VagueRant posted:Arrow, Community and Game of Thrones have all gone a bit crap and broken my heart. I'm the one guy who didn't enjoy Daredevil. Is there anything good on TV this year? Have you watched The Americans? There's 3 seasons of that you can catch up on. Rectify premieres season 3 next month, and seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix right now.

^^^I will be for sure. Legends of Tomorrow looks amazing. Supergirl looks kinda stupid (though I'll still be giving it a shot, despite the First Look essentially being a condensed version of the entire pilot).

Wayward Pines has gotten good early reviews. I'm hesitantly looking forward to it.

Yeah I wasn't going to watch Wayward Pines but I've heard good things so I'll probably check it out. It has a good cast, at least.

Is this the one that Terrence Howard is in as a small town cop or something? It would be funny if he just turns up in one Fox show after another as each goes on hiatus.

HorseRenoir posted:When was the last time people gave a poo poo about something the Simpsons writing staff actually wrote? It feels like all the press this show has gotten for over a decade is "_____ did a couch gag" or "_____ made a guest appearance". Didn't Shearer once go on about how he thinks all the scripts have been crap for years in an interview a while back? Might be confusing him with another one of the non-Simpson regular voice actors, but that's not exactly a crowded field.

I remember reading an interview with him around season 12 where mentioned how much he hated seeing the names of certain writers on a script and complained about how out of character some of his roles were being written. A few years later he complained that his characters weren't being featured as often in the show which prompted Al Jean to snip back that he never showed up to table reads so his lines got cut.

Somebody making $300 - 400k an episode for a few hours of work doesn't garner a lot of sympathy, especially when the writers are making 1/100th of that each year (if that) for 50x the work. I watch every single episode they put out, and in the last seven or eight seasons I've made it all the way through maybe 3-4 episodes each season.

Catching the last couple of minutes of Bones after not watching it in a couple of years and man, David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel are looking kind of rough. Also mind blown already for Wayward Pines as I just got done watching this week's I, Zombie and one of the first people on screen was Malcolm Goodwin (Det Babineaux)

So Wayward Pines would have been a "not really much of a mystery" mystery show except for one little bit. There's some kind of time shenanigans going on. There's one character who thinks they've only been in town a year and they got there in 1999 and another character who has said they've been there 12 years when the main character last saw them 5 weeks ago.Pillowpants posted:Does anyone actually know for certain if "Supergirl" is or is not part of the larger universe of DC? Superman is mentioned multiple times in the trailer they put out which definitely makes it not part of the Arrow/Flash universe.

They don't actually say superman though? They just say her cousin, which kind of like mentioning random DC cities in arrow.

What is "not really much of a mystery" about it? I'd say there's a pretty goddamn significant part of it that is mysterious.

It's not part of the Arrow/Flash TV universe (though it could be later.) It is likely not part of the movie universe but no I don't think there's 100% confirmation out there.

They never bother to resolve the mystery, and half the time the writers are just making poo poo up as they go along and just adding more unanswered questions. The writers are just jerking us around, so you know what, gently caress any show based around some big weird mystery. If the show can go through one season without adding a half dozen extra mysteries that the writers pulled out of their asses, I might consider watching it. Oh yeah, they've got M. Night Shyamalan to give his seal of approval, despite the fact that he's a hack that relies on twist endings. Do you think we're getting The Sixth Sense Shyamalan? I'm pretty sure we're probably getting Lady in the Water Shyamalan. So yeah, I'm gonna skip Wayward Pines.

I've got half a season to catch up to (maybe), but from skimming reviews it seems Kai comes back after Elena takes the human cure, links her into something like magical cryogenic stasis to Bonnie where as long Bonnie is alive, Elena won't wake up. This is all to spite Damon or something but of course is too stupid to realize that Damon can just wait out Bonnie's natural life to be with Elena, and kills Kai. Of course given how often Bonnie dies, this might not be very long at all. edit: beaten

I was confused about his description of Carla Gugino's character, especially when he said she was 27. I was all, I know she looks good but girl can't pass for that. Which of course lead to the whole time stuff.

I don't know that it's necessarily time stuff, there seems to be a lot of brain experimenting going on and clearly everyone inside the town is either a test subject or is spying on a test subject, so there could just be some mind fuckery based around convincing them that they've been there for X amount of time. thrakkorzog posted:At this point I've given up on shows that rely on some big mystery for their plot.

So do you think they'll actually explain the batshit plot, or will they just drag it out into the next season? Plus add a bunch of side plots. Before you answer, I'd recommend watching Under the Dome. It was a decent story, but hey, writers gotta pull subplots out of their asses to make it a TV show. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 15:26 on May 15, 2015 |
