Rapey Joe Stalin posted:It was episode one of the Shadow Line. Hey you know what? You are exactly right, I don't know why I didn't remember that when I was looking through wikipedia and google today (I considered and skipped The Shadow Line like 10 times) but I was remembering the first scene of The Shadow Line.

Toxxupation posted:3) piper is kind of a terrible main character, even as the stand-in "in way over her head character" she can be mega insufferable and she's surrounded by people far, far more interesting than her White people write prison shows like this, black people write prison shows like this. Also that's pretty much what the book is from what I've heard. But yes Piper is a terrible character, the show gets a lot better about knowing that in season 2.

With all the anticipation over what show would be first to die this season a few pages ago, seems like this flew under the radar a bit:Maxwell Lord posted:Selfie is getting doubled up to cover MLS' cancellation and I'm not sure if that means they're burning it off or not. It's a shame it's struggling because Gillan is just a natural for comedy. I don't think Selfie is long for this world either because it's really a bad show. I'm glad MLS went first though, because that is a much, much worse show. Karen Gillan deserves to be on something better, and so does John Cho. I still haven't finished Sleepy Hollow season 1, is there any reason he can't return there as Zombie Cop? I've heard things about Forever possibly being on the chopping block as well. I hope it's not true, but it is a show on ABC that I like, so it's probably inevitable that they loving cancel it.

Cho actually showed up in the season 2 premier so they could totally have him around if they really wanted to.

Sleepy Hollow is a show that doesn't really need to play it too tight with continuity anyway.

IRQ posted:White people write prison shows like this, black people write prison shows like this. Also that's pretty much what the book is from what I've heard. david simon isn't white tho also I finished season 1 of oitnb, couple of things 1) it ends unbelievably poorly for a show that could've been only 1 season, like if Netflix hadn't renewed it the end of season 1 doesn't resolve ANYTHING or even have its characters reach a natural endpoint to their arc, the season just...ends 2) pennsatucky is a bad character that seems to have fallen out of a different, more serious prison show the way pennsatucky was written this season was odd and kinda bad, because she's introduced as basically the farcical punchline comic relief from when orange tries, and mostly fails, at being super comedic, and then they turn her into a character on prison break who just happens to be in orange is the new black none of her arc or character moments really work 3) piper is a really, really bad main character to center your show around 4) jenji kohan has a really weird relationship with anime 5) that chicken episocde was really, really bad guys

How the hell is David Simon not white? Also I had similar complaints about s1 but I liked s2 a lot better. e: also this honey boo boo poo poo is worse than I thought, the dude apparently molested one of the mom's daughters when she was eight and she's like NBD

Weeds wasn't terrible for the 3-season show it should have been, although even then it had some glaringly lovely parts to it. It was terrible for however many seasons they dragged it out to though, I bailed way before whenever it ended. raditts fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Oct 27, 2014 |

I meant is whoops I meant to imply that David Simon, being white, could write from a black persons perspective v well so I don't think it's a legitimate excuse to defend how all of Kohans characters on orange feel written from the same white liberal perspective

IF we agree that David Simon represented an inner-city black person's perspective well, which I'm not going to concede simply because white me can't really comment with any veracity on that, it only came after literally decades of covering the inner city and isn't just some neat writing trick anyone can do.

And a lot of fun to watch in Doctor Who. My favorite companion. And she's good in Guardians of the Galaxy (underused, though). To be fair, she is awful in Selfie, it's not just the material. Though the material is also awful.
