Yeah ok she’s pretty hot there. But I dunno sometimes she can look a bit odd. I guess that can go for everyone. I’m crazy ok? She had fudging great legs in that episode of Chuck. Well her whole body was pretty sweat. And that Subway.. Mmmmm…. Hooray for product placement helping a good show survive!

I don’t think she’s that great, and I don’t really get the fanboy worship you run into when you’re out wandering the greater internet.

I think it’s oddly her mouth/jawline area. Mostly. Maybe. Didnt know she was in The 4400. I only saw like the first episode a very long time ago.

Didnt know she was in The 4400. I only saw like the first episode a very long time ago.

I don’t think she comes in until the second or third season, and she’s not a main character, but she’s a prominent secondary character.

Ah kay. Wasn’t 4400 first meant to be a mini series first? I am surprised it got at least 3 seasons. A strange friend of mine is/was convinced that LOST was originally a mini series when it started. No way that’s possible.

I finished Firefly not too long ago and I am saddened, too. I want to find the comics (for free….) but couldn’t be bothered. Though they might be free on this Joss Whedon website that had some comic he wrote about some band.

Why is it that shows with a bit of comedy mixed into them like Firefly and Chuck make me laugh more than most sitcoms? Well maybe some sitcoms are more consistently funny but when one of those semi-comedy shows actually has a joke its way funnier.

Wasn’t 4400 first meant to be a mini series first?

Yes, it was. I didn’t even know there was second season until one of my friends started talking about seeing an episode that I knew by the description was definitely not in the first season. It actually got four seasons. The last season kind of went off the deep end a little, though.

EDIT:
Apparently, there are even a few books as well.

The Shield: Should I or shouldn’t I?

I’m liking The Walking Dead so far. It’s interesting and not like most things I’ve seen with zombies.

The premise of Being Human kind of intrigues me, and with the buzz about the Americanized version, I’ve been wondering…

Should I watch it? I heard it started off less good and got better as it went on, but I also heard it was boring. Any opinions from you guys?

Is there an Americanized version of Being Human? I watched it on the BBC America last summer and enjoyed it, mostly, though I basically forgot to watch this season.

Meh to Being Human. But I hate how America has to do versions of everything. Them Americanizing Kath and Kim completely destroyed the entire point of Kath and Kim so that it wasnt even Kath and Kim anymore so what was the point? Though I think The Office US is better than the UK one until season 4.

The new conspiracy episode of Community was my favorite of this season. The concept of a huge blanket fort community with different districts is one of the reasons why the writers are such geniuses. Well and all the conspiracy stuff was genius, too. Still not sure if its as funny and as season 1 but there was some great laughs. My favorite laugh was when Anne was all WHAT? and Jeff was all I DONT KNOW and then they repeat themselves. It wasnt even a joke it was just funny based purely on delivery. It was weird how there was almost no Pierce and Shirly but I liked how Britta was saying she’s too old for blanket forts then she’s in that weird room.

Hopefully this episode marks a return to form (well in my opinion it hasnt been to form for most of this season)

They’re also Americanizing Torchwood, a move I thoroughly do not comprehend. It’s a spin-off of the most quintessentially British sci-fi show ever. How do you just go “Welp, let’s go move it from Cardiff to the US now!”?

Watching this week’s Community, and it’s pretty awesome so far.

“Corn you gorben… bluh…”

That was one of the dumbest moves ever. You can’t replace Kath & Kim, it’s Kath & Kim!

I actually don’t like Kath & Kim much. Not my kind of thing and maybe I’m not smart enough to get it. But of course I still think it was idiotic to make a US version.

Yep the chase scene in Community was awesome. One of my favorite moments of that was Troy saying they should check out their cival rights museum.

waitwaitwait, they Americanised K&K?

;__;

There are no words. The humour is completely lost when you remove the context of “Australian Bogan”.

WTF IS THIS SHIT?!

T__T

See, THIS is comedy!

“Little baby cheeses?”

OK, thanks. Sounded like an interesting premise, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good, you know?

The IT Crowd.

IT Crowd reference is from series two, at

funeral. His son (Matt Berry love!) comes bursting in and does the FATHER thing. What’s even funnier is that it’s the image for the tvtropes Incoming Ham page :)

So I watched the pilot of Being Human, and it looked pretty good. I haven’t started watching the show itself yet, but if the pilot was interesting, the show can’t be any worse, right? Sad the smexy vampire guy got recast, but I’ll probably live.

Oh, good.

How dare you. I dont care if other shows are apparently better, I dont get why that makes you care less about other shows. I did download season 1 of The Wire but still havent gotten around to watching… I bet I’ll still prefer Dexter, but I think Breaking Bad is at least a bit better than that even. They both have similar premises and feels.

Platypus, yeah I dont want them to do that and it probably wouldnt make sense in the context of the show version. It was just an idea. I am reading the books now btw.

It’s just hard to care much about anybody on that show who isn’t Dexter himself. That, and I don’t see how they can possibly top Lithgow from last season. He was just completely lights-out from his first scene to his last scene.

I think Doakes was a good secondary character, and I miss him.

I guess I see your point. As brilliant as I think the writing and plotting and everything is, maybe Dexter is the only good character. Meh it’s still better than most shows and I care about seeing the awesome plot tied together than really anything about the characters. I felt the same for LOST.

I’m only just starting to read book 3 but haven’t been making much effort. The tv show IS way better because it fleshes out the characters way more, makes the plot less sloppy at the end of season1 by stretching out the events adding all this extra stuff the ice truck killer did and makes the ending better, and the storyline doesnt go to the shits after the first few books or so I’ve heard. The one thing the books do better is Dexter’s first person narrative. He is much funnier in the book. Mmm…. imaginary sandwich…

I’m soldiering through while I crit SWQ’s stuff that I’m way behind on. Midway through episode five. It’s alright once I got back into the rhythm. Doesn’t really have the narrative momentum in the central plot that 1/2/4 had yet. Batista’s subplot went from grating to interesting once it stopped being about Micky Mouse junior high bullshit, so we’ll see if it stays that way. Nope, pretty sure it’s about to backslide now that it’s all one big misunderstanding. Ugh.

Lumen is an incurably stupid name, though.

@ sansa: If you’re way behind, I don’t even want to know where I am.

Ooh, I just started watching Supernatural with fezqueen. It is indeed awesome.

godforsaken mountain of a backlog.

I have one of those… and one for books too.

Dexter:

Am I the only one who still thinks of Dexter as a kid who’s a mad scientist instead of serial killer who kills serial killers?

I’m waiting for a website to upload a vid of the new Dexter. A site/vid that I trust. Why is it taking so long? I dont know the time difference and when it airs.

I never watched that cartoon. Just saw glimpses of it.

Yeah I couldve easily checked the time and timezone difference but I couldnt be bothered. Its not that important just thought i’d complain anyway.

I’m at least 2 seasons behind on Chuck, and that’s the sort of think that drives me nuts so I’m glad to hear the rest of it is going well—I fully intend to catch up eventually.

And I haven’t gotten a chance to watch disks 2 & 3 of Supernatural season 5. And I bought season 4 on blu-ray (because it was cheap) but I haven’t unpackaged it yet. Supernatural effects me oddly—I fangirl all over it, but then avoid watching the actual show. And yet, it’s the only show where I’ve found the actual episodes so much better than the spoiler. To the point where I really didn’t think I could watch it, even during the show, but the overall arc just redeemed (heh) it for me. :)

The Walking Dead has a really short season. The finale is on Sunday, and it’s only been on like six times.

I should probably stop bothering complaining about Community and just leave it be. It must somehow be me. Maybe I want to believe it’s nowhere near as good as season 1 so I’ve put a mental block on my funny bone. But I dunno the conversations and chemistry between the cast seems boring now. BUT with that said there was a decent amount of small laughs and smiles, just nothing big. And I did think the last episode was brilliant.

The Walking Dead has been pretty good. The writers have all been fired for some random reason so season 2 might end up very different. Breaking Bad is awesome and I never gave Deadwood a chance. No idea what it’s about.

Starting up Summer Heights High. God, I knew people exactly like Jonah and Ja’mie. It’s scary how accurate this is.

Dexter:

Argh sick of streaming websites taking forever to get the episode. Well I can’t find any I think are trustworthy. Sometimes the bastards name it the new episode then you waste the time and download watching it until finally the title appears and its an old episode. I am glad Dexter is one of the few shows to have the title at the start or at least have it very obvious. If I were to go back to downloading torrents I’d likely still be waiting ages because my internets is pretty bad.

Must…resist…temptation…to…read…people’s opinions…which…contain…spoilers. Well no I dont really have to struggle to resist because why would I want it ruined?

EDIT: ok seen it

There’s a trailer for the season finale? I dont think I want to watch that. Sometimes they ruin things. I dunno how that screenshot made you think any of that. You couldve thought of that without the screenshot. But those are interesting thoughts.

I posted this on another site but thought I may as well vomit my thoughts here if anyone’s interested:

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Man, I’ve been planning to read the rest of ASOAIF for ages.. I should probably think about doing it. Despite the way he treats women, GRRM is so addictive…

Despite the way he treats women

The men don’t turn out much better, honestly. I didn’t really find ASOIAF that insulting to our gender, personally.

Wise idea, this.

Yeah, I remember really liking the first season, and now I don’t remember really what happened, and I zoned out during the second season, which caused me to be confused during the third and zone out again.

Finally on Season 3 of Arrested Development. Pure brilliance.

Has anyone seen the Hawaii Five-0 remake? I really enjoy it, and it has great banter between Danny and Steve. Great episode last night.

^^ Um, ew… And why?

(I suppose there isn’t really anything wrong with it, but it seems so bland in comparison.)

@ Diamonte: I love Arrested Development! We watched it all the time in AP Calc after the AP exam…good times. :)

I hope that means it was good. Well I still dont think its funny enough but it was still really awesome. They must’ve been working on that episode for ages. Though Community wasn’t the first to do this; That ’70s Show did a small stop motion thing with Kelso and Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer. But the Community one was of course way longer, impressive, cooler and had heart.

Yeah I think they are scams. I use sidereel which lists lots of links to streaming sites and the early links are fake. Argh need to see finale. Need to have vague idea about what next season could be about and that all depends on whether Lumen lives, dies, runs away, or goes to jail.

I try to use megavideo links but I dont like that it has a limit to how much you can watch without paying. Suddenly a video stops and I have to wait 54 minutes then instead of the video kindly continuing from that spot I have to redownload the rest of it.

Maybe since this is a special occaison I should download a torrent and risk being tracked again (it so wouldn’t happen but you never know…) and watch it on a tv since sitting at a computer for that kind of stuff kinda sucks. Only my internet is shit so the torrent will likely take way longer than streaming.

Eh sitting around waiting sucks I think I’ll go on a walk soon and it better be here when I come back.
