Spatula City posted:I must then conclude goons generally have bad taste. I'm going to be generous and assume everybody who voted for Arrow and Flash are in their early 20s and thus don't know any better. It just doesn't make sense any other way (how could people who care enough about tv to post on a tv forum have such god awful taste!? It'd be like visiting New York City and eating at Papa John's)

Ravane posted:Twitter appeals to one's inner narcissism, it's a game of trying to get the most followers, while also avoiding going around begging for followers. The moment you think of how few followers you have, you lose. I have 21, gently caress. The sad part is that the younger generation is bringing their Twitter mentality to message boards. You used to post on message boards with the intent and expectation of having long-form conversations with other people. Nowadays, there's a large segment of posters who get downright offended if you reply to them with anything but unmitigated praise. Why the gently caress are you posting if you don't want people to read and reply to your messages? If you want to be the lonely king of poo poo mountain, go on Twitter where you can block out anything and anyone who upsets you.

STAC Goat posted:Rollercoaster back up. I can do four hours of it. Really, though, all you need to do is take a look at the guest stars to get really hyped for Galavant. Below the line for those who care: Ricky Gervais, Rutger Howard, Donald Glover and John Stamos.

hcreight posted:So I guess it's worth mentioning in here that Occupation and Zaggitz are hosting another Who livewatch today/tonight in the IRC for The Eleventh Hour aka Matt Smith's first full episode as The Doctor. It starts st 6PM EST/3PM PST/Go look up what time that is in your own time zone I'm not your damned butler. Was it? Was it really worth mentioning? Just kidding, but seriously it really isn't the kind of episode that lends itself to a fun live watch.

Before Amy and Rorie shat all over everything and Moffat went all ouroboros on his own rear end in a top hat? Occ hasn't seen all that yet. Yeah, so where's the comedy? Doing a live watch of a good show is like doing a Rifftrax of 12 Years a Slave. What do you say except "this is really good" or, as Occ would put it, "HAHAAJSHDFJNSI"

I have my reservations about both, but I can't outright hate tv shows that promote Christian theology. Lost by advocating the catholic afterlife and BSG by having angels and disproving Darwin's theory of evolution.

GreenNight posted:I've mentioned this in a few other places, but keep an eye out for the new show Dark Matter filming in Canada. It a new ship-based scifi show due out later in 2015. It starts filming in a few weeks. Yeah, but its made by the people behind Stargate and Lost Girl, so if you're expecting something on the level of BSG or Caprica, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

I wouldn't consider anything from the last few seasons of Quantum Leap "good," but the finale is an excellent example of how to construct a satisfying ending with no closure. I know the current generation has an immature need for everything to be wrapped up in a neat little package, but life is messy, and you don't always get the closure you want. When you break up with your girlfriend, she doesn't immediately die in a fiery car accident. The coworker you hated for years wasn't blown up in 9/11. And the president doesn't award you the Medal of Valor for posting a sick burn on Twitter. Sometimes 'and they kept doing what they've always done' is more realistic and more satisfying than any of the contrived finales people like to mention (Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, etc).

raditts posted:Can't we just call it a "good show" then like we always have instead of some stupid goddamn term some internet columnist poo poo out? Or, more accurately, "a show I like" because calling drek like Arrow and Sleepy Hollow "good shows" is just begging for an argument.

raditts posted:Have we all not figured out at this point that what people post about "good" and "bad" TV shows on the internet is a matter of opinion, or do we have to be on full-autist mode all the time? Being precise has nothing to do with autism. We should all, as a rule, strive to express ourselves as clearly as possible. Otherwise, what's the point of all this? Why are we communicating with one another if not to be understood? There is a very real distinction between "I like this" and "I think this is good" and, if you are able to recognize it, you should express it when you write and speak to others.

DaveWoo posted:Speaking of awkward interactions at the TCA... He's got a point, though. Its easy to dismiss a couple of cranks coming out of the woodwork to tear Cosby down decades after the alleged rapes occurred. When its over a dozen, some of whom are credible, it becomes harder to ignore. On top of that is the disturbing notion that a person can have his career and reputation ruined by unsubstantiated accusations over something that no one is in a position now, decades later, to prove or disprove. Does anyone really want to reward and encourage this kind of disgustingly reactionary mob rule? I certainly wouldn't if I were in Greenblatt's shoes.

raditts posted:So I'm 4 episodes in to Breaking Bad now... I don't know why I waited so long to watch this, probably because my wife actively does not want to watch it. Does it just get better from here, or are there any rough spots later on that I should be expecting? Season 2's payoff is dumb and season 3 kinda drags because its mainly set up for season 4. I'll repeat the advice I give everybody when it comes to Breaking Bad: Don't marathon it. Watch one or two episodes at a time. Pace it out. The show is loving slow, dire and bleak. You'll burn yourself out if you try to watch too much too quickly. Skyler's a huge nag and, though many would argue that's its justified, the fact remains, no one likes a nag. She eventually nags herself out by season 4 and becomes a cool and sympathetic character after that. So if she starts to wear on you, just keep reminding yourself, "it gets better."

GreenNight posted:Irish Joe's personal hero will be in Fargos 2nd season: I know you're joking, but I am unironically excited about this. Reagan was in his prime during the late 70s and I'd encourage anyone interested in American history and conservative thought to listen to his radio broadcasts from that period (search Reagan in His Own Voice: Ronald Reagan's Radio Addresses, available free from audible).
