I just moved and finally have room for a couch. Went blue microfiber for the upholstery and got a sofa bed for guests. Am I doing it right, couch chat? Edit : if it makes a difference, the mattress in said sofa bed is memory foam.

Rarity posted:If anyone stopped watching Misfits after they got rid of the original cast then stop being an idiot and go check out the final 2 seasons. It takes a couple of episodes for the new cast to click but there's so many great episodes there that totally stand up to the original crew. I almost agree with this. Every episode of season five has been a delight. Hilarious, charming, really hosed up in that way Misfits is. However, I can really only think of two episodes in season four that aren't mind numbingly boring. I couldn't even be arsed to care when they killed off Curtis. Is it worth the slog for the gems we get this season? Probably, I mean it's only like 8 episodes, and they do lay ground work that's pretty important character wise..I guess. But this season is worlds better. Worlds and worlds and worlds better. The characters feel like they all have something to do (or even agency) at this point, and it's nice.

precision posted:Oh come on, Misfits series 4 had alternate Nazi reality, zombie cheerleaders, Greg singing karaoke, and a bunch of other poo poo I remember enjoying at the time. Greg singing karaoke was in one of the two memorable episodes. Rudy falling for the nun. The other being the rabbit at the party. Everything else is either, as has been pointed out, season 3, or boring. I will grant that the current probation worker, Greg, is...truly something else. Edit: Regarding a character's demise I felt things got better once Curtis was axed. The last few episodes of the season were everyone and everything coming together nicely. cool kids inc. fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Dec 5, 2013 |

regulargonzalez posted:Can anyone recommend a show similar to Chuck (or the first 3 seasons of Chuck, I should say). Bonus if it's on Netflix. Looking mostly for that style of comedy with some eye candy and a rather light tone, the action is fine but not necessary but I'm looking for comedy + (other genre), not just a straight sitcom. And ideally hour long episodes, so while otherwise Parks and Rec would kinda fit, it's not quite right. Seconding Warehouse 13 and Psych. Also really want to emphasize that Buffy, while fantastic, is not even remotely Funny + imo. It has some great humor, but that is not a focus at all. If you're feeling quality drama, ask around for the must see episodes of season 1 and then go into season 2. You might also want to consider Monk. I'm pretty sure that's on Netflix, or at least was. Supernatural might work for you, too, in the lighter episodes, if you're itching for a more fantastical show. cool kids inc. fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Dec 5, 2013 |

Oh hey, and I was just talking about another one, and it's on Hulu. Misfits would be an excellent choice. Just bear in mind that holy hell some of the accents are thick, and yes I watched the first season with subtitles on. Kelly is incomprehensible at times (which in my mind adds to the funny). She's like Lady Boomhaur.

precision posted:Wait, why do we hate Felicia Day exactly? The first four or five seasons of The Guild were really good at poking fun at "gamer life" and had a decent cast with above-par writing. I've found that most people who hate Felicia Day (and Chris Hardwick for that matter) fall into two categories- The "Nerd Blackface" people who hate her for the same reason they hate the Big Bang Theory, ie she's not a real nerd and how dare she make money off of the plebes who think she is. The other being the "She's insufferable" crowd, which as far as I can tell means because she references things on the internet and is "twee" she's insufferable. Sure there are the occasional folks out there who just admit she's not their cuppa, for whatever reason, but the seething hatred comes from those two camps.

MrAristocrates posted:I've never really understood Sherlock either. Watson never gets to do anything, which I suppose is accurate to the books but does nothing to make the character interesting. This is particularly funny to me considering the way the first episode ended. You know, with John saving Sherlock in a pretty significant and active way. Or in the second episode of the second season where you learn that he is a hell of a shot even freaking the gently caress out. I mean, yes, for the most part be is a stand in for the audience, be to say he doesn't do anything seems a bit of a stretch.

Biggest OHHOLYSHIT moment for me was "Not Penny's Boat" on Lost. Followed closely by that kid with the flight powers getting Um... Dealt with on misfits. Actually, I just remembered a good one. "Bring it on little girl. Gimme your best shot." followed by a head exploding in season 5 of Angel. Oh and "I'd like to test that theory." in season six of Buffy.

It's official y'all. I'm am old British grandma. I was going through recommended stuff on Netflix, and there, taunting me for ages, has been Midsomer Murders (because I like sherlock). I caved in to watching it the other day, not realizing there are 14 seasons. I think it's awesome. Now, get off my loving lawn, you young bastards.

Pretty Little Liars suffers from loooong seasons. I feel like it would be better if the pacing were tighter or seasons shorter. As much as I didn't mind waiting an entire 22 episode span to find out who A is the first time, the fact that I had that to look forward to two more times just... Put me off it a little. Half the season is completely irrelevant by the time it ends anyway, so why not cut it out and just leave the good stuff?

VDay posted:Oh so it's like Twilight. But for the fact that they don't romanticize it at all, and it's still a bad thing. Twilight puts Edward's behavior as sweet and romantic, PLL shows it for what it is, creepy. Especially with the revelation that (big spoiler from this season) Ezra is big A. That puts a really dark tinge on a pretty important relationship in the series. Also, I remember reading somewhere (likely in this forum) the notion that PLL is the most feminist show on TV, and honestly, I'm having difficulty coming up with a counter. Each girl acts with agency, they have conversations that don't revolve around significant others (though they have those, too, because that is an important part of their lives), they're each completely capable of handling themselves in their own ways. Of course they all have retarded moments, but that's more to do with the fact that it's a mystery show than that they're girls.

I have several counters to this but I'm trying to limit myself to the first two seasons out of respect to the large portion of the board who hasn't seen it yet, so you get our Lestrade, who says that's not our division.  In searching for this I discovered that people have gone apeshit over this two second scene and have various versions with that phrase in different languages. Lestrade eating a baguette, donning a beret with "Pas notre division" for instance. They get weirder when you get into Klingon and Swedish.

Dead Snoopy posted:I have to throw some love towards The Shield's pilot. When you go back, some of the lighting and camera angles look almost from the Bruckheimer school of cinematography and then there's that ending. If it doesn't grab you I suspect you're dead inside. I seriously spent at least 3 years loaning out season 1 on dvd because I kept showing friends that pilot. And the laughs are a mile a minute in that pilot, too. Actually, if we're broadening the scope a little to include dramatic pilots, LOST ( yes, I'm going to keep capitalizing it) has the perfect drama pilot. It has a near impossible task of introducing like a baker's dozen characters, and it manages to do so while confidently planting the seeds for stories for years of content. Close second (and one could make an argument for it being comedy) is Sleepy Hollow. It's exactly the kind of show that it presents itself as in the pilot. Completely batshit crazy with a solid, non romantic chemistry between the two leads and a surprisingly competent second tier cast.

I'm rewatching Angel for the first time since it aired with my boyfriend who hasn't seen much of it. We just finished season 2 and good drat is the Pylea arc good. He was kinda iffy on the series through the end of "Dark but not quite Angelus evil" Angel, and then Cordy got sent to Pylea and it became let's finish the season and start the next one. And the premier of season three ends with such a bomb shell there were jaws hitting floors. The boyfriend keeps talking about how practical Wesley is and how he'll do anything for the greater good, and it's all I can do to not scream "You have no idea how right you are!"

soapgish posted:I started watching to get someone to watch ARROW. The hierarchy of heaven is cool, angelic babe Anna, and how from S04 the show has embraced its schlock origins. And I'm aware of S05 being the Kripke end. Supernatural hits really rough spots in seasons 6 and 7. 8 brings it back to higher quality and 9, so far with the exception of a REAL TANKER of a Dog episode, has been firing on most if not all cylinders. The downside of course being that there's a TREMENDOUS amount of broangst still. Stuff that they were griping and dealing with in season 1, is still being "dealt" with. Plus, they're doing the backdoor pilot to the spinoff in the 20th episode of this season, so there's that to see, too.

Something else to keep in mind for BH US is that Jeremy Carver was show runner for at least the first season, and I think the second. Supernatural stole him back after that, but there was an EXCELLENT base laid and it's been solid the whole time since. I can't help but seeing Aidan the vampire as Agent Ward of SHIELD though and it makes both shows kinda weird.
