pentyne posted:The build up to the finale was insane, and people's reactions immediately post-finale into trying to re-examine the season/episode/series and suddenly claim they discovered something deeper was hilarious. The writers wrote themselves into a corner and just ended it. That wasn't even the first time they wrote themselves into a corner, that's why things kept getting crazier and crazier. Basically this http://youtube.com/watch?v=MhGNvzWIxgM . Has the woman beater done anything of note since Lost or is he still unemployed?

Have any repo shows involved a redneck taking shots at them because that has to happen more than once a repo man's life.

And that a camera happened to be at ground level like 50 yards away from the outside of a parking garage, where you would have less than zero reason to actually be if this was an actual real show. It amazes me how some of these shows just aren't even pretending. Celery Jello fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Sep 28, 2014 |

We need a reality show version of Bar Rescue, where someone goes to revitalize a lovely reality show that's been languishing on the air for a season or two. I think we've reached that point.

I dunno, this scene/episode where the repo guy gets his rear end kicked by a manicurist who knows capoeira (who is inexplicably mic'ed up) shortly before he roundhouse kicks a random dude who comes to tell him to chill out (who is also inexplicably mic'ed up) in the head before getting knocked out with a metal wrench by the other repo lady before they both speed away seems pretty legit to me. If only those dudes could've gotten a couple of Hot Cops to run into the scene like in this other clip from a different (or same? who the hell knows) repo show on TruTV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSWb3Uc2cUI VDay fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Sep 28, 2014 |

Rutger Hauer Joins ABC Fairytale Comedy ‘Galavant’quote:Hauer joins a formidable list of Galavant guest stars that includes John Stamos as a goateed knight, Hugh Bonneville as landlocked pirate Peter the Pillager, Ricky Gervais as a medieval magician named Xanax, and Weird Al Yankovic as a singing monk. I have to say, even if this show fails, at least it'll be a interesting failure.

I didn't read the whole article but the quote you posted sounds like something I probably would have posted in this thread if I had ever watched True Detective. I've already posted as much about Lost before.

I think he's referring more to the narcissistic belief that people only started over-analyzing popular media after Lost premiered. The truth of the matter is that people have been sperging out about poo poo since antiquity, making the assertion that a ten year old television show changed how human beings viewed media patently absurd.

To say that people were never over-analyzing shows before Lost is definitely absurd. But to say that Lost didn't have a huge effect on how people viewed any kind of show with even the slightest mystery in it is also absurd.

I think it isn't so much the show Lost that caused it, but that it existed in conjunction with a relatively young (in human history terms) internet. Had the internet been around at the time, say, Twin Peaks was airing, that probably would have got the "really hosed people up" meme instead.

Sober posted:Before the internet, it was probably just academics. Then with the Lost era it just got exponentially worse because anyone could offer up their insane batshit theories on stuff. The thing is that the thoughts everyone posted when the show first aired turned out to be true (it was purgatory). And usenet existed for a ton of years before LOST came out for weirdo internet opinions to be posted on anyway. LOST just had a lovely ending is all.

Alt.tv.twin-peaks was one place, then the fanzine "wrapped in plastic" didn't stop publishing until 2005, producing 75 issues that my uncle probably still has stashed in his basement. There have always been obsessive fans of weird TV, but it's never been so cheap or accessible.

Yeah but that was all tucked away out of sight, you had to go looking for it or be "technical" at that time to even know what IRC was. Now any kid with a phone can participate. I often think (with the exception of places like Free Republic) that a high amount of the perceived craziness there is out there on the internet comes from the fact that a lot of the time I'm reading the writings of literal children, and it just hasn't occurred to me because I'm reading it in my adult inner voice.

Definitely. I can't tell you the number of times I thought people on this very forum were either insane or stupid until I saw their pictures and was like "oooooohhhhhhh, now it makes sense." Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems like this generation lacks creativity and mental flexibility. They view everything very starkly, and get upset whenever you present an alternate viewpoint. Kids of my generation were free thinkers. We used to the internet to express ourselves and test the boundaries of human thought. This generation just reposts the same cat pictures, anime gifs, and memes as everybody else, desperately hoping to be accepted by the internet hivemind. Its sad. It really is.

When the final episode of The Prisoner aired, the network switchboards were jammed. People were furious that the final episode was a parable about conformity and not a literal explanation of what the Village was. It is one of the greatest hours of TV ever. Screw literal answers.
