Before recently, I hadn't watched SVU in perhaps 6-8 years. I stumbled across three new episodes a few weeks ago, and I was shocked to find that two of them were reasonably well-written. I absolutely did not expect that at all. They actually focused on ONE THING for the entirety of each of the episodes, instead of…

I think it's a safe assumption, but damn, I was hoping for specific inside-Amazon details on Carter's total incompetence. Oh well.

I'm no expert on this, but are you adding some exercise too? Even if it's just extra walking, you'll (eventually) feel better. Of course that will also require more calories than just sitting around, but if they're needed, make them healthy calories and you'll be good.

"A pilot that was supposed to go to series but was quietly scrapped when
it became apparent that Carter had no idea where the story was supposed
to go after the pilot."

Netflix co-production, so it stays.

I'd say season 1 is somewhat worthwhile if you like Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson. Wilson is totally fucking awesome. With each successive season, the show gets worse. Season 2 is sometimes just sort of vaguely passable; season 3 is slop.

Thanks! That helps a lot. I saw most everything up through Lion 2. I'll definitely watch House Guest along with the mythology episodes.

So this is the first time I've tuned in since last season and I was really NOT impressed. It's not usually this bad, is it? "Tired tropes" is definitely accurate. LaToya still cuts this one a lot more slack than I would've though. Bleh! Please tell me it's usually better than this?

My prediction: Most of the predictions of standard-issue blandness are confounded by Colbert and his writers, who cook up a whole range of funny and silly new characters for Colbert to play (think Esteban Colberto, but more… a lot more). Though they mostly steer away from political content. (But not any more so than…

I was following Steven Universe for a while and then lost track of it after last May when I moved. I really liked some episodes but was really indifferent to some of the sillier ones. This talk of more continuity and backstory intrigues me. If I'm going to catch up on the show, are there any episodes in particular I…

I lived in a mostly-not-so-nice neighboring city in NJ until recently. When I was looking at moving, I eyed JC and Queens, but much of non-hipster Brooklyn (Kensington/Sunset Park/etc.) was not any more expensive from what I could see, so I went there. JC used to be a place where you could find some good bargains but…

The sound mix was still not as bad as on modern Doctor Who. If you want to watch a good show with really terrible, frequently-maudlin, overly-obvious music that drowns out everything else, that wins the prize. I often keep the captions on, but not because of the accents, just because of the music. I didn't have much…

It got really good in the middle of the first season. It was not as campy or tongue-in-cheek as Hercules/Xena and had really well-done action scenes and hot bad-ass ass-kicking ladies, so I was really into it. Bummer that Tribune fucked it up. And now they've failed to get Craig Ferguson's new show on the air as well.…

Hang in there, pal!

It's Chris Carter. He probably wrote a bunch of gibberish with non-endings that provide absolutely no resolution whatsoever and hinted at stringing along the audience for an eternity, and Amazon, bless them, started to see through his bullshit and realized that the man is a complete huckster. Maybe they actually asked…

British show?!? I know @superfandral:disqus already commented on this, but BBC America ain't the BBC, as much as its name suggests otherwise. Like every other channel, it has jumped on the "we MUST have original content" bandwagon, and good for us Orphan Black fans. This show didn't even get a deal for UK broadcast on…

The question is, who owns the VOD services and is THEIR cybersecurity up to snuff? On Demand isn't just a service, it's an actual company. I'm too lazy to go look up who owns it, but they could be a bunch of sniveling cowards like Sony for all we know.

Don't worry. Gracepoint got appalling ratings on Fox.

It's premiering in the wasteland of December, which means that TNT has lost whatever hope they originally had in it (or has fired the executives who originally ordered it up) and is dumping it unceremoniously. But as for why they originally ordered it, who knows? Baffling.

Preach it, brother Dickhead! Supernatural is the most overrated pile of meh EVER.
