I know some payment is required, I stated I do not expect things to be free like some of the music downloaders and its ruining the music business. I am talking about having every network or channel go to a subscription. They are already making money on cable and get ad revenue and cable fees. CBS and other networks…

people are just going to have to say "no", no matter how much geeky joy they waive in front of us, or we are going back to $150.00 TV bills. If we all say no and the streaming charge collapses, we will be able to watch these shows again for free in a couple years.

I am not saying Robert acts inconsistently as written. Yes, they are presented as very liberal, despite being born upper-class. Its the fact they ARE that liberal in 1925 which is borderline ridiculous. Almost nothing shocks this family. They are not 1925 progressive, they are 2016 progressive. It is poor writing…

Its funny reading posts on Marigold and people thinking it is so contrived and obvious. Actually, its one of the more true to life things Fellowes put in the story. There was no internet, no TV, only a few radio programs and people were much more naive back then. In 1925, people were kind of clueless about obvious…

Best adaption for one of his sci-fi books ever.

worst book ever. This book is the reason I dread reading big long epics like Game of Thrones before they are completely done and people say if they are all good. I threw the Dark Tower away after reading. All of that set up and cute mentions in most of his other stories…for that? He had no idea how to end his…

it was actually the logic behind him waiting until the day in question was the past would just find another way to kill Kennedy if you killed Oswalt too quickly, so he had to wait in the past three years before trying to stop the assassination. It makes sense in its own logic, barely.

amen. I saw CBS has a new Star Trek series coming out, but ONLY on their new streaming service ($6 a month) and could not help but laugh. They are getting us again, all the people who ended their cable subscriptions. Before we know it, we will be paying over $100.00 again to watch TV. Its ridiculous, they are like…

The thing with Stephen King is his books are so easy to read. They are the definition of a page turner. You pick it up and think I'll start reading this and see if it is any good, and the next thing you know, four hours went by and your 400 pages into it. This story is one of his better later stories and does have…

This is the problem when a show is massively popular but has clearly overstayed its welcome. Its like the "Big Bang Theory" but zombies. Everything really is "who cares" because there is no end to this show, there is not even a hint of a solution. Once that became clear, the stakes were way lowered. It happened…

It was more common then people think. A big bed was expensive (and often did not fit most houses) and many married people considered sleeping together to be something you did only when you were trying to have a baby. That far back, people having sex just to have sex was a little scandalous, even married. Among more…

One of the things I like about period dramas is people were thick! There was no internet and people could be almost jaw droppingly clueless to a 2016 audience. Edith's pregnancy could have totally been hidden back then. Bertie could be that clueless. Even Mary who is more world weary still needed time to figure it…

I cannot separate the writing from the characters. Every sitcom would be great if it was written better or acted better. I am sure Howard and Bernadette would be an awesome couple if the writers found some way to make it great, but they don't so its not great. Same with the others.

This has constantly been brought up here even last year. All the couples are basically awful but they are in their "victory lap" after nine seasons and this show just will not go dark like that. Sheldon treated Amy horribly and they refused to break them up, and even if they dated IRL, Penny and Leonard just are not…

Nope, I am pretty sure it is a sitcom law that when one of the main characters gets a woman's phone number, even if under work related or really any non-asking out on a date circumstances, within ten minutes they are having sex with that person anyway. All TV females live in fear that anytime they have to give their…

Sheldon is the only funny thing left on the show. That is the problem though, none of the other characters are funny anymore and its a sitcom, so that is a problem. Sheldon basically carries the show now.

lol. Yep the old Seinfield trope of the out of shape, bald George Costanza who dated like 50 women in nine years, all pretty hot. Single men on TV (especially Two and a Half Men) are all basically like Hugh Hefner. No women ever turns these guys down for a date. IRL the new girl who gave him her number would say,…

Given the general "meh" and poor the comments always are about this show now on here, this show has clearly jumped the shark. What is everyone's opinion as to when that happened? Mine is last season when Sheldon "rode the rails" and did not talk to Amy for three months and she acted like it was no big deal and the…

Yep, this show is old and coasting. The whole premise of it is basically gone. They are no longer four nerdy guys but four nice boring guys all coupled up. Even Sheldon finally had sex and Raj has finally got a girlfriend, even if he broke up. None of the main characters can ever break up as they are all series…

It is easier to live with on other shows because they generally do not share villains. Jones' main villain on that show is directly tied to her, and "The Flash" villains tied to him, Thor's is Loki, Captain America's is his old friend, etc.. Here, supergirls bad guys (except Lord) are almost all the same as…
