Bryan Cranston is quite good as well. Don't think I can say the same for Jon Hamm, though.

Two episodes, actually, and why wouldn't they?

Serenity if the worst movie I've ever seen on HD DVD

It's a TNT show, which should tell you all you need to know about it.

It's nothing transcendent, but it is a fun show about fun criminals with some serious dramatic moments along the way. If you like White Collar or Burn Notice, you'll probably like Leverage.

I legitimately forgot that happened until right now because that's one of the less crazy things that happens that season. That's how nuts Season 2 is.

It's good if you like historical pieces (and even better if you like naughty pius people). It's a bit of a shame it never got to really finish its story.

Somehow I doubt Chuck Berry fans are gonna be extolling Tool.

You can make giant lists of albums for any decade, doesn't make it any less the worst. Both indie and rap had much better 2000-2009 than 1990-1999. Mainstream rock took a giant dump, but pretty much everything else got much better.

In this world Couch Chat is just the cool stoner guys who just sort of laugh at everyone and anyone around them.

I already made that joke. That's what started this latest tangent.

That's fair. Frankly, I tend to get most annoyed by it when it's leveled towards a show I enjoy, so this is probably more on me than anyone else.

But it's like this. You know that sports radio guy? You know the caricature: He's got that booming voice that puts his weight at around 300 lbs, scratchy from decades of rampant, unchecked insistence? Probably regrets marrying his wife, having that third child who turned out to be kind of a retard (in his view)? Probably thinks if he made different choices he could've been more than some mid-level construction guy, liked well enough by his peers and underlings but is constantly poo poo on by his bosses? But by god he's been a fan of [Sports Team] all his life and he sure knows better than the people who have actually been doing this poo poo for years and have access to information he doesn't have!

And you loving hate him, right? The thing is, you do the same thing he always does, and you've even agreed with him a couple of times here and there! But there's something about him that makes you hate sports talk radio as a whole. It's irrational, but it's present, and for whatever reason you have to work a little harder to get past it.

For whatever reason, phrases like "lazy writing," if it's not out of people I already somewhat respect, trigger that for me; I read that phrase and the poster's voice suddenly switches to that caricature. And again, that's probably on me, and that's absolutely hypocritical; I know I get that way sometimes, and I'm sure I come off the exact same way to other people around here. Still, it's present and I don't know how to get around it.

I remember mentioning 1x20 a lot because that's the first episode where I started thinking Velma might be gay in this series*

Spoilers really aren't gonna "ruin" things for you, I dunno, unless you read like every detail of what's gonna happen. Just hearing so-and-so is gonna die isn't gonna totally sap the experience of watching it unfold. Two things though, one being it's still fair to prefer not to be spoiled, and secondly with the GoT series it's hilarious seeing people act like real men of letters because they read a fantasy series for nerds

zoux posted:

Just wait til the next big ole fight about spoilers in the Couch Chat thread, forecast for any minute now.

Fast Luck posted:

It's just real bad. Here in women's prison they run around looking for magical chickens and having adventures, almost everyone is a good quirky person who just went wrong in life, except for the literally insane redneck Christian drug addict. I think the one scene that represents the show best is when that cool inmate Poussey is doing her full-on "bitch, girllll" ebonics-speak while namedropping The Smiths or someone like that. When I watched the last episode and saw it was setting up season two I was pretty disappointed that I didn't get a conclusion because I'm definitely not watching season 2.
