Can the new mod be somebody who never watched Lost? That show has broken too many people to trust its fans to run the asylum.

Mu Zeta posted:The reviews are usually just recaps from what I've seen. And the Todd VanderWiff guy takes Louie way too seriously. I read one review where he spent half of it talking about fighting with his own wife or something. Blargh. I usually like Todd's reviews but that one was just cringeworthy.

-Blackadder- posted:Just blasted through Fargo, holy poo poo that was loving great. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good sit down, serial drama. Longmire is decent. It's not appointment television by any means but the acting is solid, the story is interesting enough and the scenery is pretty. The biggest mark against it is that some of the 'white people dealing with Native Americans' stuff is a bit cringeworthy but overall it's an enjoyable way to spend an hour every week.

Yoshifan823 posted:Is anyone watching this year's Last Comic Standing? There aren't any recognizable names in the contestants, but the judges are Russell Peters, Roseanne Barr and Keenan Ivory Wayans, which is probably the best set of judges the show has ever had LCS has been surprisingly good this season. Most of the contestants have been funny and there haven't really been any gimmick auditions and the judges have been great (Roseanne is actually a good reality show judge...who knew?). I almost didn't bother watching it because the last few seasons that aired were awful but after being off the air for four years this season has been great so far.

X-Files chat was huge when usenet was still a thing people used for having discussions. I wish I still had some of my usenet logs...it was hardly as mainstream as websites so it was the spergiest of the spergs chatting about stuff with predictably hilarious results.

xeria posted:I've never watched Dexter but technically the final (worst) season of The L Word aired (roughly) in the last 5 years and I feel pretty confident in saying that it was probably worse than Dexter. The final season of The L Word was dire but it wasn't close to being as bad as Dexter's final season. If you're looking for something worse than Dexter we have two shows ending in the coming season that have the potential: Sons of Anarchy and Glee.

Bown posted:I mean....VDW does call Justin Theroux's character "compelling". I was kind of joking because I knew it would get a reaction out of people but on the other hand I wasn't because I'm completely baffled by the glowing reviews from critics I usually have a lot of respect for (like TVDW and Alan Sepinwall). I also don't consider myself a bitter LOST fan (I bailed early in the third season but I don't harbor resentment towards Lindelof or anything like that).

Dead Snoopy posted:First season has it's problems if you come for the possible Entourage-lite drama and can't get into the molestation story of the brothers but once Jon Voight & James Woods meet face to face it becomes electric. Ray Donovan would be a much better show if it focused on his business where he runs around cleaning up after Hollywood fuckups. The family stuff is dragging the whole show down.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Is it still less about him "fixing" problems and more about stupid family drama? Because I really hated that(except Jon Voight who owns). It's about 95% family drama and 5% cleaning up after Hollywood fuckups. It's so frustrating because there are tiny glimmers of a great show that are completely overshadowed by cringeworthy family bullshit.

DrVenkman posted:Season 2 is largely pretty good (though a bit trashy) stuff. But man, Sutter just loves violence for the sake of violence. Usually I'm fine with something like that, if it's on a show that isn't taking itself too seriously (Like Strike Back for instance), but when Sons does this gruesome violence and pretends it has a point it just exposes it for the ugly show that it is. Last season with the School shooting is the best example of that. You take a loving school shooting and do nothing with it other than to just say "Violence maaaaan, it's all around us." The entire school shooting was just so that the DA could come at the club for selling guns (because there is a long running plotline about the club trying to get out of the gun business). Sutter could have used any other crime involving guns to achieve the same effect but of course he didn't because he's a hack.

So the goon who went on Millionaire walked away with $63k, a shirt that he sweated through, three passionate hugs with Terry Crews and one really awkward hug with the friend he brought with him as a lifeline. I'm calling it a success.

I'm still at the end of the fifth episode, but I've been holding off until the weekend because once I start one episode I blink and its six hours later and I know a shitload about the Square Deal. These people were amazing. It was really fantastic. I loved how they were able to effortlessly balance the huge impact the Roosevelts had on history while making their private lives just as compelling. It's probably Burns' best documentary.

I never feel compelled to get around to watching Amazon shows because I pay the yearly Prime fee and kind of forget about it. I only subscribe to Netflix when new seasons of OitNB or House of Cards get released and then I cancel it after I binge them. I still haven't watched Alpha House and I probably won't get to Transparent soon because there are so many other shows to watch at the moment. I also agree that the Amazon interface is awful.
