[quote="ShakeZula" post="472007140"] I found it pretty cathartic, but then I also thought it was extremely well-done Really?! You couldn't help but picture Aria stupidly fumbling around a kitchen checking a cooking book as she bales a pie for the first time, hoping no one comes in and questions what she's doing there with two Frey corpses and a crimping fork? It was dumb as gently caress and pushed Aria from broken, revenge motivated young girl into Dexter Morgan magic serial killer territory. She loving chopped up and baked two people. It's dumb as gently caress.

We don't know how long the first two killings took, how long she set this up, how much time even passes between the last time we see Arya and this happening. It's space for a lot of things to happen, and not showing it step by step isn't really a plot hole.

Arya cant bake a pie she probably can barely read. She just took some fingers and stuck it in a pre cooked pie.

Agents of Shield is a good show and the production team is totally different. If there's any no surprise that Inhumans looks bad it should be that it's being run by Dexter showrunner Scott Buck

I don't know the quality of Agents of Shield. I mean visually it looks lovely. Something had to have gone really wrong for the Inhumans to go from tentpole summer blockbuster to a small mini series.

Those Inhuman costumes look a little bad but I was actually kind of worried they'd just be wearing suits and poo poo so I'm relieved there's costumes at all. I'll reserve strong judgment until I see them in action or with lighting and stuff in a trailer. Either way I've enjoyed Marvel TV so I'm almost certainly in.

try the new taco place posted:Superstore tonight was a pretty crazy season finale. Can't wait for season 3. For me, Sandra ice-grilling Carol as she shut the door and left her to die was the highlight of this, the season finale of a lighthearted sitcom. My immediate thought after the reveal of the storm damage at the end was "Wonder if they're having to change shooting locations for S3 and had to write that into the script" - which turns out to be true - but I also suspect "Everybody had to take a little time off (And corporate no longer asked for layoffs)" is going to give them a nice status quo reset.

Adult Swim is running the end of the first and start of the second season of Frisky Dingo on their animation marathon on their website right now. Even though I watched it when it first aired and am totally aware the people behind FD were later behind Archer, I can't believe how much it feels like an awful, dollar store knockoff with a more annoying, idiotic Archer in Xander Crews and an equal number of leaned-on-too-hard catchphrases (BOOSH!, Ba-ba-boo, Slideshow!). e- The first season of FD was really good as I remember, with the second not holding up as well.

For a series that runs a grand total of 4 1/2 hours, can really anything be leaned on too hard? Season 2 kind of depresses me now though since it happened in real life.

Insanity. Both seasons of Frisky Dingo are fantastic, especially the second. Adam Reed has definitely honed his writing with Archer, but because it's a half hour show things can breathe in a way they couldn't on FD, and as a result it only rarely has the same kind of intense rhythm that defined its predecessor (Skytanic and Lo Scandalo jump to mind as examples of capturing that same manic energy.) The speed with which running jokes and wordplay would build and layer on top of each other over the course of FD, both within an episode and over the course of the season, was staggering. The dueling Presidential campaigns storyline in S2 does run a little long (And, yeah, isn't as fun now as it was at the time,) but it makes up for it with how much things just go into overdrive in those final 4 episodes. It's probably because he knew renewal prospects for the show were dim at best, but I really enjoyed how Reed killed off a good 3/4 of the cast with no fanfare left and right in that home stretch as the storylines start wrapping up. Efficient and unsentimental ("Is complicated enough without all this evil-twin bullshit having.") And as good as Jon Benjamin is, I still wish Archer were just Xander Crews, or at that at the very least Reed could find a way to use that voice and character again. Ray sounds a lot like Xander, slightly more nasal, but he's missing Xander's reprehensibly conceited nature. Ugly In The Morning posted:Frisky Dingo definitely infected my vocabulary with some sayings I still use seven years after I watched the drat thing. Oh yeah. "Not with that attitude" "Not with ANY attitude!" "[Blank] made headlines again today - but not the good kind, like you want."

Master cylinder combined with Google's gif searching has been my default chat response for so many things. And yes, so many things I still say today. "We can't ever go back to 'x'!" "Not with that attitude. Not with ANY attitude." "Is complicated enough without at that evil twin bullshit having." Every single time I exchange money with one of my friends, we reinact the check throwing scene. For something that ran for such a short amount of time, it had a huge influence.

A friend had a Scion tC at the time, so you know every time I hopped in the passenger seat I had to let him know that while the bold, sleek styling was all, like, "ka-kow," the 2.4 liter dual overhead cam engine with 160 horsepower was all, like, "ka-KOW." That's one of those instances where I knew it was product placement, and even worse, it was that self-aware nudge-nudge "hey, did you get that this is a paid sponsorship" product placement that even 30 Rock had a hard time pulling off - but it worked. I laughed and I still remember it. Scion! tC! Scion! tC!
