-Blackadder- posted:Holy loving poo poo, Fresh Off the Boat is fantastic. The real Eddie Huang is a complete and total shitlord douchebag and no the show does not suffer from him not being the narrator one bit. He was actually a vocal critic of the show because it didn't feature enough domestic violence and abuse, because when you sell the rights to your book to Disney you expect the sitcom to have lots of that right? Go watch anything that guy has done and you'll see that he's not an asset.

Mu Zeta posted:gently caress The Walking Dead up its rear end. It's been two weeks now and they are still dangling whether Glenn is dead or alive. It's season 2 with the farm all over again. gently caress these guys. What? Didn't we very clearly see him die? And his farmhouse wife in the same episode? Dude's dead, you're being weird wondering about it. TWD sucks but this isn't why.

Nah if he was explicitly dead he would have shown up on the Talking Dead show. Every major actor has after they died. We're gonna get at least one more Glenn focused episode. Mu Zeta fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Nov 9, 2015 |

Last week on Talking Dead, they were being real wishy-washy about Glenn's fate. They're purposely trying to dick viewers around with this.

If he was really dead they would've been a lot more boo hoo about it.... Wow, that train of thought just jumped me back to season 3 when T-Dog died. drat, that turned out to be really poignant.

Please keep the Walking Dead discussion in its own thread. That contagion cannot be allowed to spread to other threads. If you want to talk about the show doing it in that terrible thread is the sacrifice that must be made.

Just about every single character is written the same and it just tries way too hard to have them all be the most jaded, miserable & edgy people ever that it just gets annoying to watch and impossible to give a gently caress about anyone or anything on the show.

So, I watched the first two episodes of TNT's Agent X, and it's 100% absurd, but in a semi-good way. It's like Human Target, 24 and National Treasure had a clone baby. Sharon Stone is the VP, and has her own Batcave where she sends a secret agent on missions for her on the behalf of the country. Edit: Also, James Earl Jones plays the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Jamey "Randall Flagg" Sheridan is the FBI Director. Gonz fucked around with this message at 10:22 on Nov 9, 2015 |

I wish we could get some more 24. I was watching The Player the other day I realized I just can't get into any of these action shows, The Blacklist, Blindspot, Quantico, The Player, the tone just always seems too light and episodic to me. I miss good serial stuff like 24. vvv EDIT: I watched and enjoyed the first series or whatever of Strike Back, but when they changed production the tonal shift was a bit too much. I heard one of my favorite actors, Charles Dance has a great run as a villain on it though, so I do plan on giving it another go at some point. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Nov 9, 2015 |

So the president of Madam Secretary just executed without trial, per drone, an American citizen without the show even recognizing that the killing was extra judicial. Gross.

Sir Kodiak posted:Wait, so is it bad, or is it like Showgirls? I saw the first episode and parts of it are good, it's well shot and they cast actual dancers and all, but there are some really cliched bits (the ballet director is the classic high-strung gay martinet who gets in a tizzy about no champagne at the fundraiser and seems to dramatically pose for every line) and the ending points to potential trainwreck status.

Just from watching the pilot, it's basically Showgirls: the tv How is that even possible? Spartacus and Black Sails had big period sets, 100s of extras, stunts and CGI while this is just skinny girls in rooms. I watched 3 episodes and I'm entertained by it. I'm not saying it's good, the characters are caricatures, cliches stuffed with even more cliches. Nothing even remotely surprising happens in the episodes I've seen but yet I'm amused by the poo poo they decided to go with like the ballerinas working at the strip club. I wonder if Starz made them put that in to fill their boobs quota.

They at least shot the first strip club dance in an interesting way, but yeah I think that was an issue. Though I was also amused by them filling it by having an absolutely emaciated ballerina nude in the locker room asking for spare tampons. Like, the least sexy way to put gratuitous nudity on your show.

I think the really irritating thing about this "Time Warner considering delaying streaming rights" thing is that they specifically singled out the superhero shows on the CW. He should talk to Mark Pedowitz about the channel's business model.
