Television General Discussion

I will make sure to watch the following.

SPARTACUS returns this friday!!!

IGN posted a good article about superhero television shows and why they seem to fail. Really interesting read that makes a lot of valid points.

For Canadians, Mr. Dee is back for a second season. I think it is 3 episodes in. I just watch through On Demand and it is still pretty funny so far.

Daaaaaamn Last Resorts finale was the shit, I’m sad there won’t a season two.

Didn’t really feel it from Spartacus.

Was it a cliffhanger or did the tie things up? Tempted to watch the season on Hulu, but not if it’s a cliffhanger.

JJ Abrams just had two pilots greenlit - both sound pretty awesome:

I’m really excited for the second - seems really similar to Marvel’s last Cable book where he was protecting Hope in the future.

it tied things up.

The Americans debuts this Wednesday! IGN interviewed Keri Russell:

I trust fx’s track record with dramas so I’ll give the Americans a shot.

So a new pilot was just approved for a remake of “The Tomorrow People” - which seems a lot like Heroes. I’m intrigued… and still pissed Heroes went in the drain after S1.

did anyone else watch all of BSG:BaC? Finally watched all of it yesterday…

Spoiler

I definitely like the idea of exploring prototypes of Cylon bio-engineering, although the proto-6 was maybe too ambitious. Neat idea but I hope that isn’t something they reference frequently if this show gets picked up as a series, which I hope it does. I imagine it would follow standard military drama format but I think it could explore some cool themes of nationalism, the publics’ view of militarism, etc. We’re living in an age where we are using robots to fight wars for us so this shit is fuckin more relevant than ever!

I actually still have to watch that. So much good stuff on TV right now. Probably wait until things slow down.

On the “Girl Meets World” front, Cory and Topanga’s daughter has been cast:

Need to add - The Following is just good tv. If you’re not watching and aren’t squeamish - watch it.

Oh Emma…

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! :woot:

Anyone watch “The Americans” , on FX this past Wednesday?
I missedit due to being out of town. Was it any good?

I have it on my DVR. Need to watch that and the first handful of episodes of Continuum. I heard really good things about The Americans though. It was trending in the US during it’s airing, so that’s a good sign.

Southland coming back YESsssSSSSSsSSSSSSSSsSSsSSS

Continuum (whole season) was pretty good.

Looking forward to community and walking dead coming back.

i really enjoyed the first episode of the americans. love the 80’s soundtrack. spartacus is picking up and is so awesome. suits so awesome. didn’t care for second episode of the following though.
