Eleven Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just finished watching Continuum... and boy I do hope they don't cancel this show. If they do, I hope they continue it on some other form... like a comic book series. Which reminds me, I have to go and rewatch Jericho and get on the comics. But I really do hope they make a season 2... I recommend you guys watch it. It's really entertaining. It's only 10 episodes so you won't waste much of your time if you find you don't like it.

Mister Jack Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Since a lot of my favorite shows either finished their seasons or are soon finishing their seasons, I started watching Gravity Falls on a whim simply because I've heard that it has kind of a cult following. I actually like it quite a bit, which surprised me since the Disney Channel usually puts out the worst kind of pandering crap you can find outside of reality tv. And I friggin adore Mabel. That kid is just too damn cute. Edited September 23, 2012 by Mister Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 So, I've started watching this 'Battlestar Galactica' show that everyone's talking about...eight years ago. I can see why it's interesting and all, but I really dislike some of the decompressed storytelling aspects or the cheap plot device stuff. Not to say it's bad. I just wish it would get on with it, sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Exactly what i thought when i watched it. I did get as far as almost ending season 3. I stopped watching for some reason i can't remember, but when season 4 was out i had an inkling to watch it. I didn't though, mainly because it i remember it got boring most of the time.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Seriously Mister Jack, I started out the same and have been watching Gravity Falls for a few months. It's the only thing I'll watch on Disney, much like Korra is the only thing I'll watch on Nick. Every time it goes to commercial, I mute the TV and wait till the show is back on. The pain one must go through to watch this amazing show. Also, Mabel is the #1 reason I watch the show. I mean, there's other great stuff about it too, but her character is the icing on the cake. Seriously, if I ever become an uncle, I hope to have a niece like her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Isn't it weird that you're saying that you would never watch a show on Disney Channel, with a Pony as your avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Are you addressing me? I'm not the one who said I'd never watch anything on Disney. Atomsk said that. I said that Disney puts out pandering crap, which is true. I've watched an episode or two of a lot of their shows and none of them within the last several years ever did anything for me until this one.

Waldorf and Statler Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Phineas and Ferb was pretty decent early on when the songs were genuinely clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Eh. Phineas and Ferb didn't really do it for me. I will say, though, that it isn't nearly as bad as some of the other shows on that channel. I might even say it's not a bad show at all. Just...not my thing, I guess. But I can understand why others would like it. Edited September 24, 2012 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I watched Phineas and Ferb too, but it became stagnant fast. Episodes could be clever, but nothing rarely happened in the end because it would have to be washed away for the running gag of Candace never "busting" her brothers. I know it's good to whatever extent others enjoy it, but it lost my attention after it's first six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I haven't seen it in ages and never will really. Adventure Time and Regular Show are my silly cartoons. Korra doesn't count because it's an anime at heart and those are watched by people at all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know I'm about five years late, but I finished the first season of Mad Men last night. Those last few episodes were fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 The Newsroom. I got through the entire first season in just about 6 days this past week. I don't know how i feel about the show to be honest. I enjoyed aspects of it, such as the character interaction and the production of the 'show inside the show', however some parts really got up my nose. I'll probably give it a second season, but i hope they tone down the America Ra-Ra aspect of the show. Maybe tone down Emily Mortimer's character as well. The actress is doing a great job but the character is flat-out annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 There are a few things about The Newsroom that are annoying alright. I think it's just Aaron Sorkin. I felt the same way about The West Wing but still enjoyed it overall. I just finished watching the third episode of the latest season of Sons of Anarchy. It's been a fantastic start. Hell on Wheels season 2 has been good so far as well and Revolution is looking interesting. Also, I've been watching Castle season 5. Have they jumped the shark? I won't say why in case anyone wishes to watch it but those caught up with the last season should know what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Agreed Dex, Sons of Anarchy has been fantastic so far and yesterday's episode was incredibly done AND heartbreaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 So, I finished Battlestar Galactica. What a load of crap. It's another one of those shows strung along by cheap plot devices where it's a combination of characters acting incredibly stupid or being plot monkeys. I can see why George R. R. Martin got so infuriated with it. I can't imagine being a viewer who was waiting between seasons (and even ad breaks) over all those years. That's not to say it didn't have its moments, but those were long-gone by the final season. It's pretty telling that they were just picking and choosing who to make into Cylons, purely so the finale of season three could be a bit more interesting. And I can see that the Mass Effect series actually borrowed fairly heavily from the show right down to the awful parts that defined the third game. In other news, the only other current show I have been watching is Dexter, having only seen season one before that (and thinking it was alright). Pretty funny to see how things have developed and how the story is ramping up in this penultimate season. The writing is fairly bad and soap opera-like in most places but is lifted by some great performances and inspired direction. I can't deny that it'll be interesting to see how this whole thing shakes out. With BSG out of the way, I should really start on some of these other shows I have...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I liked BSG season 4. Season 3 was weak though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well, 4 had the mutiny, which actually made me care about a character. I wouldn't say 3 was any worse than the two preceding ones (because I never thought highly of them) but I recall some episodes with decent concepts that I wish they'd explored more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 3 was weak because the network made them make it more episodic instead of arc-based.... pretty sure it was 3. Having trouble finding something about it online and it's been forever since I watched them. Anyway, I'm 90% sure it was season 3, and the network made them make it more episode-based to try to be more appealing to new viewers, but that failed and they ended up just losing a significant portion of the viewerbase they already had.

Hot Heart Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Ha, really? I think those were the stories I preferred (the killer doctor, revolting refinery ship), perhaps because I was irritated by the overarching plot, but I still recall a few mini-arcs at least.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah, I think they had an arc at the beginning of the season and an arc at the end, but in-between were just a bunch of standalone episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I was wondering what you guys were talking about, and scrolled back to find it was BSG! They lost me at Season 3, too. And I couldn't get interested enough to finish it. EDIT: Wow. This was old. Oh well... Also getting ready to watch Boardwalk Empire Season 3. I hope it's a good season! I held out on watching this so I could do a marathon... Edited December 3, 2012 by eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 it starts out strong, has a really REALLY REALLY slow middle, and apparently from what i hear also ends strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
