Could you give some examples?

Happy Endings, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock—though, as I said “I think,” keep in mind that that’s just my opinion. Humor is largely subjective.

You just described every HIMYM episode ever.

TV isn’t rebroadcasting Avatar:TLA or Daria. I am sad. :(

I’ve watched up until Season 7 (2012) episode 12 (#148).

Archer and Community in the same night is almost too much awesome for my brain to handle.

Hot. Hot, hot, hot.

Right, instead of typing up a 50 page essay on why I don’t find HIMYM interesting anymore, I’ll just summarize:

I never cared about the “main character” of the story, because he isn’t interesting and his story isn’t interesting. What kept me watching the show was the funny, handsome guy and the not-yet-married couple. As soon as they threw a girl into the mix and the not-yet-married couple got married, the funny, handsome guy got screwed over and the not-yet-married couple suddenly became uninteresting. Basically, they killed the things that kept me watching the show.

It’s the same reason I stopped watching The Office. I couldn’t care less about the (current) “main character.” What kept me watching was the funny guy and the not-yet-married couple. The same thing happened, a girl messed everything up and took away the funny guy and the not-yet-married couple got married and suddenly became the most boring couple in the world. All that’s left is a mediocre set of actors playing a mediocre set of characters in a mediocre TV show.

I didn’t realize that was actual French Stewart playing the French Stewart impersonator on Community last night. I feel dumb now.

Fringe, Y U so sad?

And, as more of a general note, why is it that Astrid only has ONE episode where she’s the focus? I mean, she’s obviously the best character and we still have such little knowledge of her!

Eh, I never really hated her. Wasn’t immensely fond of her, but I recovered.

Yeah, hating Sarah Jane is akin to blasphemy in Who fandom.

And Rory too?

I like Donna and Martha. I hate Rose. I used to think Amy was okay, but I pretty much hate her too now. I used to like Rory, but I like him less now.

If anybody’s interested in watching The Wire and doesn’t want to rent it or shell out for the DVDs, send me a whisper in this thread. I’m doing a favor for Diamonte and I can cut other people in for almost zero additional effort.

I remember watching ‘Til Death slowly go insane, and this article describes it perfectly.

I read that as: you’d never even heard of Community, and thought I was on opposite planet for a sec.

They left out Izanami in Persona 4: The Animation.

I mean, WHAT.

EDIT: Yeah, I know this is a poor place to talk about it since I doubt anyone cares about Persona, but I just wished to express my displeasure.

How far into it are you? I stopped watching it not too long ago. Maybe I’m just impatient, but I’m tired of all these “pretty not that bad” TV shows being milked to death for maximum profit.

I’m tired of all these “pretty not that bad” TV shows being milked to death for maximum profit.

Me too. Then they go from “pretty not that bad” to “not very good but has good ratings.” It seems like when they finally kill popular shows now, they aren’t actually good anymore, and it’s like finally.

I haven’t actually seen Castle, though, so I don’t know about that one.

I’ve seen all of season one and two, and to me, it appears to be nothing more than horrible people sniping at each other :/

Quick, everybody look shocked that Willow hates something cool!

I’d already seen the first season, now I’m almost done with the second. I like it so far, but yeah, I’ve been worried about how long they can drag it out for. I mean, how many years of Castle and Beckett pretending they don’t like each other can they go through? Unless they go through a Relationship Upgrade in a later season, of course.

That was my problem with the show. It went from being a pretty witty and clever mystery show to a standard and predictable cop drama. When I stopped watching (season 4, episode 10) literally every episode was the same: They have an initial suspect, but rule him out because of one reason or another, and he sets them off on a false trail that, after 40 minutes, comes full circle and back to him. And while this is a little spoiler-ish, when I stopped watching Castle was still stuck in the same old friendzone with Beckett. I just got tired of it, personally.

Quick, everybody look shocked that Willow hates something cool!

GASP

Edit:

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway. Really liked what I’ve seen so far of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Going to try and do a little marathon sometime this weekend. Woot!

How far into it are you?

So far my absolute favorite thing is Appa.

Wrong answer. The correct answer is “Azula.”

Edit: Iroh is a close second, though.

I didn’t know we had so many Avatards on this site.

The new series of Avatar just started, so if you go on a marathon watching spree of TLA you can start The Legend of Korra right away.

I’ve barely seen Azula yet. She looks nutters.

You will slowly come to love that nutter, even if it’s against your will.

I knew you’d recognize Azula as the best character in the series, sansa. You’re a true bro.

Always. Azula4lyfe.

Knowing Willow, her favorite thing will probably be the moon. Literally.

No way, the moon is too pretentious.

Well that’s fine and dandy, but if you look at what you actually typed about it, you said that it isn’t brilliant or creative or gutsy because you don’t understand it.

Azula is indeed awesome. But if Willow’s not very far into the show, it makes sense that the character hasn’t had the time to grow on her yet. And I really want to be related to Iroh. He can make tea!

Luna Neville is teh real hero of teh s2ry.

Fixed it for ya.

Personally, I never liked Azula. Yeah, she’s an interesting villain, but she’s also batsh*it crazy. And while that can be entertaining, it’s not the kind of thing that makes a character likable, at least for me.

So, yeah, I’m gonna have to side with Willow here. Iroh is probably the most awesome character in the whole series. I’d totally hang with him.

No, no, no, you guys. The best character is Bumi. But if I have to choose one of the Gaang, it’s Toph.

And I like Zuko too. I know, I know, he’s a whiny baby most of the time, but… but… that one scene (you know what one I mean) in season 3… how could I not love him after that? (and all right, yes, I loved him long before that too!)

Azula is a pretty good character, though. I wish they would’ve stretched out her Season 3 arc a bit more, but I still think she’s a cool character.

Sokka is pretty awesome too, I’ll agree with you on that one.

Sokka and Toph are definitely my picks out of the Gaang. Sokka is just…hilarious.

I finished Chuck today (2 months late, I know)...

tl;dr: Bad villains, season 2 was the best and seasons 3-5 were weak. That said, the characters were better than ever, and I think the cast was what made this show really special and standout. I’m sad that the show ended, I’m going to miss Morgan, Chuck, Sarah, Casey, Awesome, Ellie, Jeffster, Big Mike, the Subway product placement, etc. The final was good, but bittersweet.

Nick Stokes is always getting all the bad luck. I’m watching repeats of this thing after ages (I actually can’t stand the more recent stuff anymore, but for the sake of nostalgia, I’m following only the first season) and only now realized how bad his character’s always being treated. He’s been kidnapped, buried alive, held at gunpoint, had some freak living in his ceiling…

Why? :(

What show is this?

CSI.

The one with Warrick… <3

If you tell me you don’t know who Warrick is, I might have to stab you.

...Don’t die. :(

You can stick around for a while. :D

...Oh dear. So much blood. What do I do now? Hey, why are you still talking?

Oh well, stitches aren’t gonna fix that, anyway.

stabs again

Inky? You there?

...No? Okay then baaaaaaaaaaiiiiii. Enjoy the afterlife! :D

He did you a favour. Didn’t you have zombies in your last Impish story? Now you can get an insider’s perspective. :D

I’m sure he’d now find your unfair, stereotypical portrayal of his kind quite offensive.

Yo, Bunk. Zoom in on that image there. We can get a reflection of Avon off of that guy’s eye. Take it up to 250x. Enhance. ENHANCE.

You’re going to be stabbing a lot of people with a prompt like not knowing a CSI character’s name.

Brains (“this”).

of his kind

I find your in-your-face life-ism to be quite offensive.

Watched the new Game of Thrones episode. I see what Puppet means about having no central character, but even in S1 I had the feeling that I was watching different PoVs stitched together for an hour. I don’t see any way of really solving this problem because that’s the essential format of the book as well, but I did think that the use of the comet was a decent way to knit it all together.

However, I think Stannis should have been introduced at the end of the episode, with a lot more build-up. His appearance seemed really sudden as it was.

Reposting this from the MLP: FIM thread. If you add “,long” and “,hd” to the end of your YouTube video searches you can find a lot of movies and TV shows. Here’s the latest Mythbusters episode, for example. All 40 minutes and in 720p, too.

Mythbusers

D:

Oh wow. They hate it that much? What do they do, hit it? Insult it? What form of abuse are we dealing with here?

EDIT: You’re such a liar. I saw what you did. :D

You know nothing.

Keith David narrated tonight’s Community, and it was grand.

“Wait, weren’t you on The Cape?”

“...No.”

“Wait, no, my friends need to suck on those frogs!”

Oh, Aang :D
