So anyway…the ending of Lost sucked, but the ending of Battlestar Galactica was awesome. Adventure Time is too complex for its audience, unlike Game of Thrones Also...the ending of Battlestar Galactica sucked, but the ending of Lost was awesome.

"Heroes Reborn" should be set in the dystopian future where Peter left his Irish girlfriend. Anything else is bullshit.

Nthing the Utopia recommendation. It looks beautiful, the sound design and music is great, the characters are interesting, and the Sinister Global Plot actually makes sense.

The Leftovers is loving terrible. The direction sucks, the cinematography is perfunctory, the music cues are clunky, and the actors sure do get a paycheck. The central mystery adds absolutely nothing to the plot and barely rises to the level of Macguffin. If the story involved a plane crash or a tornado it would be exactly the same, only the tepid drama and tedious characters would be even more obvious so they throw a scifi tarp over the whole mess. If you try to examine that mystery you're a goony sperglord and should focus on the characters. If you focus on the clichęd characters and their awful dialogue, you're knitpicking and should consider their context in the bigger picture, which if you examine at all, makes you a goony sperglord. It's a shell game with a turd.

Bown posted:I agree with a lot of what you say but it really has been made insanely clear that nobody should be focusing on the mystery because they don't plan on explaining it ever. The second is there are different kinds of mysteries, different ways to not explain them, and different people to not explain them too. Given that it's fiction, any deterministic explanation is it ultimately going to be meaningless, so there's no problem with not explaining that to the audience, but shouldn't the characters be a little more concerned?

I like Continuum, but it definitely has that mid 90s, syndicated, late-night feel to it.

The Walking Dead is hamstrung by its focus on Rick Grimes. It's amazing how much the show improves when he's off-screen or unconscious or something.

Black Jesus and Garfunkel & Oates are good and have potential but seem a bit dated. Garfunkel & Oates especially feels like a Tenacious D analogue.ShakeZula posted:Can a show as raunchy as Garfunkel & Oates really be considered twee? Micucci could certainly qualify on her own, but the show itself doesn't really fit the description to me. Compared to Broad City, Garfunkel & Oates are non-forum-poster twee as gently caress.
