Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i think there's probably a huge untapped market for doing another period drama of similarly high-quality costuming and set dressing, but set firmly in the 50s or even late 40s. people would eat that poo poo up. i dunno. there's already Mad Men (never seen it but probably close enough) but it just seems like that would probably be v expensive and mostly boring?

Ringo Star Get posted:I'm the newly installed telephone episode where someone doesn't know how one uses it, and then calls it a device of torture. Years ago I watched some show called Bordertown. It was set at the US/Canadian border and a mountie and a marshall or something about 100 years ago. Episode where the town gets electricity, holy poo poo! Electricity is horrible because it lets people see how dirty stuff is and some kid does something that gets him electrocuted. So, the marshal guy, having had enough of this so-called advancement, shoots up the lights and sets things right. https://youtu.be/51RYgUyx6IQ?t=1148 JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Nov 10, 2015 |

seems excessive until you realize that the light bulbs represent jack's unresolved feelings towards his dead father and the whole episode was building towards it.

I liked Grantchester. Sometimes the story seemed a little too cozy but the friendship between the detective and the priest was fun.

I want to talk about how bad Indian Summers is, because I feel like I am the only person in the world watching this lovely show. The main three leads are Ralph Whelan, the secetary to the viceroy, Alice, his sister who ran away from England with her baby because she doesn't love her husband (this is a secret), and Aafrin Dalal who works for Ralph. Then there is a preacher guy who runs an orphanage, his wife, and an Indian women who helps him run the orphanage, an old lady and a Scottish guy. Ralph is groomed to be the next viceroy by the old lady, but wait!! He has a dark secret, he had a love affair with an Indian women and she had a son named Adam! She is dead and now the son is going to the preacher's orphanage, and the preacher knows Adam is Ralph's son! But the preacher's wife also knows secrets! She knows Alice has run away from home and is blackmailing her to get good seats and parties and force her to be her friend. But Alice has another secret, she loves Aafrin, and Aafrin loves her, but its a forbidden love. But when the show starts Aafrin already has a girlfriend society looks down upon because she is from a different religion. Also Aafrin's sister is a radical who supports Gandhi. Also the Scottish guy kinda hangs around! I don't really know why he is in this show because for the most part he barely interacts with the other main characters! He just really looks out of place and confused most of the time so despite being totally pointless his part of the show is the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wmDj6TGsyc He has no right to be this confused.

He just has like this really bizarre moral code that makes him hosed up.

In Downton Abbey there was an anal scene in the first season and there was a scandal about it. I'm not kidding.

I liked when the dowager countness found out and came to Mary's rescue, acting haughty about kids these days thinking they invented anal sex, when she had been pegging the Tsar 30 years ago

downton abbey is great for the scene where the guy is driving his car and you know he is going to die in a car accident because he is so happy and they never show anyone driving cars in that show

Pick posted:downton loving sucks a huge load and i cannot believe anyone likes it the first season was p good and then as it kept going it became good in a different way, specifically as inadvertent comedy like when the loser sister gets stood up at the goddamn altar by father time's great great grandfather, if you didn't laugh your heart is dead and it was common knowledge that marys husband was gonna bite it and leave the show so my fiancé and I kept guessing how it would happen, eventually we settled on a giant bird attack on the golf course. it was slightly less ridiculous than what actually happened and significantly less contrived. also wtf anal scene? you guys gaslighting me here cuz i don't really remember that at all

I want a historical drama where all the characters are gay and there's one straight guy they all shine on but mostly just roll their eyes at and ignore.

I saw a stage play once that was an original Sherlock Holmes mystery set in London in 1914, and the final scene had WWI breaking out with the sound of air raid sirens and bombs dropping.

Also there's a kitchen girl named Daisy that falls in love Thomas, a flaming gay Brit who is so gay that no one thinks he is gay at all. There's this other footman that is in love with the very plain Daisy and is constantly getting cockblocked by Thomas because gay men back then loved to have drama and scandals going on. Then World War 1 happens, and the footman wants to marry Daisy but Daisy wants the gay penis. Everyone pretty much forced Daisy to get engaged to the footman because hello it's the 1914s no woman has rights. So obviously the footman gets a serious wound and returns to the loving place where he works to die peacefully. They have a small wedding for the soon-to-die footman and Daisy and then the footman dies overnight. After that Daisy kept getting mad at getting married to a corpse and then everyone goes back to being British. Oh the gay footman, Thomas, also goes to war but becomes a medic, tries to make out with dudes, and then cowardly gets his hand shot to avoid going over the top into a battle. He then returns to Downton Abbey, helps out a local doctor, falls in love with a blind soldier and wants to blow his dick. Blind solider kills himself because the gays can't have anything nice either. Then Moneypenny from Goldeneye joins the show, THE BLACKS and JAZZ come to the show and suddenly everyone wants equal rights and is crying about how women have power and things to say. A better show? Bill Nye the Science Guy.
