BITCHES IT IS TIME

omg

The last shot on the stage is amazing. This is probably the most expensive looking promo they've done. I hope they saved some budget for the show.

The last show is incredible. I can't believe they can pay for this.

[TVC15]

Their ratings like tripled or quadrupled when they jumped to VH1.

[Himu]

So Drag Race is mainstream now?

[TVC15]

Well, keep in mind that's tripling or quadrupling Logo ratings. So in short. . .probably not quite.

Then again, Trixie and Katya have a show on Viceland now. I really have no idea.

Have you ever seen Dragula, TVC?

Have you ever seen Dragula, TVC?

I watched the first season and liked it. Haven't watched the second yet.

I mean, Ru won an Emmy for it a couple years ago, it’s not exactly a secret

Plus there’s that SNL sketch. Sorry, Cindy.

I have a problem with drag being considered mainstream because the heart and soul of drag is kiki-ing at mainstream society and how fucking absurd it is

[CatsCatsCats]

I can certainly understand that, it’s just what happens to counter cultural shit, it’s cool and becomes popular 🤷‍♀️

[TVC15]

Also, the RuPaul subreddit pointed out that since Trixie and Katya have a show on Viceland, they are now officially Disney princesses.

Come to think of it, Alaska was on the last season of Apprentice, the one Arnold did. (Just a guest appearance when Carson Kressley called in a favor for whatever challenge) and that’s NBC

Started Netflix' MINDHUNTER; it's been 20 years since I read the book, but the show is an effective dramatization of what I remember. The '70s vibe is strong here, and Fincher's thumbprint is all over the first two episodes. Bliss.

I couldn't read 20 years ago.  I was a really dumb eight-year-old.  And look at me now.

IRVING AND DOM QUALITY TIME OUTDOORS

Totally forgot about Leon in my Irving/Dom spin-off. Sorry, cuz.

[benjipwns]

er i mean WHERE THE TIME TRAVEL MULTIPLE TIMELINES THEY EVEN HAD THE CLIP FROM SUPERMAN THAT PROVES IT BUT WHY ARE THEY HOLDING IT BACK I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS WAS THE TIME TO REVEAL EVERYTHING AND MASSIVE TWISTS EVERYWHERE BUT HE BETRAYED US BY STAYING REALISTIC DESPITE THE FACTS ABOUT THE ALTERNATE TIMELINES AND WHITEROSE'S TIME TRAVEL PLANT FUCK THIS SHOW BETRAYED ME AGAINST MY WILL FOR THE LAST TIME

Mr Robot has the worst music! That was the finale? It certainly jumped the shark. Oh and Whiterose is a man, why does everyone keep calling him she?

IMMERSION RUINED

gimme a hit of those comments baby:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well regardless of whether it’s a delusion or not, Whiterose certainly is going to a lot of trouble to get her project transported. Given that she told Grant “..I’ll come find you..”, it will be very interesting to see ultimately what “it” is. Grant’s choice of suicide could also be completely reframed, once we get there.

I guess I’m just saying that if the reason they’re all willing to die is because they 100% know the timeline will reset, then I could see Whiterose killing herself if that was what was required.

There’s still a lot to explore about Whiterose and I hope they do. I have no doubt that her machine is real in some way. She told us when we met her that she “hacks time”. But is she like Elliot in some way? Two beings living inside one body? Is there more to Elliot and the Mr Robot identity than just a case of mental illness played up for entertainment value?

Was Whiterose using an Amazon Echo Show talking to Grant there? Is this proof his project succeeded? Because the Show wasn’t released until 2017 and this is still supposed to be 2015.

don't stop believin'

ABC’s improbable full-cast revival of “Roseanne” is real, and now it has a premiere date.

Fans of the show can find out just how the heck Dan Connors is still alive when the nine-episode 10th season debuts with a special hour-long episode on Tuesday, March 27 at 8 p.m.

The full cast from the show’s original run is returning for the new go-round, including Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman, and both Beckys — Lecy Goranson, who originated the character and will play her in the revival, and Sarah Chalke, who will play a new character.

Johnny Galecki, who currently stars in CBS’ hit “The Big Bang Theory,” is also returning for a single episode.

[TVC15]

I could’ve been straight for Laurie Metcalf or Sara Gilbert, FYI.

[benjipwns]

Don't think the latter would have worked.

Someone needs to write a story about a gay dude and a lesbian in love. In an O. Henry twist, they both secretly get gender reassignment surgery for Christmas to try to please the other.

He kept waiting for makeup and women’s clothing to feel right. But that never happened, not after he got married to a man, not after he gave birth to two kids. Then, just last year, Joshua wanted to join Girl Scouts – despite being raised a boy.

That’s when Daniel was introduced to a word he had never heard before: transgender.

“And when I finally looked it up, and I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, they’re trans, and I know it’s true – because I am, too, and it’s been my whole life,’” Daniel said.

Soon after, Joshua came out as a trans girl. Mason came out as a trans boy. Daniel knew to protect and support his kids, he had to live as his authentic self, too. So he cut his hair and went shopping — in the men’s section.

“I opened my eyes, looked in that dressing room mirror and went, ‘Oh this is it. This is perfect. This is me,’” he said.

About the same time, Daniel met Shirley, who was volunteering at a nonprofit for parents of trans youth. Like Daniel, Shirley had been married before. When she started transitioning, she figured she’d be single forever.

“I was never accepted before by people that really loved me, and we were married,” she said. “So why would any of that change?

As the kids befriended Shirley, so did Daniel. There’s an age gap — Daniel’s 41 and Shirley’s 62, but still, they fell in love.

The opening of S2 Ash vs. The Evil Dead is the funniest use of situational contrast. Oh man.

[BlueTsunami]

Started up The Night Manager on Amazon. Feels like a completely fleshed out Bond movie. 2D villians and characters given room to be fleshed out beings. Plus what feels like the birth of an MI6 agent. Goes without saying it plays subtly. Enjoying it so far.

And when I reference Bond it isn't to say that the protagonist is a one man army, or Cooley performs his duty. Feels more realistic as depicted.

I want Tom Hiddleston Bond so badly after watching TNM

http://tvline.com/2017/12/18/the-office-revival-nbc-2018-new-cast/

NBC is getting ready to put pen to paper on a revival of The Office.

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that the Peacock network is eyeing a continuation of the beloved workplace comedy for the 2018-2019 season. The revival would once again be set at Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton, PA., branch, and feature a mix of new and old cast members.

...

Roughly a month before NBC’s successful relaunch of Will & Grace, network president Bob Greenblatt revealed to reporters that his revival wish list included The Office (as well as 30 Rock). “We often talk about The Office,” the exec told our sister site Deadline. “I’ve talked to Greg [Daniels] four times over the past few years. It’s always, ‘Maybe someday, but not now’. There is certainly an open invitation, but we don’t have anything happening right now. If he wants to do it, I would do it.”

The bolded as like a half season, ten episodesish, special thing only I think is the max you could do and not ruin it. It'd have been five years, Jack obviously is involved in the Trump White House, you have the sex scandals, etc. One live episode obv.

The Office idea is what they were trying to do when it was dying finally, not sure that's really a great idea. It was also one of those shows that, even the UK version, was a product of its time as much as anything and everyone just riffs off what they did in the two UK seasons and the first couple US seasons.

But if we're going to reboot ANY series set in a workplace we actually need to start with Better Off Ted because why would we not? I want a Amazon/Netflix third season of this somehow, it should be degraded in quality just enough that I regret desiring it but also am glad I had it back for a little while.

I watched the first episode of the Will & Grace revival and it was probably the worst sitcom I’ve ever seen.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Finished Search Party. A+ second season.

[Van Cruncheon]

search party is fucking awesome

i want to have maeby’s baebies

[Stoney Mason]

Watched Daredevil S1. I'll preface this by saying once again, I'm not really a big super hero guy.

It's good. Probably pretty good if you are into comic book material

I like that the villains had motivations and setups as compared to the Punisher where the villains are just basically straw men to be punished by the end of the show.

I should haven't watched it so soon to the punisher though because the formula of these type of shows starts to grate if you watch too many episodes of them close to each other.

I still want to watch Jessica Jones and the Cage one someday but I have to space that shit out so I don't get burned out/annoyed with the material.

[Himu]

Is Black Mirror a show with depth? Please say yes.

[Tasty]

Hm.

Not really.

Each episode is basically its own movie with a gimmick.

I love the show but it's not very deep outside of questioning our reliance on technology.

The Crown is really really good, and the second season is even better than the first. And with the added bonus of me ending up on wikipedia to find out how much of it was true after every episode.

Is Black Mirror a show with depth? Please say yes.

Yes, it's a modern day Twilight Zone. It's episodic, not serial. Every episode has made me think. San Junipero made me cry.

In her later years I didn't think shed go with a stick with and role on a show like this. Genuinely surprised me. Now that I know she's down it makes me wonder what that modern Xena could have been like.

Looking at here wiki, she’s married to Robert Tapert, who’s firmly part of the Raimi Crue since OG Evil Dead. She’s practically family. Also, don’t forget Bruce was in Hercules and Xena, so they’re probably buds, too.

[toku]

She did like 3 seasons of Spartacus. She seems to enjoy violent trashy work.

[TVC15]

Man, Xena and Hercules were awesome.

[etiolate]

My trashy b-movie tv shlock Mt Rushmore would be Bruce Campbell, Lucy Lawless, Christopher Lee and Cushing.

Maybe Cushing would take offense. I am willing to swap the fourth.

[benjipwns]

Lucy Lawless is great, she regularly gets arrested for protesting oil rigs and stuff, on Red Eye she said she actually has more fun during the getting arrested part more than the protesting part.

Also, from Curb when she was hitting the newly seperated Larry:

When Lucy Lawless calls Ted Danson an asshole it was improvised by the actress without Danson knowing.

Also Spartacus was WAY more good than it had any right to be.
