I didn't think you'd take my feet stamping so seriously though dude, is it really that big of a deal to you that you can post about the Leftovers here? Because, silly reply aside, I honestly couldn't give much of a poo poo.

I'm saving Season Two to binge watch, along with basically everything else right now including Rectify and Nathan For You my two most anticipated shows. zoux posted:Where do y'all watch that and I'll take no replies to mean you're all illegally downloading it, for shame. I watched it when it first aired but isn't it still available on 4OD if your in the UK/have a proxy? I was under the impression they didn't take shows down.

I mean, I know a bunch of people disappear and poo poo, but.. so what? That bunch is 2% of the world's population which is like, maybe that bitch at work you hated disappeared and some of your facebook friends no longer post. Big whoop. But on the show everyone is milling about being moody for reasons? and a cult of silent people who chainsmoke are, y'know, extant. I quit after 2 eps and even that was being generous. Even the wikipedia entry for the main character is hilariously dull: quote:Justin Theroux as Kevin Garvey, Jr., Mapleton's chief of police and father of two who is trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy in this new world. The breakup of his family (none of whom were taken in The Sudden Departure) puts more and more of a strain on him. I mean come on.

140 million people disappeared without explanation and 3 years later nobody has ever figured it out. There's also no reason to believe it was a one time event and it makes it seem everything is pointless since anyone can poof at any time. It's easy to see why the world kind of went to poo poo. The show is really dull though.

Mo0 posted:what?! gently caress, Lucas Bros and Axe Cop were both great fun. I hope Adult Swim picks one or both up. There were talks of Axe Cop showing up in the Sunday block. I think they had already completed a bunch of half hour episodes, so it would probably be something they throw in to burn off the episodes and if it does good they would continue it.

In case you didn't hear, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco signed new contracts for $1 million per episode for BBT's remaining 72 episodes. Total compensation could reach $100 million: http://www.deadline.com/2014/08/big-bang-theory-stars-jim-parsons-johnny-galecki-kaley-cuoco-close-big-new-deals/

So, I haven't been following the Couch Chat thread closely lately (or at all) - but I'm popping in to ask a question about The Leftovers. (A quick CTRL-F on this page reveals that I may have come at a bad time...) Anyway, I just watched the first episode, and it's weird and completely baffling... Do they start slowly digging into "hey why are these people gone" or is it just more weird teenage sex parties and people being mopey and crazy that their neighbor's cousin disappeared? When the episode ended and I saw Lindelof's name come up, I quickly decided that I needed to know if it was going to go anywhere before I continued. Simply put, do they deal with the mythology or is it a character piece?

(A quick CTRL-F on this page reveals that I may have come at a bad time...) There's literally no explanation as to where the people disappeared to and why. It's mostly a charater piece. But it's been getting very interesting as of late. Last night's episode was pretty drat good.

It's a very inconsistent show. It's had some great parts and some laughable ones too.

Slamhound posted:It's a character piece, but the characters are boring and stupid and mopey. Okay, I'm perfectly happy to admit that The Leftovers is a hard show to like and as such I have zero interest in defending it. But comparing it to Dexter Season Anything? gently caress right off. No matter how many words you write, no matter how many times you deploy subjective buzzphrases like "leaden dialogue" and "stupid characters" and "ham-fisted storytelling" and how throughly you back those words up, it will not ever change the fact that the show about the effects of a Rapture-like event on humanity as seen through a cross-section of a small town, and the show about a heroic serial killer who kills other serial killers, are alike in only two ways: Both are hourlong programs made for premium networks, and both are shows you don't like. Trying to tie the two together in any other way is going to make you look like a hyperbolic idiot. "I loving hate The Leftovers. I can accept not having any insight on what happened, but I don't give a poo poo about these lovely people and their lovely attitudes toward their lovely world." Says the exact same thing in a respectable, unimpeachable way, without the sad suspicion that you're trying to score cool points by comparing a so-far critically respected TV series to what's widely regarded as one of the worst seasons of television ever produced. ...God dammit. If SpiderHyphenMan's an rear end in a top hat about Korra, I guess I'm the guy who's an rear end in a top hat about The Leftovers. At least now that Occ's not allowed to talk about it in this thread.
