I forgot how passionate it makes me feel.

Shirtless dudes fighting to the death is what does it for you, eh.

[brawndolicious]

Yes it makes me actually want to list weights. I mean I think I kinda am pretty enough for sure but the blood and whips are pretty hot.

Last two episodes of archer of been great.  I really hope Kreigers clones are the bad guys for next season. 

[Beezy]

Anyone else here watch Orphan Black? I just binge watched the first season in two days. Can't wait for the second to start.

[Tasty]

Yeah. I liked the first season, but I have an uneasy feeling. There's so much potential to just go off the tracks into batshit-loonyville. As long as s2 keeps things moving while still staying somewhat grounded it should be pretty exciting.

[Beezy]

True. I'm hoping they have a story in place and aren't just making it up as they go.

[benjipwns]

Silicon Valley was pretty good.

Everything about the guy who gave the TED Talk.

Marathoned all of Rick and Morty

I love it, It's awesome and I want more. This show blends Adult Swim humor and visuals with actual storytelling and memorable characters. Watching the world grow with each episode and knowing that there are actual overarching consequences to the events of an episode is fucking great. That't not really something you see in many of adult swim comedies. The music is great as well!

[ZephyrFate]

Re: Orphan Black "worries". The directors have had 3 seasons of Orphan Black plotted out for 10 years now. Tatiana Maslany and the crew will not disappoint.

Yup, it's hard to talk about Rick and Morty without coming across like an overbearing a-hole, but it really is the best comedy of the past few years. full stop.

I still wouldn't say it's a show that relies on callbacks, but it's great at calling up random easter eggs that draw meaning from previous episodes. One's that at the time just felt like random shenanigans that were just there to make you chuckle.

[CatsCatsCats]

Huh. I caught one episode, (where the kid has a sex robot that turns out to be a reproduction machine) and didn't think it was all that great. All the characters seemed written super shallow. Maybe I should try from episode 1.

[etiolate]

rick and morty is great

just keep watching episodes


I love how Space Dandy and R&M take the multiple worlds premise to its ends.

[Tasty]

Silicon Valley was pretty good.

FASCIST!

[TVC15]

This season's RuPaul's Drag Race is fuck awesome.

[CatsCatsCats]

I really like Venture Bros, haven't seen the latest season tho, good?

[CatsCatsCats]

Adult Swim style humor

Venture Bros is definitely on a whole different level than say ATHF or something like that if that's what you're thinking.

[Mandark]

I didn't think anyone on this board would need to be told about the Venture Brothers.

Definitely one of those shows that takes a while to get its footing.  The last few episodes of the first season are good, and watching the second season as it came out is one of my favorite TV-viewing experiences of all time.  A really fun and oddly ambitious show, and pretty high production values for something that's a two-man labor of love.

[Stoney Mason]

I love Rick and Morty. And the adult swim thing is a misnomer. I'm generally not a fan of what you would call "Adult Swim" humour.

That just happens to be the network its on.

[etiolate]

What we mean is that Rick and Morty isn't Robot Chicken.

[Madrun Badrun]

Last Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D was good.  It feels like they were stalling for half a season just to do the CA2 cross over event stuff.  At least it is interesting now.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

The first episode of the fifth season of Justified was great.  The biggest downside was the retconning that went on with the Crowes but since I'm not a canon obsessed nerd, who gives a shit.  Tramp stamps, bare chick asses, and people getting their shit ruined, a great start to hopefully a great season

Just watched the season finale.  Best season of the show yet.  The only issue I had with the season was that:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ava didn't get shanked in the prison.  Seemed like a lot of buildup over what turned out to be nothing.

[close]

They're setting the sixth/final season up well.  Can't wait!

[CatsCatsCats]

Speaking of captain America 2, how do they justify not just calling a better super hero? Are they all on vacation?

[Madrun Badrun]

The justification is RDJ can't make an iron movie twice a year and Fox owns the Xmen.

[Tasty]

Hulk wouldn't work since presumably Banner is off in a jungle isolating himself.

Thor's smanging Natalie Portman in alien norse heaven.

Iron Man isn't Iron Man as of IM3.

Black Widow plays a huge role in the movie.

The only question mark is Hawkeye. Not even a throwaway line as to what he's up to.

[etiolate]

I thought the Justified season was just merely okay. It was all one long setup episode. Favorite user comment on the season was "This season sucks. The only thing Raylan killed was the pool."

Man, I was hoping this was a sitcom about two upper class Communists' misadventures in 1840s Belgium.

[CatsCatsCats]

Speaking of captain America 2, how do they justify not just calling a better super hero? Are they all on vacation?

Because if Iron Man or Thor just showed up and one-shotted the Winter Soldier, there wouldn't be a movie?

Obviously, what I was asking is how they explain that away

Why do they need to though, it makes heros look weak.

Captain America:  I got this shit
Fury:  Well how about we just give Iron Man a ring, just to see...hmmm busy
Captain America: Just tell me what I need to do.
Fury:  THOR!  CAN YOU HEAR ME UP THERE!...well shit
Captain America: ....
Black Widow: You know Banner is on some new meds, maybe...
 

[CatsCatsCats]

Captain America sucks

Spoken like a man who hasn't seen The Winter Soldier

Adult Swim style humor

venture brothers is alrigh. aquateen wasa cool for a bit but turned to sahit and sealab was bnad

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

The good Adult Swim shows are usually only good for 3 seasons max.  Once you dry up that well of wacky, zany humor, you either have to recycle or crank the wackiness up to 11, which usually fails.  Most Adult Swim shows aren't even good for one episode.

It explains why Archer started falling apart in Season 3 since it's pretty much an Adult Swim show.

[StealthFan]

vicoden for kidnet stone pain

[benjipwns]

FASCIST!

You know, for a guy who's supposed to be supersmart the PiedPiper kid didn't seem to realize that $200,000 for 5% is probably a better deal than $300,000 for 10%. Since he already has what I would assume is the hard part of the software created and his friends are seemingly willing to work for stock options.

Erlich seemed to understand the longer term value of holding 10%.

[Tasty]

Honestly the kid was a dope for not taking the $10 mil. That's like, $9 mil for himself for not even doing a "startup." Just the algorithm he wrote himself, basically. I'd take that $9 mil and reinvest it in something else and get even richer.

[Kshow]

My opinion on it is... His intelligence may be geared toward one thing. Maybe math aint his thang. Idk. lol   And the not tain the money. For some people it's not all about the money. If I had the chance to get a lil cash, and retain control. Why the fuck would that not be the best bet. Especially since you know it's a hot product.

[Tasty]

It's a hot product because 99% of it is speculation.

Once he starts putting a team together and reality sets in, both for them and investors, the asking price is going to go down. In most cases, as soon as a product materializes the valuation tanks. He had a 100% chance to get $10 mil for no work but decided it was better to put a lot of work into trying chase after the 5% chance he could make out better than that. Someone who was actually good at math would realize those odds.

For me, it's a no brainer. It's the difference between being handed a gold bar on a silver platter and climbing up a mountain for a lottery ticket.

[brawndolicious]

Well that wouldn't make for a very interesting show.

[Tasty]

Well that wouldn't make for a very interesting show.

Lol duh. Idiots making dumb decision is comedy. I'm just saying, kid wasn't very smart.

[etiolate]

sweet jebus @ that Vikings ending

[Tasty]

Some people actually want to start a company for the sake of starting a company, Vestal.

Who's this Vestal person?

And the show didn't do a great job of portraying him as that kind of person, if that was indeed the case.

[CatsCatsCats]

He thinks you're Andrew Vestal because he's a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

Review is the funniest shit on TV right now

Justified final season is lookin like its gonna be good! Settin it up for a final showdown!

[TVC15]

No contest. The Wire

I still can't get into the Wire  

[CatsCatsCats]

Was catching up on the current season of Rupaul's Drag Race last night, fucking brilliant to split them into two groups to manufacture instant drama once they're combined

[Madrun Badrun]

No contest. The Wire

I still can't get into the Wire  

Shame on you.

[Phoenix Dark]

No contest. The Wire

racist

[TVC15]

I don't like Game of Thrones either.  I tried   I did watch more Wire (1 season) than I did GoT (1 episode) though, so that has to make me less racist.

[Madrun Badrun]

Pretty sure if we were to resurrect Jefferson Davis, he would have a similar stance on the two shows.  So I don't know how much reduction of racism this preference provides you.

[CatsCatsCats]

I got two more invites to my private tracker I use, Beezy already got one, who wants the other?

[Dickie Dee]

Still haven't watched Venture Bros. yet

Actually I watched the first few episodes a while back and it just wasn't clicking.

(This is my secret tv shame)

[Dickie Dee]

I got two more invites to my private tracker I use, Beezy already got one, who wants the other?

oohh oooh oohh!!!

What relatively new shows do you like?

What time span?  Wire and GoT are pretty much the only big prestige shows that I don't really like.  Also, I should say I didn't hate the Wire, but I never really felt an urge to go back to it.  I guess I'm not too keen on Mad Men, either, but the period piece aspect kept me going for 2 seasons.  I really hate Don Draper.

[CatsCatsCats]

I call dibs on next time Spence gets invites.

For sure. Also, some of these guys I've invited should probably have invites by now

[Dickie Dee]

Spencer

[Phoenix Dark]

doesn't like The Wire or Mad Men? leper this filth
