Fringe s5e7 "Five-Twenty-Ten" Another good episode! Peter is turning into an Observer, and Joshua Jackson is really selling it. Walter's musical tastes continue to be awesome as he sits in the dark listening to David Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World. Anna Torv kind of does some acting as Olivia continues to worry about Peter. Nina Sharp looks great with silver hair. I'm not sure Walter actually understands brain surgery. Or maybe it's the writers. I can definitely see this season being pretty decent in a vacuum. Which I guess is what they were going for, after all. Meanwhile, in Capeside, Pacey has revealed to Joey that he has bought an old boat to fix up. He has named it "True Love". Last episode, Pacey and Dawson came to blows, but then made up, saying that if they are going to fight, it should at least be over a girl. This show loves its foreshadowing. Also this exchange, from the previous episode, where Dawson gets offended by someone preferring television to film: Dawson: Oh... All right, you know what? Take Felicity, for example. Aw, come on, if you've seen one hour of whiny, over analytical teen angst, you've seen them all. Don't get me wrong. She's pretty, but what kind of a heroine is she? Well, she's-- she's indecisive. She's basically...Paralyzed by some romantic notion of the way things are supposed to be. If you ask me, she's kind of chatty. Eve: She's you. Dawson: Excuse me? Eve: She's you, Dawson. Except she's in college and a girl and... Dawson: A fictional character on a television show. Eve: Exactly. Think about it. You're straight out of central casting. Perfect hair, perfect skin-- our hero. Dawson: Well, obviously you weren't watching last season. It was far from perfect. You know, which is, in general, my complaint about television. It's not reality, it's perfection. I mean, nobody ever blows it or gets tested in any real way or ever makes the wrong choice or bad choice or...

Snak was making the point. It lost interest in working on an episode level in favor of callbacks and a pretty cliche sci fi meta plotline. I lost interest mid-way and never bothered finishing it.

Postal Parcel posted:So what do people think about TBS's original comedies The Detour and Wrecked? I personally like both but I think Detour had more laughs and will have more consistency by the end of Wrecked's season. I've also heard that Wrecked sort of...drops off past the first 4 or so episodes. Me and another guy here loved The Detour. But its like no one has seen it. Animal Kingdom is good y'all. I had my doubts considering how much I loved the movie, but it does a real good job justifying itself. The criminal family material can seem to sustain itself for at least a while. And the characters are interesting, and the viewpoint unflinching. Mu Zeta posted:That's like being 3 units short of getting your degree and dropping out to create Pets.com Ha.

Tortolia posted:Totally worth axing Limitless and Person of Interest, guys Person of Interest got five seasons despite under-performing with ratings and was given a set end date and an entire season to wrap things up, I will never understand the bitterness surrounding its cancellation considering it got more than twice as many episodes as Carnivale and Deadwood and Hannibal and seven times as many episodes as Terriers and Firefly.

Person of Interest was not given a set end date, they weren't even told that they were being cancelled or that it would be a shortened season but they read the writing on the wall and the writing said "gently caress You" so they wrote the latest season under the (correct) assumption that it would be their last.

They were renewed for a 13 episode season. So that alone should have set off alarm bells for the showrunners who were smart enough to see it would be the last season. Then the showrunners handed in their final few scripts that basically wrapped everything up and didn't get any pushback from CBS, so they had to have known it was dead at that point(just no official word). Yea it was absolutely lovely that CBS didn't tell them that they were cancelled, but they were still smart enough to see it was a final season and wrote it as one which is more than a ton of other shows get.

The showrunner and creator for Person of Interest literally had to announce it was the series finale in an online interview because CBS was dicking them around. Also it is owned and produced by WB so it makes sense they would drop it. Limitless though, yeesh, what a mistake in more ways than one canceling that.

POI was a good show but let's not pretend that it didn't turn to poo poo when Caveziel improved a non-existant true wuv arc into a death scene of a major character. It wasn't that that killed it, but it fell apart around then. I mean maybe this current season is good but I haven't been able to muster up enough of a poo poo to watch it after the last one was just wheels spinning. e: the point is POI got every break in the world.

Wandle Cax posted:Why? Did it get good ratings? So yeah. It's probably also a branding issue, probably skews too young for CBS and all that. In case you didn't know or care to know in this era of television a lot of broadcasters are wary about shows from outside studios because they're not likely to grab viewers for attractive ad buys during live broadcast, and they won't make any money if the show makes it to syndication (if people even care about buying syndication rights anymore anyway). At least with international sales they can maybe recoup the cost. Which is why WB's shows sometimes can do alright but will get passed over on ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox.

Making it into a wackety-shamackety lesbian vampire movie seems to completely miss the point of why old Lifetime movies were so funny. It's like the guy trying to make a sequel to Manos: Hands of Fate with luchadores and poo poo in it.

POI is great and gently caress CBS for giving them a shortened final season. It's been really obvious this season that they had a lot planned for a full-length season but had to shave a ton of plot points and storylines off to make things work.

Even in the context of this season, it feels like they introduced a bunch of plotlines and then around episode 10 they realized "oh poo poo we're not getting an extension", and then they had to jam an entire half-season's worth of story into 3-4 episodes.

If anything dragged the show down it was the mediocre fourth season and how they didn't have the capability to really demonstrate the level to which the stakes had been raised once Samaritan had control. I really hated season 4.

The problem is that Fringe ended on a high note at the end of S4, since most of the big story threads were wrapped up. So S5 feels more like "Oh, poo poo, we got renewed, we really weren't expecting that, that's why we resolved the plot back in S4 finale. OK, so now here's a story about those observers." It's not horrible, it's just there.

I didn't realize how much I disliked season 4 until season 5 started and I couldn't be bothered to watch most of it until I realized the finale is next week and I binged it. To be fair, the long break didn't help either, and I think this is the last network show I'm still watching, so I'm not really the target viewer at this point. I'm glad it's wrapping up though.

I didn't mind Season 4, but you could tell that the writers still thought the network was going to give them two more seasons to finish things out and that really hurt the season in retrospect.

Also that their storyline at that point hinged on Shaw's presence and, well, Shahi was pregnant with twins by they time they started filming the first episodes. It's incredibly obvious that the second half of the season was more than anything them dragging it along until she could return. Just, CBS didn't renew the show for even a full final season so, welp.

One more reason Hannibal rules, it also had a six year plan but they were willing to deviate from it and were that much stronger because half a season of Hannibal on the run was already too much.
