Oh drat, that's awful to hear about her mom I just watched the season 2 trailer where it touches a bit on her struggle with cancer. Gonna have to catch up to this.

It's really dependent on the reviewer, and they can be pretty long-winded and up their own asses sometimes. The community is insufferable also, the comments are just a mess of inside jokes referencing each other. I'd rather they didn't even assign letter grades as a large portion of the comments is just complaining about whether that episode deserves that grade or not, and blah blah why is a more critically regarded show rated lower, etc. The less popular shows actually have decent discussion because they're not so high trafficked. The Six Feet Under reviews are really well done if you're into the whole thematic analysis thing.

raditts posted:I definitely would not add 24 or Alias to any list of examples of "good" time jumps. Didn't Alias do it to distance itself from the previous season, because the previous season was just that bad? Alias's time jump actually happened after the best season of the show, and everything went downhill after the time jump.

Chris James 2 posted:I agree, but then the last two seasons happened. It was never good, but at least when it was bad it was funny. The last few years have just been bad bad and chores to watch, but as I said, might as well see it through to the end. Eh, the last season was actually one of the more entertaining ones in recent memory but it kind of fell apart in the end. TB is terrible with wrapping up plot lines. I... honestly didn't realize it started up again.

Bown posted:What's the worst drama of the past 5 years? I haven't seen Dexter but I'd have to put True Blood up there. The actual drama portion of the show is nothing more than a setpiece to get beautiful people to gently caress, kill, have gently caress dreams, and have backwards-head hate sex. It's gloriously campy and fun but pretty much fails in every way as a drama.

DoctorWhat posted:Just lazily screencapping this because to hell with doing all the formatting up here: He was a huge fan of Evangelion, a series that's basically a personality deconstruction of a severely depressed child thrown into all the big robot anime tropes but reacts appropriately by further retreating inwards instead of embracing the role of a hero.

Cael posted:I started to watch Vampire Diaries. Does it ever get to a point where it's not "Twilight: The Series" or should I stop watching now? Ep 5-6 it becomes an actual show. If you don't like it by then you probably won't at all. It doesn't really reach its full potential until the entirety of season 2 though which is when it turns into a crazy paced, plot chewing roller coaster.

Tuxedo Jack posted:Man, the O.C. got way good after Marissa died. I had never watched this far back when it was on TV, but Ryan is written completely different, and I'm really digging it. Also, Chris Pratt showed up, and Deputy Leo as a young Sandy Cohen. This show is great. Season 1 and Season 4 are the only parts worth watching. The middle seasons got really bogged down with Marissa drama, Bait Shop band of the week, and new characters being introduced that never really fit into the group dynamic.

Yoshifan823 posted:Mindy Project is actually not terrible so far this year. I didn't have to hear that godawful theme song, there was an entire scene about cunnilingus, and the 9PM EST Fox block has turned into a stealth Happy Endings reunion now that Damon Wayans Jr. and Adam Pally are in back-to-back shows. Little things. Please don't let the premiere be a fluke. I really want to like Mindy Project at this point. Kaling and Messina have a surprising amount of chemistry, and the side cast have settled into a nice comedic groove (props to Adam Pally who really gave a much needed breath of fresh air in Season 2) aside from Jeremy who I want to punch every time he shows up, and the episode acknowledged that by actually punching him.

Yeah Rory tends to get a little insufferable after season 3 when her tantrums basically consist of not being appreciative of all the great opportunities she has in life. Eh, still a great show with a fun recurring cast and Emily would consistently deliver the best burns. So Bunheads was good for the one season it was on? hope and vaseline fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 30, 2014 |

...of SCIENCE! posted:The Rambaldi stuff was the coolest poo poo in Alias, it sucks that they didn't make the focus of the show instead of wasting most eps pretending that Russia was a relevant superpower/threat in the post-9/11 world and coming up with a zillion excuses for Jennifer Garner to impersonate a sex worker. Hah, one of my favorite things about Nikita was the variety in her undercover missions. Not everything involved a wig and a seedy foreign club.

Irish Joe posted:Can someone confirm that Gilmore Girls is in HD on Netflix? It seems to be widescreen and a little better than DVD quality in season 1 at least which I'm going through and oh god I've missed this show. Apparently it's cropped. https://twitter.com/memles/statuses/517341752051511298 It still looks really good considering the last time I watched were with really bad vhs quality rips for the first three seasons. hope and vaseline fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Oct 4, 2014 |

Isn't the CW the only network showing consistent growth in the demos? It helps that they have a really strong brand and know what their viewers want, basically beautiful young actors in genre shows with strong prime time soap influences.

PantsBandit posted:Sometimes I wonder if anybody would even notice if Zoey Deschanel disappeared from the cast of New Girl. She's by far the weakest member of the cast. I'd agree with you on that in season 1 at least but past that she's been consistently funny and the writers play to her comedic strengths. She does physical comedy really well and it's been great to see her character grow into the stable one in the group. Not to mention her absolutely ridiculous chemistry with Jake Johnson whether they're in a relationship or not.

EL BROMANCE posted:The sub plot involves the lead female character being away, and one of the guys accidentally spilling a dark alcoholic drink over one of her possessions that he shouldn't be around, so his friends scramble to rectify the situation without her finding out. Am I talking about last nights New Girl, or last nights Mindy Project? Eh, they were both just a macguffin to push character development in different directions so I'm ok with it.
