Season 3 has a really strong finish. The last 3-4 episodes are a lot of fun.

Well yeah those episodes sucked. What a surprise that the show is a lot better when Brody is actually in it. He comes back in the latter half.

raditts posted:Isn't that on Netflix or something by now? Yeah, but I'd held off on binging until I get the correct episode order written down somewhere. Speaking of which, they capped the marathon with one of the unaired episodes- which I could tell from the story arc and Chloe's characterization was from the first season and rather early to boot. ABC started loving with this show from Day One, didn't they?

Gotham is going to drive this loving forum crazy.quote:The setting is a mix of many different eras: characters use flip phones, but drive vintage cars and wear old-fashioned clothing. It really does sound like they know what they're doing, it's just a matter of if it's going to be embraced or not.

That actually sounds really interesting to me, going with a Tarantino-esque vague "pastness" rather than sticking to a specific era.

It just seems like the right approach to a comic adaption. Comics live in that weird time period where Batman's been the same age for 50 years and all the major world changes still happen. Setting the show in the same kind of timeless place makes a lot of sense and gives you the same freedom comics have.

That is probably the best sounding thing I've heard about Gotham so far. The Joker gimmick thing is way worse.

Seeing as how Mystic Knights and Beetleborgs were both made by Saban, its hard to call them ripoffs. Mystic Knights was the first attempt by Saban to do a Ranger style show without Japanese tokusatsu footage, though. If you're going for actual ripoffs, though, you best go right for the king  http://youtu.be/qmhRKU5zBS8

It's magical ancient Ireland, but it's also a 90s kid show so... a black guy! The best thing about Big Bad Beetleborgs was how they fired the girl main character but didn't really feel like making up a reason for her to be replaced. So instead they just recast her by saying a magic spell changed how she looked and then added a new magic spell that made everyone else see her as the original person.

I hate how the actors all look like off-brand movie stars. The girl is a dead ringer for young Jennifer Garner and the black guy looks like every black guy who has ever been on Doctor Who. Its such a weird uncanny valley effect.

Shageletic posted:Not being in the comic doesn't mean a thing for an adaption, I think. And even if he isn't a lead, I guess I've been burned by hokey teenage plots in other TV shows before. Can anyone think of the last teenage supporting castmember whose plots were ACTUALLY an interesting part of their respective shows? Kenny Wangler on Oz all the kids on The Wire
