I like how the defining characteristic of executive producer Mackenzie is fretting over her wedding plans.

Great posts about Boardwalk Empire. Thank you. I'm still torn over whether I should watch it. I'm not sure I'm willing to give it the patience and attention it seems to warrant

The Librarians is almost aggressively whimsical.

The Librarians so far is literally like Warehouse 13 and Leverage combined into one show. Also with the added bonus of John Larroquette which is fun.

Sober posted:What the hell does this even mean? Like Pushing Daisies cranked up a notch. Although it does calm down a little once the plot actually kicks in. Edit: The second episode seems like its going to be a better indication as to what the series will be. muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Dec 8, 2014 |

An example of the whimsy is the second episode had a death scene for a sword.

It kind of helps in that they kind of establish the craziness of the world but it isn't necessary. muscles like this? posted:An example of the whimsy is the second episode had a death scene for a sword. That for instance is one way in which seeing the movies would have helped more probably. X-O fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Dec 8, 2014 |

Nah, the only character they keep from the movies is Noah Wyle's, who isn't even going to be a regular on the show and since all of the characters are new to the whole "Library" thing they get everything explained to them.

I'm not sure I'm willing to give it the patience and attention it seems to warrant The first three seasons were great, the fourth was pretty good and I stopped watching the last season after I saw that it had navelgaze flashbacks covering stuff that had already been explained in all the previous seasons and the first episode didn't have a single scene with a single character I cared about following anymore. savinhill fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Dec 8, 2014 |

No. The Newsroom isn't even that bad, it's just really disappointing coming from Aaron Sorkin since everyone thought Studio 60 was a fluke. e: the show is still bad but there's plenty that's worse.

I need a new show. I've watched and enjoyed The Wire, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, True Detective, Game of Thrones, Fargo, Hannibal, Fringe, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, Justified, Terriers, Veronica Mars, Arrested Development, Parks & Recreation, Childrens Hospital, South Park, Venture Bros., Party Down, Louie, Rome, Carnivale, Masters of Sex, Penny Dreadful, The Shield, Lost, Archer, The Americans, Orphan Black. I currently watch and enjoy Arrow, The Flash, Agents of SHIELD, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Comedy Bang Bang, The Birthday Boys, Marry Me, Constantine, and believe it or not, Mulaney. My public library recently started offering a free streaming service called Hoopla, which gives me access to Magic City (two seasons) and Spartacus (four seasons). Are either of them worth watching? I also have Amazon Prime, but I feel like I'm out of shows I want to watch on it, and I won't resubscribe to Netflix until Daredevil comes out next year.

Spartacus is a great show once you get past the first 4-5 episodes. Highly recommend it. The Americans and The Good Wife are also streaming on Amazon. http://www.avclub.com/article/ithe-good-wifei-has-proven-itself-a-worthy-success-56168

Just notice the evil chick from The Librarians is Naevia 1 from Spartacus. It's such a cool show.

I only just started The Librarians, but it looks like John Rogers doing an unofficial version of Doctor Who. And because Rogers loving loves Doctor Who, this should be neat.

Spartacus loving owns. Anyone who hasn't watched it should go watch it and should also ignore the fact that the pilot is terrible.

I was thinking it could be called Leveragehouse 13, or The Leverarians. But that is ok since there hasn't really been a quirky fun adventure show on tv since Leverage ended. I enjoyed what they had to show us in the preview for the next few episodes as well.

It wasn't a question of getting tired of the show. Once it got going I was 100% in, I just haven't happened to watch the last season yet. Doesn't help that I've gotten super busy with school.

They basically set it up so that he's going to be a recurring guest star. His character is still going to be running around the world doing "Librarian" things while the actual cast of the show are "Librarians in Training."

Don't forget the whole Caesar getting rear end-raped out of NOWHERE plot device. That was rather shocking.
