Finished the first season of Party Down. This'll probably end up as my most favorite comedy ever.

Season 2 is so far awesome too. Only complaint is that I much preferred Jane Lynch to Megan Mullally. Guess she was too busy stackin' it to the ceiling with Glee.

The book Job episode of The Simpsons was really good. Gaiman makes everything better.

Regarding Black Mirror ep1, the only thing I disagree with

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't believe that the girl would not have been found in the middle of central London in the afternoon, a half hour before the indecent act was performed. Everyone would not be glued to Tv sets just to watch a man pork a pig, regardless of who he is. People would have found her, called the police and prevented the act from taking place.

The writers killed Jimmy off well before the finale by making him such an unbelievably irrational character. He's an intelligent and educated man mentored by a clever and sophisticated politician, yet his behavior is usually reckless and irrational. Often his thought-process seems calculated and logical, but his actions rarely are.* This is explained away somewhat in the flashbacks during the mother-fucking penultimate episode, but not convincingly--that could have messed him up but it shouldn't have made him this stupid.

*A person can be highly rational yet act irrationally--there's not contradiction. But the gap between the two seems too wide.

As a side-note, the foreshadowing in the episode was a bit ham-fisted (especially Manny's monologue at the synagogue [word choice is ham-fisted on purpose]).

Homeland

I'm in LOVE with Homeland right now. I don't even want to waste time speculating at this point -- just enjoying the ride.

So how good is Boardwalk Empire? I wasn't sold on Buscemi in that role after the pilot, and at the time I wasn't in the mood for another mob series having recently finished The Sopranos, but now I'm running out of new stuff to watch

I watched the BE S1 finale finally, and it was pretty average. I just don't care about anyone on this show. I'll give S2 a shot as people seem to be saying it's much better, and I want to see the context for some of the spoilers I've run across thanks to social media

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #3812 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:47:54 PM »

Been watching Doctor Who and I really like the feel of it in Series 2 versus Series 1. Its just more... dark.

Yep. He seems a little more goofier than series 1 Doctor but the general feel of the episodes are definitely darker.

Just wait till you get to season 3.

I prefer Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor but Tennant is great and I love Stone.

Just watched "The Impossible Planet". Absolutely amazing episode. Are there any more like it in the later seasons? I love the subject it dealt with and how even the Doctor was left puzzled by "its" presence.

Marathoned through the first 8 episodes of Homeland today without even realizing I had watched that much. Fucking great show. Claire Danes is a pretty fantastic lead and the show itself is gripping and entertaining. There are some 24-esque twists like (ep7 spoiler)

Walker being alive/the turned soldier

, which kind of rub me the wrong way but it's still a damn good show.

Time to go through the last three episodes, then the long wait until Sunday.

Claire Danes might be the best actress I've run across in a show in some time. She's amazing on Homeland, and just as importantly her character is well written/thought out.

Yeah, Homeland is good. Watched like 8-9 episodes over the weekend.

Futurama

got hooked on this after watching random eps that play constantly on comedy central in early afternoon. shame i never gave it a chance before because i associated it with family guy and their ilk for whatever reason. it gets me for the same reasons Venture Bros does, except i love every main character equally

are the movies any good? a co worker said they are but then again she liked the last airbender, so....

Damn, I really liked the second episode of Black Mirror. Pretty different in tone from the first story with a more cold, far future sci-fi take on a digital future where people have pretty much become slaves to advertising, reality shows, avatars, and pornography.

EDIT: Wait. There's only going to be three episodes? :'(

I saw the first two episodes and kind of forgot about it. The two that I saw with Liam Neeson and Johnny Depp were pretty funny (Liam's attempt at being a comedian is classic). Now that most of the comedy shows I watch are on hiatus for the rest of the year I'll start catching up with it.
