So I've been addicted lately to the How Did This Get Made podcast, which is Andre and Rafi from The League plus Andre's IRL wife and great guest stars. It's amazing, Jason Mantzoukas is apparently pretty much in-Rafi-mode 24/7. e: my go to "trashy reality show" on Netflix is My Strange Addiction. The episode with the guy who fucks his car

I loved Lost at the time and liked the finale just fine. I also have never really had any desire to talk about it after it was over. "It's done."

Yeah I'll actually make a thread for Rectify season 2 here in a day or two. A lot of people in the CD Netflix thread got into the show so hopefully more people will watch it this year. e: Oh yeah there's a trailer. Probably don't watch unless you watched season 1 though: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/05/22/rectify-season-2-trailer/

The only thing I'm kind of torn on with Rectify season 2 is bringing back a certain character, considering he had the most perfect exit imaginable in season 1. I'm of course referring to the black fellow death row inmate in the flashbacks in season 1. On the one hand more of those is awesome, on the other hand it cheapens what felt like a complete arc and I'm not really sure the flashbacks needed to continue into season 2 at all.

I honestly like some of those designs (the Joker and Harley are great). Half of them, I can't even tell who they're supposed to be. Like, which one is Catwoman? The goth girl?  e: ahaha, just "got" The Scarecrow, that's great. The Riddler is perfect too. poo poo, I think I want this show now.

Blue Mountain State is pretty great. It's on Netflix. It's basically Friday Night Lights: raunchy/smart sitcom edition. Anyone who skipped it like I did because it looked like a dumb jock "Football is awesome" comedy should give it a shot.

For better or worse, the (seemingly very spoilery) preview for season 2 looks like things are going to get pretty crazy and not be very slow at all. Of course, it could be typical network misleading promo #1,009,238. At least there are 10 episodes instead of 6 this year so we should get quite a bit more progression in the overall story as well.

IRQ posted:RE: shows with time jumps, keep your dicks in your pants for GoT. It was supposed to have a time skip, but then didn't, and went totally to poo poo, literal poo poo, like the actual real meaning of literal. We'll see if the show follows. Laugh out loud at anyone who thinks HBO would let their biggest moneymaker become hot garbage out of the artistic integrity of staying true to the source material. They can and will rewrite giant swaths of the story to prevent it from becoming terrible, because show watchers outnumber book readers like the Wildlings outnumber the Night's Watch.

The producers mentioned they might nix the entire "Lady Stoneheart" character completely. That character is the only thing I've been spoiled about (that hasn't already happened) and I have to say, just from the very little I know, it sounds loving retarded.

Great pilot, not so great followup, still eminently watchable if you're into the subject matter 2. Funny stuff, nothing amazing 3.

Yoshifan823 posted:Also, it's really worth it because despite the reality show's general nature, there have been a bunch of great comics to come out of LCS: Todd Glass, Doug Benson, Amy Schumer, Josh Blue, and in the previous season Myq Kaplan, Mike DeStefano (rip), James Adomian and Tommy Johnagin all competed. Guy Braunam was apparently auditioning, but they didn't take him, which is weird because A: He's famous-ish and B: He's funny. I had no clue Amy Schumer and Doug Benson started on LCS. I only watched the first two seasons, and then the one with Josh Blue, who is not, in fact, funny at all. I don't think he is anyway.

Rectify is a really good show you guys. Last night's season 2 premiere made me think very good things are coming and season 1 wasn't just a fluke. Ray McKinnon is a hell of a writer.

Hey guys, Wilfred season 3 just got added to Netflix. If you haven't watched the show, what's wrong with you? It's Elijah Wood getting stoned with an Australian man in a dog suit and a David Lynch level exploration of philosophy at the same time. Get on it, jerks.

True Blood has been consistently entertaining for its entire run so far. I haven't watched this season's premiere yet but it seems kind of silly to me to say it was ever good and that it "went to poo poo". If anything, the more campy and ridiculous it got, the better, imo. Someone really ought to make a thread.

OK, well I had to look up Taxi Brooklyn and it's based on Luc Besson's excellent film Taxi, and the series was made and has been airing in France (getting great ratings) so... I think it probably actually will be in fact awesome. Why a French series was made in English and with American actors, I dunno.

American Gods may be Gaiman's weakest novel but the show should be fun enough to watch. And at least the novel's existence got us to Anansi Boys, which is just a fun read. e: to be clear, I love Neil Gaiman, but I tried to re-read AG one time and I was like "ehhhhhh" and I am a crazy person who has re-read Stephenson's Baroque Cycle twice

...of SCIENCE! posted:Reading Good Omens is funny because you can almost perfectly tell which characters are Gaiman's and which are Pratchett's because Pratchett's characters have a sense of humor and nuance to them while Gaiman's horsemen are all super cool and badass and evil and totally boring. I'd say Crowley and Anathema show evidence of being both at the same time. Those are the two whose storylines seem so obviously mixed between both writers more or less equally.
