Ugly In The Morning posted:Do yourself a favor and stop watching at the halfway point of the series finale. I had loved S4 up to that point and it was doing a lot of cool stuff but it farted itself to death right at the finish line. Ugly In The Morning posted:The last hour or so of the finale felt like they had a bunch of stuff to wrap up and nowhere near enough time to do it, so they just pulled out a checklist and knocked things off borderline spitefully. It reminded me of the patton oswalt bit about the magician who took the stage after being stiffed five bucks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVR9mU1ojoc Assepoester fucked around with this message at 11:52 on May 12, 2021 |

To be fair, LOST filming in Hawaii is 90% of the reason why it looked so good. If someone finds a reason to set a show on a tropical island that isn't just cops/PIs maybe they can recapture some of that magic.

X-O posted:I get the point about children being fed the wrong messages when they are young but that doesn't just apply to the morality of cop shows or even TV in a broader sense. I don't care who you are, you're indoctrinated as a child with some kind of wrong message. Everyone is. The point is that you grow up learn it's either wrong or a fantasy. I can easily enjoy cop shows because I know they're not real and I don't need them to be real. Sure it's great that some do reflect reality but I'm a grown person that enjoys entertainment as just that sometimes. I can enjoy Brooklyn Nine-Nine just as much as I can enjoy watching something like Friday The 13th. Doesn't mean I'm pro hockey masked killers at summer camps butchering teenagers. The same goes for your favorite cop show.

Big Mean Jerk posted:R&M is one of those shows where the fandom (and one of the creators) has just completely poisoned the well for me.

As they say, ignorance is bliss But perhaps there's something there about how a good chunk of the audience simply see the show as just a more violent Simpsons/Family Guy sitcom, and don't engage with it on any other level than that (and indeed could not be expected to when they're kids), while at the same time the whole "nihilistic atheistic supergenius supersciences his way out of all problems" undercurrent of the show attracts en-masse the exact type of reactionary would-be goon who throws tantrums in public over fast food sauce. It's very much a case of looking into a mirror and not liking what you see. Assepoester fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jun 22, 2021 |

They actually succeed in their revolution this time but then Sean Bean uses his Trumpian cult of personality and his willingness to press the red button that kills everyone to sabotage the new order. Both the movie and TV show are based on a couple of comic books so I assume there's plenty of material to cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzzzJOHGwtU Assepoester fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jul 30, 2021 |

Hakkesshu posted:Has anyone seen or even heard of Motherland Fort Salem? The synopsis says ""An army of witches train to combat terrorist threats" which I would assume would at least be entertaining in a stupid way but this is literally the first I've ever heard of it. zoux posted:It's....weird. It's very much a show aimed at tween/younger teen girls, but it's also about graphic depictions of battlefield trauma where these witch cadets are thrown into meat grinder situations. So, you'll have an episode where all the boys from the Boys Witch Academy go to the Girls Witch Academy for a sexy dance but the B-plot is about one of the cadets getting resurrected through necromancy and tortured for information. I watched about half of the first season, it's not great but it's better than you would think. It's like Full Metal Jacket mixed with Step Up. ![]() This is the greatest promotional poster ever made

WhiteHowler posted:Lost clones are BACK, baby! Alcatraz was bad. The Event was so bonkers and insane it seemed to be that these NBC showrunners were aware they were never going to get a second season anyway so they just end it in the most amazing "paint yourself into a corner" way possible. It's hilarious. It's also the least like LOST because it answers all its mysteries in the most nuts manner possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdKkbA5P5qI Assepoester fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Aug 29, 2021 |

My favorite thing about Lost was when a character would get some much needed development in the flashback as usual so you think you finally know what they're about but then the actor gets arrested for a DUI and then we get another flashback that undoes all that development and it turns out that no, they were actually a real poo poo and then they die.Chairman Capone posted:It's maybe not quite a Lost clone but there was the Syfy miniseries/backdoor pilot Ascension from a few years ago, premised on the idea that JFK secretly had a generation ship launched towards Alpha Centauri, but the culture onboard remains in the 1960s, so it was very obviously "Mad Men in space".

Alias is going to give you a lot of "extremely made after 9/11" vibes but for the first couple seasons it remains pretty solid. https://ew.com/article/2003/02/07/behind-alias-shocking-super-bowl-sunday-revamp/ Once the double agent stuff stops (ABC execs presumed that the mass football audience they were trying to attract by putting jennifer garner in lingere in their superbowl spot wouldn't understand such complex ideas as "spying for someone while pretending to spy for someone else") you'll notice it starts sliding.

GreenNight posted:Are there any shows like Burn Notice in anymore? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPOeC78AV4M Ugly In The Morning posted:It did feel like the seasonal villain stuff got bigger each season and it’s why I fell off at/after S4. The small scale stuff was so much more fun. Khanstant posted:Fuckin Netflix, people give it poo poo for cancelling shows after two seasons, but maybe they should have a mandate to auto-greenlight 2 seasons of anything they make. Watched a show last night "Nobody's Looking." It looked dumb the first time I tried watching and I bounced off, but this time I actually really enjoyed it. It was a fun take on angels and stuff, I love a metaphysical bureaucracy. Assepoester fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Sep 14, 2021 |
