Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
Lately I've been watching and getting into shows like Person Of Interest and Intelligence, I've come to dig 'em a lot! Anybody else a fan of these?
Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
I don't watch either but I've heard really good things about Person of Interest, but not so good things about Intelligence.Decay wrote:Lately I've been watching and getting into shows like Person Of Interest and Intelligence, I've come to dig 'em a lot! Anybody else a fan of these?

True Detective really is terrific at the moment. The newest episode ended with a six minute long.. one-take.. tracking shot that was just incredibly intense and suspenseful. Whilst the show is only four episodes in it has definitely softened the blow of Breaking Bad's absence. McConaughey, Nic Pizzolatto and Cary Joji Fukunuga are going to win awards for this - for acting, writing and directing respectively. Great television

Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
Does anyone on here watch "House of Cards"? That's a damn good show!
Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
I just finished Twin Peaks. Season one is possibly some of the best TV ever. Season 2 was harder work.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Has anybody seen the latest episode of The Walking Dead? It was such an excellent episode.

Re: DAMN YOU, MADS!
Hannibal last night was insane, and it looks like it's going to be even crazier next week. I don't want to wait for the next episode though, I'm too hyped!
Re: DAMN YOU, MADS!
Hate to make the wait even tougher for you... but something pretty major is going to happen next week. Sadly, I had something spoiled for me - can't wait to see the episode thoughInconquerable wrote:Hannibal last night was insane, and it looks like it's going to be even crazier next week.

Re: WHAT ABOUT WILL, DR. BLOOM?!
It's going to be crazy I'm sure. The preview at the end of last night's episode seemed kind of spoiler-y but it was all so fast that it was hard to really pick apart. If Alana Bloom sleeps with Hannibal though… =#Dan Dando wrote:Hate to make the wait even tougher for you... but something pretty major is going to happen next week.

My favorite show is having it's 4th season finale today. It'll be missed until October. Anyone else here watch it?

Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
Ahh, I actually stopped watching it mid-way through season three. I was struggling with it to be honest. For me, my main issue with The Walking Dead is that it's a television show with no end-game in sight. I think every story has to have something to build towards, a conclusion - and the people in charge of the show have no interest in that. It's just always going to be a band of people trying to survive in a dangerous world, and every season... there will be people who fail to survive. Sanctuary is found, and then that sanctuary falls, and then whoever has survived decides to move on and try again. Rinse and repeat, that's all it's ever going to be... and so far the characters haven't been interesting enough for me to say... "Yeah, okay, I'm invested in you. I'm going to keep watching to see how you turn out." - There was only a couple of truly good characters when I stopped watching (Carol being one of them) but that simply wasn't enough really.SHEAKENBAKEN wrote:My favorite show is having it's 4th season finale today.

I mean, not long ago the AMC CEO said that he thinks the show will still be on ten years from now, and long story short, I don't have interest in a cash-cow that AMC won't ever let go.
Negativity aside, I've actually heard that this season has been pretty decent and an improvement on the last couple of seasons. So, if you enjoy it, then that's cool

Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
I know the show isn't everyone's cup of tea, and the formula for the show (and the comics which it's based off of) is kind of repetitive (like you point out) "and all it's every going to be" as you said. But i'm okay with that. I think a show like this is very interesting because you see how a world like this changes people, what those people end of having to do to survive, or not survive, the choices they make, etc. It's not just a show about killing zombies, it's a show about how people survive in a world like that. It makes me wonder about the choices I might make in a zombies apocalypse and I think that adds to the value as well. Sure I love seeing walker after walker get mowed down or devour redshirts and characters i'm invested in but it irks me when people complain there's too much character development, too much talking, too much drama, too much stupidity for some characters, etc, but that's what makes the show. If all it was was "kill zombies for 45 minutes" every episode it'd be over by season 1.Dan Dando wrote:Ahh, I actually stopped watching it mid-way through season three.

Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
I know there's a sizeable portion of The Walking Dead fan-base who just watch the show for the gory zombie deaths, but I'm glad you're not one of those people, man. No one should ever complain about too much character development, you can never have enough character development - so, good on you there for feeling like that, man.SHEAKENBAKEN wrote:I know the show isn't everyone's cup of tea, and the formula for the show (and the comics which it's based off of) is kind of repetitive (like you point out) "and all it's every going to be" as you said.

P.S. Your reasons for liking and watching the show sound perfectly fine to me. I suppose there's no right or wrong formula when it comes to television, and whilst I'm not really a big fan of shows like The Walking Dead where the show isn't about where the characters are going and more about where they are - I'm totally not suggesting that there is no value in the way that The Walking Dead operates. It's just, different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
Yeah well you can't satisfy everyone no matter how hard you try. Hell I don't even know if the show will still be watchable for me even a season or two down the line but right now I have no issues.Dan Dando wrote:I know there's a sizeable portion of The Walking Dead fan-base who just watch the show for the gory zombie deaths, but I'm glad you're not one of those people, man.

Am I the only one who wasn't disappointed with the finale of How I Met Your Mother (besides the fact that it was rushed)?

Re: The Official ''Favorite TV Show'' Thread
I was not disappointed (other than it being rushed, of course). I thought it was a beautiful ending, and that scene with Barney and blank (spoiler for anyone who hasn't watched it) was absolutely precious.
