Television General Discussion

[Saitsu]

I stopped watching Dexter at season 3. And you all are giving me no motivation to finish it lol

Thats the idea!

Exactly. You’ll thank us.

[Don_Barracuda]

I hate Ray Donovan’s wife more than Skyler White.

I’m liking Houdini more and more, I’m a sucker for magic (being I’m black that might not be a surprise).

The Strain, they can’t write child or female characters for shit. Child can barely act but they still give him plenty of screen time. Hacker chick playing the damsel in distress, hard exterior but she’s fragile, she was pouting hard this episode, we can all see where this is going, just have sex already.

Ef’s wife

Spoiler

so she got 1 of those worms in her, is that all it takes to become a ‘chosen one’, everyone that has turned into a zombie vampire seems to have had their body’s overridden with worms

MasterChef

winner

[details=Spoiler]Glad Courtney won, even though she was extremely lucky that Leslie can’t tell the difference between sugar and salt

lol Elizabeth’s husband fainting seemed so staged

lol at Elizabeth saying “Courtney deserves it” being dubbed in so obviously :lol:
[/details]

Apparently Courtney has nudes online, I hope her little brother never google image searches her name

[Million]

THE STRAIN–yeah, it’s interesting to see the angle going on with Kelly the Wife. I’m assuming she will be one of the chosen, more sophisticated ones since Master met with her personally. It was also cool to see how the vamps see the world…they apparently have some special, enhanced vision that shows the nervous system, heart, blood, etc. of living things.

Kelly was also looking quite hot in this episode… but still not hotter than Eph’s other girl Nora. Mia Maestro is serious business, folks. That little booty-jiggle from the previous episode, and the visual of her pants getting taken off so suddenly… still on my mind.

[Million]

Dancing with the Stars– Emma is another hot one…she’s dancing with what I guess is a NASCAR guy…? I’m assuming since they had a “pro racer” outfit theme for their first dance.

Janel and her dance partner Val whatever his name–yeah, these 2 have already hooked up. There has only been 1 episode aired and it’s already quite apparent that dude is hitting that currently. This was an easy one too, since they definitely appear to be extremely attracted to each other. It must be quite nice to be a fly on the wall when they have some alone time… on tonight’s episode, they can already be seen kissing each other right on the lips, saying “I love you” and all that jazz. What a life…it must be so good to be him right now…

Janel is from Pretty Little Liars, by the way… that show may have just gained a new fan. ABCFam has a great track record of having deliciously hot young girls on their shows; I just got away from watching that network completely in recent years, ever since they gave up on having any kind of quality Saturday morning animated lineup, and certain other things I’ve forgotten about at the moment went away as well. Yes… Janel is indeed THAT hot that she might just be worth watching a show that would otherwise not hold my interest.

*Smokie Robinson is on performing right now… dude just looks peculiar now… like how some people have that strange look to them when they’ve died and have been “prepared” and made presentable for viewing at the funeral home.

American Ninja Warrior - USA vs. the world.

Normally I don’t watch this show but it was on so why not. I only caught a glimpse of it - stage 3 or whatever where no one ever finished it in the past on US soil…and like 3+ guys finish it. First Japanese guy was patient and thought out each step pretty well - pretty emotional - everyone was rooting for him since it had never been done before on American soil. Then crazy rock climber from Italy(?) sped through with crazy wingspan. Then another Japanese guy did some anime flying shit it was nuts.

Then crazy rock climber from Italy(?) sped through with crazy wingspan. Then another Japanese guy did some anime flying shit it was nuts.

Alright, let me talk about it more as I just finished watching it. I’ll say the spoilerific stuff later.

There are three teams for this one. USA, Japan and then Europe. Europe is kind of crazy because they only had 2 people who had actually been on a Ninja Warrior run and then they had champion rock climbers. Format was much different too. 3 heats for each stage, each heat giving the amount of points as an entire stage from last year. If a tie happened after Stage 3, it goes to Stage 4. Now the spoilers.

[details=Spoiler]Japan got shut out. Even with not one but TWO finishes on Stage 3, they could not win a heat because they happened to get beat on said Stage 3 runs in faster times. Other than Stage 3 though they completely washed out again. One of their guys couldn’t even finish the freaking Warped Wall.

Stage 1’s record time was broken twice. Once by Joe Moravsky and then it got broken by a European who damn near went sub-1 minute. It was ridiculous. Stage 2 was ridiculous in its own right.

Stage 3 was crazy. Four freaking finishers. 2 Japanese, who unfortunately for them did it too slow. One European, and then Brian Arnold did it for the US. Another European made it to the Flying Bar as well. Every single person who made it to the Ultimate Cliffhanger beat it. They better hope that the ANW makers don’t decide to be douchey and change it to the fucking Sasuke Crazy Cliffhanger. They’ll be wishing they had the Ultimate Cliffhanger back. Main thing to note was due to how things went, the US and Europe was TIED. Thus…Stage 4.

Stage 4, a 77 Foot Rope Climb. That’s taller than Sasuke (66 foot). Rosen vs Scholl. Both finished in a time that would’ve completed Total Victory. Scholl ends up winning by .3 seconds because Rosen whiffed the buzzer on his first attempt to press it.

Europe wins the competition…yeah, the team that had no one ever make it past Stage 1 and only had 2 competitors who ever even competed in NW before. World Champion Rock Climbers man. They dominate those late stages. If Rock Climbers could find consistent success to make it to Stage 3…whew…gives me the willies. But that’s the issue. Those early stages wipe out the Rock Climbers before they can make it to their grillhouse.[/details]

I highly suggest anyone with even a PASSING interest in ANW or Sasuke in general to watch this event. Certainly much better than last year’s.

[BigDewey]

So I was watching Franklin and Bash, and realized they had a damn Journeyman reunion between Kevin McKidd and Reed Diamond.

Sighs Damn that show had so much promise (and Moon Bloodgood in her prime).

[Don_Barracuda]

Person of Interest, Sleepy Hollow, Agents of Shield are back :woo:

[dn3000]

Dat sleepy hollow!

[BigDewey]

Saw Shield and PoI, missed Sons of Anarchy…

Sighs So much good shit for Fall coming up…

The Strain

Heading into the season finale, I wonder how it’s all gonna play out. I’m just glad the bad guys are finally making their move, oh and the master is still one ugly-ass bastard.

[Don_Barracuda]

The master looks hilarious, I’m waiting for some to just call him the ugliest mofo on the planet, and start making ugly jokes.

Final season of The NewsRoom trailer

Really sad that this isn’t getting more seasons, one of HBO’s best shows

[Million]

There’s already too much stuff for me to keep up with everything… I’m on board with Sleepy Hollow, Dancing with the Stars, Teen Wolf (though I’ve missed several episodes yet again), Gotham and The Strain… but now my older shows are coming back with new episodes–> Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals… and then on top of that ya got The Flash! There’s also “Beauty & the Beast”, though I doubt it has much of a future, really… then there’s the miscellaneous shit I enjoy watching, like Dr. Drew on HLN, which annoyingly has a prime spot at 8 pm every night (obviously that’s in the way of sooo many things…and they stopped repeating it later at night…now the channel just puts Forensic Files repeats on from 9pm going forward.)… and this isn’t even counting the stuff I already have lined up on Netflix.

*sadly, I’m guessing “Friend Zone” is now a thing of the past on MTV… I haven’t seen or heard of it in a long time.

I think television is better than it has ever been…but now the problem is that there’s actually too much stuff to really keep up with… not enough time to watch all of it, unless you’re already retired, or you are a kid with the luxury of having summer vacations and all that jazz.

wtf why arent they doing more season!?!

[Million]

The line-up over at CW’s Saturday morning section was stale… but at least it was something… now it’s all over:

This Is the First Weekend in America With No Saturday Morning Cartoons

The only thing at this point I suppose is really Nickelodeon, for TMNT. CN doesn’t really count for much anymore since they murdered their own Saturday morning line-up quite a while ago. (*I still suspect they were actually sabotaged with a mole several years ago, and he’s been working his “magic” of killing them from the inside out ever since.)

cartoon network and nick are the last bastions of cartoon heaven.

The Vampire Diaries - The CW

Gracepoint - Fox

(from FOX’s press release, May 2014) When a young boy is found dead on an idyllic beach, a major police investigation gets underway in the small California seaside town where the tragedy occurred. Soon deemed a homicide, the case sparks a media frenzy, which throws the boy’s family into further turmoil and upends the lives of all of the town’s residents. Welcome to GRACEPOINT, a new 10-episode mystery event series based on “Broadchurch,” the U.K.'s critically acclaimed hit crime drama. GRACEPOINT is an expansion of the original series, introducing new characters, identifying new suspects and threading new storylines through the gripping narrative. Leading the investigation is Detective EMMETT CARVER (David Tennant, “Broadchurch,” “Dr. Who”), who has just arrived in Gracepoint to fill a high position in the town’s police force. That job previously had been promised to Detective ELLIE MILLER (Emmy Award winner Anna Gunn, “Breaking Bad”), who, in light of the tragedy, must put any resentment aside and work the case with her prickly new boss. Det. Miller must break the news to her doting husband, JOE (Josh Hamilton, “American Horror Story”) and her son, TOM (newcomer Jack Irvine), who was the best friend of the murder victim, DANNY SOLANO (Nikolas Filipovic, “Falling Skies”). Danny is survived by his grieving parents, MARK (Michael Peña, “End of Watch”) and BETH SOLANO (Virginia Kull, “Boardwalk Empire”), and his rebellious older sister, CHLOE (newcomer Madalyn Horcher), who has an older boyfriend, DEAN IVERSON (Kendrick Sampson, “The Vampire Diaries”), unbeknownst to her parents. All of Gracepoint is pulled into the investigation, including JACK REINHOLD (Emmy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Nick Nolte, “Luck”), a private man who runs the kayak rental service on the beach, as well as the local wildlife observation program, for which Danny volunteered. SUSAN WRIGHT (Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominee Jacki Weaver, “Silver Linings Playbook”), a mysterious woman, lives in the RV park near the coast, with her dog. The town’s minister, PAUL COATES (Kevin Rankin, “Justified”), becomes the de facto spokesperson for the community as the media descends on Gracepoint. Danny’s death also impacts tourism, with the decline in visitors felt most harshly by hotel owner GEMMA FISHER (Sarah-Jane Potts, “Kinky Boots,”), a vivacious Brit with secrets of her own. Also touched by Danny’s death is Mark’s apprentice at his plumbing company, VINCE NOVIK (Stephen Louis Grush, “Lucky 7”). The investigation is followed closely by the town’s local newspaper reporter, OWEN BURKE (Kevin Zegers, “Transamerica”), who is Det. Miller’s nephew. Owen’s ambition is fueled by San Francisco Globe reporter RENEE CLEMONS (Jessica Lucas, “Cloverfield”), who has a history with Detective Carver and sets up camp in Gracepoint to cover the case. The riveting crime series carves a powerfully dark wake through the town of Gracepoint with a startling conclusion, as the detectives piece together what happened on the night of Danny’s death.

Bad Judge - NBC

(from NBC’s press release, May 2014) No excuses, no apologies, no compromises. Wild child Rebecca Wright (Kate Walsh, “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice”) knows how to have a good time, but she also happens to be one of L.A.'s toughest and most respected criminal court judges. She has a reputation for unorthodox behavior in the courtroom, including creative rulings and saying exactly what’s on her mind. Her private life, on the other hand, is anything but innocent. She parties too much and rocks out on the drums in a band with her best friend, Jenny. While there’s no shortage of male admirers who would love to spend time with her, she’s not ready to settle down… except when an 8-year-old boy - whose parents were put in jail by Rebecca - needs her help. He may, in fact, be the one thing that starts to tame this “bad” judge.

A to Z - NBC

This is the A-to-Z story of Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) - a pair that almost wasn’t - and all that happened from the day they met. When a computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she’s asked to come in for an interview at the internet dating site where Andrew works, and this is where it all begins. Andrew and Zelda meet for the first time and despite their differences, sparks fly. She thinks it’s chance. He thinks it’s fate and is convinced she’s the shimmering girl in the silver dress he saw several years earlier. Also starring are Henry Zebrowski, Lenora Crichlow, Christina Kirk, Hong Chau, Parvesh Cheena and Katey Sagal as the Narrator.

Before long, it’s revealed that Liv’s “second sight” - an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences - is a threat to a mysterious new evil that’s rising in the shadows. Now it’s not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong.

Top Chef: Duels
Dale vs. Tiffani
How you gonna say you got this/your own challenge (Dale), then almost fuck things up, to the point of narrowly winning?
Vegan challenges are usually interesting, however. Especially when you consider the pedigree of a chef that isn’t versed in the cooking style.

Jennifer vs. Nyesha
Despite her record in ‘bacon & eggs’ challenges, I wouldn’t mind if Jennifer prepared such a meal for me, lol.
Great duel challenge and contrast of styles between the two challengers, though.

Stephanie vs. Kristen
WTF… Really?!
Despite the ‘closeness’ of judging, did people not see the disaster of the eventual duel winner’s dessert course (sinful) and realize the overall impact it could have on the entire meal offering (especially considering the duel theme), even with the earlier presented two courses (the second course being a highlight round winner for the duel winner).
I can somewhat forgive the over-emphasis on flavor stuffs versus technique, but I tend to favor technique, though.
This needs a rematch, IMO.

Art vs. Kevin
Southern folks likely appreciated this episode, particularly in the tense of old school vs. new school.
I’d like to see Kevin vs. Hung in a protein breakdown challenge. If you’ve followed TC over the years, one should recall the speed in which Hung broke down three chickens (IIRC) into parts during a relay challenge.

The Knockout - Finals
Welp, shit…
Interesting format, where winners make it into the final round and compete for the opportunity to re-enter the main competition at the TC: Duels finale

Considering the two favorites as picked by Wolfgang, it’s like picking the lesser of two evils.
Official winner will appear on TC: Duels finale show.

random culinary theme: US chefs cooking SE Asian food stuffs

All in all, my picks went on to win the duels, for the most part, with only two one major upset(s).

random musings:
You’re The Worst was a fun show to watch.

ANW: USA vs the World (Japan and Europe) was an alright watch.
If ‘the World’ is the tagline, the ‘scale’ of the competition needs to be larger; needs more global teams to participate, versus being an invitational of sorts. But that will only happen if the competition goes global, overall.

Stage 3 stuffs, were WTFLOL, considering the stigma.

Props to Team Europe though.
