I didn't have a kid but there isn't any possibility to have internet in my apartment so I don't have access to the usual streaming services  I have to rely on the hospitality of friends to get to watch True Detective

Television Without Pity is shutting down. Forums will go offline at the end of May. Old reviews and recaps will be saved, but will not be made available to the public. I don't think anybody here will be too broken up about this, but I thought it would be of note.

That kinda sucks. It's the site that pissed off Aaron Sorkin so that he bitched about them through Josh Lyman on The West Wing.

muscles like this? posted:Its funny watching old episodes of Law & Order and seeing people you only hear about later as tiny guest stars. Like the episode on WGN right now, "Untitled" has Steven Ogg (Trevor in GTA:V) as an artist. Also watching an episode the other day I saw Kevin Daniels from Sirens as an extra with a small speaking part. Phillip Seymore Hoffman has this bit part as a no name hoodlum and loving owns (bones). http://on.aol.com/video/phil-seymour-hoffman--law-and-order--scene-517680349 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7mZ3cbzPV1M

Kraps posted:How do you mean? Do you remember the whole episode about "Lemon Lyman"? Yeah, that came about because Sorkin got into an actual Internet shouting match with some guys on the TWoP forum. I kid you not. And he never really recovered. Since that day, Sorkin despises the "everyone's a critic" attitude you meet online, and from time to time he really lets it show in his scripts.

Funny, I just posted somewhere the other day asking if they were still around. Good riddance, if their reviews and recaps were anywhere near as terrible as they were the last time I went there years ago.

Heads up, everybody: Breaking Amish is now on Netflix! I've never seen the show before, but I grew up in Amish country so I am loving pumped!precision posted:I thought Television Without Pity was TVIV for old cat ladies. TWOP had an active 2 Broke Girls thread, so it was actually better than TVIV for old cat ladies.

precision posted:I thought Television Without Pity was TVIV for old cat ladies. I was a member of that site when it the only show they covered was Dawson's Creek.  I hadn't visited in years but it looks like their recaps are just straight descriptions of everything that happened on each episode (as opposed to critique and review like AVClub) and they do that really annoying thing where they break each article up into 10 pages with a few paragraphs on each page so they can feed more ads to you.

Taking the occasion of Broad City finishing its first season to tell anyone who doesn't watch it that it's goddamn terrific. Every episode so funny, interesting and weird.

Ravane posted:Is Breaking Amish what I think it is? Not quite, it's Amish kids leaving their weird cult to basically live like illegal immigrants complete with the insular communities and almost total separation from their family in the home country that that entails. But there's probably a lot of meth so you aren't that far off!

precision posted:I thought Television Without Pity was TVIV for old cat ladies. The forums are probably still real bad. I remember reading the American Idol show threads way back in the first handful of seasons and it was pretty much a collection of ladies bickering over which boy contestant they thought was cutest. So basically like an aged-up tumblr.

I think TWOP toned down their recaps in recent years but in the past some of their recaps were painfully god awful. Enterprise, Angel, Buffy, BSG were some of the worst as I recall. Stupid nicknames, offensively unfunny commentary, insufferable pedantry, that sort of thing. Some of the reality show recaps used to be ok though. Anyway the site has long since become irrelevant but it does seem weird in this day and age of free information that all those recaps and articles won't still be available for anyone to suffer through if they so choose.

They should also get Jennifer Carpenter as Elektra then. She already has Marvel superhero experience as animated Black Widow.
