How good of a show is Homeland? I'm 3 episodes in,but some of the acting (brody and his wife and family) is pretty brutal.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:How good of a show is Homeland? Well Morena Baccarin sucks in it yes, but the daughter and Brody start to mesh really well and Season 1 of Homeland was some of the absolute best tv in recent memory.. Do not under any circumstances watch past season 1, though. Just pretend the other thing happened, you'll know what when you see it.

I'm on episode 7 of The 100 and it's not bad! Also the show should be called like The 67 or whatever since so many die.

Jesus loving Christ Backstrom just dropped a line that has absolutely no defense at all. He ends up meeting his ex, from the context a lawyer and his line is "Why aren't you in Salem defending battered women from the men they annoy?" loving hell I quit the episode right there. This show is complete irredeemable garbage.

Though to be fair, I've only watched the pilot because my wife found him to be such an annoying, terrible, irredeemable rear end in a top hat that she didn't have any desire to watch more. I will give the show credit though, they certainly aren't going for the "rear end in a top hat with a heart of gold" cliche.

Are there many series which started with a two-part story? Not in the "feature-length pilot" fashion, but in the sense that episodes one and two are one story in two parts. The only examples that occur to me off the top of my head are Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Dead Zone but I imagine there are more.

It was too little too late but the stuff they set up was interesting and they finally found a dynamic that worked with the Captain, Rush, Eli and Wren.

No show will have 100% positive posting though. BSG also had its detractors early on re: the religion angle, but I wouldn't count that, or one-off really unpopular single episodes like The Woman King.

I can't remember the thread here, but BSG had people hating on it before it even aired. Convinced it was going to be a terrible remake and that the old version would reign superior.

The BSG threads were mostly love fests until the last season, so somewhere in the 4th season. Then it started getting way more conflicted. Lost turned earlier than that, I think around season 3. Heroes turned super fast in season 2, with good reason. There's another show I'm not allowed to mention in here that just finished it's 8th season, which has gone back and forth between the thread loving everything it's done and hating everything it's done, but this past season's thread was mostly positive.

If you want to talk about genre threads that were terrible from the get go nothing beats The Walking Dead. As soon as the first episode aired the whole thing went to poo poo, becoming completely full of "that's not how zombies act" or "this is what I would have done in that situation." Ugh.

Isn't that a reasonable line of discussion, though? If characters are acting contrary to the way real people would act for no other reason than to put themselves into peril, then that's a sign of lazy writing and is something worth talking about.

The thing is they were acting like regular people would act, what they weren't doing was acting like cool, calm zombie murder machines who had spent hours and hours of their lives thinking and talking and posting about exactly what they would do in a zombie apocalypse.

Not to nitpick, but I imagine if I were in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, I would spend every waking moment of my life worrying about, and planning how to kill, zombies. Now, you could say that the zombie apocalypse just occurred and people didn't have time yet to put much thought into it. However, the series starts 60 days into the zombie apocalypse. By comparison, it takes 70 days to train a marine to fight living, breathing and, most importantly, thinking human beings. 60 days should be more than enough time to develop the basic survival skills you need to outwit a slow, shambling horde of unthinking monsters.

The Lost pilot is officially, Pilot Part 1 and Pilot Part 2, but it probably aired as a 2 hour premiere, so I don't know if that counts as your "feature-length pilot". Same for Firefly. The 80's Transformers started with a 3 parter, "More Than Meets The Eye".
