Sounds like a delightful group. and no, precision. Because Zooey Deschanel has always been good and the haters were just people who wanted to be seen as too cool for school.

Sober posted:Didn't I heard they changed the format this year for SYTYCD? Instantly made me want to not want to watch it from what I remember, but can't seem to recall what they wanted to do. They've got two "teams" a street team and a stage team. But I think it's one from each team that gets voted off each week, so more like two concurrent competitions rather than stage VS street. That may change as the number reduce though. And probably only one over all winner. So only real week to week difference it's made so far is stage dancers are doing the stage routines together and street are doing the street routines. No complaints on the format change from me so far, perhaps we can expect a higher standard of dancing rather than seeing people out of their comfort zone.

precision posted:Is it really so bad that Zooey Deschanel is my favorite part of New Girl? I'm in season 2 now. Nope, people give Zooey D a lot of poo poo in the first season for being overly twee but by the second it's pretty much turned into an ensemble comedy where everyone can hold their own. Some of her bits are the hardest I've laughed at the show.

Sometimes Schmidt's "isn't it funny how much of a gross douche I am?" is actually just gross or douchey instead of funny.

I like her in New Girl and I liked her in Elf but I can't think of anything else I've enjoyed that featured her and I think her music is awful. Also, I have never been or aspired to be cool. precision posted:Sometimes Schmidt's "isn't it funny how much of a gross douche I am?" is actually just gross or douchey instead of funny. I don't think Schmidt is supposed to be viewed as a positive role model for anyone. Then again, I didn't think the same thing about Barney Stinson, but have known people that definitely seemed to view him that way. raditts fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jul 14, 2015 |

This was genuinely the reason I stopped watching. It stopped becoming comical and just got creepy, and it almost ended up affecting every other character to the point where they were all hosed-up perverts. Well also the really really lovely "big bag of meth" episode.

They do a nice job balancing terrible-looking new content with callbacks built around the laughable notion that anybody has nostalgia for Heroes.

Sober posted:I got the impression super competent fluent in English ninja Hiro was a product of Sylar taking over the world or whatever that apocalyptic timeline was in S1. They prevented it so I assume that he had to reason to visit the prime timeline to warn himself or Peter or whatever happened in S1.

I laughed my rear end off at the manila envelope with the glasses inside, this is gonna somehow manage to be dumber than the original series. The only thing this has going for it is that there will be no Claire and no Sylar, since they have actual careers now. I hope you yelled "NISAANBASAAH" at the end shot of Hiro, because you know I did.

As I said when I posted it in the Heroes thread that footage looks better than anything that ever aired during the first go around but that still doesn't convince me it will be good at all. It does look like they've gotten over their phobia of making a show about people with superpowers and actually having them do something with them though.
