Saw a Dexter post on my feed where Dexter is asking Deb "You're... in love with me?". So they're finally down to fuck I guess. I haven't watched since Season 3 or 4.

So, thanks to insomnia, I was up until 4 this morning watching the entire 1st season of American Horror Story. I feel like I am missing something, because I wasn't as in love with it as a lot of folks seem to be. I mean, I thought it was decent, and there was some great acting, but I thought it went on too long and some of the character's actions didn't ring true

Eh. Don't watch it as some sort of beacon of great television. It's good at what it does. EricP described it perfectly: gothic horror turned up to 11. It's just batshit insane holding nothing back. That's what I loved about it. From the first episode it seemed intent on crossing lines.

Yeti · « **Reply #6248 on:** November 22, 2012, 04:41:03 PM »

It's fun becaue it throws a whole lot of horror scenarios into a blender and mashes them all up.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #6249 on:** November 22, 2012, 08:36:00 PM »

So far I like the second season much better.

Oblivion · « **Reply #6250 on:** November 22, 2012, 08:53:56 PM »

I finally caught up to everything in Breaking Bad. I felt season 5 was kinda weak.

As for the show on the whole, from what everyone was telling me about it, I thought it would have been better. But there's really a lot I dislike about it. I don't really care for:

-most of the characters
-the writing
-the directing
-the music

I get that I'm most likely in the minority, but I feel it's pretty overrated, with the main saving grace being the occasional "holy shit!" moments like this one (spoiler if you haven't seen it):

Other than that, I don't feel the show deserves the amount of jizz it currently does.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #6251 on:** November 22, 2012, 09:02:54 PM »

how many jizz shots would you give it, out of 5?

Oblivion · « **Reply #6252 on:** November 22, 2012, 09:04:51 PM »

Overall?

3-3.5

I really like Breaking Bad but I can see why people wouldn't be totally hyped for it.

Yet there are people like Spencer who thought it was better than The Wire. Sorry but no.

Started watching Nikita, because Maggie Q in lingerie. It's not bad by a longshot. For TV espionage, it's exciting and fun. It's not A-Team levels of cheese, and the exposition is sometimes pretty weak, but the story structure is solid enough and, again, Maggie Q in skimpy clothes.

Also the Matrix girl has had a breast expansion, and a nose job. Dennis Quaid also seems drunk most of the time.

I don't think she has implants; she had a kid and is breastfeeding, apparently. That may account for it.

chronovore · « **Reply #6269 on:** November 27, 2012, 08:34:12 AM »

It's inspired by La Femme Nikita, a Luc Besson movie. The first TV series and American Point of No Return movie were also based on that masterpiece.

Maggie Q's show is not using the fiction from any of them specifically; they're making up a new canon but originating the characters from the same scenario.

It's getting there, but the Woodbury plot/Andrea/Michonne still suck, so not really.

I am surprised how well this show has held up, although Diane is like the hipster version of Ted from HIMYM

Star Trek: TNG

The nostalgia googles have worn off man what of cast of stiff ass people but it's saving grace is Q

Star Trek: Voyager

I haven't watched the whole series yet but what I have seen is better than TNG

Star Trek: DS9

See above

Really impressed with how tightly plotted AHS is this season. There's enough stuff going on to sustain an entire series, much less a single season

I just saw the pilot for AHS, and I have to say, for a supposed horror series, I found myself laughing quite a bit throughout the episode.

And what the hell is with all these jump cuts?

I really need to catch up on AHS. It's batshit crazy but that (and Jessica Lange) is what makes it so entertaining.

He was in a brat in season 1 and in the little of season 2 I'd seen. In season 3 he's doin thangs all over the place.

I'm real glad I decided to give the show another chance. Season 2 was trash but season 3 is kicking ass.
