Guy Mann posted:Did you ever see the Christmas special that came out between season 2 and the Netflix seasons? Because I think a lot of my dislike of this season was because so many of the episodes they put out felt like retreads of the ideas they used in that episode only without anything that really justified or was improved by redoing them and especially stretching them out to full episode length. hell, half of White Christmas was a loving retread of episodes prior to that

HorseRenoir posted:It sucks that American Gods is currently self-destructing, but I don't know what Bryan Fuller was expecting when he asked for a larger budget. The show was insanely expensive to make as-is and the current budget wasn't enough for him? Netflix seems to bankroll plenty of shitawful animated shows, so they probably would have backed it.

I definitely remember ads for a place called New Beginnings when I was a kid, which featured a montage of people saying "I'm X, and I'm an alcoholic" so you're at least partially right. This was in MD though, I don't know if those ads were nationwide. Either way, that's a weird loving name for a bar.

TIL that actually listening to someone you're hooking up with when they say no or push you away rather than fish-hooking their mouth and jamming your dick into their face makes you a "mind reader" wow so rational, so measured also loving lmao if you think that is the first time that has happened with him lelandjs posted:Oh for fucks sake. Aziz didn’t need to read her mind to realize that the woman in question didn’t want to have sex with him then and there. If a woman is telling you things like “next time” and not reciprocating kissing, those are very obvious statements that they’re not interested in fooling around. Is that the same one he winds up accidentally killing later because his aim with a gun is so terrible?

Vegetable posted:Also I've been watching random episodes of Black Mirror. San Junipero is boring as poo poo and also really poorly directed and written. I guess I don't understand. San Junipero's popularity IMO stems from a combination of not being as poo poo as the rest of that season and trading on the '80s / '90s nostalgia that most of its viewers undoubtedly have.

I liked Person of Interest, even the parts of season 1 that everyone else seems to hate, up until Taraji P. Henson's character died and it disappeared up its own rear end with the terribad dueling AIs plot over the last two seasons. Season 3 could have been a decent ending point where our heroes venture forth into an unknown oppressive future, because there really wasn't any way they could have done that dynamic shift in a satisfying way. (That's not to say they couldn't have done it better than they did, though.) But I guess I'm unique 'round these parts because I don't descend into a frothing rage over procedurals or multi-cam shows. Escobarbarian posted:the thing with PoI is that even when it supposedly gets good all i've read about it is like "THE GOOD COMPUTER VERSUS THE EVIL COMPUTER AND ALSO THE COMPUTERS CAN TALK" and it just sounds goofy as poo poo It is exactly as goofy as it sounds. quote:oh and "THEY GET A DOG" which who cares but on the other hand, go to hell raditts fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jan 18, 2018 |

I'm not sure which show you're talking about, but it's only been in the last 15 years or so that TV channels didn't regularly run reruns of old shows. Like, who didn't grow up in the 90s and watch Gilligan's Island or I Dream of Jeannie on summer afternoons Ugly In The Morning posted:Somewhere there is a portrait of Wayans aging in his place. He could probably still manage to play someone in their late 20s convincingly.

lelandjs posted:I generally agree, but one specific exception for me is X-Files. I've always maintained that the best episodes of the X-Files are the MotW ones. The plot arc is straight garbage, always has been. Supernatural as well. It has some great one-off / MOTW episodes, but ever since the show continued past the original five-season arc, they've been struggling for almost a decade to raise the stakes past "the literal end-of-times apocalypse" and it's almost invariably been poo poo. (Coincidentally, the two shows have shared some actors / writers.) I think plot arcs have their place, specifically in stories that have been fully planned out in advance or else it's almost always a disaster, and MOTWs have their place for short self-contained stories involving the same characters encountering a variety of enemies / situations. It doesn't need to be all one or the other, and either one can be superior to the other depending on the circumstances and the writing. raditts fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jan 23, 2018 |

Are there that many anthology shows? The only one I can think of off the top of my head besides Black Mirror and Electric Dreams, which are both pretty mediocre, is Inside No. 9, which I just found out about a few weeks ago and is pretty great from the few episodes I've seen so far.

Escobarbarian posted:so to clarify, the argument here is "TVIV turns on every show in its third season because the show with the worst fanbase ever had idiots complain about the quality even though it was the best one yet"? Yeah, his hurp durp goon stereotyping doesn't even make sense in the case of DC shows, because those usually get the best reception in season 1 when the show is fresh and they have a lot of ideas to draw from before it settles into a groove. Person of Interest is one example of a show where the goon consensus seems to be that season 3 is the best of the run.

From what I've seen in the internet wilderness, when it comes to Rick and Morty people seem to obsess over a) chicken nugget meme sauce b) how brilliant Rick is and how much they want to be like Rick, which is somehow missing the point of a show that is about as subtle as a ton of bricks
