The TV shows you've seen recently thread.

[Eel O'Brian]

You know what show had the hottest cast of all time?  Friday Night Lights.

G.L.O.W.

[TVC15]

True story:  I cried during that GLOW documentary.

[Eel O'Brian]

Little Egypt is still hot as hell

[Madrun Badrun]

sheild was good

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Signing in with my obligatory weekly "FARGO IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD" post.

[Raban]

"Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color?" and the final shot... this show is after my heart I swear

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Also omg that opening sequence and the link it implies between the series and the movie.

Man, Billy Bob really killed it in that episode too. Such good TV.

[ZephyrFate]

I finished Friday Night Lights over the past few weeks and found it solidly B-grade. Also, the hottest person on that show was definitely Luke Cafferty. Followed by Coach Taylor.

[ZephyrFate]

also Courtney Act is fucking amazing and it's really only the editing that makes her look bad.

[Himu]

Caught up on Arrow last night.

S2 starts out slow. But it is better than season 1. Has better highs and one of the best developed villains on TV in recent memory.

[Phoenix Dark]

Let me guess, he used to be Arrow's best friend but is now his enemy. So predictable, fellas.

[Himu]

The flashbacks are garbage tho

Agreed. Ever since Slade found out that Oliver had a choice it has been straight up filler ville.

The two season build up between the conflict of Arrow and Death stroke has been phenomenal. Wiki more, po-boy.

I'm right? I guessed that shit, didn't wiki

[Himu]

ESCH. You lied to me. You said Thea would be more tolerable in s2. I still think she's a total distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

Also Bitch With Wifi would be a great username. Felicity

[Himu]

Yeah, they weren't best friends at all.

[Himu]

Oliver fucking Shado made no sense to me anyways. S1 stare at picture of girlfriend he cheated on, s2 immediately start fucking Shado. It is like every girl on the show except Felicity, and his sister, is one of Oliver's ex girlfriends. STOP IT!!!

need some suggestions on what to watch while working next.  whatever is on netflix or amazon instant, simpler is better.  I think something like house of cards would be too much of a distraction.  I'm considering 24 but it's 8 seasons without including the new episodes.

for now I've started rewatching Arrow on netflix after himuro talked about it, but I'd rather watch something new.  two things:  oliver's actor was so much worse, and oliver chokes diggle out and it's never brought up again.

[Himu]

I'm thinking of watching 24 too but I dunno. Put The Shield on Netflix, fucks.

If we start on 24 together we can shit on it together and make PD . I say we go with that.

[Himu]

Yeah. I think I'm going to go for 24 while finishing off TNG rewatch.

I don't know if I want to go with 24 yet.  another reason is I tried watching it maybe a decade ago when a friend lend me the dvds.  couldn't get into it back then.

The Shield was another show I was thinking about.  people talk about it like it's a quality show so I might want to watch it during free time, not in some side window.

When you're about to die youll fuck anyone. He should

have turned her down though. But he did develop feelings for her during their training. Nothing crazy about that. I thought that was evident from the beginning. Youre right about all the girls crushing in him being annoying though.  But I guess thats the show. He is a playboy good looking billionaire, no manilow.

yeah, she trained him and was the first person on the island to show compassion.  yao fei and slade trained him with a sink or swim mentality.  Slade, otoh, has a family off the island and is a grown man.

[close]

[Himu]

I didn't watch 24 back in the day because I was too busy with chappelle, pimp my ride, the osbournes,  and real world.

[Reb]

The dialogue in Arrow is horrible. All the freaking one-liners.

[Himu]

Yeah. And the way they repeat dialogue. last week ep "I know it in my bones"

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya the dialog sucks and ya the secondary characters tend to suck, yet somehow arrow still manages to be great TV.

It's very similar to the medium it was adapted from, actually. I think that the whole package is so high quality that you don't mind the shoddy writing. Direction-wise, action-wise, it's extremely well made television, and seeing an entire comic book story arc play out over the course of a whole season just doesn't get old. I much prefer this format (television) for telling a comic book story than movies. A lot of arcs and themes are more fleshed out and the action is better. Makes Gotham's decision to be pre-Batman even more bone headed.

[TVC15]

also Courtney Act is fucking amazing and it's really only the editing that makes her look bad.

For final 3, my ranking goes:

1)Bianca
2)Adore
3)Courtney

I'd put Adore as #1 if she was more polished.  She always has the worst fucking wigs and bitch really needs to learn to sew.

EDIT:

I gave Arrow about half an episode before declaring it trash.  I was expecting more since the poster for the show makes it look like gay porno.

[Himu]

1. Bianca
2. Bianca
3. Bianca

Adore is doing a drag show this thursday at the hippest gay club in htown. should i go y/n

[TVC15]

y, let me know if she got some new fuckin wigs.

I love Bianca, but she does seem to wear variations of the same thing every week.  It's polished but way too similar.  She's got it in the can, though.

[Himu]

it's Adore. it will be a pink, frizzy MESS.

[TVC15]

Also, I'm of the opinion that if they wanted a villain, they should have kept Lasagna into the late game instead of the blah Darienne.  At least Laganja could get more interesting reactions out of people.

[Himu]

I thought Gia was the best villain this season. That fishy ho.

[TVC15]

I was going to include Gia in my original comment, but I remember feeling like she really deserved to be eliminated for that horrendous Snatch Game performance.

[Himu]

GIA

[TVC15]

She was awesomely dumb, too.

[Himu]

You say that like it's a BAD thing.

[ZephyrFate]

Lasagna's act got really tired as she got more whacked out from not being able to smoke any weed before/after episodes, though. Her blowup during Untucked was amazing.

[ZephyrFate]

April and Trinity were the two most undeserving eliminations IMO. April's runway looks post-Drag Race for each week's challenge have been INCREDIBLE. Her "business lady" look just blew my mind. Fishiest queen look I have ever seen.

[Himu]

Well I don't think they're big on the fishy look on drag race, are they? They tend to prefer esoteric queens.

[ZephyrFate]

Depends. They clock you on "relying on pretty" which is what has kept Courtney in the competition IMO (even though I think she has a lot of personality + heart that isn't shown very well thanks to the editing). April did a lot of crazy wacky looks that were complemented -- not buoyed -- by her fishiness. Courtney has been on-and-off relying on her silhouette, except when she goes the extra mile (the "serving fish" outfit, the regal eagle outfit).


also all drag race fans should go watch Shangela's WERQIN' GIRL video. So good. CLOCK THE HAIR, CLOCK THE MUG, CLOCK THE DRESS, CLOCK THE SHOES...

[TVC15]

I busted a nut over Courtney's Klaus Nomi outfit.

[Kshow]

I jus use diff card, diff name. The student one isn't instant video. Should be, but it's not. Jus the 2 day shipping.

I kind of want to see Arrow since my youngest brother and sister are big on it and I haven't had a show we can talk about together since Breaking Bad, but I can't for the life of me watch a CW show.

If you do we could make an arrow thread!

fwiw I don't like CW shows outside of arrow, unless Veronica Mars counts.  Give it a shot.

[TVC15]

The new episode of Fargo was awesome.  I'd let Billy Bob nut in my ass.

Do it. You'd like it.

Speaking of Arrow, tonight's ep was pretty Next week it's going down.

Arrow

I still really expect sara to die next episode.

[Himu]

She won't.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

She came back with the League of Asssassins, and promised to leave with them as payment. It's likely Laurel will train to be Black Canary, though.

[close]

[Himu]

Season 1 is on Netflix.

[Madrun Badrun]

It's on piratebay.

[brawndolicious]

Arrow is on Hulu Plus at least, episodes are available on the day after they air.

[TVC15]

Has anyone tried Penny Dreadful yet?  AV Club's review got me all wet for it.

[Eel O'Brian]

That was the best ep of Silicon Valley yet. Sort of changed the whole dynamic of the show.

[TVC15]

How has the show been on the whole?  I only saw the pilot, which I was kinda lukewarm on but it felt like it was probably a necessary setup episode.

Last episode with Peter Greggory.

Typical Mike Judge. The show has consistent, clearly defined characters and it examines how they interact with each other in ridiculous scenarios. If you like his stuff you'll like SV.
