MTV has spent 8 years trying to convince people that Rob Dyrdek is a TV star. Those TV executive sex party pictures Dyrdek has must be pretty wild.

I dunno, I think Rob Dyrdek is pretty charismatic. He's a high energy guy who seems to genuinely enjoy just about everything he does.

For two decades, Cinemax has horded every dime earned from softcore porn films with names like Indecent Passions, Lustful Passions, Sex Cops, Sex Passions, and Indecent Sex, and they have not spent any of it. They've cut their budget to the bone, all so that they could, one day, create great television. Nobody believed in Cinemax, but they toiled day in and day out, digging up the softcorest films ever to feature ten seconds of fake breasts. Today, that strategy has paid off.

Eh, the 7 year time skip between last season and this one was a bit jarring for some of the characters. Plus they're doing childhood flashback scenes for Nucky (who is probably the least interesting character on the show despite essentially being the protagonist) and they got off to a pretty slow start. There's more in-depth commentary and views in the thread.

Hey Z-Nation was pretty drat fun. Not a "good" show by any means, but a drat fun one and one I'll be watching every week.

Z-nation is essentially to good zombie media, what Metal Hurlant Chronicles is to The Twilight Zone ft. Forest Whitaker.

Z-nation is The Walking Dead with Down's syndrome, which is already bad considering that the Walking Dead has Alzheimers. Z-nation's only redeeming quality is Garth (Supernatural) who is doing his goddamn best portraying a paper-thin character in a show whose writing was clearly done by a doctor. A doctor Zoidberg, that is.



Finally, the dialogue sounds like something you would read on DeviantArt.

Is it fun? Only if you hate yourself. /rant.

The funny thing is, though, the only one of those shows that isn't trashy as hell is The Knick. Banshee and Strike Back aren't really that far removed from the poo poo Cinemax made their reputation with, they're just both actually good.

I'm going to regret asking this about Banshee, but this is pretty much the difference between me watching the rest of the show now and me watching it closer to the Season 3 premiere.

Did they kill off Siobhan at the end of S2? I heard rumblings about the finale having a brutal ending, and while I'd hate to lose some characters, she's the only one I'd be a little pissed off over losing given the show's somewhat crappy track record with women.

First of all, I prefer the term she. Second of all, no matter how much I joke about it, Z-nation being bad is not trolling. Z-nation being bad is a fact. Literally, you have to be brain dead to enjoy z-nation. The only way I could enjoy it is if I had ALS, and the ALS foundation picked me to do the ice bucket challenge so I could slowly die of hypothermia knowing that I would no longer have to watch Z-nation.

Your enjoyment of Z-nation does not qualify it as being entertaining, for all I know, you could be a Z.

After watching this show, the only thing I was was Zzzzz. Z-nation is poo poo.

Z-Nation reminds me of going to the video rental store as a kid, and every store had one or two Romero zombie films, and dozen wannabes with even worst effects, acting, scripting, direction, etc.

TWD is Romero, Z-Nation is all the rest.

I still enjoy those craptacular zombie movies, but I have no illusions that they are good at anything except being terrible.

Z Nation is an Asylum production. It is exactly as bad as their movies.

Whether one likes that or not is not my business, but that's what it is. But don't expect things like plot, characters, good acting, good action, good gore, good anything, or no less than 3 dozen sped up camera transitions.

That said, I will watch it because the Sharknado movies are similarly abject garbage but manage to be funny - we shall see if Z Nation does that.

It feels unfair, as the Japanese team combined is probably about 3 ft shorter than the Americans and Europeans. The smallest guy was 5'3, 115 pounds.

The ending of this was loving brilliant. For some reason the Americans always come off to me as, like, the cliche "Arrogant American Karate Dudes" so seeing the look on the USA guy's face when he lost the competition by .31 seconds was so, so deeply enjoyable.

It feels really weird 'cause the Americans never do all that well when they manage to make it to Japan, but then in these shows when they host the events in the US it's the opposite. I guess it's probably because the weird scoring system they use biases the competition in their favor.

They haven't been to Japan in a few years. The last few times several went most of them did really well which is kind of the reason the started doing a yearly American version. Now they do it here instead of going over there.
