Rocksicles posted:I just rewatched the triple episode arc in Stargate Atlantis from 3x20-4x01-4x02. It always blows me away, some of the best hard sci-fi going imo. I love the SG franchise, but there is nothing hard SF in it. It's pretty straight Space Opera, with magic tech and human one-trait-one-culture aliens. But the episodes you mention were really outstanding. This makes me wish SGU had gotten another season. It became so good.

Mu Zeta posted:Are there procedurals that don't involve cops/lawyers/doctors? All these authority goups (and I count PIs, nurses, superhero/supernatural detectives/police as such) make it easy to write a procedural, because you simply have an easy excuse for a "case of the week". But sure, there were others too - Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Alphas, Leverage, Burn Notice for example. Currently I can't think of any still airing that don't revolve around some sort of authority agency/group.

Aphrodite posted:HIMYM's ending is built over the entire show and it fits the narrative perfectly. Sure, if you ignore everything after season 2, especially the last two seasons when they spent hours on showing us how good a pairing Robin and Barney are, and how it's ~~TRUE LOVE~~. I think it was Sepinwall how said, it was a finale for people who only watched the first season. And would only have worked if they had cast a far worse and less likeable actress as mother.

muscles like this? posted:I was watching old episodes of Bones on TNT and I realized I somehow missed a plot point. After the whole arc of Zach and the Gormagon they did the whole thing where Zach was in a mental institution but still helping out but in later seasons they don't mention it or him at all. It was simply dropped. IIRC the actor who played Zach left the series because the traveling was too much or something other shooting related.

IRQ posted:God drat it Clarkson, can't you just stick to the casual racism? Shoddy reporting. quote:in the Christmas Special he said a bridge they'd built in Argentina wasn't straight because it "had a slope on it" when an Asian man walked over it, a wink-and-nudge-to-the-camera act of offensiveness that was swiftly punished by OFCOM; Everyone knows that wasn't in the Argentina special of 2014, it was the Burma special in 2013 at the river Kwai. 2014 was when he allegedly used the n-word in his counting rhyme. I take my casual racism by Clarkson seriously.

Wheat Loaf posted:My favourite factoid about Clarkson is that he's ardently pro-EU but everyone thinks he must be dyed-in-the-wool UKIP. Except for his casual racism, misogyny, transphobia and disdain/apathy about climate change (which all are probably more a generational thing than outright malice) I think nearly everything of his outrageous stuff is simply a persona is very well paid to play in newspapers and on TV. Like most comedians are at most an exaggerated persona of themselves, often a totally different in RL. The problem with it is that he gives others the impression that it is ok to be such an shithead, since at worst he gets a slap on the wrist.

Rarity posted:For those of you who gave up on Gotham early the show you all knew that Barbara was absolutely awful in every capacity. Well, the show has managed to rehabilitate her If you have a character nobody likes (while we're supposed to do so) and who drags the show down you have two options: Write the character out (for example kill Fish Mooney) or make him/her a villain. With the latter you still can kill her later on.

GreenNight posted:iZombie has gotten an early season 2 renewal. That's great news, love the show. muscles like this? posted:The Mindy Project was canceled. I liked it, not so much to be really sad, since the thing had already used 12 of its 9 lives anyway. xeria posted:I wonder if that might spell similar trouble for Elementary on CBS, since TVBTN's sole reasoning for it getting a guaranteed renewal was for much the same reason as Mindy Project's. (Granted different networks and all, but if the "automatic 4th season renewal" logic wasn't in play, Elementary would probably be on the same rung as H50.) Don't scare me, we can't lose Elementary already. Such a good show. Decius fucked around with this message at 06:57 on May 7, 2015 |

lelandjs posted:Okay but what about all the sitcoms that have failed because they got bad ratings or reviews? You can ask that about any genre. Are dramas dying because more than 50 % of the new ones presented have failed? No, because that's what happens pretty much every year. Sitcoms probably have a better hit:miss ratio than dramas if anything (because they are cheaper to produce and easy to sell as schedule filler).

Mu Zeta posted:Watching Blindspot and the cops just took images of all her tattoos. So I guess she won't ever be naked on the show again. With a 9h makeup-session for the full bodyshots she pretty sure won't be (network) naked or even bare-armed very often I'd wager.

Rarity posted:From what I saw, Supergirl is the superhero show that Hollywood thinks women want to watch. I suspect Jessica Jones will be the superhero show that women actually want to watch. The source material is amazing, the lead actress is quality, the released promos imply a disturbing and adult tone and Daredevil was fantastic. I think all the pieces are in place for it to be just as good as its stablemate. Women aren't a solid block of likes and dislikes and both Supergirl and Jessica Jones can both get a part of the female audience. Lois & Clark, Smallville had a sizeable share of female fans, so I don't think Supergirl is designed outside the target audience any more than Jessica Jones is. I'm sure there are also many women (and men), who will watch both. Enough people watch both Gotham and Flash which tonally (and at least season 1 qualitywise) are pretty much the opposite end of the superhero series offerings.
