I rewatched all R&M already. And I'm looking at random clips from the show like every two days.
It's all fucking gold except Interdimensional Cable 2 (bad) and Look Who's Purging Now (bland)
The best is Total Rickall.

Apparently if Rixty Minutes had a "c" it would be one of the best episodes.

Somehow I didn't even notice the pattern!

I've watched two episodes of Community and it has been awful. Like some of the worst TV I've seen.

The entire focus was on : Will the douchebag get he playing-hard-to-get girl even though she pretends to be annoyed by how much of a douchebag he is?? (Spoilers Yes) Also aren't those weird side characters weird? LOL

Does this really pick up or was everybody wrong?

Captain K · « **Reply #530 on:** October 20, 2015, 09:44:33 PM »

Community isn't super hilarious most of the time, but it's pretty consistently funny. Watch the Dungeons and Dragons episode if nothing else.

Watch for the Betty white rap.

Also, childish Gambino is awesome.

Good news: Netflix announced the guy in charge of Iron Fist!

Bad news: He wrote the last season of Dexter.

THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOT WORK DOING ANYTHING, EVER?!

Grefter · « **Reply #534 on:** December 08, 2015, 02:24:02 AM »

He also did Six Feet Under (and Tremors 4!) so ehhhh. If his biggest sin was getting Dexter after it had already kind of burned through the best of its cache I will be tentatively optimistic.

Edit - I mean it isn't like they are letting Jeph Loeb do the writing.

Shale · « **Reply #535 on:** December 08, 2015, 02:29:38 AM »

You're aware Jeph Loeb is in fact in charge of this, right?

Grefter · « **Reply #536 on:** December 08, 2015, 03:02:31 AM »

He is okay as a producer. He is terrible on creative.

Shale · « **Reply #537 on:** December 28, 2015, 12:29:44 AM »

I binge-watched Jessica Jones over the last week (with a brief break for Christmas). It's real good. The cast universally nails their roles and while the story is a very on-the-nose domestic violence metaphor, it works. A big part of it is that Tennant makes a great villain.

dunie · « **Reply #538 on:** January 04, 2016, 02:30:43 PM »

So, there's this show called Born Again Virgin. It is pretty bad. It's three creative Black women who are all looking for love, each with drastically different personalities and are roommates. The premise isn't so bad if you're into that (raises hand), but the acting and setting design are pretty bad. The moments of intense animality that women think about sex, however, are lolzballz and has kept me watching.

I'm done with Different World and have entered a weird space. I don't know what to do. That show was so damn good. Man, 80s-90s was so damn good. So damn. good. I rewatched Felicity, X-Files, Sex and the City. So damn good. I want to watch the Wire but I have been account-delete protesting Amazon for over three months now. Gotta find a good file.

Grefter · « **Reply #539 on:** January 04, 2016, 05:24:42 PM »

Twin Peaks?

If you want to go to the 90sest 90s. Northern Exposure or if you want to see formative nerd cartoons you could watch Daria and I would be so happy.

Fenrir · « **Reply #540 on:** January 04, 2016, 06:07:40 PM »

The leftovers : I really liked that series at first. Great acting, cinematography, premise!
2% of the world population disappears. Nobody knows why. The series isn't interested in how people disappeares, but how the people left handle it.
The series has some very interesting ideas about faith and religion... Or so I thought. I thought that what made it great the ambiguity, you could either read it as pro-faith or pro-atheism. For example I found that there was one episode where I could either see the beauty of faith or conclude that Jesus was probably a total fraud.
well that's until the last two or three episodes : Miracles happen, the faith side was right, show is over, bye

Mr robot: this is fight club the tv series with hackers.
I am too old for this shit but it's still enjoyable. I like the creepy evil french corporate dude who says "Bonsoir" unironically.

Seconding Twin Peaks. Rewatched it myself recently and damn does it hold up, even after realizing how soap-y it is now.

dunie · « **Reply #542 on:** January 06, 2016, 12:27:24 AM »

I would definitely rewatch Daria. I'm not sure what site provides all the episodes though. Isn't there supposed to be a real life Daria film? How long is Twin Peaks? I know the Wire is 21st century, and that's me trying here.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #543 on:** January 06, 2016, 12:37:04 AM »

Not very long. The first season is really only a half season, and is utterly fantastic. Second is standard season length for a TV show. First half of that is WAAAAAY better than the second half. Good ending though. Plus there's a direct sequel/continuation coming out soon on Showtime, with everyone from the director/writer (David Lynch) to almost all the principle actors coming back for it.

Grefter · « **Reply #544 on:** January 06, 2016, 03:16:21 AM »

Hulu apparently has Daria.

dunie · « **Reply #545 on:** January 06, 2016, 02:30:12 PM »

Ya'll are boss. I'm set, return to life in abt two months.

Mr Robot: I finished the first season, nothing mind blowing really but decent.
The overall story is predictable even if what actually happens isn't, if that makes any sense. The big reveals are obvious, what happens between isn't.

They really like to spend screentime on the evil corporate guy (Tyrell Wallick) and he's awesome and hilarious. He's only tangentially related to the other characters, so his scenes just feel like a spinoff show inside the regular show. Anyway he's Christian Bale from American Psycho. He's completely amoral, young, very ambitious and prone to nervous breakdowns. Very caricatural but fun to watch. I like when he pays homeless people to beat them up, or when he fires people. I am always rooting for him.

Star wars rebels.

Uh, this is canon right?

Finished season 1, starting season 2.

It's a fun enough show. It's fun counting how many imperial soldiers die each episode.

I'm guessing they can use the "they are clones", excuse, but they be dying a lot.

Fudozukushi · « **Reply #548 on:** January 12, 2016, 01:46:21 AM »

Rebels is one of the few things in the new canon.

Storm Troopers don't actually die as often as it seems. They're usually writhing on the ground even after getting hit by explosions that destroy TIE Fighters.

They're also not clones, otherwise they'd all be voice by Dee Bradley Baker. Though I guess they can be Steve Blum clones.

The Genius - S1E1 watched finally. One episode in I am reminded why I needed to watch this. This is literally the best Television ever made. Dubstep Mafia, best Mafia.

The first episode is a microcosm of all the good things about the show. Slowly peeled back layers upon layers as the players work out the depth of the simple games presented, then work out the mafia game that sits on top of it and then pollutes the games presented to them. How people crack under pressure. How you can chop and change 5 hours of shooting into super tense condensed pressure. Dubstep. Licensed (QUESTIONMARK?) music being put to good effect.

Just all round a great start to a show I know is fantastic later on.
