Midnight City posted:Yes. Heroes had the same problem as Lost, both its lead writers admitting they just started making it up as they went along and when you have a show like Heroes with so many super powers and a show like Lost where it's all about the mystery, that's probably the worst way you could ever go with them. I don't think that's the general opinion at all. The general opinion seems to be that the show kind of felt aimless for a while after the main storyline wrapped up but that they wrote themselves back into a really good place. Most people consider this last season to be one of the better ones they've done.

So now that the fans clearly have the eye of the writers and actors, how soon can we start a campaign for one episode to just be a day with Ichabod and Abbie at Six Flags?Orlando Jones posted:Ship name: Irvabod

I kind of want the Legend of Sleepy Hollow to exist in their universe, just to see Ichabod react to how Washington Irving described him.

Well, Washington Irving is a well known liar who inserted the belief that people thought the world was flat before Columbus into the popular consciousness.

pentyne posted:Supernatural was going to end on season 5, but was so popular they got a season six, but no guarantee for season 7 so they were more or less writing with the expectation that they might have to wrap up the show in a few episodes, same problem with season 7, but for season 8 it looks like the CW promised them up to season 10 so the writers can go back to writing season long plots that carry over. If I really really enjoyed seasons 1 through 5 but then dropped the show in disgust after season 6 (maybe part of season 7?) Where should I jump back in? Tail end of 7 or just hop into 8?

My roommate isn't a huge fan of the show because he thinks it's too cheesy and Abbie overacts too much. He was surprised it was renewed.

Lock him out of your guys' place because Nicole Beharie acts better than half the cast of SHIELD (Clark Gregson and Ming Na aside, they're cool). Not taking that back.

I'm finding this show pretty fun. I think they need to polish up the writing for their standalone monster-of-the-week episodes a little or keep up the pace and refuse to really settle into a status quo, because the way that crazy poo poo just kept on happening was definitely my favourite part of the first two episodes and the third episode lost a lot of that pace. If anything, this episode could've done with a B-plot to keep it interesting, maybe introduce a bit more of the good witch cult and show them finding a replacement for the dead priest. I'm still gonna follow the show though because it's still hilarious

Huh, wenn Abbie's sister showed up first, I thought "hey look, it's Susanna Moyer from Ingress, that's interesting". Now I just realized it's Sonya from Nikita and I don't get how I did not recognize her immediately. They really could be siblings, though.

GreenNight posted:Figure out where you left off and start there. You can FF through some of the random monster of the week episodes but every single season has some fantastic character development and amazing guest stars. It's best to just watch ever episode and if boring skip through to see if any major characters do anything. There was one episode about a fountain and wishes and nothing else I can remember because nothing else happened and it was just "Sam and Dean roll into a town, see strange things and solve a mystery without interacting with any other major characters." The last 6 eps of season 6 are essential, probably 2/3rds of season 7, and all of season 8 (except Sam's retarded romance plot) because it's setting up a new multi-season plot. The Felicia Day episodes aren't great, but interesting enough from a "regular monster hunters deal with a nerdy internet girl" perspective" that it's really entertaining. During the Ren Faire episode Dean gets really into the whole "feudal warrior knight mentality" and runs with it to make one of the funniest speeches ever in the show.

And on the other hand, with Supernatural, they really still do MOTW great. When they drop the arc stuff for an episode and just roll into a haunted house and shotgun some ghosts, it still works.

So with the Headless Horseman channeling Arnie and the Sandman giving off heavy Robert Patrick vibes, next episode is gonna go full T2 with Sarah Connor in the insane asylum, right? Right???

Random Stranger posted:You see that with a lot of "historical" characters. The ones that the audience is supposed to like are the ones that act exactly like modern day Americans no matter how out of place it is. Crane isn't the worst offender at this by a mile. Fortunately Sleepy Hollow's historical aspects aren't supposed to be taken seriously so it doesn't stand out as badly as it does in bad historical novels (or 90% of "good" historical novels for that matter). You do it because it's a stupid loving idea to write a horrible unlikeable unrelatable racist sexist homophobic monster for a character into a fun campy show like this. Why would you do this? Why would anyone even entertain the notion that historically accurate characters would add anything at all to a show like this? Just so we can have some hilarious racism? That sounds unwatchable. If anything I'm thankful that this show goes out of its way to make sure that its core premise doesn't make it extremely uncomfortable to watch. More headless guys with machine guns please. This show is fun and has a great cast with plenty of people of color in important roles and promises to be the best monster of the week type thing I've seen in ages. It doesn't need a redemption arc for a racist white guy in a leading role to awkwardly drum up conflict. Everything is good how it is and I am happy. Amen.

I for one watch this show both for the silly supernatural stuff and for the silly "WHAT MANNER OF SORCERY IS THIS" bits. I mean, Ichabod seems like a pretty keen fella and he saves his astonishment for things like donut taxes, car windows and the like (and, uh, systematic policies of mass slaughter), but I just love the whole time-displacement cultural shock thing. And Abbie's post-its were such a detail

You're joking, right? That's one of the single best episodes out of Supernatural's entire run.

I guess now that it's been long enough since I've seen 1 through 5 I'm no longer comparing them to the new seasons.
