precision posted:Flashforward ended up being really drat good after being mostly incredibly boring for an entire half season. Kind of the opposite of The Ev3nt which actually did start kind of strong. Flashforward would've been better if it wasn't almost entirely all plot threads of the cast trying to figure out what happened and was the inverse instead. Kinda like The Leftovers really.

So the lady who plays Catelyn Stark in Game of Thrones now has a role in Resurrection, where she plays a matriarchal leader in a clan who was recently revived from the dead. The GoT book readers probably get the joke, but for the tv watchers: (Warning: GoT book spoilers that will never happen on TV) Catelyn Stark is supposed to come back from the dead, as Lady Stonerheart. It's a huge plot twist in A Storm of Swords, but will not happen on the tv show most likely. It's not relevant to anything, I just thought it was humorous.

Kinda like The Leftovers really. I still say the episodes with Ricky Jay and Dominic Monaghan were great. The show should have been about those two dudes trying to one-up each other in the game of "manipulate the universe with quantum doodads" but instead I WAS LOADED, OKAY!

Slamhound posted:Unless the lesbians of The L Word all became lumberjacks, it ain't got poo poo on Dexter. They literally killed the main character in the first 5 minutes, then the entire season was a big whodunnit "mystery" about it that the showrunner still refuses to ever actually solve. Then the final shot was all the other characters runway walking with windmachines and dramatic lighting into the police station to be interrogated.

Tuxedo Jack posted:100,000+ people died in a Tsunami less than a decade ago. People move on. The people in the show didn't die, they disappeared. In real life, many people have a very hard time moving on when their loved ones disappear, because they don't know if they actually died. And in those cases, the disappearance isn't likely to be supernatural, and there are good explanations (accident, kidnap+murder, etc.) The divorce scene in this last episode highlights the issue. Nora 'divorces' her disappeared husband, and is reminded that the divorce is binding, should the husband ever come back. You have to move on from your children and husband being gone even though you don't even know if they'll just return tomorrow. This makes it incredibly difficult to move on, because there is a lot of guilt there. I mean, people already feel guilty about moving on from actual deceased people who will never come back. This is even worse. Pedro De Heredia fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Aug 6, 2014 |

As much as I enjoy The Leftovers and some people who complain about it in here need to get some perspective, can we stop talking about The Leftovers? It's probably worse than True Detective because I don't remember TD spilling over into here as over as The Leftovers has. We get it guys, you hate Damon Lindelof.

Ironic that you complain about people talking about The Leftovers and then parrot the absolute worst talking point about it. Not everyone who dislikes The Leftovers thinks Lindelof sucks or was butthurt by LOST, man.

The irony is simply that he's talking about The Leftovers even though he's asked people to stop talking about it. ... ... ...Well of course I'm picking a fight over semantics, haven't we established that I'm an rear end in a top hat about this show? We really should talk about something else. Like Domino's pizza. Everybody assumes that Domino's pizza is the worst, but did you know that actually eating their pizza in irresponsible, depressing portions can lead to you lying awake in your bed at 4 in the morning with a sour stomach, hating life?

It's not a talking point, though. It's real. The show's based on a book that gives no explanation to the disappearance, the premise requires the event to be unexplainable, and Lindelof has said on interviews that they're not really interested in explaining the mystery, and that if you didn't like how LOST didn't answer mysteries, you wouldn't like this show either. Now, it's alright to not want to watch the show because you'd like the mystery to be explored. But you can see in a lot of replies and criticisms that many people want everyone to know that they're dropping the show because they're not going to let Lindelof swindle them again or something. Even though he's been upfront about what the show is and isn't. It's basically what people wish they'd done while watching Lost, but didn't.

I stopped eating pizza because none of my local pizzerias understand the term "thin crust" and I'll be damned if I'm eating at Papa Johns. What does that have to do with tv? Nothing, but if the people in CineD can talk about their stupid dead dads in the general chat thread, I can talk about pizza in this one.

The only episode I ever watched of Dexter was the series finale. It didn't bother me that he was a lumberjack, only that he was a lovely lumberjack. Look at that lovely table. This guy wasn't cut out to be a woodworker.

If I remember correctly and you live in Pennsylvania, you should drive to Maryland and get some Ledo Pizza. It's true though, every pizza place I've been to since I moved here has been lovely and disappointing.

Delivery pizza is not acceptable food. Ledo's is ok. Neapolitan pizza is true pizza.

I haven't watched more than a few episodes of Lost, haven't seen the finale, and have no desire to give the show a full watch. I understand that The Leftovers isn't looking to provide an answer to its rapture and am okay with that. I even think there are a lot of aspects that the show does really well. But that doesn't negate the fact that there are valid criticisms to be made about the show. Stop trying to come of with copout excuses for why some of us don't like the show as much as you. Ok, pizza chat to balance out Leftovers chat. I actually enjoy Domino's thin crust pizza (which has a crunchy, crackery crust, ala St. Louis-style pizza), if only because most places around here don't have it. And the few ones that do have it on the menu will often have it made by people who think it just means "like regular pizza, but with the crust as thin as possible."

I can usually find a way to enjoy pizza no matter where it's from, because y'know, it's loving pizza. Except for Papa John's which is like 40% crust over here.

Am I going to have to start talking about game shows again? Because I will do that. I will loving talk about game shows. EDIT: Skin Wars on GSN, Tonight at 9, RuPaul is a judge. Pawnography's main game is some tepid, directionless crap that the bonus game doesn't quite make up for. The Chase got awesome last night with that Super Offer gimmick they introduced.
