I dunno I think the real shame is that they cut the Sophia character from series regular to only guesting on the holiday specials. I guess the actress is trying to break into film but we all know how well that usually works out. When The Actuary flops she'll come crawling back.

The only movie you need ("need") to have seen for Shield is Cap 2. e: I guess there's a Thor tie-in too but Thor is somehow more boring than Superman.

Sophia posted:Someone name a TV show where they liked its ending and also genuinely liked the show (i.e. the ending can't be liked because it was simply put out of its misery like a dying dog). Both good Stargates, Breaking Bad, Avatar TLA, Seinfeld (not as much at the time), Colbert Report, Space Above and Beyond, Futurama pre-revival, Terriers, The Shield, The Wire.

Sober posted:Well Joe is not wrong that some shows should just learn to end it on a good note and let them sail off into the sunset. Maybe close a few things off but I much prefer shows that know they should end on "and they had more adventures after this", although to be fair that's what most shows that get canceled end up having to do anyway.

Ravane posted:Everyone speaks "English" because they all hail from Caprica originally. There are languages aside from English, like the Tauron language of Gangstaspeak. Sci-fi shows everyone speaks english because it's tv and nobody wants to read fuckin' subtitles of some made up bullshit language outside of a few weirdos who taught themselves klingon or tolkien's finnish/elvish or whatever. They could technically say the word gently caress, or air hardcore gay scat horse porn, as far as the law has any control over cable, but instead they make silly fake swear words, which has gone on forever, so why is this even a discussion?

Looks like a crappy GoT metoo instead of a weird alternate history/modern day mashup like Kings was. Man Kings was good. The lead was not so great, but Ian McShane and Creepy as gently caress Adult Macually Culkin(sp? the home alone kid) were amazing.

Sophia posted:Ravane is correct. NCIS is deeply stupid but it is competent in a way that people don't always appreciate. When you watch an episode of that show, you aren't sitting there going "well I wonder if they're going to gently caress this episode up" because they don't. Every episode is an almost identical level of quality. Whether or not you like what's in the package is personal taste, but it's not the roller coaster ride that more ambitious shows have. It's actually pretty remarkable, really, that they're still churning them out after all this time. I like NCIS. Yes it's dumb, when it comes to computers it has roughly the level of comprehension I expect from a 90 year old, and Gibbs is magic, but these things are all net positives if you actually like the show. That said, Sophia is basically right, it's just a scary competent show that rarely stumbles. It's also got pretty well realized characters for a procedural, and the cast has genuine chemistry, both of these aspects I feel it really excels at. My biggest problem with it are the occasional hideously saccharine RAH RAH SUPPORT ARE TROUPES episodes but it's kind of to be expected. It's like the Applebees of tv. You can do better, you'll be hungry an hour later, but it's easy, good enough, and you know exactly what you're going to get every time. Incidentally, house buying/selling shows are the Arbys of tv.

Yes, that exists, idiots buy crap at flea markets, glue poo poo to it, and sell it to other idiots at a flea market. That show was my entire xmas day. It is worse than Arby's.

Well poo poo, MI5 has been in my queue for awhile, guess I need to get on that this week. Also seriously unhappy to see Top Gear's catalog get dropped. If anything I'd want them to add the various other country versions (even US is alright after they found their own voice).
