Lurdiak posted:Season 2 of Broadchurch would be a lot better if it wasn't for these two morons from the previous case who keep standing around dramatically, yelling, and having angry sex. I keep hoping the one that's obviously the murderer kills the other so they'll be in fewer scenes. I skipped the second season of Broadchurch entirely when the murderer from the first season plead not guilty in the trial. Third season was okay though.

DC Murderverse posted:no one has posted the Ringer article about best TV episodes in here? Discuss away! Where the gently caress is Veronica Mars? I'm not sure if the Justified episode they chose was the best (I think Decoy is better), but it was from the best season. And I'm not sure if they got the right episode of The Americans.

I liked their list of irrational number one episodes more. In part because it meant on his podcast today talking about the main list I got to hear Bill Simmons try to pronounce Haruhi Suzumiya, which was an adventure.

Rhyno posted:There's that short bit with Walter and Peter on the street, and Walter tells Peter he remembers everything from the previous timeline and they hug and that payoff was so wonderful. It did such a good job of paying off everything from "Astrid is a beautiful name" to the white tulip at the end. If you were even slightly invested in the show it was very rewarding, and makes the room dusty

You've got the rise of "alternative", Nirvana and the whole Seattle scene, NIN, loving Radiohead, GnR, Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, The motherfucking Tragically Hip.

Wheat Loaf posted:You had Justified, you have Get Shorty, so my question is, where's the Elmoreverse, tv? Justified was the closed to an Elmoreverse show since it was by far and away the longest lived and had the most time to mine Leonard's catalog. The problem is that the rights to Leonard's books are all over the place, which is what lead to Gugino playing Karen "Goodall" or Stephen Root's Mike Reardon being a reskinned Maximum Bob.

Wheat Loaf posted:I finished Justified the other day. It was good. Maybe ranks in my 10 favourites all round, maybe a few places above Miami Vice. You could probably make a pretty good show around Harry Arno's character trying to scrape by as an aging bookie in Miami without adapting either Pronto or Riding the Rap.

Rhyno posted:Uhhhhh And original flavor BSG had Mr. Bonanza himself Lorne Greene too. However, aside from the episode with the gunslinging Cylon, the Western flavor of BSG was drowned out by its disco trappings, and urge to mimic every genre of movie under the sun. Firefly, by contrast, was almost painfully overt in its Western in Space setting. The show had a high-low approach to technology that probably felt unique to a lot of people. For instance, Mal doesn't have a ray gun, he carries a six shooter (that might be a ray gun, but it looks like a six shooter), the costumes all looked more appropriate or a Western, there were even literal cows. It was a very steampunk sensibility, for better or worse. So no, it certainly wasn't the first Western, but Space, but it was probably the loudest about it. Personally i wouldn't mind a Firefly reboot, the universe itself was pretty interesting which a modern take would probably do better justice (*cough*Asianrepresentation*cough*) than Whedon either could in 2002 or was interested in doing, and there was a ton of the world left unexplored, but I also don't really care about a continuation of the original show. howe_sam fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Oct 7, 2018 |

How about we do a double header and relaunch Timecop, the series based on a movie? Alan Sepinwall has been clamoring for a Jennifer Garner lead Quantum Leap reboot so much he actually asked Garner about it when he interviewed her for Camping.
