Reed Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 You know, Rihanna as Marion Crane on Bates Motel seems like one of those ideas that is just so batshit it could actually work. I like the deliberate nod to the stunt casting of the original film. But hopefully she's learned to act since Battleship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Lethal Weapon is still my favorite TV show that's currently airing, and goddamn that last scene of the most recent episode. Gutpunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what that show is, but I'm going to go ahead and say for the record, I don't give a fuck if Rihanna can act or not, Rihanna's presence on my television is always a positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yep, last night's episode of The Expanse and the previous week's are the first chapters of Caliban's War. I'm not sure what I marked for more: more Bobbie Draper sightings or Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo aka Tali's Aunt aka Laskshmi-2 of the Future War Cult) finally using a curse word since she has the mouth of a sailor in the novels.

I usually leave my tv on in the background and it's usually on NBC, so I've seen bits and pieces of this show. It seems like manipulative glurge. I guess it's a cool new thing to humblebrag about being an emotional dude with things like, "oh man it got dusty in here" and shit but still, I don't get it. Not a personal attack on you, Brian.

Matt D Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't think it's all that bad. Up until now, all of the worst stuff has been either telegraphed or ultimately inconsequential (granted, I'm an episode behind). The big thing about it, success-wise, is that it's relatable by so many people due to the way they cross-cut generations. I do think that they're doomed for season 2 because a show like this tends to have the first season arc pretty carefully mapped out and then becomes a victim of its own success. There are just too many moving parts and they're burning through too much of it too soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKevFan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 20 years ago Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered "Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So at lunch a little bit ago, someone asked me if I prefer Elementary or Sherlock. I'm generally not too passionate about TV shows (they're, y'know, television shows), but next thing I knew, it was 1:00 and lunch was over and I'd been on my soapbox ranting about both shows. Lol. And my co-worker was looking at me like I was a nut, Uh, it's a sore topic with me. I don't love the good seasons of Sherlock nearly as much as most people and generally think both shows are big underachievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 People like This Is Us, legitimately, and you sum it all up because you have this weird idea that you think guys watch it so they can "humblebrag about being an emotional dude". Seriously, what's wrong with you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Been watching The Detour. I watched an episode the other night(The Tub) might be the funniest and most disturbing thing I've seen in a while. Started watching Boardwalk Empire from the beginning and currently at the tail end of season three. Very good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
