Which episode of Agents of Shield was the showdown on the alien planet where Ward is possessed? I can't remember if it was a season or mid-season finale and want to pick it back up.

Yeah, you're thinking of Maveth; Season 3 Episode 10. Honestly feels like a lifetime ago at this point. This show crams so much stuff into its running time and arcs, it's loving crazy.

precision posted:Bates Motel is amazing, it kicks into high gear around the end of season 2 and never lets up. Season 4 is flat-out phenomenal and the upcoming final season looks great. I'm starting to run out of decent serialized shows to watch myself and was considering watching this. What about before the end of S2? Is it still good? Is it a rocky start but gets better after a few episodes sort of deal? I tend to sometimes drop shows to watch other things if the first couple episodes don't hook me(For instance I've only watched 1 or 2 episodes of The 100 despite hearing it's good, I do intend to keep going with it eventually), and sometimes when I give them another chance I wind up really liking them. Rectify is another show I've only watched one episode of, but keep hearing it's worth picking back up.

Josh Lyman posted:I'm doing it. I quit Quantico at the S1 mid-season break, but I'm going to jump back in with S2. Did you watch Blindspot yet? It's uh... Also kinda ridiculous, but I think it's got to be better than Quantico, from the clips I've seen of Quantico. It's got spy thriller stuff and also a good dose of action. Chases and gunfights and martial arts in every episode.

feedmyleg posted:Is The Mick not mediocre? I heard it was mediocre, at least the first few episodes when reviewed by several publications. It's better than mediocre, though some of the early episodes don't hit hard. Episode 3 was not that great for example. After that, it stays consistent.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's good from jump street, it's just that it doesn't immediately go as crazy as you might think. Cuse did a quite good job of establishing the town and putting the pieces in place before flipping the table.

Yeah I find with a lot of modern sitcoms you have to accept a little... shakiness with continuity. The writers want to have the characters and plot develop in natural and organic ways, the network thinks the ratings will be better if you play episode 6 before episode 2. It's a very old practice, it's just that the shows themselves increasingly do not fit with this. Anyway The Mick is great. The pilot is, like many comedy pilots, just sort of okay, has a few laughs but mostly sets things up. But it picks up quickly.

Don't trust the B had unaired season 1 episodes being aired randomly in the middle of season 2. That show was a complete mess order-wise. http://alotofblood.tumblr.com/post/51435849201/dont-trust-the-bitch-correct-episode-order For example the 3rd and 6th episode production wise were the last 2 episodes aired before the show was cancelled. hope and vaseline fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Feb 22, 2017 |

Josh Lyman posted:Yeah the first half of s3 in Florence was iffy but the second half that's Red Dragon was great. "Bowels in, or bowels out?" I really enjoyed how Hannibal was both faithful to it's source material and yet went completely away from it. I'm kind of glad they never got the rights to Silence of the Lambs because I think it would have taken away from the Hannibal/Will romance.

I'm a little surprised to see people celebrating the Red Dragon arc over the Hannibal arc in season 3. While Red Dragon was still strong, there were a lot of confusing production decisions that marred the arc. You had Dolarhyde still working at a film processing facility when he could have just worked for "facebook" (I recall people presupposing he did so from a logo in one of the production stills), TattleCrime inexplicably reverting to paper tabloid status, the comparatively mundane nature of Francis's crimes, among others. I feel it also suffered from many of Red Dragon book's nuances having been plundered to fit into the first 2 1/2 seasons, as well. Personally, I regard the Hannibal arc as the climax of the show, and Red Dragon as the denouement. In Italy, you had the characters directly confronting the traumas they received, and making their major changes. We had Will embrace mutilation-for-art just as Hannibal explored his empathy, Jack severing all his old relationships and Alana forging a new path, and Mason approaching new levels of codependency and gaucheness. I regard Will's rebuke after the most literal expression of Hannibal's "heroism" as the most important part of the show. As the show stands, I can interpret Will as having finally turned away from his own darkness despite incessant temptation. Lurdiak posted:The final scene of Hannibal S3 being a hair away from "gunshot, fade to black" might as well be my review for the show. Bedelia ate herself out of fear and that's that until season 4 starts filming! On other notes: As much as I enjoy Man Seeking Woman, I am very displeased with this week's episode for tarnishing my image of Peter Gallagher as the #1 TV Dad. (I was, like, 12 when I watched the OC.) STAC Goat posted:But by bailing on the end of S3 I think you miss some key things to hate Piper on like her framing Ruby Rose and getting her sent to max. Uhh, no, actually eliminating that black hole was the best thing Piper ever did. (Well, after leading to more screentime for Flaca via the panty-selling scheme) Also also, has any news come out about the renewal of Sweet/Vicious? I adore that first season, and would love to see more.

It's still on the bubble, even though it's been pulling lower numbers than the two comedies MTV just cancelled. A bad sign is that it was developed under a previous regime, so there aren't any personal incentives to keep it around. On top of that, the Viacom CEO is claiming that the new MTV president's marching orders is on solidifying its unscripted lineup, because apparently running four hour blocks of Ridiculousness and Catfish every day isn't solid enough. That said, the critics are screaming loud enough for the new president to acknowledge it. quote:"Sweet/Vicious is a story we think is incredibly important and very timely and we're trying to figure out what the right way to relaunch that and figure out what the next iteration of that is. No decision has been made yet but we love the show and are trying to figure that out." I mean they could start by actually promoting the loving thing and getting it on streaming platforms other than their own, but I'll take what I can get.
