EVA Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I don't feel like PENNY DREADFUL is worth giving another episode. That show has no fucking clue what it is, on any level. Total mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 It's basically LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMAN meets AMERICAN HORROR STORY. They're just throwing every classical horror character they can get their hands on at the wall and hoping it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've been rewatching some stuff on Netflix and even though I haven't watched the entire episodes yet, these beginning bits were hilarious: Parkour: And the fire drill: http://vimeo.com/11938283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I feel like the fire episode is the one time I could not buy that Dwight would not have lost his job and probably arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 True but by that point the series had given up any semblance of reality and become a live action cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I still think this season of Orphan Black is the best thing on TV right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think that once you get past Allison whose character is genius and gets every single great scene and just how good Tatiana Maslany is, the show is just okay. I don't find most of the characters particularly compelling and some, like Felix is hugely grating (though he works really well paired with Allison because her stuff is just that great). It's a show with a very good actress, a pretty good gimmick, one amazing stand out character, and Matt Frewer chewing the scenery. I do think it's fairly well paced in that it's always moving despite being serialized, but it's not the best show on TV. It's some pretty really good candy with some legitimately great elements.

Lawful Metal Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Orphan Black makes me say "Damn!" at least once a week. That's bad ass. There's a good central mystery, and the pace is breakneck. All the characters seem real, and of course, the acting is off the charts. And Felix is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The season premier of ORPHAN BLACK was electric, but I've found myself liking the subesequent episodes less and less. What I enjoy most about the show is seeing the clones play off each other, but the thrust of this season has been more in the direction of isolating them from each other. And I just find that less fun. And, boy, I couldn't give a fuck less about the Prolethians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 STALKER stars Maggie Q and Golden Globe Award winner Dylan McDermott in a psychological thriller about detectives who investigate stalking incidents – including voyeurism, cyber harassment and romantic fixation – for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD. Det. Jack Larsen (McDermott) is a recent transfer to the Unit from New York City’s homicide division, whose confidence, strong personality and questionable behavior has landed him in trouble before – but whose past behavior may also prove valuable in his new job. His boss, Lt. Beth Davis (Maggie Q), is strong, focused and an expert in the field, driven by her traumatic personal experience as a victim. With the rest of their team, young but eager Det. Ben Caldwell (Victor Rasuk) and deceptively smart Det. Janice Lawrence (Mariana Klaveno), Larsen and Davis assess the threat level of cases and respond before the stalking and intimidation spirals out of control, all while trying to keep their personal obsessions at bay. Kevin Williamson (“Scream”) is the executive producer for Warner Bros. Television. ” I bet he has also has a drinking problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Biggest net positive of 2 1/2 Men ending is I won't have my Mom explaining new episodes to me scene by scene when I tell her I don't watch it. Now if they can get rid of Grey's Anatomy and Drop Dead Diva I can visit home more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Didn't watch it yet (I'm well behind), but I did catch the last scene. I assume I should know who that character is, but I don't. Anyone want to spoilerlize the cliffhanger for me? Elsa, The Snow Queen from Frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/05/15/cw-2014-15-primetime-schedule-the-flash-and-supernatural-lead-tuesday-the-originals-moves-to-monday-izombie-beauty-and-the-beast-held-for-midseason/264624/ 9:00-10:00 P.M. “JANE THE VIRGIN”When Jane Villanueva was a young girl, her grandmother, Alba, convinced her of two things: telenovelas are the highest form of entertainment, and women must protect their virginity at all costs. Now age 23, Jane is a driven young woman studying to become a teacher, nursing a dream to be a writer, and supporting herself with a job at a hot new Miami hotel. All the years of watching telenovelas with the two women who raised her – her sexy, young-at-heart mother, Xiomara, and her still-devout grandmother, Alba – have given Jane a slightly unrealistic view of romance. Still, she is determined not to make the same mistake her mother made – becoming an unwed mother at 16. Jane has managed to find a wonderful fiancé: a handsome, hard-working detective named Michael, who loves her enough to accept her detailed timeline for their future together and even her insistence on “saving herself” until they’re married. All of Jane’s meticulous life plans are turned upside down, however, when she sees her doctor for a routine check-up and is accidentally artificially inseminated with a specimen meant for the patient in the next room. Unbeknownst to her, the specimen belongs to Rafael, a reformed playboy and cancer survivor, who is not only the new owner of the hotel where Jane works but also a former summer crush of hers. A few weeks later, the unsuspecting Jane is faced with the most important decisions of her life. Will she continue with the pregnancy? How can she explain the situation to her fiancé and family? And what should she do about the wishes of the biological father, Rafael, and his scheming wife Petra? Though she has always tried to be the good girl who does the right thing, Jane’s life has suddenly become as dramatic and complicated as the telenovelas she has always loved. Um, so if it's a routine check up....why doesn't she say anything when the doctor tries to artifically inseminate her? But on the bright side, the massive settlement she gets from the malpractice lawsuit should make her Jane the Virgin...and Multi-Millionaire.

Antacular Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I like how it's not even that she's in her early 20s and just hasn't found a guy she's comfortable enough to be intimate with, but considers her virginity needing "protection at all costs." For the SEMENIAL doctor scene, she better be wearing a chasity padlock a la Robin Hood: Men in Tights just so it's completely over the top.

Reed Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJLsrWW0HPo I've only seen her for like 10 seconds, and I'm already prepared to say the grandmother is TV's greatest villain. 1) Creepily brainwashes her grandchild from a young age that her virginity is the most important thing in the whole wide world, leading to dysfunction for her in later life. 2) Encourages/pressures her to continue with a pregnancy brought about by possibly the most ridiculous circumstances ever.

Antacular Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 She's told not to have sex unless it's for procreation, procreates without sex yet still refuses to engage in sex after said procreation. /sociallyakwardpenguinmeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
