Because TVIV voted Better Call Saul so highly, I just wanted to ask if it's really necessary to watch Breaking Bad to know what the gently caress is happening on it? There's just so much to catch up on...

I wonder how the tech billionaire aspect is going to play into Ichabod's lack of understanding in certain aspects of modern technology... nope. Nope. Not going down that route. I refuse to be swindled into watching the show then hating it again three episodes in.

 I started watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I've been missing out on so much. "Settle For Me," made me crack up.Edit: "I Give Good Parent" is perfect and I wish I had known it before the holidays. Pan Dulce fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Jan 8, 2017 |

It happened to a version of Vixen, albeit recast. I just want a show to round out the "DC superhero power hour every day" for Friday. Constantine would have fit the bill perfectly.

I think it's certain circles, sane ones in any case. People at conventions freaking love Sherlock and hate Elementary for being the "paler, American imitation." The halls are lined with slash artwork of Sherlock and Watson.

Just finished season 1 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Holy poo poo, now I know why it ranked so high in the TVIV list. It was a wild ride and I'm so glad I have this season to catch up with. Had it ended the way it did Season 1, I would have been so pissed. Suck it cancellation bear, CW kept this poo poo going.

Josh Lyman posted:14 minutes into Riverdale. Archie is... a player? If you're talking about him never sticking to one girl, it's standard procedure with him. He's been with all of 'em, every female character, except Moose's girlfriend, but I think she's not going to exist, given how they're shaping up that storyline. Also, Grundy... jeez. Long way from someone who looks like Olive Oyl's grandmother. Her sleeping with Archie is hosed up though. He was max 14-15.

Ever have a supporting actor on a tv show leave because they think they can do better on another show as lead? Do either shows, the show they were on previously or the one they get into next ever succeed? Closest I can think of is Tom Ellis leaving Once Upon a Time even though his character was going to get full-time supporting to do Lucifer.

Netflix got new CW titles fairly quickly this time around. I caught up with No Tomorrow and holy poo poo, that finale! It's perfect: you know they went there with the show's underlying premise, as unlikely as that could be, but left things so every character got an ending that could be more, but stands well alone. If it doesn't get a renewal (which is almost virtually impossible on the CW), it still was a great season and a good ending.

Rocksicles posted:Stop reading it the day after the season finished. This. The thread was pretty good throughout the show and didn't get hella introspective and goon-y until after the show finished. X-O posted:Legion was good but I can't imagine it will last. It seems to be way too weird to find an audience. Being on FX may be the only thing that saves it. FX keeps stuff that has terrible ratings because they have faith in a lot of what they invest in, even if Nielsen viewers could give less of a poo poo. Besides, this feels like it was an ending mapped out and needs a certain minimum amount of episodes to complete it. Pan Dulce fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Speaking of which, having to do a rewatch to get caught up to the new bits sucks if the show itself is garbage at the beginning. I suffered through Arrow season one, but had someone swear after season 3 it got better. So I sat through everything and guess what? It hadn't gotten better.

Escobarbarian posted:That's because superhero shows are bad (except for Legion, which I have to call a superhero show otherwise Senerio gets upset) Incorrect. Comic book shows can be very good. DC has been a poo poo show, but Supergirl is legitimately good and its Vertigo title, iZombie is amazing (barring the unfortunate name). As for Marvel, Agent Carter went too soon and was great. Plus, if you get past the first half of the season, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gets good QUICK. ...not to mention Jessica Jones got top accolades in the TVIV the year it was out, but people tend to get salty about that in hindsight.

There's potential and the casting sounds interesting, but the fact that it's from the people that did Gossip Girl and The O.C. makes me wonder about the quality. But I'm still going to watch it; it may be good. The screenwriter for Twilight wrote Jessica Jones for Netflix and I liked it.

Just reminds me that Snow White and Prince Charming, Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, fell in love on the set of Once Upon a Time and are married with two kids now while still playing those characters. Also reminds me that Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter fell in love on Dexter while playing brother and sister. Weird.

bull3964 posted:Legion really feels like a show that should be released all at once. Week by week is really working against its pace. I feel like there should be this steadily climbing feeling of dread and panic, but a week between episodes is really stunting the momentum. I disagree. I find myself watching and missing out on things the first viewing. So I watch it again sometime later. There's references and little bits going on in the background that have you saying, "Ooooh, so THAT'S what happened." You wouldn't get that by straight bingeing. I like that you get a week to wonder what else is going on.

I think that era just fed into poo poo like that. I was looking back at other tv shows to watch and came up with some more: Daria, Freakazoid, Hey Arnold!, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Tick, and King of the Hill. Also, watching Batman: The Animated Series in conjunction with listening to the podcast the Arkham Session is gold.

precision posted:I've never actually seen Mulan, and it's on Hulu. What makes it good? Mulan's awesome. It's end of the Disney Renaissance stuff that's good. The music bits are the best: I still can't go without singing along to "Make A Man Outta You" when the movie plays. The humor's there, the poignant bits do get sad, and it's one of the starting Disney films where the "princess" isn't a lovelorn woman.

TV Zombie posted:Looked on the CW website and apparently Episode 2 of Riverdale isn't available there. That should be something that CW would be on top of, right?..Unless there isn't an Episode 2? They only keep the last 5, a la CBS, and thus they phase the earliest ones out. I'm thinking it's popular enough that it doesn't need to keep and play them all like Supergirl had to on CW for awhile to gain recognition on the network.

I think it's because they keep dicking them around about a renewal. Every year at least one of the actors (Fillion does this the most, but so has Glau) or Whedon himself hint it might happen. It's bullshit. Say it's over and pull what everyone seems to be doing and relaunching Hawaii 5.0, Beverly Hills 90210, and upcoming Charmed and Cruel Intentions. Apparently some tv executives hinted at a Buffy renewal ages ago and got a ton of fan backlash, leading to it being quashed.
