Television General Discussion

i mean not enough to last us for next week lol.

It has Christian Slater. It’ll be on for YEARS.

Just saw the Mr. Robot pilot…good stuff.

Idk how to embed a video but the heroes reborn teaser trailer came out recently and tbh if they said it was ging to be a remake why bring back certain (shitty) characters :confused: I stopped watching after maybe season 3? I dont really know what really happens later on but I think they spent too much time dragging out some thing but some of the more intersting characters (a girl that can physically copy literally anything she sees getting 2 eps vs sylar fucking around somewhere for the 10000th time -___-)

It was cool when it was the only superhero type show around but now the markets flooded with them

Hiiiiirrrrrooooo!!! LOL, this show was THE shit back then, got boring by the 4th season onward. hopefully, this can be better this time around. sylar was mean as fuck at the start but then again he came out lol

To each their own, but this show jumped the shark in season 2, easily, and season 3 was out of this world garbage. It was equal to season 1 strain, which is some of the worst tv ever. Season 1 heroes in hindsight, was fairly stupid too, and poorly written.

Heroes is definitely not worth even having nostalgia goggles for. I’m a sucka for superhero shows, but that series was so out of control stupid. lol

lmfao…how you gonna leave your girlfriend in the future then go back to the past and change it. #heroslogic

The wasted potential was tragic…so many problems with that show…but I’m cautiously optimistic, mainly because I like having as much superhuman/supernatural stuff on as I can get. Realism tends to be boring trash, imo… bring on the superheroes, supervillains, ghosts, demons, vampires and werewolves, aliens, robots, time-traveling, alternate dimensions… all of that stuff is delicious to me…fantasy is way more interesting and entertaining than reality ever will be, imo.

Hopefully they get it right with Heroes this time… I’m already wondering if there will be another person on there that can steal other powers and is thus inherently overpowered as hell again… I also enjoyed the concept of ā€œThe Haitianā€'s ability to cancel out super-human abilities.

*sidenote—it just randomly hit me— all 6 or 7 people that watch Beauty & the Beast should get caught up if you still give a shit about that show since it is apparently on the list of shows that Netflix is cutting loose in July. (*and hardly anything on the line-up of new stuff looks appealing to me… Netflix needs to step up their game, man.)
*Oh and it’s still surprising to me that CW is bringing it back… that show’s numbers were starting to dip in the most recent season (Season 2, if I recall?)…then they had it off or ā€œon hiatusā€ for what seemed like a few centuries…and suddenly they decided to bring it back. Well, at least this means we get more Kristin Kreuk’s cuteness on screen, along with that woman that plays her friend/partner. Speaking of Heroes, ā€œMohinderā€ happens to be on this show as well.

Back to the future 2 logic more like…

I get what you meant there. Tons of aimless wandering with the plot and a lot of foreshadowing retarded shit that only got partially resolved and/or outright unanswered.

With the quality of newer shows in the superhero genre needing to step up to AOS/ Agent Carter levels of coherence (at least), Heroes Reborn needs to be there to hang with the rest of them.

?? explain

same thing happened in back to the future 2 when marty and the doc left jennifer on the porch (she fainted) after her seeing her future self. They went back in time to stop old/young biff and get the almanac back.

hahaha i totally dont remember that.

Yea but Jennifer woke up on the porch in the correct 1985, ole dumb ass Petreli wrote his girl out of existence and didn’t even care, shit he seemed to completely forget about her after she was initially taken lol.

Well, since TV is kind of dead to me at the moment, I started watching Vampire Diaries season 1 again…first time I’ve seen it since it was new…quite a few things I forgot even happened…heh, Tyler was seeming like he might rape Vicki (or Nikki?) Donovan for a moment until Jeremy intervened… back then, Tyler was being portrayed as an asshole jock stereotype, basically… also, Jeremy was a scrawny, druggy loser back then…it’s hilarious shit, man. Also, ā€œAunt Jennaā€ was still there, and Caroline actually seemed interested in Steffan before Elena even noticed him…interesting considering what’s been going on in the most recent season.

Also, Damon was a much more threatening character at the time…like he was actually the villain of the show, causing trouble. One interesting thing they apparently dropped— Damon somehow caused the fog and the crows flying around…implying the vamps had some other magical powers (magic conjuration or illusions?) there… sadly I don’t think this was ever brought up again. Quite a bit has changed on this show since those early days. Ooooh and I just remembered Tyler’s mom was still on at the time— that woman was such PRIME cougar material right there.

One thing that is always kind of unbelievable on shows and movies with vampires—the fact that people find out and don’t immediately want to become that… I’d bet money that if such creatures were real, people would be willing to give up entire life savings to get turned. Vamps would be making serious money on the whole thing as a result, and the world would eventually become mostly populated with them…which would probably lead eventually to overcrowding once you have entire nations of people that happen to be immortal.

whats up with mr robot…just one episode then they will air more or something?? that was good but christian slater is wrong. F and Q train don’t run on the same line/station. I live 1 stop away from there. and you don’t HAVE to take the Q train to coney island…F goes there so didn’t even have to get off the train.

I wouldn’t even call it a fuck up. Got to avoid getting tailed you know.

Every Wednesday at 10PM EST

Checked out Ballers today. While it won’t set the world on fire, I was somewhat entertained

The show isn’t quite sure of its identity yet, but The Rock is carrying it on his back with his sheer charisma

I’ll still around cause I’m a Rock mark, but hopefully it gets the ball rolling in a good way soon so I can have more reasons to invest

its basically football with the entourage vibe. entourage didnt set the world on fire either at first…it took it a gooood min for people to catch on.
