's initiation test into the drug business. Finding their footing, formula, nerves, a name, and a pit to fall deep down into.
Aye, I definitely see what you mean about the prologue feeling. And what an excellent prologue it was. Very much looking forward to falling down into this pit with the characters.
Good as the show is at the start, it only gets better. Seasons 4 and 5 are utter perfection.
And the music never falters. It's the television equivalent of Tarantino when it comes to choosing songs.

Excellent. I guess I definitely picked a good time to get into this one.
Just be extra cautious around anywhere it's possible for you to be spoiled; there's only three episodes left in the series and people are kind of discarding spoiler tags/precautions at this point.
Yeah. It's like me saying that Walt and this guy named Mi- HURK!

Yeah, I'm avoiding everything.
Actually, on that topic, can one of you guys answer this question for me? I'm kind of hesitant about googling it myself out of fear of what I may accidentally stumble upon. Are they going to be doing a separate release for the second half of season five (a la the BSG season 2 and 4 sets), or are they going to put out a set that has both halves of season five once the time comes? Or have they not yet made any announcements? I just need to know if I should buy the current season five set that's out there, or if it'll be useless to have that one when the second half is out.
It is my understanding that they're doing both. Currently, the first half of Season 5 is available on DVD. I think they're going to be releasing both the second half (or 2.5) separately, and an entire Season 5 set.
Not sure if they're going to release a combinaton set just yet; pretty sure they're going to keep them as segmented Acts like BSG did.
Quote from: SpaceMarines on Sep 13, 2013, 11:04:26 PM
and an entire Season 5 set.
That's the first I've heard of it, though it would make sense to do it that way. I'm just going to end up getting the Complete Series set anyways.
I have no source for that; I'm just damned sure I remember hearing that somewhere.

Sweet, sweet nostalgia. Sure there are a few things that don't hold up so well, but lets face it. Cool is cool.
Also, dat sweet 80s music and nonsensical Japanese/English music will always tug at the heart strings.
Watched part of the X-Files marathon on ShadowPred's livestream the other night with some of the usual suspects - Shadow, Veps, Black and Cvalda. As usual when I join these things, a pre-planned 10 minute visit just to say hi before bedtime, turns into a 90 minute visit lol... :D

Argh... remind me -

was it when he and Jack part ways on Penny's boat? I like how this time, Jack says Desmond's 'See you in another life brother.' catchphrase and Desmond says 'ay'... :D
Spoiler
Gah, I actually meant one scene back, when he is reunited with Penny :D
Ah of course, there's that too. :D
Spoiler
- look forward to some Season 6 episodes - Desmond plays a pivotal role in some of those as well and gee if I don't shed tears every time I've watch them...
Excellent. Very much looking forward to it :)
Breaking Bad, Ozymandias.
And the transformation is complete.
Banshee Season One
Episodes 5-10
And with that, Season One comes to a generally satisfying ending. I came to really like the characters such as Sugar and Proctor. The scenes with Hood in prison were also good. There were a few directions they went but never really followed up on. Hopefully the writing is a little more tight with the second season. And Ben Cross' Mr. Rabbit turned out to be a bigger and more disturbing threat than Proctor. The uneasy relationship between Hood & Proctor was interesting to watch. The part where they beat the shit out of each other before taking down Rabbit's thugs was awesome.
Frasier Season 5.
I unabashedly love this show, and haven't since seen a better sitcom.
Arrow Season One
Pilot
Honor Thy Father
Lone Gunmen
Okay so Oliver Queen may not be Bruce Wayne but he's just as badass. I like the serious approach they're taking with this. The flashbacks to when Queen was on the island that are spread out in each episode is also very cool. The show is like an origin story within an origin story. The island and the present day. Deadshot was cool, but criminally underused. Hopefully he'll return.

Almost, we got two episodes left ;D What a damn fine episode tho!
Maison Ikkoku - Asuna spends the night at Mitaka's pad. Her dog, Salad, is greeted by Mitaka's dog McEnroe. Mitaka, nearly passed from drinking so much against Godai, remembers almost nothing about the night and is SHOCKED to hear news that Asuna may be pregnant! Mitaka finds her on her private beach house and pretty much is told something did happen that night... What a great episode, the final ten are going to be even better as the end nears.

I'd say the end of Season 4 was when that was complete, and then the first half of S5 was him riding the top.
Spoiler
Season 5's Act 2 is basically him falling further out of the Heisenberg role, being reluctant about killing people, losing his wits, and ultimately crumbling. The scenes with him and Skylar were basically hysteria and, in taking Holly, a moment of insanity, which he drifted from in the bathroom "mama" scene. When he was talking like a monster to Skylar on the phone, he was basically putting on a Heisenberg caricature for her own good, so that the police (which he obviously knew were listening) would think she was merely a victim in the whole scenario rather than a collaborator. That's the reason he started crying while berating her, that was the last thing he was going to say to her for what could be forever, and it was just a load of horrible shit; she knew what he was doing too, you could see it on her face.
Watching the last Homeland S1 episode in tv right now from their S1 marathon today. The whole of S2 next Sunday in preparation for the S3 premiere in October. Great stuff...
Also just started with the Stephen King mini series Under The Dome, to sort of erase from my mind how awful I thought the Haven episode I watched was...

... I'll bet the producers made sure the 1st episode 'leaked', to create some hype about the show with all the Emmy nominations being handed out tonight...
I ended up not watching it, because I knew I'd want more just as soon as it premiered, week-by-week. Such is anticipatory impatience. :laugh:
I think I'll do the same thing as you, Eva; a marathon sounds good right now.
Doing self torture by catching up with the last two episodes of Dexter, and I could not be more pissed off at this stupid season. The worst damn thing I have ever seen on television is Dexter's Season 8, or whatever damn season they're on right now. f**king lame ass f**king garbage.

Hannibal Season One
Episodes 1-6
Seeing as Dexter came to a disappointing end, it was time I needed a suitable replacement into the land of the macabre and the bizarre. I think after six episodes, Hannibal fits that bill quite nicely. Much like Dexter its part police procedural drama and other part character study. Hugh Dancy plays special agent Will Graham and he's fantastic. Make no mistake, William Petersen and Edward Norton did a fine job with the character but Dancy really flew off the handle and made this character his own. Dancy is just amazing to watch as the overly worked and mentally deflated character who's on the brink of losing his own sanity. The way he gets into the killer's heads and visualizes the crime was something unique that I really haven't seen before.
"This is my design."
The other star of the show of course is Hannibal Lecter played by Mads Mikkelsen. Now he's not as memorable as say Anthony Hopkins but Mads brings his own spin to the character. He commands each scene he's in with his impeccable dress and you're never quite sure what is going on behind those eyes of his. Whether his intentions are pure or not, and I like that.
"They know."
When I first heard this was going to be on NBC, I thought it was going to be watered down crap. Much to my surprise it's not. Hannibal is exceedingly graphic and hardly tame. Six episodes in, I am in love with this show. I am happy it's going to be renewed for a second season, and if everything goes according to plan the show runner Bryan Fuller can unleash his master plan by weaving in the stories of Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal into the show's future seasons.
Delicious.
...and more Eddie Izzard please.

Yup.
Hannibal's first season was incredible, on par with the original Clyde Phillips seasons of Dexter, but with an even darker, macabre tone. It's one of those shows that is absolutely overflowing with bleakness, but it can't be faulted just due to how well done it is; I was left slack-jawed multiple times... and who the hell expected it to be good, never mind amazing? Great show, can't wait for Season 2.
My biggest complaint is the killer of the week stuff. Often comically over the top and silly.
Everything else more than made up for it, though.
Definitely gonna have to check that out in the near future.
I just want to see Silence of the Lambs first (I know, I know...) to familiarize myself with the character a bit.
:o
There's actually more Red Dragon in Hannibal (the show), including having the lead character, Will Graham in it, so seeing the movie or reading the book would be a really good initiation. That said, both Will Graham, Hannibal Lecter, and every other element is almost completely different and new from previous incarnations of the universe.
Will look into that one as well, thanks for the heads up.
I know they're not related, but for some reason I just don't want to jump into the show without seeing at least some of the original film material beforehand.
South Park
Apparently Butters goes to Hawaii because of his anger issue. And the Hawaii Natives were people they moved to the island and stayed 6 to 9 months there while using 'points' to separate themselves from the tourists. :laugh:
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I'm not completely sold yet, but I'll stick around and see how it develops.
Last night's season premier of South Park. Cartman thinks the NSA is spying on everyone all the time. He gets a job at the NSA to become a whistleblower on the situation and finds out how the NSA is spying on everyone... Butters gets the bug from Cartman and goes to the DMV to "confess his wrongdoings" and creates a cult that does the same. Great way to begin the season!

Lol, same.
Boardwalk Empire S4E03 "Acres of Diamonds"
Finally completely caught up on the show, and I must say, so far... season 4 ain't workin' too well for me. So far, it's just felt really unfocused, just a series of events happening to different characters, with no overall story driving it all. Now, that's not to say it's bad. There are many elements that I'm loving; Dr. Narcisse is both intriguing and intimidating, played to perfection by Jeffrey Wright, Eddie's stuff in episode 2 was great, and it goes without saying that everything with Harrow is outstanding. I'm hoping things start coming together soon, though. Compared to the past three season (especially season 3), its just not up to snuff.
South Park
The boys fake Butters' death so they can get a Cootie-Catcher from the girls. Butters' father goes all Pet Cemetery on a dead carcass of a pig used to fake Butters' death.
Hannibal Season One
Episodes 7-13
Well that's it for Season One. Loved every minute of it. Also you gotta love the finale moments of the last episode. A role reversal that's a nice homage to Red Dragon or even Silence of the Lambs.
Probably like alot of people in the UK ive just watched the first episode of Agents Of SHIELD (it premiered tonight on CH4).
I actually really enjoyed it. It was much better than the trailers and clips had led me to believe and didnt look as cheap as I thought it did. Didn't expect anything from the films other than references here and there so I was surprised to see Extremis from IM3 make an appearance.
What the hell was that Back To The Future ending all about though?
Quote from: Keg on Sep 27, 2013, 07:59:03 PMWhat the hell was that Back To The Future ending all about though?
SHIELD have been using flying cars in the comics for a long time. Also, it was probably a throwback to the car Howard Stark was working on in
Captain America.
Just seemed to come out of nowhere. Anyway it served its purpose. It made Coulson even COOLER!
It totally did. Coulson stole the show with that ridiculously awesome ending.
My favorite Coulson moment was his entrance. "That corner was very dark and I couldn't help myself." :laugh:
Lost S5E04-07 'The Little Prince', 'This Place Is Death', '316', 'The Life And Death Of Jeremy Bentham'
Dear God, this show is fantastic. Season five is so strange and there are so many terrible ways that the insane content of this season could have been handled that is absolutely astonishing at how good a grasp the writers have on the weirder parts of the show's mythology. I love this show more than I can describe right now.
Hannibal S1E01-05 "Apertif", "Amuse-Bouche", "Potage", "Ceuf", and "Coquilles"
It's been great revisiting the show after watching it when it aired. It lends a whole new appreciation for how well constructed it is. The slightest detail can come into play later on. Also, it was nice to finally see "Ceuf" in its entirety. Damn was it grim, especially the Christmas scene. That one moment is up there with both the Angel Maker and the Mushroom Garden episodes in terms of how disturbing it was.
And then there's this:

wow.
Hannibal S1E06-09 "Entree", "Sorbet", "Fromage", and "Trou Normand"
The show gets even better as it goes along, with "Sorbet" easily being one oft he best episodes. Hannibal's dinner part preparation was pretty damn spectacular. The producer's cut of "Entree" was also quite good, with some extra nastiness added back in, for good measure. "Trou Normand" had some great reveals regarding the overall arc, and a particularly memorable guest star.

Honestly can't remember how much he's on screen in the S5 episodes... He (along with Titus Welliver) has some very nice and memorable moments in S6 - Richard Alpert's past is also finally explored in
Ab Aeterno. Great and very emotional stuff.
The next episode for you must be
LaFleur, right? That's a brilliant episode. Sawyer gets some moments to shine here. :)
Hannibal S1E10-13 "Buffet Froid", "Roti", "Releves", and "Savoureaux"
Well, that was intense. Between the rather scary killer in "Buffet Froid," the, ahem, brutal return of Dr. Gideon in "Roti," and the just plain f**ked yet kind of awesome ending, that was one damn fine final stretch for the season. The final scene is basically perfect, and does exactly what it needs to get me excited for Season 2.

Yup, 'LaFleur' is up next. More Sawyer is always a great thing. He had one of the funniest moments this season so far.

When they're in one of the canoes they found and are being chased in the water with darts flying at them, when he shouts up into the sky begging for help. Then they travel through time, and it is pouring rain. "I take that back!" :D
Very interested in seeing more Richard. Quite the interesting character so far, given his, erm, condition.

He looks quite good for his age, whatever it may be ;) I heard that his story ties into the Black Rock, which is cool.

"Shut up, Bitch"
:laugh:
Today I watched two of the very best and worst science documentaries I've ever seen.
For the former, Origins Of Us, presented by Alice Roberts in a three-part series. It details the evolution of hominins, and the various developments that led to Homo Sapiens, both environmental and as a linear progression - and why it all happened. It's massively watchable, no matter where you're coming from - it's not dumbed down, yet it's perfectly accessible and communicates its points clearly. It's well paced, without a wasted moment, and I learned a lot from it. Can't recommend it strongly enough.
And as for the worst, Resurrection Science, which addresses the various attempts being made to bring back extinct animals (specifically, dinosaurs, mammoths and Neanderthals). It plods along at sophorific pace, never going into enough detail on the processes or focusing on exciting elements. It stretches 10 minutes of material into 30. It makes stupidly obvious statements which insult your intelligence. It occasionally veers off on pointless tangents, failing to connect them to the central story. It doesn't provide counterpoints or a dialogue among the researchers. It doesn't address any of the CONSIDERABLE ethical ramifications of these avenues of research. It is, basically, a complete waste of time. I turned it off before the last segment, for the dual reasoning of being fundamentally opposed to Neanderthal cloning, and realising I'd wasted half an hour of my life.
Breaking Bad - Felina (series finale)

Well, Bryan Fuller described Season 1 as the "bromance," and Season 2 as the "ugly breakup." :laugh: There's also some things that I've read will be happening next season:
Spoiler
-Jack Crawford is coming under investigation for the events of Season 1.
-There were will be a "romantic interest" for Hannibal. Should be fun given his definition of friendship.
-Dr. du Maurier and her history with Hannibal will be delved into.
-Dr. Gideon is still alive and should be returning.
-Fuller has hinted that Lance Henriksen's character will be coming back and acting as a "father figure" for Will.
-Hannibal's Uncle Robert, Barney, Mason Verger, and Margot Verger will all be appearing in some capacity.
I'm guessing Hannibal will be locked by the end of Season 2.
Sounds great! I like the sound of Gideon returning. Such a disturbingly fun character.

That leaves Season 3 as the big question mark here.
They'll think of something.
I could dig the idea of a season consisting of Hannibal chillin' in his cell and giving Chilton shit. "I never knew you had the guts, Frederick." 8)
:laugh:
Would be awesome if Brian Cox had a cameo or a guest starring role.
Well, if they actually get David Bowie for Hannibal's uncle, then they can get anyone, I guess.

When the first announced they were doing a 4th season I was like these fools have jumped the shark, but watching the first ep, it's actually hilarious, almost a complete tonal change making Kenny all domesticated and shit, with glimpses of his dark passenger love it, and adding Tim Hiedecker to the cast is pure brilliance, can't wait to see more him and McBride together.

Arrow Season 2 Episode 1
Motherf**king christ, this show has no f**king way of slowing down. Barely the first episode of the season, and already it feels like it's halfway finished. This show is just so amazingly good, that there is no f**king competition whatsoever. The only thing that will come close is American Horror story. So for all the haters of Agents of SHIELD, if you want a show based on a superhero property, then I recommend watching this instead.
hell to the muddafakkin yes,Arrow s2 came in strong.
WTF is Shield? thats what you would say.

Already sounds fifty times better than SHIELD.

If there ever was an actual debate between SHIELD and Arrow, then Arrow had SHIELD beat before the show even came into production. Season 1 is up on Netflix right now. If you don't have Netflix, then I'll be sure to set up a date to stream Season 1 sometime soon.
This goes to anyone that wants to watch the show.

I like what I've seen, but it's not one of my favorite shows or anything.
Homeland - Season 3
Uh... Oh... Ah...
Tower of David
I'm not really sure what to think of Season 3 so far. It's good, but not as good as I had hoped. :-\
The Addams Family (animated series from 1992) - Been on Boomerang on weekdays, been a great nostalgic watch!
Attack on Titan
{ Episode 1 - "To You, in 2000 Years" }
Right in the god damn feels.
What the f**k did I tell you.
f**k.
The whole scene with Eren and Mikasa having to leave their mother, so much "NOOO WHYYYY, NOOOOOOOOOOO"
I can see the tumblr gifs already.
Gawd, it's intense as f**k.
Arrow season 2 episode 2
How in the f**k does this show do a movie quality night in just under an hour? Once again Arrow ends up kicking so much ass that it's insane. We're barely into the second episode of this season, and it feels like it's already knee deep in drama, plot, and everything else. Holy f**k is this how every comic book TV show should be. Take note everyone, THIS is how it's done.
Attack on Titan
{ Episode 4 - "Night of the Detachment Ceremony/Humanity's Comeback, Part 2" }
f**k.
I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT.

Gonna give this a try. Merchant is hilarious.
As for
Homeland S3, I'm intrigued that they're not repeating themselves with the storyline, but I have little idea where the show is going right now. There doesn't seem to be a focus on a main baddie in these first episodes, it's more about the lead characters.
Also watching the 2nd season of Danish/Swedish crime series
The Bridge, but however much I like the characters in the show, I think the plot they've established, is pretty far out there.

It was a fine episode, but that's not why I'm freaking the f**k out. There was a name...that was mentioned...and...omfg...I cannot believe DC, WB, or whoever the f**k is in charge gave the Arrow team that much freedom. When Stephen Amell mentioned that they gave them the keys to the DC universe, I thought he meant just maybe some villains that hardcore fans would know, with the occasional "Green Arrow villain."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I was so f**king wrong!
Breaking Bad Season 3
Anyone else think Homeland just keeps getting better?
Also, The Newsroom's greatly improved this year in my opinion.
I watched a rerun of Agatha Christie's Poirot.

"Grey Dawn" - The seniors get their drivers licenses revoked, and call the AARP. And end up going Red Dawn on the town.

The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror V
The Shinning - My favorite parody of The Shining. Homer goes crazy when Mr. Burns takes away the beer supply and cable TV from the lodge. I never get tired of watching this one 10/10
Time And Punishment - Homer gets his hand stuck in a toaster and then has to fix it, creating a time machine when he is done. After numerous attempts to go back to his right setting, he gets close enough. 8/10
Nightmare Cafeteria - Principal Skinner has a problem with detention being overcrowded. After Jimbo trips Lunchlady Doris and spills sauce over him, Skinner finds a solution to the detention and cafeteria problems. Without a doubt my favorite Halloween based one ever! 11/10
Doctor Who S01E08 "Father's Day"
One of the best 45 minutes the show has to offer. The very start is kinda weak, but the quality skyrockets very fast. The sentiments and the themes at the heart of the episode never cease to bring a tear to my eye, and the ending is elegant and beautiful. Pete Tyler is one of the best characters in the show's history, and Shaun Dingwall plays him to perfection.
Felt really good to watch this again.

Arrow Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot"
Holy f**k. Green Arrow just had a fight with Kano from MK: Legacy.
Arrow S01 E02 "Honor Thy Father"
Pretty awesome as well. Amell needs to work on his badass voice a bit, though. Oh, and it's nice to see that Green Arrow now has Lara Croft's origin. :laugh:
The Legend of Korra Book 2: Spirits; Chapters 4-6: "Civil Wars, Part 2", "Peacekeepers", "The Sting"
I'm really liking this season. Stuff is going in a very intriguing direction, and I'm liking the worldbuilding that's been going on. Though the ending of "The Sting" left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
Spoiler
Amnesia? Really? They pulled that one... *sigh*
Well, I'll wait to see how its handled before I pass judgement. If it's something to do with part of Korra's mind being trapped in the Spirit World, I'm down with that.
Arrow S01 E03 "Lone Gunmen"
Okay, that was awesome. How could it not be with Deadshot as part of the proceedings. Also, you know a show is awesome when Colin Salmon is part of the recurring cast. And about what I said about the origin story, I now have no clue dafuq happened on that island. It definitely has me guessing now. Only one problem with the episode:
Spoiler
They seriously just killed off Deadshot? Dafuq?
Overall, though, the show is so good that I have no idea why Berlanti f**ked up so bad with the GL movie.

I think Moira has found herself a comfortable spot on the "worst mothers ever list." Oh, and Colin Salmon's days are numbered. I can already tell, lol. Still he's lasted longer than he does in Paul W.S. Anderson movies.
As I went through Season One, I've often thought Paul Blackthorne would make a good Judge in a Dredd film. He's got a constant scowl on his face throughout the entire season. And the right attitude as well. :laugh:

They do an interesting spin on the character Firefly in episode 10. Curious to hear what you think about it, when you reach that point.
Arrow S01 E07 "Mistress of Fire"
Very good episode. Not a bad way to introduce the Starling City mafia. Huntress is pretty cool, interested in where thy're going to take her. Oh, and I just realized that was Kelly Hu in a platinum blond wig as the triad woman.

Smallville where every single villain had been used before Clark became Superman. :P
Arrow S01 E08 "Vendetta"
Damn good continuation of the story from last episode. The shootout at the end was good. Like, the Kramer house shootout from
Heavy Rain good. It's also cool to see that we're getting more info about the list.
Arrow S01 E09 "Year's End"
Yet another very good episode. The Dark Archer was a neat concept, even if the reveal about him was a little underwhelming. Still, it sets up an interesting direction for the series to take.
UNF, Arrow is gonna get better and better. Episode 10 should be Firefly...I personally disliked the episode, felt like a terrible filler.
If you feel the same after watching it, I can promise you that you won't experience anything as bad as that episode again.

This is true. I was laughing throughout most of that episode because of how bad it is, and pretty much didn't want to continue watching the show, but Shadow reassured me... and it really ends up working in the following episodes (minus every TERRIBLE thing between Tommy and Laurel).
When we get to Season 2, Sweeps...oh lord, shit is gonna get craze. Amell wasn't f**king kidding when he said that they actually have a plan right from the beginning for Season 2...you can f**king see how everything just works together, HNNNG!
Arrow S01 E10 "Burned"
I didn't think it was that bad. The take on Firefly was actually pretty good, IMO. Granted, I am a bit tired of having to hear about Tommy's problems and relationship foibles.
Well, there's only more to come.
Only one more episode of Breaking Bad left.
Holy shit, you tore through season 5 :o
American Horror Story. One of my friends brought the first season over and made me watch the first few episodes. Its good but I still don't see the cause for rabid.

So what did you think of the series overall (and the finale)?
I'm too depressed to talk about it.
Interestingly, I thnk the ending has a different emotional effect on people that were able to gun through and view it like a marathon as opposed to those who watched it week by week. Oddly it seems to leave more of a void for marathoners where as for the week by week watchers, it has a major feeling of simply being content and even a bit joyful with the fact that it ended so perfectly. But really, the overlap is knowing that it ended perfectly.

Arrow S01 E12 "Vertigo"
Very fun episode, but I enjoyed the flashbacks to the island more than the actual plot. It may not have been the case if the bad guy wasn't a cockney metrosexual. But that ending.. damn, that was some cold shit, Ollie. And speaking of the island, I'm back to not knowing what the hell is going on there. I thought I knew, but the last two episodes have thrown that out of whack.
Ah yes, The Count. :D
Arrow S01 E13 "Betrayal"
Goooooddddddd. The villains weren't bad for typical baddie-the-week types. They'd fit in nicely in the old Hulk TV show. :laugh: Jokes aside, the stakes were properly high, and the personal drama was all relevant to the themes of the episode. The ending was pretty badass, too, but the Netflix description of the next episode sounds like it doesn't quite live up to that.
Spoiler
Aw yeah, Slade Wilson. The next few flashbacks are gonna be good, I think. Never would've pegged Deathstroke for an Aussie, lol. Also, I think I have the overarching plot figured out.
Spoiler
Tommy's Dad, who's also the Dark Archer, has some scheme in mind to get back at the city for the death of his wife. Am I close?
Arrow S01 E14 "The Odyssey"
I went in expecting a filler episode, and it turned out to be one of the best so far. The whole thing was just so incredibly badass, from start to finish. It's like we're finally getting to see more of Ollie's transition from rich douche to hardcore survivalist badass. I should also say what I've been meaning to for a while now, namely that Felicity Smoak is awesome. 8)
Spoiler
Deathstroke v. Deathstroke was awesome, as was the whole of Slade's attack on the camp. Also, I think I have this figured out. The Island = Deadly Prey + Tomb Raider (2013).
Right on the money in regards to that first spoiler tag.
The Blacklist
Just can't get into the characters of this show. Spader's character is just waaay to cartoonish and 1-dimensional to me and rest are essentially window dressing and people for Spader to react with or against. It's a bit like that Jennifer Garner secret agent series some years ago, just more... silly.
Homeland
I'm liking it more now that some story twists have been fully revealed and the overall plot gains momentum. after a couple of episodes, I started getting nervous where all these different side stories were headed and why I should care as a viewer, but then a certain episode beautifully connected the threads into a single main narrative. One side story doesn't interest me however - the Brody family shenanigans. They could cut that entirely for all I care.
Somehow I hope that Nicholas Brody won't play a vital part in this season and what we saw of him on the episode dedicated to his current whereabouts, is pretty much all we the in season 3. This show doesn't need to revolve around him and Carrie.
Arrow S01 E15 "Dodger"
Much better than I expected from the episode description. The Dodger, lazy Dickens reference aside, wasn't too bad. he was actually pretty fun and kind of cool in places, but the character development for Ollie definitely overshadowed him. It was cool seeing Ollie pull off some more detective work, and Moira's plot is getting pretty interesting. The island flashbacks were good, but could have been darker.
Arrow S01 E16 "Dead to Rights"
Another outstanding episode. It was great seeing Deadshot again, and it was cool seeing Kelly Hu actually get something to do for once. Also, I'm really impressed with how they've handled Tommy. At first, I wrote him off as "that
Entourage-y douche," but now I genuinely like the guy.
Spoiler
I'm not sure how I feel about Tommy learning about Ollie's secret, but I'll wait to see how it plays out.
Arrow S01 E17 "The Huntress Returns"
This one wasn't bad, but I felt it could have been better. The setup with Huntress felt
a little forced, but I liked what they ultimately did with the character. Besides, that outfit she had on at the beginning was hawt. Oh, and Manu Bennett was awesome in the flashback scenes, but that's just to be expected. Also, the club is finally open... and it looks kind of lame, to be honest.
I haven't seen James Callis since BSG came to an end. So when he showed up in the Dodger episode and played a suave ass jewel thief, I was more than happy.
And I also agree about Tommy. Didn't really like him at the start of the season, but the character grew as it progressed. Just wait until the end man...

ANother very good episode. The villain of the week was pretty strong, and the reveal at the end was a good one. Also, Lau from TDK needs to get better at calculation.
Supernatural S6E01-03 'Exile On Main St.', 'Two And A Half Men', and 'The Third Man'
Feels good jumping back into this show, but I also think I really needed that break after the epic fifth season. So far I'm finding this season to be quite interesting. I already know what's up with Sam, but it is cool seeing those pieces move into place. I also really like the hints we got in the third episode about Castiel's situation.

Arrow S01 E19 "Unfinished Business"
Another good episode, with solid character development and action.
Arrow S01 E20 "Home Invasion"
Eh, this one was kind of a mixed. There were too many plot threads going on at once to really work as a whole.

Yeah, he was pretty cool in his first appearance. I look forward to seeing more of him.
From what I've heard season six has a lot of interesting ideas and stories and then, by the end, it doesn't really know what to do with them.
Supernatural S6E04-07 'Weekend At Bobby's', 'Live Free Or TwiHard', 'You Can't Handle The Truth', and 'Family Matters'
I'm actually liking season six a lot so far. Maybe things change as it goes on, but I haven't really noticed a drop in quality just yet. If anything, I just wish that Castiel's civil war storyline would come a bit more into the forefront, but there's still a long ways to go in the season. I'm loving the more personal story between Sam and Dean (and Samuel), and I thought the revelations of the last episode were handled really well. The whole alpha thing is a pretty interesting concept as well.
As standalone episodes, I loved getting a better look at Bobby's life in 'Weekend At Bobby's', and the parts parodying
Twilight and modern vampire representations in 'Live Free Or TwiHard' were hilarious :D
S6E08-11 'All Dogs Go To Heaven', 'Clap Your Hands If You Believe', 'Caged Heat', and 'Appointment In Samarra'
That last episode was bleak as hell :'( Fantastic ending, though. I really loved the
Raiders of the Lost Ark reference and the pizza man jokes in 'Caged Heat' :D

Anything to bring him back into the show would be very OK in my book! :D
Seems like most archangels have a following in heaven. I can't help but think that Balthazar must have been one of Gabriels.
Haven't seen very much of him yet, but yeah, I can kind of see that. Gabriel definitely has Balthazar beat right now, though :P
Speaking of archangels
Spoiler
do they ever show Michael again? I know Lucifer comes back in season seven in the form of visions or something.
Nope, no Michael. :(
Huh, makes you wonder... I guess what little I know about seasons eight's finale and angels either doesn't affect archangels or

I suppose not.
Spoiler
The angels fell from Heaven, but Lucifer and Michael were not in Heaven, so...
Very true. Can't wait to get to season 8, so I can see what events lead up to that.
I'm liking 6 a lot more than I thought I would so far, but I haven't really heard much of anything good about 7 and the Leviathans from anyone on or off the internet.
Season 6 was just okay in my opinion, but Season 7, yeah, that was pretty bad. :-\
Season 7, you'll see the rise of Dick.
I hear he has a pretty powerful bite.

Sucks that the Leviathans seem to be so universally disliked. The concept of a group of beings created before angels and humans seems like it would be really interesting.
Yeah, it's a great concept. It just comes off rather poorly. :-\
Arrow S01 E21 "The Undertaking"
Wow. That was really, really good. I especially liked the pre-island flashbacks and Malcolm's character development.
Arrow S01 E22 "Darkness on the Edge of Town"
That. Was. Awesome. The use of Radioactive was a little awkward, but everything else was great.

So I guess I'll be watching the new episodes of Arrow over at the CW web site pretty soon.
There's a new ep on tonight. He goes to Russia for something. Haven't started season two yet. I was looking to see if the CW had them on-demand. They don't. Ah well. Probably just gonna watch the first few eps off the web site and this one tonight on tv and watch it weekly from here on out.
Guys...if you need me to stream, Friday is a good enough day as any.

Season 2 is... it's almost funny how much better than Season 1 it is, in every concievable way.
The fact that I can attribute so much of it to having no Tommy and not even be joking is amazing.
Bottom line: If you even remotely like Season 1 (which obviously one has to do to make it through all those episodes), you're gonna
love this shit.
I actually liked Tommy. He was one of the best developed characters on the show.
:-X
I thought he was terrible, the vessel for gag-inducing whinyboy/"ermahgerd you guys gonna break up"/endless relationship "drama" CW is know for. He even had his whinyboy face that he would put on every time something upset him.
I prayed every episode for him to die. Except when he called Oliver out on what he does, that's what the character should have been there to do from the start, if you ask me. On the side with Laurel, she just shouldn't have forgiven Ollie, period. They could have made it less overt, but talk about a weakly represented female character... oh well, Season 2 makes all of this better.
South Park - Black Friday - The town mall gets ready for Black Friday (ala The Walking Dead style) with Stan's dad as a new mall security officer. The youth of South Park prepares for the X-Box1 by "training" to be the first 30 to get 80% off anything in the mall. Then some of the boys decide to split up because some want a PS4 instead of Xbox1. The part with the Star Trek nerds is hilarious
Spoiler
"OMG, these guys are SO GAY" - Cartman
Same with the new Elmo doll

"Stop Touching Me Elmo"
You know what, here is the episode:
http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s17e07-black-friday (http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s17e07-black-friday)
Supernatural S6E12-15 'Like A Virgin', 'Unforgiven', 'Mannequin 3: The Reckoning', and 'The French Mistake'
'The French Mistake' has to be one of the show's best episodes so far :D :D :D
Really glad that we have the old Sam (mostly) back, and so far the Mother of All storyline that was being set up in 'Like a Virgin' seems pretty interesting (despite the fact that every single monster has to look like a person). Also looking forward to seeing how the whole Heaven situation goes, though I do admit that right now Sam and Dean's story and Castiel's story seem a bit at contrast with one another tonally. Maybe by the end of the season it will all intertwine.
I've been watching White Collar. It's a decent way to pass the time and Matt Bomer is good eye candy. :P
I'm loving the new season of The Mentalist. Each episode has been a mytharc episode this season and in 2 episodes it will be wrapped up, taking the show to different territory. It won't be the same but they also can't afford to drag it out longer.
Arrow S02 E01 "City of Heroes"
Good season premiere. Some of the set up was a bit rushed/forced, but overall it was very good.
Arrow S02 E02 "Identity"
Another solid episode. "It could be worse. My secret identity is his black driver." :laugh:
Arrow S02 E03 "Broken Dolls"
Great, great episode. The serial killer plot is quite well done, and something I'd like to see in a Batman show. Also, I loved the buddy cop dynamic Ollie and Lance have going on. "I don't always agree with your methods, but I can't argue with your results" is one of the goofiest cop cliches ever, but it worked here. Oh, and Slade Wilson is still awesome in the island flashbacks. "I think I was wrong abut you kid. You're definitely an idiot." :laugh:
Spoiler
The League of Assassins guy who showed up at the end... he was wearing the same outfit that Merlyn wore as the Dark Archer, and he name dropped Ra's al-Ghul. That was awesome. I think I'm beginning to tie some of the pieces together.
Spoiler
Do you think Malcolm was trained by The League? He had Ra's same ideology from Batman Begins as well. Destroy the city in order to save it.

That makes sense to me. He was trained by someone for two years, and the League is as god a candidate as any. The uniform just clinches it.
Arrow S02 E04 "Crucible"
Another very good episode. The Mayor made for a fun bad guy, acting like he came out of a Spike Lee movie. And that reveal at the end... :o
Almost Human - Pilot
Currently watching this on Fox and there's a lot to like about it so far. Karl Urban plays John Kennex, a cop in the future whose partner is an android. I really like the set pieces and the design of the city itself. Urban is badass as usual and gives off those Dredd scowls from time to time. This has a lot of promise. Just hope Fox doesn't drive it into the ground like Terra Nova.

You are completely correct.
A part of Ra's Al Ghul's history takes place in Nanda Parbat. Malcolm mentioned this city when he was in the hospital as he spoke to Tommy. Malcolm said he met a man there that helped him. Malcolm is also a part of the Seven Men of Death, all who work for Ra's Al Ghul.
CW will obviously use bits and pieces so that it may fit with their universe.
Oh Christ, the mytharc this show is building is f**king amazing. Even without Batman it's coming together perfectly. Can wait to see more.
Spoiler
It's just a matter of time before Ra's Al Ghul shows up himself. Do you think they'll introduce the character at some point?

If anything, I think they may be toying with the idea that they will show the character. As of right now, I really don't think we'll see him any time soon, probably will stay as a villain hidden in the shadows in the mean time.
Short answer (lol): Yes, they'll have him appear. Stephen Amell didn't speak at a recent panel some months to say "they have given us the keys to the DC universe." for nothing.

Ive heard mixed reviews on Almost Human,
I've given revolution the ass this year so i need something new to watch.
Arrow S02 E05 "League of Assassins"
That was great. It does a great job of setting up what's to come (presumably) in this season. It figures that the League shows up, and they steal a line from
Batman Begins. :laugh: Officer Lance is just better and better with each episode, and this version of Black Canary is hawt.
Arrow S02 E06 "Keep Your Enemies Closer"
That was fun. Even though I'm tired as f**k of the Diggle/Deadshot subplot, it was handled very well here. The shift of setting was pretty refreshing, and pretty cool, too. I love Ollie's Russian mobster friend. Put that guy in a GTA movie, please. The gulag stuff reminded me more than a little of
Star Trek VI, with the exception of the unintentional kick in the nuts. Now, theory time:
Spoiler
We know the League of Assassins is around, and the assassin last episode mentioned "the child of Ra's al-Ghul." At the same time, we have a new woman in town who has a history of taking over/gutting corporations, has an unusual childhood, and is multilingual. I'm calling it, Summer Glau is Talia in disguise.

It would certainly be a much better take on her character than what she is in the comics. So if they go in the direction you're thinking that they might go in, then I'm all for that.

Arrow S02 E07 "State v. Queen"
Yet another really good episode. The Count was awesome, and the court room scenes were very good as well. Laurel actually felt relevant for the first time this season. :laugh:
Spoiler
That ending was pretty cool. I'm guessing that Malcolm's body was snatched by the League and dumped in a Lazarus Pit. Either way, at least we get to see more of melted Tom Cruise. :laugh: I am bit concerned that with both Merlin, Brother Blood, and the League that their may be too many big bads this season. Still, this should be epic.
Next episode is the debut of Barry Allen. Should be interesting.
I was so excited because...
Spoiler
I actually called the resurrection of Merlyn as soon as I pieced it together that he was associated with the League of Shadows/Assassins. He seemed like too strong a villain to have simply died like that; hopefully they don't aim to bring his son back as well though... god knows that's the opposite of what the show needs. I'll be honest, I was pretty meh on the episode right until the ending (though some of the Count stuff was cool, he was like an OTT villain from an 80's Stallone or Arnie flick), as the conveniences were so incredibly contrived and all over the place, but I was actually flipping shit after the two reveals... Thea turning out to be Merlyn's daughter works surprisingly well, even if you could tell it wasn't intended from the start.

Almost Human - Episode 2
Judge Dredd Karl Urban and his partner are out to stop a gang of Albanians from harvesting human skin for sexbots. This was pretty decent ep I thought. Some of the gadgets used in this episode were really f**king cool, such as the shit those guys sprayed on their faces so the cameras couldn't I.D. them.
Just watched the first two episodes of Community with a bunch of friends. This show is hilarious :D
Aint seen nuffin yet.
Definitely going to have to get into that show. The characters and the banter were right down my alley :D
If it's your kind of thing, it's straight up gold for three seasons, then the showrunner (Dan Harmon) got fired for season 4, and that one is all ">_>", because nobody is really feeling it, including the crew because it starts to feel like Community attempting Community, but Dan Harmon is coming back for Season 5 to hopefully get things on track again so yaaaaaaay!
It's honestly one of my favorite comedies on TV, so I am excite for what is likely to be a strong return, even with no Chevy and limited Donald Glover.
Ehn, I didn't mind season 4. It wasn't the same but it was absolute shite like people say it is.

It wasn't, the writers certainly weren't incompetent, and the actors weren't intentionally unenthusiastic, but it entirely lacked Harmon's spontaneity, charm, or even originality. It was mostly riffing on old material, something Season 3 prior had directly subverted. I just found myself cringing a lot of the time at how much it was trying and failing, so many of the jokes just fell flat for me.

Just bought the Dark Angel season 1 boxed set, and am currently three episodes in.
In case you don't know, it's a James Cameron-created series starring 19-year-old Jessica Alba, from 2000. It's science fiction, set in a moderately dystopian 2019; she's an escaped military experiment of genetic manipulation and Spartan-like conditioning.
It bears a lot of Cameron hallmarks. Highly visionary, well-made and emotive, but prone to two-dimensional characters and some illogical interactions.
One of the most remarkable things about it now, is how prescient it was. It predicted massive recession, a society-altering terrorist attack, surveillance drones, a second war in Iraq, and hackers attempting to play moral watchdog on the government and big business. Obviously most of these elements are presented in exaggerated form, but I do wonder if psychic powers are the secret to Cameron's success.
Unfortunately it's let down by a sledgehammer approach to gender roles. This is obviously a show that's been made in the wake of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, with its arse-kicking heroine and feminist slant, but it takes the movement to an extreme - rarely missing the opportunity to beat you over the head with the knowledge that men are pigs (aside from the main love interest, and the occasional largely silent bodyguard). We're scum, and the default attitude towards us should be disdain. It makes sense for lead character Max, who's had a childhood traumatised and life ruined by military men - that's a central concept of the show, and it's fine. But it's a world view that's shared by her friends and coworkers, and reinforced by nearly every straight white man she meets. I'd accuse the show of misandry, but... it's primarily written by men.
Still. It makes for good watching. It feels strange coming back to this after so long, when Jessica Alba is now more commonly associated with fairly fluffy roles, but she is perfect in this role of prickly yet feminine killing machine. You don't see the joins in her performance at all. Good action, involving plot, and a brilliantly conceived universe on display.

D'n'.
Honestly d'n' if I can. :-\
You ain't even got to "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" yet, man.
You ain't even.
I just... at this point, I feel like I'd be able to digest the show easier if it were a cartoon.
Hear me out: I mean, the show from what I've seen is basically a live-action cartoon that I'd have loved in my childhood years on Cartoon Network or something. I'm not even kidding or trying to sound demeaning to it, I just really feel like it being live action doesn't do it any favors in how I process what I'm being shown, so while I can appreciate most of its themes, for both the comedy and drama, I feel disconnected from it because it seems to be in some truly otherworldly element... which is why I suppose a lot of people love it so much, but that just doesn't work for me. Like the inverse of seeing Fairly Odd Parents go live action. Or exact same thing... I'm not even sure anymore.
You disappoint me so greatly, man.
So very very greatly.
You're not a SpaceBrother...
You're a SpaceBastard.
Seriously, though, man, keep going. You're, like, one or two episodes away from some of the best television episodes I've ever seen.

Knowing a lot of the television episodes you've seen... I don't know how it's going to live up to that within the space of two episodes, but I'll give it a shot.
Maybe I'm overselling it a tad, but if you see "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" and it still doesn't sell you on the show, I guess there's no hope for you.
But at the very least, watch up to that.

I WILL FIND YOU
lulz Sweeps. Just watch any episode, you don't even need to watch them in order. I just watched the 50th anniversary special earlier last night and I still got to catch up from the very beginning of the series decades ago. I've seen some episodes here and there.
What I'm trying to say, don't feel pressured to watch the show, so just watch any episode, continuity be damned, because to be honest, it really doesn't matter.
Time travel and shit.
That's not easy for me because I like to know things like "Who?"(applause pls), "Where?", "Why?", and "What?"
I don't like the thought of jumping around in a show and having a character be different or not there altogether because it happened in an episode I missed. I'm firmly against skipping episodes in any show that has connecting threads between them that can change the way any episode after it plays out. I've already observed in the few episodes of this show I've seen, even as non-nonsensically random as the premises come about, there are connecting factors between episodes that skipping out on would prove to make the show make even less sense to me.
So really, the judgement will be down to whether I like it or not as a series... and not so much as a series of random events... even though it kind of already is that... just with familiar faces that have already experienced said random events... time travel... space... words...

Don't rate Dr who.
A.) the fans turn me off.
B.) I watched the show as a kid, as an adult it don't float my boat.. just seems way too forced.
Eastbound and down final Ep
I't actually ended on a heartfelt note even though it started out so surreal, the guest stars in the ep were amazing, i'm not going to ruin it on the off chance you uncultured philistines actually decided to watch it through to the end, dis series gon be remembered as an american cult classic one day.
Series 4 is actually best series in the run even better than the first one, and miles better than 2 and 3.
I've gotta get caught up, I've had it put on hold since some point around the middle of Season 2. I was marathoning it, so as soon as I actually had to stop to do things, I just never got back to it for whatever reason, even though I loved it all.
Ditch dr who,
Whatever cultural significance that series had shit was extinguished years ago lol, now its a tumblr meme, place it right next to supernatural :P
(this isnt a go at fans of the show btw, just my own personal jaded view on shit plz dont take me serio :) )

Yet another show to place on that Wednesday night stream. It's the only way to actually finish now.
Do it id totes join in but I'm usually at work in meetings at that time :(
Depends if Sweeps agrees to it, but I'm sure he will. We wait freaking hours for Veps to get him to stream Arrow, and we're always internally screaming because of it. Spending the time watching other stuff in the mean time should definitely help.

Cowboy Bebop Ep. 4-6
Goddamn episode 5 and 6 were some pretty heavy shit, especially 5.
Doctor Who S01E12-13 "Bad Wolf"/"The Parting of the Ways"
The grand finale of Series 1, and man, what a finale it is. Not the best the season has to offer (that's an honour distinctly held by "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances"), but it's up there. Especially the ending. That last scene never fails to bring forth the emotions. I feel sad again watching Eccleston go, knowing he'll likely never don the leather jacket again. But at the same time, I'm glad to be able to watch Tennant take on the role once more.
Eccleston really doesn't seem to have any love for Dr Who beyond being glad to have done it once and got a positive reaction from kids who liked the show.
Kill la Kill - Episode 9
The show is paced perfectly, managing to pull off 24 minutes per-episode and make it feel worth it on a week-to-week viewing basis. It really does not screw around, whether it's with an astounding battle scene, interesting character developments, or hilarious dialogue and animation; the fact that they pull that off and make it worth not simply marathoning is something a lot of shows, including (if not especially) some hour-long dramas should learn from, as to not make them simple DVR backups or downloads put on hold.
Oh, and they do it without dangling a clear end goal for the viewer to gawk over, as they're disappointed by the protagonists not reaching it week-by-week. The structure itself is interesting, strange, and funny in nature. This episode really encapsulated all of the things that make the show so amazing, causing me to slip into what I'm quite sure may be a seizure from the time it starts to the end just due to how overwhelmed with "awesome" I am. The show is a reminder that it's good to have fun, and that fun can be utterly stimulating when done right. Nothing right now is doing it better.
That episode was pure badassery. Shit gonna get more craze.

Homeland - Season 3 - Episode 1
Now that the Season 3 is almost over, I figured it was long overdue to get myself caught up. Yes, Homeland remains a good kick in my ass for writing in a character-study espionage drama. I can sink in and appreciate most shows of an amazing, top quality, but when I watch Homeland, I undistractingly feel the urge to take notes. Just a really incredible, tense, creative, and absorbing show.
Whitnessing the downfall of the Central Intelligence Agency seems to be the focus of this season, and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Oh god. Masterful episode, one of the best in the series, in fact. It's truly Mandy Patinkin's show this season, and he is utterly brilliant. His chemistry with F. Murray Abraham is also great; they're two tremendous theater legends nailing every scene they share together, and it's a pleasure to watch. All of the characters are really evolving on this episode, perhaps most interestingly, aside from Saul, is Quinn's new development which echos back to the beginning of the season and perhaps even some residual guilt over not taking a certain shot in the last Season's finale.
Very glad I'm going to be caught up on this before the finale on Sunday.
Mr. Bean. Why am I watching Mr. Bean? Not even sure if I like it or not but I can't stop watching it ???
Homeland - Season 3 - Episode 11
Penultimate episode, and noticing my leg was nervously bouncing constantly along with my heart racing, good god does it show. This really is film-quality television in that, through either massive funding or brilliant resourcefulness, they've crafted a presentation so absorbing that I literally feel like I'm in a movie theater, so removed from the home setting I watch the show in, and thrown into its world of espionage and constantly shifting character ambiguities.
When a show makes you wonder which way a character is going to lean from the first episode of the first season and still has you at that exact same level eleven episodes into the third season, you've got some masterful storytelling. It's strange, because the way it's done, the make sure the case for a character going one way or another isn't lopsided nor loaded, but even in chance due to either how much history they've built up with a character or lack thereof, creating uncertainty of how they will proceed with the circumstances given to them-- and it's never easy, and the path is never clear, no matter how bold or brilliant a plan may be.
Truly one of the great espionage stories put to the screen, large or small-- the lines are blurred here, along with many others.
Arrow S02 E09 "Three Ghosts"
Dat ending. Dem setups. Dat awesome villain speech. UNF.
Kill la Kill Episode 11
Hype be through the roof yo.
Same. They just keep upping and upping the stakes and expanding the picture... which is discomforting in a really great way. They did such a great job of making it seem like Satsuki would be the leading villain throughout the series, even though everybody knew - and they knew everybody would
know - that she ultimately wouldn't be. Hell, Ryuko no longer even has a quarrel with Satsuki when you think about it. Not only that, but Satsuki seems to be so at odds with her mother that she's seemingly hoping for Ryuko to kill Harime Nui. Now no game matters to either of them, Ryuko knows all she has to know, and she has her father's assassin right infront of her, smiling innocently-- and
that is where so much of that amazing rage comes from. Just some random smiling carefree girl out of nowhere making the ultimate claim and having the big pointy proof to back it.

Highlander S02 E14-15 "Unholy Alliance, Parts 1 & 2"
Pretty epic two parter, featuring some pretty cool returning villains. Adrian Paul, as usual, is awesome. Duncan is basically the Etzio to Connor's Altair, which makes him pretty damn cool in my book. It's cool to see the setting shift back to Paris again. Slowly but surely finishing off this season.

Highlander S02 E16 "The Vampire"
Pretty good episode with a high flashback to present day ratio and lots of cool atmosphere. It also has Duncan kicking lots of ass.
Highlander S02 E17-18 "Warmonger" and "Legacy"
Not great episodes, but both had their high points. And the latter had Amanda in it, which is a plus.

Given the time jump, you couldn't have picked a better part to take a year off :P
Also, you are watching one of the best arcs of the show at the moment! I really can't wait to hear your thoughts on where the show goes, especially once you hit the last few episodes of season three.
Highlander S02 E20 "Pharaoh's Daughter"
This just getting a bit silly. MacLeod can't even open a sarcophagus without finding an insanely beautiful woman who wants to f**k him. Overall though, the episode was much better than I was expecting from the plot description on Netflix. Marcus Constantine is easily one of the best immortals in anything Highlander related.
Highlander S02 E21-22 "Counterfeit, Parts 1 & 2"
A pretty satisfying season finale, even if the two parts felt rather isolated from one another. I was also a bit tired of James Horton by this point. He was a great bad guy and all, but they killed him off and brought him back way too many times. Hopefully he stays dead, and Season 3 can be its own thing.

holiday themed episode as well. It was GREAT, the part with Santa and Stan at the end was hilarious!
Godzilla: The Animated Series 4/5
Could be better due to the formulaic style of the episodes but it's still better than
the Godzilla 98 film so I can't rate it too harshly for that..
Homeland - Season 3 - Episode 13 "The Star"
No spoilers here.
Season finale could very well be the series finale. Not in the same way that Season 4 of Breaking Bad almost had that feel, but this could legitimately be regarded as the series finale. It was beautiful, long, taking up the full hour timeslot, and perfect, doing what the show always promised it would in a satisfying, definitively and utterly bitter-sweet manner with a great sentiment to end on. To be completely honest, I almost feel that the showrunners made it this way, with only a single detail that could even be considered a slight ambiguity or loose end, as a precaution for the series. We've seen what the same network, Showtime, has done with Dexter, drawing it out much longer than it had any business being before ending it miserably, and due to the popularity of Homeland, that possibility for it going a similar path is always a possibility, should the network request it. The talent can leave, but the show will go on.
Trust me, that's not at all what I want to see happen, or even have weighing against me for next season, but I thought it was a great move to at least create this as a checkpoint of some sort to guarantee there can be something considered an ending to encapsulate the show's immense quality on a finale, graceful note. There is the guarantee of many prospects in the show's future, as planted in this finale, which could just as easily be seen as giving the characters direction to head off in, be it toward a sunset or darker road to end on, but it also gives the show direction to continue in. Still, I can't see an ending getting much better than this, with what we have left at least.
What a beautiful ending.
Supernatural S6E16-20 "...And Then There Were None", "My Heart Will Go On", "Frontierland", "Mommy Dearest" and "The Man Who Would Be King"
Well Eve's story was ridiculously anticlimactic. Not that I really cared much for the 'Mother of Monsters' story arc much anyways. Castiel's story, however, has been fantastic during these last few episodes. "The Man Who Would Be King" may have been one of the show's best episodes so far. "Frontierland" was also a lot of fun, and I loved seeing Ellen again, however briefly, in "My Heart Will Go On".
Gonna have some lunch and then finish the season :)
S6E21-22 "Let It Bleed" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much"
Really good finale. I remember reading that the stuff that went down in that finale episode is taken care of in a single episode, though, which is a real shame. This last episode set up what had the potential to be a great season-long story arc.
Kill la Kill - Episode 12 "Spit Your Sadness Away"Well... that was one of the best directed episodes of an animated show I've ever seen. The images, colours, and story developments were all incredible, as much as a feast for the eyes as it was for the soul. The ending with Mako and Ryuko was absolutely beautiful, as was the score for the moment. I'm really trying hard not to just spout spoilers everywhere right now, but shit... this show is continues as one of the best edited and paced half-hour animated shows I've watched week-by-week. The direction it's going in is bold to say the least, and the scale just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

After the episode, you'll probably catch on to the themes, since you're one of the smarter people, but it's a good overview of what the show is trying to accomplish thematically both in a well-humoured and original fashion. Hell, it even gives viewers that bump to get over, whether they're liking it or not, before they accept its place in the show's universe, so it doesn't even take the easy route in presenting the theme.
It takes something special to change the attitude toward it from weird to badass- even if most actively perceptive viewers will be able to sense
something going on there. And it's not condescending, pointed, or preachy, (as in, it doesn't throw some obligatory 'shame on you' statement to the viewer if they find it sexy) and that's a major plus in my eyes. The whole thing is about empowerment through strange means and I love that shit.
The whole thing is honestly one of my favorite animated shows I've watched, it's a great, full utilization of the medium in order to tell its story, and it's multiple forms of gorgeous to look at. A kickass, soulful week-to-week watch.
I just finished ep. 2.
Dat HARDCORE tennis match. :D
It's one of the weirdest things around for sure.. but it's also very VERY smart anc creative.. it just doesnt flaunt it. ;)
Satsuke's speech in the first episode about "Fear is freedom!" / "Subjugation is liberation" etc... Orwell 1984 references. Noice.
In the 2nd episode we get the "Japanese school uniforms are designed like military/naval uniforms" speech.... and the militarization of children/teenagers... noice stuff.
They are going full on with their "School is a battleground" theme and i love it. :laugh:

Supernatural S7E01-02 'Meet The New Boss' and 'Hello, Cruel World'
The ending of season six opened up a great potential storyline that could have lasted at least half a season, but unfortunately they decided to wrap it up in a single episode and introduce the Leviathans. Bit too early to judge them just yet, but from the looks/sound of it it seems like they are a very interesting concept that's gonna be very misused. :-\
Loved seeing Death again, though. Love that guy.
Season 6 wasn't terrible, but Season 7 is the one that's kind of shitty. Sorry. :D
But then it gets pretty good with Season 8 again.
Yeah, basically just making my way through this so that I make it to Season 8 :D Overall I actually really liked Season 6, apart from Eve and the alphas thing. But the Castiel and Crowley stuff and soulless Sam was great. Would've liked to have seen more of a justification for Samuel Campbell being there, though.
Kill la Kill - Episode 12

The Wire S2E01 "Ebb Tide"
Picking things up a few months after they were left at the end of the first season, this was a great way to start of the second. Seeing all the old characters and what they're up to, as well as a few new ones just introduced. It's looking to be very different from the first season, but with many connecting threads running through it all. Very much looking forward to continuing this show.

I still have to see the 2nd season of the Wire.. cough cough.. :P Loved the first one. :P Then got sidetracked on my Farscape 4 seasons + tvfilm run.
4th episode of Kill La Kill... dat fiendish double cross and accurate depiction of "the great adventure of getting to school on time". unf. So far this is an incredibly accurate tv show.

The good thing is that there's a fairly significant time-gap between the two seasons, so letting it sit for awhile isn't overly jarring.

Paulie ended up being my favorite character. :laugh:
Supernatural S7E03-5 'The Girl Next Door', 'Defending Your Life', and 'Shut Up, Dr. Phil'
The monster of the week stuff has been decent enough, I guess, and Sam and Dean are as fun as ever, but I can't say I'm caring for the main story of the season so far. Sam's hallucinations are cool, I guess (always good to have Mark Pellegrino back in your show). Loved seeing Jo again, though :-*
Kill La Kill episode 12
..... most shows end up dragging out the reveal of their main mystery over several seasons.... these guys solved it in 12 episodes and in EPIC FASHIOn. No hack writing here! haha.

Back on Christmas Eve:
Married... With Children : It's a Bundyful Life Part I and II: The creators of the show wrote these two episodes and they are priceless. Al announces he opened a Christmas club account (and Peggy reminds him they get 2% interest instead of the normal 5% :laugh: ) and is going to buy presents and take the family out for Christmas feast at Dennys. However, Al can't get to the bank on time and therefore can not get the money. Then he wonders what life would be like if he were never born, and his guardian angel shows him what life would have been. Again, these episodes are brillantly written and fantastic overall! 10/10 for both.
Disc 3 of Hannibal. Gawd, that last scene works.
I am two seasons behind on Mad Men. Still need to see both Five and Six in their entirety. Time to change that.
Also Betty's a whore, who shouldn't get a f**king dime.
Urusei Yatsura - Episodes 1 and 2. I love the half episodes in one, my favorite TV show ever has officially begun it's rewatching! :D Ataru is still an idiot and Lum is cute as ever. Also poor Shinobu, she really liked Ataru back then. ;) Priceless/10
Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex 2nd GiG E01: "Reembody"
Section 9 is back in form. This was a great episode. Fantastic visuals, lovely animation, exciting action, full of cool tech and gadgets. A very great way to slide back into the series. Some of the political commentary was a bit too on the nose (as in, if felt like someone took a sledgehammer to the nose), but that was a relatively small part of the episode. All in all, 2nd GiG is looking to be quite good, and I can't wait to see-
Wait... Are those the...?
No... it can't be... they were dead, destroyed......
It is. It's the Tachikomas. No. No.

Watched up to episode 10 of

I can't say I care for the season's story at all (hey, let's create a really interesting concept for a villain that predates humanity and demons and angels and have them...infiltrate the government and call each other on cell phones :-X ), but that last episode hit all the right beats and was definitely the best all season.

Theres a ship thats the statue of liberty's head with a ball-gag in her mouth lol.
I got the sixteenth season of The Simpsons on DVD, and watched a few episodes last night. Yeah, the drop off in quality is apparent. They weren't terrible, just kind of forgettable. Marge's psychotic laugh was kind of scary, though.l

Crazy mothaf**ka, English version is perfect.
Just watched it sooo f**king gewwwdd,
love the st, the animation da lot, new fav show.
Like Bebop, it's one of those shows that really makes you notice the original soundtrack because of how perfectly it works in sync with the visuals. It's also just really catchy.
People who hate fun and madness need not apply.
f**king nuts and I love it.
Yeah it's super kinetic, love the colour palette, and character design it really is a breath of fresh air, even the autotune on qt's voice, the general style kinda reminds me of interstella 5555
Holy shit, I was wonder what it reminded me of! Absolutely, good catch.
...now I want to watch Interstella again.
Breaking Bad S2E01-03 'Seven Thirty-Seven', 'Grilled', and 'Bit by a Dead Bee'
Yesss 8) I absolutely love the way this show it using its opening scenes. And it's always cool seeing one of the actors direct an episode. Cranston did a great job with the season opener.

Good man.
Hey new Simpsons episode shows signs of humour and clever satire on the age old debate of film piracy :)
Actually mocking the film industry it appears (probably don't mean it though).
Episodes 1-9 of The Following. I am really liking it so far, even if it tends to get just a bit...no. It gets very redonkulous from time to time (fat killer climbs down from the ceiling without making a sound) in the classic slasher fashion. James Purefoy is deliciously evil. He may not dress as well as Hannibal or eat people, but Purefoy's character is a master manipulator recruiting like minded killers into his Edgar Allen Poe fetish cult. I think they were right when they said this jumped the shark in the first season, but f**k it's like a roller coaster, and at this point I am just along for the ride.

Arrow's only competition.
Kill la Kill - Episode 13It's back from its three-week hiatus with the most incredible episode yet. I screamed at the end- yes, literally screamed in a mix of rage, anguish, anticipation, and sheer admiration for the show. That's an accomplishment all on its own. I'm selling this one short because my reaction has been so strong that I don't think I can type enough to sell it. It's the best television show airing anywhere right now.
If you enjoy animation and you're not watching this show, I feel sorry for you.

For reals I need a proper critique of the show.
I think people like the BANE series, more because they dislike themselves. It's kind of a masochistic kind of like. I mean, the jokes, while being entertaining sometimes, are generally uninspired and lacking in the wit department.

Just lols.
That was a really grueling episode to make. Half our budget went to band-aids ( :'( ouch!), so obviously the special effects weren't as good as they could have been.

Also watched ep2 Loved the wormhole sequence, the animation is Devine, the colour palette is unlike anything else, and dat ST once again, as for the narrative wtf hahaha
Kill la kill ep 2
The show feels like it's a lot shorter than it is, it does seem formulaic but i can forgive it as I'm only 2 eps in, love the character introductions, I genuinely laughed in a couple of occasions, lol the dog introduction was one of them, next episode looks interesting hahah

Girls s3 ep1 and 2
Missed this show, dat Adam, you want an accurate description of gen y this is it, also if Richard E Grant is up for guest staring you know shits gewd, don't listen to bane he knows f**k all.
Space Dandy - Episode 2
Incredible, just... f**king great. It's as whacky as it is visually arresting, and I said earlier when it was announced that I'd give it four episodes to start opening up to some hints of emotional depth, since, y'know, Shinichiro Watanabe... but hey, why not just get there in episode 2 and surround it by crazy spacey circumstances, making it not feel out of place?
The show is so unabashed in what it's trying to present, which is off-the wall comedy unrestrained by any kind of scientific rule like the most classic old school pulp space sci-fi often is, maintaining a beating heart that quickly produces leagues of value to hold on to. The stories and characters are fun and funny, the action is insane, the animation is inventive and top-tier, the soundtrack is sensational, and the voice over work (I watch with the English version) is pitch-perfect.
I'm officially in the loop of week-to-week hype for this.
Oh, and Scarlet- that is all. Thank you.

Oh for f**ks sake, this show is 90% lackluster tits and 10% depressing.
So really, 100% depressing.
What's worse is that I'm supposed to like it because apparently it's accurate. ::)
In all seriousness, it's a depressing and unfunny show.

So In all "seriousness" you hate the show because you're a massive sexist, go find refuge in the "which tits I wanked over last thread" haha
It's a drama, not a comedy, not to say it doesn't have some really hilarious moments.
Aaaaaand fun times gone.
No, that is not a genuine complaint I have about the show, I was merely alluding to a common remark people have made about the upper body nudity on the show. Which, in my opinion, is not frequent or excessive in any way, and nor am I shallow enough to allow such things to affect my opinion of a show. Etc, etc... with the legal-esque disclaimers.
My real problems with the show are probably due to the fact that this was billed to me as a comedy-drama rather than a drama with attempts at comedy here and there. So I was already expecting the wrong things, and so I was severely disappointed. Not once did I laugh. Not once did I smile. So I didn't enjoy it at all.
Now, on to the drama aspect of it. I'm certainly sure that it's a decent depiction of life for a twenty-something in New York struggling to find their way as a writer with an annoying moron, a beauty and a gypsy for friends. I don't doubt that it's accurate in that regard (I have no way of verifying this). But it's depressing as hell to see these useless characters constantly make decisions I'm completely baffled by. I'll use an analogy with Eastbound and Down, which I know you like; alot of people find Stevie funny. I don't know about you, but I find him a very sad, pathetic character, and any humour I could have derived from him is replaced by an intense sadness and depression at how pathetic he is. With Girls, Hannah depresses the absolute shit out of me, and I get angry when she constantly makes dumb choices in her love, social and work life. I get frustrated and I want to jump in and go "f**k's sake, do this, this and this". Obviously there's a personality clash, and this just ruins the show for me.
So I say sure, it's good drama. But the first season so utterly crushed me that I couldn't watch anything else.
Tell me, does it get any better in season 2 and 3 or is everyone exactly the same? Further, why do you like the show?
True Detective S01 E01 "The Long Bright Dark"
I'm not entirely sold on the plot just yet, but the acting and character work are so good that it barely matters. The conversation in the car about Cohle's worldview was fantastic and easily worth watching the whole episode for. There were some nice bits of camerawork, and the overall production values are pretty good. I lol'd at the occasional 90s fashions that popped up. Daddario got hit hard by that in her two minutes of screen time. :laugh:
The Golden Globes
The winners were alright this year... that's not what really pissed me off from watching this live...
Is it me or did the shows producer, Foktard Kissmypecker, decide to send off almost every single winner, in the middle of their acceptance speech, with that shitty elevator music tune to get them off the stage, so they could squeeze in a couple of extra speaker sponsor infomercials?
I don't really care if the winners give good or bad speeches or how long they are. What I do care about, is giving them this single moment (perhaps a highlight of their respective careers they'll never forget), because... isn't that what this show is all about?
Breaking Bad S2E07-09 'Negro Y Azul', 'Better Call Saul', and '4 Days Out'
Just when I thought I was going to get a happy ending. :-\ Anyways, Saul was great. I know he's supposed to be getting a spinoff show; wonder how that's going to be. Hank's situation is really interesting right now, too.
This show has such a great visual sense to it; I'm having a bit of a hard time phrasing my thoughts at the moment, but I love the way certain important images, even those not important at the moment they are introduced, are set up. The payoff is always fantastic.

Pretty sure the reimagined series is on Netflix, if you have that. If you haven't seen the show, it comes with my highest recommendation.
Appreciate the lengthy reply.

Its a drama then, ill agree some / all of the characters are totally unlikeable but they are nuanced, just like real people, i can see myself and some people i know in the characters on the show, and yeah it makes me cringe and get angry, but thats a hallmark of great drama for me.

Again with Stevie he is sad pathetic, but only as sad an pathetic as Kenny is, that said he's pretty much Kennys only real friend and is loyal as f**k, i don't know if you watched through much of eastbound, he does have character progression, i like stevie his kinda endearing in a weird way.

Not really a complaint as much as it is a neutral observation. ;)

Fair enough.
I see it as a bad show.

Well for starters I can't really see myself in any of these characters. Which addresses a concern I've been having for awhile; under representation of male gingers in the media. We currently have one prominent redhead on TV, whom we must all give thanks for (His Lankiness Conan O'Brien). If even one of them was ginger I could see myself in them. But alas, they're all regular shades of white and that boring black or brown hair.

I mean, he's loyal like a dog and about as independent and intelligent, but Jesus I feel sad when I watch him.
And I've watched three seasons. To be honest I thought it had ended, but I hear there's a fourth...any good?

The fourth season is the best, apparently the actress who played April, pulled out of the second season at the last minute to act in Mike and Molly forcing them to rewrite the entire 2 season in a week or something so that explains the drop in quality of the second and 3rd seasons.

organization has started operation Red Head Redemption, whereby we systematically replace all sperm in American Sperm Banks with that of red heads from around the globe. And as it's a recessive gene, there's no reason why anyone would suspect anything. Some may not be ginger; some may be. But the gene survives.

Nope, he thinks it's shit. :laugh:
Game of Thrones certainly wasn't bad when I watched it (only caught the first season and some of the second), I just thought it was overhyped beyond imagination.

In reality our...organization has started operation Red Head Redemption, whereby we systematically replace all sperm in American Sperm Banks with that of red heads from around the globe. And as it's a recessive gene, there's no reason why anyone would suspect anything. Some may not be ginger; some may be. But the gene survives.
Red Head Redemption is GO!
Don't tell me you believe that bs with redheads going extinct this century? :D

YES. Just watched it, sheer greatness, probably the most comically-fueled episode since Episode 4, and I love it. Also, Ryuko's look was f**king awesome, got Nono (Diebuster) vibes from those glasses. I laughed the whole way through, and the next episode is bound to be a monumentally huge collision... god

True Detective S01 E02 "Seeing Things"
This show officially has me hooked. The plot has started to progress a bit more, and the acting is as compelling as before. I'm really liking the direction the show is taking. It's definitely quite different from your standard procedural. In addition, I must say that I didn't think Kevin Dunn could be as awesome as he was here.

I'm loving the occult aspects related to the killings, and the whole thing with the occult task force was amusing.

Overall it was ok. The "new" animation kinda was silly but compared to what the original series was it shows how much current animated series depend on computers. However, it was great to know all the original voice talents were present!

It was good. I liked that it felt like just another episode, that it wasn't trying to be some big revival or something. I still need to get used to the animation, because sometimes the facial expressions just didn't feel right. Anyway, the special was funny, the characters didn't feel out of character, all in all it was good to have them back again at least for one day.

True Detective episodes 1+2
I was hooked 10 minutes into this. Love the characters, the atmospheric setting, the slow pace, taking its time to tell a good story. If I didn't know better, I'd think these guys had a look at Memories Of Murder before shooting this series, because it has a very similar feel to it.

10/10, best animu ever. No 2deep4u shite, extremely aware of the fact that it's effectively an advertisement which leads to some hilarious things being snuck in by the writers and artists, basically to the point of self parody. Also some bitchin' creature designs, several of which are rather pleasant Alien rip-offs.

I can't say much... only because I'm picking my jaw up off the floor. I'll be brief: it's the most action-packed, rousing, dynamic, and momentous episode of the series to date, and the climax of the show's first half, no less. If it was any question before, it's been eliminated here- it's a masterpiece of the finest, most original brand.

Fine choices, my friend 8) And yeah, at the point you are any prediction you made was bound to be wrong, anyways. Especially once the show hit season 3, where it begins to tackle material that I never saw coming (yet was set up in really, really awesome ways).
You're in for one hell of a ride.
It's amongst Alien/Aliens, Evangelion, Blade Runner, Cowboy Bebop, and District 9 in science fiction that uses its backdrop as a tool to tell a story with unparalleled social, psychological, philosophical, and emotional importance. Not simply allegorical, it feels as though it relates more to our reality than most stories based in our reality do.
Generation War parts 1 & 2
3 part miniseries in the same vein as Band Of Brothers, Set in WW2 from the German perspective against the Russians. FANTASTIC, I can not stress enough how good this show is.

That's a good way to go in. Definitely no need to have read the stories beforehand. The biggest thing it adds is picking up on the countless references and allusions that the show is full of.

It's losing me. I think when watching a show becomes more of a chore or and obligation than a joy, then it might be time to give it up. Nothing's happening. The show treads water, and that's about it.
Space Dandy - Episode 4
The space zombie story to end them all. Ironically, I think at this point, the show would be breaking a rule of its own if it began a continuing storyline, and I'm okay with that. The show's final episode could be the entire cast dying and it wouldn't even be sad because in the next non-existent episode they'd be alive again. I'm pretty sure this is why the whole space-time continuum line pulling deal was demonstrated in the very first episode.
This show fills the void that Duck Dodgers left in me.
^ it was a fun ep, I like that it's breaking it's rules keeps it fresh, love the alien designs.
Lol f**king Space Dandy, I just lol'd the entire time. Freaking Dandy and his universe altering powers is just gonna fix it all.
Just started Firefly, only three episodes in and I think it's pretty great. In a few days I'm sure I'll love it.

Kill la Kill - Episode 16
-Vague/Minor Spoilers Ahead-
Most revealing (take that as you will, because it goes both ways), sexiest, and most visually hilarious episode yet. Amazing character moments throughout and some awesome reveals... but really, this was Satsuki's episode. Seeing her look as she does here around her Mother had her both emotionally and literally bare and it was amazing, adding a lot of depth to her character. I almost feel like there will be a group of people that will hate what's been going on with her, but I think it's precisely what needs to be shown of her character at this point.
This also had some of the best handled, most visually striking and hilariously presented exposition I've seen in any show, making itself very self aware but never uninteresting, despite the fact that Mako keeps falling asleep. But Mako fell asleep on a battlefield before, so...
Oh, and as for the Grand Bathhouse scene, I thought it was equal parts unnerving and sexy in a obviously taboo, yet surprisingly mature way. The show really does get away with a lot of sexual material, but this really took it to a different level and I think it was well-deserved and served a compelling purpose for Ragyo and Satsuki. Again: unnerving, but very sexy.
Needless to say... loved it all.
PS- New opening and closing credits are both really nice, particularly the opening which is entirely fitting for the show, though the ending credits are off-beat and a bit ironic with a focus on Mako being a strange choice along with the cutesy style (similar to Space Dandy's Japanese outro)... but I can't help but love it, even though it's entirely out of a different show as it would seem. I suppose the point is getting a glimpse into Mako's mind though, which is both sweet and odd at the same time. Like her Mom's croquettes.
I agree with everything you said, but I like the new opening and ending a lot more than the first ones.
That gay panic...

Is this deconstruction anime?
I wouldn't say so, but it's got a lot to say about societal culture and one hell of an odd way of presenting it, yet getting the point across better than most stories could ever hope to, which makes it amazing. It's also incredibly hilarious, thrilling, and badass.
It's still on-going and already an all-time favorite of mine.

Appalachian Outlaws - Episode 5
Apparently one of the rarest wild plants is American Ginseng and this show is all about it in its most vivid state, West Virginia (very close to me). The root of this plant can go for up to $800 a pound, depending on color, size and appearance. It takes about 10 years for the plant to even get to start a decent fleshy root so it takes time for these to grow. Some OLD plant roots that are huge and very crazy looking can go up to thousands of dollars. The wild plant is nearly endangered bc so many people are now searching for it. Anyways, this show is about how the plant thrives old West Virginian laws and people can get killed over it. Mike Ross is one badass mofo and will defend his land to the death, my favorite person so far. Next week is the season finale and it looks great. Can't wait to find these plants next autumn because I know I DEFINITELY have these in my forests! Let the hunting begin (next autumn)!

The Following
Season 2: Episode 4
UNF! After last season I had no idea where they were going to go. And then it dawned on me that the only way it could carry on is by the writers doing something I knew I would hate. But... it works really well. And this season is actually a lot darker so far than the first season. There is a definite tension with certain mysterious new characters and all the "good" characters are treading grey areas. It's building up to something (aside from the obvious) but what that is remains to be seen.
And Connie Nielsen is beautiful.

No. It seems like the writers like to build up the suspected menace before we are actually introduced to it, only to have it play out against our expectations somehow.

No. It seems like the writers like to build up the suspected menace before we are actually introduced to it, only to have it play out against our expectations somehow.

The ending of episode 6 was pure psychedelic and calming bliss after an episode full of laughs and weird ass shit. :laugh:
Episode 7, was nonstop laughs through out, with it just building and building as the episode went on until the insane skullf**k of an ending. :laugh: The narrator said it best: A place beyond human comprehension.

That show does have its faults but there is something I really like about it that keeps bringing me back with each new episode.
I don't know how far in you are but if you're all caught up:
Spoiler
It was no surprise to me that Lily was up to something but it's still kind of vague what exactly that is. This season started off with more of a buildup than the first season that just dove right into it. I like the twins. I like the new dynamic which is far more interesting than the previous cult. And I'm interested to see how things play out. They're hitting even more grey areas with the characters this time.
I watched the first season a few months back and thought it jumped the shark during the mid-way point. But it was like a train wreck, I couldn't turn away and had to keep watching. It's one of the worst-best shows I've seen. And James Purefoy is a delight! :laugh:

At what point did you think it jumped the shark?
Spoiler
When the Sheriff (who was a following member) was brought in to aid in the investigation. The FBI is investigating Carrol's group. When he kiddnapped Weston, you'd think he and his clan would want to protect their identities - especially the sheriff given his position of power.

Yeah, that wasn't very smart. :laugh:
Flaws aside, the show's cinematography and its somber mood are great and effective. And there are some wonderful character moments. The acting is top notch.
It's just a pity that the writing is weak at times. I do like this slow burn of season 2 though and it's actually more intriguing than season 1, I feel. But we'll see...

Yup, wasn't too crazy about that but it was the only way the show would have had a second season. :laugh: There is an explanation for it even though it just came out of nowhere...
But what they do with his character in the start of season 2 is interesting. And I think the dynamic in this season with all the new characters is a lot more intense.

True Detective S01 E06 "Haunted Houses"
It looks like the various threads are finally starting to come together. The next two episodes should be some great shit.
Spoiler
Cvalda- McConaughey's ass makes an appearance this episode. :P
Just watched the first episode of The Fades, sort of a British Supernatural (made by BBC), only there aren't nine seasons, just six episodes. Iain De Caestecker (Agents of SHIELD) plays the main character, Paul, who have harrowing visions of the future (almost reminds of the ones from Carpenter's Prince of Darkness). Natalie Dormer plays a rather large supporting role and Ian Hanmore (the creepy warlock from Game of Thrones) plays the "villain", of a sort. The rest of the cast is solid as well. Daniel Kaluuya plays Paul's best friend and I like the friendship between the two of them.
So far I'm really liking this, and since it's only six episodes long, I think it's going to be a solid run.

Game of Thrones Season Three
Valar Dohaeris
Ah yes, it's wonderful to see these characters again. Season Three gets off to a strong start. We're re-introduced to some of our favorite characters like Tyrion, John Snow, Stannis (for myself) and a whole bunch of others. I feel one of the best parts of this episode is the ending. A character from Season One returns in a rather badass fashion.
After the first episode, the rest of the season becomes a rollar coaster of emotions. You'll laugh, cry and cheer.
...particularly the crying part. :(

Season 2: Episode 6
Holy shit, this season is shaping up to be far more exciting than the previous season. I love it. The new additions and the new storyline is fantastic. I love it when a show gets a second season and it's even stronger than the first.
Season 3 of The Walking Dead. That was a great season, and definitely makes up for the second. There only seemed one or two filler episodes in the middle.

Andrea's death. It seemed like the writers just did it to shut up the whining fans. She had a lot of story potential left in her.
In my opinion season 4 managed to be even better, and has been the show's best season so far.
Game of Thrones S2E9-10: "Blackwater", "Valar Morghulis"
An absolutely perfect way to send off the second season. "Blackwater" is possibly the greatest television episode I've ever witnessed, and "Valar Morghulis" provides a perfect balance of denouement of the preceding events and set-up for what's still to come.
Can't wait to go through Season 3 again.

I really loved the development of Jaime in this season and the chemistry he had with Brienne was perfect. Really looking forward to seeing where that picks up in Season 4. Doesn't look like it will part much from the books, but it's nevertheless going to be interesting.
Spoiler
Not to mention that Jaime will be around for the Purple Wedding and that we saw a short clip of a Margaery/Brienne scene in the behind-the-scenes video a while ago. Those two never had any interaction in the books, as far as I know. Looking forward to it. :)
True Detective ep7
Loved it. I fear this series might come to a grim end for our detectives. They've embarked on their own personal journey into the Heart of Darkness and there's no turning back. And they know this won't end well for them.

True Detective S01 E07 "After You've Gone"
Yet another great episode. The finale is going to have to be insane to wrap all this up.
(Breaking Bad is fantastic.)
Just saw the latest Space Dandy. It was particularly WTF and I don't say that lightly about this show.
Breaking Bad S01 E05 "Gray Matter"
Yet another very good episode. It has Cranston's best acting in the series so far, and Hank's multiple failed attempts at making a sports metaphor were pretty damn funny.

Breaking Bad S02 E02 "Grilled"
Well, that episode was intense as f**k. Tío was pretty amusing, and Hank got to be genuinely bad ass for a bit there.
Breaking Bad S01 E03-04 "Bit by a Dead Bee" and "Down"
Episode three was a decent enough continuation from where episode two left off. It wasn't the best in the series, but still pretty good. Episode four, on the other hand, just felt like filler. It was basically forty minutes of people being horrible to each other, and then ten minutes of stuff that was actually interesting.
Breaking Bad S02 E05-06 "Breakage" and "Peekaboo"
A big step up from episodes three and four. These two were some of the best in the series so far. Oh, and that one meth head was totally reminding me of Trevor from GTA V. :laugh:

Arrow - Season 1
Pilot
Honor Thy Father
I had watched the pilot episode before and decided it was time to move on. So far it's good, but not great. There's definitely room for improvement, especially in the acting department (Amell can be a bit stiff). But it is my understanding that the show doesn't really get going until the later half of Season 1 or maybe even starting with Season 2. But I will watch on.

There's definitely room for improvement, especially in the acting department (Amell can be a bit stiff). But it is my understanding that the show doesn't really get going until the later half of Season 1 or maybe even starting with Season 2. But I will watch on.
UNF, Sweeps was almost going to abandon the show until he saw that I wasn't lying when I said it would get better. DO IT FOR SWEEPS!

Just dropped a bunch of monies on the entire collection of Breaking Bad, on Bluray. If I listen really closely, I think I can hear my wallet crying.
The blu-rays will awaken, throw your wallet across the room and say ala Heisenberg style: "Stay out of my territory." :laugh:
IF I had a blu player I would have gotten the barrel set... in time I guess.
Part 1 season finale of Gold Rush. Interesting segments, next week looks really good! Gonna watch an ep of
Urusei Yatsura then going to sleep.

Really want to watch this show. Had a bunch of people telling me about how much I would love it.
Breaking Bad S02 E07 "Negro y Azul"
Well, that was certainly an interesting way to open an episode. :laugh: It's always cool seeing Danny Trejo, and Jesse's landlord... unf.

Breaking Bad S01 E10 "Over"
That was a great episode. It functioned as a semi-quiet moment, but there was great stuff there nonetheless. DIY Walt was pretty cool, and the Battle of the Bald at his party was kind of awesome. And the ending was pretty damn spectacular. The episode really underlines the transformation Walt has undergone over the first two seasons, and Cranston has pulled it off beautifully.
10 episodes of Close Encounters. Good shit.
Breaking Bad S02 E11 "Mandala"
That was some tense shit. And surprise, Pinkman f**ks up again. At this rate, Need for Speed is gonna consist of him crashing every five minutes. :laugh:

Breaking Bad S03 E01-02 "No Más" and "Caballo Sin Nombre"
Not much going on in these episodes, but they seem to be setting up stuff for later in the season. Also, the cast seems to be filling up with more bald guys in every episode. They're taking over.
Breaking Bad S03 E03 "I.F.T."
And my gradually declining respect for Skyler keeps on dropping...
Bob's Burgers - S04 E12
Three tales of deranged comic bliss from the Belcher children: Louise executes a parody of the Terminator and Jurassic Park, Gene spins a not-very-funny Fame yarn about the liberating power of farts, and Tina saves the school from an erotic zombie invasion. "Swish -- nuthin' but butt." :laugh:
^ "Why am I the bad guy in every one of these!?!?!" :laugh:
The Simpsons - Bart becomes Falconer with a schizo kid in Springfield Elementary Falcon Club. Twas ok 7/10
The Simpsons - Lisa questions Taco Tuesday's veges and finds out they are GPO. The family finds out Sideshow Bob is a scientist with GPOs and is testing himself with GPOs. Overall I enjoyed this one much more, Kelsey G is boss and hearing Cape Fear music never gets old "Oh yeah, I forgot I have gills" UNDERWATER RAKE SLAP! Uuuuuhhhhh. ;D - 9/10
Family Guy - Peter's mom passes and her elder friend gets friendly with him and Stewie realizes no one is safe from death and keeps trying to kill himself. A better episode this season 7.5/10
Cosmos - Ep 1: Seth MacFarland produced this and it felt like it was made for elementary school. Hell I still enjoy anything about space and how small we are in the grand scheme of things. 8/10
Urusei Yatsura - Lum enrolls into Tomoboki High with Ataru not happy about it and the new teacher suggests she join the volleyball team to fit in. Only thing is the volleyball women's team captain is a muscled up, hardcore woman that scares every single guy on the mens team and overall, until she sees Mendou and is reminded of her former boyfriend. Classic ep 10/10

Just watch the season finale of True Detective, tense as f**k.
Wraps it up but leaves it open without going into spoilers.
I'll remember the haunting imagery and scenery best from
True Detective. The entire season is stylized as if Cohle and Hart were wandering around the rotting and decaying leftovers of a civilization long gong and all that's left are a landscape scarred by these overgrown ruins.
It wrapped up somewhat different than what I expected, but nevertheless the finale felt true to the main characters, although I found the true antagonist when finally revealed, to be somewhat of a caricature.
Spoiler
As if this guy doing what he does wasn't enough to get the point across that he's evil incarnated - he had to have an incestuous relationship with a sister and look like something that wandered off the set of The Hills Have Eyes as well. Yeah, ok we get it now lol
Game of Thrones S1E05-6 'The Wolf And The Lion' and 'A Golden Crown'
I had forgotten how brutal the confrontation in the street in 'The Wolf And The Lion' was. And how tense the final moments of 'A Golden Crown' are.
I did remember how much I hate Joffrey, though :D

Alas, poor Yoren.Did you know that Yoren is the son of Ser Rodrik? I don't know if they ever mentioned that in the show.
Huh, didn't realize that. I'm going to guess that that was something just kind of briefly mentioned in the books that I probably forgot about?
Pretty much yeah. I like how father and son sound very much alike in the show.
True Detective S01 E08 "Form and Void"
Pretty good episode, with a fitting closure for the two leads. The resolution of the case felt a bit, I dunno, clean and easy for my tastes.
Spoiler
The Yellow King was Peter Pettigrew's redneck clone all along, and the supernatural elements remained frustratingly vague.
Spoiler
There were supernatural elements?
Spoiler
It's ambiguous as to whether Rust was imagining them or not.
Spoiler
He was hallucinating. As it turned out, there were no actual supernatural elements at play in this story, only a plenthora of religious subtext and references.

Breaking Bad S03 E04 "Green Light"
I liked this one. Things are starting to get in motion again, and Hank got some good scenes. It was pretty funny seeing Jesse get trolled by his contact, but Skyler is still annoying me.

Poor Q. I was hoping he would get a scene with Jesse to provide some closure, but oh well.
Breaking Bad S03 E05 "Mas"
Wow, Jesse is so incompetent that he couldn't even buy an RV without f**king up. :laugh: Oh, and way to go Walt, for taking charge and showing who's boss.

Yep, things are definitely picking up. :)
Breaking Bad S03 E07 "One Minute"

Breaking Bad S03 E08 "I See You"
Another great episode, mixing the various elements well. Gotta love how they go from serious drama straight to Jesse goofing off for a solid five minutes. :laugh:
Breaking Bad S03 E09 "Kafkaesque"
Jesse is such a little bitch, lol.
Breaking Bad S03 E10 "Fly"
I have hard time believing I just watched fifty minutes' worth of two jackasses trying to kill a fly. :laugh: I'm very impressed with how it managed to parlay that into genuinely compelling drama by the end, and Pinkman was actually useful for once.
Breaking Bad S03 E11 "Abiquiu"
Another good episode. Saul Goodman was hilarious as usual, and I like what it's setting up for next episode.
Breaking Bad S03 E12 "Half Measure"

The pilot episode's on Netflix. It takes place during the liquor store shoot out from the first film. I thought it was a prequel series, but it looks like they're gonna be messing the canon of the original film.
In my opinion it should've been set somewhere between the third and first film.
It looked like a terrible fan film. What's worse is Rodriguez is the mastermind behind it.
Breaking Bad S03 E13 "Full Measure"
Damn, that was great. Bald Guy #3 got to be pretty badass early on, and the ending was f**king heart stopping. And I was gonna wait a day to start on Season 4. :laugh: How the f**k did you manage to stop there, NA? :D

That was easily one of the most intense situations yet seen on the show. between this episode and the gambit he pulled off in season three, Gus is now among my top TV villains. He was so damn creepy in this episode, even if I'd predicted what he was going to do fairly quickly.

Spectacular Spider-Man Episodes 1-3
Pretty good show so far. It's not BTAS levels of awesome or anything, but it's good. So many random thoughts came to me, including "Uh, Dr. Connors? Winter Soldier called, he wants his arm back!" :laugh:
So, I just polished off the first disc of Spectacular Spider-Man. Not bad, not bad. The Goblin arc was actually kind of awesome, even if I didn't fall for the red herring for a second. TASM 2 seems to be drawing from that a bit, I think. Other random thoughts:
-Must be kind of annoying for Peter that someone keeps shining Spider-Man themed spotlights on him once an episode. ;)
-"Midtown Drama Magnet." f**kin' magnets, how do they work?
-I like how Sandman and Rhino were just comic relief thugs who kept showing up for multiple episodes before getting their powers. It was a nice touch. Also, it was cool that they used Ultimate Rhino's name for what was basically the 616 version.
-I also kind of like this Norman Osborn. "You're in a no whining zone, Harry." :laugh:
Soul Eater- Episode 51
The whole final episode could just be renamed to Maka Albarn is a f**king
badass.Hypest ending I've seen in a long time. No bullshit, just pure standing the f**k up for your own beliefs to beat the shit out of the villain. Show got surprisingly dark too, over time.
That screaming. :-X :-X :-X :-X
Spoiler
I should probably read the manga seeing as the anime deviates from it and I doubt this is going to get the whole Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood treatment in the near future. :P
Space Dandy: I'm Never Remembering You, Baby
Content-wise, this isn't all that different from other episodes in the series. But the tone is so much... darker. This is partly because of the cruder, desaturated, charcoal-on-paper minimalist style, partly because of the weird tones in the music, partly because the humor is much more muted, partly because some of it is downright disturbing. The whole mind-control aspect feels invasive. Everything comes across as so much more ominous than it could have been. I dig it. I just don't know why.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica-Episodes 6-12
Spoiler
On a little side note I started rewatching a while ago but everything else got in the way so only now am I finishing it. :P
Or as I like to call it:
Tearing My f**king Heart Out With a Rusty Blade: The Anime™
I love this show, I'm just gonna leave it at that. Anybody who decries it as childish or girlish due to the artwork without knowing anything about the story, or the route it eventually takes are missing out on something great. On this second watch I especially noticed just how wonderful the animation is, especially during the last two episodes, it's downright
gorgeous. It's up there with a lot of wonderfully animated
films and for a 12 episode series that says a lot. Lord knows just how good the movie must look. :o
So, I finished up Season 1 of Spectacular Spider-Man. It turned out to be a very, very enjoyable show. The black suit/Venom arc was quite well done, and Keaton really let out his young Ocelot voice when doing the symbiote. Other random thoughts:
-As well handled as the black suit stuff was, I laughed my ass off when Peter's mental battle with the symbiote turned into an extended flashback that lifted scenes, shots, and dialogue from the Raimi films. They weren't even being subtle about it.
-This Gwen > Emma Stone. Just saiyan'.
-I'm a bit disappointed in Tombstone, since I was hoping that the "Big Man" would turn out to be Kingpin. Also, John Jameson went into space and hasn't turned into a werewolf once. What the hell.
-"You're the disease, they're the cure." No Peter, you are not Marion Cobretti. Stop stealing his lines.
-Uncle Ben solves everything. He's the new nanomachines.

Gonna try to get my friends together to start watching it this weekend. If that doesn't work, guess I'm moving forward on my own. Can't wait any longer :D
Game of Thronse S2E05-6 'The Ghost Of Harrenhal' and 'The Old Gods And The New'
The happenings in Winterfell are executed very well this season. And making Arya Tywin's cupbearer is definitely one of the best changes from the books in the show.
I just watched all of Rick and Morty and I'm not entirely sure I'm still sane.
Game of Thrones S2E07-10 'A Man Without Honor', 'The Prince Of Winterfell', 'Blackwater', and 'Valar Morghulis'
Fantastic way to end the season 8) Though I do have to say, the House of the Undying was much better in the book. It would have been hard to translate that on-screen without delving too much into spoiler territory, though.
And while on prophecies, it just dawned on my that the show never made mention of Daenerys' three betrayals.
Gonna continue with Season 3 today? ;D
Later tonight, if I have the time. I can't wait ;D
This week, Space Dandy does The Thing. It's weird.
Game of Thrones S3E01-2 'Valar Dohaeris' and 'Dark Wings, Dark Words'
Fantastic start to the third season; as great as seasons one and two were, these two episodes managed to raise the bar even higher. Very glad to see Jojen and Meera introduced into the show, and I am loving the expanded Margaery role.
If I have one minor complaint, it is only that I wish that
Spoiler
Stannis showed a bit more compassion to Davos before condemning him. Their bond was fascinating in the books, and I'd love to see that go a bit deeper in the show.
Oh, the opening scene with Sam was pretty great as well. Can't wait for his big moment later on.

Breaking Bad S04 E02 "Thirty-Eight Snub"
Finally getting back to this, and the episode was pretty good. It was kind of funny seeing a bunch of guys debate video games and speculate about uncut pizza. Also, the Roomba POV shot was pretty cool.
Just finished all of Breaking Bad.
Fourth season is a high point for television as a whole, in my opinion - utterly and constantly rivetting, inspired writing, characters you can root for, and tied together with the best original score I've ever heard in a TV show.
Fifth season, on the other hand, is unremittingly grim and difficult to watch. And for the first time in the series, it felt a little predictable, and slow rather than measured. It's still brilliantly made, just gets too dark for my liking. However, it all wraps up with a satisfying conclusion.
The body count on this show is enormous - not counting a certain disaster around the end of the second season, and with my memory being hazy, I tallied up 67 (looking it up online, the actual figure is 106, +167). That's got to be far more than the Sopranos offed, despite its longer running time.
Game of Thrones S3E03-4 'Walk Of Punishment' and 'And Now His Watch Has Ended'
Absolutely fantastic pair of episodes. I really love the expanded Theon story (Ramsay is one sick bastard... should I call him a bastard? I know he doesn't like that :D ). Olenna Tyrell is also really great. She's probably one of my favorite new additions to the cast this season. Varys and Littlefinger's scheming against each other is great as always. Also, Podrick's moment of glory was pretty hilarious :D That wasn't in the book, was it?
Now to get into some spoilers:
Spoiler
The ending of episode 3 was excellent. And the cut (heh) from Jaime getting his hand chopped off to 'The Bear and the Maiden Fair' in the credits was pretty awesome :D
Jeor Mormont's death was pretty sad. Very well done, though. Dany getting her Unsullied army was even better than I could have imagined!
I am extremely looking forward to Berric Dondarion vs the Hound next episode.
Oh, my dog tends to look at the TV whenever there are animals (usually dogs, but also horses and a few other animals) on screen. When Drogon started screaming and flying my dog looked pretty confused :D
Nice to hear that you are enjoying it so far.

Welp.. Kill la Kill is over.. time to dig into True Detective... :P
The Americans.
Game of Thrones S3E05-7 'Kissed By Fire', 'The Climb', and 'The Bear And The Maiden Fair'
Everything I've come to expect from this series and more. Season three is without a doubt the best in my mind; the pacing is perfect (season two, admittedly, felt a bit rushed in comparison), and most of the changes from the book are working perfectly in the context of the show (Gendry's new story is a great example of that). Theon's scenes remain some of the best, but they are so hard to watch. Alfie Allen did an absolutely stellar job here. Brienne and Jaime are also some of the biggest highlights of the season. That bath scene in particular was great. The opening duel at the beginning of 'Kissed By Fire' is one of the best in the show.
Kind of spoilers for something that comes later in the season:
Spoiler
Hearing the instrumental The Rains of Castamere playing at the end of 307 was chilling, knowing what's coming in a couple episodes...
All great episodes.

The only TV shows I ever watch are Portlandia and the Soup.
Once a week.
Other then that I DL things.
The last show I watched may have been Koutetsu Jeeg.
But I watch a little bit and then I save the rest.
Riki-Oh OVA was good enough.
Dallos OVA looks cool but I haven't finished it.
Tom Hanks (of all people), did a kinda cool Aeon Flux knockoff called Electric City.
The backgrounds are beautiful, but the character art is sad.
Its still kinda cool in a poor mans Aeon way.

The new episodes aren't the same without Steve-O hosting. Still got a good laugh out of the cactus maze challenge..

Space Dandy-Episode 13
QT has been my favorite character for a while. This episode only helped reinforce that.
True Detective
eps 1 and 2.
Rust and Marty are two interesting motherf**kers. Rust is probably the perfect character to wander around and investigate a vaguely lovecraftian universe... a depressive hallucinating, nihilist drunk f**k that is also smart as hell. (Yes King In Yellow is not a lovecraft creation.. but Lovecraft sure loved dropping references to him in his works.)
GOOOOD GOOOOOD BL GOOOD.

COSMOS ep 4. beautiful. very humbling and lovely episode.
Excellent series. Sagan would be quite proud of his friend, Tyson.
Sunday's Cosmos episode (#5) was very good, as the rest have been!
The Simpsons - Lisa tries to turn a young competitive eater while Bart gets stolen items from Snake (whose full name was finally revealed!) for getting him free. A solid episode 8.5/10
Family Guy - Peter and his friends have their booth at the Clam taken over and Stewie gets herpes from Brian. This episode had a crappy plot (2/10) but the fill-in segments were over the top great and kinda save it 7/10
Urusei Yatsura - Ten gets a cavity and it spreads to other people by the infectee biting other uninfected people. Mendou shows his true colors at the end of the episode, very well written as always! 9.5/10
Does the NCAA championship count? If so, I watched Kentucky suck for like 2 and a half hours.

Red Wedding spoilers:
Spoiler
Nothing particularly. I think I heard that Arya actually witnesses the body with Grey Wind's head on it in the show, so I'm looking forward to that.
I guess my biggest concern/question has to do with Robb's wife also dying. I know Jeyne lives in the book and may or may not be pregnant. I wonder if that will present any complications in the story down the line.
Spoiler
If it did I think George might have objected.
Game of Thrones S3E09-10 'The Rains of Castamere' and 'Mhysa'
Fantastic end to the season :'(
Spoiler
God, the Red Wedding was hard to watch. Especially the way they killed Talisa.
I am so happy that they finally let Arya do her coin trick. When I read A Clash of Kings I was a bit disappointed that that didn't make it into the show in season two. Glad they found some way to incorporate it a bit later.
If I have one complaint, it's just a stupid little aesthetic thing. I really wish that the gate that Bran and company had used to go beyond the Wall had a face on it like the one in the book. The whole Weirwood/Old Gods look and feel of the North and the Wall is one of my favorite things in the books.
I loved Dany's final moments as well. Really powerful stuff.
Again, a really fantastic ending. I cannot wait to jump into season four.

Talisa. Brutal, but not very shocking, at least to me. I knew/feared all along that she would be killed off and once she got pregnant, it was kind of a sealed deal. Fantastic performances from the cast though and Michelle Fairley especially.
On a more twisted-funny note...

Breaking Bad S04 E03 "Open House"
Definitely one of the better down time episodes of the series. It's nice to see that they finally picked up the kleptomania thing after dropping it for so long.
S04 E04 "Bullet Points"
This one was both funny, intense, and interesting. I quite liked how it set up the plot points that I'm assuming are going to carry over for the rest of the season. And that ending... f**k.
S04 E05 "Shotgun"
This was quite a good episode. It was funny and tense in equal measure on the Jesse and Mike side of things. I winced when Walt put his foot in his mouth at the end there. :-\
S04 E06 "Cornered"
Great episode overall. It was cool seeing Jesse be competent for once. And f**king hell, it's like the writers are trying their hardest to make me dislike Skyler.
True Detective Episode 1
This be the most captivating f**king damn show I have seen in a long f**king time. Holy shit, this is just too good.
Breaking Bad S04 E07 "Problem Dog"
Great episode. I liked seeing more of Jesse dealing with the ramifications of last season's finale, and it's cool the way Hank is entering the big picture again.

Band of Brothers Episode 7: "Breaking Point"
Been watching this miniseries inbetween studying for finals. I'd seen bits and pieces of it here and there on the History channel, but never gave it a proper watching before now. And aside from some kind of cringy pseudo-propaganda, it is good. Damned good. Watching these characters through all their trials and triumphs, seeing them get thrown into hell again and again, its captivating. The eponymous breaking point of this episode was incredibly hard to watch. Seeing these characters that I've grown to like and love get crushed mentally and physically like that, it's very powerful. Highly recommend giving this a watch, if you haven't already.
On a side note, holy shit, this miniseries has everyone in it. Not only does it have Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston (which I knew about already), but also Jamie Bamber, Neal McDonough, and Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy both. Not to mention scores of others that I recognize but can't name off the top of my head.
Anyways, yeah, give this a watch.
You should check out the Pacific when your done with Band of Brothers.
I might actually like the Pacific better as much as it hurts my Army genes to say, but the engagements are pretty tense and dat Snafu is my nigga.
Was planning on that.
Its excellent. I believe its taken from two memoirs and a biography. I was meaning to check them out sometime but never got around to it but didn't. Maybe because I'd seen the show.
I also have the book Band of Brothers around somewhere and never got finished reading it either.
I've heard Spielberg is making a third series about airmen. That's what finally prompted me to check out these ones.
That would be cool since they were a pivotal factor and their is very little media about them.

Using some recovery time to binge-watch the entire season. Very impressed, but honestly, HBO seems to be one of the only companies that understands if you let good writers loose to write real people, the greatness unfolds naturally.
People are so cray, the shit practically writes itself. It's an amazing show and I love the slow tone and the very, very subtle supernatural elements. It's the kind of tension built with a maturity and focus I haven't felt in damn years.
Sad that McConaughey isn't returning for Season 2 (and possibly not Harrelson,) but I hear each will be independent similar to American Horror Story. The characters are so strong and well-acted that to cast the same actors would have to strain them, and maybe whitewash the impact of their previous performances.
Anyway, good shit. Let the good writers through the gates and the shit will flow like the salmon of Capistrano.
Fox could learn a lot here.

Breaking Bad S05 E01 "Live Free or Die"
A great opening to the final season. The basic plot was actually rather amusing in its execution. f**king magnets, how do they work? :laugh:
Breaking Bad S05 E02 "Madrigal"
Yep, the show is keeping a steady streak of quality right about now. It may even break the tradition of 1-2 kind of boring episodes a season at this point.
Breaking Bad S05 E03 "Hazard Pay"
I'm liking how this seems to be setting up for the rest of the season. The new cooking scheme that Walt and Jesse have going is actually pretty clever and interesting to watch. Oh, and there was a bonding scene set to the two of them watching a Three Stooges short. That alone makes the episode awesome. :laugh:
Just got round to finishing Dark Angel.
I scribbled about the first season a few months ago...
Spoiler
Quote from: Vertigo on Nov 23, 2013, 08:47:55 PM
Just bought the Dark Angel season 1 boxed set, and am currently three episodes in.
In case you don't know, it's a James Cameron-created series starring 19-year-old Jessica Alba, from 2000. It's science fiction, set in a moderately dystopian 2019; she's an escaped military experiment of genetic manipulation and Spartan-like conditioning.
It bears a lot of Cameron hallmarks. Highly visionary, well-made and emotive, but prone to two-dimensional characters and some illogical interactions.
One of the most remarkable things about it now, is how prescient it was. It predicted massive recession, a society-altering terrorist attack, surveillance drones, a second war in Iraq, and hackers attempting to play moral watchdog on the government and big business. Obviously most of these elements are presented in exaggerated form, but I do wonder if psychic powers are the secret to Cameron's success.
Unfortunately it's let down by a sledgehammer approach to gender roles. This is obviously a show that's been made in the wake of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, with its arse-kicking heroine and feminist slant, but it takes the movement to an extreme - rarely missing the opportunity to beat you over the head with the knowledge that men are pigs (aside from the main love interest, and the occasional largely silent bodyguard). We're scum, and the default attitude towards us should be disdain. It makes sense for lead character Max, who's had a childhood traumatised and life ruined by military men - that's a central concept of the show, and it's fine. But it's a world view that's shared by her friends and coworkers, and reinforced by nearly every straight white man she meets. I'd accuse the show of misandry, but... it's primarily written by men.
Still. It makes for good watching. It feels strange coming back to this after so long, when Jessica Alba is now more commonly associated with fairly fluffy roles, but she is perfect in this role of prickly yet feminine killing machine. You don't see the joins in her performance at all. Good action, involving plot, and a brilliantly conceived universe on display.
Quote
The second season's been tough going, it is
not as good as the first. It loses its grounding in realism, and that prescient view of the future. Great characters are written out, others are introduced that in some cases seriously challenge plausibility, and in others are just annoying or useless. Existing supporting characters become an afterthought, right through to the end. There's some seriously dodgy writing, including the increasingly bullshit attempts at keeping the two romantic leads apart (she contracts a virus that's harmful only to him, preventing them from touching - seriously). And basically, it's a once-promising show that lost its way and couldn't decide whether it wanted to be Buffy or X-men.
Still, it's loaded with some decent actors, it's still very well made, and it's still gritty and involving storytelling. By the end it does pick up some serious pace and becomes pretty damn watchable. But in the end, there are a shit-ton of unresolved plot points, and so the ultimate legacy of the show remains Jessica Alba at her thermonuclear hottest.
Penny Dreadful Ep. 1
It was an alright episode. Definitely has me interested, although the ending is something of a pet peeve because I thought it was MUCH too early for

Another great episode. It managed to be a bit slower paced but still progressed the plot along nicely. It was awesome seeing Walt call Skyler out on her shit for once, and absolutely demolish her. Oh, and Betsy Brandt is still planty unf. :-*
Breaking Bad S05 E05 "Dead Freight"
f**king great. the whole setup was genuinely interesting, and the last ten minutes or so was incredibly intense. And that ending... f**k. :-\
Breaking Bad S05 E06 "Buyout"
Yep, this season is definitely keeping up a streak of one great episode after another.
Clannad Season one
Just kill me.
Fargo - episode 3
This show is quickly getting to
Breaking Bad writing status. Wow.
Spoiler
1. Lester is in deep shit. Very soon.
2. Molly is getting better (and seems to be the only police officer actually doing her job right...)
3. Sam Hess' wife just became ultra hotter and even more transparent. Also, a terrible parent :P
4. Malvo is becoming a "biblical disaster" for everyone in his path.
5. AK-s are ultra fun to shoot! :laugh:
Wow, really? :o I may have to seek this out.
It has tones of BB writing, obviously not as dark or drug related. A++ show

Attack on Titan - Episode 1
If you know me, you know I already enjoy the show despite it's various flaws, blah, blah people fight giant monsters that's good enough for me. I'm just gonna talk 'bout the dub.
Started off pretty crap with some pretty shit voice acting for characters who are currently children, but by the end it got really damn good. I can only see it improving as the show goes on, and the clips shown from later on when the characters are older definitely sounded waaaaay better, so I feel I needn't worry at all. :)
Fargo - Episode 4
This was a roller coaster ride episode, amazing writing this show has. Best episode so far!
Spoiler
I had a feeling the beginning of the episode was gonna have a theme to it near the end, my instincts were correct.
Malvo's name is discovered as he is coming out of questioning. His comment to the cop as he was leaving Duluth PD was great. Heck, the entire episode's scenes with him were fantastic!
Lester barely escapes his death, only to be reunited with his abductors at the end of the episode. This is
Breaking Bad feelings all over again...
Spoiler
Can't wait for another week to see what happens!!!
Breaking Bad S05 E07 "Say My Name"
f**king hell. Every episode just seems to top the previous one effortlessly. That ending. :o
Breaking Bad S05 E08 "Gliding Over All"
Okay, I was not expecting the show to take that turn, at all. ANd there was yet another excellent ending. I'd keep watching if I didn't have to get to sleep. :laugh:
Supernatural: Season 9
I'm actually impressed with the current season, new, interesting characters, different takes on mythical lore, particularly Cain from the Bible which was an interesting view. It's has made up for the ridiculously boring Leviathan seasons

Just got done watching that episode myself. Best episode of the season thus far. Thorton continues to own this role and steal each scene he's in. The interrogation scene in which he puts on the persona of the minister was superb. There's a lot of subtle things too, like when he took the cop's glasses before being questioned.
24 season 3. Episode something or other.
Dat Nina Myers. Her and the president's old wife are the most interesting characters.

I hear they kill nina off. Am upset.
There will be a great deal of "oh shit" before the sadface. Though personally I'm not a fan of 24 after the first season.

On a similar note, I went to the grocery store last week and seen a "Hess trucking" tractor trailer truck and immediately thought of the show. I was going to take a picture but I didn't have the camera.

Attack On Titan-Episode 2
Waaaaaay better than the first episode dubbing wise. Everybody for the most part sounds like they've gotten used to their roles and even the background characters are starting to sound much better. However, there's a reason I said for the most part and this is because the only character whose voice still seems off to me is Eren, and this is the main character damn it! :P
Penny Dreadful Episode 2
Luckily they had the next episode on demand, so obviously I had to watch it. You finally learn more about what sort of great evil is hidden in the shadows (all dealing with dem Egypt scribbles). Basically the end of the world has been foretold or whatever. Eva Green puts on a f**king performance that goes on forever, and don't think of it as something bad, it was cray awesome as shiz. Billie Piper finally shows up, so that's cool.
That f**king ending though.
Spoiler
Last week I said it was too early for Victor Frankenstein to, what looked like an accident, bring back someone from the dead. I thought since he was young, that maybe this was the very first time he did it, and then later on in life he tries to replicate it, and THEN we would have our Monster we all know and love.
f**kING NOPE, the ending has Frankenstein's Monster show up at the end and confronting his "father" while tearing in half the accidental zomboid from the previous episode.
Fargo - Episode 5: The Six Ungraspables
All I can say is this:
Breaking Bad, you officially have
serious competition. (This coming from someone who watched BB from the very beginning every Sunday on AMC and painstakingly waiting for new seasons)
Spoiler
Malvo is one dark, DARK person. People be coming after him real soon. Gus going on the computer searching for him was hilarious! Then the near end with Malvo talking to the community watch guy was un-nerving as fvck!
So many close calls in this episode too, like Lester's clothes washer's contents almost found out... I was actually nervous during that part!
Just watched it myself. If Billy Bob doesn't get nominated for an award, I'll be sad. The scene between him and the community guy was fantastic. The writing is just superb. His dialogue has a certain weight to it.
BBT deserves AT LEAST a nomination. Even more fitting is a victory.

Breaking Bad S05 E09 "Blood Money"
Holy f**king shit. This episode got incredibly tense, and that final scene was amazing.
Breaking Bad S05 E10 "Buried"
Damn, things are really moving into place for the finale, it would seem. It feels like one push and the whole thing will tumble.
Breaking Bad S05 E11 "Confessions"
The whole episode was tense as hell, and, in a show where shit gets real on a regular basis, shit got f**king real at the end there. This season just keeps getting better.
Just watched last weeks episode of Game of Thrones and it was brilliant. Tyrion's trail was amazing – dat Dinklage.
The last tv show I watched was The Boondocks lol.

The last 20 minutes were just... unbelievable. All the deaths, the set-ups (Malvo AND Lester), the thoughts of the future, the FISH! My goodness, why are we the only two people here who watch this show??? It IS as good as Breaking Bad, if not, dead even. Malvo certainly is far ahead of everyone else, after the shoot out I was beginning to think he is a demon. "I would be humilated if you didn't try (to shoot the shotgun)"

Simple summary: I liked it. 9/10
Grimm and Hannibal.
The first episode of Terra Nova. Bit shit, but Stephen Lang will keep me interested a little while longer.
I'd say don't waste your time on much more, it's total trash. Lowly rip-off of LOST, Battlestar Galactica, and Jurassic Park.

I bought the series and only made it like two episdoes before I quit.
I did watch the season finale of The Americans. Such win.
Supernatural Season 9 Finale....

Breaking Bad S05 E12 "Rabid Dog"
Well, things are definitely spiraling out of control at this point. The episode made great use of anachronic order.
Because it is memorial day weekend, marathon of band of brothers........maybe start the Pacific later today.
Breaking Bad S05 E13 "To'hajiilee"
Holy shit, this couldn't have gotten any more intense. That being said, looking back at the last two episodes, I would have done them a bit differently. They're both great, though.
Breaking Bad S05 E14 "Ozymandias"
That was one of the dramatically strongest episodes of the series. Great from start to finish, even if some of the family stuff was slightly grating.
Breaking Bad S05 E15 "Granite State"
Well, things are certainly getting interesting... no, f**k that, they already were. Just one episode left. 8)
Breaking Bad S05 E16 "Felina"

Holy shit. That was about as perfect as it possibly could have been.
First six episodes of Lost. My friends and I didn't get to finish the series last summer (we made it about five and a half seasons in) so we're starting fresh. God, I had forgotten how much I love this show. Going to be great to actually be able to finish it this time.

Fargo - Who Shaves the Barber?
Goddamn this one was good. Not nearly as good as last weeks episode but still brilliant.
Best scene of the episode?
Spoiler
Malvo walking into the building with an assault rifle and taking out the mob syndicate as the camera follows his movements outside the building. You don't see the actual shooting -- it's left to the imagination and it's a clever f**king scene too.
Oh and the two FBI guys sitting outside that are completely oblivious to what's going on. :laugh:

The meeting of Malvo and his boss was really good too, "There are two phones, one calls the ambulance, the other calls the hertz. Which one am I going to pick up?" :laugh:
The sex scene with Lester and Miss Hoss was disturbing and entertaining at once, Lester has gone mad with power!
The mob building blowout scene was genius, Malvo just firing away and asking questions along the way to progress his rampage. The FBI guys were Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peel btw. I was laughing when I noticed it was them, I knew they were going to say/do something hilarious!
That was another intense ep, more on the reflective side than responsive side. The ending with Molly was kinda sad and had me ask out loud (literally): "What if you are right and they are wrong?"
I love Bob's Burgers so much.
There hasn't been a show where I've loved every character in it in a long time. But this is one of those shows.

The latest bad guy scheme is creating these cute furry pets called Chavelas that drain the energy and drive out of their owners. Usagi wants her brother to start liking Luna but to no avail as he now gets one of the Chavela. A decent ep 8/10

I just watched the whole thing and it was spectacular. The story is centered around Gillian Anderson's character, Stella Gibson, tracking a serial killer in Belfast. I like the setting. It's nice with a show like this that doesn't take place in the US. The theme of the show, you could say, is men's violence against women, which shows in more ways than just the killings. Gillian Anderson does an excellent job, as does Jamie Dornan as Paul Spector, the killer. The realism and sense of detail in this show is impressive. The music is subtle, but nice. The supporting cast is very good as well (I really like Niamh McGrady) and if you're watching Game of Thrones, you're bound to find some familiar faces in here as well (Barristan and Roose Bolton).
The season ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm very excited for Season 2.
Urusei Yatsura
Been watching a good bit again, most recent ep being when Ryuu asks Ran out to study her movements and characteristics bc Ran is so feminine (when in reality Ran is insane and pure evil :P ). Ran doesn't know Ryuu is a girl (since her dad is a complete oblivious moron and dresses her as a man with a man's haircut and tapes her boobs so they aren't popping out) and Lum tells her that Ryuu is a woman and Ran refuses to believe her (again, bc Ran is literally insane and evil). One of the top 20 epsiodes in the series for sure 10/10
Also watched the Kings beat the Blackhawks in Game 7 in overtime to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. Seems like the playoffs this year are really based on streaks, so I hope the Kings beatdown the Rangers to get their second cup in 3 years...

Moving away from the story for a second, some the cinematography in this show is just gorgeous. I really love those "bottom up" shots from inside various objects (not sure exactly what to call them, but I'm sure you know what I mean), and the time lapse stuff is really great as well. Oh, and the song selections... I don't think the songs could be any more perfect if they tried.

The ending of the episode of him becoming salesman of the year was proof of his evovling. Then the final scene of him looking over at the far table... Malvo has something up his sleeve. Molly with Gus was nice (looks like Gus got his dream job), apparently she will not let the case go. Next week's preview looks juicy!

The opening scene in episode 6 where they're silently deconstructing the dirtbike and digging Drew Sharp's body out of the dirt in the back of the truck is one of my favorite scenes in the show. The score is so minimal and eerie and the looks on all of their faces says everything. Especially Mike's when they start taking the body out of the trunk; he just knows that he should have never associated with these people.

Watched the first 7 episodes of Breaking Bad.
Fantastic show but it is a little shaky in the beginning and I have minor gripes with the existence of certain scenes in otherwise amazing episodes. I wouldn't say it's the best series but it's certainly one of the best. And the episodes are getting progressively better so that's a good sign. I really enjoy all the characters apart from Hank (which I'm sure is intentional).

Spoiler
When Todd shot that kid I wanted to say that Walt was in over his head, but damn it I can't even say that. :( Walt certainly didn't expect that or want it to happen, but it's not like he's above risking the lives of children to get what he wants. I can't believe how much he has evolved since the beginning of the series. It has been a fantastic, gut-wrenching viewing experience up to this point, and I can't wait to finish it up.
And I want to watch Better Call Saul now if only to see more Mike :'(

Watched the first 7 episodes of Breaking Bad.
Fantastic show but it is a little shaky in the beginning and I have minor gripes with the existence of certain scenes in otherwise amazing episodes. I wouldn't say it's the best series but it's certainly one of the best. And the episodes are getting progressively better so that's a good sign. I really enjoy all the characters apart from Hank (which I'm sure is intentional).
I think I speak for everyone when I say it only gets better as it goes on. The first season is an excellent introduction to the series and its characters and lays the foundation extremely well, but each season builds on it in great ways that just make it a better show each time.
I liked Hank right from the beginning, but as the show progresses he definitely becomes less of the intended walking cliché that he is in season one and comes into his own. He has some great material coming up pretty soon in season two, actually.
You don't speak for me Nighty, I found season 5 quite a tough watch. :P
4's definitely a highlight of TV drama as a whole, though.

Yep, I'll agree with this. Each season steadily gets better and better. Season 1 is the weakest largely because it's all set up and got cut short by the writer's strike. Thatbeing said, the reduced episode count probably helped in the long run.

The original plan was to kill off Pinkman in the Season 1 finale. Can't say i would have liked that.
QuoteI liked Hank right from the beginning, but as the show progresses he definitely becomes less of the intended walking cliché that he is in season one and comes into his own. He has some great material coming up pretty soon in season two, actually.
Yep. Hank's character gets deconstructed to hell and back over the next couple of seasons.
Breaking Bad "Blood Money"
"I suggest you tread lightly..."
The first 2 seasons of the IT Crowd. And by 2 seasons, I mean 12 episodes.
It's a great show but also the kind of show you can complete in a day or two. Naturally it only lasted 4 seasons (24 episodes) while a sitcom like The Big Bang Theory has completed its seventh season and averages around 24 episodes a season. I know they're from 2 different countries but it's still unfortunate. I guess I'll soon see if the last 2 seasons were the show's downfall.

It just keeps getting better, actually. Last couple of years are some of the funniest TV I've ever seen.
I still watch The Big Bang Theory out of habit but I can't remember the last time I laughed watching that show.
There's probably something to be said for having a small-scale, flexible-schedule approach like IT Crowd's, as opposed to Big Bang Theory's sprawling twenty-odd episode seasons.
It's hard to stay fresh, and to plan properly, with such a continual grind with no end in sight. I think the traditional American broadcasting schedule has ruined a lot of good shows.
3rd Rock from the Sun wrapped up really nicely and while it was still maintaining a high level of quality. That's one show that went on for 6 seasons and was consistently good.
But when some shows get great ratings and, like you said, have no end in sight - that often means the show will experience a significant drop in quality. It also depends on the team of writers involved.

I cherry picked from season 2 and 3. The new episode from last night, holy shit >_>
The only shows I make a point of watching are Game Of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Sherlock these days - although I find TWD is getting more and more bland with each season. And since GoT ends for the year this Sunday, there's not alot on that interests me - but I plan to give Constantine a look when it premieres in October.

Breaking Bad Season Two
Phoenix
ABQ
I was wondering where they were going with those opening scenes, projecting some unforeseen event in the future at the White residence. What significance did the stuffed animal have? Who were the two dead folks in the driveway? Those were some of the questions I had, and it looks like they were answered. What I liked about it, was how it was all connected in some way. If Jesse and his girlfriend didn't get strung out on heroine those two planes probably wouldn't have collided. It's amazing how the death of one person resulted in a much larger catastrophe. Butterfly effect.
I'll be starting Season Three very shortly.
And it just gets crazier from there.
I kept chuckling throughout the last several episodes because f**king Q from TNG showed as Jane's Dad. :laugh:

The most unbelieve events just went down. Malvo is truly one of TV's most dangerous villians ever. Everything he did in this episode (and season) was downright frightening and so slick. After Lester looked out his window and the camera made it look like a target was on the FBI car, you just knew their end was gonna be soon. Lester got what was coming to him, Molly finally just gave up on trying to help Lester and knew his fate was coming soon. AND THAT BEARTRAP! YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Gus finally redeemed himself in the end. I kinda guessed that was coming too.

Breaking Bad Season Three
Abiquiu
Half Measures
Full Measure
Holy shit. That's one way to end the season. First off, now I see where NA was coming from with Mike. I loved the scene in which he walks into the warehouse and takes everyone out with a silencer. I had a feeling this guy was dangerous and hell if that's a way to show it. Also I am fascinated with the evolution of Walter White. He's becoming something dangerous here. The scene where he saved Jesse's life and gunned down the dealer in cold blood was brutal, and then we have him orchestrating Gail's death. Goddamn this show is firing on all cylinders at the moment. Loving every moment of it.
That last shot...literally.
'Fly' is the next thing ever. Can't express enough how much I love that episode.

Oh boy what a great start to the fourth season. I can already feel the tension in the air. This is gonna be a good one, that's for sure. I had to laugh when Walt bought the gun off Bobby from Supernatural :laugh:.
I loved the scene when he put on the hat and was approaching Gus' house and got the phone call. The tension was through the roof. Gus has eyes everywhere. Also I can't stand Marie. The less I see of her, the better. Her crazy kleptomania at those open houses didn't do me any favors. I kinda had to just roll my eyes and get through it.

And with that, it's done. This was probably the most tense and high stakes season to date. I loved every goddamn minute of it. Walter continues to evolve. Jesse continues to grow as a character.

Don't know what to think about this, has potential being AMC, Lee Pace pisses me off, Scoot McNairy is great as usual, Mackenzie Davis is not bad, it has a great soundtrack being set in the 80's and all .

The entire season feels like one long f**king pilot. The best thing about it is that they are taking it slow (although too slow if you ask some), but they certainly deliver on whatever it is they're doing in any one episode. Eva Green is f**king killing it on this show. She has at least two episodes that are basically focused on her, and she's just the damn best.

The characterizations of these literary figures are generally very good, even if their stories are altered more or less drastic fashion.

And that f**king ending of Episode 4... did not see that coming. That will be Cvalda's favorite part if she ever watches this. :laugh: Oh, and I fanboy'd out when Victor Frankenstein and Van Helsing were doing science-y stuff together. 8)
And I never would have made this connection before, but let him age a few years and Josh Harnett would make for a pretty good Booker DeWitt. :)

The characterizations of these literary figures are generally very good, even if their stories are altered more or less drastic fashion.

Cvalda definitely needs to see this lol. I've been trying to sell her on all the Eva Green madness on this show. Hopefully it's been working.
Mad Men S7E05 "The Runaways"
Oh, man, that was a great ending. Season's starting to really pick up.
As soon as I finish Breaking Bad I'll be diving into the fifth and sixth season of Mad Men. A little behind on that show and since it's reached its final season, time to catch up.
Just finished watching a few episode of the Big Ban Theory. Does anyone watch that show?

You know the sad thing is, my Dad made me see the VERY LAST episode of the final season when it first premiered on tv. I didn't know it was the last episode but he still made me sit down and watch it. It spoiled everything for me :o
Your dad is a f**king asshole.
Luckily, that show wasn't really built around a big reveal in the end. It's pretty clear how things will go down before they happen, just the specifics are up in the air.
Still, though, that really sucks.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Part I: "Return to the Circus"
The 1979 miniseries is off to a great start. Alec Guinness embodies George Smiley to a tee; not sure which performance I'm liking more, his or Gary Oldman's. He seems utterly and completely harmless, a bit of a wuss and a pushover... and then the final scene happens, he slips on his glasses, skeletal shadows hide his eyes, and his voice sends icy fingers up your spine.
I didn't know there was a TV series. Might give that one a shot myself. :)
It's quite good, so far at least.
My grandparents had been constantly recommending it to me since the movie came out; finally decided to give it a go.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Part VII: "Flushing Out the Mole"
And with that, the miniseries is finished. Truly a remarkable piece of television; greatly directed and with a stellar cast. Now, there's inevitably a comparison to be drawn with the 2011 film, but I find the two hard to compare, namely for the obvious reasons concerning the different mediums. On the whole, I think I slightly preferred the movie, but only just. I believe it nailed the casting a bit better (especially with Bill Haydon), though that's not to say the series didn't do better with a few characters.
Really, though, a great work. Highly recommend this.

Penny Dreadful S1E5: "Closer Than Sisters"
This show continues to be phenomenal. Dark and moody, positively oozing with atmosphere. I love the slow approach it's taking with the story. Things are unfolding with precision and care, and it is wonderful to behold. The characters and their relationships are fantastic. Gah, very glad I've started watching this.
The Legend of Korra - Season 1My second time watching this and it's just as good as the first time. Animation and music are beautiful, the story is good and comes with a group of rich and colourful character that I truly love. Well, perhaps with the exception of Mako, who I honestly find a bit dull. The voice acting is superb, especially J. K. Simmons who manage to become Tenzin entirely. Calm and patient isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of him.
Favorite moments in Season 1 would be...
Spoiler
The ending to Tarrlok's and Amon's story, as well as Korra entering the avatar state and regaining her powers.
As with many other things, it was someone on the Galaxy that got me into this. Or, to be more precise, it was back when Sweeper had this as his signature that the show caught my curiosity.

I just finished watching
The Legend of Korra - Season 2. You know, this season has been getting a lot of crap, but now that I've finally watched the whole thing from beginning to end, and not just bits and pieces of it, I don't understand why. It's as good as the previous season, in my opinion. The mythology behind the avatar and everything related to the spirit world has been very interesting to watch, not to mention beautifully animated. The new additions to the cast have been excellent as well. Varrick always manage to bring a smile to my lips and the twins are delightfully eerie.
The two episodes dealing with the first avatar, Wan, were great and the shift in animation was very welcome. Not that I mind the regular style of animation, but for these two episodes, this new style fit perfectly.
Also, the pro-bending commentator narrating Bolin's fight against the water benders was gold. :laugh:
wife tried to get me to watch American Horror Story..... what a boring show. To me at least.

You're heading down a journey I took a year and a half ago.
You shall have fun, at the very least.
I made it halfway through season five last summer and was absolutely loving it, but things kinda fell apart and I never got to finish. I figured with a show where every little detail is important like this, I'd be better served just starting over again from the beginning rather than picking up where I left off.
That's a fine way to do it.
Homeland season 3.
I actually like this season pretty good. More about the spycraft and less about Brody/Matheson's romance. Bunch of peripheral characters in the first two season getting more play this season which makes things more interesting.
Just finished LOST season two.
Hand of God
Pilot
Ron Perlman plays Judge Pernell Harris, who suffers a mental breakdown after his son lands in a coma after trying to commit suicide (due to being forced to watch his wife being raped). Harris becomes a born again Christian after coming into contact with an organisation known as the Hand of God. Receiving what he believes to be visions from God, Harris sets out to bring the people behind the rape to justice, while the people around him try to deal what they think is his mental illness.
So far it's really good. There is a strong cast (Ron Perlman, Dana Delany, Andre Royo, Garret Dillahunt, Alona Tal) and the story is very intriguing. At a certain point I was ready to write off some of the lead characters as unredeemable, but then something happened that made me change my mind.
Sounds intriguing...
LOST S3E08 "Flashes Before Your Eyes"
This was one of my absolute favorites when I started watching the show last summer, and it is just as good now. What an unbelievably fantastic hour of television.
More of Breaking Bad (season 3) last night. How Hank didn't outright get fired for the assult on Jesse still baffles me.
Married... With Children - Bundy BBQ
As Labor Day tradition ensues, I had to watch this episode. Al celebrates Labor Day with the family and backyard BBQ in which he makes his famous Bundy burgers. Peg accidently spills the ashes from the grill and sends the kids to find them in the nieghbors houses (since they are the only family home on Labor Day on the block). Steve and Marcy come over to join and the real interesting part of the episode begins. Classic Levitt/Moye writing at its pinnacle!
10/10
LOST Season Three
Fantastic ending to the season. All the big punches hit just as hard this time as they did when I first watched it.
Avatar: The Last Airbender - Book One: Water
The Boy in the Iceberg
The Avatar Returns
The Southern Air Temple
The Warriors of Kyoshi
The King of Omashu
So far it's pretty good and I really like the characters. It hasn't reached Korra quality yet, in my opinion, but I'm sure it's getting there.
Just gave the thirteen short LOST: Missing Pieces webisodes a watch (in glorious YouTube 240-480p!). These were pretty cool, actually. Some of them, like the Hurley/Frogurt one, were kind of pointless, but there were also a few that had some really great character moments and some little bits that slightly expanded some of the mythology of the show. The episodes that featured Juliet and the very last one were among the best, and the one with Jin on the golf course was just hilarious. :D

Not spoiling anything, but he got one of the best lines in season five.
Talk about a guy that literally looks dead behind the eyes.
Sky has every episode of
Lost available for free HD download without adverts, so I've been gorging myself on the show like a tiger shark in a pool full of car number plates.
Currently up to 3/4s of the way through season 2. Thoughts:
-The show is
gorgeous in HD. Spectacular views, high contrast and high saturation camerawork.
-Sound design is intelligently thought out, and combined with the music, the soundscape adds a
huge amount to the show. By turns nerve-jangling and moving in a way that just wouldn't exist if the show relied on the writing alone.
-It's a totally different show when you re-watch it. Some elements (such as the Others) lose their fear-factor entirely, but there's a lot more intrigue in terms of foreshadowing, and little references to events and concepts that don't pop up until later. I'd originally thought the writers of Lost just made shit up as they went along - now I'm wondering how much they had planned in advance, because it's clearly a lot more than I'd realised.
-When you're watching it without advert breaks or disc changes, you can fly through the show, making the pace seem much more rapid than it did on the original TV broadcast. With that said, season 2 still feels fairly glacial - I think the problem is that it's lacking in motivation. Season 1 had a series of goal-focused arcs, leaving you needing to see what would happen next - this is rarely the case now. The problem is compounded by several episodes showing the same events from multiple perspectives, or not advancing the story or characters in a meaningful way.
-The use of flashbacks to explore the characters has also become unwelcome - although it's still genuinely revealing significant details about the characters (which I remember it not doing later on), by this second season it feels like we have a good
enough understanding of the characters, and spending so much time to convey bite-size nuggets of backstory adds to the feeling of slowness.
Spoiler
-Really feels like they've dropped the ball on a few elements. The Others were initially conveyed in a terrifying manner - Ethan's post-unmasking interactions in the first season were all ultra-malevolent and bizarrely portrayed, the mysterious column of smoke before Aaron's abduction, the radar blip detected by the raft, the revelation that most of the tail-end survivors had been wiped out by the Others, that sight of them slipping silently barefooted through the jungle as Jin and Eko look on, and having them closely connected to the whispers in the jungle.
Really, these were people who needed to be de-humanised as much as possible. They were just as monstrous as the monster, and set you on edge. However, there's an increasing process of humanisation starting this season which stops them being scary, and it feels like something's been lost. Apologies for the punning.
-The smoke monster's big reveal happened midway through this season, and I think it should have been more spectacular. It looks pretty small in this initial scene, not nearly powerful enough to cause the devastation that tends to accompany it. I don't have a problem with the monster being a cloud of smoke - just that maybe it needed to be a bigger cloud of smoke. Can't remember if later sights of it are more impressive...
-Very dispiriting knowing how many of these characters are going to be killed off. I know Eko was written out because the actor didn't like life in Hawaii (presenting a MASSIVE loss to the show), and I think Boone's death had been planned for story reasons. Charlie's death felt natural to the story, too. But does anybody know why Shannon, Michael, Ana-Lucia, Claire and Libby were written out?
Seems like such a waste of time getting to know these people only to know it's going to be meaningless in the long run.

Just watched the first four myself. Flower Dress is my next one. :D Probably gonna marathon through a bunch of 'em tonight.
Disc one doesn't have a bonus feature section on the menu, though, so I'm assuming there are no commentary tracks for any of the first five episodes? Couldn't find anything in settings.

Well, strictly speaking a lot of these characters weren't 'written out'. They just 'died' at certain intervals to move the plot along and to offer opportunities for the main characters to evolve, react etc. But in LOST - just because you're dead, it doesn't mean you're not coming back in one way or the other in future episodes. ;)

S5 ends on a strong and very emotional note. Prepare your tear ducts.
S6 starts out a bit shitty imo but fear not - the writers got their shit together in the last half, as if they suddenly remembered what characters we care about and that the show is about to end for good. :)

Great bunch of episodes. Well, maybe not the one with the giant weather machine but the last two were great. Paxton made his debut as Garret and he's awesome. I really liked that episode.
Tracks was one of my favorite episodes. I liked the nonlinear story. Not to mention May in that catsuit. ;D

Spoiler
-Very dispiriting knowing how many of these characters are going to be killed off. I know Eko was written out because the actor didn't like life in Hawaii (presenting a MASSIVE loss to the show), and I think Boone's death had been planned for story reasons. Charlie's death felt natural to the story, too. But does anybody know why Shannon, Michael, Ana-Lucia, Claire and Libby were written out?
Seems like such a waste of time getting to know these people only to know it's going to be meaningless in the long run.
Spoiler
Well, strictly speaking a lot of these characters weren't 'written out'. They just 'died' at certain intervals to move the plot along and to offer opportunities for the main characters to evolve, react etc. But in LOST - just because you're dead, it doesn't mean you're not coming back in one way or the other in future episodes. ;)
Lost spoilers
Eko's barely ever mentioned after he died, and though they did try to bring the actor back later, that plan fell through.
I'm just up to that point in Lost right now (early season 3). It does change things a lot when you're watching episodes back to back, rather than week by week over a period of years. When these characters died, back in the day, it felt like every minute you'd spent getting to know the intricacies of their backstory was a waste of time - time that you'd much rather was spent advancing the story. It was hugely frustrating.
However, back-to-back watching reveals that we only spent a tiny percentage of the show's overall running time delving into these characters, and it feels natural to the pace of the show. Eko gets three episodes including his death, Shannon and Boone just got one each. In 20+ episode seasons, it's a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, these deaths generally have a point that needed to be made. Eko's death shows what the smoke monster is really after - judging the survivors to find out who's worthy. His whole character aligns perfectly to making this point, and Mr Eko as a whole is basically one strand of that particular story arc.
LOST Season Four
EDIT: Vertigo and Eva, how late in the show are the spoilers you're discussing above? I'm hesitant to click on the tags. :D
Vertigo is early Season 3, it says. No spoilers beyond Season 4, as far as I can see.
Yup, nothing that'll bother you at your stage. The spoiler tags are basically there for web users of ten years from now, who were too young to see the show when it aired, and somehow came up with this thread on their Gogle search (future Google will decide that cutting one of their letters will decrease search times by 1/6th) to find out why their dad calls their mum Freckles.

:D
I started watching the show with friends last summer. We made it midway through season 5 and I was absolutely loving it. Unfortunately, summer ended, school started, and we just weren't able to get together as frequently to finish up the show, so it just kind of fell through after that point. We tried again this summer, made it through most of season one, and then like last year the plans fell through.
I got Netflix a month ago and, immediately after, decided I'd be better off just watching the show myself. So hear I am. I started over (yet again!), watching the show at my own pace, and just finished season four tonight. I have to say, watching the episodes back to back to back like this seems like the absolute best format for a show like this. I'm sure it was great (or frustrating, depending on the person) letting the mysteries stir week after week for months at a time while the show was on air, but marathoning through it like this gives the show a really great pace to it while still allowing all of the mysteries and revelations to really sink in.
There is so much to the show that I am picking up on this time that makes me so glad I started from the beginning again rather than just jump into the middle of season five where I left off. There are so many little details early on in the series that, like you said, make some of the events in the latter seasons feel much more like natural extensions from where the show began. There are obviously certain things that were altered for one reason or another without a definite plan in mind (Walt, for example), but the broad strokes for a lot of the really heavy mythology seems to have been set up from the beginning. And on the flipside, a lot of later events are giving whole new meanings to earlier events in the series. Both the emotional beats (especially a lot of the events in season four, which brought tears to my eyes even on this second viewing) and the heavy mythology really seem to be benefiting from this rewatch.
I feel like I'm rambling without much of a point, but I that's all I'm really going to be able to do for now, until I finally finish the show. The puzzle pieces are scattered all over in my head right now, and while I'm beginning to piece them together with what I learned from what I've rewatched and what I remember from the first seven episodes of season 5 (I saw up to 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham'), I definitely don't have all of the information just yet. Hope what I said at least kind of makes sense.
I enjoyed that post. :thumbsup:

Its really starting to pick up now. Garret has gone full bad guy and he is gleefully fun to watch. Paxton makes the character work, as a villain more so than when he was a good guy. Also seeing Sif show up was unexpected and cool. Every now and then its nice when the show pulls in a top tier character (Hill and Fury previously) -- Oh and I wasn't really feeling the whole Deathlok thing. But the more he becomes cybernetic and uses his powers, the more I am liking it. I just wasn't seeing it at first. But now that its coming together, yeah it works!
I liked it when we got to see what is under the skin on Deathlok.
Just a couple of more episodes to go now. Will you be finishing it today?

Fact or fiction? I always imagined Gus as a rich family's kid who got into trouble and eventually became an educated mastermind by college. From there he met the other guy in the slums and decided to help him by making him his cook.

Just a theory. The whole bit about the guy knowing who Gus is and the line about "this isn't chile!" suggests that Gus was a soldier in the corrupt regime that ended in 1988 and Gus just managed to get the hell out of there right as Pinochet was overthrown. One of the reasons he isn't outright killed is probably due to the fact that some of the military mofos stayed after the regime was kicked the f**k out, and I believe Gus still has connections to those guys in some capacity.

Young Justice Season 2.
Damn good tv show for kids (and adults!). Like Kill la Kill, every single 20 minute ish episode packed tons of character, plot and action... with ease. Some truly interesting plot twists here and there. Each season told a single, huge story, with tons of mini story arcs, with good character arcs. Solid stuff.
Produced by Paul Dini, who used to work for the (now classic) old Batman animated tv show we 90's kids loved.
Cant believe it was canceled simply because it had more girl fans than boys... why? because the girl fans dont buy the "toys". :P UGH.
At least we got 2 very good seasons out of it. Cant complain.
It also burst open the door to the entire DC Animated Universe.

Unfortunately I did. I saw a leaked photo from season two of Coulson behind the desk and the caption said something to the effect of Director Coulson. Personally I love the idea. With season two though, I wonder if he's going to be in an arm chair position giving orders or actually go into the field with the rest of the team. I am curious to see what's going to become of Ward too. Since he is also going to be in season two.

I'm loving this show so much. In retrospect, it only makes The Legend of Korra so much better, now that I can put a face to a familiar name or see some of these characters in their prime. But, and I might be lynched for this, I think Aang taking care of the Fire Nation fleet was better done in the live action film.
I finished Arrow Season Two so now I am caught up on that. I also started Hannibal Season Two last night and two episodes in. It's bizarre, sexy and dangerous. There's an uneasy elegance to the show.

LOST season five up to 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham'
And with that, I'm finally caught up to where I left off last summer. Talk about one hell of a cliffhanger to sit on for the better part of a year, although I am extremely happy with my choice to start the show over from the beginning. There's no way I would have been able to just jump back in without that huge refresher. Too many important details would have slipped right by me.
These first seven episodes of season five have been truly fantastic. This is without a doubt the weirdest the show has been to this point, but LOST is at its best when it gets weird. At this stage in the game the narrative (and, even more so, the structure of the narrative) is extremely complex and there are so many ways that the show could have collapsed under all of this added weight, but it has managed to masterfully handle this material and one-up itself with just about every episode.
When I next sit down to watch another episode, I will finally be venturing out into uncharted territory. I willing to go just about anywhere this show is willing to take me.

LOST S5E08-9 'LaFleur' and 'Namaste'
This show has one hell of a way of reinventing itself every so often, and has has been the case with all of the previous game-changing events it seems to have hit the nail right on the head once again.
Spoiler
I'm wondering why Sun (and perhaps Ben and Frank) didn't travel through time like the rest of the Oceanic Six, but that's LOST for ya. Curious about where Faraday went as well, since he's not with the group. I know he has to reconnect at some point, since he's seen during the discovery of the wheel underneath the Orchid in the season premiere. I'm finding the whole treatment of the Dharma Initiative in these last two post-time traveling island episodes to be absolutely fascinating. Never would have thought that Sawyer and co. would wind up as part of the Initiative, but I'm really enjoying seeing them in their new roles.
But what happened to Rose and Bernard when all of this started going down? :D
Oh, and one more thing:

LOST S5E10 'He's Our You'
Well then... that's going to have some pretty drastic repercussions.
Breaking Bad - Face Off
My favorite episode of the series; pure action, dark humor, insane twists and an untouchable ending (well, except for the series finale).
infinity/10
LOST S5E11-12 'Whatever Happened, Happened' and 'Dead is Dead'
This show... :o
Spoiler
Ben, you are a truly fantastic character. A despicable human being that I just cannot help but feel for, despite all of the absolutely terrible things you have done. I thought he was going to kill Penny for a second there. :'(
Ben's "judgement" scene in 'Dead is Dead' was fantastic. Without directly saying anything it shined a lot of light on what the "smoke monster" is. Or, at least, what its purpose is. It's always been obvious that it was the monster playing various roles on the island (Christian, Mr. Eko's brother, etc.) but seeing this kind of direct interaction was really something else.
is at its best when it gets weird, that's something I always say. But this season, just... so far it has really been something else. An almost perfect weave of intricately well-crafted mythology anchored down by genuine, hard hitting emotion. The characters have never been better, the story has never been better, and it looks like everything is starting to unravel and begin to reveal itself (though I'm certainly not expecting
all the answers) as I steadily approach the final season.
New episode of Red vs. Blue! Hooray!
LOST S5E13-15 'Some Like It Hoth,' 'The Variable,' and 'Follow The Leader'
Another excellent string of episodes that seems to have paved the road to what seems likely to be the show's best finale yet. There are so many interesting pieces in place, and I can't wait to see how they are moved about.
Spoiler
These three episodes introduced a lot of interesting family ties, from Miles and Chang to the whole Widmore/Eloise/Penny/Faraday situation.
Speaking of Faraday... that was tough. Even if they do fix things and manage to bring him back. :'(
Seeing Jack in more of a John Locke role since returning to the island has been pretty fascinating. And speaking of Locke, it is really great seeing him having truly come into his own leading the Others. And his newly appointed mission to kill Jacob was unexpected; I really want to get more into new-Locke's head. I just hope that Sun and Jin get to reunite this season.
And dammit, where are Rose and Bernard. :D
It's 2 minutes to midnight here, but I guess it's worth mentioning that today, for all that remains of it, is
LOST's 10th anniversary.
Gotham
This was pretty good. It's a little rough around the edges and has some typical "pilot problems," but there's a solid base in place for something better to emerge.
Gotham was fun. The little cameos and such were enjoyable. Liking the gritty Nolan like take on it.
Shas, I think those pictures have their own thread, not that I'm complaining. Or is it cause she's not a redhead?
Well, must have clicked the wrong thread. :laugh:
Lol yep ;D
I finished Avatar: The Last Airbender - Book Two: Earth. It is a fantastic show, really. Iroh is probably my favorite character. So funny and full of wisdow. It's a shame that Mako, the voice actor, passed away. Zuko, I know you'll become one of the good guys eventually, but right now you're just a f**king asshole. :laugh:

Wha-!? :o :'(
The show's best finale yet. And now, with one more season, it's all about to come to an end...
So now that I finished season 5, I gave the Mysteries of the Universe viral videos a watch (they can be found here (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Mysteries_of_the_Universe) for anyone interested). If you are a LOST fan I highly recommend checking these out. In-continuity, Mysteries of the Universe is supposedly a conspiracy theorist show that aired on ABC in the '80s that attempted to uncover the secrets of the Dharma Initiative.
I also took a look at the Orientation Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjeisdrYf4c#) that could be found on a VHS tape included in a special version of the season 5 DVD set. Nothing new here, but still a very nice watch. Would be cool to actually have the VHS tape; it'd feel quite authentic.

Spoiler
I wonder how Juliette knew it worked if that's a 'separate reality?' Jack on the plane that didn't crash seems to remember the island events, maybe Juliette could see the opposite from this side before she died?
It's really nice seeing some familiar faces again. Boone, Charlie, and Claire (can't wait to catch up with her on the island, since she ended season four hanging out with Christian/Smoke Monster/Titus Welliver). Even Desmond was on the plane.
I'm guessing Richard was a slave on the Black Rock all those years ago based on smokey John Locke's comments. I heard he has an excellent flashback, so I'm really looking forward to that.

LOST S6E05-07 'Lighthouse,' 'Sundown,' and 'Dr. Linus'
This season...
this show.
Spoiler
I was extremely impressed by the ultimate revelation of what the numbers mean. It probably wasn't what they were intending when they started the show (they probably didn't even have a clue when they started the show), but retroactively it works perfectly. So 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 symbolize the final six potential candidates left out of Jacob's original selection as represented by their spots on the dial in the lighthouse. And the island, this crazy, time-manipulating scientifically magical island, seems to have known this outcome all along with the frequency that these numbers have been appearing. But who could be number 108? Desmond seems to be the best bet right now. He is, after all, the "Constant." Maybe he will provide a link between these two realities.
And speaking of the other reality, 'Dr. Linus.' What a hell of an episode that was. Ben has been one of the most fascinating characters on the show, right from that very moment he showed up under a false name and got captured back in season two. But seeing him totally out of his element in the school, about to become the Ben that we all know and love to hate, and then refuse to do so in order to finally do something right for Alex, was extraordinarily powerful. And then to see that reflected on the island... wow.
I am desperately awaiting the reunion between Sun and Jin. It has been a long time in the making, and I really, really hope it happens soon. I'd hate to see something tear them apart, even though the fact that only one of them is likely to be the Kwon candidate seems to be pointing in that direction.
I've heard people say that the first few episodes of season 6 are a bit lacking, but I have been more than impressed so far. These first seven episodes have been so incredibly focused and revealing (but not
too revealing, of course), and have essentially begun to pave the road towards redefining just what this show is.
LOST has been like a giant game of chess, and each character has been a piece being moved about on this intricately complicated board, but now it feels like the pieces are finally stepping up big time to become the players. The events of this season are making me look back on everything that came before in an entirely new light.

The very last shot is perfect, with Walt laying out with his arms outstretched as the camera pulls out and the ceiling beams cross over him. A very fitting end.
'Ozymandias' is basically the ending that I (and probably everyone else) had expected the show to have, so I think it was a fantastic move having those huge events play out two episodes before the show actually ended. I think ending there (obviously with a few changes to account for it being the last episode) would have been the easy way out, and what they did instead delivered in so many ways that I was just not originally prepared for but still felt like perfectly natural progression. God, what a show.

Ozy was a fantastic episode and can easily see that be the ending. The transgressional shots thruout the entire series is fantastic, esp. the short intro teasers that hint the future. How walt gets the bitch with the Stevia (risin) is brillant. Vince Gillian even said when the show began he did not know the ending, except that Walt would not live past the finale. This is the show that you almost feel relief amidst sadness that it's over.
Watching my way through Lost's final season too. I really think Alpert should have remained semi-mysterious.
Spoiler
Also, I love that Sun is defeated by a low-hanging tree.
From what I heard, Alpert's big episode is one of the show's best. I'm really looking forward to it, and have really been enjoying the more expanded role he's gotten each season.
Nah. I've seen it twice now, it's pretty close to the nadir of the show in my opinion.

I thought about what you said, but I just couldn't bring myself to feel the same way. The episode was exactly the kind of thing I hope for in this show, especially this late in the game. A lot of the information that had been presented, be it about Richard or about
Spoiler
Jacob and the Man in Black
had been hinted at previously, and it was great to actually get confirmation on the subject. And on top of that, it was definitely one of the most emotionally gripping episodes to date.
I'd say that it is probably tied with 'Dr. Linus' as the best of the season so far.
Just turns out that he (Richard) isn't that interesting when you actually get to know him. I thought he had a very weak backstory, and particularly, he acted the part terribly. His version of broken English is just to shout and gasp wide-eyed all the time; compare that with Daniel Dae Kim's brilliant turn on the same subject.
The Legend of Korra - Book Four: BalanceKorra AloneHoly shit, this episode was so good. We get to see what Korra has been up to for the last three years, healing and getting better after what happened in the last season finale. I'm very curious to see what is up with the haunted vision of herself that keeps following her. Also, it's nice to see that Aang didn't loose his sense of humor as an adult. :laugh:

Thank you. Glad someone else watches it. It's just so fun.
Stopped watching somewhere around the time they started doing most of the show in full pre-rendered CGI instead of machinima. Just didn't have the same charm anymore.
Have been thinking about starting again, though.
It's still really good. I'd recommend it.
Is it still mainly pre-rendered, or have the gone back to the machinima?
Well the pre-rendered stuff is only used for scenes that they can't get with just the gameplay. A lot of it is still gameplay, but some of the fights and a couple other things are pre-rendered animation. But the animation is damn good, so it definitely has that going for it.
See, I liked when they limited themselves to only what they could actually do in the game. The fights were a lot more entertaining then. I remember when they first started slipping in the odd pre-rendered thing here and there (think it was around season 6 or 7), and it always just took me right outta the show.

South Park takes a week to appear over here so haven't seen the latest ep, but yeah, this has been one of the better seasons of the last decade in my opinion. I love how they keep having call-backs to the previous episode.
LOST S6E10-12 'The Package,' 'Happily Ever After,' and 'Everybody Loves Hugo'
A fantastic string of episodes.
Spoiler
Desmond's "solo" (for lack of a better term) episodes are always fantastic, and 'Happily Ever After' was definitely not an exception to that rule. I love what they're doing with him in the alternate timeline segments, and how he seems to be bringing everyone back together after his encounter with Charlie. Really curious about what's going on with island-Desmond as well. He's quite passive after his encounter with Widmore. In fact, a few characters have become quite passive this season (Claire, Jack, Sayid, Ben) after encountering all of these "higher powers," while others have totally embraced new roles (Richard, Hurley,and Jin, to name a few).
EDIT: Thinking about it a bit more, Des doesn't seem so much "passive" as he does confident and holding information back form us. Really looking forward to seeing how his story plays out.
Getting really close to the end now. ;D
S6E13 'The Last Recruit'
Spoiler
Finally, Jin and Sun! ;D Although their reunion was kind of short lived. There was a lot going on in that ending, and one hell of a cliffhanger.
Dude, just you wait. Across The Sea's one of my favourite episodes.

Across The Sea next I guess. :)
How did you like the Richard-centric episode btw?
'The Candidate' and then 'Across the Sea.' ;) I loved 'Ab Aeterno.' Found it to be one of the season's (hell, one of the show's) best episodes. Richard's past was fascinating, and I'm loving seeing how those events ripple into the present day story.
Spoiler
The scene with him communicating with his wife through Hurley was especially great. And more Jacob and Man in Black interaction is always a great thing!
Also, couldn't help myself; I had to order this (http://www.amazon.com/LOST-Encyclopedia-Tara-Bennett/dp/0756665949/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413495253&sr=8-1&keywords=lost+encyclopedia). :D

The Legend of Korra - Book Four: Balance
The Calling
Another really solid episode. It was nice seeing Korra get better.
Homeland Season IV isn't really working for me so far. Three episodes in and I'm simply not buying Carrie Matheson being in that position she's been put in by the new CIA director. She has proven to be highly unstable, impulsive and unreliable (which might have been assets in her prior work as an agent), but now she's running things in one of the USAs-war-on-terrorism hot spots? To add, it seems the antagonist is just some uninteresting terrorist leader, completely devoid of any interesting back story, unlike Abu Nazir from the first 2 seasons.
Hmmm.... :-\
Some shows just seem to have an earlier expiry date than others.
Quote from: Vickers on Oct 24, 2014, 11:51:53 PM

Ay. There was a scene with Carrie investigating a 'crime scene' personally (an agent had been killed there by an angry mob in broad daylight) in a highly trafficked intersection, she looks around a bit and somehow arrives at the conclusion that the whole event was a carefully planned assassination/operation.
To prove this point, she goes online on youtube and watches uploads of the killing and sure thing - she happens to find a clip (2nd she chooses) that just happens to capture a bystander wearing an earpiece (he must be an agent then!), seemingly overseeing the assassination or being otherwise involved.
Carrie f**king Holmes. When will Watson enter the scene? :D
The premise of that show was barely enough for one season's worth of story. Going beyond that was completely ridiculous.
Quote from: Cvalda on Oct 25, 2014, 12:03:45 AM
The premise of that show was barely enough for one season's worth of story. Going beyond that was completely ridiculous.
That's exactly the feeling I'm having. The character of Carrie Mathison just doesn't seem that interesting when she doesn't have Nicholas Brody in her life anymore. Saul also seems more like a supporting character here than a main character, which is a waste of Mandy Patinkin's screen presence.
I highly enjoyed season 1 (that finale was fantastic), but the show lost me over the course of season 2. Haven't watched past that.
Season 1 was best. Season 2 was just one of those, "Well this show is more successful than we could have possibly hoped for................anybody got an idea for season 2?"
You could tell they were trying to move away from the Brody storyline in Season 3, but I actually thought it was the second strongest season out of the three.
Since I don't watch shows as they come on usually, I'll just wait for this one to be released all at once.
Abu Nazir's actor has that creepy as voice. It still haunts me from Dead Space.
The best spy show is the Americans. But even that one kind of lost me at the end, even though I think I remember reading the twist being an actual thing.
Season 1 and 3 are tied for potency in my eyes, but Season 3 will always be the show's pinnacle for me. Can't see anything else topping that.
I'll have to wait and see about Season IV. None of them aside from maybe the first season seem to start out that strong.
Constantine – Episode One
Well I found that pretty enjoyable. A little rough around the edges but there's enough room for improvement. Matt Ryan is ruggedly handsome as the occult detective and con man, John Constantine. He looks and acts the part, which sadly I can't say the same for Keanu Reeves. Here, they got the look right, and it helps to be a true Englishman. Looking forward to the rest of the season!
Putting the show on on Fridays is kind of a death sentence, though.
If people say it picks up in a few episodes I'll probably give it a chance. I'm really curious about the show. The lead character, at least.
5 episode trial. Remember that folks.
Yeah, I'm going to stick with it for a bit because I like Ryan as Constantine, but the rest of it needs to get better. Especially the demons. That was one lame villain.

Please don't say that. I am already disappointed they gave shit like Gotham a full season of 22 episodes.
This has so much potential.
I'll try to give the episode a watch before the next one. Even if it starts off pretty shakey, I'm curious.

LOST S6E14-16 'The Candidate, 'Across the Sea,' and 'What They Died For'
Don't even know what to say. The end of 'The Candidate' had my jaw on the floor, 'Across the Sea' immediately became one of the best single episodes of the show, and 'What They Died For' put all of the pieces exactly where they need to be for the end.
Just the finale left to watch now, and I don't think I could have hoped for a better sequence of events to build up to it. Can't wait to see how this all plays out.
Spoiler
I did find myself kind of questioning "dark side" island Ben, however. Mostly because I really loved the arc he went through at the start of the season. But then, Ben is always going to be Ben at heart, and we still have the finale to see just where things go. Something tells me he does have an agenda of his own that he's working towards.
EDIT: Was just reading up on the episodes I watched (I like to read reviews from when the show was on air to see what people were thinking at the time), and I'm kind of in shock at how much 'Across the Sea' divided the audience. I was a big fan, myself. But then again, I guess a lot of the "weird stuff" that came into the show divided the audience in general as well, and I've fully embraced all of those choices so far.
You sharing your thoughts as you watch the last season for the first time, makes me wanna go back and re-watch select episodes this Christmas. :)
Screw the haters.

I don't believe for a second that Zhu Li really abandoned Varrick. Especially not after he saved her life earlier in the same episode.
Also, holy hell, that's Zelda Williams, Robin Williams' daughter, doing the voice for Kuvira? :D ;D

As I have sated in the past; my favorite Simpsons TOH ever, possibly overall favorite episode. Homer and the family re-enact The Shinning ("You mean Shining?" "SSSHHH! Wanna get sued?"), Homer creates a time machine by trying to fix the toaster, and kids are on the school cafeteria menu in "Nightmare Cafeteria". Classic epic Simpsons at its peak.

Constantine – Episode II
This was much better than the first episode. It seems like it will follow Supernatural's formula, by having John investigate strange occurrences throughout the country. They will get old after a while but I am hopeful they will build to a larger mythology around the character. And what the hell, does John have the same attire everywhere he goes. His shirt and tie get muddy in this episode, and he changes into the exact same thing that he had on. Reminds me of that scene from Last Action Hero. :D
AVClub gave it a D+, the lowest score for any TV show this week ;D
Don't care. ;D
Garo.
Interesting Buffy-meets-Kamen-Rider, very high quality action scenes.

Yep, definite improvement over the pilot.
Well that's good, I'll be seeing it real soon.
I'm honestly not sure why Constantine decided on Pennsylvania this episode. I mean, he must have driven past dozens of those f**king dots on has way there from Atlanta. :laugh:

LOST S6E17 'The End'
Wow.
I don't think I could have asked for a better way for this all to end. It left quite a bit unanswered, sure, but it did absolutely everything that it needed to, and executed all of it beautifully.
LOST 'The New Man in Charge'
'The End' truly was the end, but this was a really great epilogue. It actually answers a lot of those questions that were left unanswered. Not that I necessarily need to see it happen, but it actually opens the doors to a further continuation, a new story.
Well, I'm finished. And it was a fantastic ride.

South Park - Freemium
This episode was all about freemium mobile games and was on point. Another good episode from this already great season!

The Simpsons - Futurama crossover

Family Guy
Brian loses his teeth and gets implants. In turn, he becomes a real estate salesman. Meh.

I'm working my way through 30 Rock. I had brought Season 1,2 and 3 a couple of years ago but never got around to finishing it. Saw the complete series for £30 a couple of weeks ago so I brought it. Just started Season 5 now.
Absolutely love this show. It's so ridiculous but that's what I'm enjoying.
Aside from sports:
South Park - C^ck Magic
This episode just took this season and made it legendary. The boys are more interested in Magic the gathering duels than watching girls sports (mainly volleyball) and find out about underground gambling involving roosters playing Magic. They train their own rooster and take him to "the big time" of underground c^ck magic dueling. Randy confuses his son's new found interest with, well, penis magic and "gets back in the game" from his college days. Hilarious all around, super episode, possibly in the top 10 SP episodes!

Watching Blacklist #2 at the minute. Watched the first episode last night and really enjoyed it.
Newest episode of Constantine which was great. John teams up with Papa Midnite to stop some evil spirits killing folk. Also, Jim Corrigan showed up – before he's The Spectre. And believe or not, they let John take a few puffs on a cigarette. Bravo NBC, you finally found your balls.

Penny Dreadful Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2
This is still really damn good on a rewatch. Episode 2 manages to be beautiful, heartbreaking and seriously f**ked up all at once.
Justified Season Two
Episodes 1-3
Feels good to start watching this again. Givens is a total badass. A character born a century too late. A modern day cowboy. Timothy Olyphant plays him to perfection.

Penny Dreadful, Episodes 3 and 4
Yep, still amazing. Timothy Dalton is a right bastard in this. And Rory Kinnear is possibly the best onscreen representation of Frankenstein's creation.
Penny Dreadful, Episodes 5-8
Wow, watching these all at once was quite the experience. "Closer Than Sisters" is entirely a flashback, explaining a good chunk of the backstory, and it's all compelling as f**k. All of the episodes are, though, so that's not really a surprise. "Possession" stands out for some really great performances, especially from Hartnett, and "Grand Guignol" is a much better finale than I remembered. I still stand by my statement that some of the plot resolution is too quick and too easy, but there was so much else that was done perfectly that I have a hard time complaining.
Life on Mars
Mostly finished Series 1 of this. Usually not a big fan of police procedurals, but goddamn, this one is good.
Finished Justified Season Two. That was great, like holy shit. Now I am six episodes into The Strain, and loving it. Following the book pretty damn close.
South Park (Wednesday's new ep)
For the first time this season, I was not liking it. Cartman begins a commenting on people commenting on playing video games (and making fun of Kyle). It was still a decent episode, but not over the top hilarious like the rest of this season. 5/10
Gonna start the series Wings (from the 1990s) soon... Love that show for some reason
Watching The X-Files, all the way through. I watched bits and pieces as a kid, and went over the highlights a few years back, but I've never had the chance to enjoy the whole series from start to finish until now. I'm up to the finale of season 3.
I only have one question:
How can one show be so based?
I only ever got to Season 3 of the X-Files. No particular reason, I just never got around to buying Season 4. I used to love it back when I was in Secondary School. I've been thinking of trying a rewatch soon.
I started watching No Man's Land last night. I probably shouldn't like it but I loved it. I used to love Home Improvement when I was growing up and No Man's Land was just so similar (obviously with Tim Allen). Anyone else watch that here?

I've now watched roughly 10 or so episodes of the first season of 60s Batman. So amaze. Adam West is actually pretty awesome (and more or less playing it straight), and the villains are almost all great, Mr. Freeze being one of the exceptions so far. Oh, and Aunt Harriet is annoying.
Mazinkaiser SKL - Had a weak story and characters, but man this was f**king awesome. The best rock metal soundtrack that I seen in an anime for a long time and tons of fun action. The main characters were very likeable too. This was so over the top that I loved every moment of it!! 8/10
Watched up to episode 5 of The Strain last night. The show undoubtedly works better in this format.
I'm one episode away from one of the coolest reveals in the show, and only a few episodes away from where I left off. Really looking forward to actually finishing it this time.
Been watching some Yu-Gi-Oh. Finished watching Season 1 and started Season 2 (on Netflix). I used to love this show as a kid but I never got past Season 2 if my memory holds up. Really enjoying it.

Bought the first two seasons of "The Vampire Diaries" so trying to get into that. I'm as far as just finishing episode 14 of Season 1 "Fool Me Once". I like the show quite a bit so far, and it's far above the "Twilight" stereotype that is carelessly slapped on it. The writing, character development, acting, gore, action, etc is far too much to be that. Favorite character so far is Stefan, but I find Damon to be fairly interesting and I feel for him with the whole "Katherine" thing. The Salvatore brother's relationship is to me the driving force of the show. At least at this point.
Masada
I watched some of this miniseries last night. The Jews straight up troll the Romans at certain points. :laugh:
Kamen Rider: Agito. Just like KR: Kuuga, it has a serious problem with padding. Seriously, these seasons average at 50 episodes, and the plot only really starts moving at the 35 episode mark. Still, when it did get it's shit together, very enjoyable. I'm not sure if I like it more then Garo, though, but after seeing some clips of Kamen Rider Gaim, I really need to catch up to that.
The newest episodes of The Flash and Constantine.
Both were awesome. Captain Cold and Heatwave made that episode. Looking forward to seeing more of them. And as for Constantine, it was nice to see the origin behind Chaz's invincibility.

Tremors: The Series 'Feeding Frenzy,' 'Shriek and Destroy,' and 'Blast From the Past'
It's been forever since I watched this, and since I started marathoning the films on the 25th anniversary of the original I figured I might as well give this another go as well. Watching it again is a real nostalgia trip.
There is some annoying editing and cinematography in the premiere, and the dubbed exposition in the second episode that tries to remedy the episode's incorrect placement during the show's original airing should have been removed for the DVD release, but otherwise the show is still incredibly fun. It's everything that you would expect from the sort of monster of the week fare that it is, but the cast really sells it and the show has all the charm of the films. There is some dodgy CGI work, but some of it actually looks quite good for a television production like this. I think Messerschmitt actually looked better than his Back to Perfection AB counterparts. Tyler makes for a great sidekick to the always fantastic Burt Gummer, and seeing a pre-Breaking Bad Dean Norris is always fun. I guess he had to work some odd jobs before getting promoted to DEA. :D
Can't wait to continue on with this rewatch. Three episodes in and I'm already feeling right at home again.
'Hit and Run'
Monsters meets mobsters, complete with a guest appearance by Michael Rooker. :D Unfortunately this episode has a bad case of red El Blanco, but it's really fun seeing the residents of Perfection completely out of their element in this one.
I've just finished watching the Starship Troopers anime - took me along enough to finally find it with English subs. How incredibly 80s. And nothing like the films - which is to be expected. Really enjoyed it actually. I'm going to reread the book after I've finished the book I'm on now.
Supernatural, Season 6. I really hate Dean.
The Mrs has me watching an anime called Fruits Basket. I don't know whether to be depressed or just freaked out. xD
The last show I watched was a anime it was High school of the dead.
Currently watching my old faithful, Stargate SG-1.
Been having a morning in bed, catching up on Arrow, Flash, Archer, Star Wars Rebels. :)
Finally got to watching the first two Better Call Saul eps. The first was good and the second was much better. I seen a peek at ep 3 and it looks tense.
Also Appalachian Outlaws. Great season so far, hope Mike Ross gets dem poachers dem sonz of beeches. The show is filmed about four hours away from where I live in southern West Virginia (aka god's country).

I like the OVA as well. It's from Sunrise, the same company behind Gundam. I believe Bandai also help market the OVA as well.
I'm not overly familiar with animes so that all means little to me, I'm afraid. I've never watched Gundam.
Hannibal is back bitches
True Detective, again.
It is rather good.
Still watching Once Upon A Time. I'm onto Season 4 and really enjoying the Frozen arc at the minute. Anyone else into it?
Still watching many Simpsons episodes, Jeopardy! and lots of sports/athlete docs.
I think that Kimagure Orange Road deserves a rewatch soon...
Game of Thrones
Only one death in today's episode );
South Park
How i met your mother
I finished watching Knights of Sidonia last night. I don't really watch many anime but I really enjoy this show. I suspect it's probably quite typical of anime sci-fi (bit mecha suit, weird biological alien things) but it's really interesting to me.
Seasons 6 and 7 of Supernatural
and
Season 1 of Bojack Horseman
The Men In Blazers Show
But the show's really good for finding out what happened in other soccer matches I didn't get to see aside from the NUFC ones I watch live. :laugh:
Season 8 of Supernatural
Jordskott
The Brink
Person of Interest
Finally finished True Detective Season 2... HOLY SHIT!!
Started rewatching Scrubs with the lass as she's never seen it properly.
Andromeda Season 4. Really enjoy the show but really wish we could have seen Robert Hewitt Wolfe's Coda on screen
I never got past Season 3. :-\ I tried rewatching that last year but it just lost me. I'd love to try again but meh - got other stuff to watch.
I'm a completest sadly so I'm soldiering on. There are some good elements in seasons 3, 4 and 4 , but they are few and far between. Did you ever read the CODA, that's available on the net?
South Park - Season premiere
Not sure about the new Principal, but overall it was great as usual. Randy being a pledge was hilarious!
Fargo - Season 2 Finale
Spoiler
Fantastic conclusion to a hyped up season. Makes you wonder about Hanze (as in will the next season follow him).
I now have all three seasons of Hannibal on blu. Gonna be watching the whole series again pretty soon.
I've been rewatching Parks and Rec again...I love this show so much. I don't think a single episode goes by where I don't laugh.
So I watched the first episode of this last night. Hilarious.
From Dusk Till Dawn Episode 5 or 6 of Season 1 lol
Gotham : Rise of the Villans Episode 4 Season 2. Enter Michael Chiklis
Queer As Folk (UK version) - Season 1 (4 episodes)
A tad slow to start, but absolutely fantastic! I ordered Season 2 (the final season), can't wait to see what happens once it gets here!
So I came across something called Community on Netflix on Friday night. Recognized it from some memes. I've just started Season 2. I'm absolutely loving it.
^I've heard of it, haven't watched tho!

Watched it awhile ago, was really good! The final hour was really fast paced and whole lots went down. The final scene was really cool.
As for current:
The People Vs. OJ Simpson: An American Crime StoryI can't recommend this show enough. Watched it from Episode 1 (10 total) and looked forward to every Tuesday night just to watch it. Superb acting, writing, scenery, everything! Gets my vote for Best Supporting Actor (male and female), Best Writing and Best (insert category here)!
10/10 (every episode)
Also been watching
The Real O'Neals and
Modern Family. How I never watched Modern Family before still baffles me.

You should! It's surprisingly funny.
I remember watching the first few episodes of Community when they first aired before The Office back in the day. Then they flipped the schedule around when Parks and Rec came back on and I lost track of it.
Lol! Just on the Halloween episode and Donald Glover is a powerloader and another character is an Alien. XD
Not the best quality unfortunately.
Supernatural Season 10 Episodes 1-8.
Loving this series so far. Episode 5 was just brilliant
22.11.63
Watched the first episode. Absolutely loved it. It's my favourite Stephen King book and one of my favourite books ever. They made a few changes, but overall it's really well done. James Franco doesn't disappoint.
X Files - Tooms. hadnt watched this episode is ages, but its still a Classic
The Flash. Although the last two episode were a little "meh". Hope tonight's episode is better.
The Flash: Season 2 - Episode 21 "The Runaway Dinosaur"
Kevin Smith has directed one of the best episodes of this show's entire run. Top notch.
5/5

I have to agree. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy the episode based off the preview but damn, was it a strong one!
I'm in the last stretch of Season 6 of Community. Absolutely love this show. It's petered off a little bit in the last few seasons as the cast changes but I'm still enjoying it.

Yeah great episode last night. Was hoping for a longer cameo from Jason Mewes to but either way was good to see him.
Heroes Reborn Episode 13.
I really enjoyed this season and It really did pick up in its second half. I wish that it hadnt been cancelled again as there were a few bits that i really want to find out about like:
Spoiler
Who is Melina and Nathan/Tommy's Dad? is it Peter or Sylar

It didn't even occur to me until it happened. I was like "duhhh!"
I didn't even know Kevin Smith directed that episode until I saw the opening credits. My friend Rob who I watch The Flash with didn't even know who Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith are until I said Jay & Silent Bob :D
Have been binge watching Seinfeld (finished Season 5). It is so easy to binge on, as every episode is completely different, not mention hilarious and the legendary writing!
Also new episodes of Bering Sea Gold, Modern Family and The Real O'neals have been on the list.
I love Modern Family. Only recently just got back into it (watched it when it first started on Sky but I stopped watching Sky). It cracks me up every episode.
So the lady friend has finally succeeded in getting me to watch some Supernatural. It's not bad. I'm not sold yet but it's okay.

Has she got you watching it right from the start, or pick and mix. My friend got me into it right from the start, I'm now up to date with the Uk showings of Season 11
Right from the start. We're just on the 3rd disc of Season 1.
Ah cool. It does pick up more as it goes on
Currently been binge watching House for the past couple of months. I'm on season five as of now.
Preacher
As a fan of the comics, I really liked the pilot. It's different, but I like that I feel as though I have no idea where it's going. Joseph Gilgun is perfectly cast, IMO.
Witless Episode 5.
I do hope there is a second series on this British Witness Protection dark comedy
Blue Eyes Episode 10.
A great ending to a fantastic Swedish Series. Didnt end at all the way i expected, which is great. I do hope there is a second series of this.
Game of Thrones Season 6 Episodes 4 and 5.
Holy shit!! Dan and Dave have gone mad. HODOR!!!
Blindspot Season 1 Episodes 20 and 21.
Its picking up a head of steam as we near the end

Absolutely love the relationship dynamic between Mulder and Scully. Can't wait to see where they'll go. ;)

The Disappearance Episodes 1 and 2.
Great French drama (Thank you BBC4). Its been described as a French Broadchurch, but i actually think this is vastly superior IMO.
Empire Season 2 Episode 18.
Was an okay finale. Some moments seemed quite forced, but there were some other fantastic moments. And what a cliffhanger for Season 3
Flat TV Episode 1.
What a load of s**t. Wont be continuing with this.
A Midsummer Nights Dream.
What a fantastic version by Russell T. Davies and members of the Doctor Who team. Perfect way to get Kids and Teenagers into the works of the Bard
Blindspot Season 1 Episodes 22 and 23
Well wasnt expecting that ending. Thank god its been renewed for a season 2
Just started re-watching this beauty of a show:

I'd forgotten how kickass Miami Vice could be when it really tried.
Containment Episode 1.
Essentially this is the American remake of the great Belgian series Cordon
Ive really gotten into That 70s show!funny I used to skip that when it came on.
Just finished a whole run of BattleStar Galactica, Seasons 1-2-3 were great 8.5/10 Season 4 6/10
Watching Fear of the Dead, started good but starting to slip
Will attempt to watch The Flash, Daredevil and Constantine next

By the way Richard Chaves plays as Colonel Paul Ironhorse in the War of the Worlds TV Show...Kickass show...discovered it when I went on a WOTW binge a few years back...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094578/?ref_=nv_sr_4 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094578/?ref_=nv_sr_4)
Neat. Turns out season 3 of Vice was chock full of AVP faces - Bill Paxton, Richard Chaves, Veronica Cartwright and Sonny Landham were all in it.
Binge watched both seasons of Daredevil on Netflix for the first time.
It's AMAZING. By far the best fight sequences I've ever seen on a TV show, barring the big battle spectacles of Game of Thrones and Rome. Great writing, with villains and supporting characters providing a mirror for the main character's core philosophies. Beautifully shot - it's gloomy, but really imaginative use of angles and framing, and lots of sexy coloured lighting. I assume it's mostly shot on location in New York, because it's one of those shows that feels deeply rooted in its environs. And some tremendous performances.
I'm not a comic reader, and am a bit so-so on superhero movies, but did actually enjoy the Affleck Daredevil film, and the character is something with a lot of deep resonance. I love the idea of a disabled hero - being somewhat less than able myself, Matt Murdock is inspiring in a way none of the other Marvel guys manage. Despite being a fan of Affdevil, it's hard to argue against the series being vastly superior. The one thing I thought they did a lot better in the film is the delineation of Murdock's strengths and weaknesses - the series doesn't show you much of how he perceives the world, and his blindness is hardly ever treated as a weakness. He's not really portrayed as disabled, which kind of defeats the point; his perception in the show is near-perfect and only limits his ability to see colours, pictures or the occasional ninja. The film handles his capabilities very differently, making plot points out of giving him a major advantage when there's rain or moderately reverberating noise, and a major disadvantage when there's excessive noise.
But yeah, that aside, the series is just a universe away in terms of quality.
First season had a problem similar to Jessica Jones, in that by focusing on one villain and one main plotline, it feels stretched too thin, like they're spreading 8-10 episodes of storyline over 13 episodes. Vincent D'onofrio makes an incredible Kingpin, but even so, I think we needed to see less of him. I wonder if Marvel should adopt the Game of Thrones format of 10 episodes per season, because that show takes its time but always leaves you wanting more. Seems the perfect fit.
Season 2 does not have this problem. Its two main plotlines are almost entirely separated from each other, with negligible intermingling, but this mirrors the fracturing of Nelson & Murdock, so it works fine. Most importantly, there's no sense of fatigue or bloat, it moves at a perfect pace. The whole season is nigh-on perfect, it's just that the concept of an immortal ninja cult invading the city is maybe a step too far, given the gritty and Nolan-esque tone of the series. Then again, as I said, I'm not a comic reader, so I don't know where they'll be taking The Hand in future; Murdock certainly feels their beliefs are as bogus as I do.
Sliders Season 2 episodes 9-13
Still on House season seven, it started off great but this season just hasn't been as gripping to me as other seasons.
Talking of show's slumping, I'm on season 4 of Miami Vice now. What an odd one. For every excellent episode up the series' best, you have some weird shit about James Brown being an alien.

Wut? :laugh: I heard about aliens showing up, but that... :laugh:
Yeah... The less said about the episode "Missing Hours" the better... But then who could forget such other classics as the one where they have to babysit a cryogenically frozen reggae singer, or follow around a tank of stolen bull sperm? No, I'm not making that up. Some of the episodes in season 4 just have you begging, "What were they thinking?!"
But then alongside those there are plenty of excellent ones. The season really picks up in its second half. It's odd that they seemed to load most of the crap episodes up towards the start of the season, leaving far better ones for later. Plus season 4 builds up to a pretty awesome finale. Crockett getting amnesia and becoming his drug-dealing alter-ego may be dumb on paper, but Don Johnson's so good in the villainous role he manages to completely sell it.
Has anyone been watching Scream on Netflix? What do y'all think of it? I'm loving it right now, it's got all the cliches while being completely self aware
Occupied Season 1 Episodes 9 and 10.
Just found out they are going to do a Second series. Cant Wait

Bojack Horseman Season 2 Episodes 1-3
Lol i forgot how dark this could get at times lol
Babylon 5 Season 4 Episodes 9-20
I didnt realise how rushed the second half of this Season was. But its understandable when the future of the show was up in the air at the time and he needed to get the main storylines finished
Polished off the final episode of Miami Vice today. Kinda sad it's all over.*
Never bought all the hate for the final season, I think it's probably my second favourite after the show's undeniable high point of season 2. I love the bleak tone it has - Crockett in particular has really lost his faith with law enforcement (can't really blame him by this point!) - and I really dig Tim Truman's correspondingly darker, guitar- and drum-based score, replacing Jan Hammer's smooth synth vibes. The finale is probably one of my favourite episodes of the show, just because they clearly threw so much into it and went out with a bang. Also Ian McShane is the villain. You can't not love Lovejoy playing a South American dictator!
*Actually, not quite all over - I'm gonna watch the film tonight. It's not a patch on the show and it's certainly a long way from Micahel Mann's best, but it's grown on me with every repeat viewing.
Ian McShane? Well now I have to watch that whole show.
:) Yeah, he crops up a couple of times, once playing a drug dealer in season 3 and then again in the finale.
Babylon 5 Season 4 Episodes 21-22
A great ending to the series. Although for some reason I always remembered the final episode as the second episode of Season 5 lol
Narcos.The ending was just wow
Can't wait for season 3 and 4 :)
Slasher, 4.5/5
Not bad for a slasher tv series, decent kills and the killers costume looks good enough.
Though it doesn't get as good as similiar shows like "Harpers Island" it's still entertaining enough
and I kinda guessed who the killer was on like the second episode but it was still a good time.
Half a point deducted for having a predictable, twist killer ending.
Thats a point, i still need to watch the final episode of Slasher lol
Fleabag Episode 6.
This was a really good series and i know its a bit of a dark comedy, but i didnt expect the final episode to get SO DARK, damn.

Luke Cage is pretty great do far. :)
Still lots of Seinfeld. I never get bored watching it again either. I do put on the "Notes About Nothing" feature too, it's great to see all the tidbits of info about the actors, settings and flashbacks. Bob Odenkirk was on the last ep I watched, was waiting to see BB and BCS references, but I kept forgetting the DVD notes were made in 2005, so that info was not happening.

This year, I am finally going to do what I have wanted to for years; watch all TFTD episodes in the month of October. At least 1 episode per day. I can easily binge watch it, so I can catch up quickly if needed. Most of them are by George Romero and are fantastic watching. Some are VERY silly/bad, while others are genuinely scary (in some aspect). In case some are wondering why I didn't start with Episode 1; it is all about trick or treating, so that episode is saved for Halloween night, right before trt. So it begins! :)
Josh Season 2 Episode 1.
Lol nice to see this series back. Jack Dee is so good and i totally believe Tamzin Outhwaite as a Milf Nympho ;)
Managed to watch at least one episode of TFTD this October, but I did not get to finish the series.
Back to Seinfeld (the last season) for a little while!

Only have the final two episodes of Season 3 to go now lol
Shotgunned the first five episodes of the new Exorcist show. It's so damn... silly. Let's go, so far: the two priests are the best part of the show, even if the young guy's dilemma of being too sexy for the job is hilarious. And the older, experienced Exorcist? He's a every tough cop cliche in priest form. They even
suspendexcommunicate him and make him hand in his
badgecollar. :laugh: His actor is pretty damn good, too.
The family drama is so inane it's funny, what with the possessed sister being all bitchy and catty with the other. And both Geena Davis and Alan Ruck as the parents are either bored out of their minds or baked as f**k, because neither of them seem to really give a shit.
Some spioiler-y thoughts:
Spoiler
In possessed form, she masturbates with a hot curling iron (and enjoys it), and then she beats up/mutilates a gropey Cubs fan on a EL train. Oh, and I should mention that the demon is shown, as a pissy Richard Jenkins look alike who gets annoyed really easily. Granted he can be really, really, creepy at times
Spoiler
Tough cop priest learns from a snarky nun that you can exorcise the demons out... by loving them, really, really hard. :laugh: Not making this up.
Now for the most tremendous, ridiculous spoiler:
Spoiler
In episode 5, the demon says that he wants "her" to be brought to him. At the end, there's a long, ominous build up that the mother isn't telling the full truth about herself, and slowly explains it all to sexy priest, as someone approaches her house in a taxi dressed like Father Merrin, complete with the light shining through windows and shit. It turns out, no f**king joke, that Geena Davis is playing the grownup Regan MacNeil under an assumed name, and the person who just showed up at the house is her mother. In a Merrin cosplay. I'm not making this up. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I wouldn't put it past the series to somehow work in The Heretic, if I'm being honest.
I hope not lol. Well maybe the Kokomo flashbacks (which could take place between Dominion and The Exorcist, since i swear the film says that happens in the 50's), but everything else no, no please no lol
I CAST YOU OUT
Down to the final (2 part) episode of Seinfeld. I've decided to re-watch my favorite all time series once Seinfeld is concluded...

OMG I love this show so much, easily my favorite show of all time. Down to the last 4 (TV aired) episodes already. Brilliant writing, acting, hilarious cameos/characters, and full of Easter eggs all throughout the show if you pay attention to everything!
All time Favorite show/10
After cleaning around the house today, I lazed and watched 5 hours of Will & Grace. Really good show, need more to watch....
Recently watched it myself (NetFlix). I'd heard of it and knew loads of people in it (was surprised to hear Malorey Archer's voice though!) and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't rate it above the likes of Community or Archer though.
NCIS : New Orleans Season 2 Episode 24
Good end to this Season, wrapped up the mini arc nicely. Cant wait for Season 3

To each their own, I watched it when it was live too, so I literally could not wait for the next week to come (this was the first show to do this to me). Breaking Bad was the same way, anxiously awaiting each week's new episode.
Her as Lucille Bluth is one of the perfectly cast parts for her too, she played it perfect.
Channel Zero - Candle Cove Episode 6
An intriguing series, liked where it went and everything was tied up bar one thing from the first episode. Nice subdued ending but thats what was needed. Interesting take on the creepypasta over all
Just started a long overdue re-watch of The Pacific.
I really wanna go through Band of Brothers again too, but given how much better that is I'm gonna save it for afters :)
Farscape S1 episode 14
Remember watching this on sci-fi years back; ordering more starburst DVDs next month.
Would like Crichton to say Alien references; would be great..
Traditional viewing of:
Married... With Children - It's a Bundyful Life parts I and II. Hilarious in every way!
Classic/10
Rewatched a few episodes of Ed, Edd and Eddy. Ah, the good times. :laugh:
The good times indeed, old Cartoon Network was the bomb.
Agatha Christie's The Witness for the Prosecution
After the success of And Then There Were None, last year its no surprise they did another standalone Christie adapt. Loving this as well. Lots of twists and turns
Started re-watching Band of Brothers with the missus, who's never seen it. Completely forgot Fassbender was in it!
Doctor Who Christmas Special - The Return of Doctor Mysterio
An enjoyable episode. Not as good as some of the others, but better than most :)
Just came back from the theaters to see Why Him, the comedy with Bryan Cranston and James Franco. Didn't laugh once

Haven Season 5 Episode 26
Essentailly the second half of this season was season 6, but they decided to call it 5. Interesting ending. Wrapped up pretty much everything, although I was confused by one point as it wasn't that clear
War of the Worlds Season 1 Episodes 22-24
A great series from '89. Am still annoyed that all these plot points and bits were just completely dropped for Season 2, it could have been something even more amazing
Not enough Flash! I need more Flash!
Despite my conviction ahead of time that it was going to be awful, I gave the Lethal Weapon series a go, as ITV are showing it.
I made it to about 5 minutes before the end of episode 2, and then I had to turn it off. Good God. It's such utterly generic, bland, forgettable crap. Not one aspect of it is instilled with any kind of flair or panache.
Considering the films it came from, they should be f*cking ashamed.

It's not a badly made show, it's the fact that the title is literally the only thing that distinguishes it from so many other middle-of-the-road American cop shows. And that annoys me more, because it feels like they didn't really attempt to make it special.

Sherlock Season 1
I finally got around to watching this, and I like it a hell of a lot. Cumberbatch and Freeman are both excellent in their roles, and the three episodes are all well plotted and interesting. The premiere, "A Study in Pink," was the best, while "The Blind Banker" was the leas good for me. "The Great Game" was a very good finale, as well. However, I will say that Andrew Scott's Moriarty is kind of crap. I don't mind the writing for the character, but his performance just reminds me of Jacob Kell in Highlander: Endgame. Yeah...

Rome S1 E1-2
Excellent stuff so far, and yet another reason to love Ray Stevenson and James Purefoy. And holy crap, that's Dr. Channard from Hellraiser 2 playing Pompey. :o ;D
Yeah, Rome's always been a hugely underrated show in my opinion. Hits most of the same buttons that Game of Thrones did a few years afterwards.
Regarding James Purefoy, just wait until the second season. Acting god.
Rome S1 E3-5
Still pretty damn great, even if the drama with Vorenus' wife isn't quite as interesting as everything else. But at least it gave us a scene of Pullo cutting a guy to pieces and then dumping him sewer water. 8)
Quote from: Vertigo on Apr 16, 2017, 01:10:15 PM
Regarding James Purefoy, just wait until the second season. Acting god.
Yep, Antony will have to really step up after Caesar's assassination, looking forward to Purefoy playing that.
Sherlock S2E1 "A Scandal in Belgravia"
This episode was mostly great, with a very interesting new take on Irene Adler, and some very good plot twists. That being said, I feel there were maybe a few too many plot twists crammed in there. M. Night Shyamalan would tell them to tone it down. :laugh: And I honestly didn't get what the hell the deal with the plane was. On the other hand, Andrew Scott's f**k awful acting was kept to a minimum, so that's good. ;)
Star Trek Voyager Season 1 Episode 1
The 4400 Season 1 Episode 1
Rome S1 E6-8
This just gets better and better as it goes on, and I'm loving the unfolding of historical events. And holy hell, Cleopatra is one crazy bitch. :laugh:
Better Call Saul S3 ep2
That ending for Mike and Jimmy. Yikes.
Sherlock S2 E2 "The Hounds of Baskerville"
Excellent piece of work. A great mystery with some well done homages to Doyle's original story.
Rome S1 E9-10
Only two episodes left in this season, and not only is the tension thick enough to cut, but it's also gone a tad sleazy, if not to Game of Thrones levels. And damn, Pullo, time and place...
Law and Order: Los Angeles ep1
They cancelled the brilliant original to make this? While not bad, it didnt feel like a Law and Order to me
Rome S1 E11-12
That was one hell of a ride. I already have Season 2 ordered. :)
Oh, and f**k the Senate. A bunch of whiny petty bitches.
Sherlock S2 E3 "The Reichenbach Fall"...
I liked the episode as a whole a lot, and it all worked fairly well. And Scott was relatively restrained this time, besides a few odd line readings, a number of Samurai Cop-esque reaction faces, and well, the whole final scene. However... I think Season 3 will be rivaling Doyle himself in the "bullshit retconning ourselves out of a corner" department. Come to think of it, The Empty House more or less prefigures the Marvel Comics approach to death. :laugh:
Kevin Can Wait Episode 1
An okay comedy from Kevin James (Adam Sandler's mate). But I did like the subversion of who the daughter was dating
Rome Season 2
Yes, I shotgunned the whole thing in one day. :laugh: It was very good, but a bit less so than season one. You can really see how they had to hurry the ending along because of the upcoming cancellation. Also, the recast for Octavian, while the actor did very well, was pretty distracting given how he transformed into a different person with only two episodes in between. That and Timon's side story felt kind of truncated.
All that aside, the friendship between Vorenus and Pullo is a compelling as ever, and James Purefoy downright steals the show at times. The last couple of episodes focusing on Antony and Cleopatra were damned excellent, too.
Spoiler
How the f**k did Vorenus last a month with that wound? :laugh: I guess McKidd was talking bullshit when he said he would be in a potential film follow up, given how apparently dead he was at the end there.
The Wire S1 E1-3
Pretty great so far. There's been a whole lot of "Wait a minute, I know that guy!", too. Like, did not expect Bob Stookey from Walking Dead to show up. :laugh:
Hah, yeah, The Walking Dead had quite a few cast members from The Wire in it.
And Bull Randleman from Band of Brothers :)
Bones Season 3 Episodes 10-15
You're The Worst Season 2 Episode 1
The Idiotsitter Season 1 Episode 1
The Wire S1 E4-6
This show really has a feel like no other. It's pretty minimalist as cop shows go, but endlessly interesting. And it's great to finally see Dominic West act in something that isn't shit, completely wastes him, or a mixture of both.
And wow, almost didn't recognize Michael B. Jordan.

Another show I've not seen, despite History seeming to rerun it endlessly a few years back.
Sherlock S3 E1 "The Empty Hearse"
This one was... okay. There was some fun stuff with the "fan theories", but the main plot was kind of bland, and it felt like the writers lifted a bunch of stuff from V for Vendetta, as well as the bonfire scene from Candyman. And they really bitched out on resolving the cliffhanger from Season 2.
The Wire S1 E7-10
Damn, just when you think things are looking up, shit gets real... On a lighter note, I think I've actually been to that place where Omar and Stringer have the parley. It's one of the nice touristy areas. :laugh:

*slow clap* That was one hell of a way to close out the season. Bittersweet, yet totally satisfying in its way. I'm very curious to see how they keep this going for four more seasons.

Yep, I meant Band of Brothers. I've seen Walking Dead... the first five seasons, at least. I finally broke after that hospital bullshit, only finished out the season out of obligation.
And I love a good war movie, so that won't be an issue. :)
Better Call Saul S3 E4
Holy freaking crap, best episode of the series so far...
Spoiler
The return of the cartel Dons :o
Gus's final line of the episode was very forecasting to what conspires in Breaking Bad, very cryptic.
Does he pick up a Batman comic and compare himself to Two-Face? ;)
Well... not quite. :laugh:
Super spoiler warning:

Gus says to Mike (in response to why Mike was warned to stop his plot to kill Hector):
"A bullet to the head would have been far too humane."
Sherlock S3 E2 "The Sign of Three"
The way this started out, it felt like one of those anime filler episodes where they throw a party for no reason. Turned out to be a pretty damn clever piece with a great mystery tying everything together, as well as a wonderful emotional payoff at the end. I was disappointed that they missed yet another opportunity to work in Colonel Moran, though.
Quote from: KiramidHead on May 04, 2017, 09:50:38 PMAnd I love a good war movie, so that won't be an issue. :)
Then defintiely give it a watch.
It's only real fault is that it has
so many characters, it can be hard to keep track of them. In that way it definitely benefits from a repeat viewing. Otherwise it's pretty much a masterpiece.
Better Call Saul S3 E5
All about Jimmy's hearing in front of the board, with another BB guest reappearing... :o
The ending left a lot of hang, but man, another great episode!
The Wire S2 E1-3
Pretty good so far. The new case is suitably intriguing, at the very least. And oh look, it's Holly from The Office, Deputy So-And-So from Sinister, and the guy who played Moe in the Three Stooges TV biopic. :laugh:
I do think that the Barksdale subplot this season, while very good, is a bit superfluous, and an excuse to give Idris and Dredd guy screen time. But I'll prbably be proven wrong here. :laugh:

Doesn't surprise me, the first season had a slow build as well. This one does have McNulty being involved mainly as a smug c**t for three episodes, which is certainly entertaining. :laugh:
mcnulty gets into some super funny sleazy situations later in the season. :laugh:
Ziggy is the one character i REALLY hated early on.... (super annoying)
but even small characters like that are very well written and even manage to break your heart.

I've now heard at least one person name each season as the best, except for five, so far.
Oh, and that bridge that's hugely important in the first few episodes? I've crossed it countless times to visit my Aunt and Uncle, and later on my grandparents when they moved out of the city. If I ever end up back in Maryland, I can cross the bridge and go "Look, that's where McNulty fished out the body!" :laugh:
Sherlock S3 E3 "His Last Vow"
Eh... Magnussen was great, and the writing was generally good, but pushing such a great villain into the background so we could have
The Bourne Identity Soap Opera Hour wasn't so great for me, mainly because it's less shocking when you've only know a character for two episodes and change. Once the focus shifted back to Magnussen, though, the episode became great, though. But that cliffhanger...
Spoiler

Sherlock "The Abominable Bride"
This was interesting, and had some pretty good scenes. It's basically a bit of a wanky "look how clever we are" scenario, though.
Sherlock S4 E1 "The Six Thatchers"
It starts out decently, with some fun mystery solving. Then it descends into more of that boring spy drama bullshit from last season, but without Magnussen around to redeem it in the last five minutes. It has a better villain than Moriarty, though, so there's that.
Billions Season 2 Eps 11-12
Line of Duty Season 4 Ep 6
Sherlock S4 E2 "The Lying Detective"
This one starts pretty badly, with a lot of over the top stylization that makes Guy Ritchie look subtle. However, once it calms down and settles into something resembling sanity, it gets pretty great, and one of the best episodes of the series. Toby Jones is brilliant, and the way everything plays out actually manages to partially redeem the boring nonsense from last episode. It even winds up packing a pretty strong emotional payoff... even if the twist ending is a bit of a WTF moment. I'll wait and see how the next episode handles it.
Sherlock S4 E3 "The Final Problem"
That was pretty damn interesting, and different sort of Holmes story for sure. Very well done... and it didn't end on a bullshit cliffhanger for once, either.
Also...

American Gods. f**king awesome.
I caught the first episode of that. Weird as hell but I'm interested in seeing the rest. Just waiting for my girlfriend to decide if she's going to watch it with me lol.
I watched the first episode of Riviera. I'm not sure what to make of it - I guess I'm not really the target audience.
I just finished watching that. I really enjoyed it. Felt like it could've been better but it was solidly made.
I will bear with it, HuDa. I liked the line at the beginning where she says "He's just a voyeur" - which I think was meant to describe the audience too as most of will never live a multi-billionaire art-dealing life-style.
I'm wondering if it wants to be the Dallas/Dynasty of the early 21s or if its something more.
The plot is kinda generic when all is said and done - certainly nothing I hadn't seen done before - but I found the characters interesting and I was constantly wanting to know what happens next, which I guess is the most important thing with a TV series.
Yep - is that bloke really dead, was it faked, if its real, who has the most to gain from his demise... all that stuff. Like I say, I'm only one show in, but I will keep at it.

Episode 6 was legitimately good *and* the fights finally got better. Everything to do with Ward's annoying ass and the company is still boring as hell, though. And it's seriously in need of more Harold, since Wenham is pretty damn good in that role.
It does get better as the series goes on, and there are a couple of really strong episodes, but overall it doesn't exactly leave you feeling like you spent your time wisely. Some extremely dodgy writing and set-ups.
Still optimistic for Defenders though, mostly because they're having a shorter episode run. Nearly all of these Netflix Marvel seasons have been spoiled by making each run too long for the material, necessitating a LOT of filler, and 24-style narrative meanderings (surprise, we're replacing the main villain 2/3rds of the way through) to justify the running time. Aside from Daredevil season 2, which had multiple barely-entwining main stories crammed into it, all of the shows have felt like 7-9 episode seasons stretched out to 13.

I thought Daredevil S1 and JJ (needless constant focus on Moss' divorce subplot aside) were both fairly solid on the pacing. DD S2 started out great, then descended into nonsense when the ninjas showed up. Luke Cage was uneven, and Iron Fist is just all over the map so far, but gravitating towards okay at best.
Just polished off the recent ITV legal/political thriller Fearless. Was a really good little series. Started out as a murder/courtroom drama but evolved into a conspiracy thriller as it went along. Kinda reminded me of the BBC classic Edge of Darkness in that regard. Worth checking out, although sadly it's off the ITV Hub now.
Bones Season 4 Episodes 1 and 2
The Mrs has been wanting to do a watch of Battlestar so we picked up the complete series recently and we burned through Season 1 yesterday. I forgot how much I enjoy the show. I still think it teeters off a little towards the end and you can kinda feel they don't know what they're doing but I still enjoy it.

Sandbaggers. Well done!
Parks and Recreation Season 7 Finale :-\
I finally got around the first season of True Detective.
It's a great atmospheric show ! It has a "mystical-depressed" mood to it that works wonders !
And the cast is phenomenal !
Oh and i also watched the fifth season of Prison Break because, why not ? It worked fine for me, i felt engaged in the story, and T Bag was fun !

Finished off Ken Burns' The Civil War the other night. It's a long trek, but packed full of interesting detail and information.
Slasher Episode 8
Finally found the last episode of this. Was great to finally see the end
Finding Carter Season 1 Episode 12
A great little series, bring on Season 2
I've been wanting to watch Man in the High Castle for ages now and finally got around to giving the pilot episode a go. And I really wasn't that impressed. I'm not sure why - I just found myself bored.
Also watched the first episode of The Orville the other day. It wasn't great. Nowhere near as funny as I'd hoped. Might give the next one a wack but if it doesn't pick up, probably wont bother with it much longer.

It is quite slow. A lot of Amazon shows seem to be like that. It's great when you dig the series because it feels fresh to have a programme that actually takes its time, but it's not so fun if you're just so-so on the show.
I also mentioned somewhere before that the peripheral stuff in
High Castle is far more interesting than the main characters. It does pick up though, and I thought the second season was far better.
Narcos season 3 👍
Been watching new episodes of:
American Horror Story: Cult
Based during last year's US Presidental election and outcome in a Michigan city. So far it's pretty good, with excellent writing. I have not watched any previous stories (seasons), but I am ready now.
Rick and Morty - Season 3
Over the summer I got into the show and this season is absolutely the best so far. Last week's episode was a question that keeps coming in your mind
Spoiler
When are they going to talk about Atlantis?!?!
that does get answered once the episode is over :P Have you watched Pickle Rick yet Corp Hicks?!?

Narcos season 3 👍
Finished it, although not quite as large scale as the first 2 seasons, season 3 was still a solid viewing and had me on the edge of my seat more then a few times
I myself am currently going through the Scream TV show and catching up on American Horror Story
Watched Edge of Darkness (the 80s BBC series, not the American film remake) with my missus, partly inspire by how the recent British show Fearless reminded me of it in style and tone. Great crime-meets-conspiracy thriller. Brilliant performances from Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker in the lead roles. Plus the soundtrack was done by Eric Clapton :)
Secrets of Isis
The Stand (1994) Parts 1-4
Works pretty well, outside of some meh directing and Molly Ringwald's terrible acting. And what the f**k was John Landis doing in this? He must have had a day off from Beverly Hills Cop III. :laugh:
Bones Season 5 Episodes 21-22
I know it went on more way more seasons, but it could have ended right here
Criminal Minds Season 7 Episode 24
Ozark (Netflix). Took me a while to warm up to this as I felt it was another Breaking Bad but that's rather unfair in hindsight.
Well acted, written and quite a brutal season ending.

This was great. Can't wait for the next season.
Zapped Season 2 Episode 1
Great to see this show back and thank god its a longer season than the first
Star Trek Discovery - Episode 5 - The F Bomb in Star Trek? Really? Seemed more like a try hard attempt by the writers to make the show relevant. Not coming off as a prude either but it came off as just odd.
Mind Hunter - Episode 2 - missus and I watched the first one and she insisted we give it another go (as my first impressions were a bit mixed). That said episode 2 was very good and I like the whole quirkiness and offbeat humour of the show given the very real dark material it highlights.

What a great series. If you get the chance, watch it. So many twists and turns its unbelievable
Just finished up the whole season of MindHunter yesterday and absolutely loved it! The acting, visuals and cinematography are second to none. It deserves the hype and the praise.

Rick and Morty Season 2 Episodes 1-2
This is a show that once I watched and understood it, I couldn't stop :laugh:
Yeah, Rick & Morty is pretty obsession-generating (for me at least).
Watched all the episodes twice in about as many weeks - started watching a third time but it'll kill the enjoyment to know them frame by frame.
It's the show I've been wanting for years, without realising it. There's so much inner life to it, and scope for analysis. The characters are multi-dimensional, and regularly develop or exhibit deeper layers. It's properly thought-through - future plot lines are set up beforehand, sometimes in ways you don't notice until repeat viewings. It's a comedy (and so goddamn funny), yet there's plot continuity. It's animated, so the imagination behind it can fully flex without worrying about budget. There are brilliant little details and references packed into most scenes, rewarding attentive viewing. The stories are smart, with sound logical reasoning. It can be really seriously messed up. And sometimes there's even pathos and an emotional beat to it.
You could reductively boil it down to a combination of Dr Who, Red Dwarf, Futurama and South Park. For me, it's the best that all those shows can be, and my favourite thing to watch right now.
Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman are two of the best animations that have come out in recent years. nothing else comes close
Guess I'll have to check out Rick & Morty.
Loved Bojack Horseman but the last season really went downhill.
I quite like F Is For Family. But that might be because of the time and setting.
Star Trek Discovery - Episode 7.
Reminded me of Cause and Effect. Probably my favourite episode so far (though the party scene made me cringe at first).
Upstart Crow Season 2 Episodes 4-6
Love this. Ben Elton actually takes a few shots at himself in one episode lol
The Walking Dead 8x02
Kinda boring at this point, they should consider ending the show soon.
Ghosted Season 1 Episode 1
Channel Zero Season 2: NoEndHouse Episode 1
Already very different from the creepypasta that inspired it. Really enjoying it so far
Stranger Things Season 2 - episode 2 & 3
Spoiler
Seeing Paul Reiser watch those little tele monitors and flick the off switch was a nice little Aliens moment when Burke does the same to the Med Bay camera monitor. Some big Carpenter Halloween references too. Love this show.
Fresh off the Boat Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2
A show very much in the style of The Goldbergs and Everybody Hates Chris, but with an Asian kid. The first episode was okay, but the second one was a vast improvement
Channel Zero: No End House
Preferred the first season even though I think that one's just ok. This one was too slow imo.
Ray Donovan - Season 5
Too much drama and flashbacks compared to previous seasons.
They should've just quit after season 4.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Started from the beginning. Quite alright mainly because of the cast and characters.
Unspeakable
One-off British Drama about a mum who gets an anonymous text saying that something is going on with her new boyfriend and her 11 year old daughter. Omg was this tense. It just built and built. The reveal at the end had my jaw hit the floor
Well, the rest of the family started watching The Wire S1, so I got off my ass and finished S2. It was pretty great, but maybe not quite on the level of the first. The show has definitely mastered writing season finales that are somehow both satisfying and frustrating at the same time. Funny how all of this was set off by a pissing contest over a window and McNulty f**king around with Rawls.

Babylon 5 - The Gathering
Pick have started showing Babylon 5 from the start (just as I finish season 5 on DVD) so it was great seeing this pilot and how different a lot of the characters looked, Especially Delenn (who was originally meant to be a male character). Only 5 actors/characters who were in this pilot appeared all the way through.
Babylon 5 Season 1 Episodes 1-2
Still love this show and Im happy they are showing it on UK TV for the first time in years
Hmm, if I'd known I would've started taping that. Always been something I've had a mild interest in seeing all the way through.
Well Im sure you can go online and catch up with it. Its on Pick in the UK, so would be online I think
Babylon 5 Season 5 Episodes 21-22
What a way to end such a great story. This is how finales should be done
Red Dwarf XII Episode 6

Fair point. Is Pick part of the Dave crowd?
As for myself, I've been thoroughly enjoying the latest series of
Robot Wars. It's still nothing like as much fun as it was when Craig Charles was presenting it off his nut on cocaine in the early 2000s, but this latest series seems to have recaptured a little of the over-the-top feel it had back when he was ringmaster, something that was largely (and sorely) missing from the first two revival series. It's definitely bringing back more fond teenage memories this time around.
Also they've had like three robots already this tournament that have been so powerful they've destroyed the supposedly indestructible arena the battles take place in :laugh:
Yeah its part of the Dave crowd of channels as far as i know. Youve got all weekend to catch up on The Gathering and the first four episodes :)

Started binge watching Bates Motel. Didn't care for the first episode but glad I gave it a chance anyway.
The Punisher - Season 1
I didn't like it that much because it wasn't what I hoped for.
But it's not that it was bad. Just too much drama and not enough punishing for my taste.
Still Game
Great comedy series from BBC Scotland about two old pensioners.
I just love this kind of humour.
Inhumans Episodes 1-4
While not the greatest series. its not as bad as its been made out to be. Would hope the characters would appear in a future AOS if it happens or at least the films.

Interesting start so far. It's not quite at the "holy f**k, what's gonna happen next" level of season three yet, but still good.
Harsh Realm episode 1
Well Chris Carter certainly dropped the ball with this series. What with the wooden lead and stupid use of slow mo. Ill finish it as its only 9 episodes, but bloody hell

Interesting. Let's see how it ends... Oh, and I marked out like crazy when the detention center I used to live down the road from made an appearance, with Omar around, no less. :)
Finished Season 4 of The Wire. It was very good, with a lot to recommend it. I do think it could have used a more central case, as none of that really kicked into gear until the last few episodes.

Wow. Just wow.

This one is pretty great so far, even if McNulty is taking one hell of a risk here. And apparently Omar learned how to fly... or fall with style, for that matter. :laugh:

Well I just finished off The Wire. Aside from about three episodes worth of plot packed into two, it was an incredibly satisfying ending. That final montage summed both the season and the whole series up just about perfectly. The 93 minute run time for the finale was pretty f**king ridiculous though. What is this, True Detective S2? :laugh: Although at least this show had five seasons and about a dozen characters to wrap up, where that... didn't. :laugh:
Spoiler
Omar's death was a little... not what I expected. He could easily have stuck around for at least one more episode. And I did get a laugh out of Method Man getting his head blown off. So much for Bulletproof Love. :laugh:
My favorite moments in the show :
Spoiler
Partlow f**king up Bug's old man. What a scene, i was speechless at the time.
Great way to make you kinda feel empathy for Partlow even when being the mean killing terminator that he is :laugh:
Spoiler
Marlo's ending scene. Absolutely perfect. You understand all of his "life philosophy" in one scene. The look on his face... PERFECT.

Dark
New German Netflix series.
3 episodes in, pretty great so far.
Mr Robot season 3 episode 1
Don't know why yet, but it doesn't amaze me like it used to.
Yeah, season 2 of Mr Robot was a tough thing to get through. Very slow and indulgent.
Season 3, though, has been amazing - about as good as TV gets. The point at which it really ramps up is the fifth episode, Runtime Error, which is a continuous shot in the style of Children of Men and Gravity. I've never seen anything like that attempted on TV before. The following episodes offer edge-of-seat tension and wrenching emotion, with a sweet Bill & Ted song thrown in for good measure.
I'll continue and see what's in store :)
Zoo Season 1 Episode 1
Finally being shown on freeview, so I can watch it from the start
Suburra
Modern day mafia series set in Rome.
Similar to Gomorra but this seems to focus more on other things.
3 episodes in, so far pretty good.
Twin Peaks season 1
I know i'm VERY late on this one, but better late than never... Hum... Where to start... It was very weird as expected, the music is fantastic, the actors are great, this show is of course filled with Lynch-esque shots and if you like his style you'll love it. I'm more lukewarm regarding his work (except for Elephant Man which i think is a masterpiece), but honestly this show has a bewitching vibe that is pleasant and disturbing (pure Lynch like i said).
I think i saw this too late, clearly it would've had another effect on me years ago, but it was interesting nonetheless. Don't know if i will dive into season 2 as of right now...
Ink Master Season 8 Episodes 1 and 2
Always fun this series. although i accidentally found out the winner lmao
Inuyashiki.
Anime from the author of Gantz (one of my favorite mangas of all time). Just been a few episodes in, and it's already amazing. I will probably read it too.

Z Nation
Started season 4. Not as good as it used to be but still alright.
El Chapo
Started season 2. Pretty good.
Harsh Realm Episodes 8-9
Well that's it for Chris Carter's third series. Typically, it was cancelled after the first three episodes aired and they were the worst three. It got so much better as it went along. If needed they could have used 3-4 more episodes and wrapped it up

The one that always gets me is our very own Michael Fassbender, who seems to be in it the whole way through but is only ever seen in brief glimpses as a background member of the unit.
I think I remember Pegg coming back in a later episode (albeit still just as briefly lol).
A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
Fantastic. utterly brilliant. Cant wait for next years :)
I didn't think it was as good as Peter Pan from last year, but yeah, that was really funny :)

I think because Peter Pan was so unexpected that's why it tops. I loved how they continued lots of elements from Peter Pan though
Band of Brothers E7-8
Finally spotted Fassbender. The helmet obscured him a bit, but that patchy beard and dodgy American accent were dead giveaways. :laugh:
I think I missed Hardy, though. I guess when he isn't bulked up, wearing a mouth mask, or pretending to be Patrick Stewart he blends in for me. :laugh:

Was it one of the Battle of the Bulge episodes? I have a feeling one of those is the only time he actually speaks to camera or gets any meaningful screentime lol. But last time I watched I spotted him in the training episode at the start, so I think he's in it the whole way through.

You haven't missed him, he shows up in the next one! Probably my favourite episode of the series. I won't spoil it, but be prepared.
Superstore Episode 1
An interesting comedy set in a Walmart type store. Glad America Ferrara is doing more after Ugly Betty
Watched Prison Break Season 5. It was quite bad and the only good season was the first one.

Yeah, he was in a foxhole in the episode where they attack Foy. And he later showed up in the Hagenau episode when the guy gets hit by a shell carrying potatoes.

There's Tom Hardy. One hell of an entrance, too. :laugh: And damn, those last two episodes were great.

I mentioned it already, but the penultimate episode about finding the concentration camps is my favourite of the series. It's awful to watch, but it's so fantastically well done.
I usually shed at least one tear every time I see it, and I'm not someone who ever cries at movies/TV shows.

Yeah, they pulled it off so well that I wasn't even thinking of the fact that Magneto was there. ;)
In other news, I've ordered The Pacific, and will probably start watching Deep Space Nine on Netflix.
Castle Season 7 Episode 23
If there wasn't another Season they could have ended it here. Its already wrapped up most things so
Derry Girls Episode 1
Absolutely brilliant. Great Irish comedy set in the 90's
X Files season 11 episode 1
Meh.
Deep Space Nine S1 E1 "Emissary"
Funny how Picard gets to be more dignified here than in his own pilot. :laugh:
Polished off season 1 of The Wire with me bird.
Even though I knew already it's one of the best things I've ever seen, I still found myself thoroughly impressed by just how good it is.
(She liked it too, so on to season 2 :P)
The Detectorists Season 3 Episode 1
Great to see this series return. Such a shame its the last series. hope Aimee-Ffion Edwards comes back later in the series
Inside No.9 Season 4 Episode 1
Great to see this series back too. and this episode was so different to what theyd done before. Perfect farce
Hard Sun Episode 1
Now that's how to do it. Gonna have to binge the rest lol
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit Season 16 Episode 1
Amazing how this series still has a lot of steam and shocks behind it. Love it
Gomorra
Started season 3. Little different but still quality tv.
I recommend it if you don't know it.
Fresh off the Boat Season 2 Episode 1
Great to have this back
Babylon 5 is something I've wanted to see ever since I was a child (I remember the trailer being on some VHS I had, and it's must've been something I watched a lot because I remember seeing the advert loads). Well, Pick have been screening it in the UK lately. I missed the first five or so episodes but I've been watching it since and I've quite enjoyed the first season. I like that it has more of a military feel to it than Deep Space Nine (a show I never got into) and I especially enjoy how it has more of an over-reaching story than most other shows from the period, with even little things from episodes being referenced later on.
Red Dwarf Season 11 - Love a bit of Red Dwarf.
Watching and enjoying The Orville - wasn't a fan of Discovery so this is filling my Trek hole.
Just finished watching The Expanse Season 2 again. I love this show, and Chrisjen Avasarala is the bomb.
Careful - proper spoilers in this clip, but it's everything I love about her.

Oh hey, that was the nun from Constantine. So far Leckie is two for two in associating with women from cancelled shows that I watched. :laugh:
Deep Space Nine S1 E5 "Captive Pursuit"
Interesting setup overall, but the last third could have been a better story all by itself. And O'Brien gets to be a badass, hell yeah.
Lethal Weapon Season 2 Episode 1
Shame that the ending of Season 1 was wrapped up so quickly. They could have got a couple of episodes out of it
Witless Season 3 Episode 1
Lol its all change, I didn't expect that
Sticky
Lol such a random animated series. featuring Tom Hardy hahahaha
The Pacific E5-7
Poor Tim. He survived all those dino attacks just to get stuck in the middle of this shit.
Deep Space Nine S1 E6-8
They did some interesting stuff in these episodes, like exploring the ramifications of the Trills. Too bad the Q episode was almost a total loss.
The Pacific E8-10
Not as good as Band of Brothers, but still pretty great in its own right. I do think it suffers a bit from a broader focus, but it mostly still works.
DS9 E9-10
One episode with a bunch of annoying gamers as aliens, and a Quark story that should have been better considering how cool Quark normally is.

There are two main problems with
The Pacific:
Firstly, unlike
Band of Brothers, it's based on a couple of individual guys' memoirs instead of a third-party book about the unit as a whole, so it boils down to these disparate individuals with no real connection rather than a cohesive group, which both makes it harder to follow who's doing what and less engaging as a whole.
Secondly,
Band of Brothers came first.
It's still a great show, but it's not in the same league as
BoB. Also it didn't help that out of the three main characters,
Spoiler
the one I really liked gets knocked out halfway through (Leckie) and the other one I liked is hardly in it (Basilone). That leaves Sledge as the focus of most of the episodes, especially in the second half, and I just didn't like him.

"You Hit Me. Picard never hit me"

I agree the Q episode while not the greatest (Season 1 was finding its feet) had some great moments between Q and Sisko, especially the one above
I binged "Hard Sun" on Saturday. It was great - ludicrous, but great.
Happy! - My mum's fella told me about this and it sounded mad as hell. And it is, love it.

Season 3 had to be rushed a bit, if I remember my special features correctly. They weren't pulling the views they wanted and had to wrap it up. Going into the series I had no idea it was so different from the Anthony Hopkins style. Mads really did something special with that character. One of the most well written and filmed tv shows I've ever seen. That season 2 finale was just beyond anything.
We need an HBO Vietnam series in the vain of BoB/The Pacific.

My only issue with Season 3 was how the first few episodes kept replaying bits from the Season 2 finale. Guys, we got the point the first time around.

That could be cool.
For ages now I've hoped they'd do a similar WW2 series about the Desert Rats, because they had a really interesting war - from Africa to Italy to Normandy and into Germany - but unfortunately the chances of Americans making a show about a British unit are practically zilch lol.
Superstore Season 1 Episode 11
A great series and Im happy that ITV2 is going straight into Season 2. Loved the ending lol
I just watched the new Toho animated Godzilla on Netflix and it looked great... but I just found the whole thing somewhat boring. Constant unrelated conversations about pseudo-science and faith, cliche predictable characters and just dull action. I love me some Godzilla, apart from the 1998 movie so I was a little surprised I didn't like it.
Superstore Season 2 Episode 1
Literally picks up where Season 1 ended. Nice. could have been the same season and we wouldn't have noticed
The X-Files Season 11 Episode 3.
That was more like it! This was straight out of vintage seasons 1-2 X-Files. Quirky monster of the week style episode with some truly great moments between Mulder & Scully.

I watched only teh first one episode, that was non sensical and rushed as the previous season, i will watch the whole season thought, glad it gets better.
I am currently watching Black Mirror season 4, i watched the third episode, so far is not as good as the first two seasons but not as weak as season 3.
Loudermilk
Comedy-drama about a recovering alcoholic and the support group he leads.
Not bad. Predictable in parts but the rest makes up for it.

So far not as funny as the US version but it feels less forced and "the wave" ain't present.

I agree.
I think the difference is because the first two seasons are British. They're more brutal and in your face compared to the American season 3 and 4.
Those seem diluted and less shocking than the first two.

Loving Britannia. A lot of Roman historians are getting their knickers in a twist over it, but I'm more of the "embrace the madness" with this show. It's glorious - it's like a Thespian Scenery Chewing Contest. Loving it.
Just watched the last fan-made 'Star Trek Continues'. Really well done and an enjoyable series all round.
Trying to get into 'Hell on Wheels' but I'm finding it hard going. It's not bad, but I'm finding it difficult to care about any of the characters. I guess I'm not in a western mood right now.

Hell on Wheels ironically does take a bit to get going. It really kicked in for me half way through season 1. Heyerdal and Meaney really grabbed me

Heyerdal is excellent, he played great characters in Sanctuary and SG: Atlantis, and I like Meaney in everything he does. I might put it on the backburner and come back to it when my mind isn't filled with starships.

Spoiler
I just got to the episode where he comes back (or reappears via vidlink, at least lol). Glad he didn't get completely nixed. The inter-season disappearance reeked of blatant recasting, so it's nice to know there was actually some thought behind it.
Happy

Spoiler
From what I read the reason they did it between seasons was because JMS, realised he couldn't have Sinclair involved in two big plotlines. One being the Shadow War, which they created Sheridan for and The Whole Minbari/Babylon 4 stuff. So he changed it between seasons. still think it should have been the Season 2 mid point it happened
Finished off season 2 of The Wire and into season 3.
Even though I always remembered it being the odd one out, I'd forgotten how disjointed the second season feels. It's still brilliantly made and executed, but it feels like it's missing something. I'd also forgotten how much things get right back on track with season 3.
I just finished watching 'The Toys That Made Us' on Netflix. It was pretty good, the He-Man episode was the best.
Now I've just started 'Myths & Monsters'. Not bad.
A few episodes into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a surreal sci-fi mystery starring Elijah Wood, based on Douglas Adams books.
It's utterly mad, seemingly random but with underlying order gradually becoming clear (which is kind of what the show's about too, agents basically governed by chaos theory). It's surreal to such a degree that it's pretty hilarious - if you got the joke with Jupiter Ascending then you'll definitely love it, but even if you didn't, there's a lot to like here. Lots of layers to the story, the universe and the characters themselves, which gradually become a bit more exposed with each episode. Looks and sounds great too.

I just finished watching 'The Toys That Made Us' on Netflix. It was pretty good, the He-Man episode was the best.
I loved that episode. It's the only one I watched because it's the only one I actually care about.
Quite looking forward to the next season featuring Lego and Transformers. My two other favorite toys from when I was a kid.
One other thing I wouldn't mind seeing is an episode on M.A.S.K.

The Transformers one will be ace, I'd love to learn more about how all that came about. I didn't collect many toys as a kid but I did have a lot of Star Wars and Transformers.

Same here. I'll always be amazed by the designs of those toys.
2 Broke Girls Season 6 Episodes 21-22
And this is where it ends. I know they had plans for Season 7 and approached Cher to play Max's long lost mother, but otherwise this actually works as a great place to end the story
I finished Star Versus The Forces Of Evil season 1 (Seriously).
Is good, not as great as Gravity Falls or Over The Garden Wall by example, is more aimed at kids and seems like a ripoff of these kind of show that are so usual now like Adventure Time or Steven Universe, the first episodes are not great, but as usual it gets much better and interesting, until it left me wanting to see how it continues. It has founds its personality and became more serious and layered, is kinda funny and i love the faces Star makes.
Blue Bloods Season 2 Episode 22
X-Files Season 11 Episode 1
So wait that's how they sorted out the cliffhanger?
Best of Dara O'Briain's Go 8 Bit
Lol brilliant
I'm on the last two episodes of Altered Carbon. I liked the book, I wasn't bowled over by it, but I think this show is fantastic. I've got a copy of Blade Runner 2049 on it's way to me and with Duncan Jones' MUTE out son, I'm having a dystopian cyberpunk meltdown.
Deep Space Nine S1 E13-15
So O'Brien has to play shaman, Kira has to hang out with an old hippie, and Rumpelstiltskin shows up. Uh, okay. At least Bashir getting friend zoned was hilarious, as well as the double Jadzias. :laugh:
Inside No.9 Season 4 Episode 6
What an episode. I love this series
Derry Girls episode 6
Witless Season 3 Episode 5
Both great endings to both series. Cant wait for a season 2 of Derry Girls and Witless was perfectly wrapped up. Great ending
The X-Files - S11E06
Good Episode about Skinner's past. Still a huge maniac of the show but not a huge fan of the tone of those two new seasons. Not enough dark and about Alien conspiracies.
Dara O'Briain's Go 8 Bit Season 3 Episode 1
Modus Season 2 Episodes 1-2
Crawford - episode 1
New series about an unusual family. It wasn't bad. Gonna see how this turns out.
Taken episode 1
An okay series so far, but I don't think it would have gotten made, if it wasn't a spin off of the movies
I recorded that, but I've not watched it yet. I don't hold out much hope it'll be any good, but I'm curious enough to at least give it a watch.
That's why I watched it. Curiosity
Crawford
Finished the first season. Overal better than average.
Worth checking out if you're into a comedy series about a weird family and raccoons.
Parks And Recreation
Finished The Office, weather still sucks so time for another viewing of Parks And Recreation.
Has less charm than The Office but still a solid series. Amy Poehler's just golden and Nick Offerman's character is one for the ages.
Training Day Episode 1
Really enjoyed this. Love that its set in the same world as the movie, rather than a random spin off. Bill Paxton is great. Much Missed
Superstore Season 2 Episode 21
And now i have to wait ages for Season 3
Blindspot Season 3 Episodes 1-8
What a way to swerve the story to get a third season. What games they play
Troy : Fall of a city - BBC 1
Decent first episode, bodes well. The lass playing Helen of Troy is stunning! I think I'd start a war over her.

I've heard
really mixed things about that. Thinking of giving it a go though.
As for myself, me and the missus have just polished off season 4 of
The Wire. I know the fourth season is the one that people always cite as the best... but it's honestly not my favourite. I don't like how there's no real central case to it - contrary to every other season - and the almost complete lack of McNulty drops the comedy factor by a big margin. I can't deny that it's magnificently made, and I'm certainly not saying I
don't like it, but I personally much prefer 1 and 3.

Stranger Things Season 1 & 2. 5 Stars!

I haven't been mentioning it, but I'm still working my way through the show. Just started season 3. When it's good, it's excellent, but I don't think I'm quite invested enough in the characters to really enjoy some of the more filler-y episodes. Liking it well enough but probably not something I'll feel any major desire to see again once I'm done.
Finished off the last season of
The Wire over the weekend. It doesn't sound like much, dropping from the planned 13 episodes to the 10 that ultimately got made, but you
really feel the reduced run time in the final season. Compared to the very deliberate pacing of previous years, some aspects of the story feel massively rushed this time, especially in the first half. Fortunately though, it seems to rectify this somewhat towards the end and I really like the finale with its "the more things change the more they stay the same" message. Remains my least favourite season though. The central plot just feels kinda ridiculous compared to the grounded realism of the others, and, great as it is to have douchebag McNulty back, it feels to me like his switch from sobriety back to raging drunk is both jarringly sudden and a little excessive - his escapades go above and beyond anything we've seen before. Still, even with those flaws, I can't harp on it too much, because it's still stellar TV that piles on the drama and black comedy like few other shows can.
Also I'm so glad
Spoiler
Bubbles got a happy ending :) I couldn't remember what happened to him from the first time I watched, so it was really great to see him on the up by the end of the series.
I also got around to watching the first episode of
Training Day. Ironically, this suffered from the same major problem as season 5 of
The Wire - it was so damn rushed. It felt like something that was originally twice as long that had been haphazardly cut down to a 45-minute slot, at the expense of any real character development, tension-building or even coherence. It's a shame because Bill Paxton was great in the main role, and I always get a kick out of Joaquim de Almeida cropping up as a Hispanic drug kingpin, but I got the impression that had this been a less hyperactive feature-length episode or even a two-parter, it would've been exponentially better. Hopefully things will calm down a bit in subsequent episodes.

Amazing when you look up JMS' career how much stuff he's been involved with that I love (the old Masters of the Universe cartoons spring to mind).
Similar to Mark Verheiden nowadays ... hard to believe he wrote those original Aliens' comics for Dark Horse back in the day.
Married With Children
Started from the beginning.
I just started (finally) Breaking Bad.
HuDa - Hard Sun is glorious. It's utter TV drama nonsense, but the two leads work their proverbials off to sell it. There's an Irish comedienne in it too - Asling Bea - and I kept thinking "I know her, I know her" - when I did google the thing I was amazed it was "that Irish comedienne of off "A League of Their Own." Her performance is fantastic.

Yeah, I was aware she was in it. Don't think I've ever seen her do anything serious before so that was another reason I was curious.

I'm enjoying it so far, it's pretty good.
Oh it's certainly a good show. I'm not trying to imply it's rubbish.
But it's a long way from being one of the best series I've ever seen.
I think Tuco is in Alien Resurrection.
Bryan Cranston is always great but I like him the most in Malcolm In The Middle.
Started watching Santa Clarita Diet.
Netflix series I overlooked starring Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore as a happy family in the suburbs.
But Drew Barrymore becomes a concious zombie.
Quite alright so far.
Jessica Jones Season 2
Very good so far.
That 70's Show
Started again. One of my all time favorite series.
Red and Kitty are probably the coolest tv parents ever.
Too bad That 80's Show failed. They should give that another try.
Just finished the first season of "Fear the walking Dead". Picked the Blu-ray up back on black Friday for next to nothing. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Not the best show either. Currently working my way through Married with Children. Then it's on to Transformers: The complete original series. I guess I'm temporarily on a "days of my youth" binge.
Criminal Minds Season 8 Episode 24
Guest starring Mark Hamill :D
Brooklyn Nine Nine Season 5 episodes 1 and 2

Hell's Kitchen Season 17 episodes 1 and 2
I didnt realise it had been that many seasons, although they do do two seasons a year i think? Its All Stars so past contestants are back. Awesome. Most i do remember
Homeland Season 7 Episode 4
Carrie Mathison (Clare Danes) is one of the most intriguing, frustrating and infuriating characters in a show I've ever watched. Great episode! Explosive!.
Working on Season 2 of Jessica Jones. It's pretty good so far, and the subplots are better integrated this time around. The central plot isn't as immediately compelling as Kilgrave was, but it's far from bad.

Made the mistake of thinking "That Californication looks fun." Have ditched "Breaking Bad" in favour. I'm loving this show, its beyond awesome.
Look, I'm hooked on DC Legends and Supergirl (I'm a fan, what can I tell you), but for grown up entertainment - accept no substitutes. 10/10 so far.
The family has started watching I, Claudius. It's good.
Finished
Santa Clarita Diet.

Thought Californication was great. Humour, good music, drugs, nudity,...
The last season was lame and unnecessary but until then I really enjoyed the show.
And Rob Lowe was awesome in this.
I'm only a few eps into season 1 - but looking forward to that :)
Classic Albums - U2: The Joshua Tree
Must have missed this one the first time round when it was shown. Absolutely great
More Married With Children.
Halfway through season 2. The whole "a shoe salesman is a terrible and sad job" is starting to becoming a thing.
And Buck is probably the coolest looking (tv) dog ever.
A.P. Bio, episode 5
Started out kinda fun and original but it's becoming average.
I, Claudius Part 3
"I don't feel that way about the games, I feel that way about paying for them!"
Brian Blessed is clearly having fun playing Augustus. :laugh:
The Ranch, season 2 part 2
Better than average series held up by a good cast. Nice to see Kurtwood Smith again. Too bad Danny Masterson (Hyde) is going to leave involving hashtag metoo related things.
Still Game is back on.
If you don't know this series, at least check it out.
It's proper dry folksy humour and the dialect is just a treat.
Channel Zero season 3 is finished.
Gonna start watching soon. Season 2 wasn't that great and quite slow but still intersting enough to keep watching.
Even though I'm not big on weird abstract horror.
Boris Karloff's "Thriller".
Forged In Fire Season 3 Episode 15-16
Ricky Gervais - Humanity
Solid stand-up comedy special with some proper brilliant jokes.
One minor thing though, he talks about animal rights for a teenie bit but during he mentions this terrible thing.
And the last thing I want during stand-up comedy is made aware of animal cruelty.

Constantine: City of Demons E1-5
Yeah, this is not even close to a continuation of the live action series. It only has Matt Ryan in common. And it looks like they pulled a Castlevania and only gave us half a season.
Krypton - Pilot
That was okay, I guess. Not really sure if this series can last for very long, though.
Amazon is finally streaming The Sarah Silverman Program for a reasonable price, so I've been giving it a watch for the first time since season 2 aired nearly a decade ago.
Season 3 is quite patchy, it's not too surprising that it was cancelled. And the first season takes a while to hit its stride too. But when it's on form, it's absolutely hilarious. Totally mad, often pretty edgy.
Interesting note is that the creators of Rick and Morty both worked on the show, and you can sometimes see a similar writing style at work. Dan Harmon is literally credited as co-creator, and Justin Roiland pops up in quite a few episodes.
Babylon 5 Season 4 episode 22

Oh Carrie, Carrie ... an episode on how to completely screw things up. Big time! However once again I find that Mandy Patinkin is carrying the show.

Whoooooaaaa BUNDY!I watched the first season of Family Guy yesterday, man I miss their writing from those times. I remember watching the pilot live right after Super Bowl XXXIII thinking, I hope this takes off. The animation is very primitive, but the delivery is great. "We're officially on welfare! Cmon kids, help me scatter car parts on the front lawn." :laugh:

Yeah, I don't understand why they changed their writing style. After two cancellations, you'd think they'd stick to their formula.
Last two episodes didn't even have cut-away-gags. That's one of the things I love most. Just insane but funny unrelated jokes that always start with something like "Just like that time..." or "This is just like when...".

Having shown her
The Wire, I'm now introducing my girlfriend to the re-imagined
Battlestar Galactica. It's my third time through, I think, but it's still refreshing to remember what an excellent show it was. Superbly interesting characters, great acting, fantastic atmosphere, brilliant music, and for the most part the mid-2000s TV-level CGI still holds up reasonably well. Sure it got a bit weird towards the end but I remember it sorting itself out in its final run of episodes and I enjoyed the finale a lot. We're about a third of the way through season 2 at the moment.
Like me, she didn't think she'd be interested when I first told her about it, but if anything, she seems to be enjoying this show even more than
The Wire, judging by how I'm regularly receiving messages telling me she's desperate to see the next episode and threatening to do it without me :laugh:
SeaQuest DSV (SeaQuest 2032) Season 3 Episode 1
This needed to be a two parter as well. Love reading the behind the scenes stuff about this season. That one of the cast from Season 2 wanted to come back for Season 3 and another wanted to leave, so what did they do? They killed off the one who wanted to come back and made the one who wanted to leave return lol
Watched a couple of episodes from the latest X-Files season.
Stories are quite weak so far.
Watched the first episode of an anime called The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. It was actually pretty f**king hilarious. :laugh:
X-Files
Finished season 11. One of the weakest so far.
Wish they would drop the whole alien conspiracy storyline and go with seperate cases.
High Maintenance
Not great but not bad either.
Plebs Season 4 episodes 1 and 2
Yeah this series has really lost its spark now. Its not as good as the first two series
Transformers Season 3 Episodes 1-7
Still so good after all this time. The Season 3 Theme is always cool to hear

Yeah I stopped watching midway through the last season, not bothering with this one. Not sure if they had a change in writing staff or just ran out of jokes to tell, but IMO Plebs really needs to finish. I think it already would have done on any other channel, but ITV very rarely draws new audiences.
American Gods Season 1 Episode 1
Well that was really good. It's been a while since I've read the book, but this seems to be following it fairly closely. Ian McShane is pitch perfect as Wednesday, too. But he's always awesome, so that's to be expected.
Roseanne (the new season)
Yep, it's official... 100X better than the old seasons. However, I'm kinda creeped out by the house looking exactly the same :o
The Terror, episode 1 to 5
So far I love it. It's slow but really good and addictive. I might be biased since I have a thing for snowy, icy, arctic horror.
The vibe is a little similar to The Thing but with a larger group of people and without the alien angle.
It makes me long for a direct At The Mountains Of Madness adaptation.
This reminds, there's a Lovecraftian 30min horror short circulating the festivals called Sound Of The Deep.
About a ship in the Antarctic discovering a signal or something. Supposed to be quite good.

Didn't read the book but I love the series. Can't wait for season 2.
Ian McShane is awesome indeed. I'm still surprised he doesn't get more and better parts.
I remember McShane from back in the days of Lovejoy (can pretty much guarantee no one outside of the UK will know what I'm on about with that one lol). Really glad he seems to have had a bit of a Hollywood career renaissance in the last decade or so, he crops up in everything now and he's always entertaining to watch.

I think once the original two girls left it lost more of the ensemble feel. And the fact the guy who played Stylax (aka Shredder) didn't come back for Season 4 (and aside from Grumio he was the funniest one) says alot
I've started watching '
The Following' starring Kevin Bacon:
QuoteA brilliant and charismatic, yet psychotic serial killer communicates with other active serial killers and activates a cult of believers following his every command.
Been out a while but only just discovered it.
Also watching

I'm 3 episodes in. It's really good so far ;)
The Terror, episode 6 to 10
Second half wasn't as good as the first. It's certainly not bad but I felt there was someting lacking.
Perhaps some stronger dialogue, I don't know.
Overal a solid series.
Again, the setting is so good for horror movies. I just love it.
Don't know how impractical or expensive it is, but why isn't there more icy horror.

Lost in Space
Having grown up watching the original series I was rather keen to see where they took this one.
2 Episodes in I don't mind it. Still remains to be seen how Parker Posey goes as Dr Smith (You Ninny!!!).
Billions Season 3 Episodes 1-3
Intriguing where this is going, but I think they could have ended it with Season 2. Hopefully this doesn't fall apart
Dara O'Briain's Go 8 Bit Season 3 Episode 10
The Walking Dead, season 8
Liked it more than the previous one but still plenty of facepalm moments.
In addition to the usual dumb decisions by characters, we got silly swearing by Negan now.
The shows rated M, but the guy can't say f**k or any variations. It's painful to watch.
American Dad
One of the better episodes of the current season.
Bullock, voiced and drawn in the image of Patrick Stewart:"The kids call me Professor X."
Stan "Because you sound and look like Professor X from the X-Men?"
Bullock "No, because I sell them xtc!"
Supernatural Season 13 episode 1
"I Love Nougat"
Salamander: Blood Diamonds Seasons 2 Episodes 1-2
Great to have this series back. Its been a few years since season 1 but its been worth the wait
The Terror
Season 1 Episode 2.
Really getting into this now. Brilliant strong cast and well written. I've read about parallels with the Thing and I can see why.
Finished Californication. Loved every show.

Besides the humour, I thought it had a lot of heart too.
The Closer * * * * *
I often revisit this series I love the varied personalities of the cast. ;D
NCIS Season 14 Episode 1
Feels weird without DiNozzo but like the new mix
Taken Season 1 Episode 10
This series vastly improved as it went on. Bring on Season 2
I'm currently rewatchin TMNT 2012 and I'm on season 4 right now and this season's really a mixed bag, especially during the Turtles In Space arc. I hate how much they dumbed Casey Jones character this season compared to the last 2. He's basically a second Michelangelo for the rest of the show which is quite annoying. I still love this show though, even with its flaws.
The Terror
Season 1 Episode 3.
Wow. Talk about slow burn and then bam!!!

That was it for me too, Marlon. Despite all the language, tits, arse, masturbation, shagging, drinking and drug taking, at it's heart it was a really sweet story and no stage dipped it's toe into nihilism or did anything that was cruel for cruel's sake. Even when his producer mate slipped off, they brought him back in later episodes.
It's really up there with my all time favourites.
Seaquest DSV Season 3 Episode 13
And that's where it ends. which is a shame as this season was really picking up and it really gave an idea of the Season's end game as well
The Terror
Episode 4 & 5.
Finally got to see big ol nasty! Didn't disappoint.
Donald Duck
Found a bunch of old cartoons online, from the 40's and 50's.
I just love the classic cartoon style.
^If any Looney Tunes are on, everything else is ignored.
I remember the days when Cartoon Network used to show Looney Tunes all the time.
I love Looney Tunes.
Too bad a lot of them got pulled out of circulation because they're considered offensive now. Like some Foghorn Leghorn cartoons. And Heckle & Jeckle.
I read that most black people were in favor of keeping them around too show how the world was back then.
They thought "deleting" them was worse because that's pretending it didn't happen.

My brother still has about 9 old VHS tapes full of the original Looney Tunes cartoons he taped off the TV during the early 80s. We used to watch them all the time. Some absolute classics in there. They were pure adult satire that probably went over most kids heads at the time.
Like you said though in this progressive era they are considered way to old school thinking.
Road Runner was always my favourite, closely followed by Tom & Jerry.
Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half Century I always loved. But that was because I always watched Buck Rodgers on BBC2, so I think I got it more lol
Transformers Season 3 episodes 28-30
The Return of Optimus Prime I used to have on VHS. great 2 parter. The story would make a great proper movie
Transformers Season 4 Episodes 1-3
Well essentially the 3 part American finale. Rebirth. Headmasters, Targetmasters, new characters. Scorponok. F*** Yeah. went out on a High
Tex Avery has some great ones too. Like

Seen this?
Lost in SpaceSeason 1 Episode 7.
Ok this show started out promising but has turned into a rather boring, tepid affair to be honest. It's way too grounded in reality where as I feel the bold, vibrant fantasy sci-fi of the original TV show and 98 film would've suited better.
Spoiler
The whole premise of the original show was a family stranded, isolated in space. The fact this series has other families stranded makes it feel a lot less other worldly and not as desperate. It feels like colonists on the wild frontier.
Another thing is the fact it's trying oh so hard to emulate the `real' science of shows like TNG by having the mother solving everything with her rocket science nous. I'm no misogynist but man the father (who is ex military) is made to look rather useless at times. Yay for the SJW cliche. Gets very boring, very quickly.
Lastly Posey Parker is really bloody annoying. Her Dr Smith isn't half as interesting as those served by Jonathan Harris or Gary Oldham.
That said it's a good cast and the kids and Don West are interesting enough.
Anyway it better pickup soon or I'm giving it the flick.
I loved it, personally.

Hell's Kitchen Season 18 episodes 15-16
Babylon 5 Season 5 Episode 22
The end of the story and one of the best final episodes ever. Just fantastic. although pick could have saved it as they are showing the 4 remaining TV movies (no word on Excalibur yet) that take place between episode 21 and 22 of this season. They did the other TV movies in the right place only to fall at the final hurdle lol
Ash Vs Evil Dead, season 3, episodes 1-5
Groovy, baby!

It's good but complicated - you need to stay on point I've found. Maybe that says more about me than the complexity *lol*. I'm really enjoying it though, I'd recommend a watch for sure.
Superstore Season 3 Episode 1
Glad this is back.
American Crime Story Season 2: The Assassination of Gianni Versace Episode 9
What a fantastic series. Cant wait for the next series and see what story they tell there
-Ash Vs Evil Dead - Season 3
Too bad it got cancelled but at least it got a decent ending.
Bruce Campbell said it was the last we'll ever see of Ash. I'm sorta ok with it. As long as he does other entertaining stuff.
-Married With Children
I'm approaching the last season. Not as good anymore but still good.
-BBC Civilizations
Civilizations shown through their artwork. Pretty cool stuff.
And at times you can clearly see the influences they used for the Engineers.
Slasher Season 2 Episode 1
Great return of this Anthology series. Surprised how quickly certain bits were revealed but it leads to interesting possibilities
Star Trek The Next Generation Season 4 Episode 26
Lets Get Physical Episode 1
Wasn't sure about this initially, but as the episode went on it won me over
Star Trek The Next Generation Season 5 Episode 1
Love Gowron's Bug eyes lol
Transformers Season 1 Episode 14-16
The Strain Season 4
Glad i finally got to see this since it wasnt shown on UK TV, but it was available in Sky boxsets
The Last Man On Earth - season 4
It's ok but it needs to be funnier.
The Mrs recently got addicted to Grey's Anatomy. I enjoyed the first season well enough but it's now just constant drama (we just finished Season 3). It needs to take a damn breath every now and again.
Car Share Unscripted
A fantastic two hander. Its just perfect
X-Files Season 11 Season Finale.
Great ending to a much stronger season than Season 10. The show has got it's mojo back - still some misses but some very good hits too.
The Good Place Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2
Ive been wanting to watch this series on Netflix for ages and im finally glad ive started it now. Its brilliant and Ted Danson is a Storm
Taskmaster Season 4 Episodes 1 and 2
Family Guy Season 9 Episodes 1-5
Well its Season 9 according to the DVD anyway lol
Mozart in the Jungle, season 4 ... unfortunately the series has been cancelled. I will suffer in silence :'(
The Last Man On Earth - Season 4
Finished it. Quite average overal.
Read it got cancelled and I can understand. They wasted too much potential and turned it into something too regular.
The Simpsons - most recent episode
Meh...
The later seasons are the worst. Out of twenty something episodes, maybe 5 are good, 5 ok and the rest just boring.
They should make another, perhaps adult, version. Put the kids in high school. Maybe retire Homer so he has more time for crazy antics. I dunnow.
Salamander Season 2: Blood Diamond Episodes 9-10
Atlanta Season 1 Episodes 1-2
Family Guy Season 9 Episodes 11-15
(According to the DVD anyway lol)
Training Day Episode 13
A great ending. and Bill Paxton is a storm. Still sadly missed
The Good Place Season 1 Episodes 11-13
What a fantastic series and a great ending. Straight on to Season 2
Finished off season 4 of Babylon 5 the other day. My TV box did a brain fart and failed to record any of the final series, so I'll be stopping here for now. Still, the conclusion actually worked as a finale (as rightly Hicks pointed out, they thought they were getting cancelled), so I'm less mad than I would've been if it had finished on a cliffhanger. I enjoyed it, but probably not something I'll watch again. I don't think watching it alongside another run through the new Battlestar Galactica really helped it, because that show deals with a lot of similar subject matter and I consider it to be cut above.
Also my preconceptions of B5 were seriously warped by a trailer that used to be on a VHS I remember watching endlessly as a child (I think it might've been on some Red Dwarf tapes) - anyway, the trailer really made it seem as though the shadow war was basically the entire point of the show, so I was majorly confused when that got wrapped up near the start of the penultimate season lol. Kinda threw me off everything after, although I started to get back into it towards the end.
With that done, I've started on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Despite loving it, I've never really watched it religiously or in any order before, so this is essentially my first time through. Amazing how good it is right from the pilot episode.
Lecherous postscript: I never thought Stephanie Beatriz looked as good in real life when she's not doing the angry Rosa bit, but she smiles more in these early episodes and manages to remain smoking hot. Not even sure why that's important.
Barry - season 1
Recent HBO series about a hitman with a burnout.
Quite alright.
Silicon Valley - season 5
Better than the last one. The absence of TJ Miller doesn't have an impact all.
The Blacklist - season 5 about halfway through
Also better than the previous one. James Spader owns his role.
The Good Place Season 2 Episodes 1-2
The Big Bang Theory Season 11 Episode 24
Humans Season 3 Episode 1
Started watching Noel Clarke's new buddy cop series
Bulletproof last night.
The awful
Lethal Weapon series could do with taking a long, hard look at this. Sure, not all the jokes fire and it's ridiculous as hell (this show won't let silly little things like the fact British detectives don't walk around with Glocks under their arm get in the way of a good shootout on a London street!), but the leads have a hell of a lot more charisma, are vastly more interesting and have a far better script to work from than the
Weapon series. And despite the present-day setting, it feels decidedly 80s at heart. For instance, this is the kind of show where the leads can just break into a villain's house and have a snoop around on a hunch, and the worst their superior officer will do in response to them ignoring shit like warrants and due process is tell them how naughty they've been. Then let them go and shoot everybody involved.
Been a while since I've seen something this unashamedly entertaining on TV.

Bugs me that once again they're showing Humans while Westworld is running. It's very jarring to watch them both together, and I thought Humans was pretty patchy last season, so I'll be waiting until Westworld's done for the year until catching up with Humans.
The Lethal Weapon show now has to deal with f**king Stifler playing Riggs. They have bigger problems. :laugh:

The best episode of this season, but too little too late sadly. Im definitely done with this
Star Trek: TNG.
what can I say, I like watching re-runs of star trek sometimes an when theres nothin else on, it's always entertaining.
Benidorm turns out to be quite good.
Does make me wanna go on vacation at a sunny all-inclusive resort.
Married with Children - Season 7 episode 10
Death of a Shoe Salesman
Another series I finished lately - Training Day. Sadly I wasn't that impressed. Much like the Lethal Weapon series, it was mostly just generic. Bill Paxton was decent but he honestly didn't have a lot to work with, and everything else about the show was entirely forgettable. Big shame.
Also watched the Miami Vice pilot, "Brother's Keeper". Been meaning to have another run through this show - one of my all-time favourites - for a while and I finally caved last night. Some of the acting from the supporting cast is a touch ropey at times, but it's dripping with that unmistakable style and I was impressed with just how well-shot some of it is - there's some amazing, very movie-like cinematography. It also practically invented the practice of playing out scenes to a musical soundtrack... and how prevalent is that now?
All that said... as great as this episode is, it really only hints at how utterly excellent the show could be later on.
Incidentally, there's supposedly a modern remake of Vice in the works, too. As something that's dear to me, I really hope they do a better job of it than Lethal Weapon and Training Day.
I usually supernatural or horror shows, so recently I have been watching Wynonna Earp, its actually quite funny but the "revenants" are not exactly tough.
The Good Place Season 2 Episodes 12-13
A fantastic series I cant wait for Season 3 now
Yeah, The Good Place is great. Not something to come to mid-season though, there's a tonne of narrative in there.
I just watched the latest Silicon Valley. Finally a really funny episode for the first time this season, aaaaand... It's the season finale. Second really disappointing season in a row, but this episode almost makes it worthwhile. Really, they need to keep the quality on this level for longer or just finish the show IMO.
Gotham Season 3 Episode 1
Finally able to watch this season thanks to Netflix. Ill just be behind for awhile lol
Blindspot Season 3 Episodes 19-22
They really have stretched this series beyond where they needed to
Fortitude Season 1 episode 3
I love Stanley Tucci!!! I think my love of Carpenter's The Thing always makes any thriller set in a remote frozen environment a winner for me.
Arrested Development
Watched a few episodes of the new season. Quite average so far.
Nothing fun happened yet and I'm bored to death with the Trump related stuff.
Fortitude
The more I get into this show the more it opens up from a simple who dunnit to a more sinister, viral outbreak type of show. It's start to riff ever so subtlety on The Thing in it's paranoia and who to trust.
The netflix "Wild Wild Land" documentary. Engaging stuff...

I know and it is actually both the fans (well some of them) and starz fault, Starz for having a geo-retricted app which limits viewers and the fans for illegally downloading it.
Bruce Campbell said in an interview that if AVED got cancelled there could be a forth movie but his most recent statements when addressing fan efforts to get AVED uncancelled, is that he has retired from the character. Which sucks big time but it is his decision and it is understandible if he wants to do newer things.
MASH - Season 7 Episode 21: Rally Round the Flagg Boys.
One of my favorites. Edward Winter, just killin it as Flagg.
The Last O.G.

Expected this to be funnier but still quite alright.

Kevin Can Wait Season 2 Episode 1
I lost interest in this towards the end of the first season, but I only watched this to see how they wrote out the wife. So we get a 1+ year time jump and she's dead but we don't know what happened and they've brought in his ex-wife from King of Queens to play his old partner, who wasn't referenced last season. WTF lol
Law and Order Special Victims Unit Season 16 Episode 23
The Magicians Season 3 Episode 1

Now im actually excited for Season 4 lol
Legion Season 2 Episodes 1-3
Still as Bats**t crazy as Season 1
The Sopranos
Long time since I saw this. Gonna skip the final season this time though.
Still holds up. Just the characters of Paulie an Silvio alone make it worth watching. Doctor Milfi ain't bad either.
And the soundtrack's pretty good too.
Westworld S2. Slow start but really interesting now. I'm intrigued as to where it's leading, going into the last few episodes.
Been watching Mark Strong's new spy thriller Deep State. It's a total Bourne/Night Manager rip-off that's not really on the same level of awesomeness as either of those (provided you only count the really good Bourne movies), but as always Strong is eminently watchable - and takes no shit. You would've thought people might have realised ahead of time that messing with his family is an obviously bad idea. The basic plot may be generic as all hell, but the underlying mystery is labyrinthine enough to keep me interested. I believe it's scheduled to air in the US in the near future, for anyone across the pond.
Oh yeah, it also has some AVP connections - William Hope appears as an ambitious US senator, while Karima McAdams (aka Karima Adebibe, the flashback sacrificial maiden from the first AVP) plays one of the main spy characters.
Slasher Season 2 Episode 8
Bull Season 2 Episode 1
Charmed season two episode twenty-two. I used to watch this series a lot, recently rewatching them.
They are remaking it and it will be out sometime this fall on sundays.
Lets Get Physical Episode 8
Shame this is already over. The last two episodes felt really rushed
Currently rewatching Lost. Such a great show. I was so young when I started this the first time that I've forgotten quite a bit.
Also, the premiere of Yellowstone. Created by Taylor Sheridan (writer of Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River) and starring Kevin Costner. It was pretty solid, I'm hooked so far.
Im gonna break my rule of just talking about beginning and ending episodes of a season to bring this perfect Episode some more love
Star Trek TNG: Season 6 Chain of Command

The Bridge - Season 1 Episode 6

Ok, but not as good as the first one. There are too many episodes, the episodes are too long, there's too much drama,...
Cooking On High - episode 1
15 minute cooking show where weed is always an ingredient.
Short, informative and a bit fun.
Tomorrow probably starting on Westworld season 2.

Hooten and The Lady Episode 1
A fun show has an Indiana Jones/Romancing the Stone vibe
Wild, Wild Country
Netflix docu series about a cult.
Interesting so far.
Edit: finished. It was good but a tad too long.
Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee
Documentary movie about McAfee anti-virus creator.

John Adams Part 1 "Join or Die"
Overall excellent, even if it goes way overboard depicting Samuel Adams and John Hancock as vile thugs. The treatment of the Boston Massacre is the highlight of the episode, IMO.
Lethal Weapon Season 2 Episode 22
Family Guy Season 10
Law and Order Special Victims Unit Season 1 Episodes 1-4
John Adams Parts 2-4
The further this gets away from the well known Revolutionary stuff, the better it gets IMO. And hey, Micro and Shitty Moriarty showed up in the same episode. :laugh:
Sharp Objects: Episode 1.
First episode in this new miniseries from the director of Big Little Lies (fantastic, btw) and based on the novel by Gillian Flynn (who wrote Gone Girl), she also does writing for the series. Amy Adams portrays an emotionally and physically scarred reporter who returns to her hometown to investigate the murders of two young girls. She has to deal with her issues she had as a child as well as try to deal with her overbearing mother. Adams does fantastic work here. The show is a slow burn and it's very dark. The direction and cinematography is top notch as well. I'm very excited for the rest of the season to fold out. HBO looks like it will definitely have some more Emmy space it'll need to add come next year.
John Adams Parts 5-7
And it ends even better than it began. The last Part in particular is an intensely moving look Adams' later years. And they actually had the audacity to work the line "For God's sake John, sit down!" into the dialogue during a dramatically intense scene. It totally worked, too.
Humans Season 3 episodes 6-8
Damn, what an ending. Cant wait for Season 4
Westworld season 2
Binging Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

I used to watch (Roman) warrior type movies for that sort of action. When we got the Spartacus series everything changed.
It totally delivered and now everything else in the genre seems lame by comparison.
I'm a bit of a Gladiator nerd as I did a lot of research on them. OK, in Spartacus, the violence is really comic book, but the kit they use is surprisingly accurate. They had some balls to put the Murmilllo and Thracian in their actual helmets, thus obscuring the two leads (OK, we have "in-helmet cam" and they lose the helmets at the earliest opportunity, but still, kudos for that.
I really love the faux Shakespearean language they use - I've just finished Season One - I've not seen the rest before, so looking forward to it.

Yeah, someone once decided ancient Romans spoke old English and I guess it stuck.

I'm on to season 2 now... have to say that Liam McIntyre is a weaker Spartacus than Andy Whitfield. That said, the guy had huge sandals to fill - Andy was awesome.

I always liked Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine, he was a real eye opener for many places.
Halfway into Season 5 in my Lost rewatch (well I only originally got up about halfway into Season 3 when it was originally on air) and I'm loving it. Getting closer and closer to the end. It's a shame a lot of these actors never broke out into film or had another tentpole show. Naveen Andrews (Sayid) and Matthew Fox (Jack) should have done so much more.

Better Call Saul
The new season premiered this week and the opening episode was a good one. It wasn't anything mind blowing but it definitely sets up Jimmy to go full Saul Goodman this season. Really excited to see his fall into the lawyer we all know and love.
Mike's story is getting good too. I'm also glad we're going to get even more Gus this season. So good to have him back.

I'd given up on TWD so this is good to read. I've even given up on the comics to be honest (after 175 issues) ... it's just seems like they lurch from one outsider group out to get them to another. TBH Negan was the only really interesting character in the comics and show of late.
FTWD works so much better now because the characters are super interesting. Even the cinematography is much better than TWD. Season 4 was practically a reboot and it's all the better for it.

We're only about halfway through Season 1 but I'm really enjoying it so far. I don't tend to watch many law dramas but when I do I usually end up enjoying well enough. I think it's gonna be a struggle to ever be more entertaining than Boston Legal though.
The first couple of seasons of Suits are also well worth watching if you're into legal shows. Near-zero courtroom stuff, but it can be very funny and is refreshingly free of a formulaic structure.
Whitechapel. Mainly started watching 'cos Phil 'Kevin' Davis stars in it, but got hooked. Got stranger as the series went on and started to tread clise to supernatural aspects, but never got a proper conclusion unfortunately.
Phil Davis is great.
He was in an excellent drama a few years back where he played an Essex gangster kingpin who gets Alzheimer's. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called now.

Not normally overly fussed by music documentaries, but this one's excellent. Gives a good oversight of their entire career. Some really emotional moments towards the end, as you'd expect. One particular highlight was old man Brian May going back to UCL where it all started!
I was watching on the Blu-ray, and for the first time I dipped into the special features afterwards - there are some outtakes from the documentary focusing on stuff that got trimmed for time, and I have to say some of it was really worth a look. In particular they fleshed out a few of the 80s albums that were otherwise only briefly touched upon.

It's about a band of studio musicians who worked on tons of hits from the 60's and 70's.
Probably my favorite music documentary.
The Oasis Supersonic one is pretty good too.
But it's incomplete when it comes to the full history of the band, like the recordings of their later albums.
There are a couple of good ones on The Beach Boys, but I'm biased because I'm a fan.
Gimme Shelter about the Rolling Stones and the incident with the Hell's Angels is another good one.
I could go on ;D

Nope. Like I say, I'm not really big on music documentaries. I've only ever seen a few, most of which have come packaged with box sets I've bought.
And like you with the Beach Boys, I'm probably biased about this one because Queen are my favourite band of all time :)
Alone Together
Finished season 1. I quite like it.
It's not great but there's something to it.
El Chapo
Finished season 3 (final season I guess).
So it starts out great but seems to linger on a little towards the end.
Still good in general.
Get Shorty
Pretty good. Don't remember anything from the movie so I can't compare. And I read that was based on a book.
Disenchantment
One episode left. Good/pretty good.
Imagine a dungeons and dragons version of The Simpsons and Futurama.
Finished binge watching season 3 of Hannibal. Not as good as 1 or 2, but it handled Red Dragon very well. What a fantastic show this was. Hope they bring it back someday, entertainment of this quality is extremely rare.
Just did "The Last Kingdom" seasons one and two. Was consistently awesome, even if Uthred is really, really, really ridiculously good looking. Like too good-looking for the role.
But the actor does a great performance, the series doesn't stint on the blood and violence... top work, great adaptation.

Not what i was expecting for the most part. Just feels like a Castle replacement. A sequence near the end is more of what i thought the show would be, but hey Its Alan Cummings and Whoopi Goldberg. Ill give it time.

Certainly better than season 2.
Wellington Paranormal
New Zealand one camera comedy show about two cops dealing with paranormal stuff in a small town.
Pretty good. Lot of real dry humour.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Catching up on season 5
Ink Master, season 11 episode 1
It's entertaining to me to see dumb people end up with ugly tattoos.
I watched Disenchantment, mediocre the it gets decent in the last three episodes. Hoping next season is better.
Paradise P.D.
New cartoon series from the Brickleberry creators (I think it's on Netflix).
So far I like it better. More focus on the storyline and less on the dirty jokes.
Sidenote: I'm happy we're getting more cartoons.
Atlanta Season 1 Episodes 8-10
The Terror: season 1 episode 1
Was only able to see the first episode. Seems pretty good. I'll definitely be picking it up on Blu-ray soon.
Bingeing Vikings and also just started Daredevil.
Vikings has got a bit weird (season 4).
Ozark
Season 2 Episode 3
The Frankenstein Chronicles Season 2 Episode 1
Neon Joe Werewolf Hunter, episode 1 and 2
With the guy who plays Jam in Parks & Rec.
Ok so far.
The Young Ones
Watched the whole series over the last few weeks.
Timeless classic comedy.
Trollied
Never finished this series so I'm have another go at this.
Forgot how good it is. Bit like The Office set in a supermarket but filmed in a different way.
Grimm Season 4 Episode 22
Working my way through Better Call Saul: Season 3 on Blu-ray
The quality of this show is immense. It just never loses its strength.
Wentworth, season 6
A lot better than I expected. Especially this far in a series.
The new storylines worked quite well.
Neon Joe Werewolf Hunter
Finished season 1 (only 5x20min episodes).
Started season 2 which is an improvement.
Iron Fist, season 2 episode 1

It's not that it's bad. I just expected it to be about the wacky adventues of Saul Goodman and his shady clients. Not about how he became who he is.
I'll still watch. Gonna start season 4 when it's done.
Grimm Season 5 Episodes 1&2
Shades of Blue Season 3 Episode 10
The Magicians Season 3 Episode 13
Currently finishing Jack Ryan on Amazon. Great show, really happy that Krasinski has shifted his comedic persona and become this action star/high profile director.
Also, started Iron Fist S2. Only 3 episodes in but it's solid. Fight choreography is miles better than the first season. They're putting a focus on the supporting characters which is great because Danny Rand is unfortunately not the most interesting character on the show. Coleen Wing continues to be a stand out.
Atypical Season 2
Finished this over the weekend. It's a good show about a teenager with Autism and the way his family copes with it and how people interact with him. It's a dramedy series that has heart and is pretty funny at times. Nice pallet cleanser for the darker stuff I tend to watch.
Caught the premiere of The Deuce S2 as well, love the new 70's setting and can't wait to see where this show goes. David Simon is the best.

This is definitely more similar to those movies in tone than it is to the other movies. It's pretty good. Amazon had so much faith in it they renewed it for a second season before the first season had released.
I've not watched the series yet, but I've gotten some laughs out of the one star reviews on Amazon from people triggered by the sex. :laugh:

It's the censors. And as an American, I cannot understand it either. Unless this is all some sort of moralistic holdover from the "age of innocence". Is foul language and nudity necessary for good entertainment? Hell ye...uh...not necessarily. ;D But portraying violent people engaging in shady lifestyles and situations, should require some level of reality. This is America; bullets, booty and bad language are part of life.

Another reason I love it! de Almeida's great in it. Imagine Bucho's cousin from a parallel universe where things don't explode purely because it's funny.
Also, I dunno whether or not you've ever seen the convoy ambush sequence, but it's a doozy.

I completely get why people may decide certain things need to be censored - you can't show
Basic Instinct on TV when there might be children about. It's the glaring disparity between violence and other mature content that really gets me. Surely one is just as adult as the other? (Rhetorical.)
One of the reasons a lot of movies from the 80's and 90's are so good is because they totally utilise their R-Rating.
For example, the random pair(s) of boobs.
In the background while the hero is questioning some low level sleazeball in a strip club, when a fight spreads to a room where some couple is banging or maybe in order to catch a perp the hero has to chase him through the ladies' shower.

The Monster Squad.
Finished Vikings marathon. Decreasing returns for me - after the bit with the snakes, it really did dip in quality. But then, its a high-bar... it wasn't as good as it had been, but it was still good.
I have to ask if it's heresy to say that I'm enjoying Daredevil much more than I enjoyed The Punisher.
That 'verse is ripe for Blade. Wesley would fit right in, I reckon.
Bet the folk at DC were pissed off though - Daredevil is like what a Batman Year One series could / should have been.
Atypical
Nice drama/comedy about a teenager with autism and his family.
Trollied, season 3
Couple of changes in the cast but it's still good.

No, it's not.
Daredevil is about Daredevil and has a good amount of action.
Punisher is as much (or more) about that other guy, has too much drama and lacks the amount action/violence one would expect from a Punisher series.
Fear the Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 6
NCIS Season 14 Episode 24

Weird but clever.
Stan Lee's Lucky Man, season 3
Meh. Good thing this was the final season because it was getting monotone.
Snowfall, season 1
Really good and addictive. Which is sorta funny because the show's about drugs.
Ghosted Episode 16
Sadly a series of two halfs because of a change in show runner. The second half pretty much ignored the first half. Would have loved them to have been combined, but since the show has been cancelled itll never happen
I'm watching the BBC's "Our Girl" about a female medic in the British Army. It's really good. Well - I think its really good *lol*
I went off hard scifi this week - binged both 'Maniac' and 'Bodyguard.'
Just getting into 'killjoys' though.
Anyone else watch that? :)
I was going to watch Luke Cage - only Marvel thing I haven't seen, then read a few scalding reviews.
This guy slams it...
https://instabamm.com/luke-cage-underwhelming/
Is it worth watching?
He does make some points.
Both seasons of Luke Cage are pretty good. Season 1 has a great first half but they make a shift in episode 7 or 8 and the show doesn't quite get back to the same level. Season 2 is solid throughout. Both shows suffer from the same problem all of the other Marvel Netflix shows do, they're usually 2-3 episodes too long.
The cast, writing, and soundtracks are all fantastic though.
Been binging Sword Art Online. About 10 episodes into SAO2.
Take the Tower Episode 1
A gameshow involving Dolph Lundgren. He's the best thing about it tbf lol
The Flash season 4 episode 12
Football Genius Episode 1
A really crap football based gameshow
It's Always Sunny..., season 13, episodes 1 and 2
1 was great. 2 was ok/good.
South Park, season 22, episode 1
Meh...
Fear The Walking Dead
Started season 4, up to episode 7. I remember this series being sorta ok. Not anymore.
The drama, the flasbacks, the repetitiveness and cringeworthy predictable outcomes are making this harder and harder to watch.
Westworld Season 2 Episodes 7-10
Holy S**t what an ending. Bring on series 3
ER
Not sure which episodes. Sat through a few with the family while we're hunkered down.
Castle Season 8 Episode 1
A good season opener, but i feel they should have ended it with Season 7, that final episode was a perfect cap
Norsemen
Vikings in a more humorous setting, with sometimes a modern take on old situations.
Not bad. Jokes are quite alright. Stuff like "That's so 770's."
Recognised two castmembers from Lilyhammer, might be from the same creators.
It's Always Sunny, season 13 episode 3
Good. Laughted out loud a couple of times. Mac and Charlie's mom were the funniest.
Fear The Walking Dead
Finished season 4. This season was certainly the worst of everything TWD so far.
Big Mouth Season 1 Episodes 1-4
A friend of mine recommended this Netflix animation and i have to say its brilliant. Its the perfect kind of absurd for me.
Doctor Who Season 11 Episode 1
All those worrying about Jodie Whittaker playing the Doctor hopefully have had their doubts blown out of the water. She nails it. One of the best Doctor Intros since Matt Smith
Caught the premiere of The Walking Dead Season 9.
Very good. The time jump helped and I'm interested in seeing how they handle Rick and Maggie's departures from the show. The set up is based on them starting to disagree with each other on how to run things and with them leaving the show in a few episodes it'll be interesting to see what happens next.
Just started Daredevil season 2. Hyper-violent this time around (well, the Punisher has arrived). This show continues to impress. The DC fanboy in my wishes that this was Batman: Year One (well, two now I guess).
Krypton Season 1 Episodes 9-10
Really enjoyed this series more and more as it went on. Cant wait for Season 2
Grimm Season 5 Episode 22
Better Call Saul Season 4 finale.
Wow. This show just proves how much of a genius Vince Gilligan is as well as all of the performers in this show. Saul Goodman has arrived. Great finale. I'm so curious as to how much longer this show can go on. I think the next season could be the last but wouldn't be surprised if it gets to 6.

Certainly took them long enough. This shows's alright but should've had another title. It's just pre-Breaking Bad. Not Better Call Saul.

Shoutout to Peter Gould as well! He's even more involved as showrunner on this than Gilligan is, and holy shit, I adore this show. It trumps BrBa in every way imaginable (and I
adore BrBa). Best thing on TV by far.
I foresee two more seasons. Just a hunch, but I'm expecting one more pre-Breaking Bad, and one following Gene in Omaha.
Get Shorty, season 2
On the same level as the previous season. Check it out if you haven't already.
Edit: finished the season and it's still good and interesting. I love the fact that the whole thing comes down to a passion for (making) movies.
Ballers, season 4
It's ok but not as good as it used to be. More drama, less fun situations.
Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park, latest episodes
I find Family Guy less and less funny. Simpsons are average/bad as usual. South Park is still focusing too much on current events in society instead of just being funny.

You prove my point and I don't mean that in a bad way or anything. The show is pre-Breaking Bad, catered to Breaking Bad fans, instead of Better Call Saul. It's just that I was hoping it would be about the wacky adventures of everybody's favorite shady lawyer and his clients. Could've been fun.

Currently halfway through The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. This show is honestly one of the most well done horror shows I've seen. Mike Flanagan does excellent work here. The cast is superb and the scares are legit. You really care for the main characters and feel their struggle. I'm shocked how much I love this show.

The TV show was so worthwhile indeed. I started last night (four episodes so far), and I'm pleased by the agile narrative & the fresh way they handled the paranormal stuff.
Ballers Season 4 Episodes 8-9
The Last Ship Season 5 Episodes 1-5
Daredevil, season 3
Wasn't bad but I felt it might have been better with another or an extra villain involved. Still pretty decent overal and nowhere as bad as Iron Fist or Iron Fist. But with the cancellation of those two I wonder what the future will bring for this show. And Punisher.
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, season 13, episode 5, The Gang Gets New Wheels
Laughed out loud several times. There was something I don't think I've ever seen on tv,.
And DeVito also stole the show as he often does.

Maybe the best episode in a long time. Back to basics.

Not as good as the first two, but a step up from 3. Although this season was hit and miss, but these final two episodes saved it. Wonder where they'll go for Season 5
Falling Skies Season 1 Episodes 1-3
Finally got round to watching this. Its a good show, but the Spielberg touch does come through with some music and scenes choices
Daredevil (S3)
Really enjoyed the season. It felt very S1 but there was definitely some comic booky elements with the inclusion of Bullseye. Kingpin is great and he really shows his power this season which I really enjoyed. The new characters brought in work extremely well, especially Bullseye. The fight scenes are top notch but I did feel they held back on Daredevils martial arts and went for a more street-brawling approach. It still looked great though.
This season does the best with keeping the 13 episodes not feel like it's dragging. They do a good job in the middle section of raising the stakes and it comes with a pretty good twist which kept it interesting. I really hope they get another season. Netflix already cancelled two of them. I believe these shows can work much better if they cut down the episode counts to 10. This season really ended on a good note though so there's a slight worry that it'll end up getting cancelled too.. this is their best show though out of the Marvel series so we'll see.
But yeah, the season was pretty good. I think people will be happy.

Really enjoyed the first season of Jessica Jones. Kilgrave was a great villain. Daredevil is more of my style though.

Supposedly the Luke Cage showrunners were condensing Season 3 down to ten episodes before the show was cancelled.

I really like Daredevil Season 2 but the first 4 episodes are easily the best of the season. I loved Elektra but the Hand stuff got really convoluted and they made the Hand even worse in Iron Fist.
Doctor Who S11 E3 "Rosa"
Really well done episode for the most part. It never slipped into being a "message" episode, balancing the different elements nicely. The villain was pretty weak, though, and the Southern accents were mostly pretty laughable.
Berlin Station Episode 1
Found myself instantly gripped by this series, although i hate the cliche of doing a scene at the very start then jumping back to lead up to it
Glad to hear that's good, my girlfriend's been recording it for us to watch.
Watched some more of (ER: Season 4) on dvd.
No matter what I watch, my Hannibal on Blu-ray is calling to me again. I don't know how much longer I can fight it. My will is failing.
More Scandanavian Noir.
Season 1, Episode 8 of The Lawyer
Criminal Minds Beyond Borders Season 1 Episode 13
Just seems like a by the numbers episode
Castlevania Season 2
This was fantastic. It took everything season one did well, and improved everything else. The three heroes are excellent together, and Dracula is handled incredibly well. And they actually coughed up the cash to use Bloody Tears near the end this time.
Inside No.9 - Live Halloween Special
Fantastic. Pulled off with aplomb
Exorcist season 2. First season was good, so watching the second now it's on prime. Up to episode2 so far
Watched the first 2 episodes of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix. Surprised how much I like the show. The cast all does a good job and it's surprisingly dark. The biggest negative is the way it's shot, for some strange reason they decided to stage shots where the outer rims of the screen are all blurred out. I think it's supposed to be that way to give some sort of spookier vibe but it doesn't work well, it just looks like poor cinematography.
Watched some Perry Mason. Don't remember the episode name or number. Regardless, if I had taken a drink every time he said "the Tao Quan Buddha", I'd be in the ICU right now.
Doctor Who S11 E4 "Arachnids in the UK"
This started out as a fun monster of the week, but kind of fizzled out by the end. And while Chris Noth gave a good and funny performance as the bad guy, the character was such an obnoxious and silly stereotype just to prop up the anti-gun thing. Because apparently letting a big ass spider slowly suffocate to death is humane, but shooting it and ending things quickly isn't. :laugh:
Crow's Blood Episode 1
A very freaky Japanese Horror series. Very intrigued to see where it goes
The First Episode 1
A fantastic start. A lot of slowburning shows are starting at the moment and its perfect
The Detail Episode 1
Yeah what a load of s**t.
Killing Eve Episode 8
Fantastic ending. Hope for a second series
Rick And Morty
Pretty great! Never saw this until last weekend. By now almost done with the second season.
The Deuce, season 2, episodes 1 to 3.
I love this show. Feels so authentic you can almost smell it.
Doctor Who S11 E5 "The Tsuranga Conundrum"
This was a lot of fun, a bit like Doctor Who crossed with Alien... only the creature itself is kind of hilarious, despite the serious tone and situation. The most important guest characters could have used a tad more time and development to make their arc work a bit better, though.
The Haunting of Hill House
I've watched eight of the ten episodes. This is some really great shit.
Mayans M.C. episode 1 to 4
Not bad for a bad spin-off but Kurt Sutter's writing trope is showing pretty fast.
I'll put them in a spoiler because once you know, you might start paying attention to it and it could ruin things a little.
Spoiler
The trope is secrets. Sons Of Anarchy, Bastard Executioner and now Mayans M.C.
Usually the main character has a personal secret. He might share it with family. Then there's a different secret only his close friends know. That secret will be kept from the group they're part of. Other group members often also have their own secrets. And ofcourse the group itself keeps some kind of secret from another group.
The unraveling of the secrets and/or trying to keep them intact serves as the catalyst for the stories.

A masterful piece of comedy with a powerful ending
Taskmaster Season 7 Episode 10
Doctor Who S11 E6 "Demons of the Punjab"
Excellent episode, and the best since the season premiere.
Mayans M.C.
Finished the season. Not bad but not great either. And almost trope overkill.
Channel Zero, season 4, The Dream Door
Best season of the series so far.
House of Cards - Season 6 Episode 8.
Hmmm. That series ending finale felt ... well ... abrupt. Not sure that was the payoff I wanted after what was actually an enjoyable season despite the absence of Spacey (for obvious reasons).

Doctor Who S11 E7 "Kerblam!"
And entertaining little mix of sci-fi and mystery, with some well written social commentary and well executed twists. Certain aesthetic elements reminded me of Portal and Bioshock a bit.

Its one i could picture most as a Classic Who story
Miami Vice S1 E2-5
Got massively sidetracked from my rewatch after the pilot, but finally back on it.
Episode 2, "Heart of Darkness", is fantastic, probably one of the best of the season - with an unexpectedly impressive dramatic turn from Modern Family's Ed O'Neill - but off the back of that I was sorely reminded just how dodgy some of the acting from the supporting cast is in these early episodes. Especially Angelina in "Calderone's Return Part II", if only because she's one of the main characters.
Still, Vice is cool as f*ck. I feel like going out and buying a white linen suit (and then freezing my bollocks off, because it's November).
The Last Ship Season 5 Episode 10
While i enjoyed the ending and have enjoyed this whole series, i felt this either needed another episode or at least 30 more minutes
Zapped Season 3 Episodes 4-6

Watched the "Ping Pong" episode of Everybody Loves Raymond while taking a break from housework.
Hoping to start the final season of "The Strain" tomorrow night. Still can't believe seasons 3 and 4 only got a dvd release. Just shameful.
Doctor Who S11 E8 "The Witchfinders"
That was bizarre, to say the least. Alan Cumming was hilarious, though.

2) Evan

On which note:
Miami Vice S1 E6-11
The show's still a little rough around the edges, but it's definitely finding its feet. The only one of these I'm not so keen on is "Glades", featuring a random jaunt into the everglades where Crockett and Tubbs help some good ol' boys rescue a witness' daughter who's been kidnapped by some other good ol' boys. There's even an old dude with no teeth who plays the fiddle and kills drug dealers with a blunderbuss. Yeah, it's random as shit, and doesn't really do it for me.
Otherwise these are solid. Highlights from this batch include "One Eyed Jack", which introduces Edward James Olmos to the show as Castillo - the role I will forever love him for - and as an added bonus features Dennis Farina playing a racketeering mob boss; "No Exit", which features a pre-fame Bruce Willis as a vile, wife-beating arms dealer (because just being an arms dealer wouldn't make him shitty enough, I guess); and "Give a Little, Take a Little", which is among my favourites from the entire series, mostly because it hints at how f*cking bleak things would get later on (I think I must be a sadist at heart, because the episodes where shitty things happen to the best people tend to be my favourites lol).

I'll be the first to admit some of the episodes are complete shite, but when
Miami Vice got it right (which, more often than not, it did), it really was one hell of a show. It also somehow manages to feel utterly unique even today, despite how often its been imitated since.

Going pretty fast through the series. There's really nothing on tv so I often put it on in the background.
And it's a "warm" series which is nice during this shitty weather.

Yeah, that episode does have a few moments, but ultimately feels like something out of the Twilight Zone... even though it was close to an accurate depiction of certain parts of Florida in the 80's.

Yep, Dennis Farina plays Lombard and he's terrific. I believe Lombard is mentioned by name a few more times in various epiodes of Season One until he gets an episode of his own, the season finale aptly titled "Lombard" (one of my top 5).

That was Disney, but yeah I saw the Indiana Jones stunt show too. That was a lot of fun. I didn't see/wasn't aware of Waterworld show though. I knew they had a Universal Studios
Conan the Barbarian show - I wish I had seen that. Actually I think the only other stunt show I got to see was a
Batman stunt show in Six Flags New Jersey, which was very cool.
The Miami Vice stunt show in Universal Orlando, Florida was more water/boat based, orchestrated in that big lagoon they had. Unfortunately I too only learned about it after it was closed. That helicopter fight (seen towards the end of that video) would have been awesome to see in person!
on episode 6 of the terror, really digging it so far
Started Season 4: Disc 2 of The Strain last night, but fell asleep midway through an episode. Not because it sucks, I just over did it at work yesterday. So far, I'd say this season is kind of hit and miss, but more miss than hit.

The finale was kind of a let down for me. The show never really reached it's full potential for me. I felt like it could have done more with the post-apocalyptic portion of the show but it never did. Thankfully they ended it and didn't drag it on.
Mike Judge's Tales From The Tourbus, season 2, episode 1-4

I had high hopes for this series. Started out great but at some point it kept going downhill.
I wonder if the book is different/better.
Finished the final season of The Strain.
Seemed kind of weak and stretched thin overall. It's a good thing they ended it when they did, confining it to three seasons probably would've been better. I wasn't fond of the ending, it seemed to conclude very fast.
I was thinking
Spoiler
the kid would be the one who got infected and Goodweather would have to put him down just to get to the bomb. Then, having nothing left, he would accept his fate in peace. But the kid got to set off another nuke and I suppose get redeemed somehow. Meh. I also wish Setrakian would've given a final line before his head was taken off. A thank you and good luck to all of them or something, instead of just looking around and giving the go ahead. There was some wasted space there that could've been put to good use.
The highlights for me were definitely Quinlan and his backstory, and of course, Richard Sammel's performance as Eichorst. Kind of sad to see it go, but it had been awhile since I last watched the show so it took alittle time to get back in the narrative flow. I'll hold out hope for a complete series collection on Bluray one day.
Finally tried watching The Office (US version, because most Brit comedy isn't funny) and I just didn't really like it. Tried 4 episodes but I just fed-up of it.

The first 6 episodes are a chore to get through but Season 2 to Season 5 is some great stuff. Once Steve Carrell leaves around the middle of Season 7 it becomes almost unwatchable. Parks and Rec is the better show in my opinion but also suffers from a bad 6 episode first season.
Alright...I'll try and slog on through. That's a fair point about Parks and Rec. From Season 2, that thing is f**king gold.
finally getting round to binging season three of the expanse.

Fawlty Towers,

Despite being an Aussie, my Maltese parents made sure Brit comedy was a family staple on our TV growing up. All those you mentioned are classics. Loved others as well such as Dave Allen, Kenny Everitt Video Cassette, Open All Hours, Benny Hill, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Alas Smith and Jones, Young Ones, etc, etc.
Fawlty Towers for me is still the pinnacle for me.

My only memories of it are from when I was still a little scrapper. During our trips to my grandparents house out of state, I was forced to bed down in the basement. There in that cold abyss, was an old television with a channel knob and rabbit ears on it. I only had 2 signals that I could catch, and only at certain times. So if going outside wasn't a option, I was either stuck watching Rugrats or Red Green. I never saw too many episodes, but I did chuckle a couple of times.
Of course, if I was really bored I could always go take a shower in that prison cell they called a...shower. The one made of 2x4's, exposed insulation and cement. With a live electrical outlet right underneath the shower head and the window with no curtain that stared right up into the neighbor lady's side yard and huge living room window. Might I have teased the old woman a time or two? Who can say?
Ah, childhood. Bittersweet, yet terrifying.

Ya'll need some Red Green.
I saw one episode in a hotel room a few years ago.
Definitely have a soft spot for older shows, American and British alike.
My only memories of it are from when I was still a little scrapper. During our trips to my grandparents house out of state, I was forced to bed down in the basement. There in that cold abyss, was an old television with a channel knob and rabbit ears on it. I only had 2 signals that I could catch, and only at certain times. So if going outside wasn't a option, I was either stuck watching Rugrats of Red Green. I never saw too many episodes, but I did chuckle a couple of times.
Of course, if I was really bored I could always go take a shower in that prison cell they called a...shower. The one made of 2x4's and cement. With an electrical outlet right underneath the shower head and the giant window with no curtain that stared right up into the old neighbor lady's yard and huge living room window. Might I have teased the old woman a time or two? Who can say?
Ah, the memories of youth. Bittersweet, yet terrifying.
Some of your stories might subconsciously pop up in my writing one day.
I may have cheated death and unknowingly satisfied the rotary club at the same time, but I was no James Bond. I was just a dude, in the shower.

Slice-of-life fiction is my specialty.
The Young Ones is feckin' great.
I watch it at least once a year.
Father Ted's already mentioned. Brilliant series that is.
One Foot In The Grave
Best grumpy old man series ever.
Shameless
More of a dramedy but still really good.
Bottom is great as long as you don't watch it too much. Also better when you're drunk.
But what about the Bottom live shows? They're amazing in their own way.

Slice-of-life fiction is my specialty.
The fact that I was also within 30 (very visible) yards of the police station, my grandmother's congregation or as I called it "The Southern Baptist Headquarters", and a Methodist Mega-Church did add some excitement to my hygienic rituals. I didn't fully appreciate what I had going for me there. I was beset on all sides by God and The Law, and my only concerns were of the old neighbor woman?
Funny that I never saw her, although the only times that would have been possible, she may have been hiding behind the veil. Perhaps, in a way, we did know each other. Although I'm assuming she knew a whole lot more about me than I did her. I may have been an unknowing pupil, in the school of one-sided love, although I was always hoping there were some attractive middle-aged daughters watching.
She's passed on though, along with the tribulations and fantasies of youth. A minister lives there now. I took my last showers in that town...somewhere else.
...And then comes the moment when you realize a miniscule and seldom remembered portion of your life suddenly feels like "To Kill a Mockingbird" meets "Blue Velvet".
Doctor Who S11 E9 "It Takes You Away"
Deeply strange, yet very good episode. Also, big ass flesh eating moths. :o
Law and Order.
Not certain of the season or episode, but Dan Hedaya was in it.

Finally tried watching The Office (US version, because most Brit comedy isn't funny) and I just didn't really like it. Tried 4 episodes but I just fed-up of it.
The first 6 episodes are a chore to get through but Season 2 to Season 5 is some great stuff. Once Steve Carrell leaves around the middle of Season 7 it becomes almost unwatchable. Parks and Rec is the better show in my opinion but also suffers from a bad 6 episode first season.
I've slogged on. I'm at about episode 12 or 13 of Season 2 and I'm pretty mixed. I really enjoy everything other than Steve Carrell's character. It's not even a dislike of the man - I like him - I just absolutely hate his character. He's rubbing me up the wrong way and not in a "it's funny laughing at him being stupid" kind of way. :-\

The last Kingdom : nice little GoT alternative. Setting is late 9th century AD and the conflict between the Angelo-Saxon kingdoms in England and different Danish Viking warlords and earls.
Quote from: Prez on Dec 04, 2018, 12:31:50 AMFawlty Towers is still the pinnacle for me.
A lot of people would agree.
But for me personally,
Fools and Horses trumps any other British comedy because every now and then it'd do something that'd bring a tear to your eye, and you realise the characters aren't just figures of fun, you genuinely care about them. The fact it could be as moving as it could funny is what elevates it above the likes of
Fawlty Towers in my eyes;
Fawlty Towers was clearly hysterical, but it's never anything more than that.
Fresh Prince often managed the same kind of thing, one of the reasons I really rate that as a sitcom. And of course
Blackadder did it with what is probably one of the most famous series endings in British TV history.

He definitely took some getting used too especially early in the show but honestly if you can't stand him you probably never will. He definitely matures as the show goes on.

It's easily one of my favorite tv-series. I watch it each year.
A couple of specials on The Titanic.
Getting ready to start Hannibal (on Bluray) tonight. My third journey. It calls to me, and I am powerless to resist.
Doctor Who Season 11/37 Episode 10
A fine end to this season, actually brings it full cirlce
Finished Daredevil Season 3 last week - it was fantastic - and just started "Hand of God" with Ron Perlman on Amazon Prime. Only one episode in, but so far, so good!
Counterpart - S2E1
J.K. Simmons is fantastic as usual. Love this show. It's a legit spy thriller with sci-fi elements and I'm all in. So glad we didn't have to wait that long for the second season.
Batman: The Animated Series
Watched a number of episodes on blu-ray. The transfers look pretty good, considering the age and nature of the source.
Two And A Half Men, with Charlie Sheen
Too bad it ended the way it did. They should just start again and pretend like the whole Kutcher was a dream.

Done with Two And A Half Men so now it's the other series about a guy who lives in California and bangs a lot of women.

The show seemed to be written for Charlie Sheen. That was imo the main thing that made it so good. That and the rest of the cast.
And yes, it's very similar to other sitcoms. It's because a lot of those are from the same writer. 2 Broke Girls, Big Bang Theory,...

Four, maybe five episodes. I was watching on Netflix and then they pulled it.
Huh, didn't realize it was off of Netflix. I used that for my first viewing. Have all of it on Blu now though. Showtime might still have the original series. I know they got it (and the film) on there in the buildup to the new season.
Season one is great, and season two right up through to the reveal is fantastic. After that there's a bit of a slog where the show doesn't know what to do with itself, but it finds its footing again in time for the last stretch of episodes, which really pick things up again in a big way. Fire Walk With Me and the new season are phenomenal.
I hope you enjoy your foray into this long, strange Lynchian nightmare!
I bought the set with the first two seasons an FWWM. I'll grab season three later on after I finish them.

Yep.
Finished off Season 1 last night. Interesting shit.
Only thing the box set is missing is a couple features exclusive to the Criterion FWWM. I own both versions.
The Log Lady intros on the Blu-ray box set are a lot of fun.
After you watch FWWM and before you start S3, make sure you watch The Missing Pieces.
90 minutes of deleted scenes? :o
Also, started season two. Very interesting with the turns it's taking. The ending of the premiere was crazy.
Yup yup, and a lot of the deleted stuff is pretty significant, too. There are lots of prominent characters form the show that aren't even in the film but feature a fair amount in The Missing Pieces (and some stuff from TMP about a certain new character sheds a bit of light on one of S3's big mysteries).
About to finish season 1 of Hannibal on Bluray again. Just as beautiful as ever.

Right? Absolutely phenomenal stuff. Did you go in completely dark, or did you have some idea of how the mystery was going to be solved?
The next stretch of episodes is where it kind of loses its steam. Lynch was busy on another project, and they had no idea what to really do with the characters or the story (they never intended to really reveal the killer). But stick with it, 'cause there's some gems even in the slower parts, and it all pays off in the last stretch of four or five episodes, leading to an excellent finale directed by Lynch himself.

Not sure how much, if anything, you know about Fire Walk With Me, but... (not really any actual spoilers below given what you know from the show at this point, but still tagging it just in case you want to go into it completely blank).
Spoiler
the film is a prequel, dealing with the last week of Laura's life. So you're going to get some really fantastic Leland stuff in there, getting to see elements of the whole ordeal from his own point of view.
Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee are incredible in the film, and the whole thing is just dow scary and depressing and hauntingly beautiful.
I'm vaguely aware of what the film is.
It is a strange journey ahead. I very much look forward to hearing the rest of your thoughts as you continue through it.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to continuing.

Not complete yet. I just didn't post the episode count because of how the box set numbers them.
Got ya, got ya. Keep on keepin' at it!
Oh, I intend to. I do think James Hurley got kind of short changed this season. He was cool and pretty involved in the plot in Season 1, in this one he got sidelined for the Palmer stuff and now is relegated to a subplot I have yet to get invested in. (which also feels more than a little like the odd second half of Lost Highway, come to think of it...)

Several, sprinkled throughout. And there was a particularly psychotic sounding voice recording this last episode.
Upgraded to watching at least one "Hand of God" episode per day now. So, so good!
Twin Peaks Season 2
Seven episodes left, and Earle has shown up... played by the goofy Irish guy from Survival of the Dead. Oh and David Warner is here, too.

Four episodes left. Shit is getting seriously interesting. And hey, Gordon was finally given something to do other than be annoying as hell.

The escape was cool. Are those the guys Dougie owes money to? Because they only showed up in episode six.

And Lynch apparently hates sensible scene selection, so I'll have to start the episode over from the beginning. :laugh:

It's good. It's the guy who created Parks and Rec and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and it's definitely not as good as Parks and Rec but it's an easy binge. Kristen Bell is a delight however and Ted Danson does some fun work here.

Taken Season 2 Episode 1
Now i knew before i saw this that they had got rid of 90% of the cast of Season 1 bar 2 characters. I was miffed when i read it, but watching the episode they clearly thought about how to explain it quickly. Essentially this is a reboot and it actually feels like a better show now

A bit, now that that story has started going somewhere and isn't just a string of fish out of water gags and his wife berating him every other scene. Dougie karate chopping a midget in the throat was hilarious.
And maybe I've missed something, but did the trailer park move after Fire Walk with Me? It's suddenly in Twin Peaks when I could have sworn it was in Deer Meadow.
Yup. When you first see it there's a little sign making mention of the new location.
That's right, there's a tacked on sign saying "The New" over the regular sign. And hey, anything for more Brett.

Titans.
It's fcking awesome. Like I was saying above, "Daredevil" was the TV show a DC Batman show could have been (I LOVED DD).
Titans was obviously taking notes... my only worry (I'm 7 or so episodes in) is that I saw Greg Berlanti's name in the credits.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoy Supergirl and Legends and all that, but the tone they set with Titans... the last thing they need is for it get on Berlanti's heavy handed social commentary. I have to say its been absent so far.
Thus far, this show has delivered everything that - as a big DC fan - that I've been looking for. It's really Synder-verse. It's dark and very very violent. And has horror aspects too. The Easter Eggs abound... the flashbacks to Grayson's tenure with Wayne are brilliant and laden with expectation...
I'm a fan!

Happy to hear this. The trailers did nothing for me personally and I lost interest in most of DC's other TV shows a while ago but like you I loved Daredevil. Think I made need to give this a whirl.
@Prez - I hope you enjoy it, man. Look - I'm predisposed to like this stuff, but with my rose-tints off, I'll say the weakest episode so far is the "Doom Patrol" (I really liked it, but I'm far from neutral).
Let me know what you think if you get a chance!
Watched the first two episodes of True Detective S3 and really dug them. I'm hooked for sure.
They're going back to what made the first season so damn great and although it is a dark show it is nowhere near as moody as Season 2 was. The lead detectives played by a fantastic Mahershala Ali and a surprisingly great Stephen Dorff steer clear of being the typical alcoholic cop on the edge of being crooked and although they aren't far from that I think it's the writing and acting that make them break free from that tired character type.
The case is also pretty interesting so far and that is important in my eyes since the show is essentially a detective show. It takes a nice turn at the end of the first episode. It does return to multiple timelines and I can't wait to see where each storyline ends up. It's not season 1 good but it's so much better than season 2.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Was just about to sit down and watch the episodes myself. :)

Unfortunately nothing as amazing as that scene has been in True Detective S3.
Hell even S2 didn't have a scene like that.. and I was hoping with Rachel McAdams we'd get something good. Some nice behind shots of her though :P
Just watched the first two episodes of True Detective - Season 3. That was damn good. I don't even think I was this invested in the first season after just two episodes. Cast is great and the make-up on old Mahershala Ali is damn impressive. I even had to look it up to see if they cast an older actor for him.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think giving Pizzolato some time to work on the show instead of rushing it out like they did was S2 really helped shape this season to be something worth watching.
I agree, I think it was episode 4 or 5 that really hooked me in Season 1. I knew was digging the show but that last half is what made it the great show we all know it as now.
I've got to admit, I haven't seen Season 2 myself. :-[
I gave Season 1 a shot back when it first aired and didn't really got into it. But for some reason, that beer Rust was drinking got stuck on my mind, so a few months later I ordered some bottles of Lone Star. Once I got it, I kind of felt like I kind of needed to give the show a shot again, so I ended up binging it and drinking Lone Star. Guess beer was the saving grace. :D
Season 2 starts okay, but it just goes on and on. And the season finale is f**king 90 minutes long. Motherf**ker, you're not season five of The Wire.
I haven't seen The Wire either. :-[
I have been meaning to see Season 2 of True Detective, just never got around to it. I kind of like the look of it and I'm a big fan of both Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams.

The big difference is that The Wire was wrapping up five seasons' worth of characters and plot points. True Detective S2 was just wrapping a needlessly convoluted mess.
Yeah S2 starts okay and towards the mid-point they have this awesome shootout scene and then they do a slight time jump and it never recovers. The plot was just too convoluted. It went from a case that you barely care about to this giant conspiracy. Very insane.0

Some random Twin Peaks S3 thoughts:
Spoiler
-Loved seeing Gordon and Albert basically carry huge chunks of the series. The added insight into the whole Blue Rose thing was fascinating.
-Jeffries becoming a giant tea kettle is certainly an interesting way to work around an actor not being available. Same goes for the Man from Another Place becoming a tree. Major Briggs was handled well, too.
-So I guess poor Chet Desmond is stuck in the Lodge for all eternity.
-"I had another Monica Bellucci dream last night." Damn it Gordon, focus! :laugh:
-That whole shootout on Dougie's street was just the most random and hilarious thing ever. It helps that I recognized the Polish Accountant from the most recent season of Preacher.
-Heh, Shaggy go boom.
-Nukes are bad, got it.
-As iffy as I was on the whole Dougie thing at first, a certain amount of time needed to be spent with his family in order for Coop's goodbye scene to be as touching as it was. That being said, I'm not sure if Coop giving them another Tulpa is sweet, f**ked up, or some mix of the two. Not that it matters, considering he seemed to f**k the multiverse six ways from Sunday by the end.
-General Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department stuff: Lucy kicking ass was amazing. Frank Truman was cool, and it's always nice having Robert Forster around, even if Harry was written out very awkwardly. Bobby being a deputy now was a great bit of character development. Oh, and Michael Cera makes perfect sense as Andy and Lucy's kid. If Dick were the father, he'd be Jesse Eisenberg. :laugh:
-I guess ZZ Top turned down. Lynch's offer to perform live. Yet James Marshall just
had sing Just You again. :laugh:
-So if speculation that 1956 girl was Sarah Palmer is correct, and she's in some way possessed or influenced by Judy, that would seemingly explain Bob's fixation on the Palmer family, and why he was so intent on having Laura as his next conduit.
-As far as the green glove goes, sure it was silly, but this is the same show that had Windom Earle kill people and place their bodies in giant chess pieces. Not to mention basically any of the subplots from Season 2.
-Certain characters felt like they were only in this season because the actors were up for it and Lynch didn't want to say no. I give a pass to Jerry Horne because of how hilarious he was, though.
-It took me a bit to put together the relationship between Bad Coop and Richard Horne, and... yikes. :-X
-Diane, tulpa or not, is one of the most insanely fun characters ever. Not bad for someone who was literally just a name before now.
-So, since there's been no word on Leo, I guess he's still holding that rope with his teeth. It's like the Twin Peaks version of Huell waiting in that room.
-Cooper, what were you trying to accomplish by Back to the Future Part II'ing yourself into Fire Walk with Me and interfering with Laura's fate? That just, gahhhhh.... Just because you're the Kwisatz Haderach doesn't mean you can f**k the timeline worse than Barry Allen has. This is especially true with FWWM's ending showing Laura coming to terms with what happened... and Cooper f**ked all that up. He's now seemingly condemned her to go through all of her suffering again, only differently.
-So I read that the woman in the Palmer house at the end is the house's real life owner playing herself. So... Cooper stepped into the "real world..." I think. That's the ending of Gilliam's take on Watchmen! :laugh:

Interesting enough I watched the promo trailer on Netflix and holy cow - that was miles better than the original `F**K Batman' one they released months ago. Yep I'm gonna give this a whirl for sure. I totally get your Snyder reference too and FWIW I'm a big fan of Snyder's take on DC (loved Watchmen, MOS, BVS and WW... Justice League was ok but clearly they need to release the Snyder cut ;-D
And yes I am a DC fan too.
You're gonna love it, I reckon!
Aces - Yeah - I'd love to see the Snyder-cut, but I doubt if WB would invest the zillions it would cost to finish it (and I'm guessing there'd be more reshoots required too).
But - honestly - this is the show I've been waiting for and I hope you like it :-)

Gonna have to politely disagree.
The Wire is simply one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Spartacus: War of the Damned,
incredibly cheesy, gory, over the top and as historically inaccurate as it can be, still loved every bloodsoaked minute of it. ;D
Yeah, the Wire is a great show. Really does a great job of making you honestly care more for the drug dealers and dislike the cops. The characters are raw and real and the acting is top notch. You should definitely check it out.
Gunsmoke - The fourth victim.

I just didn't like the way most seasons ended.
Spoiler
There's one or more where imo the wrong people die/live or go to jail/or not. Or some case gets closed for whatever reason when there's still more to it
and I find that unsatisfying.
That's exactly the point of The Wire. Shit doesn't go perfectly, and the cycle continues unbroken.
I've watched the first five episodes of Punisher S2. Really good stuff, so far. Pilgrim seems to be partly based on the Mennonite from Jason Aaron's run, minus the only killing with farming equipment thing.
Then that's the point why I don't really like The Wire ;D

What I really loved (especially in the first season) was that they used the right head-gear... that's a ballsy movie, hiding the actors' faces like that.
The War of the Damned did stretch it a lot, I guess... I mean, they really did go around the countryside entirely ravaging it, forcing people to fight and all that stuff...
It was a big stretch in the later seasons, though, but as you say... loads of fun.
Damn, damn shame about Andy Whitfield, though. :-(

True, the murmillo helmets were awesome. Glad they did that. The gladitorial fights of the first season were some of my favorite moments of the series in general.
Historical accuracy seldom makes for a the best story, so rule of cool all the way. As long as a movie or series does not explicitly claims historical accuracy, i see no problem.
Yeah it's a shame. While Liam McIntyre was by no means bad and did his best, he had big shoes to fill. It was just not quite the same without Andy :(

Narcos Mexico wasn't bad but I felt they used most good actors for the original series and are left now with slightly less good ones.
And the fact that I've also seen 3 seasons of El Chapo makes it a little less interesting. But still good.

It's just the cast in general, the main actors were pretty good but the rest was a little average at times.
I still like the show and I'm gonna keep watching. But after 3 seasons of Narcos and 3 seasons of El Chapo, the whole narco thing can get a little monotone at times.
Into season 2 of
Game of Thrones now. Joffrey seriously needs to die lol. You would think a less enlightened man than myself, a cruder man than myself, a man less sensitised to the qualities and charms and value of kings - a man like that, not me, but a man like that, he just might call him a c*nt :P
I continue to be surprised by how many recognisable British TV actors are in it. Also kind of amazed
Spoiler
it took Sean Bean a whole nine episode to perish :laugh:
Also been continuing with
Miami Vice on-and-off. Got through the next three episodes, including the "Golden Triangle" two-parter, a highlight because it's the first time Edward James Olmos is really front and centre. Part two was also written by Michael Mann, and it definitely shows in the dialogue, which is a cut above most other episodes.

Charles Dance was well-known in the UK long before he did that. That's partly why his part's so funny, because he's a serious actor in a ridiculous film. If you watch you'll notice he plays all his scenes straight (except maybe that one ;D)
I always remember Charles Dance as ... (aside from Clemens in Alien3)
"My sweet brother Numsie!"

Jack Gleeson absolutely nailed Jofferey's c**tiness.
It would not have been the same without him. Another example of the great cast of the show.

An improvement on the previous season. Still a little too much drama for my taste.

I have. I liked it, but I didn't love it.
Watched all of Altered Carbon over the course of a few days. It's highly entertaining, and way funnier than I expected.
Really liked Joel Kinnaman as the protagonist, though, so I'm not sure what I'll make of Anthony Mackie in the next season.

Really good so far.

Action-comedy series from the writer(s) of Deadpool, and it shows.
Finished off season 2 of
Game of Thrones. Glad we finally got to see a battle, the whole "there's gonna be a big battle ... wow, wasn't that a big battle" jump cuts were getting a little old lol. Dunno if I enjoyed it quite as much as season 1, but that's not to say it wasn't still very, very good.

Perception Season 1 Episode 1
Another Detective show with a twist. Its interesting, will give it more time, but i feel a reveal at the end of the episode could have been held off for a couple more episodes
HuDaFuK you ever finish season one of MV?
Still working through it :)
I'm up to the last few episodes now, but I've seen the show so many times before I'm taking my time so I don't burn out.
Ah, cool. I must have missed that you were a repeat viewer. I was looking forward to your reaction to Miami Vice at its best, the last 2 episodes of Season One: Evan & Lombard
Red Dwarf Series 1,4 & 5
Classics all of them
Finally got access to Amazon Prime once again, which means I've started my long-overdue catch-up of The Grand Tour. It's still overly scripted in places, but overall I'm enjoying season 2 much more than the first.
Also looking forward to the latest series of The Man in the High Castle, and making a start on the Jack Ryan show.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine Season 1 Episode 20

Started the RR Martin thing on Netflix... Nightflyer...
It's pretty good... not great but intriguing enough to make me want to keep up with it.
What IS funny is what a debt sci-fi owes to Ridders and Gieger... everything in the ship looks like it's from Alien or Event Horizon (which riffs on Alien of course) apart from the bits that look like they're from 2001...
I'm not saying it's ripping off, I just think this industrial feel is so embedded in our psyche that we expect everything set in a gritty near-ish future looks like that.
The used future look from original Star Wars and Alien was hugely influential. As was Blade Runner. So you're right about that.
Anyone looking for a sitcom, check out "The Cool Kids" on FOX.
These four are hilarious together.

It's the case with other movie genres and artforms. The classics often serve as some sort of blueprint.
Series itself isn't bad. Don't remember much but I did finish it.
Black Monday (2019)
Solid first two episodes. It feels a bit like Wolf of Wall Street but Don Cheadle is great. He's essentially his character from House of Lies but with better hair and a nice stache. The comedy works and I'll be following along.
Sex Education
Not what I thought this show was going to be at all. It has a ton of heart and the humor works so well. The cast is all fantastic and Gillian Anderson as this sexy cougar therapist is so amazing. I love that woman.
True Detective
The show gets better with every damn episode. The different timelines work so well together. The 3 leads are doing outstanding work.
Sliders Season 2 Episode 13
Sliders Season 3 Episode 1

Season 7 is fantastic IMO. A great rarity for Red Dwarf in that they set up cliffhangers and storylines over multiple episodes
and actually pay it off, a massive improvement to the cinematography over previous seasons, some insightful character exploration, some
massive emotional hits with Rimmer, and I thought Kochanski was an essential inclusion to finally break up the sausage party.
Just a shame that we never got a proper resolution for her character, but as with so many other things, the fault for that lies in Season 8 and its aftermath.

I've always thought the first two episodes of that series are as good as anything they ever did - the opening few minutes of Stoke Me a Clipper might be my favourite of the entire show.
Sadly after that it really does go downhill for me. Ironically, and contrary to popular opinion, I thought they improved things a lot with series eight.
Finished watching "Nightflyers" - despite the rave reviews that I think stem more from RR Martin's shit doesn't stink than the actual quality of the show, I was left underwhelmed. I finished it because I started it and not because I was compelled to keep watching - I did hope it would get better.
It didn't.
I'm really sorry to say that as well - I wanted it to be good (I want everything to be good) but this was poor on many levels (to my eye - maybe I'm missing the point).

About halfway through season 4 of
Game of Thrones now.
Spoiler
Joffrey deserved so much worse.
True Detective S3E7Answers a few questions while also leaving quite a bit to be resolved in the finale. Next week could make or break the season as a whole depending on how they can wrap everything up. The acting in this season though is next level.
Counterpart S2(Series?) FinaleStarz made the huge mistake of not picking up the show for a 3rd season and has cancelled one of the smartest shots they've ever made. J.K. Simmons is a bad ass in this show and I'm so happy with how they ended the season and possible the series. Surprisingly they left the show on a complete but dark note. Everyone should check this show out.
The Walking DeadThis was definitely a break in the momentum they've been keeping for a bit but the end left it on a great note for next week. The show is so good right now but with the recent rumors of more main characters leaving it'll be interesting to see what happens going forward.

I second this.
Vikings became a little too "fantastical" for my taste as the seasons went by. Still a great show though.
El Marginal
"The former cop Miguel Palacios (Juan Minujín) is jailed at San Onofre, under a fake name and a fake judicial case. His mission is to infiltrate a criminal gang of prisoners and prison guards, and gather information about the daughter of a judge kidnapped by said gang."
Really good. Should the premise interests you, I recommend watching.

You're right, but still, take a few steps back Oberyn
Oberyn got cocky at the end and was so focused on his confession he let his guard down. He got what he wanted in the end but I think he'd have preferred to keep his head in once peace :D
He was easily my favorite character of that season and the show up until Jon Snow became more of a badass.

Also "World War II in colour." (I don't know why either).
The Man in the High Castle season 3.

I'm beyond excited for it though.
El Marginal, season 1
Did expect a little more from the final episode but at least it didn't ruin anything.
Overal worth watching.
Gonna start season 2 later, which is a prequel series.
The Inbetweeners, season 1, episodes 1 to 5.
Was in the mood for something funny so I started this again. Already classic tv imo.
Sunday night I finished watching an anime called High Score Girl on Netflix. I really enjoyed it. I'm enjoying these romantic animes lately.

True Detective Season 3. The finale wasn't what I was expecting at all, but I liked it. It was a surprising end to an otherwise amazing third season.
Hell's Kitchen Season 18 Episodes 15-16
The Orville Season 2 Episodes 1-8

Season 2 of Hannibal - Blu-ray
Doing it differently this time and putting a week between each season.
4th journey down this road and it's still just as beautiful as ever.
Finished off season 1 of Amazon's Bosch last night.
I wanted the first episode of this ages ago with my girlfriend - I liked it, she didn't, and for whatever reason I never got around to watching any more until now. I'm glad I went back to it. It's a slow burn but I found it really compelling. I liked how it was so obviously noir yet played out mostly in the glorious L.A. sunshine. The digital photography was stellar too, especially the nighttime vistas of the city.
Looking forward to giving season 2 a go.

Finally, a c*nt in this show got the satisfyingly horrific death they deserved :P
That was the episode I used to introduce my ex to Thrones. The show doesn't really do bottle episodes, but Battle of the Bastards feels more like a movie than anything they've done to date, IMO.
Supernatural episodes "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "When the Levee Breaks."
The level of "underused" for Mark Rolston in this series is borderline criminal.

A friend of mine thought it would be funny to spoil the Force Awakens for me by texting me that Han Solo dies, whilst I was halfway through watching the movie for the first time. A few weeks later, the idiot decided to post that he was watching Game of Thrones for the very first time, so I replied with every single death in the show. He didn't talk to me for six months. It was a douchey thing to do, but he started it
:laugh: That's cold.
I recall someone online spoiling the Han thing for me too, but fortunately I'm no more than a casual fan of Star Wars so I wasn't overly bothered.

I kind of expected it to be honest, it seemed like he wanted out to begin with. But still, don't spoil things for people. Its going to be a tough few months, I normally avoid social media and even Youtube now because every channel seems to be a reaction channel.

Porters Season 2 Episode 1
Yeah this has lost the spark of the first series. Sure Danny Mays is good, but he's no replacement for Rutger Hauer. Also they are relying more on the fantasy stuff than the first series did
Sliders Season 4 Episode 1
Finally into unknown territory lol. Dont like the Kromagg redesign
MASH - Goodbye, Farewell and Amen
Still hits me in the feels. Very serious way to end the show, but it's so utterly well written and acted that it feels almost real.

Excellent Edit.
I'm sorry Poky but that's a movie not a tv show.
Incorrect thread!
Knightfall - Jeremy Renner produced Kinghts Templar romp. It's a bit like the History Channel's answer to Underworld - really pompous dialogue some great acting along side some hammy acting... poorly structured but still gobs of fun.
Or think of it as Game of Thrones' poor cousin that turns up and everyone knows its there cos its skint and needs a "loan".
Love, Death + Robots
Watched the first 5 episodes and wow .... ultraviolence, very racy too! Some stories are really out there and I'm loving the whole anthology and differing styles too. My favourite so far is Suits (Giant Mech farmers taking on bug invasions. It's Aliens meets Starship Troopers on the ranch).
Currently in the middle of Star Trek Discovery Season One, and seeing Rainn Wilson as Fenton Mudd was awesome. The episode in particular was legit Groundhog Day in space. :laugh:

Just one episode of

Incidentally, is there a reason the seventh season is three episodes shorter than all the others?

I think they essentially split Season 7 in two so we had half then and the Season 8 could be extended

Each episode is both thematically and visually different. It's great. The suits one (Mech farmers is my favourite for obvious reasons).
I didn't get round to it, ended up chatting to my daughter all evening about conspiracy theories (she's 14 and that stuff matters)...
I must check out more, though - I enjoyed the first one, but I understand it's getting some heat from some quarters for being sexist and exploitative - some article said that it felt like it had been written by teenage boys such was the level of boobs and gratuitous violence.
I dunno if that is an over-reaction or not, guess I'll have to wait and see.

Considering it's a psuedo-reboot of the
Heavy Metal film, my response to those complaints would be, "What the f*ck did you expect?" I'm all in favour of more equality in film, but that doesn't mean everything that gets made has to be sanitised.
While some episodes have violence and some nudity in it, it always fits well in the style,tone and narrative of the episode.
For me personally it never felt exploitive or sexist. It's not more nudity or violence in it than in other adult themed media like GoT etc.

It was cancelled, and I believe they were forced to tackle red dragon early. It easily could've been drug out for several more seasons, but they worked some serious magic and wrapped it up rather well. It literally ended on a cliffhanger, but it can stand as it is, if it has to. The ending was very well done. The quality stayed there.
It's coming back at some point though. The cast and crew have been itching for it and negotiations started just a year or so ago. Should be tackling silence of the lambs, so they say.
There's room for more, but the ending works pretty well.

Started season 3, two episodes in, quite average so far.
Beavis And Butt-Head
Always fun when you had a few.
The latest episode of the Walking Dead had a real good ending that got rid of a few more main supporting characters.
The quality of the show has improved so much over the last two seasons and it's a shame that it's the season we lost Rick and Maggie. And now we will lose Michonne next season. The only main characters that will be left Daryl and Carol at this point. We still have a few supporting players like Eugene, Rosita, King Ezekiel, and Jerry. We've lost a lot of characters though. The show is almost unrecognizable at this point.
Everyone I ever cared about from that show is dead. And they died within the first few seasons.
I had a weird relationship with that show. I really liked bits of it (mostly in the first three or so seasons) and was infuriated by others. I think I only really watched it because I had a mate who was really into it; when she moved away I stopped and haven't really missed it since.
Walking Dead is pretty much on the path to fading away.

I just could never get into that show, tried a couple of times, same with Breaking Bad, I just got bored after three or four episodes
Fear the Walking Dead is the superior show right now. The characters are great.
The Walking Dead has lost a lot of the characters I really enjoyed. The new characters haven't stuck with me yet. I've stuck with it since it aired way back when and I think I stuck through the really bad seasons because I didn't want to give up after putting so much time in but perhaps after this finale I may finally stop. Season 9 has definitely been the best the show has been since perhaps Season 4 or 5 but we've lose a lot of familiar faces to get here and it's a shame.

They need to wrap it up soon though, or else move it into the present day.
Odenkirk (saul) is getting noticeably older than he was in BB, and the show is supposed to be set well before BB.

They are knocking it out of the park this season. That said I find Sonequa Martin-Green really overacts the emotional stuff at times. Being a Trekkie I know the eventual fate of Captain Pike but damn Anson Mount's been so good for this season as has Ethan Peck as Spock (took me a while to warm to him but he's grown in that role).

On the plus side, it does mean that Rome is 100% gold from start to finish. I've heard that they wanted to "tackle Jesus" if they'd got another season, so maybe it's for the best that they stopped at 2. It's not like it feels unfinished, just a bit rushed towards the end.

Rome was incredible, is it true that the budget was slashed right before season 2?
Hmm if so, they did good with what they got. Season two still looked great.
I also read it was getting too expensive for them back then and they got cold feet. I guess at that time the budget for it seemed way too expensive for a TV show.
I believe BBC was co-financing Rome, and them leaving made keeping the budget up untenable.
From Wiki:
HBO Chairman Chris Albrecht announced in a July 2006 news conference that season two of Rome would be its last, citing the fact that the series (called "notoriously expensive" by Broadcasting & Cable) had been developed under a two-year contract with the BBC that would have been difficult for the BBC to extend due to the series' cost. Of the storyline, co-creator Heller said:
" I discovered halfway through writing the second season the show was going to end. The second was going to end with the death of Brutus. Third and fourth season would be set in Egypt. Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Palestine. But because we got the heads-up that the second season would be it, I telescoped the third and fourth season into the second one, which accounts for the blazing speed we go through history near the end. There's certainly more than enough history to go around."
Those 3 extra seasons would've been sweet, me thinks.
But we should be glad they were able to wrap up the storylines and give the show a decent ending.
I dimly remember hearing that there was some dithering about the cancellation shortly afterwards - that the season 2 ratings turned out better than they expected, or something like that. But by that point, the main sets had burned down in a fire, so it would definitely be too expensive to continue.

Just started Origins and was thrilled to find it's by my man Paul WS Anderson. And being from said auteur, its so far been an absolute mishmash of Blade Runner and Alien-esque settings. Intriguing story (I'm only two eps in so far) but so decidedly dodgy acting from Tom Felton. I feel really bad saying that too - I'm just not believing his assholishness (then again, you could blame the director, but I won't hear it *lol*).

I mean, I'm not sign-a-petition-demanding-they-redo-it upset or anything, but it wound up being a really underwhelming conclusion to an otherwise excellent series.
Doom Patrol, episodes 1 to 4
This is quite alright. Certainly better than expected.
Not sure how to describe it. Imagine a small group of misfit X-Men having adventures that are part of a larger story, set to the tone of more serious Deadpool. Something like that.
Family Guy
Re-watching, again. Still great.
First time I noticed Quagmire banging Marge Simpson, and later on kil her and the rest of the family. Must have seen cut versions before.
Historical Roasts with Jeff Ross
Tried watching a couple of episodes but either fast forwarded or turned it off. I like a good roast but this seemed forced.
And dressing up women as male characters because of a lack of female characters didn't work either.
Finished Deutschland 86 last night. Didn't enjoy it as much as the first series, but it's still a good show. It definitely picked up a little in the second half.

Depends on your own personal tastes.
Each season is a different and contained story.
Asylum was probably the most diverse. Zombies, serial killers, Nazi scientists, Satan, Aliens, crazed nuns, etc. But it's not sci-fi original material. It's solid writing with quality actors.
The newer seasons lost some of the quality, and "cult" went overly political from what I heard.
But seasons like Asylum, Hotel, and Freak Show won me over. It's a wild, violent and sexualized trip into insanity. But if you can deal with that, it's a full meal. There's a ton of content, and it's sold so well.
About halfway through Doom Patrol. Started out pretty strong but it's getting slower and more average.
Started the 4th season of Gomorra. Still quality so far. If you can appreciate mafia/crime series, I highly recommend it.
Almost finished the 3rd season of Brockmire. Little less crazy but still good.
Watched a couple more documentaries.
Who where would participate in a documentary topic?

Very true!
f**king Curfew - what a riot this show is - I'm part way through...
Spoiler
Couldn't believe it when Michael Biehn turns up
Synthwave and genuine 80s soundtrack, daft as a brush but superb. Billy Zane has no lines for 3 episodes I think. Literally, just hanging around being Zane, drinking champagne and driving to wherever they're supposed to be driving too.
And it has Sean Bean playing a Yorkshire Psychopath.
I'm having a hard time handling the win of this show. It's awesome.
I thought the first few episodes of that were a bit naff, then there was a really excellent one, then it got naff again and I gave up. On paper it seemed right up my street, but I just couldn't get into it.
Started watching The Expanse on the recommendation of a friend. Only watched the first episode so far but I'm already very glad he put me onto it.

AVP connections I did notice are Tom Jane from The Predator, along with Kristen Hagar from Requiem. Turns out she can actually act when given something to work with.

Another interesting Netflix documentary series.
It's about the host of an anti-crime tv show, who's also a politician or something, who gets accused of ordering killings in order to increase ratings, and other stuff.

Embrace the naff - come on, man. It's glorious - I'm loving it so much.
And the Expanse is on my watchlist - however, I've spent the past few nights watching "Constantine" TV show (as Matt Ryan is my teenager's crush at the moment) - it's pretty good, actually... a bit X-Files "monster of the week" but pretty violent and scary for a DC TV show.
Though, they went on to do Titans which is my favourite show of recent years.

I enjoyed Curfew. I felt it was worth staying to the end as it took a few interesting directions
Just caught up with the arrowverse season finales (apart from LoT). I'm intrigued as to what will happen in the Crisis in Infinite Earths next year.
Black Mirror, season 5,
episode 1: Striking Vipers
Meh...
Spoiler
Would've been crazier if the guy's kid was approaching puberty. And then at some moment, the guy's friend "plays" with kid without realising who it is, because of teamspeak/microphone problems.
episode 2: Smithereens
Nothing Black Mirror about this episode except that it involves tech. It was almost like some cop show.
The first two seasons and the Christmas special are still the best imo. They were rawer and more unsettling.
Tacoma FDTv show from Broken Lizard about the fire department in the rainiest city.
Killer RatingsThis was good but like most Netflix documentaries, it was too long.
Happy, season 2, episodes 3 to 6.
Going downhill a little. Went from pretty good to good/average.
River Monsters

Dead Set Episodes 1-3
SOA: Season 1 - Bluray
It's good to finally see the show again. And in hi-def for the first time.
Dead Set Episodes 4&5
Never actually saw these two episodes back when this was first one. Man a perfectly bleak story from Charlie Brooker. They could re-release it as part of Black Mirror
Empire Season 5 episodes 17 & 18
Im hearing that the next season is its last. Sadly its about time.
Warrior, episode 1 to 3
"Set during the Tong Wars in late 1870s San Francisco, California, the series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates to San Francisco from China, in search of his sister, only to be sold to one of the most powerful tong in Chinatown."
Pretty good so far.
Kinda hoping Deadwood's Mr. Wu (or at least the actor) will appear.
Black Mirror, season 5, episode 3
Another bad one making this the worst season up till now.
Happy, season 2, remaining episodes
This season went a little downhill around the middle but ended strong. Looking forward to the next season.
Certainly one the best SyFy Channel series ever. They're really stepping up their game.

"Oh! Ey! This guy!"
Loved it but didn't like it as much after multiple viewings. And the last season season sucks imo.
Still worth watching. Even it's only for Paulie and Silvio.
And the David Lee Roth cameo.
I appreciate that it was kind of a new thing as far as shows go, but there were too many stereotypical characters and stuff involved that it sometimes felt like a spoof. That, and I just couldn't care about the characters at all. I believe Kim Coates said nearly the same thing during an interview some years ago.
And it has arguably one of the worst series endings of all time.
The Sopranos S1 E1-6
Highly enjoyable so far. James Gandolfini is just so damn good. I'd argue it balances the crime and family drama better than Breaking Bad.

The Sopranos
Finished Season 1. My experience is similar to how The Wire went for me. I didn't immediately love it, but by the end I was totally invested. One of the best uses of Cream ever, too. 8)
Do you know Lilyhammer?
It's quite good and stars Steven Van Zandt (Silvio) as a similar character.

Getting towards the end of season 2 of
The Expanse. It's excellent. It takes quite a bit for a show to genuinely surprise me these days, but this one has, not least of all when it came to
Spoiler
Miller's fate on Eros. I can usually call bluff TV show deaths a mile away, but I genuinely thought he was going to buy it when the Nuavoo hit. So I was really surprised when it missed and he survived.
But not as surprised as I was when he then died for real in the very next episode :laugh:
Also started
Chernobyl. About halfway through the first episode Jenny refused to watch any more. In her defence, I think it might be the grimmest show I've ever seen. Fantastically put together though.

There's still a case for the Sopranos being the best show ever made, in my book. The seasons get progressively less essential, but the production quality, performances, main character writing and oodles of subtext remain at the first season's considerable height throughout the duration.

Watching the first season a second time to fresh up my memory before starting on season 2.
Still great.
Just started "The Expanse" - interesting so far. Has a very AlienVersey feel to it. "The company..."
I'm currently about halfway through season 3 myself, and loving it.
It is a little weird though how it so obviously concludes adapting one novel and then starts the next in the middle of a season.
I've not read the books, so I'm just gonna go with it - if was your recommend earlier in the thread that made me watch it, so thanks for that man!
No worries!

Season 7 & 8.
Unexpected twists,
consistently solid Directing and Writing.
Apart from a rare occurrence of unfortunate of it's time Gender identity related dialogue.

Nothing of note just yet. It's actually very well done. It reminds me a lot of Homeland in tone and visuals actually. I always associate the role of Ryan with Harrison Ford (who was playing a far older Jack Ryan than Krasinski is). That said Krasinski can pass for a younger Ford if that makes sense.
Wendell Pierce is a far more hard hitting and tougher Greer too (I always think of James Earl Jones in that role too).
More Bunk is always welcome.
I love the Ford Jack Ryan films. The series has been on my watchlist for quite a while.
Definitely worth it, I thought it was one of the more underrated new series last year (along with Lost In Space).
It's got a lot in common with early seasons of Homeland and 24, but feels more realistic. Krasinski is a big part of what makes it work so well though - he's perfect in the role, and very likeable.

Agreed on this. And as I stated previously for the continuity obsessed (ahem me), Krasinski can pass for a young Ford too. I couldn't get that from Affleck or Pine's films despite enjoying both.

Strongly disagree. I only felt let down by one episode, and only felt the sex was gratuitous in one other, even if it had a point of building to something else. Most of the nudity, sex and swearing is just aesthetic choice rather than plot, and if you don't like that choice, that's fine.
But personally I think you might be being a tad precious in writing so much of it off because of some cgi tits and a bit of cursing.
A lot of people feel Alien 3 has too much swearing too, but it's pretty much spot on for actual hardened criminals. There's definitely a time and a place for such content, and LD+R generally nails it.

This is the case. I found most of it was just added for shock value.

It's not only because of those points. I just wasn't that impressed by most segments concept and story wise.
Don't know about Alien 3. Been a while since I watched it. Not planning on doing it again any time soon.
Penny Dreadful: Season one
So-so. The ideas recycled for covenant are a bit on the nose. PROTEUS pouring the tea for his creator, the "you've a light step" line, and so on and on.

I hardly buy anything, and it was cheap.
The second season is an improvement so far.
That's good.
I watched a few episodes. I didn't hate it, just never got into it.
Well, I also watched some of it on YouTube and read the whole thing online first. So I didn't go into it completely blind. I'd heard the first season was a bit silly at times. It didn't really grab me right off. The guys playing Frankenstein and his monster did an excellent job though. The second season is earning its keep a bit better. I'm starting to see this guy's style and what effect it had on Covenant.
That thing with the kid though. One of the most brutal shots I've seen in awhile. I've got a cast iron stomach and it darn near grossed me out.
I wasn't as into Season 2. I thought the whole thing with the witches was a bit lame, and shoving them into Vanessa's backstory retroactively didn't work at all. That and the Dorian Gray and Frankenstein plots continuing to have nothing to do with anything got on my nerves.

I hear you. That's what killed season 3 of AHS for me. I can't stand anything with witches, it always feels too childish. And Dorian is serving no purpose other than to screw everything that moves. The Frankenstein angle is what's keeping it afloat for me. At least those guys are getting some decent writing.
I get the feeling this could've been so much better in the hands of someone else.
Falling Skies Season 4 Episodes 1-6
That was an unexpected and unneeded left turn i think

Wentworth, season 7, halfway through.
Still one of the better female prison dramas. Locked Up/Vis A Vis being my favorite. I think Wentworth even "borrowed" things from it.

Good/great. Looking forward to the next season.
Wu Assassins, season 1, episode 1
Starring that martial arts guy from The Raid, as a hero who's also an assassin. And Katheryn Winnick from Vikings.
Pretty good first episode.
Show is unrelated to the Wu-Tang Clan btw.
American Dad, season 11
Been rewatching the series. Quality goes up and down but it's still funny imo. Especially Principal Lewis, he cracks me up.
Finished Penny Dreadful. The third season started with great potential, but the last 2/3 of it quickly went downhill. A disappointing series overall. Far too silly and unfocused, with some really bad writing. I think it's the weak writing that hurt it most.
It's such a shame. In the hands of more gifted individuals, this show really could've been something special.
I never got around to Season 3, but I keep hearing about how awful and random the ending is. And yet John Logan still claims it was supposed to end there.
Transformers The Original Animated Series Season 3 Episodes 1-18
GLOW Season 3 on Netflix - three episodes down.
Still great as ever.

Black Mirror, rewatching 1-4 with my brother, so good.
Transformers The Original Animated Series Season 4 The Rebirth
A great ending to the American series. Although wish it had been the originally planned 5 Episodes or even a movie as some characters get short shrift
Wu AssassinsOne episode left. It's not bad only the writing and dialogue's weak at times. And like many Netflix series, it feels a bit stretched.
Cleveland ShowFirst time watching since its original release. Not as good as Family Guy or American Dad but still alright and really funny at times.

The first two episodes of Nicolas Winding Refn's Too Old To Die Young.
I's sooo slow. As if they took a movie of him and stretched it over ten (90 minute !) episodes.
As is expected with the Director. lol

West World: Season One
I really enjoyed the episodes I watched of Season One.
Top Gear series 27
Despite having no love for Paddy McGuinness, this is easily the best the show's been in years, chiefly because the new three-man team clearly get along so well together. Their chemistry is obvious and infectious.
Still plenty of the Clarkson-era nonsense and disinformation about electric cars, sadly, but at least the Tesla Model 3 got a good review.
Preacher S4E4 "Search and Rescue"
A much stronger episode than the last three.
Westworld: Season Two
Mindhunter, season 2, remaining episodes
Still good but went downhill imo compared to the first season.
Chernobyl, episodes 1-3
It's quality but I don't get the buzz around this series.
GLOW Season 3 Finished - As still as great as ever, but they went a little overboard on the cliffhangers I think.

Multitasking :P I've got one or two episodes of season 2 to go - I'm finding it's not a show I can binge, which isn't meant as criticism.
I don't think I'm enjoying the second season quite as much as the first, but it's still awesome. I mostly love that Ian McShane is so clearly having the time of his life playing Swerengen :laugh:
Apache: La vida de Carlos Tevez, season 1, episodes 1 and 2.
"This gritty dramatization of the life of Carlos Tevez shows his rise to soccer stardom amid the harrowing conditions in Argentina's Fuerte Apache."

Season 3 picks up the pace a little with some interesting things coming up.
McShane totally shines in his role as Swearengen. Some of the dialogues he delivers are (almost?) on par with There Will Be Blood.

Indeed!
And now I'm carrying a torch for Betty Gilpin (and have been since season 1)
I started binging Penny Dreadful - I have to say I'm loving the show... Season One was really dark... Season two is still dark but also a bit camp... I'm really enjoying it so far, though.
MASH
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, it's a beautiful and exciting journey for me. It's all that I expected 8)

Deep Space Nine Season 7 Episodes 1&2
Required watching at a point in time for me, I really enjoyed TNG. (And FC is a guilty pleasure.)
The first season of The Terror.
Great show, looking forward to start season 2.
Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones
Lethal Weapon Season 3 Episodes 1-3
While I am enjoying this, I do think they did Rigg's actor dirty
Instinct Season 2 Episodes 1&2
Essentially the second half of Season 1
The Terror: Season 1
Seems better this time now that I've read the book.
Mindhunter. Just finished series 2. It's a chapter in an ongoing story, and a little unsatisfying owing to the real events it's based on rather than the storytelling. That aside it's a great, great show and why has it taken this long for Junior to get a proper starring role?
Star Trek Enterprise: Season 3 Episode 10.So this one was very interesting.
Spoiler
They cloned Commander Tucker to basically extract the required tissue to save the real Trip's life.
I like the fact Archer has to make the really difficult moral choice here to save his commander for the sake of the mission at the expense of the clone.
The no so squeaky clean and ethically perfect Star Fleet! The whole Xindi arc has been very good.

About 5 episodes in to the first season and really enjoying the humor in the show. Plenty of relatable situations. This would have served as a solid survival guide in my younger 20s. :laugh:
Snowfall, season 3, episodes 5-10
Good season except for a terrible finale. It started with a flashback/dream something that lasted 35m, then the title appeared on screen. The title of the series I'm watching appears on screen after 35 fecking minutes. Wtf is wrong with tv. I experienced 5, 10 sometimes 15 minutes into the show before the title or opening credits appear but 35 out of 45 minutes is crazy.
Temple Episodes 1 & 2
Yeah this didn't grab me at all. Not much of a story to it

Another Life - the Katee Sackhoff science fiction show on NetFlix.
It's ... kind of sh1t... the tech doesn't really make any sense - in fact, not a lot of it makes any sense. And there's a lot of 60s star trek jumping around the set to indicate "we've been hit by something."
I'm going to persevere because I've done four episodes, but allow me to take the pain for you - even with my low standards, I can't recommend this one.

Holy crap, this was great. The first few episodes of the season were a bit eh, but it's picked up a bit in every episode since and I legit can't wait for the finale.
I finished "Another Life." It's just not very good, but I stuck with it till the end. Don't think I'll bother with season 2 (if there is one).
Started series four of Peaky Blinders. A couple of episodes in and already loving this more than the last few. And hey, if it ain't Royce!

Edit: finished the remaining episodes. They were ok but not great. But maybe I watched too many in a row, decreasing the overal enjoyment.
The cast is certainly what made this series. But just like Vice Principals, it's too bad it doesn't reach the entertainment level of Eastbound & Down.
Ballers, season 5, episodes 1 to 6.
Think I like it more than the previous season. Curious how they'll end the series.
Edit: it was cheesy but decent.
Gunsmoke
Wu-Tang: An American Saga
This wasn't bad. Wonder how the second season will turn out, if we get one.
Living With Yourself
Paul Rudd's good but the series itself is quite average.
Daybreak. It's actually pretty funny.
Bottom, season 1 and 2
Timeless comedy. I miss good ol' violent slapstick.
Perception Season 3 Episode 15
Well you could tell they didnt expect to be cancelled lol
Classic X-Files Season 1 - Squeeze.
Still my favourite TV Show. Funny watching Duchovny & Anderson looking so young.
Ah I remember seeing the promos for this back in 93 and thinking this show looks cool.
Young Sheldon Season 2 Episodes 1-3
Forged in Fire: Man at Arms Season 2 Episode 10
Forged in Fire: Armed Forces Episodes 3-4
City on a Hill. I wasn't at all surprised to see Ben Affleck listed as an exec producer in the closing credits, because this absolutely feels like a spiritual successor to The Town. One of those shows that, as well-made and competent as it is, is really elevated by the starring performance. Kevin Bacon's wonderful in it.
The Andy Griffith Show
Masters of Horror S1E8 "Cigarette Burns"
Not terrible, and not the worst from either Carpenter or this show, but it's not that great. It's mainly just kind of a poor man's 8mm with a supernatural angle.

Shame! :laugh:
20 Hail Johns and thou shall be absolved of thy sin.
Both 8mm and Cigarette Burns use a basic Lovecraftian approach: Main character on a quest for dark and forbidden knowledge, resulting in some form of madness.
Similar to Into The Mouth Of Madness and The Ninth Gate.

Yeah, I got that part. I just didn't think the episode as a whole was terrible well handled. Not unlike most of the Masters of Horror series.
I think I'll withhold my thoughts on Escape from LA, though. :laugh:
Masters of Horror S2E5 "Pro-Life"
Apart from some of the very good effects near the end and Perlman's performance, this was pretty bad. I know that the second season was basically just whatever scripts were leftover from the first, but this was just muddled and off putting.

Hannibal
What better day to start the fifth journey than Halloween?
The Deuce, season 3, episodes 1-3
Still great.
Anyone happen to know a good documentary about the crime in New York during that period?
I've seen pieces in documentaries about other things but none on the subject exclusively.

There are a lot of critics / vloggers out there that have a different take on this. They say that this was JC lashing out at the system by making a parody of the action movie and Hollywood in general.
I think that was too subtle for the 90s crowd - I certainly didn't get it when the film came out and I was struggling with the tone and why they would make a sequel that was a remake... but viewing with a revisionist hat on ... it kind of makes sense.
I learned also that Ghosts of Mars was supposed to be a Plissken movie. I love Ghosts of Mars anyway - adding Plissken to that would have made it... awesomer.
Hannibal: Season Two
So good.
X-Files
Season 5 Episode 4 - Detour.
Still creepy as I remember it. Very much a Predator meets Sasquatch type of episode.
Preamar, season 1
"A successful businessman loses everything and ends up bankrupt. Then he discovers the profitable world of the informal economy on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro."
Nothing special but the series takes place on the beach mostly, which is nice to watch with the current cold weather.
Atypical, season 3
Not as good as the previous seasons but still pretty good.
One of Netflix' better series imo.
Mayans M.C.
Started season 2. Wasn't really impressed with the first season but for the moment I got nothing better to watch.

Yeah, the Classic Albums series is always worth a watch, although obviously episodes are dependant on you being interested in the album in question.
Rick and Morty, season 4, episode 1
Decent season premiere with all the craziness that makes this show great.
Mayans M.C., season 2, remaining episodes
It's not bad but the writing trope they use is a little annoying.
It's always about secrets, the friction they cause which often leads some event, which becomes the new secret. Repeat.

@Hudakfuk & @WhiskeyBrewer just scored my tickets (for me and my son) to see Maiden in Australia next May on their Legacy of the Beast tour. CAN'T WAIT!!! The boy is excited too. They're playing on his birthday with his favourite band as support act too (Killswitch Engage).
UP THE IRONS!!!
Nice!
I really wanted to see them on this tour, but I saw them twice on their last and couldn't really justify it.
Nice one. I know youll enjoy it.
Wanted to see them on this tour as well, but my dad forgot to get tickets lol
They're coming over here this summer but it's at some big ass festival again. Not really a fan of those.
They're headlining the Saturday at Download next year.
If the rest of the day's lineup is decent I'd consider doing for the day like I did this year, but none of the other acts they've announced so far really appeal to me.
That's usually the case. A decent headliner, maybe two. And a whole bunch of filler.
With a bit of luck there might be 10 decent acts spread out over 3 days. And out of those, there are usually some you've seen before.
Then you read about old school festivals where you had Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and AC/DC playing the same day.
To be fair, the Friday that I went this year was basically wall-to-wall people I love on the main stage. Main reason I went along.
Flipside of that was there was about one other band that I would've paid to see over the rest of the weekend. But I'd seen them before anyway :P
I'm looking forward to hearing some of the old, old classics (Where Eagles Dare in particular).
Bruce doing Sign of the Cross is great too.
Yeah, that song's the highlight of
Rock in Rio for me.
If you looked through most of the stuff on my iPod (or that I've posted in this thread), you probably wouldn't figure me for a Duran Duran fan. But this is incredible.

Jeez - i'm getting old *lol*
Ffs, this conversation isn't helping me not spend money on tickets to see them again :laugh:
Yeah - I'm 48 and was seriously contemplating Download... spirit = willing. Flesh... not so much.
Hah, yeah, I couldn't do the full weekend again. But going for the day wasn't bad. Doesn't really matter how shitty the weather is when you get to have a warm shower and climb into your own bed at the end of it lol.

Season 1 Episode 5.
Absolutely brutal!!! Genndy Tartakovsky's very adult prehistoric animation show is fantastic. Like taking the best of his Clone Wars and Samurai Jack mixed with Metalocalypse's sheer ultraviolence on steroids.
Game On Series 1 Episodes 1-3
M.A.S.H. - The series finale.
A Christmas Carol - 1984 TV movie
A pretty impressive adaptation for a made for tv production. The way they did the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come as mainly in shadow, silhouette, and creepy as f**k sound effects was quite good. And of course George C. Scott is great, even if he sticks out as the single American surrounded by Brits. :laugh:
Started watching World on Fire with Jenny. I fully expected it to be a girlie romance series, but they've been quite canny with it actually, filling it with enough war carnage to appeal to blokes as well :P I'm getting really into it actually.
Although it's reminding me that I still need to get The World at War on home video.
Game On Series 1 Episodes 4-6
Watchmen Episodes 1-4

Captain Cook's Pacific with Sam Neill Episodes 4-6
The Hot Zone Episodes 5&6
I really hated the Lethal Weapon series lol. They took such a great property and made it into such a painfully generic show.
Damien Lewis: Spy Wars
This was an amazing series, Some great stories
War of the Worlds Episodes 1 and 2
Its an okay retelling of the story. The effects are great but the jumps forward really take me out of it
Mr Robot season 4. This is the best TV series (next to True Detective season 1) I've ever seen. Season 4 is my favourite so far. Everything about it is f**king amazing. Pace, suspense, dialogue, acting, cinematography, editing and so on.
Wormword - Netflix - 6 Episodes - 8/10
Some of the dramatizations were filmed unnecessarily over-artistic, but the documentary portions are great and just a chilling real life story.

Binged BBC crime/conspiracy drama The Capture over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Just about managed to stay on the right side of believably. Ron Perlman's involvement would've been a nice surprise if Sky hadn't plastered his face all over the promotional image for the show, despite his appearance at the end of the second episode clearly being intended as a shock. Nice going, Sky.

Krypton Season 2 Episodes 8-10
I'm really annoyed that this and the Lobo spin-off were cancelled. Wish they could have a Mini-Series to wrap up the story
Mandalorian Chapter 4
Directed by Dallas Bryce Howard (Jurassic Park) but this fun episode feels like it's straight out of the self contained Clone Wars episodes.
Really dug it and ...
Spoiler
The AT-ST coming out of the trees felt so much like Jurassic Park territory.
For me this show is THE best Star Wars since 1983.
Crusade
Fantastic Babylon 5 spin-off that got cancelled before its time. TNT messed up here.
War of the Worlds Episode 3
A much better ending than the series deserved. Although it did seem to just end
Spider-Man TNAS
Godfather Of Harlem, season 1, episodes 1-4
About Bumpy Johnson (American Gangster), taking place before the movie.
Starring Forest Whitaker, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lucy Fry, Paulie from Goodfellas, main guy from A Bronx Tale and other familiar faces.
Good, better than average, but not great. I miss good music. Guess it's too expensive to get the right.
Finished Season One of Jack Ryan... overall, it was excellent...
Spoiler
The climax was a little underwhelming, though... I felt like Suleiman should have escaped or had a more epic death. As it was... it was all a bit rushed and sudden... like "shit - last episode, let's do this thing" - but that can't undermine the rest of the show... I really enjoyed it.
Game On Season 3
Godfather Of Harlem, season 1, remaining episodes
Like the previous ones, good not great. But looking forward to the next season if there will be one.
Black Jesus, season 3, episodes 1-4
Starring John Witherspoon R.I.P.
Don't remember much from the previous seasons but I'm quite enjoying this.
Star Trek Discovery Season 1 Episode 1
For a first episode, not really much happens in full regards. But it does have me intrigued on where its going to go
Monty Python's Flying Circus S1 E1-4
But what if he's got a pointed stick?
Chernobyl: Episodes 1&2
The Witcher S1 E1-2
Overall it's a pretty enjoyable show so far, but it kind of just throws you in the deep end without enough world building. And the weird, Dunkirk-ish thing it's doing with three separate time frames running simultaneously isn't something I'm overly fond of. But if I get to see Cavill impale a dude to a door and chop his head off, I can put up with some issues here and there.
Castle Rock, season 2
Overal not bad, I just hoped for/expected more (supernatural) horror.
While it was more of psychological and family drama against a supernatural background.
Watchmen, season 1
Started strong, got weaker and when it was done I didn't really care anymore.
Too much familiar stuff and not enough weirdness.
O Escolhido aka The Chosen One, season 1, part 2
Supernatural drama about a cult centered around a faith healer.
It's not great, just ok, only reason I keep watching is because I want to know what's going on.
Father Ted
It's been a while. Still classic comedy.
Mutant X Season 1 Episodes 1-4
A show very much of its time. Lots of slow motion and all the characters are Martial Artists. I probably would have gotten more out of it, if i'd watched it on original broadcast
Secrets of the Titanic
The Witcher, season 1
Cavill was solid, everything else wasn't really bad except the storyline and pacing is all over the place.
One Foot In The Grave, season 1
Father Ted remembered me of this fine series.
The Goes Wrong Show Episode 1
From the team that brought us Peter Pan Goes Wrong. I loved it, so cheesy. Glad they got a series
Forged in Fire Christmas Special
It Will Kill.......This Christmas
Chernobyl: Episodes 3,4,5
National Geographic: Ghost Ships of the Great Lakes
Forged In Fire (Second Half of Season 5)
Love this series, though I do wish channels would say what Season the episodes actually belonged to lol
cause in the UK, the some get added from another season and then the order is mixed around

Now that was also an unexpected ending. But Brilliant all the same

The Enemy Within Episode 1
An okay show. Only has 13 episodes so sure it'll be a breeze to go through. Love the fact that
5USA spoiled one of the "twists" in the adverts for the show lol
Maron, season 1
"Series created and starring stand-up comedian/podcaster Marc Maron as a fictionalized version of himself."
Quite liking this.
Sick Of It, season 1, episodes 1 to 3
"Drama/comedy starring the guy from An Idiot Abroad, he plays Karl, whose closest companion is the voice in his head, a sardonic, outspoken alter ego who takes the form of his double – and appears periodically to guide, criticise and dispense his unorthodox philosophy of life."
I'm not big on the drama parts, but the comedy is right up my alley.
Beavis & Butt-Head, bunch of episodes
These guys still crack me up when I'm in the right mood.
WitcherSeason 1 Episode 3 & 4
Spoiler
The time jump really confused me at first but I'm digging this one more and more
Season 2 Season Finale
Enjoyed this season much more as it felt like it was going somewhere (a big problem with the first season).
The Man in the High Castle season 4
About halfway through. At first I was hella annoyed that they
Spoiler
killed off Tagomi in a really obvious "we didn't want to pay the actor to come back just for a few scenes" way, coupled with the fact the Himmler getting shot cliffhanger from the end of the previous season was basically completely ignored,
but the last few episodes in the middle of the season have been absolutely excellent, especially the flashback stuff to John Smith immediately following America's surrender.
Does watching a mind numbing amount of children's cartoons count lol cause I've watched enough wiggles ,Spongebob, max and Ruby, oddbots and that princess knight that I could recite it by heart ....

Rome: Season 1 Episodes 1-3
Decent enough so far.
https://youtu.be/x1oJt20VKrw
Season 1-4, + Specials.
The Witcher Season 1 Episode 8. Enjoyed this one a lot. Bring on Season 2.
Dracula (Netflix) Episode 1. Wow that was rather dark, gory, creepy and interesting.
Finished off The Man in the High Castle. As I feared upon learning that this was the final season going into it, the ending felt rushed, didn't really wrap anything up, kinda came out of nowhere and wasn't explained at all. A shame because otherwise I loved this show.
With that done, we've made a start on The Tunnel, which is basically a British/French remake of the Scandi-noir series The Bridge (which I've not seen but heard everyone raving about). Good so far.
Yeah, I really missed Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa in the final season. He always struck me as the heart of the series.
Just finished Rome. Decent overall, but it had tons of potential. Terrible shame it got cancelled so early.
Sex Education, season 2
Certainly as good or perhaps even better than the first season. Looking forward to the third.
Maron, season 4
Went a tiny bit downhill towards the end but overal pretty good.
Ray Donovan, season 7, episode 1
Ok so far.

Dracula (Netflix)
Episode 2 - Great. Ended on a very WTF cliffhanger though.
Episode 3 - Interesting at first after the initial shock from the ending of episode 2. But the ending whilst an interesting take on Vampire lore felt a bit rushed and hollow. Though it genuinely did have the mini-series most creepiest moment by far ... `Bloofer lady'
Shackleton
Curb Your Enthusiasm, season 10, episode 1
Brilliant. Laughed out loud several times. Even after a decade it's such a good series.
Ray Donovan, season 7, remaining episodes
Not bad, not good, but ok.
Picard episode 1
Again, not big on Trek, but Patrick Stewart's a British icon so I gave this a go. Ended up enjoying it a lot. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Dracula E1-2
I quite liked these first two episodes, very much looking forward to finding out what's allegedly so terrible about episode three. But I have to wonder, have we maybe taken the vampirism as sexuality metaphor too far when we're casting a guy named Bang as Dracula? :laugh: He's great though, all jokes aside.

Falling Skies Season 5 Episode 6-10
Finally finished this series lol. Took me long enough. Bit of a lackluster ending. Should have swapped plotlines from Season 4 and 5 around
The Outsider Episodes 1 and 2
Wow this is brilliant. Slow burning but it works. Makes me think of True Detective
Dracula E3
Maybe this was built up too much as the worst thing ever, but I didn't hate it in the slightest. It's a bit crammed, doing too much for even the generous 90 minute run time, and I could have done without some overly cheeky gags and one particular casting choice. But overall I liked it.
In Search of Darkness (2019)
"An exploration of '80s horror movies through the perspective of the actors, directors, producers and SFX craftspeople who made them, and their impact on contemporary cinema."

It is the same company. Love all the people they got involved, including Film Youtubers
CSI Cyber Season 1 Episode 13

Currently watching the last episode of The Man in the High Castle. Series has had its ups and downs, but the penultimate episode had such a twist that I'm hoping the last one holds up to it.

"Dinner's ready enemies!"
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984) S1 E1-2
I'm not huge on A Scandal in Bohemia even as a short story, but The Dancing Men was well handled here.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes S1 E3-4
Both very good episodes, despite some overacting from a supporting cast member in "The Naval Treaty". And "The Solitary Cyclist" is just great in general.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes S1 E5-7
And that's season one down. And overall a good one it was.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes S2 E1-3
A strong first half to the second season. "The Copper Beeches" is one of the best known Holmes stories, and throw in the bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2 and you have a solid adaptation. "The Greek Interpreter" is an interesting and more tragic than usual story, and "The Norwood Builder" is an excellent little mystery.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes S2 E4-6
And that season is done. Resident Patient is a solid mystery, and Red Headed League is, of course, a classic, and adding Moriarty as the man behind the plot is well handled. And episode six is The Final Problem. Eric Porter is a great Moriarty, and the episode is overall great. The fight between Holmes and Moriarty at the end does get a bit like the Bennett fight from Commando, though, with the grappling and silly faces.
The Return of Sherlock Holmes S1 E1-3
A strong start to the new series, even if Granada went a bit cheap and barely changed the intro. :laugh:
The Empty House is an old standby, and probably the blueprint for retconning dead characters back to life. We also get a new actor for Watson in Edward Hardwicke, who does a fine job picking up where David Burke left off.
The Priory School is quite dark, with some genuinely surprising twists and moving moments.
The Second Stain takes an interesting turn, showing Holmes to ultimately be a man of compassion as well as reason. Oh, and the bad guy from Mask of Zorro and Lethal Weapon 3 shows up as well.

TWD - Season 8
It sucks so bad. Thank God I got this on black Friday for $4.
I never really got the fuss over that show. There were some genuinely amazing episodes, but for everyone one like that you seemed to get two or three that ranged from boring to outright crap.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episodes 1&2
LA's Finest Season 1 Episode 1
Not that good and feels like its coming in half way through a series
Kidding Season 1 Episodes 8-10
TWD - Season 9
Finally, some halfway decent episodes.
Although the fact that Alpha looks just like Colonel Kurtz is rather distracting.
The Return of Sherlock Holmes S1 E4-7
"The Musgrave Ritual": Not amongst the very best of Holmes, but still pretty good. And the way they adapted it for the series and added Watson into the story was pretty clever and well done.
"The Abbey Grange": Overall this is a very good story with a strong solution to the mystery, and is another example of Holmes being compassionate in his course of action. It suffers a bit from getting too melodramatic and sappy near the end, though.
"The Man with the Twisted Lip": This was a bit oddly structured, which comes from the original short story, and adding the obligatory cold open didn't help. But overall it was another good mystery with a clever, unexpected solution.
"The Six Napoleons": A strong adaptation overall, with some good additions (including Counselor Troi) to the already classic mystery plot. It kind of turns into Holmes Meets the Godfather in a couple of places.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes S1 E8 "The Sign of Four"
Not bad for the first feature length episode the show has done, and overall a solid adaptation of the novella. Them changing the ending was a bit irritating, though, but I suppose they didn't want to have to hire on a new regular by marrying off Watson. :laugh:

It's awful.

Started rewatching Bosch, which I've been meaning to do for a while and the with a new season out I figured this was as good a time as any. Possibly my favourite of the Amazon original series that I've seen (The Boys was excellent, but with only one season out there there's not really enough of it). This is a real slow burner and I appreciate that, plus the cast is excellent.

So what I've been watching over the past few weeks.
Cardinal - Season 3 all of it. Forgot how good this show is. Billy Campbell is quite adept at saying very little whilst conveying so much emotion. I enjoy his quiet, restrained rage filled angst he portrays.
Clone Wars - took the plunge and got Disney+ which meant I could finally finish this show once and for all. Ripped through season 5 and about half way through season 6. Filoni, Lucas and co have done such a wonderful job with this series. Brought so much clarity to a sometimes muddled universe and for this self confessed Star Wars tragic I am very happy with that.
Deliver Us - Very good Danish drama about revenge and what it takes to take another human life.
Dublin Murders - too many coincidences for my liking. Great performances mind. Enjoyed the non typical ending though.
Blood - Enjoyed this look at a very dysfunctional Irish family and their descent into hell.
Safe - Hmm a bit too far fetched at times given Michael C Hall is a doctor who seems to be doing a better job than the police.
Marvel's Runaways Season 1 Episodes 7-10
The Blacklist Season 5 Episodes 21 & 22
Rome S2E8-10
Considering they had to massively change their plans because of the cancellation, this ended extremely well.
The Blacklist Season 6 Episodes 1 & 2
Cardinal - Season 4 and series finale. Nice way to end the series. Great show.
Clone wars - Season 6 Episode 10 - The Lost one. Great backstory on Master Sifo Dyas

Rebels Season 4 Episode 15 - The series finale.
That was a fitting ending but boy it left me hanging for more. The whole of season 4 opened up so much more mythos to the Star Wars EU and I thoroughly enjoyed.

Agreed. That show could've easily gone on for another two seasons but I'm glad it didn't go the route of Clone Wars.
I'm hoping that some of the characters will show up in the upcoming live action series because like you said, there's so much left unsaid.
binged the latest season of the handmaid's tale, such a great show

Clone Wars was probably 1 season too long but I did enjoy that final season arc (the last 4 episodes).
And yes let's hope those rumours of Ezra's story coming to either the Mando or something else happens sooner than later.
Snowpiercer
f**k this show is bad.
It is so bad.
But I have to keep watching because my wife and I drunkenly binged the first four episodes and now we're in too deep and we both hate it but we have to see how the season ends.
Will not be back for season two.
i didn't even realize they adapted it into a tv series ???
sounds like it doesn't stack up against the film? (never read the graphic novel)

Thanks Sil. I'll take your word for it. I was tempted but then thought how can they drag a story made for a 2 hour film into an ongoing series.
They don't do it well. I'm not sure what the comic's like, but the desperate intensity of the film is absolutely lost.
The whole thing feels like it was made by film students who watched a bunch of cool TV shows and then decided to take all the "cool" scenes and string them together. It's a late 90s TV sci-fi with more budget and by God did all of that budget go to Jennifer Connelly because they sure as shit didn't spend anything on the special effects.
There is no drama, there is only m e l o d r a m a. You could have a character fart in this God-damned series and someone would react like it was a direct insult to their entire lineage.

I totally expected what you stated to be the main problems in this show. The film was super intense and I thought drawing out that into a deeper look at the characters and adding more back story would lose so much. As much as I could look at Jennifer Connelly all day I'll definitely give this one a miss now.
Highlander S1 E1-8
Ha, I'd forgotten Joe Pantoliano showed up in this as a crazy ER doctor.
Finished The Boys and although there was a typical subplot of boy lies to girl, girl finds out and then boy must fix things; the show was fantastic. I know nothing of the comic or characters so I went in blind, that might've helped but it was a damn good show.
Highlander S1 E9-14
There's a huge uptick in quality when the show moves to Paris in Episode 13. And Darius is easily one of the more interesting characters in the entire franchise, shame he didn't last long.
Highlander S1 E15-16
One episode has the lead singer of the Fine Young Cannibals as the villain, and one riffs on Phantom of the Opera in a fairly entertaining fashion. This show is so odd.
Black Mirror - "USS Callister", "Black Museum"
Not really seen this show before, but I really liked these two.
Wayward Pines ... ok after 2 episodes I'm very curious now.
i watched the first season and it was surprisingly decent, i thought

both of those comparisons are fair! from what i remember, matt dillon never returned for s2 and i didn't bother giving it a shot
Highlander S1 E17-22
The season definitely ends on a bang. And Roger Daltrey shows up for the finale, because of course he does.
Highlander S2 E1-9
The show actually uses Dust in the Wind for an important character's death... and it totally works. And the Watchers/Hunters are a really solid addition to the lore.
Highlander S2 E10-12
In this group of episodes, we've gotten Roddy Piper and Jonathan Banks as villains. Watching Mike Ehrmentraut slap Richie around in the shower was hilarious.
The TV pilot for Badlands 2005 from 1988... a Mad Max style post-apocalyptic series made by the "other" George Miller... why didn't this become a thing??

Highlander S2 E13-22
I could do without the drunken French hobo they randomly make a regular, but the back half of the season is overall pretty strong. And I swear they used a Predator sound effect in the two part finale. :laugh:
Started The Expanse.. on episode 5 and it's picking up and getting better.

Persisted with Season 2. Wish I didn't. Trying desperately to feel important but it felt like it was simply dragging out til the ho hum ending. Unfortunately Jason Patric simply doesn't have the presence Dillon had.

Yep same here. Finished the whole season and the wife and I really enjoyed it. I loved the whole pace of the show - the slow pace and pauses, the whole repressed nature of the people on show. It was so well written and acted too. Bitter sweet at times.
Also started watched this one.
Definite nods to Carpenter's The Thing. Heck they're even watching the film on the TV in the first 20 mins.

Yes. You two are right. I already finished watching all 9 episodes. It may be less scary than the original, but narratively speaking it is even superior to the previous season. It was on the Hannah-centric episode that I started to really enjoy the show. I think the director took the Bent-Neck Lady style of twist to a whole new level. It's far superior and more creative than the cliches that one so often sees in ghost stories. I really love it and I definitely want to see more horror from Mr.Flanagan in the future.

Finally after a couple of years I'm back into this show. I'm not the biggest Marvel fan (I mean I enjoy the films but I'm not a diehard fan - more a DC boy) but this show is brilliant. I wish some of the Marvel films were as gritty as this one. Personal preference - don't @ me ;D

Goddamn cliffhanger finale.
Started Doctor Who the David Tennant collection. Haven't seen this stuff in close to 8 years...
The last one that I watched is The Queen's Gambit. The shows these days are very visually appealing and the gripping story makes the viewer want to see the next episode right away. I stopped watching the other series after finishing this one because I lacked sleep. My only other problem is something with the Netflix historical series. These depict a lot of the past events inaccurately.

I did, and then I looked up what was extra. Nothing major, basically just little character moments, but to me they definitely seemed like good ones. A couple of them really added a lot.
The Terror S1
Overall some really good shit. Definitely worth looking into if you like some period piece horror.
I'm up to episode two at the moment and enjoying it so far.

Been a while since I posted but I watched the first season of Fargo and loved it. Looking forward to seeing the other seasons.
Also watched a few episodes of Black Mirror and am now hooked. I really love the controversial social situations presented. Highly entertaining.
Started watching a German detective noir series set in the late 1920s called Babylon Berlin, and I'm enjoying it very much indeed.

It's pretty good, indeed.
Love the intro/music/the soundtrack in general.

I gotta say, living in Berlin is so much worse though ;D

ScandiNoir series that was too slow and spent too long on non-essential things in my opinion. Also
no one was really likeable
Finding Alice Episode 1
Bittersweet Drama about Grief and Secrets.

I really wanted to get into this show but the first episode left me somewhat intrigued but also a bit confused in that I was expecting more comedy. Should I persist? Not sure this is my thing to be honest.
Traces Episode 6
Tin Star Season 3 Episodes 4-6
Coming to the end of The World at War (not counting the bonus home video episodes). Equal parts fascinating and awful. A couple of bits have made me feel genuinely ill. Incredible series.

Cobra Kai Season 3 - up to episode 7 and it's disappointing so far.

Not the best episodes of the show so far, but not bad either. They also did a weird thing with episode eight where it was supposed to be the premiere but got pushed back, so it's a massive flashback.

A strong first two parts to a three parter. And I learned this week that Rygel is in Mad Max 1. :laugh:
Smashed through season 1 of The Toys that made us
Smashing through season 2.
What a trip this show is for me (both good and bad - the good being revisiting all those original Kenner 1977 Star Wars toys and then the bitter disappointment of the Transformers which reminded me how as a kid despite my parents best efforts that elusive Optimus Prime never made it to my collection).

I usually like Netflix's Docuseries but after watching the first episode it felt disjointed...wasn't sure if I was going to finish it or not.
Don't bother. They could've done what they did in four hours in an hour and half, and it will make you want to throw things at the telly. Bad on every level.

Oz Season 1
Watched this ages ago. About as good as I remembered, albeit a bit too hectic and sometimes too on the nose for my taste. Quite the milestone series nonetheless.
It's also fun to see so many familiar faces one automatically tends to associate wayyy more with different/later stuff (Bodie, Mr. Eko, Carmela etcetc).
Finished season 5 of saul.

Goblin Slayer and Lupin the III Part IV
Really enjoyed both for different reasons with Goblin Slayer been the much darker adventure that's not for everyone and not for the light of heart but I'm looking forward to a season 2. Then there's Lupin the III Part IV, the much more fun adventure that is my first entry into such a huge franchise (because from my research continuity isn't really a big issue in this franchise so there are several good places to start, this being one of them), and the more the show progressed the more I was outright hooked. Looking forward to Part V as well as the film Lupin the First.
The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 16
Finally got around to watching Star Trek Picard and I liked it. It wasn't your normal ST feel but I rather enjoyed it.
Manhunt - Deadly Games - Extremely addictive while being not terribly well written.

Twin Peaks Season 3 which is my favorite of all seasons. What a ride!
No I must watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYnF5hOhuM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYnF5hOhuM)
I adore Twin Peaks. One of my favorite things ever.
But I couldn't make it even a quarter of the way into that guy's analysis. :D
That's why I take my time. It's not something you should watch in one go :)
Lupin the III Part V
Man Lupin the III has become among my favourites, but besides seeing the movie Lupin the First tomorrow I'll probably take a break after that because I'm actually now worried about burning out trying to crank out through the rest of the franchise (with Part II having 155 episodes alone, like holy shit). So with Part IV and V done I'll probably return at a future point and in the long run take on other parts of the franchise in smaller pieces overtime.
After all, gotta make room in my schedule for other things too like Re:Zero season 2.
But I think it's safe to say Part IV and V and possibly Lupin the First are solidified as the "backbone" of my Lupin the III experience.

The Stand.
Last episode feels slightly superfluous. I know Stephen King wrote it, and I understand why, but it feels disjointed and extraneous, and out of sync with the pacing of the rest of the series.
Not sure of my opinion on how it compares to the 1994 miniseries. Gary Sinise was better than James Marsden, though.

Random Black Mirror episodes from different seasons. Interesting stories about "the worst case scenario" when it comes to hypothetical social (usually dystypical) & tech breakthroughs such as: A.I (season 5 episode 3), AR & VR (plenty of episodes but especially season 5 episode 1), social media (S3 ep 1), nano tech & environmental science (season 3 episode 6), some queer romances and even a mix between; racism, social darwinism and AR / VR (season 3 episode 5) :o I mean what an insane hybrid concept. This is more Twilight Zone than Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone, :laugh: even though the show focuses on science fiction and not Kafkaesque fantasy. What I like is that they don't go that far with the Sci Fi factor. The technologies of the show are future versions of the ones we use now, which makes it real 8) Also, Bryce Dallas Howard stars in an episode 💜 (s3 ep1)

First 2 seasons and Chirstmas special are the best.
Think they're UK ones. The remaining (American?) seasons still have great episodes but you can notice they're different. And imo less dark.
Bryce Dallas Howard is so fine in that episode.
Sidenote: there's already some kind of social score system in China. Creepy stuff.

Yeah, but also the tone. Maybe dark wasn't the right term. Raw or brutal perhaps?

You mean the title doesn't reflect the tone of the series?
I was talking about the tone of the first two seasons compared to the following US ones.
The first two are more dark, raw, brutal or whatever the right term might be compared to the later seasons.
Apologies, I'm aware I can be some what incoherent at times.
Yes, it is probably due to the writing and direction. Or maybe British English sounds more intimidating and everything looked gray due to the weather. :laugh:
But be that as it may, I agree. The tone is darker in the UK seasons, even the satirical episodes. When we get to US seasons, it is softer and even like a comedy in some places.
Farscape S3 E9-10
Nice Predator vision in episode ten. :laugh:
Queen Of The South, season 1, episodes 1 to 3.
Pretty good. Wanted to watch the original Mexican version but the first season isn't on Netflix anymore.
Lego Masters Australia, season 3, episodes 1 and 2.
Nice background tv.
Queen Of The South, already on season 2
Still good.
I'd recommend it to anyone who like Narcos type series.
Finally started The Expanse season 5 last night.
Though it pains me to say it, I struggled to get into it, mostly because it's been so long since I saw the last season I couldn't remember anything that was going on. Might have to rewatch some of it.

That Scorpius backstory stuff was the best.

The Expanse is one of my top 5 sci-fi shows at the moment. Top of my list is
For All Mankind. Just finished the latest 2nd season. I don't know why it doesn't get more attention, maybe because Apple+ isn't more popular. A shame really. Ronald D Moore has excelled himself here.

Will give that one a go TC. Thanks for the recommend.
I also recommend Devs by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation).
Limited streaming series. Sci-fi tale about quantum computing and metaphysics.

Alice in Borderland: Season 1 = ep 1 - ep 7
Queen Of The South, season 2, remaining episodes.
Still good but not as great as the early episodes. Also read the original Mexican series is different. Wish I could've watched that first but I don't have access to it.
Snowfall, season 4, episodes 1 to 4
Still, ok, but not as intriguing as the previous seasons.

Green Wing, season 2, episode 1
Was lucky enough to catch this on tv. Still as brilliant as it's crazy as it's funny.
Orange Is The New Black, season 3 somewhere.
Second viewing. Kinda better if you already know the background stories and are able to fastforward through them.
Snowfall, season 4, episodes 5 to 7.
Little better than the previous episodes but still not as good as the previous seasons.
Lego Masters Australia, some episode
The end result is usually fun to watch but it's only 10-15 minutes out of a 60 minute episode. Cut it down to 30 minutes or show 2 projects instead of 1.

I actually found this season overall to be the best since the second.
... And that's all she wrote. The last ever(?) episode of
Line of Duty.
Spoiler
I think it fizzled a little but ... not sure how you end a show like that to be honest.
Is it the last though...?
I still find it odd they got James Nesbitt in to appear as nothing more than a photograph. I guess it was just a cleverly-played red herring, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they did another and he actually makes an appearance.
Spoiler
I'm with you on it perhaps not being the most thrilling ending, but I actually liked the idea that one of the masterminds was a bit of a clueless f**k-up :laugh:

and yes I agree with that too. As I read elsewhere in the real world it's rarely the moustached super villain but usually an incompetent lackey doing it all. I was hoping H was DCS Carmichael but that was too obvious. She was well acted and written though.

Carmichael definitely would've been too obvious, so I'm glad they didn't do that. Right from the off I called her being a hateful bitch, but probably a straight hateful bitch.
I'm really tempted to re-watch the whole series actually, to catch all the links I undoubtedly missed and see if there's any foreshadowing that jumps out with a repeat viewing. I originally saw the first three or four series back-to-back because I missed them when they were first on, and it made the connections, a lot of which tend to be mentioned quite off-hand, much easier to catch.
The sadist in me also wants to see if there's anything that just doesn't add up knowing what we know now :laugh:

Channel Zero: Butcher's Block episode 2.

Candle Cove, No-End House and The Dream Door. That last one was my second favorite after
Butcher's Block. Actually, some creative liberties were taken for good considering the source material: a creepypasta like in all the others seasons. :laugh:
Farscape S3 E15-16
Once again, a really strong pair of episodes. I finally remember where I recognized Crichton's father from, he was Captain Pilgrim in Predator 2. :laugh: And seeing Jool have to wade through shit was a definite highlight. :laugh:

Finished season 4 of Vikings and was not disappointed! Show starts off just ok in season 1 but by the end of season 4 it's a really good show. Just gotta get over that first two season bump...
Yea, first two seasons have more of a History Channel vibe. It then gets more Gameofthronesy and also more trippier.
All in all: more interesting, better.
more ;D
"Serpent" on Netflix. All 8 episodes. Worth a watch and a true story!
Plus the U.S. sitcom "Mom" ends tonight after multiple seasons. :(

Ancient Civilizations, season 1, episode 1
Seems a little similar to Ancient Aliens. And featuring my "buddy" Graham Hancock :D
Showed some stuff that influenced Prometheus and even used a bit of footage.
One thing I hate about documentaries like this, if when some author says something like "This was wrongly translated and actually means this."
Might be right, might be wrong. Either way I'm too lazy to research ancient Sumarian to see if the person's correct.

Certainly should be a lot cheaper than a single movie.
Mayans M.C. - Season 3, remaining episodes
Quite the letdown. Ending with some cliffhanger leading up to a big scene which we'll probably never get to see except in flashback montage form in the season premiere of the next season.
Archer, season 1, episode 1 to 5 or so.
Imo they picked the wrong voice for the main character. Doesn't help that it's the Bob's Burgers guy either.

I wish I could say that. I'm Witcher maniac since late 90s. I've read all books several times. Didn't like first season at all. Hopefully they gonna correct things in upcoming season.
Yeah but if I recall correctly you're not big on LOTR's film adaptation either so I'm not sure what might please you. 😅
Though indeed especially the beginning of the Season and the final fight between the various Sorcerers and Triss in general did not work for me honestly.
So I also certainly hope the upcoming Seasons will be a big step up in quality.

The Fellowship of the Ring each time I watch it. If only the rest were as good as the first one. Regarding
The Witcher, believe me, if you read the books, which I highly recommend, your opinion about TV series would probably change. For worse.
PS My favourite fantasy movie ever is ...
Conan the Barbarian. I'm not kidding. It's so simple and yet it works.
Each's just as good as the others if not better in their own ways.
And I have read The Last Wish actually, multiple times, I have struggled getting into the others for years though.
That's great. Give it a go if you can. It's a quick read. Very compelling.

Girl from Nowhere ~ season 1 : eps 1- 4
I'm still not quite sure what's going on, but yeah...a mysterious thai girl doing bad things (in a way punishments) to expose people; initially bad people, but now not so bad people too, including teenagers like her through different schools. She just appears out of nowhere, and she can practically do...well...anything which makes me wonder if there is something supernatural going on, or maybe it's something else. I still have to finish the season.
Finished the first season of The Terror again, and now on to binging King of the Hill.
Slowly making my way through Castlevania S4. Think I'm losing interest, TBH.
Also started watching Pennyworth. I'm interested but not sure how much it'll hold my attention, either.

World of Tomorrow, which features some fresh sci-fi ideas. 8)
The rest of the season was just as solid, Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and David Thewlis were great. The latter played the peculiar villain of the season. A smile spread across my face as the insane criminal mastermind claims the man never made it to the moon while explaining to the banker and CEO the company's upcoming adventure. The horror face of the banker played by Michael Stuhlbarg is priceless. :laugh:
Black Mirror ~ S1 ep3 / S4 ep4
The first takes celopathy to the next level in the show's usual context of technological dystopia. I wonder if these techs will ever exist. We already have their predecessors, but if so, God help us. :-X

I had almost given up on this show as I found it rather misfiring a lot. Then episode 7 happened and whilst it was a nice trip down memory lane I must admit it had me wishing more of Riker and Troi in the show. The dynamic was nice. And finally Picard himself is starting to find his feet rather than a piss weak timid man.
I'm no prude but F bombs in Star Trek still seemed wrong, forced and out of place - seems an attempt or excuse to be edgy and appeal hip.

More drama than action but pretty good so far.
Started rewatching season 1 of The Boys, partly because I've not seen season 2 yet and it's been so long I forgot how the first one ended, partly because I thought Jenny would like it and I wanted to show it to her. I knew it was good, but I'd forgotten just how good it is. Fantastic show. Homelander's such a c**t :laugh:
halfway through S2 of ragnarok, some good ol' norse mythology fun
Expedition X
American Werewolf episode. Pretty interesting, though it's likely to just be a real wolf.
Farscape S4 E7-8
A bizarre comedy episode and then a Die Hard clone set in space. A good pair of episodes overall.
The Expanse - Season 4 episodes 1-5. I love this show.
Lisey's Story - Season 1 episode 6. Slow going this show at times but I feel the pay off will be worth it.
Physical - Season 1 episode 5. Rose Byrne and co are simply brilliant in this dark dramady.
Rick & Morty, season 5, episode 3
Another crazy episode.
Everybody Loves Raymond
Frank always made gettin' old seem less boring.

It's another of those painfully unfunny American sitcoms where someone says a completely generic statement then the audience bursts out laughing for no reason.
Tales from the Loop
Bosch. Finished the final season. I can't recommend this Amazon Prime Show enough. Worth the watch!

I dunno, I've always found it rather funny. It was a big hit show in the US. Maybe, perhaps the humor just doesn't translate that well.
I can't even remember the last time I've ever heard a laugh track being used, as if there's something old and obsolete about a prompt trying to tell us "What are you stupid? Laugh you uncultured piece of shit".
Either that or I'm just not looking in the right places these days.

Still constantly being used by crappy/average sitcoms, usually of a short run.
Not necessarily to point out a possible funny, but often to mask something unfunny.
Think there's articles about how some might even sound like a serious drama without the laugh track.
There's also an excellent It's Always Sunny episode on the subject ;D
There's an excellent video online of
Big Bang Theory with the laugh track removed and it proves just how painfully unfunny that show is.

*Even if they're actually carrying it on.
I Think You Should Leave, season 1, episodes 1 and 2.
Pretty funny sketchshow on Netflix.
Guerra de Vecinos, season 1, episodes 1 to 3. Or 4.
A lower class Mexican family wins a mansion in a fancy secured neighbourhood which leads to a rivalry with the neigbours.
Anything but original but nicely done and entertaining enough.

Well both were filmed in front of a live studio audience, even though I would assume pre-recorded laughs are sometimes inserted as well. But I especially enjoy those moments when the audience can't stop laughing and an actor is trying to hold it in and the pause between dialogue lasts longer then intended. That actually happened pretty often with Everybody Loves Raymond.
But Big Bang Theory I loved, so I gotta disagree there. Not many shows bow out while still being the #1 series in ratings. I think the last to do that in the U.S. was Seinfeld.

I think Jim Parsons (Sheldon) wanted out. Without him, it would've been much.
Thought the show was fun but it got worse as it went on. Less "nerd" stuff and more relationship storylines.
Btw, ever saw the unaired pilot? Starts with them returning from Comic Con, and Sheldon got laid. :D
Not sure it counts as a TV show.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness
It's four episodes which have blatantly been chopped up from a CGI movie. It's... OK? Very similar to all the other RE CGI movies. Some bits don't make sense. Claire is underused, and kinda pointless. Leon is a badass, as always.
The Expanse - Season 4 Episode 8-10. Love this show so much. It's has grown with each season.
Lisey's Story - Season 1 Episode 7 Persisting with this one but boy it's painfully slow at times.
Physical - Season 1 Episode 6. Rose Bryne and co keep knocking it out the park.
Farscape S4 E9-10
Sadly the episode guest starring Bruce Spence is the worst so far, but the next one made up for it.
I Think You Should Leave, season 1, remaining episodes and season 2.
Not always as good but overal pretty funny.
Guerra de Vecinos, season 1, reamaining episodes.
Quite enjoyed this. Hope it gets another season.
Atypical, season 4
Bit "sad" too see this series end.
KISStory: a KISS biography docu
Pretty good. Loved the old school footage. Funny how grainy smoky footage sometime's better than clear air hd video.
Lot of stuff I didn't know. I like them, but I don't consider myself a fan. Or perhaps a very average one.
Think they're doing another farewell tour, might go as I've never seen them live.
Started on season 2 of
The Boys.

El Cid, Season 2 (2021)
Rating: 6 out of 10
Season One was much better. I'll work on a more in depth review soon.
Blood & Thunder: The Sound Of Alberts
Docu about an Aussie record label featuring The Easybeats, AC/DC, The Angels, Rose Tattoo,...
The Good Lord Bird
Super Entertaining. Funny as hell. Highly recommended.
M*A*S*H
Can We Take A Joke (2015)
Docu about offensive factor of comedy. And how at first it was the cops and goverment vs comedians, and now it's audience members or random people who make a fuss.
The NYHC Chronicles (2017)
Docu about the New York city hardcore scene.
Not bad but could do with some improvement.
Another re-watch of Narcos: Mexico.
I think my Spanish is improving because I'm starting to notice some subtitles aren't directly translated.
Modern Family
Second viewing. But this time it's mostly as background tv.
Kinda funny that after over a decade, the little nerdy girl is now the hottest woman of the bunch.
Sidenote:
theory: after all his suffering Al Bundy has been reincarnated and is now successful with a hot wife.
Still El Cid, Season 2.
6/10
Some Bob Ross.

It's one of my favourite shows. Some really, really bad ones throughout, but even when it's bad Falk is entertaining and watchable.
Oh yeah, Falk is great.
What are the bad ones for you ? I've heard Last Salute to Commodore from 70s and No Time To Die from the new bunch are exceptionally bad (truth be told I've skipped them)
If I had to choose one Grand Deceptions is probably my least favourite - it felt like whole lot of nothing and barely could hold my attention
The weirdest one is Undercover - it felt like an episode of completely different show with Columbo thrown in
I really liked the final one - Columbo Likes The Nightlife. Not because mystery was exceptionally great or killers were all that charismatic. But it's interesting to see such a drastic contrast between this one and 70s Columbo. It offers much bleaker, nihilistic view of the world. So much have changed in these 35 years - world is a totally different place now and Columbo feels like a relic of a different era. You can't even be fully satisfied with Columbo catching them - chances are they would get executed by mafia long before they reach court room. So melancholic, I love it. Even though it wasn't supposed to, I think it finished the show on a nice if somewhat dark note
There was one with Billy Connelly that just felt like a drag; another with Patrick McGoohan that just ended with everybody laughing? Last Salute to the Commodore I had scrubbed from memory until you reminded me and it brought back nightmares. The revival ones were hit and miss but I'm with you on the finale.
I think at its worst the show was boring more than anything. Knowing who did it always meant the fun was in how to solve it, and in some cases that just lacks drama or goes in very roundabout circles to pad the runtime.
Quote from: SiL on Jul 31, 2021, 01:41:47 PM

Quote from: SiL on Jul 31, 2021, 01:41:47 PM

Nothing really comes to mind but there's Agenda For Murder where Columbo tells a bad joke and McGoohan stays still for about 10 seconds only to burst out laughing.
https://youtu.be/YbQQMW-AHTs (https://youtu.be/YbQQMW-AHTs)
It wasn't a bad episode but gotcha stretched believability for me
Speaking of McGoohan - I really liked him playing a kernel in By Dawn's Early Light
Who's your favourite - Cassidy, Culp or McGoohan ? Cassidy wins me over with his charms and predatory smile. Plus his first episode has benefit of a truly memorable score
Farscape S4 E15-16
An excellent pair of episodes, with one hell of a cliffhanger at the end of 16.
DS9 - Season 1 - Episodes 5-7
Ted Lasso Season 2 Episode 2. This show just gets it so right!
Cocaine Cowboys, episodes 1 and 2 of this spin-off of the original docu, this time about two Miama drug kingpins.
Good stuff with a lot going on and still 4 episodes to go.
Started watching Goliath on Amazon. Excellent so far, and Billy Bob Thornton is fantastic in it.
Tickled (2016)
New Zealand documentary about "competitive endurance tickling" and videos featuring it, and the practices of those producing the videos.
The film explores possible legal and ethical issues with certain individuals making the videos, and has itself been the subject of legal challenges. A follow-up special, The Tickle King, aired on HBO in February 2017.
Weird but interesting and worth watching.
Hannibal

Seasons 1&2 out of 3. (6/5)
I devour this series about twice a year. Bones and all.
Watched alot lol:
Wellington Paranormal Season 3 Episodes 2-6
American Dad Seasons 1-5
Superstore Season 6
Family Guy Seasons 12 & 13
Life Season 1
War of the Worlds (1988) Season 1

Duncanville Season 1
Angel Season 1-5
Tales from the Crypt Season 2 Episodes 1-5
Mega Man The Animated Series Episodes 1-6
Red Dwarf Seasons 1-8
The Head
Watched episodes 1-5 of 6. Thriller set in an Antarctic research station where there's a murderer on the loose. Starts off with the characters watching The Thing, and it definitely continues the themes of paranoia. Unless the quality tanks in the final episode, I'm highly recommending this one!
Farscape S4 E17-18
A surprise appearance from a young Jason Clarke. :laugh:
Dr Death - Final two episodes ... wow. Just terrifying to think this was all real. Watched the documentary series too. Scary. Truly scary. Glad he's locked up away for life. Shame the boards at the hospitals involved aren't also behind bars too.
S.O.Z: Soldados o Zombies (Soldiers or Zombies), season 1, remaing episodes
Not bad but the pacing is a tad slow. With only 8 episodes this seemed like the slow first half of a movie.
Cocaine Cowboys, remaining episodes
Typical Netflix to drag things out a little but overal a fun and interesting docu series about big time Miama cocaine dealers.
Makes me think, a Narcos: Miami series could be something. Especially if they'd cast some of the actors who voiced characters in GTA: Vice City.
Ted Lasso - season 2 episode 3: Excellent episode. Love this show so much.
Physical - Season 1 finale. Quirky, dark, funny, well written, well acted and interesting. I really like this show.
DS9 - Season 1 finale and Season 2 EP1. Season 1 really tried to go down the story of the week routine of TNG but now it's starting to find it's feet more around the ongoing story arc of Bajor, Cardassia and the Prophets ... bring on the Dominion!
Hannibal: Season 3 (6/5)
Counterpart
Watched the first 3 episodes. J K Simmons is always good. Show is very reminiscent of Fringe, even down to the theme song.
Total Recall 2070
Slowly making my way through the series again. It's basically Blade Runner the TV show. Interesting what a low(ish) budget TV show from 1999 thought the future would look like.
Farscape S4 E19-20
Really good first two installments of a three parter.
Black Monday, season 3, episodes 1 to 5
More serious and not as good as the previous seasons but still alright.
The Source Family (2012)
Docu about a hippie cult in the 70's. Quite interesting.
They actually started out somewhat normal but turned into the usual cult stuff, minus murder or aliens.
They also made music, in their short existence, they made about 60 albums
COPS
The Kominsky Method Season 1 ep5-6.
Like the modern day Odd Couple. Douglas and Arkin are dynamite in this show.
M*A*S*H
DS9 - Season 2 Episode 5-6
It's amazing how much genuine and superior 'old' Trek is compared to the more recent series (and this is someone who enjoys Discovery and the Kelvin timeline films). I could literally watch a whole series dedicated to Quark and Odo.
They were exploring very important socio and political topics without it feeling forced, tokenistic or on the nose.
Also didn't have to put up with the lead character in tears and over acting every episode.
Farscape S4 E21-22
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? That's how it ended before cancellation? At least the miniseries exists to tie it off.
Watched the season finale of Superman & Lois. I think that was one of the best portrayals of Superman I've seen in a long time. Not specifically because of Tyler Hoechlin, but the season was well written, seemed to have a decent budget, and didn't feel as formulaic as the other CW shows.
Children Of The Cult
Docu series about The Children Of God, an international "Christian" cult, heavily involved in pedophilia, child labour, sexual trafficking,... on a large scale.
Sickest cult stuff I've seen. And the crazy thing is, they're still active, they just changed names.
Tales of the Grim Sleeper (2014)
HBO docu about a serial killing pervert
The world is f'd up and justice often is a joke.
Godfather Of Harlem, season 2, episodes 1-3
Good start of the second season.
Not too big on the often use of modern music though. Aside from that, pretty good.
Hernán, season 1, episodes 1-5
About Hernán Cortés, Spanish conquistador of the Aztecs.
Good stuff. It's no Apocalypto but the setting's pretty much the same. Worth checking out if you have an interest in this.
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars - Part 2
Excellent conclusion to the series overall, aside from the weird way one character just sort of disappears.
Clickbait ... Wife & I binged all of it. Not sure why we persisted with this but oh well. The ending was rather silly.
Ted Lasso Season 2 EP 7. Very good.
Finally started watching Hannibal the last few days and can finally say that I understand why people love it. I'm about 9 episodes into the first season and it's pretty damn good.

I think the second's the best by far, although I do love the first and like the third.

Excellent ending to the season.
Midnight Mass
There were very own Mike Flanagan moments at the beginning that made me think it would be another romantic drama with ghosts, in the spirit of Hill House & Bly Manor. Seeing familiar faces from the aforementioned series also fueled such thought. Well the true is that it's still a drama, but this time the supernatural thing is something else. Some monologues become somewhat frustrating in the final episodes, but it is still a quality mini series. Loved the religious horror approach.

Did that start already? I missed it. I thought the first series 4 did was kinda rubbish (likely hurt by the fact it was made at the height of lockdown) but the last one was really good.

Switched from being a comedy to a drama, and stilled maintained its quality.
Squid GameLoved it right up until the last two episodes, not because the quality dropped, but personal taste.

I really wish they'd just rounded off the story of this game and had season 2 be its own thing. Gi-hun taking the money and trying to better other people's lives to prevent them feeling the need to accept the brutality of the game out of desperation would've been a much more rewarding conclusion to me. Setting up him going back to try to defeat the hosts feels like a shitty cliffhanger I just do not have time for.

My girlfriend and I watched the last 2 episodes last night. We were so angry that he didn't stop being a bad father. I get that he wants to stop it, but if he's going back in there's a good chance he'll die, without even seeing his daughter. Just wanted him to be a good father for once, especially now he can afford it. Frustrating. Ruins what character development he had.

That's it exactly. He's there to get out of debt so he can be a father to his daughter. Then when he gets the chance he bails on her again. Sure, for a better reason - some form of altruism - but his story is about him and his family, not him turning into a hair dyed anime hero.

I didn't like it. Although the actor who plays the priest is really very good.
I felt empathy toward his character in Noah's Legion thanks to his acting skills. I also liked the

delusional religious fanatic lady. I think Mike Flanagan did an Alien's Ripley (with a villain though) by not giving so much special focus to the character who turned out to be the final antagonist at the end. Of course It isn't by any means entirely unpredictable, but it was well played since the main opposing forces were Father Paul and the "Angel".

The show pissed me off so severely in the first few episodes that I actually dropped it and wasn't going to pick it up again.
In the end I did, and I suppose it was worth it for some of the priests' monologues and a few of the Angel scenes, but ultimately it was already so tainted for me that I didn't get much out of it.

The cat genocide (all killed in a very specific way that is essentially how I lost a beloved pet of 14 years) being treated as a vaguely unsettling mystery yet in the same breath a single dog dying being framed as a profound personal tragedy. I was furious, and even though I gave the show another chance after a lot of convincing, I'd give the writer a cheeky left hook in the mouth if I ever met him.

Sorry to hear about your pet. I can get how that would permeate really deep for you then.
Wait your pet passed away in a similar fashion? ???
Yes, had his throat ripped out.
Ugh, as a cat owner myself, I can't even imagine. A Pitbull just did the same thing to a cat in my area this week. Really sorry brother.

I liked this season a lot more on a rewatch. It still lacks a central focus, and most of what's here only barely comes back in Season 5 from what I remember, but in itself I think it's quite good.
Yeah, mostly four winds up feeling like setup for a season that never happens.
That said, some of the Bubbles stuff towards the end might be the best the show ever got. Genuinely crushed me.

It's definitely better than the second series in Haunting's anthology.

If there's one thing that bugs me about the Nolan Batman films, it's how everyone discusses everything to death. There's some great monologues in there, but it gets really tedious after a while.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain/i]
I think the monologues of Midnight Mass are much more substantive and necessary than most believe particularly the last one.
The message, maybe. The unnecessarily drawn out delivery, absolutely f**king not.
The series was great, but could've been 5 hours, or even a solid 2-2.5hr movie. A lot of it was just languid for the sake of it.
I mean, I'm a fan of Alien³'s Special Edition so don't trust my judgment on pacing, but it worked fine for me. I'd always rather something be overlong than the opposite personally. Apart from Aliens or any James Cameron film honestly though.
I'm happy to sit there and chill in the moment if I think there's actually a benefit.
Someone giving A Brief History of Germ Theory to explain why they think a person sounding crazy doesn't mean they're wrong, when they have explosive blood in the next room that neatly demonstrates why they believe the person? Come on.
Dopesick episode 5.
Amazing show. But watching it I keep thinking surely this can't be really what occurred but yep it is - big Pharma's activities laid bare. Absolutely diabolical.
Amazon's Tales from the Loop - s1ep1
Finished Hannibal Season 3 and I'd have to say it was the weakest of the three season run for the series but had some good episodes peppered in.
It was also nice to have a series end and being happy with how it did for once.
I still stand by my accounts if Mikkeleson being a far better Hannibal than Hopkins.

Re-watching the original Charmed series. Only on season 1, but I think I'm in it for the long haul.

Currently on the last episode. Really good legal and medical drama based on a true story. It's shocking and horrifying. Makes my neck crawl. Joshua Jackson is great.

Dexter New Blood Season finaleSpoiler
The logical ending we should've had a couple of seasons earlier. Poignant that in those final few minutes that his son finally shows Dexter for what he truly is - a monster. I mean we've known that all along but somehow we justified it because he was just offing bad guys.
Very hard viewing. Incredible performances. Being a 30+ year something Liverpool fan, Hillsborough is well versed and respected in my knowledge. This however shows a far more deeper and tragic insight into Anne Williams (the real Iron Lady). Utterly horrific for anyone to have experienced this.
The Borgias S3

I'm kinda surprised on the quality of the episodes done by Rodriguez. I hate to say it but I expected some better action sequences from him....
Midnight Mass
Absolutely loved this show!
Chernobyl E5
Damn, that ending...
The Expanse, that's the biggest amount of easter eggs on one screen I have ever seen.
The Chestnut Man
Decent Danish serial killer miniseries on Netflix. Scandinavian thrillers tend to be good, and this isn't a let down.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
This was a show I really enjoyed despite the shift from being about mechs against monsters to being about the mental struggles of the characters... although that aspect was actually there from the start so...
I've read about how people didn't like the ending (episodes 25 and 26)... but I actually loved it. The more I progressed in this show the more I realized this was not a story that was focused on mech action or saving the world, it was a story about the characters and their internal struggles and survival and this is really driven home in the end that I feel has a great ending, and maybe that's very well because I was able to empathize and relate to the ending too.
Besides that stuff like the music is good, the animation is good, the action is good. Also I'm glad I went with the original rather than the Netflix because now I can't imagine the show without Fly Me To the Moon, yes even during a couple scenes apparently.
Your blu-ray will make a fine addition to my collection.
I watched the film The End of Evangelion too but my thoughts need more time to process and cook through for that one so that'll be another thread another time.

Yep (some were hilarious in your face too). Great finale though. Ended in a very satisfying manner but has me wanting more! I hope they go on to make some feature length specials continuing the story.
The Stand (new) 1/5
It's amazing to me, that this new version had the money, several creative consultants and a ton of runtime and it still failed to miss on every damn level you could imagine.
The original miniseries was half that runtime and conveyed more character depth and results of captain Tripp's, than that whole 9-10hrs of the new version did. To say it was a waste of time would be putting it lightly.
I don't even particularly like the 90s miniseries and it's still better than the newer one in a lot of ways.

Gave up completely after episode 3.
The Tourist - Fargo set in South Aussie outback.
Trigger Point - Episode 1. Enjoyable but seeing Vicky McClure as a new character and not Kate (from Line of Duty) kinda took me out of the show at times. Very intense episode.
Started the two big new British terrestrial TV dramas.
They've made a big fuss about Trigger Point being done by the same people as Line of Duty, but I thought the first episode was frankly embarrassing. Over-the-top to the point of being stupid, surprisingly naff acting, a concluding "shock" plot twist that was visible from a mile off, and when even a layman like me knows the bomb disposal "expert" shouldn't be trying to flick light switches around a bomb, there's clearly been an intelligence breakdown in the writing department.
On the other hand, The Responder was excellent. The dark comedy was spot on and Martin Freeman was fantastic in the lead role - he's long since proven himself as a great actor but this might be the best I've ever seen him. A real tour de force performance.
Finally getting round to The Expanse. Watched the first season a while back, but never got any further. Might as well catch up while I have covid.

Secondly persist with the Expanse. The payoff IMO is very good. Thoroughly enjoyed all 6 seasons.

War of the Worlds - Season 2 binge.
Spoiler
I originally gave up initially after the first episode mainly because I felt the Aliens being human was boring but persisted and was pleasantly surprised with the rather dark victory ending. Gabriel Bryne is always excellent and brings real gravitas to his performances. The young kid who played the sociopathic Sascha was great - I really hated his character so much. Hahaha.
Episode 5 - now we're cooking.
Creepshow from Shudder.
What I watched of the first season was pretty average, but I checked out some episodes of the 2nd and 3rd seasons and it seems much improved. Still low budget horror anthology fun but it seems to have hit its stride.

That's kinda why I stopped watching. Got a few episodes in and I couldn't work out if I wanted to watch the next one. So I didn't.
Currently halfway through season 3 of
The Expanse. It's decent, and finally seems to be starting another story. I'm probably going to finish the series within a few days.
Penny Dreadful S1 E1-5
Overall really great, but I have to wonder who made the call to dress Dorian Gray like a reject from Queen of the Damned... the nu metal movie version. :laugh:

Defenders episode 4
Wasn't really interested in this, but I watched Daredevil season 3 and was very confused at the beginning, so I'm retroactively catching up.
The Frankenstein Chronicles S2
Overall a very good season, and a largely satisfying wrap up. The way they wrote out Vanessa Kirby between seasons is a bit shit, though.
Penny Dreadful S2 E1-4
I only saw about half of this season when it was first airing, but some iffy retconning aside, it's quite good and better than I'd remembered. Also, the bad guys are just Roald Dahl's witches, change my mind.
Penny Dreadful S2 E5-8
Turns out I stopped watching way back when right before shit started getting real. This is great stuff.
Blade Runner: Black Lotus
Just watched the final episode. Again, it's not exactly amazing, but I'm surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it. There was even a moment that surprised and impressed me.
Penny Dreadful S2 E9-10
Holy crap, that was great. Can't wait to start Season 3.

Agreed on that. Hopefully we get some movie length continuation like what they did with Babylon 5 and BSG (but hopefully better quality than either of those ones).

True Detective Season 1 (3.75/5)

Penny Dreadful S3 E4-6
Damn this season is getting good. It just feels really different compared to the first two.
The Batman
WB has finally released the complete series on Blu-ray. I know a lot of people dislike it because it's not BTAS, but I enjoy it for what it is. The only disappointment is that the direct to DVD movie isn't part of the box set. That and the episodes are split over 6 discs for 5 seasons, so there's no delineation between the seasons.
Penny Dreadful S3 E7-9
This ended much better than I expected, based on what people had said. I think the main story wraps up pretty well, but the side stories no so much. This season introduced too many new characters with not enough episodes to really do them all justice.
Spoiler
Jekyll in particular felt like a total waste of time, and Dorian and Lily just kind of trail off. The only part of the main arc I thought was a bit shit was just having Dracula f**k off at the end, and not giving us a werewolf vs vampire fight.

I have given up on Discovery during season 4 as I find Burnham a very annoying lead and now Picard seems to finally have found some balls after a wishy washy first season. Looking forward to Strange New Worlds.
I got about halfway through season one of Picard and lost interest, but I'm hearing such good things about the second season I might have to go back and give it another go.
Meanwhile we've started watching The Blacklist. It's silly as all hell but nevertheless thoroughly entertaining, thanks in no small part to James Spader, who's excellent in it.

Star Wars: The Clones Wars Seasons 1 - 7

Second viewing actually, particularly season 7 while filling some missed gaps from 1 - 6. Order 66 hits harder when Ahsoka and Captain Rex became best friends through the Clone Wars only for that to go right out the window with Order 66. Thank goodness though that a surgery to remove the chip brought back two of my favourite characters together again to fight for survival and even later in Star Wars: Rebels help to fight against the Empire.
The whole final story arc though hits with the Revenge of the Sith feels.
Justice League Unlimited Season 3
Still awesome
True Detective Season 2 (4/5)
Another great season, solid acting and I gotta say this is probably the first thing I've seen where Rachel McAdams didn't bother me.
One of my major complaints would be the excessive character names that were thrown around in dialogue. I found it hard at times to keep up with who and what.

Yep that final arc in Season 7 is sensational and just adds so much more to the whole fall of Anakin in ROTS. I loved how Maul already knew what was unfolding too. Brilliant. It was a very dark and more mature finale in tone than the rest of the series.

It's slowly growing on me. I like the look of the show, overall. Still not sure how I feel about Master Chief and the whole UNSC being kind of "evilish".
Yer. I'm with you. I'm curious where it goes though.
Severance season finale.
Wow. What a great show. Quirk and often dark humour. Great performances all round. Just oddball. Love it.
Halo episode 4. It's plodding along and adding some interesting backstory to Master Chief but I suspect things are going to kick off sooner than later. I hope so for it's sake as it's starting to tax my patience.
Star Trek Discovery - Season 4 episode 4. Tried to pick this show up again but nope - I can't do this anymore. It's a mess.
I'm hoping Strange New Worlds is far better than this. That said too I'm enjoying season 2 of Picard a lot more.
Heroes Season 3
Green Lantern: The Animated Series
It's like a cgi version of dcau. It's pretty good. Animation looks like living vinyl bath toys, which is weirdly cool.
Private Eyes Season 5 Episodes 5-8
Resident Alien Season 2
NCIS New Orleans Season 4 Episodes 11-24
Wynnona Earp Season 4
Watching Tokyo Vice. I'm hooked.
Russian Doll Season 1 (3.5/5)
I was pleasantly surprised by this show. It really picked up after the second episode and got more in depth than I thought.
Derry Girls Season 3 Episode 1
Taskmaster Season 13 Episode 1
The Orville season 1 episodes 1-4.
With season 3 on its way I thought I'd revisit both seasons.

Overall an excellent miniseries. Ian McShane as Judas is *chef's kiss*.
Halo Episode 5.
After a lot of slow pacing build up for the past 2-3 episodes those last 10 mins of this one are absolute FIRE!!!! WOW.

Agreed! Overall I'm liking the show. It's not perfect but it has been growing on me. The mix of practical and SFX are pretty clean so far.
Waiting for the final episode of Tokyo Vice.
Just finished firsts season and simply cannot wait for second one.
Open Range episodes 1-6. Yellowstone meets Twin Peaks. I'm digging it.
Currently watching Another Life. I did the first half of season 1 yesterday, and I'm doing the second half tonight. It's pretty good. Feels more varied than a lot of other space sci-fi.

Ok Stitch. I think you may have finally convinced me to watch this one - in the past I wasn't sure if it was worth it. Need some good sci-fi since the Expanse finished.

Yeah, it's pretty good. Not quite as political and hard sci-fi as The Expanse (although I don't think it's quite as good). It is fun, though, and after watching the rest of the first season, I don't think there was an episode I didn't like.

"Columbo Likes The Nightlife" (2003)Spoiler
This might sound controversial to some but I think this is nearly perfect way to conclude the series. It has such a beatiful sense of melancholy, it briliantly captures just how much time has passed, how much things have changed. Columbo's most known for his 70s adventures - back when everything was so hopeful and bright. Sure, people got murdered from time to time but it seemed more like an exception to the rule than the rule itself, something that disturbes the normal order of things. And murderers themselves - there's always a sense of class to them, they didn't want to get their hands dirty, they'd rather hit their victim with a stone to the head or use a gun with silencer than strangle or cut their bellies open with a knife. Murderers dressed nice, drove nice cars and lived in nice houses
Things are much different at the beginning of XXI century though. It seems like every other person is a drug addict. Everything is ugly and drowns in the darkness. Setting of a nightclub itself is a stark contrast to the feel of "classical" Columbo. Owner of the club and the murderer in this particular case, Justin Price, seems like a nice enough fellow but there's almost no class to him. There's no grace to his actions- he just strangles his victim with his own bare hands screaming like a caveman. And then victim fells out of the window and gets lynched by his own radiator. Pretty gruesome way to go if you ask me. Also, the victim itself, unlike most of them from the "classic" era, has no likability at all, he spies on celebrities to find out their dirty laundry, blackmails his used-to-be partner, not very galant with women and just looks like a despicable person all around- so much so that I actually begin to symphatise with Justin for killing that bastard. I actually quite like Justin - yes he killed one man and covered up the murder of another but he's a pleasent person otherwise and he's quite dedicated to do everything in his power to make his nightclub the best one in town. His devotion to the thing he loves most actually reminds me of Adrian Carsini - my favourite Columbo murderer, brilliantly played by late Donald Pleasence
Columbo himself seems like a relic of an old era, he just doesn't fit in that world of computers and pagers. He still gets around fine though and is respected by the younger generation of cops. Columbo from revival era seems gets accused of doing too much goofy of straight-up stupid shit. I don't really see that here. Falk gives a great performance as a cool, level-headed Columbo that is not overly dramatic - he just goes around asking questions, collecting info and slowly tightening that net around Justin and his fiance. I like cat-and-mouse dynamic he has with Justin, the latter one starts as pretty friendly and open towards detective, slowly gets annoyed with him which culminates in his outrage when Columbo spoils his big opening night. That old grey-haired man seems like a genuine threat to his suspects which is conveyed by their performances - Mathew Rhys and Jennifer Sky do a great job playing the murdererous couple. The fact that Columbo actually gets some help from a mafia messenger just once again shows how twisted this world got. Final gotcha with a slow reveal of a dead body laying in a water tank in infra-red is great IMO and it's interesting seeing Columbo take some advantage of modern technology. Then Columbo just goes away - without any big fanfare or "This Old Man" playing in the background. But even that moment is somewhat soured when you remember that mafia is after Justin and Vanessa and they probably will get executed long before they get to the courtroom - Columbo's essentially doomed them
Just one more thing - I really dig the soundtrack of the episode and how it incorporates nightclub's tunes into the episode's overall dark and somewhat depressing atmosphere
Just watched the last episode of Another Life.
I really enjoyed it. Enough to watch the entire series in 5 days...
Reviews of the series are bad, and it recently was revealed that there will be no season 3, but I thought it was great. I'd hazard a guess that people were expecting something different than what the series was actually presenting. It's got an overarching storyline, but a lot of the episodes feel like different styles within the same genre. It's refreshing, sometimes goofy, and overall fun, though with a serious side that takes over when the main storyline kicks in.
I think the season ending works as a series ending, and it left it in a good position where they could have continued it, but it doesn't feel like its necessary. There are only 20 episodes, so if you want something relatively bite size to tide you over after The Expanse, I'd give it a shot.
Euphoria season 1 & 2
That was amazing and best coming-of-age drama since Skins UK 8)
Outer Range season 1, episodes 6 & 7
It was quite good imo
Getting started on Midnight Mass.
Moonknight season (or series?) finale. I see a lot of criticism for this show but I liked it a lot. I'm not the biggest Marvel fan as I found them quite cookie cutter after a while (still enjoyable mind) but I think Oscar Isaac's performance really got me hooked. Different and not what I was expecting.
Halo - Sidetracked again but Kwan's story arc is proving an interesting one and I'm interested where it leads.
Midnight MassOverall this was pretty great, a couple of nearly heavy-handed moments near the end aside.
Spoiler
And it's kind of hilariously on the nose that Pruitt's life changing encounter with the "Angel" took place quite literally on the road to Damascus.
Finished Open Range. Quirky, slow burn but enjoyable.
Started Meltdown: 3 Mile Island - scary viewing.
Penteverate ep1-3 ... if you love Austin Powers humour you'll probably enjoy this. Dumb, silly and very crude. Hit and miss (the hits are quite funny mind).
Strange New Worlds ep1-2 ... now this is more like it. Totally had it with the BS of Discovery. Mount is a great lead and I'm enjoying the episodal nature of this show too. That said funny how the 1979 TPM Enterprise ship still looks better than this (impressive) version (colours are wrong, too steely looking ... should be more creamy) HAHAHA.
Halo - far more character exposition and story than I thought. The (rare) action was very good though.
Still working on Lost, and Season 5 of the original The Twilight Zone. Definitely my least favorite season.

I really enjoyed the second season as you can tell they were expanding the storytelling. I do however see how going from season 1 to season 2 would throw people off. They're pretty different in tone.
I just started season 3 with the first two episodes. You can tell they went back to that season 1 feeling
The Pentaverate S1 E1-2
Not really sure about this so far.
Prehistoric Planet episodes 1, 2 & 3
I know dinosaurs were animals and not movie monsters, but I missed the hunt by large theropods that one used to see in Walking with Dinosaurs. Without being a Paleontologist I could notice some scientific inaccuracies, anyway the CGI is surprisingly photorealistic. But over all it was good, it's just that I'm too paleo nerd. ;D
Tokyo Vice (3.5/5)
The first few episodes had me completely hooked with an intriguing story but about midway through the season, additional stories are being told and I wasn't interested in them.
I thought this was a one season series but it ends without any closure, ultimately setting up another season. I think they should've stuck with just the one and focused more on a general story instead of adding more.

I was supposed to watch Love Death + Robots, but for some reason I ended up watching Stranger Things season 4 ep 1 & 2. I am such a pleb lol
The truth is that I never finished the second season of the sci-fi horror show loaded with eighties nostalgia. In fact, I didn't even give the third one a try, but this one was unexpectedly fun to watch after all.
Maybe tomorrow I'll start watching Love Death + Robots once and for all. ;) ;D

I hope you enjoy it. I liked the first half of the season but it went rather pear shaped after that. That said it's only my opinion. LLAP. Strange New Worlds is brilliant though. 4 episodes in and they are really nailing it.

Essex Serpent (episode 4). Responder - starting from scratch again on this one. Loving the Scouse accents!
Prehistoric Planet - watched all 5 episodes with the family. Was great. Want more!
Started binging Columbo again lately
Finished up the second season of Russian Doll and it was alright- the ending felt pretty weak and Nadia got on my nerves this time with some of her choices. Seasons 1 was better.
Currently watching the first episode of The Midwich Cuckoos. Having read the book recently, I can see where a few things have been changed, but so far it's fairly accurate.
Strangers Things - Season 4 episodes 5-7

Tokyo Vice ep 6 - brilliant. Really enjoying this.
Started (re)watching The West Wing because Jenny's never seen it and we found the complete box set in a charity shop for like ten quid. I'd forgotten just how brilliant this show is. Even more surprising because I never expected to care about a series based on American politics. Much funnier than I remember too.
I also started rewatching the last couple of seasons of Bosch in preparation for watching the new spinoff series. I feel bad for The Boys saying this but honestly this might be my favourite Amazon original show.
John Adams
A pretty excellent miniseries on the whole. Giamatti is superb as always.
Psych Season 8 Episode 10. Great final episode. Great series. Now I need to hunt down the movies.
Following it up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Absolute classic. Great animation, especially for 1987.

Is Bosch that good? My dad has the attention span of a gnat right now and he powered through the series in a matter of days, including the first season of Bosch Legacy. Better than The Boys??
I don't think I'd ever say it's better than The Boys, but I think I like it more. I'm not even sure I could tell you exactly why. It's just incredibly well-written and -acted and I've found it infinitely more engrossing than just about any other cop show I've ever seen (except maybe The Wire - probably no coincidence that they share a couple of cast members). But honestly it's hard to directly compare the two because tonally they're so far apart.
Slightly surprised to hear your dad still dug it because it's really slow-burn at times, especially the first season.
Watched the end of Stranger Things. Finale seemed excessive and kinda flabby. Also felt like this season was supposed to be the last, and then they got told that they had another and so had to do some rewrites.

The Prisoner (1967) E4-6, DVD order
Ended this set of episodes with "A. B. and C.", which is one of my favorites. It almost watches like a prototype of Inception, with a neat dream manipulation gimmick.
The Prisoner is so out there, I can never even decide if I like it or not :laugh: It did give us one of my favourite Iron Maiden songs though.
Polished off the final season of Bosch. The last episode comes across as perhaps a little rushed at times - like it needed to be a feature-length finale or something - but I still love this show to death. So glad they decided to carry on with the character.
On which note, I moved straight into the first episode of Bosch: Legacy. Much as with its parent series, I don't feel like I can make a judgement after a single episode but it's nice to see a couple of the Bosch bit-players make an appearance.
It is pretty annoying to have to sit through adverts when I already pay for Amazon Prime though. At least they're only in one-minute blocks.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds - great season finale. I'm not sold on young Kirk's casting though.

So far so good, but not quite on the level of Season 3. And I'm questioning the necessity of such long run times for each episode.

Extra points for bringing in Robert Englund.
Sandman episode 1. Never read the comics but got a very healthy respect for their legacy. I liked this first episode.
Currently halfway through From, which is decent. Feels like a cross between Wayward Pines and Salem's Lot.
Also, latest episode of Westworld. Holy crap, this show is good. Arguably the best season since the first. Has consistently kept me wondering what's going on, and made me want to see what happens next. Feels like it's ending, though, from the last episode, and if so, I'll be sad to see it go, but excited to see how it goes out.

The Sandman S1 E8-10
And finished. Overall an excellent series, and the most faithful adaptation you could ask for.
I'll check it out!
Watched the first season of Severance and love this show. Can't wait for season 2 to finally come out. Great actors and characters and a very intriguing story. Truly one of my favorites right now.
Also watched all three seasons of Servant. I'm hooked on this one too though not as much. It's a good one revolving around mental health and I have a love-hate relationship with pretty much all the characters. Apple TV has a lot of solid shows- I gotta give it to them.

Severance is my favourite show of the year (though Blackbird is probably just a bee's dick behind). Excellent show - quirky, black humour but so intriguing and well acted.
I found
Servant way too creepy and perhaps a little hard to digest (having lost a child to stillbirth). Couldn't watch it beyond the first episode.
And yes AppleTV does indeed have a lot of good quality shows.
Physical is fantastic.

Oh wow, I'm sorry. I can completely understand how that show would be difficult to sit through. There's definitely some uncomfortable and traumatic moments that are depicted.

It's extremely close to the comics, most of the changes were removing the ties to the larger DC Universe that cropped up early on. And the Doll's House arc is structured a bit better in the show.

Having listened to the Audible series first, I'd argue that James McAvoy is better than Tom Sturridge. They're both obviously playing the same character, but McAvoy just sounds better.

WandaVision
The first few episodes of this were a real slog, given that they'd made a sitcom homage/parody that was utterly bereft of comedy, but once it switched to the real world and the plot got going I actually found myself getting quite invested (even if I called the basic premise long before it was revealed in the show). Was nice to see a couple of supporting characters make a return to the franchise, but sadly my interest in this seemed to dip again towards the end. The concept was interesting, but overall the idea was way better than the execution.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
I really enjoyed this. Especially liked the buddy-cop tone, even if it seemed to forget that's what it was a little later on. Speaking of buddy-cop, this recalled the later Lethal Weapon films in that the plot and villains were honestly pretty uninspired and forgettable, but ultimately the whole thing was carried by the great chemistry between the lead pairing. It was let down a little by so obviously being produced on a TV budget (most of the money went on the opening 10 minutes, and the bulk of the rest seemed to go on the final episode) and it occasionally felt a little heavy-handed with its messages, but overall it was a solid series and definitely sets things up for the future.

Yeah just rewatched that one tonight, the direction isn't terribly different from the rest of the show. Johnson did more impressive work with Fly, really working the camera to make the most of the confined setting.
Loki
Easily the best of these Disney+ series so far. Along with RDJ, Hiddleston has been one of the stand-out stars of this franchise so I had high hopes for a series focused on him, and it didn't disappoint. A bit like Ragnarok, this was completely left-field and all the better for it. The episode set on Lamentis was just incredible; in fact my only real complaint is that that episode was so good it never quite matched it afterwards.

Pretty interesting. Halfway through the season and so far it's pretty standard slasher, with fewer of the twists and turns that you'd expect from AHS. Pretty cool.
Also finished all of Station Eleven.

I'm a bit late to this, but aside from episode two being kind of bad, I'm enjoying the rest of it.
The episode with the boar man's the best thing the show ever did honestly. Shame about the rest.
Watched both series of The Capture last week.
I'd seen the first back when it was originally broadcast but it was so long ago I couldn't remember anything about it, so I figured I'd give it another run through ahead of the second series. I'm surprised I'd managed to blank it because it was bloody awesome. Occasionally walks a pretty fine line between believable and far-fetched, but it just about manages to stay on the right side throughout.
Second series was also good but it did cross over that line at times, and also fell into the trap a lot of these kinda shows do in that it started getting needlessly convoluted in pursuit of shocking plot twists. Add to which I get the impression the writers struggled to find anything substantive for some of the returning cast members to do. Still, there were several proper chilling moments in it and the cast continued to be excellent.

Andor is great. And I don't even like Star Wars.

Great ending for the season, horrible place for Fincher to just drop the series.
The Orville. Season 1 episode 10. It's amazing how much more Star Trek this show is than most of the crap that modern Trek has been (SNW excluded).
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth
Millennium Season 2 Episodes 1-4

Still great. Amazon prime suggested the next thing to watch would be Red Dwarf. Hadn't realised, but they do have a lot of similarities.

I agree! to me it was as if Scott's Alien was released in such a way, that the movie abruptly ends when Ripley discovers Special Order 937.
I'm serious, it was pretty weird. :o I mean I know the whole true events thing...and that the author of the letters was never found, but they must have been creative and come up with something for the sake of "storytelling" so to speak😂
Midsomer Murders

This only got worse as it went along. The Stanley Tucci scenes were still great, though, it was just everything else that descended into giant pit of suck.

It's great. Not sure how they'll continue the story into a future season, though, since most of the conflict was wrapped up in this one.

Last of Us - Ep 1-2. Big admirer of the game thanks to my son (though I've never actually played it). Very brutal and hard show - everything the Walking Dead could've and should've been. Bleak but great to watch.

We just started that ourselves last night! Ended up binging the first four episodes because we were enjoying it so much (and I'm not normally one to binge). Already liking this series a lot more than the last one. I'm not sure when exactly they made it but there are certainly some eerie parallels with events in eastern Europe right now.

Teen Titans Season 2 episodes 1-8
I'm in the groove with this now. It's wacky but entertaining.
The Last of Us ~ Season 1 - episode 3
When you don't miss to much the main characters, monster action, main plot; due to a perfectly crafted worldbuilding (honorable mention to the music), the focus of the new characters that come into play and heart-melting ending...it mean Last of Us is right now a masterpiece.
Let's hope it stays that way. :)

'Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories ~ season 1' (2013)
Visually speaking I like Junji Ito's imagery better, but execution-wise I prefer Yamishibai. I mean, as cliche as it sounds, Japanese horror is quite surreal. Their highly creative and non-western mythological folklore certainly helps. Also, the Kamishibai (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamishibai) style presentation was quite creepy🤭👏:laugh:

Servant-
Finished off this series the other night. It's a bit of a rollercoaster and was dragged out between seasons 3 and 4 but I do like the ending that they ultimately went with.
Spoiler
Dorothy coming to terms with everything and forgiving but also thanking Leanne was an ending I didn't know I wanted or needed to appreciate the series more.
A "good" ending was a bit unexpected and it all happens so quickly that I half expected Leanne to be imagining it all before being blindsided by Dorothy.
I'm glad that was not the case though, but I do think the events of the final 2 episodes are what needed to be expanded on more seeing as the cult stuff and "hook man" went nowhere. In yet we were lead to believe Leanne's followers would do more.
And now onto season 3 of both The Mandalorian and Ted Lasso.
Also been rewatching Scrubs and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Gotham Knights episode 1
It came on automatically after the Flash, and I was distracted by video games so I didn't turn it off. It's a shame that it's crap, because it has nice production values.
Monty Python: Almost the Truth
Excellent documentary series.
Moon Knight
I enjoyed this series way more than I anticipated. Really wasn't expecting a psychologically fueled Marvel superhero story and I love it for that. He's one of my favorites now.
The Consultant - ep1-7. Not up to (vastly superior) Severance's level but still an enjoyable quirky workplace thriller.

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities episode 3 - The Autopsy. Best one yet. I had to literally look away during one very squeamish scene (I never do that).

Yeah. It's decent. Considering it's a CW show, it seems like it has a much bigger budget. The writing is good, Tyler Hoechlin is good at balancing Clark Kent and Superman, and the cinematography is way better than you'd expect from anything even remotely related to the Arrowverse.

Ok, cool cool. I've been hesitant cause of it being CW tbh. I never got into Arrow or The Flash. But screenshots and clips I've seen from this show make it look surprisingly decent if it doesn't dip too much into melodrama.
I might check a few episodes out and see if it catches me. Thanks!
Ted Lasso. Season 3 Episode 3. The whole Zava character is fantastic and anyone who knows football will instantly recognise who he's based on. I can't believe how much heart this show has.
The Punisher season 1 finale
That was good. Felt kinda cathartic, especially the final scene. Considering the Punisher has been confirmed for Daredevil: Born Again, I should probably catch up on the second season, as well.
Island episodes 1-5. It's a KDrama dealing with demons and an island (natch) and some form of prophecy. It's kinda weird, and I'm almost halfway through but I'm still not sure if it's any good.
Family Guy Season 14
Highlander The Animated Series Episodes 1-4
Shrinking - what a great show. Harrison Ford steals it. He's absolutely brilliant and his first line is `Hey kid'... tell me that wasn't on purpose.
Picard Season 3 Episode 8 - that reunion scene. Just beautiful. :'(
Spoiler
Vadic was terrible though. The whole theatrical singing, smoking, dramatic personality just was a piss poor version of some of the previous great villains from the very early movies. And her F bomb line just before she dies was just trying to be edgy and seemed so out of Star Trek narrative.

I know I'm mega late for this, but I started watching The Sopranos finally, and finished season 1 last night.
Wow, even one season in I can see why this is considered one of the best drama series of all time.
Has those cool mafia-movie elements that draw you in, but is mostly a really interesting character study with surprisingly deep themes on identity and trauma. Amazing stuff so far.

Interesting show from Damon Lindeloff where 2% of people suddenly disappear.

Some very random stuff in the show that doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I liked the concept.
Horatio Hornblower - "The Duel"
Finally getting around to this series, and this was a good start.
Been watching For All Mankind this last week and a bit. I'm towards the mid of Season 2 and am really enjoying it. I love alternate timeline stuff but never managed to get into the "what if Nazi's won WW2 one" but I'm digging the "what if Russians won the space race?".

Horatio Hornblower - "Loyalty"
You know a ship's in good hands when you have Mr. Fantastic and The Doctor in command.
Yellowjackets S2E6
I'm not sure where this is going. The characters are interesting but it feels like its kinda meandering now, and the central plot is being missed. Maybe it's just my interpretation, but it seems to be losing the original point and I'm hoping it gets it back.
Halo season 1
I've really enjoyed the battle at High Charity planet and the Makee character. Actually I enjoyed this show more than the last Mandalorian season🤔. I know I know😅, two different beasts. But you know, space action + space warriors wearing badass helmets and all😂
Anyway, I can't wait for season 2 8) and yes, I'm not a big fan of
Halo games at all🙈 (so far I've only played
Halo: Combat Evolved on PC, and I'm interested in
Halo Wars because of its RTS genre nature👀..)

I started watching that one after
Halo ;D but fell asleep :'( I'll give it another try later, since it was at night after all :-X
Horatio Hornblower - "Duty"
Pretty good but not one of the better episodes. They really did Styles dirty here.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ~ Season 1 - ep9
Some Alien-Predator vibes out
there😅
Yellowjackets Season 2
Yeah, now I remember the theme of the wendigo psychosis better I think😅👉👈
Dexter: New Blood season 1 episode 7
I was able to watch Chernobyl and it was good.
I also tried Invasion from 2005 and stopped after around four episodes because it looked banal, but I don't blame and cast and crew because I couldn't think of anything to make the show better.
I've heard a lot of nice things about Hornblower and will view that in the future.
I saw half of Halo and it was average. I think there's something wrong with the pacing.
I saw the first season and part of the second of Leftovers, and it's does well.
I managed watching some episodes of Picard and it was hopeless, but I don't think it was as bad as STD.

In addition to Laura Paulson's performance, I liked the concept of the in-universe "paranormal docu": interviews with people in parallel to the dramatic recreation. It's not a very overexploited concept apparently😅 The rest was meh :-X 👎

The book is very much worth reading, some things it does better than the show, like the Tuunbaq, which is scarier and more interesting.
It's on my reading list but it's a long list :)
Snowfall Season 1
LOTR: The Rings of Power ~ Season 1
Yup, this definitely looks like a $465 million TV show. I wonder if such cinematography will be damaged due to fan backlash and insufficient number of viewers. Since I really enjoyed it, the latter would not make me happy at all. :-\👉👈
AHS ~ season 10 - Part 1 Red Tide (ep 1 - ep 6)
For my personal taste the best AHS story with a fine enough acting and pacing. Plus a fresh take on vampirism. 8)👍
AHS ~ season 10 - Part 2 Death Valley (ep 7 - ep 10)
This pulp magazine campiness worked better in the sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks!. But in a season of AHS taking itself much more seriously not so much I afraid. I mean, I couldn't even finish it. :P👎

I'm still enjoying this season. So far I've not seen a drop in quality.
Silo - S1E7 - really enjoying this show and I'm actually happy Apple does the 1 episode per week scheduling (just how it was growing up). Gives me time to digest and reflect on the show + sets up genuine anticipation.

Prehistoric Planet S1 and 2
I loved both seasons, I think that I prefer S2 over 1. Love the accurate designs of the dinosaur's, but there's some questionable creative liberties like the Dreadnoughtus air sack's. I know that it is a paleo documentary and there's always be speculation but they really exaggerated that one. Another issue that I have with it is that they only focused on the Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous period (66 million years ago, despite thay show dinosaurs from the Campanian syage), I would like more a Walking with Dinosaurs type and show Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Yellowstone, Ep 1.
Ohaaa, freakin good. Can't spontaneously think of a better first Ep actually --

Resident Evil (Netflix)
I'd heard it was bad, but holy shit, it's almost comedy. It's so bad I'm still watching just to see how much worse it can get.
Why are the two young characters in the "before" sequences, who you're clearly supposed to like and care about, so aggressively stupid and petty that they cause the apocalypse because they're incapable of not lying to their father for three seconds or thinking anything through, ever?
Why does the writing portray them as not even being at fault, because they had (arguably, if you squint) good intentions behind their shocking stupidity?
Why is Lance Reddick wasting his considerable talents here? And to rub salt in the wound, it's one of the last things he ever did.
Why does Netflix do this to everything they adapt, without fail?
I actually can't look away, it's such a spectacular train wreck. This shot from episode 3 sums up my reaction perfectly:

Yeah... But I still think that the first season had the most weird speculation, being the Dreadnoughtus the worse and also the Anteater like tongue of the Mononykus (I'm still in love of the design of the dinosaur).
From
I marathon'd the first season when s2 was about to drop and really enjoyed it, but between the weekly releases and focusing too much on interpersonal drama instead of the mysteries at hand, s2 has been much more of a slog. Thankfully it's picked up again but there was some serious filler episodes early and mid season.

I'm up to date as of last week's episode and I'm enjoying it. It does meander along a bit and I must admit that Ferguson's character was very annoying and unlikable at first but a strong cast is really pushing this one along right now.

After 3 episodes it's pretty good, though it is going over a lot of standard dystopian future tropes. Feels very familiar to me, like I'm in well known territory.
I'm hoping it'll carve out it's own niche.

Persist. First season did drag at times but the stellar cast made it worth while.
From - Season 1This has an interesting premise but it feels very much like Lost MkII (given the crew producing it no surprises there). Surprisingly violent and gory.

Popped my Noah cherry with the first Episode of Legion but I gotta say I'm currently not in the mood for this kind of fast-paced erratically structured craaaazyness. Will probably give it a more serious second chance in the near future. Definitely felt pretty well crafted overall though.
Yea on the other hand I'm pretty sure I definitely don't want an Alien series in this style :/
So's Fargo similar stylewise or (a bit) more grounded?
Fargo's completely different, stylised in places, but sits backseat.

Oh god yeah Final Space is amazing. Cant wait for the Graphic Novel and the fact he's been allowed to finish the story. Though Truncated.

Entertaining. Interesting to see a different side of Spock. I know I'm a bit late to this but it means I have plenty to catch up with.
Strange New Worlds - S2E08 - this was a bit confronting and great to see they didn't skirt around this topic - about crimes that are unforgivable.
Spoiler
M'Benga's character is an intriguing one and that final scene when questioned by Pike if he did murder Rah was very good.
Season 2 - so these first few episodes have taken a different tone to the first season. Perhaps it's me but it's not resonating with me as much just yet.

Yeah. Season finale felt more like a typical episode 7, with the rest of the story to come. Feels like very little of any importance actually happened this season, and all of what did was in the last couple of episodes.
I hope season 3 is better, because S2 was a drop in quality from the first.

Fionna & Cake *Adventure Time Spin-off* ~ season 1: ep 1 - ep2
Wow!😱 8)🙏 What a blast! At first I thought it would be the usual Fionna & Cake adventures that we used to catch on Adventure Time from time to time. But my little brain wasn't ready for the twist...oh well...the whole first episode is the twist itself!🤯👉👈
(https://s11.gifyu.com/images/SgFvQ.gif)
So that's how it is. FIONNA IS A NORMAL GIRL, AT THE NORMAL WORLD, WITH A NORMAL CAT, LIVING A NORMAL LIFE!!!!🙊
Well she is actually a misfit compared to the usual normies...but you already have the picture I guess :laugh:
Now... why is that so unexpected? well let me explain ;D👍:
(https://i.ibb.co/YcgzSvx/Picsart-23-08-31-20-09-21-237.jpg)
Fionna & Cake are supposed to be genderbent counterparts to Finn & Jake from the original show. Not only that...they don't really exist coshh they're literary characters, fan-fiction style, created by the Ice King (antihero-then hero again-then antihero-and finally hero).
And in this imaginary world, all the characters of the, in-universe, real world of Adventure Time, exist but with the opposite gender (boys are girls and yada yada).
(https://i.ibb.co/hsmSkDd/Picsart-23-08-31-20-28-15-529.jpg)
However, the Magic land of Ooo is in fact a Post-Apocalyptic world inhabited by mutants after the Mushroom War (a fantastical version of a nuclear war that destroyed the normal world). The first two episodes reveal that Fiona and her pet cat are actual characters from that normal planet Earth millennia before the events of Adventure Time. The rest...is history...a very interesting one indeed.
I am looking forward to watch more episodes!!! :)🙏

Heroes Season 4.
While the show lost its way in Season 2 and the first half of Season 3, i feel the show was really back on form here. So a shame it was cancelled on such a huge moment.
I'm wanting to give Heroes another re-watch. I don't think any of the seasons would have ever lived up to the first season. I did enjoy Sylar in the first season but he wasn't much fun in the second without his powers. Then they just kept flipping back and forth after that whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. I think I did prefer Season 3 over 4. Never really happy with the circus stuff.
The Leftovers season 3
It all begins when 2% of humanity mysteriously disappears. But guess what...

...there is a parallel time line where 98% of humanity disappeared leaving the Earth inhabited by that 2%

Gamera Rebirth I liked the animation of the Kaiju, but not the humans. I'm new to this lore though, and I must admit I didn't know how different Gamera is in comparition to Godzilla.

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities - season I
The end of the third act of episode 7 seems like a live-action spin-off of Velma where she is fighting a monster from the Doom video games. The final boss can do the light side Force lightning. ⚡ 8)

First season of Foundation
Liked the visuals and acting in parts, the writing not so much
Definitely need a longer pause before maybe checking out the second one
I'm quite sure I really liked the book --
First two Episodes of Season 2
Meh, they've changed the tone into something more starwarsesque or something or the quality simply dropped.
Should've taken that longer pause, f*ck
The Detectives Seasons 1-5
Hadnt seen this in years. Very hit and miss but still hugely funny when it hits
Blackadder II, III & Goes Fourth
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
1st episode was very good. Super high production values.

So solid. Some episodes better than others, but all totally entertaining.

A Variety of Classic Doctor Who serials
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S2 E9-10
It's a great show. I don't even like musicals, but it worked for SNW.
Poor Star Trek.
X-Files season 2 - Episode 8. Scully returns from her abduction. It was quite hilarious (even the first time I saw it back in the 90s) how they tried to hide Scully's pregnancy. My wife even said `her boobs are huge'. Hahaha. A reminder pre-CGI days that practical FX had to do a lot of work for somethings ;D
Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder
f**king incredible episode, easily as good as anything from 2005.
X-Files Season 2 - Episode 10 - Red Museum.
Well hello there, that's a familiar face. Great to see Mark Rolston as the leader of the Cult in this episode.

Not bad, overall, but not as good as some of Flanagan's other works. The cohesive narrative in the beginning starts to crumble in the last few episodes and it ends up feeling like overwrought episodes of Tales From The Crypt.

I'm watching XF S2 as well for the second time. The show overall is OK but too long. I think they could have done better by focusing on a main extraterrestial story arc involving one subplot building on another, each one spread across a few episodes, and avoid the monster-of-the-week shows. I remember shows like Sapphire and Steel doing that.

Also rewatching season 2 for the upteenth time. There was an overall story arc involving the alien invasion conspiracy though - the show was always though a monster of the week affair but intertwined with the smoking man in the background.

Great twist but Michelle Keegan did nothing to convince me she was a vet suffering from major PTSD or someone who had revenge killed her hubby. She was way too dolled up and looking a million dollars. Adeel Aktar stole the show. Brilliant arc for him.

Yep. We've seen that one and most of his others too. There is one of his shows on Prime called Shelter and for the most part it's a terrible, quirky teenage thriller.

Yep. She is indeed very hot and that's my biggest gripe with the show. That model look does not align with character she portrays and the ordeal she is dealing with for me.

Fargo - Season 5 - Episode 1. Mentioned elsewhere on this forum but Hawley's writing and direction are still top form.
True Detective Season 3
Ok while it doesn't have horror elements like S1 & S4, even so the grandpa version of the protagonist who suffers from senile dementia, is able to interact with past through his hallucinations...kinda like a metaphysical-astral time travel. Of course it is open to the viewer's interpretation as usual. :laugh:

If the rumours are true then I suspect you will get your wish with Rings of Power season 2 ;D
TBH if a show is that bad to me personally I rarely watch it further or give it the time to whinge about it online.
I can think of a handful of times that left me furious with a movie or TV show. The one that is most vivid was after seeing Alien3 for the first time in 1992. Hated it with a passion - just couldn't get over the way they killed off Newt & Hicks. Yet over time it's become one of my absolute favourite films.
This Life Season 1
The Stand (1994 mini series)
True Detective: Night Country - Episodes 3-4. Loving Foster's performance and the overall Thing vibes but those horror elements are stock-standard Blumhouse fair - feels a bit out there for this series. Reminds me a lot of the British 'Scandi-set' thriller Fortitude in parts.
I think technically the last TV show I watched was Spider-Man Unlimited , though I've been trying to catch up on the last season of Bosch: Legacy as well.
The Following - Season 1 Episodes 1-6.
Enjoying this so far.

Night Country - Episodes 5-6: Hmmm. Seemed to build up to something far more X-files-like but then crammed it all in the finale to something a little more out from left field.
Once again Foster and the rest of the cast were great but still nowhere near as good as the first season.

The one where the aliens are tardigrade size lol🪳🐛⚛️
which, although somewhat subversive and a bit retcon (the ships are seen through telescopes...because of the size of the aliens I mean)...but it fits and works with the psychological war that the aliens carry out by leveling us to the level of bugs...and maybe they...although technologically superior...they're nothing but sapiens bugs pretending to be gods😵💫👉👈
Personally, I'd prefer it to be ambiguous with the appearance of the aliens so that the existencial eldritch-like horror works.

Binged all 8 episodes, played the games for twenty years nad read The Books. I think its a great adaptation.
When we played the games the mythos was fluid and still forming and the player was Master Chief. By the time of this series the mythos is established and John needs to be a character not the viewer.
I know it gets a lot of hate, but I enjoyed it immensely.
Pablo as John 117 does a good job, having Jen Taylor voice Cortana as she has in all the games is so soothing, like having a close friend speaking in each episode. I really like the Natascha McElhone
Who is playing Dr. Halsey; he goal for humanity seems a realistic motivation.
I very much liked the commentary on what does it mean to be human, do we need to shed aspects of our humanity to transcend and is love & attachment more important or letting love go to save mankind worth it? So many themes I will be pondering a while.

No one, she was just a very determined suicide.
That's ... an interesting point of view

Made a joke of the intellectual property frankly.

I stole it from Alan Moore. The appendices of From Hell are... amusing.

Twin Peaks E8
I was going to watch two, but I forgot that the season premiere was 90 minutes long. :laugh:
Also that room service bit might be the weirdest part of the series, which is saying something.
Halo Season 2 (Paramount)
Lost in Space - S1,S2 & S3
Kinda
PROMETHEISH but more cheap-looking.

Damn, Happy Gilmore's grandmother is one creepy bitch.

And there's the reveal.
So what do you think of the reveal ?
Quote from: Kradan on Apr 09, 2024, 05:26:14 AMSo what do you think of the reveal ?
It's pretty great.
I'm of the mind that despite how much Lynch would've wanted it they couldn't have just kept Laura's murderer identity a secret forever - they had to reveal it sooner or later. So if it had to be revealed I think they handled it the best they could. And we got Fire Walk With Me which in itself justifies the whole thing

Yeah, I think leaving the mystery unsolved could have worked if it was a standalone, one and done film that was making a point with that. But Twin Peaks isn't that.
Spoiler
And Wise is incredible in the episodes and even moreso in the movie from what I remember. In fact I remember thinking the deleted scene with the Palmers having a nice, happy dinner together should have been left in as it would have added to the tragedy to see them so happy and normal for once.
Ted E1-3
It's not great. Feels like an actual mid 90s sitcom that would last 1 season and be cancelled.
Twin Peaks E15-16
God damn that was a good wrap up to the mystery.
Spoiler
I feel like Fire Walk with Me kinda retconned this a bit, though? It certainly made Leland out to be more complicit.
Twin Peaks E17-18
We're getting into the mid season two doldrums now. It's frustrating, because there is still great stuff in here, like the lore building and Conal f**king Cochrane making an appearance, mixed in with dull as shit subplots like James and his story that's ripped straight from a bad porn.
The Fallout thing. It's not terrible.
Twin Peaks E19-20
I continue to ping pong between enjoying the really good parts and shaking my head at all the dumb shit they keep doing in this stretch. Denise is a treasure, though. And Major Briggs is becoming one of the best characters in the show.
Twin Peaks E21-22
Windom Earle is here, and the dumb subplots are mostly wrapping up. Thank f**king god.

Interesting but a little forced at times. That said, Colin Farrell is an actor who always grabs my attention.

We were all in tears by the end. Right in the damn feels.
This absolute Aussie Gem just gets better and better. Beautiful on so many levels.

Aside from that terrible Donna subplot, that is one hell of a way to end a season. Just total madness.
