Chaos Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I've been watching the new version of Battlestar Galactica on Netflix since it expires on October 1st. Got through the first season and it's not bad. I'm a big fan of Edward James Olmos and he's been great in it. Not a big fan of the lady that plays the president or Starbuck. I thought Starbuck was Kate Mckinnon from SNL before I looked it up. The whole Cylon thing reminds me of the Borg. Season 2 started off good so I"ll keep watching. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to do the same thing before it expires.
Curt McGirt Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Now that my man with the Netflix is back from tour it's time for me, him, his girl, and any stragglers we can raise to have a full-on Crazy Liquor And Cheeseburger Party for the new TPB season. I'm getting the Swish and the store-bought meat ready, time for a marathon! 1
Chaos Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Well, that last episode of the Leftovers was God awful. Pretty sure I swerve on that second season. I think part of my enjoyment of the Leftovers is the polarity it insights in people. I have really enjoyed this season. There have been some clunkers, but the good episodes of TV have been fantastic episodes of TV. I really enjoyed the messiness of last night. It built perfectly to what we saw in the last 20 minutes, which was just brilliantly shot chaos and the first sense of hope that this series has given the viewers. Also, the scene with Nora early into the episode was powerful, heartbreaking stuff.
Joe Lucia Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Agreed on The Leftovers. It started off very, very slow, but out of the last five or six episodes, I think I only didn't like one. Might have been good to see the ninth episode earlier in the season, but where it was, it explained a lot of what we already saw during the season.
J.T. Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 The novels are bleak and rather uneven. I think The Leftovers would benefit from the Dexter plan, where the writers of the show just use the premise and go on their own tangent. If Dexter: The Series had been faithful to the novels, it would've been a horrible show.
Curt McGirt Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 TPB = Trailer Park Boys Jeez, Johnny posted about it just like three posts above mine which is why I made that reference-addled post. I would like to see Total Pawnbillies and especially Turbo Power Bangers though...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 What's the deal with Sepinwall and Carrie Coon? He's coming on a little strong...
Cole Miner Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I hate this show Ink Master. This one contest has them picking a tattoo that their rival has to do. So of course they are picking something they aren't good at. Intentionally giving people bad tattoos essentially. I don't see how the participants can come out of it looking well. I'll have to skim through some older seasons to see. They anti-specialization attitude is ridiculous as well. Looking at the last season they had a lot of specialists as judges. Will just have to check out those episodes see if they keep that attitude.
muhammedboehm Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I always assumed either the people getting the tats sign a waver that they understand that because it's a competitive show they might not get the greatest tat and if the tats not competed the show will complete it off screen.
J.T. Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Oh shit, Graceland. Why do you mess with my heart?
Greggulator Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Gilmore Girls coming to Netflix in October. GET THEM HANDZ UP. 2
Reed Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Boardwalk Empire's problem is that it keeps killing off most of the interesting characters.
Reed Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Never realized how absurdly gorgeous young Martha Stewart was. 1
piranesi Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 That cow is suggesting you get your fucking eyes off his lady. And something about that picture tells me that Christopher Lee is waiting in there somewhere to wicker-man you. All in all, that just screams "trap." 2
Joe Lucia Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I ran through The Blacklist this week since friends recommended it and it just popped up on Netflix. Man...it's sad that this passes for a good network drama nowadays. Got to be just a little too formulaic as the season went on, and it seemed like they were just throwing twists out there because dammit, they could. The finale was also a complete and utter mess. Yet because fall TV looks terrible, I'm probably going to be sticking around for season two.
Reed Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Hot young Martha Stewart will lure you in...then art and craft you to death. 2
piranesi Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 The weird thing is no matter how hot she was and how long ago that was ...SHE'S STILL WEARING THAT SAME FUCKING BLUE OXFORD SHIRT!! WHAT THE FUCKK!!/???That's crazy, that was like 30 years ago!
Reed Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Can we talk more about Galavant? It looks different, which is welcome considering the state of network TV these days.
