Public service announcement, forty minutes until UK Amazon Prime subscribers get access to the re-branded Love Film streaming service.

And the episodes where Mrs. Pucci actually gets caught up in the action are particularly funny and work surprisingly well. The action and stunts are still there and better than ever, so it dosen't lose anything as an action show, but overall the show has more depth in season 2, and is constantly good across all of the episodes. Even if you really didn't like the changes in season 2, I don't see how anyone could say it is "amazingly poo poo" if they claim to like season 1.

Who's gonna do the Bates Motel thread? If there's one show more of you need to be watching it's that one. Season 1 is on Netflix so you can catch up in time for March 3.

I don't think the addition of Poochie and Ames did anything but ruin the dynamic that made Human Target fun in the first place. I want to see Chase hit on pretty girls and bro out with Guerrero and Winston, not worry about protecting Poochie's feelings because she flipped out about something stupid.raditts posted:He makes some pretty bad posts elsewhere too so it's really tough to say. If you're not shitposting in nu GBS you're missing out.

I agree with him concerning Human Target. The second season took away everything that made the first fun and basically added a ton of unneeded drama and BS.

You could have led with the notion that S2 had more Guerrero, then launched into the troll, but you just leaned into it too hard too fast. Not even the most retarded of GBS 2.1 posters would fall for this one. F-

Because I was doubtful of it at first and the changes are a bit rocky in the first couple of episodes, but it turns into a good show. I will agree it loses much of the "bro" dynamic that made season one cool, but if you don't compare it directly to that, it does work on its own merits as a decent and enjoyable show. And it doesn't lose the original characters personalities entirely, Guerrero still has his moments when he's not being annoyed by the little girl, and Chance is still likable action guy. It's a different show in season two to be sure but like I said it's still got all the action and it does work if you can accept Mrs Pucci (Who's name is literally Poochie, how brilliant is that).

Guerrero reacts to the new girl characters exactly the way we reacted. He felt they were annoying, added nothing but problems, and wanted nothing to do with them. Basically Guerrero owns.  Edit: and all this might have been tolerable if they hadn't gone and changed the theme music which was simply inexcusable.

The stupidest thing about Human Target season 2 was how Mrs Pucci took over and everyone was perfectly fine with it and just acted like she was the boss.

Also what pissed me off was the first season was about barely getting by and doing jobs for money and so forth where the second season they just threw tons in of money and poo poo got high end. I liked seeing broke fucks try to make it doing awesome jobs with just their skills.

Also in the first season it felt like they were helping whoever came to him needing help. While the second season was just all "old buddies" or personal matters.

The second season was an unending, uninspired cavalcade of cliche and cuntery. It was everything wrong with 80's action programmes but with a 90's xtreme twist. In 2011. It was, top to bottom, bumjuice.

And then they had to go ahead and force a will-they-won't-they thing on Chance and his new lady boss. Ugh. Too bad, it was a fun show that was forced to be something it wasn't.

I could definitely have done without the love interest angle. It would have been better if they just kept it as an argumentative boss-hero relationship with an underlying mutual respect. But I can't say it wasn't at least a fun show when Chance beats up about 10 guys blindfolded in the Die Hard at the opera house episode, or when he uses a hanging Santa's sled in a shopping mall to take down the bad guy, or the excellent Guerrero prison break episode.

The one thing the writers did right was to keep the three guys the same characters despite being forced to add in a lady boss/sugar momma for no good reason and a girl burglar. All it did was remind me of how much better the chemistry was in the cast in season 1 though. I did enjoy most of season 2 but it was never as good as the first season was. Edit: I'm beginning to realize not much gets me more wound up than talking about Human Target s2

I don't think I've ever posted anything I didn't sincerely mean, and that actually includes the couple weeks I posted in GBS 2.0 before getting incredibly bored of it. I really hate ironic shitposting. I mean, "casual" posting where one can use internet slang (like in the Games "general chat" thread) is fine, but that's different. Oh, and I think Pick still makes amusing posts in the lady-chat megathread, but I haven't looked in months. Rapey Joe Stalin posted:I'm the same as you so I don't have a clue.

Actually I think FYABYOGBS has been successful at bringing in money, because it was originally supposed to only last a month IIRC. e: heh. "gently caress You And Bring Your Own General Bullshit" is pretty much spot on even though I did it by accident.

I'm gonna go ahead and believe that Gotham script is real. I remember when the script for the first episode of Game of Thrones leaked, there was a lot wrong with it so people thought it was fake. Like some lines that used pretty modern vernacular and were also out of character. It was the real script and they kept those bad lines. (I still like the show quite a bit however.) And that was HBO with a giganto-budget. Fox making Gotham bad and stupid is not surprising at all to me then. People will probably watch it anyway for the same reason I watch Agents of SHIELD. 'Cause it'll be okay maybe and there's not a lot of currently airing competition.

Anyone heard anything about The Red Road? Ravane posted:The child actor in Ben and Kate (red-haired kid) has a small role in Star-Crossed. For a kid that young, she's actually a decent actor. I don't know, it felt like a definite step down from CW's other offerings (although The Tomorrow People wasn't great either). Only saw the first episode, granted, but it didn't really do much with the premise.

Here's a big question: is Rawhide worth watching for someone who isn't a huge Western guy? I had no idea Eastwood was in it until now and I love the Man with No Name trilogy. If it's goofy I'm probably not interested, but if I can buy a random DVD season and enjoy each episode as a short classic Western I could be into that if it holds up.
