Well I gave Chance three episodes but it's just not working for me. I have no idea what's actually going on and the plot about the desk seems pointless.

For a show that made no noise as far as I'm aware, Rectify may have pushed the Wire and Deadwood down a notch in my favorites list. Just finished it, lot of dust in the room for Season 4. MOVIE MAJICK fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Feb 9, 2017 |

I don't know if you guys have talked about it earlier but I think Legion is pretty good. It knows when to not take itself seriously and the end piqued my interest.

Legion was good but I can't imagine it will last. It seems to be way too weird to find an audience. Being on FX may be the only thing that saves it.

FX keeps stuff that has terrible ratings because they have faith in a lot of what they invest in, even if Nielsen viewers could give less of a poo poo. Besides, this feels like it was an ending mapped out and needs a certain minimum amount of episodes to complete it. Pan Dulce fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Feb 9, 2017 |

AVClub comments are usually fine, aside from the same fucker who, for every episode of THE EXPANSE, would start a big thread for people who have read the books. Discuss the loving show.

Discuss the loving show. Isn't that kind of smart, though? Discus didn't have spoiler tags last year, so the best way to stop random book spoilers from floating around everywhere is just to create a dedicated thread for them, which the other posters can easily collapse. Yeah, it'd be great if readers would just plain not let their foreknowledge infect conversation -- god knows I've been spoiled here because people don't get how spoiler tags work, if they bother to use them at all -- but that's just not going to happen. Their way at least contains the information, theoretically at least.

With a series, I can see them better developing them and that's a plus in my book. And Jesus gently caress these comments and dislikes.

They have tags now, but invariably it still spills over into other comments. And I still don't really get the point of the same 5 people having a book discussion every week. Also weirdly disqus is only collapsible on my phone.

Nah, but it's super important that everyone else in the comments gets to hear about how the show is skipping Jojen and Meera Reed, when are they going to introduce them OMG are they cutting them from the adaptation they're really important characters who have a lot to contribute! Especially when most of the rest of the comment section haven't read the books, don't know what those posters are talking about, and potentially don't really care about overly anxious fidelity criticism -- particularly when there are unmarked spoilers all over the place. (Someone managed to spoil three character deaths in three different currently airing shows, all in the same post. One of them wasn't even a book adaptation!)

Reminder that before that it was Spike TV and before that it was The National Network and before that The Nashville Network. Huh, I remember when my local UHF superstation got bought out by Paramount in the early '90s, and they started calling it that.

Oh, he said the thread. I mean, I guess that's understandable, but the thread wasn't really that bad as far as theorycrafting goes? After the season ended it was mostly speculation surrounding the reveal in the last episode and what might happen next, which is kind of normal I would think, it's not as though there's any more show to talk about for the next 7-8 months.

I finished The Good Place finally. I wasn't going to watch it until I thankfully got spoiled as to the real plot. I love it and I know I would still not have watched it without knowing what the ending was going to be.

I looked through the first couple pages of the forum and I didn't see a dedicated Emerald City thread. I've seen all the episodes so far despite not knowing a single other person who's actually watching it. I don't have high hopes for it being renewed for a second season but I'm enjoying myself right now for the first. It doesn't hurt that the actor who plays Lucas is hot like fire.

Oh, sweet Christ, Riverdale. First of all, Shannon Purser's episode aired today (she plays Ethel Muggs), and at the end of the episode, Cheryl Blossom tosses off "#JusticeForEthel" as a line. I thought it was funny. Fight me. But that's not what drove me here. Preview for next week airs: You know how we were kinda rolling our eyes about Miss Grundy suddenly being a hot cougar because it's the CW (and also because she was loving Archie)? Well, turns out she might have stolen the real Miss Grundy's identity so now that's gonna be a drat thing on top of all the other drat things in this loving show. I think I'm in love, guys.
