Short answer: Yes. Long answer: still yes, but if the episode features R2 or Threepio as the main characters don't bother, just skip it. Also some of the best episodes are about Galactic Senate drama. No, really. Also it doesn't matter if you don't really remember the plot of eps II or III, basically all you need to know is that the Jedi have an army of clones that aren't storm troopers (yet). asecondduck fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Oct 21, 2015 |

There are two Clone Wars. There's the short, traditionally animated, Tartakovsky version that came out in between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The first batch of episodes are short, action heavy vignettes focusing on the war, with the last few being a longer, story-driven leadup to Episode III. It's really good, if you like that sort of thing. There's the longer CGI series from 2008 onwards, which is a lot more uneven but is pretty fun overall.

Looked really odd to me until I pulled up some videos from that show and figured out what he was doing.

Man comic book shows should just avoid certain drama tropes/staples because drat if the family theme in The Flash tonight was laughable. Bringing up parental abuse left and right like it's nothing.

I'm a couple days late on this, but the latest "present-day" part of Sunday's Quantico episode didn't do any favours for Alex. Okay, so the twist of wire she found in the secret room next to her apartment was made by Shelby's company, but I don't think that's the smoking gun that Alex seems to think it is. If that company makes wire, that implies that said wire leaves the company and goes elsewhere, either in pure wire form, or as part of another product. But no, clearly the only explanation must be that Shelby is behind the bombing. Maybe there's more to the story in "the past" which explains why Alex would jump to that conclusion, but right now it's dubious.

Despite having no interest in Star Wars, I found REBELS surprisingly enjoyable. It has limitations sure, but on the whole it sort of made me think that you know, with the right people working in it this is a pretty rich world to mine. I know it's easy to poo poo on the prequels, but literally everything that show has done has eclipsed those movies. I kind of just wish that one of these Star Wars properties would now just move away from the same time period and do something else.

I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but that is well-established in the comics. Flash #182 (from the previous series) is written by co-showrunner Geoff Johns, whose Flash comics are the largest influence on the show. It's a retelling of Captain Cold's origin, including (and possibly introducing?) the abuse, making him a somewhat more relatable and sympathetic character.

If the Legends of Tomorrow trailer is to be believed, Snart will be doing a face turn. It's probably setup for that.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I just finished watching the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend premiere with my wife. We both like musicals a lot, but she loved Glee, which I generally hated. The premiere was really charming, and watching Rebecca Bloom in it was seeing a star being born. Her character is quite disturbed and just barely keeping it together, but also sympathetic and very likable. She does a lot of great acting with her facial expressions and has a terrific voice. I was impressed that she co-wrote and created the show, too. There is a really dark streak underneath the rom-com setting, and the show balanced those elements very well. Yo all of this is correct and more people should seek it out. Strongest pilot of the season to date (narrowly beating Scream Queens). Really wish they would have tried harder when naming the show as it's almost certainly doomed it to be a one-and-done. The lead in particular is absolute dynamite and I can't believe I haven't heard of them before now.  rear end Blood

Yahoo, the company that can't do anything right, lost $42 million in it's video division last quarter and the CEO specifically mentioned Community and the two original shows as the reason why.

Aphrodite posted:Stop giving Dan Harmon money, everyone. Nah, give him money. The shows he makes are fun and good even if the man behind them has... his moments. I'm more sad that Other Space is probably never seeing production ever again though, it was a charming little indie production that couldn't have existed more than a few years ago, and now feels like it probably shouldn't have existed at all. But it was a good attempt at a low budget first season and I had a lot of hope for its return, but I guess that's over.

I wasn't sold on Other Space at first but as I got towards the end I realized I was really into it and disappointed to realize it was over. Neither it nor Community season six should have existed in the first place but I'm grateful that Yahoo! decided to throw money down the drain so they could be made. Five years from now when we're all paying $40 a month each for Hulu, Neflix and the Comcast equivalent that's mandatory with all their internet plans and all the new shows are incredibly specifically viewer-matrixed to death and yet somehow thematic carbon copies of each other we'll look back wistfully at this, the age of Peak TVŠ.

I find it hard to believe that all the market research by Netflix resulted in House of Cards. Do people want to see something so boring? It started out interesting when they said David Fincher was directing with a huge budget but I doubt he's even thought about the show after taking the money.

They were also doing some next-level DNS blocking poo poo, I couldn't watch ANY of their content from Canada which lead me to pirate the entire season of community they financed. I didn't even watch the last half of it, it just sort of lost the desire. On the flipside Hulu doesn't even try to geofence me the same way Yahoo did and I gladly pay $8.99/mo or whatever it is they ask for.
