EVA Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Speaking of Peter Pan Live, what is with NBC doing these live performances lately? I remember the one last year with Carrie Underwood being weird too. I mean, I kinda like it because it's such a throwback to the early days of television, but it also tells me that NBC has zero faith in their regular lineup. The Carrie Underwood thing was a huge ratings success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It looks like they made an computer animated Brian Williams, made him 30 years younger, then made him look like a girl playing Peter Pan. That is now how I'll always look at Allison Williams. I'll only see her dad, but animated to look younger and female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 They introduced some new characters in season 2 that everyone HAAAAAAATES, and it's gotten to the point that my friend who was trying to convince everyone to watch has started an apology tour. Pretty much they went from fun MOTW with minor mythology building to MYTHARC PLOT HAMMER I'll take that bold thing over that other thing anyday. Not that I've watched that show because it's on Fox, and I don't watch Fox genre shows until they hit season 3 or 4. Though we are watching Gotham so I don't know what that says about me past that I'm a hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It goes off they ails pretty badly in season 2. Fuck. Really? Any reason why? Different producer and writers, or just no clear direction beyond season 1? From what I gather, season 1 continues to be very strong and ends well. Thus far, each episode I've watched has been better than the first. So season 2 is a big drop off? If you finished Peter Pan Live, you have an amazing force of will and I'm frightened of you. I would not fight you for money. It was so fucking weird. I like Peter Pan. I like Allison Williams. I like Christopher Walken. HOLY SHIT. I do not like Christopher Walken as Captain Hook. Holy shit was so much about that strange. I don't recall feeling like this when I watched the Sandy Duncan one as a kid, but then again, I was a kid. I mean, I thought bologna was the pinnacle of lunch meats. Clearly my views during that time shouldn't be trusted. I liked this half for relevant content, half for sharing both my childhood and adult views on bologna. I turned off Peter Pan after the CROCODILE SUIT made an appearance. There was absolutely no chance that was being topped, it was time to go. Most of what I saw was basically what I imagine Shigeru Miyamoto having nightmares about the world of the Teletubbies would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Smarkie Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 The only new characters are the new Captain and that one guy that deals in artifacts and what not. I thoroughly enjoyed this season so far with my favorite episode being the most recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 i DVR'ed it. I was busy flipping back and forth between football and the cheesy disaster that was The Librarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I was kind of looking forward to Librarians since I liked Leverage so much. Was it that bad? Didn't do much for me. The writing didn't do much to make the new characters likable and much of the show looked really cheap. My general impression was that it was Warehouse 13 done without a budget. The couple fight scenes looked laughable. I think it'd play better if Noah Wylie was going to be front and center, but he's only appearing occasionally. I don't really think Rebecca Romijn is a strong enough presence to anchor a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'm going to guess that I was the only one that watched the disaster that was The Newsroom last night. I saw it. Was mainly just disappointed Kevin Rankin was stuck playing another racist criminal character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor that plays him seems to only show up in David Fincher films since One Tree Hill ended. EDIT: Nevermind, I guess he already appeared.

Yeah all the episodes are good to great and worth watching. Looks like 3 old episodes will re-air on Sunday from 4:30 to 6:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
