There already was a Clarice Starling type character and they took her arm off.

Kind of odd that Lifetime never got their show off the ground. I don't think they even got as far as casting, they just announced it with a premise (Clarice doing FBI stuff) and then nothing happened.

Maybe they realized a show about Clarice that isn't able to feature Hannibal is worthless.

e: unrelated, but is there no Orphan Black thread this year? Season's really good.

Instead of Hannibal Lector, she teams up with Hannibal Burress and it's now a buddy cop comedy.

Yeah it's a shame. I was hoping that having their streams available on the Amazon platform for cheap might be enough to get a subscriber base to keep them alive. You gotta wonder how niche companies can really exist even with opportunities like that.

So TBS has been pretty much killing it with comedies lately, but man, The Guest Book seems awful so far. I'm halfway into the 1st episode and so far so bad. I'll give it a few episodes to figure itself out, hopefully it improves.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a new Netflix original project to be written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, and produced by Annapurna Television, is coming in 2018 for Netflix members around the world.

The Western anthology will feature six tales about the American frontier told through the unique and incomparable voice of Joel and Ethan Coen. Each chapter will feature a distinct story about the American West. The project will star Tim Blake Nelson as Buster, and many others.

Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen will write and direct the anthology, as well as serve as executive producers. Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle from Annapurna Television will also serve as executive producers, along with longtime Coen Brothers collaborator Robert Graf. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is an Annapurna Television production and will premiere in 2018.

“We are streaming motherfuckers!,” said Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.

That sounds sick. Have the Coens done a traditional western before?

My thing is that I don't see this succeeding very well because we already know the broad strokes of what happens from her POV and there's only the one relationship she had from when the original HIMYM started to when it ended

Plus they're all older and probably wouldn't look like early-to-mid 20's people

I think you're a bit confused as the How I Met Your Father show was never supposed to be about the Mother from the original series. It was just the same concept. The first version of it was supposed to star Greta Gerwig.

This is a lot funnier when you know that Kris Straub, the creator of Chainsawsuit, has a SyFy channel miniseries based on a creepypasta that literally nobody watched.

Wait, Channel Zero? Didn't enough people watch it to warrant a second season?

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Channel Zero: Candle Cove was actually pretty good. Flawed but an interesting and creepy little story in a tight package. I hope the whole Channel Zero thing really takes off because a nice horror anthology series like that is basically what I was hoping American Horror Story would be.

I loved Oz when it aired. I had a giant VHS collection of them I recorded. I had some bootleg DVD set that I bought on ebay many, many years ago before HBO Go or even HBO DVDs became such a big thing or probably even Amazon.

I tried to rewatch a couple of years ago on HBO Go and I just didn't take. I didn't make a big, full effort so maybe I just wasn't focused enough. But I feel like Oz might have just been surpassed by 20 years of "prestige television" that followed it basically being the first HBO/cable "prestige" Sunday show before that was a thing.

Still, there were a lot of talented actors and performances so its probably worth a try if you're interested. I did love it when it aired. Even if it got really silly in those last couple of seasons.

If you watched a lot of L&O: SVU, it's fun seeing Det. Stabler playing a psycho murderer that has a messed up romantic gay relationship. And Eko from Lost is just bizarre.

Because of OZ I could never trust J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-man as I kept on thinking he wanted to make Spider-man his prag.

So far Difficult People season 3 is just as funny as ever but is also doing a great thing where they're using background and incidental jokes to make it clear that they're in a dystopian reality.
