You really just want to start with the miniseries and then go on to the regular series. You can pretty much ignore the movies as well as Caprica and or Blood and Chrome.

I'd watch Razor in between seasons three and four (I think that's when it aired) but all the other stuff (the webisodes and the prequal movie) can be ignored.

Caprica was delightful as well, though attempting a rewatch is rather difficult because it suffers from an ingratiatingly slow-paced plot. It's good for a one-time watch-through though.

That Buzzfeed article could be about any British actor in America. They've framed it the way they have because it's Buzzfeed.

Sober posted:No, I am pretty liberal myself but I do question if people who say, watch Mad Men because everyone else that they share values (liberal middle class is usually tied to MM viewers) with does it too, and not because they actually like it on their own merits. Watching prestige television for prestige television sake feels like the current cultural version of keeping up with the Joneses. You pretty much just described the entire audience of Duck Dynasty. It's a fake boring commercial that became a hit when every evangelical in America was obligated to watch it because the family prays on-screen a few times.

But somehow not even close to the awful of Arielle Kebbel who is on a completely different level of awful that I had thought was previously reserved for "friends of the producer" type actors. That accent she used made me want to stab my ears.

That Irish guy was hilariously Irish though.... although i think he probably didn't quite say "gently caress" enough

I always thought Jamie Kennedy was kind of harmlessly devoid of talent and somehow kept getting comedy specials, and then I saw that coke-fueled new years special he hosted. That was... something.

Rocksicles posted:That Irish guy was hilariously Irish though.... although i think he probably didn't quite say "gently caress" enough The whole thing was full of really questionable head scratching stuff like that. For instance hiring a not so great french actress with a really thick accent as the lead and then spend the entire first part of the episode focusing on her character as a bad french actress with a really thick accent that can't get any leading roles. Seemed really odd to start off on that foot. I mean she wasn't nearly as bad as the character was but it was kind of like, why draw attention to this at all?

There was also the oddly nonspecific disaster at the start where everyone is just milling about in the streets for no reason.

This was posted in GBS but I feel like it will be appreciated here too. 69 TV intros re-imagined by forums poster RaceFat thread / YouTube Playlist They're listed on the playlist in the order they were written and they get better as they progress. Still, I'd recommend just picking a show you recognize and going from there. My personal favorites are True Detective, The Americans, Doug, and The West Wing, but they're all great in their own way.

Some of them are not bad. Go listen to Darkwing Duck. And if you showed me the Twin Peaks one and told me it was an alternate opening to that show, I would have believed you.

It does remind me that The West Wing is probably the only show that could drape the American flag over the entire credits sequence without it seeming grossly patriotic.

I made a couple of those back in the day for fun. The Dexter one was momentarily popular here, as was the Community one, I think. Castle like Mannix: http://youtu.be/nMntqvijI-Q Dexter in the 1980's: http://youtu.be/5TsSHqVd724 Community - Full House: http://youtu.be/Nc4s6tpAdMI Dexter - Batista and Quinn buddy cops: http://youtu.be/szE3nf2dY8k Edit: the Castle one is kind of niche, if you want to "get it"- go watch the old Mannix titles. Seamus Dever reposted that one on his twitter back when I made it. Tuxedo Jack fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Jan 6, 2015 |

The gently caress? http://www.avclub.com/article/syfys-12-monkeys-will-mess-lights-some-viewers-hom-213461 quote:Syfy has announced that it’ll be giving certain viewers the option to let the network take control of their home’s lighting systems during broadcasts of its upcoming series 12 Monkeys. The new show—based on the 1995 Bruce Willis film, and set to debut on Jan. 16—will come with a “light track” that owners of Philips’ smartphone-interactive Hue lighting system will be able to use to view a custom light show, synced to the show’s content.

precision posted:Giving SyFy control of the lights in my house does sound like a terrific idea. Yes indeed. Obviously they're not literally letting the people at a TV network control their lights. It's probably like a pre-programmed thing you can install on your phone that works with those Hue lights that's timed to change the lights in sync to the TV show. Gimmicky as hell, but kind of interesting, and almost nakedly an advertisement for the Hue thing. edit: In fact, that sounds like exactly what it is. Here's a clip from a less lovely and clickbaity article: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150105006323/en/Syfy-Philips-Pioneer-World-TV-Entertainment-12#.VKwP7ivF-B4 quote:Starting with the series premiere on Friday, January 16 at 9pm ET/PT, 12 Monkeys fans who pair the Syfy Sync app for phones and tablets with Philips Hue bulbs while watching the program will be treated to a specially designed “light track” – marrying the action on the screen to the lighting in your room – which will add a heightened engagement through a more immersive viewing experience. When combined, the app will detect audio cues from 12 Monkeys and translate them to the Web-enabled Hue system. Fans will then be enveloped in the onscreen action through ambient lighting effects designed to engage viewers in an entirely unique way. raditts fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jan 6, 2015 |

The Hue thing is not new, they've done it before. If you have a Philips TV with Ambilight, you can sync the Hue system to it for any content and have the lights in the room change dynamically with the content on screen. Gimmicky, but could be neat in the right conditions.
