Hey guys, I'm glad this thread is back. After doing the week to week thing for the first five episodes of Orphan Black this season, I've decided to wait until they're all released and binge at the end of the season. This weekly wait thing is killing me. Netflix (and all the streaming services) has completely ruined the way I watch TV.

Also I'm doubleposting for more awesome news. Vincent D'Onofrio was just cast as Kingpin in the Daredevil series in one of the most genius casting moves I've seen in a long time.

Holy poo poo. That's awesome news. I'm really looking forward to the Netflix series. If they keep up the casting/writer quality, they're going to be pretty great.

Hey it's not all bad. Scandal and Supernatural gained quite a few key demo viewers. Particularly interesting because Supernatural is starting season 10 this year. But mostly that's a horror show, and hilarious. Whoever renewed Glee for 2 seasons last year must be kicking themselves.

Why do people bold the titles of stuff. CD's got that guy who puts the release year after every movie he talks about.

Distinction I presume, and the release year is handy sometimes for films like Robocop where there have been two with the same name.

Yes, I'm about 8 minutes into this episode and I'm not feeling it, so I did something amazing: I turned it off. I figure it can't bother you if you don't watch it.

By the way, this is happening in the Fall / Dibs thread:

Ah yes, the absolutely outstanding quality of Downton Abbey.

Which is a very pretty to look at, overwrought soap opera. Quality. Right up there with the Anime.

Today in "holy poo poo DC slow the gently caress down" news, Fox has made a pilot commitment for a Lucifer series from Californication's Tom Kapinos.

Nope none of this slowing down business. The more of this we can get, the more I'm down. What do you think it'd take for Mark Pellegrino to take on a different Lucifer?

Actually Season 4 of Angel and Season 7 of Buffy were in lockstep as one group fought Ultimate Good and other fought Ultimate Evil. Some really clever dialogue choices reinforced that.

Ahem, actually :goonsay:

There was a direct crossover in Buffy's penultimate episode. Angel brought the necklace he received from Wolfram and Hart for reasons I don't remember to Buffy to help in her apocalypse. He is present and helpful before Buffy takes it and then gives him the half baked cookie dough speech. She gave it to Spike, who as a direct result is brought over to Angel the show.

Well this is stellar news. I'm super pleased to hear this as the only thing I've really missed after cutting the cord has been hbo. The price model will be interesting. I'm guessing the other premium networks will follow suit if/when it's a success.

Well, if Robin's parents are the same age (or even closeish) as Bruce, I'd really be shocked if that were the case.

I've just about finished getting caught up on The Fall, and I don't know if there's ever been a tv show character before that's just made my skin crawl as much as Paul Spector.

Indeed, and not that I was particularly interested in it before, but this role has pretty much guaranteed I won't be seeing 50 shades. It's hard enough to watch that guy in anything else, but Sexy McHotguy will be impossible without serious creepy crawlies.

Aaaalright, a bit hot headed there aren't you? I just said why I'm not too into a particular type of show, and you throw obscure English insults at me?!?!?! Swear like an American why don't you.

EDIT: But the long and short of it is that I'm tired of and uninterested in seeing the murder of women as a concept of a show without actually exploring them as characters in their own right, and the murders actually being interesting in a larger societal/thematic context. That's the crux of it, when there's already so much good TV I'm missing already.

I feel like The Fall does an excellent job exploring women, or rather one in particular. Gillian Anderson is phenomenal and not just another hard boiled bitchcop.

Series 2 of Broadchurch starts next week Monday. Very curious where they go.

I'm at a bit of a loss considering how the first series ended. I mean, they're both out and done, right? I thought that was the whole point of the ending. Did Tennant's character lie about getting surgery to feel better? Is it going to be revealed the Miller went nuts after the reveal at the end of the first series and started murdering kids herself? Is Rory the Roman Catholic finally going to realize there's something familiar about the way that detective acts?
