Television General Discussion

15minutes into sense8 already hating it, why do people keep giving them money??

Edit: Strapons, we have strapons. Okay that was too much

Now its turned into some LGBT ad, this show is super corny :expressionless:

What should be getting talked about is American Ninja Warrior.

The Warped Wall has become free as shit this season.

Because their are warrior gyms everywhere now. Two of my boys are on this season both flip for the Celtics, one of them just went vital for doing a double backflip into a pair of pants.

Yeah. So far in Qualifiers, EVERYONE who has reached the Warped Wall has completed it. And only one person needed more than one attempt to do so.

If this trend keeps up they’re going to have to put in the actual Stage 1 Warped Wall into qualifiers as it’s no longer the Gatekeeper. Right now it’s the obstacle before the Warped Wall that’s the gatekeeper.

I’m back getting caught up on Hemlock Grove season 2 slowly but surly… holy shit man, episode 6… needles going right into someone’s EYES, folks. I dare you to try feeling perfectly comfortable watching that situation play out.

*CW app on Xbox Live— what’s the deal? These assholes have removed the entire point of even having that app on an Xbox. I went to it a few days ago to watch The Flash and Vampire/Originals finales again (because I love the shows that much…The Flash season 1 finale is one of the best season finales I’ve ever seen.) and noticed you CAN’T watch the shows on there. They’ve removed ALL the shows from that app, so what the hell is the point? Why would anyone use the app if you can’t watch shows on there like before?

Hannibal: ā€œAre you observing, or participating?ā€

Yes.
Especially if you feel the urge to replicate the dishes he prepares.

Part of the reason I watch the show/series is for the culinary stuffs that are featured.
Jose Andres probably hella excited watching the take for whatever culinary scene is being filmed at the time, while the other chef adviser (that is listed in the credits) is prepping/executing the dish off-screen, or whatever, prior to the scene/take.

Bedelia wasn’t ready.

yup

THE STRAIN…season 2 is almost here… the wait for this has been aggravating… I need this show back in my life asap. I’ve actually tried to find the books locally but no luck so far.

*edit–once this is back on and thus the After-Show (from thestream.tv) I watch is back, I’m hoping they don’t have that guy ā€œJohnny the Gay Pimpā€ on there for another season…he just ends up being being annoying every time.

Sense8 is pretty terrible couldn’t make it past the first episode.

I fell in love with House of Lies and binge watched all 4 seasons in a matter of two weeks or so. Entertaining dramedy with solid writing. Don Chedle and Kristen Bell have great chemistry…now i wait for s5…

I know some hated Gotham and despised Fish Mooney, but I felt she gradually became an entertaining character compared to the earlier episodes where she was just sitting around, plotting on how to overthrow Falcone. If anything, I believe some of the fans gave her too much hell.

I will own up to that, whilst she was locked up in that mansion I did like her character a whole lot more.

so degrassi is going netflix apparently…odd show to try and save. but then again i guess netflix doesnt have much geared towards the teens crowd.

Third ANW Qualifier. Warped Wall still hasn’t eliminated anyone.

Kacy Catanzaro is out for the time being…not that it matters as they’ll just give her a Wild Card subverting how they usually only give them to people who make City Finals.

The only parts that bugged me about her arc in the mansion was that we never saw what happened in the end of Episode 14 when she and the mercenary charged for each other. Come Episode 15, she’s shown waking up, groggy, and evidently cold (we don’t know if she either won the fight or got her ass kicked). A couple of guys show up with the intentions to rape her and she somehow scares them off with an unconvincing threat. I’d rather see her actually fight them despite the size difference just to prove she’s more than just a schemer, though the finale proved that she can fight. Hell, she can even stand after scooping out her own eye and pilot a chopper with a bullet wound to the stomach.

The Strain Season 1 Thoughts SPOILERS

Im always the last guy ever to watch something, but I thought I’d try it since Million seemed into it.

Its funny that I like the show, but it has a lot of dumb moments and im quite surprised at the gore.

Random stuff:

This is one of the few vampire media that makes it really disgusting to be a vampire, unlike the sort of mysterious, sensual like Bram Stoker style vampires.

I liked the semi scientific/ medical angle they initially went with. and the mixing of that with traditional ā€œdemonic/supernaturalā€ elements.

There are a lot of elements swiped from other media- the old guy who wants to be turned for immortality, Blade 2 style vampire design, the wise old man slayer. Abraham Van Helsing
err Sertrakian, a main leader called the Master (There was an old vampire called the Master in Buffy Season 1, 17 yrs ago)

–I cant understand 50% of the dialogue of Fet, the rat exterminator. Is it his acting or can he not enunciate properly?

–With the exception of the pilot , the French girl, Ansel, and Gus, I really dont have that much sympathy for most of the characters.

The really stupid decision in the last episode of Eph’s kid to fake asthma just to get a picture album!
Couldnt they just steal some albuterol from a pharmacy somewhere?
I want to decapitate that kid myself!

I dont care about the blonde British character one way or another. Does every show in America have to have a token Brit (no offense Furious One)

–The Masters design/makeup. It looks like a clown trying to cosplay as a vampire. With the exception of MK Annihilation,I rarely get bothered by special effects.
They should have just kept him in the cloak. What you dont see can sometimes be scarier.

–when Eph drinks a shot in the end, I was thinking, Peter Russo has returned!

–Nora is hot. When they slept together, she had some booty I was surprised.

–Im going to hell for saying this, but I dont feel bad that Kelly got turned.
Listen beyotch, If my husband is a CDC epidemiologist,physician , tells me to GTO of NYC, I do it.
So hes a alcoholic. He went to AA ,hoe. Hes trying to improve.
also, she got her Sears bf to move in with them before the child custody battle was settled, and then disrespects him saying "hes a guest"
Girl, his dick is in yo pussy; Hes the man of the house.

–Do female vampires lose the TITTAYS and pussy after being turned?

–eldritch palmer lol. Should have just named him ā€œAncient Palmerā€

– I love the actor playing Eichhorst. He looks like he could be the quintessential Nazi in my mind.

–Im intrigued by the Ancients/ sentient vamp recruiting Gus plotline.

Im still interested for Season 2.

Hannibal: ā€œNow that you know me… See me.ā€ (WITNESS ME)

Yeah, I also think they should’ve kept the face of ā€œThe Masterā€ under cloak/hood so that you never actually see it… then the character is that much more imposing and terrifying…it’s kind of a common knowledge thing at this point that horror done right should incorporate the natural ā€œfear of the unknownā€. Anyone seeing a 9 or 10-foot tall humanoid thing in a cloak with super speed and strength would most likely shit themselves immediately while running away, wondering "who/what the hell IS that thing?!.

-yep, Nora is the real hotness on the show.

-I still think it’s funny that ā€œBrenda from 227ā€ Regina King just ran off and that was the last we will probably ever see of that character.


Bitten–I finally started watching this. Right out of the gate the show starts off CORRECTLY with a shot of the incredible Laura Vandervoort’s (that PRIME White Meatā„¢, lawd have mercy) fine little ass riding some dude…and she almost goes Wolf Modeā„¢ while in the throws of passion. On just the 2nd episode we get to see some guy get his heart literally ripped out. Sheeeit, this show is definitely alright with me.

Anyone already managed to binge watch the whole of the new season of Orange is the New Black? How is it this season compared to 1 and 2?

I’m actually about to binge watch the entire series now, since my friend offered to let me use his Netflix account, though if anything I’m only going to watch about two shows.
