Television General Discussion

The first couple seasons of dexter are really good with the exception of the jimmy smits season which is just ok. It peaks with lithgow season and then declines from there.

I highly recommend the shield if you havent watched that yet.

Iā€™m at season 2 right now. Dexter is a good show but itā€™s not as great to me in comparison to the 3 shows i mentioned (Supernatural, Walking dead, Game of thronesā€¦) when i just got into them. What iā€™m disliking a bit from Dexter is the flashbacksā€¦ i know they are significant but there is just one too many that wastes too much time for me.

There arenā€™t characters that i donā€™t hate yet. The show is just good but there hasnā€™t been too much yet that has gotten me at ā€œholy shit modeā€ yet.

Vampire Diaries, folksā€¦

cheh, Rebecca still desperately wants to be a regular olā€™ human. This kind of shit will forever seem silly to meā€¦ when an all-powerful, nearly indestructible vampire is all sad because they canā€™t be a normal humanā€¦get the hell out of here with that. Oh waaah Iā€™m one of the most powerful beings in the worldā€¦such a tough break there. Even amongst the vamps of the show, 'becca is in the top tier elite since she is one of the ā€œoriginal familyā€.

ā€¦such a fine piece of quality Aussie ass thoughā€¦ no other show currently on television has a line-up of gorgeous ass quite like this.

*for those that somehow missed out(?! if you enjoy super-hero stuff, WHY have you not yet seen Justice League? Such a person should be arrested and questioned by Jack Bauerā€¦heh, I could see The Bauerā„¢ flipping a table like ā€œWHY HAVE YOU NOT SEEN IT!?ā€), and have been living under a rock yet again to not hear the newsā€” Justice League/Justice League Unlimited are on Netflix now, along with Batman Brave and the Bold, and several other shows from CN.

Yeah, I like this showā€¦glad to see that theyā€™re willing to move away from the catch-a-serial-killer-every-week and having continuing storylines. Vibe of it seems heavily influenced by Michael Mannā€™s Manhunter take, Grahamā€™s characterization is spot on with the books and William Petersonā€™s weary take on him, has that droning constant music adding dread to everything. Show is setting up some deep shock implications on Lectorā€™s sideā€¦keeps cooking for everyone and just smiles when they compliment how good it tastes lol.

Wowā€¦ Nikita went to some really dark places.

Amanda is fucking nuts, but the crazy level is lot higher than anyone thought. And what Alex is going through is even more fucked up.

Thereā€™s so much death, destruction, and betrayal going on. Either someone needs to get shot, or just have someone hug them and tell them itā€™s going to be alright.

So iā€™m at S3 right now of Dexter. I completely hated his ass during season 2 and season 3 is just alrightā€¦ i donā€™t know. Itā€™s ranked high in allot of peoples list and itā€™s a great show indeed but this is the only show were i got some serious distaste for the protagonist and iā€™m honestly getting bored with S3 that iā€™m getting lazy finishā€¦

Iā€™ll likely try Nikita out since my friends raves about it.

lithgow season is season 4. at least get through that. i promise itā€™s worth it.

^Truth. Dexter has its up and down but S4 definitely brings it back with full force. Iā€™m patiently waiting for the new season to appear in Netflix.
Currently on S4 of Star Trek: NG. Itā€™s the best season so far imo; digging the episodes that follows up from previous seasons( i.e. La Forge mackinā€™ on the real warp drive designer, Dataā€™s dead gf-sister and meeting his creator etc).

iā€™m watching ā€œrectifyā€ on sundance channel after reading some pretty big hype about it ā€œbest new show of 2013ā€ among others. itā€™s about a guy who gets out of prison after 19 years for a rape/murder after dna evidence says the sperm wasnā€™t his. so he has a family that still loves him and its about him adjusting to life on the outside while dealing with a small town district attorney who is getting pressure from the senator to try him for the crime again. itā€™s only 6 episodes long and i iā€™ve seen 3 of them: the show is pretty good. like i watched the first one, then wanted to watch the second one and nothing blew me away about it but i found myself staying up late to watch the third one right after it. itā€™s pretty slow but itā€™s still pretty interesting.

season 2 of continuum started so i have to watch that. season 1 was pretty good plus itā€™s canadian. rachel nichols looks to have gotten that growth on her eye from season 1 removed.

episode 2 of davinciā€™s demons was pretty cool. cliffhanger revealed a map of a secret land that no oneā€™s ā€œdiscoveredā€ yet (but someone made a big map of itā€¦ [details=Spoiler]SOUTH AMERICA (20 Something years before Columbus!)[/details].
so iā€™m interested in seeing where they go with that. the gatling gun invention was pretty sweet too. it really reminds me of camelot which had some moments but looking back wasnā€™t very good. i still miss spartacus.

i started watching ā€œblack orphanā€ on bbc america but iā€™ve only seen 1 episode. iā€™ll post up some thoughts after i see a couple more.

i watch a lot of tv.

You guys have shitty taste in TV.

Season 3 is actually very good too imo, the later half that is. I guess i was sort of upset over the loss of the black guy cop (seriously, why are the black guys always taken out?) because i thought his character was cool. I have season 4 already and will go right to it once iā€™m done w/ s3.

aw manā€¦ so last night was apparently Stevie Wonder night on Dancing with the Stars! ā€¦and The Great One himself was actually there! That dude is a golden god of music, folksā€¦ and that fine little new hotness Zendaya was dancing to Do I Do, which is one of the greatest Stevie songsā€¦sheeit, itā€™s one of the best songs in popular music history, just generally speakingā€¦

greatness

ah yes, the lovely Ms. Raisman is still in there, along with Zendaya. Thereā€™s so much potential in that young one (Z) thereā€¦ she just needs to fill out a bit moreā€¦get some curves going on and she will be LEGENDARY.

*ah, Brookie looks much better tonightā€¦ still has toothpick legs though, which is most unfortunate.
*Short hairstyle on Kelly Picklerā€¦ itā€™s not quite a good look thereā€¦ I prefer her with longer hair.


Defiance-- Iā€™ve been watching that one (got the game too)ā€¦ the mayor is the same woman that was the super-speed wife in ā€œNo Ordinary Familyā€. I really hate that show being canceledā€¦ itā€™s understandable though since it was off to such a slow start. Oh and this reminds meā€¦ besides the woman playing the wife/mother, the daughter on there was quite the cute one. Hopefully she appears elsewhere and becomes famous again. She may have thoughā€¦ I havenā€™t done a search just yetā€¦

Yesā€¦and YES! Rewatching S1 eps on my tv instead of a crappy laptop made me appreciate the show more. But dat eye mole was hella distracting.

Defianceā€™s pilot was surprisingly decent. 2nd ep not so much. Best part was the hipster son having to hug his half naked mom lol.

The Americans is too good. Sucks that there are only 2 more episodes.

i love the americans. this last episode was sorta slow but i was still on edge the entire time which made me realize how awesome this show is. this and banshee are my 2 favorite new shows this season. banshee for just being badass (being on pay cable probably has a lot to do with it) and the americans for being badass but at the same time a really interesting story and awesome characters (although job from banshee is my favorite overall character on tv right now).

So iā€™m already at Dexter S4 EP8. It is good, you actually get aggravated due to the many opportunities Dexter had in nailing that Trinity guy. That Trinity guy is fucked up however i expect a bit more Joker-ish shit like causing the cops to go crazy and shit. I enjoyed S3 i thought the later half of S3 was awesome.

Apparently NBC arenā€™t going to air episode 4 of Hannibal due to the recent killings but the episode will air in countries outside of the US http://www.imdb.com/news/ni51668759/

aw hell yeah itā€™s another new episode of Vampire tonightā€¦ more Louisiana and Originals actionā€¦ this is apparently the test-run for ā€œThe Originalsā€ spin-off.

Duuuuuuuude Elijah just showed up and killed these 2 low-rank vampire chumps like it was nothingā€¦ the whole thing took about 3 or 4 seconds, and E didnā€™t even wrinkle the suit he had on. S-rank shit, folks.

slinks away quietly

Iā€™ve been wanting to watch the final season/episode of Dog whisperer (Iā€™m a fan of that guy, niggaā€¦) but i canā€™t find anything on it. The last episode is what iā€™m interested in because i saw only clips of him getting his hand bit.
