It's taken me like a month to get to e7 of Jessica Jones, and the climactic scene... god, what a disappointment. The dialogue was unbelievably bad.

Watched the pilot of Shannara. Once you get over some of the CW/MTV teen drama bullshit, it's pretty watchable.

HIMYM came close at times to giving Lily and Robin funny stuff to do.

I always felt those plots were weak though.

Apparently the season cost $150 mil for 13 episodes so I hope it does very well if they want six seasons.

The $150 mil is for 60, not 13
Yeah neither House of Cards nor Game of Thrones cost that much.

Sometimes hype is right. It is a consistently entertaining show. In many ways it's similar to Northern Exposure, which as I'm sure you remember is a show I will never shut up about the brilliance of.
I always get Northern Exposure confused with Due South.

I actually can't blame NBC for giving Heroes another go, since superhero movies and TV shows have become inescapable ever since the original show got canceled. It would have been nice to see them actually do something different with the genre, or even slightly improve things from the old show. Nope, same old crap. I thought Comcast was going to turn things around at NBC, but it continues to fall flat on its face every season. Meanwhile, Zucker is doing the impossible: under his watch, CNN's viewership numbers have increased. What the hell is going on?

Everyone should be warned that any show that comes from Freeform is really just ABC Family, which is a sign of it not being any good.
Speaking of which, they keep runnning ads for it on the WatchESPN stream for the Australian Open. It never once occurred to me to be an ad for a TV channel, much less ABC Family, and the name Freeform is clearly the result of some marketing exec who doesn't know jack poo poo doing focus groups about millenials and what not.

Lucifer EP is Jerry Bruckheimer. Isn't he the EP for all of the CSI shows? If that's the case good luck thinking it will be anything but a cop procedural with Lucifer helping out.

Carter has gone on record saying he doesn't plan poo poo out. He enjoys making it up as he goes along. That's one reason his Amazon show wasn't picked up. The execs wanted a bible showing where the show was going over 5 seasons. He said no, and they made their decision.
It's almost like he's a poo poo showrunner.

There's an inherent assumption that atheists are also "scientific", and any atheist who doesn't understand the scientific method and why science believes the things it does (this is different from religion's non-evidence-based belief) is an atheist as much as ISIS are Muslims or the Atlanta Olympic bomber is a Christian.

Black Sails has really upped their special effects game this season. The ship stuff has gone from laughable in the first season to movie quality in the third.

Edit: Also a surprising amount of the drama on the show centers around homosexual relationships.

I really liked the first season of The Flash, and I really hate this season so far.

What's the point of Barry's fake girlfriend finding out that he's the flash if they're just going to "break up" and he's going to get a new girlfriend so they can do all the plots where Barry's girlfriend doesn't know he's The Flash AGAIN!!!?!?!?!?! Fuch you show, you loving suck and your writers should feel bad.

I've been trying to figure out which semi-educational stuff is worth getting. So far my list is Cosmos, Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey, The Universe, Amazing Planet, Blue Planet, and Through the Wormhole

They're all crap that a HS teacher might put on a TV, but not bad to veg to. Points for good CG or photography.
Through the wormhole is not just bad, it's bad science.

I've always wondered about that too. @Midnight definitely cuts out jokes as you can see the scores change wildly between cuts sometimes. I assume because some jokes are too dirty to air and whatnot, but if they prewrite most of their material wouldn't those jokes get nixed prior to taping?

It's obviously not entirely improv, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out there's a bit of both going on.
I think it's pretty obvious that jokes are cut for being too poo poo, not too dirty.
