Casting for the American version of Misfits. It's not anyone you've ever heard of. I was meh about this but turns out that Diane Ruggiero-Wright is the showrunner so I'm tentatively interested.

I just hope it's the same quality British to USA remake that Inbetweeners was.

Well, VM and iZombie are two shows that integrate comedy and drama extreeeemly well so it has a better than average chance of pulling it off. It may not hit all the same notes as the British original but when you bring shows across the pond either way, it's better if the transplant show tries to be its own thing rather than being a perfect copy of the original.

Just actual community service sentences? That was already the case for the time travel guy anyway.

I've never been in serious trouble so I don't know how CS actually goes down, I imagine it varies state to state. Do people in community service typically serve with the same group over a long period of time? I guess that wouldn't be too much of a narrative stretch to make up if not.

You're right it depends on the state and how their appropriate departments handle case management. Years ago my cousin had to serve 2 months of CS in Michigan and she told me it was mostly the same group the whole time with the only changes being when someone's service was completed a new face took that person's place. They picked garbage off the side of roads.

Judges can do all kinds of stuff. Make someone hold an Idiot sign above their head on a street corner for 2 days, force a slumlord to live in his own lovely apartments, etc. Assigning teenagers to help a specific community center sounds like something they probably do all the time.

Wynonna Earp is back tonight. It's a comic adaptation, the second (third?) coming of Buffy, and had a pretty great first season.

I just finished watching Legion and I thought it was some grade A TV. Really well made and interestingly done stuff with great characters and story and style. I was just curious about outside of David and the main villain were there any other characters lifted from the comic books? When it comes to any media based on comics my brain tries to find easter eggs and references and such, but for Legion it couldn't really do that. I kind of like the idea of original characters for shows, especially seeing that you can make new characters with unique mutant powers.

The Eye was in Simon Spurrier's run of Legion. David's Father and Shadow King most def. That's about it. There are plenty of other versions of Division 13 in the comics tho.

OK I'm doing that thing I said I'd do where I would watch the first seven episodes of the four CW DC show and then watch the crossover all at once. I'm wrapping up the first part of LoT and my opinions about the first seven episodes of all the shows are: they're all pretty good this season. Supergirl has the biggest jump in quality, but that's because CBS only knows how to make shows bad apparently. Arrow's great, Flash is fine and LoT is entertaining if nothing else. Also these shows benefit greatly from binge watching rather than week-to-week so thanks to Netflix and Hulu for forcing this on me.

I finished season four of Arrow by they way (will probably go back to watching Nikita now) and I thought it was generally fine; it definitely benefits from being able to binge it all in one go. The flashbacks were the weakest bit but I haven't really been into the flashbacks since season two. Does Darhk's kid show up in season five?

Rhyno posted:It was shown at WizardWorld Chicago in 2014? They stopped it 10 minutes in and berated two guys for recording it with their phones and then refused to show the rest. They also played it at NYCC one year close to when it was made. I got to see it. From what I can remember, it was actually pretty good. It just got made a few years too early. If it was made now, I can see it being picked up by an FX or AMC. gninjagnome fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Jun 13, 2017 |

Watched the crossover for the DC shows and I thought it was: alright. The big strengths were the character work and interactions, but they didn't let Supergirl in the mix enough, I thought. Dunno if it's just that Benoist has grown into the role more or they are writing/directing the character different, but she is way better in season 2 than season 1, and I thought she was fine in season 1. Also like how they're allowing Ollie to be involved in the humor more, even if it's just as a straight man. I liked how they worked to make each part of the crossover fit in with the show it was on, rather than just making it a three part story. I was very impressed how they were able to not only do an excellent, maybe top-10 episode of Arrow and still let it fit in organically with the crossover while still honoring the show itself on the occasion of its 100th episode. I was glad they reasonably resolved everyone being mad at Barry, and also how Barry's gently caress up has a lot of weight and consequences this season. As for what I didn't like, the aliens plot was dull and didn't really make a ton of sense. Reminded me a lot of Independence Day, where beating the aliens involves a lot of convenience and plot contrivances. Also the global threat didn't really work for the show because of the limited budget, I thought the big fight on the rooftop was actually the worst fight of the crossover (especially compared with the Arrow dream-fight and the mind-controlled fight). It takes a lot of work and tech to make CGI vs. IRL fights look good, and they had neither. And then it just kind of wraps up because Barry and Kara put bone-hurting juice on the aliens and they lost a single fight. For their next go round I hope they go with a more grounded and local threat, and make the plot simpler and more organic.

I'd agree that it's more likely to be better as an HBO series than a movie, and Lindelof did just knock it out of the park with Leftovers. Will it work, welllllll we'll see. This probably got bounced around when the movie was forthcoming, but the best premise I think would be to use it as a commentary on screen superhero stories in the way the book is a commentary on comics superhero stories. It would probably entail major departures from the original though, and who knows if fans would tolerate that.

Yeah, as I just said in another thread Lindelof just wrapped the most universally acclaimed series HBO has had in forever. For them to want him back on something else immediately makes perfect sense.
