hollylolly posted:I'm not sure who you are referring to as 'the good characters.' Episode 8 was the midseason finale and I think ep 9 was really strong as well. There is an interlude around episode 14 (title)The Search which I didn't like much at all, but...? Well I'm not sure I remember the episode numbers clearly, but basically Colum banished Dugal at the end of an episode, and since then I haven't seen any of the characters from Castle Leoch again. We're off at Jamie's house loving around with really generic bullshit plots. Do we ever go back to Castle Leoch? I miss Colum and Dugal and Angus and Mrs. Fitz. And Murtagh. fake edit: I just looked and I've watched through episode 12. I guess it was just 11 and 12 that I thought were bad. My favorite thing about episode 11 is that it confirmed a hunch that I had in the second episode which I had forgotten about. That was cool.

[Read at your own risk - not huge spoilers but they're still spoilers] They don't go back to Castle Leoch, but you will see some of those characters again. Introducing and knowing Jamie's family was pretty interesting to me - and I adore Jenny. But ultimately this is a story about Claire and Jamie, so the action follows where they go.

I do like Jenny and her Husband so far though. I just feel like the show started with a really great sense of scale. One of the problems that shows like this have is convincingly building a small medieval community. Castle Leoch was a great setting and was populated by good characters. Now it feels like we've moved to bullshit smaller budget land and the setting is much more par for the television period drama course. Snak fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Jan 19, 2016 |

I have no thoughts or feelings about that show, but it frustrates me to no end that they didn't just call it 'Don't Trust the Bitch in etc etc'. If you need to self-censor your show's name for it to be aired, pick a different name.

Snak posted:edit: I guess I will just spoiler tag the whole post Well, they don't stay at Lallybroch either! I don't know what to say about your budget perception - every room and setting is researched and populated with replicas and actual tapestries and things. Nothing about the settings (or costumes) are cheap. Obviously a country manor isn't going to be as large or impressive as a castle, but that's the story. The showrunners didn't make this up on their own, they're following the book. I'm going to start the season 2 thread up soon and make it season 1 catch up friendly.

The showrunners didn't make this up on their own, they're following the book. Oh I don't mean the visuals at all. It's still a gorgeous show. It's more that Castle Leoch felt like a place where real landowners lived, and Lallybroch feels like a much more simplistic setting. At Castle Leoch, we saw a broad crossection of the people there very quickly. We saw the people who worked in the stable, the kitchen, the administration, and the Laird. When we move to Lallybroch, it understandably smaller, but it feels much less plausible that it's an estate from an administrative perspective. But it's not like I'm gonna stop watching. I think it was just a big shock to go from the previous scope to an episode that took place entire in the thieves pit and the courtroom, followed by an episode that took place entire on the road and mostly empty Lallybroch. Side question: How old is Jaime supposed to be? Like 18-19?

Snak posted:edit: I guess I will just spoiler tag the whole post I felt like one of the strengths of Outlander S1 on the whole was the very thing you mention above. Lesser shows would linger in locations because it is easy to milk characters we like instead of changing settings, cycling in new characters, etc. Outlander is the story of Claire and Jamie, though, and they are basically both fugitives/persons of interest to the Redcoats and Randall. Couple that with the fact that they are both stubborn, difficult people and them wearing out their welcomes and having to keep moving fits the story IMO. You only have a few more episodes though and it ends extremely strongly, I felt, so I would be curious if your opinion changes when you see the season arc as a whole.

If you need to self-censor your show's name for it to be aired, pick a different name. It's weird that between that and GCB, ABC had two shows with censored names around the same time (that were both prematurely killed, of course). And then CBS had "Bleep My Dad Says" which should never have existed to begin with. raditts fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Jan 19, 2016 |

Happy late Tuesday night, boys and girls. I'm only a few minutes into this week's Limitless and tonight they're chasing the sort of depraved serial killer that's profiled on Criminal Minds all the time. Except as soon as Brian starts hearing the gory details of the crime, we immediately jump inside his head and meet the host of his favorite TV show, which lays down some rules for his subconscious: so far, it's "replace all the scary words with fun words" and "refer to any serial killer as 'Mister' followed by an ice cream flavor." So this week, the team is chasing down Mister Pralines and Cream, who played Cowboys and Indians with his victim, tickled her 40 times, and cuddled her with her own unicorn and I'm masking that because you motherfuckers should REALLY be watching Limitless. The rest of this episode could be a stone dud and I'd still respect the attempt.

Limitless is fantastic. It is a shame the show only had one episode screened for review because the humor and cleverness shows up in the second episode and it feels like a lot of people wrote it off as another serious CBS procedural with a movie tie-in.
