Veep is still terrific after its showrunner change. Still the best comedy on TV.

Yea I was worried when he left but the show is still incredibly sharp. Easily the best show on HBO currently

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Log lady, too

She's in the show, they filmed a bunch of scenes with her before she died.

Shit, really? Fucking yes.

[CatsCatsCats]

Time traveling bong was pretty fuckin funny

I liked the first episode of Silicon Valley S3 quite a bit.

SV is what I put on in the background when I want to be productive.  Gone though season 1 and 2 like 10 times now.  Very happy season 3 is here.

Anyone else trying to watch Fear the Walking Dead? It's so dull. Not a single interesting character or plotline so far. Not sure why I'm even tuning in...guess I just love zombie shit for some reason

Best character is the smoothing talking black con man guy but yea, they took a seemingly exciting topic (zombie apocalypse as its happening!) and found a way to make it the dullest fucking thing ever. So it fits right in with TWD.

[Phoenix Dark]

It's trash. I don't know why I struggled through the first season. How do you take a surefire dope idea - zombies in LA - and fuck it up. The only redeeming factors were the cool black dude and the hot pawg daughter. I might watch S2 but not anytime soon.

BTW Walking Dead's last season was pretty cool. They've been repeating the same ideas for awhile, so I thought it was interesting that something actually different has happened. When you realize you ain't the king of the jungle after all

  Yeah...no pawgs that I can recall. The two daughters in the main cast are definitely non-pawg status.

[Madrun Badrun]

Punisher spinoff ordered

YES YES YES

[Tasty]

Jon Bernthal killed it, so I'm not surprised.

Showrunner is the same guy who did Hannibal, which I heard was really fucking good, so I'm stoked.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Bryan Fuller? No way, dude is doing Star Trek and American Gods at the same damn time right now, no way he's taking this on too

[fistfulofmetal]

Not Bryan Fuller - Steve Lightfoot

[Tasty]

Ah he was one of the exec producers. Still though, not bad.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Good, I would have been umad if he started doing three giant shows without getting the hinted-at Hannibal movie wrapup thing. Not familiar with Steve Lightfoot but Hannibal was delightful so I'm down

[CatsCatsCats]

Wait there's going to be an American Gods adaptation? Nice

[Steve Contra]

Wait there's going to be an American Gods adaptation? Nice

Yeah, it's looking decent as well.  Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday

[Dickie Dee]

I guess I'll finally come out and admit it...I've finally gotten into Doctor Who 

I knew the camp was part of the package but I couldn't get through the first couple episodes before and never wanted to try. Gave it another go on Netflix a month or two back and now I'm up to S5 w/ Matt Smith.

It really is a show you can come home from work and chill and knock an episode or two out. It's funny, dumb and always clever. Really appreciative to have such a backlog to go through.

[Tasty]

Haven't seen the last 3 seasons. Interest pretty much died the episode Rory/Amy left.

Season 5 has so many good episodes and it feels like the perfect balance between serialized and episodic.

[fistfulofmetal]

I watched the whole new run (except the most recent season) over the last year with my SO. The most recent Doctor is far far far better than Matt Smith, who is garbage for the most part.

[Tasty]

Haven't watched the new run but I agree that Matt Smith is utter trash.

 

[toku]

Yea I liked Matt Smith too. This new Doc is good thouh. I still wish we got more Eccleston though, he's probably my favorite from this modern era. Series 5 (first Matt Smith season) is still the best season out of this entire run though. From Eccleston to present.

I don't like Doctor Who, but I like Eccleston so much that I bought his season and enjoyed it. I like Tennant as an actor just fine, but I have not managed to struggle through much of his run, which is doubly odd because I have an unnatural attraction to Billy Piper's unusual face.

Well this is interesting to me. I detest what I've seen of Doctor Who -- Tennant era -- but Christopher Eccleston has been fucking incredible in The Leftovers. Almost considering watching just on that basis.

[toku]

A lot of the die hards and fangirls in particular ride hide for Tennant era but it's the most inconsistent. For every great ep theres 3 or 4 absolutely miserable ones. Almost the entire Martha season is trash and the Donna eps are barely better.

Yeah, it's looking decent as well.  Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday

Gaiman's been tweeting approvingly of it for a while now too.

To be fair he got a nice fat check, of course he's approving it.

[chronovore]

I finished the available season of The Expanse. It was strange to me that they announce s2 so soon, but now I see that they couldn't have done otherwise. The first season doesn't finish any of its storylines, and ends about ⅔ of the way through the first book.

[toku]

The Who ep he wrote is also one of my favorites and made me cry.

  I didn't want to have the next episode spoiled so I didn't click that spoiler.

But, my god, that line was brilliant. Best show on TV. The great part about it was most other characters saying that wouldn't be out of place, it'd be an OK joke. But that guy saying it? I had the misfortune drinking water when he said it. There was water everywhere.

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya the build up was incredible.  I loved Richard congratulating him on ribbing Dinesh earlier.

Yeah, it's not quite a cliffhanger season ending, but close enough. Nothing is resolved, no-one is safe. Shit, there's not even a clear direction on who is to blame. Thomas Jane is fantastic in this. Looks like he's lost weight; I wonder, was it to try and make him look more slender and long, like a Belter?

Best one since season 5 that's for sure.


Now what they do with God is going to really be interesting. They essentially just installed a cheat code.


Also, god bringing them jams

At the office I saw a colleague of mine that I hadn't seen in months in the hallway who I know is a huge SV fan. I was like "Hey Parm! That's a nice chain!"

He replied in his british accent, "Yeah, I choke my mom with it when my penis is in her butthole!"

We gave each other a bro hug all like

Everyone one else in the hallway looked on like

Supergirl is moving to the CW (and Vancouver), the same network (and city) as the three Arrowverse shows.

Supergirl becomes The CW's fourth DC Comics show on its slate for the 2016-17 broadcast season.

The CW should just be renamed "The DC," lol.

This season of Archer is the best since the early ones.

There is only 4 seasons.  What you mean to say its a better season than season 3.

Last season was pretty good. Archer Vice even has lots to like. Even if it wasn't ultimately an awesome diversion, at least Archer Vice kept them from having to say ISIS during the worst possible time to be saying it in a comedy show.
