precision posted:The whole first episode was loving amazing and from the ending shot I'm assuming things are gonna get really fuckin' weird. When the title card came up I was like 'oh wow this is a late one' and it was only after the fourth page of cast members being listed did I realize the entire episode had flown by. May they never stop making this drat show.

I only get a shaky CBS, NBC, and Fox with my antenna but I get a poo poo ton of random rear end SD channels that show old shows and movies. Sometimes I do just flip them on when I can't sleep or can't get up or am doing something and just want some background on. Or if my internet is acting up. Right now i can watch Blue Hawaii on Movies!, Star Trek the Next Generation on Heroes, and Walker Texas Ranger on GRIT. I think I'll go with Elvis but one day I'll look up where the hell these channels are coming from.

William Zabka has been trying to get this Karate Kid thing made for like 10 years now. He first started talking about it after directing the No More Kings video which is amazing and you can watch right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olQ3vaiv47I

WGN is playing all of the Slap Bet episodes of HIMYM and even my complete lack of desire to rewatch the series for the most part cannot ruin the last 10 minutes of Slap Bet, one of the best sitcom episodes ever. The payoff is amazing, it created two running jokes that lasted the rest of the series and it combined Tiffany jokes and Canada jokes into one beautiful, perfect music video.

I am down with the Karate Kid show being about a middle aged dude getting into mixed martial arts to take down his high school nemesis. I feel like a self aware show would be pretty funny.

So I posted way back in June some time about my partner and I both thinking about watching Lost for the first time. Well, between then and today we've watched all 6 seasons, just finishing tonight. We both loved the whole thing, going in open for anything and getting to watch a couple per day - and with no big breaks between seasons - definitely made a difference I think. Good stuff all around, season 6 has been my personal favourite but there was never anything major I didn't enjoy.

So much photoshop and crazy poo poo.

It bothers me how perfect they made The Mother, in that she got along perfectly with everyone immediately, knowing how to ameliorate Lily's anger at Marshall, Barney's issues with women and Robin, and I can't recall how she met Marshall or Robin but I'm sure she perfectly solved their immediate emergency and perfectly understood their personalities

I think she meets Robin when Robin tries to bolt on the day of the wedding and plows her over?

It's the only episode I skip when I rewatch the show. Personally I really enjoy seasons 5 and 6, but for me the first season will always be my favorite. Quite possibly the best writers room a TV show will ever have, great character work, and the mysteries were fresh and new, culminating with quite possibly the best cocktease of a season finale ever aired. ...goddamn it it's time for another rewatch, isn't it.

I'm surprised there was no Wet Hot American Summer thread. I seem to recall we got one last time. This season was fun, but it feels like with that ending that they think they've done all they can do with it. I loved some of the meta jokes like Coop saying they can continue the conversation in episode 4 and David Hyde Pierce doing a cameo in his own room, making up a password, and then walking away past his Emmy awards

I get it's a budget thing, but I do wish they'd bring back some of the creature effects from S1/2. Now, regardless of what it is, it's usually a variation on the same idea (Appears like a person, but they're a monster underneath).

lelandjs posted:What did you think about S03E09, "Stranger In a Strange Land"? It's the only episode I skip when I rewatch the show. Getting to watch a couple every day really evened out any low points, I had to go back to a summary of that episode to see what the deal was. Thinking back now it definitely had the least interesting flashback I can remember. Pretty much the kind I forgot about as soon as it was over. I remember reading an old interview with Lindelof recently, where even they thought the flashback was pretty bad and used his real tattoos to try and get some story out of it. With so many episodes per season I guess it's to be expected, even the lowest points still looked great and had plenty of good moments going for them. I loved the changes in scope and story between every season, I'd definitely enjoy a rewatch of the smaller-scale season 1 again one day. That end of season 1 was something special for sure, nothing about it ever got spoiler through pop culture so I got to enjoy it fresh. Lots of cool holy poo poo moments of island mystery as well. Seeing the countdown switch from numbers to ominous red heiroglyphs the first time was especially memorable at the time. So many good moments all the way through, season 6 was just extra special for me. Ab Aeterno with more of Richard's story, Across The Sea, and the two part finale were especially good. i enjoyed the change in S6 flashes the most and it all came together in a really satisfying way for me.

Rhyno posted:May it never end. Well based on the evidence available it probably won't. It gets consistent ratings, has basically stabilized in quality where it pretty much never dips into something you'd turn off if you've been with it this long, and the people making it seem up for doing it for as long as the network will have them.

The story going around is that they'll end it when 300 episodes hits - that'll be the last season. Who knows though, the CW constantly said they'll keep making it as long as the stars want to. Jared has definitely said the goal is 300, then "we'll see how we feel".

Honestly, the whole season felt like they're kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel. It's still a decent watch and definitely has its moments (David Hyde Pierce alone makes the entire thing worthwhile) but I kind of hope they're hanging it up here.

Snak posted:"Stranger in a Strange Land" exists solely to "explain" Matthew Fox's real-life tattoo. I've seen somewhere that it was actually a gambit by Cuse and Lindelof--they made an episode that was intentionally medicore and, instead of advancing the overall plot, explained the most inane "mystery" they could think of. They then took the ratings and viewer response to the ABC execs and said "Look, either you can give us an end date so we can start working towards an ending like the viewers want, or we can keep spinning our wheels with episodes like this, we'll lose viewers, and you'll end up cancelling us in a year or two." I like to think that's what actually happened, because overall the casting in Lost is so good that the only logical explanation for notably terrible actress Bai Ling being in the show is that they were pulling a "Producers" style stunt. Or maybe they just put out a bad episode.

I won't go see it and it looks terrible, but I'm kind of impressed that Bad Moms came out in the summer of 2016, they announced the sequel on December 23rd, 2016, they started filming at the beginning of May 2017 and it's going to be in theaters almost exactly 5 months later. Meanwhile, a couple of weeks before that we're getting an absolutely atrocious looking movie (Same Kind Of Different As Me) that literally was finished shooting before 2014 ended. Hollywood is weird.

I somehow missed that Amazon Prime added all of the original episodes of Unsolved Mysteries and even added brand new updates for some of the cases. This is going to take up some significant time out of my life for the rest of this year probably.
