corn in the bible posted:It takes a rare gift to write a story that's predictable as hell while also being loving stupid thanks Sherlock writer man Moffat.txt I knew there was dumb what-a-tweest poo poo incoming as soon as they announced the setting for the episode. Still watched it, still got annoyed at myself for watching it.

writers need to learn that IT IS A DREAM is not a valid excuse for making your story bad and stupid

I liked when the man monologued about the virtues of women's suffrage to an all-women murder cult dressed in Klan robes.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:We're about seven episodes into Prison Break Season 2 and still enjoying the silliness and insanity of it all. I like that they're not afraid to kill off major characters. I used to make the threads for Prison Break back when TVIV did threads for individual episodes and they always seemed pretty popular. The T-Bag love was definitely strong. Prison Break was actually one of the first serialized shows I got into so I have a lot of fondness for it, I thought it was great all the way to the end (ignore The Final Break tv movie, it's poo poo). Keep updating us on your progress!

I thought the setting would be interesting enough to put up with rear end in a top hat Holmes, but I've spent the last 40 minutes wishing I were watching an episode of the Jeremy Brett series instead, so I'm going to go do that. A cold Holmes is fine, but Sherlock's incarnation goes out of his way to be a dick. Edit: okay, just before I turned it off a scene happened that seems so stupid I need to keep watching to see if I'm right. Is this all a breakdown in his memory palace or something?

SpiderHyphenMan posted:You must have really hated House. Didn't watch it much, but House had time to have a personality and be interesting. The number of episodes in procedurals may be problematic for some things, but it does allow time for characters to be more than a single personality quirk.

Having finished the episode I think I should clarify my kvetch. Sherlock has changed over the seasons, but it's been so long since I saw it and the episode started with Season 1 rear end in a top hat Holmes so it was easy to think that was how he still was.

An example of him not being a complete rear end in a top hat in Elementary when he saw one of his friends was in pain he was willing to spend time with him.

Pan Dulce posted:You know, this is the only site where I find this opinion and I completely agree with it. I have no idea why people love Sherlock so much. I tried it once and found myself drifting because it was so dry. I don't think either one is great, but season 1 of Sherlock was pretty good and season 1 of Elementary was pretty bad, and they each proceeded to get worse / better over time.

For anybody who cares, the first five episodes of LIP SYNC BATTLE this year are: -Channing Tatum vs. Jenna Dewan -Kevin Hart vs. Olivia Munn -Anthony Anderson vs. Tracee Ellis Ross (!) -Chris D'Elia vs. Brent Morin (!!) -Nina Dobrev vs. Tim Tebow (?!)

Oh, down the line there's also gonna be a Clark Gregg vs. Hayley Atwell episode, I imagine around March when ABC transitions from Agent Carter back to SHIELD.

So Netflix just showed me a preview screen (the coming soon for you thing) of something called Serenity which definitely had the Firefly ship in the background. I can't find anything on google though, are there any news about this anywhere?

The entire mystique of Firefly is based on a mythical perfect second season that will never exist and couldn't possibly live up to expectations. If Firefly had a second season it would have been forgotten like Jericho was.
