Hahaha the season opener for SVU is "not based on any real person or event" and has the "best contender for next prime minister of Italy" suspected of raping a hotel maid
Stay classy, Dick

Supernatural had a very strong season premiere. This season's big bad could be fun.
Anyone watch the Terra Nova premiere? Is it any good?
I have to admit that Star Trek's time travel antics weaned me off any series based on the concept of time travel.Quote:

Oh, well, will have a look at Terra Nova regardless.
That said, "Person of Interest" did not really excite me. Kinda "meh". And the second episode of "The Secret Circle" is also kind of boring. And now, off to have a look at "Charlie's Angels" - I do fear that will be as bad as it sounds.
edit: Couldn't stand it past the first 5 minutes.

Went through first 20 minutes of Terra Nova so far and it still doesn't look like a series really worth while.
God, 24 minutes and I get the feeling I shouldn't have bothered.

Spoiler:
I think I'm going to give A Gifted Man a chance. There's potential, but also a possibility of going down the stupid path like there was no tomorrow. But it's better fluff than Grey's Anatomy at this point, so let's see what happens.
Sometimes I just hate Law and Order. On principle. They sucked me in so many times, only to change their cast I loved so much.
TNT is running old episodes, with original actors, scripts and plots. The very things that attracted me to the series in the first place. Older episodes were grittier, maybe overly dramatic but also more realistic. But partly what made earlier episodes "great" was using unknown actors, new actors, new filming techniques and story telling approaches. Made it very fresh.
Then it turned into fandom. I'd be the first to admit that I wanted to watch the cast of characters, long before they'd managed to become STARS. Even after the star roles were replaced by other actors, or writers were replaced, and the grittiness was scaled back, and the theme music was fucked up....I remained a fan.
I'm still a fan, but a reluctant one. :mad:
This might be part of my changing attitude: http://www.eonline.com/on/shows/ice_...oco/index.html

The true star, the embodiment of the franchise, is Dick Wolf
You have to understand, this is crucial to comprehending the series, the nature of Dick Wolf
This man, he is the negative image of Santa Claus. Whenever a child is raped, a daughter is murdered, a convenience store robbed, Dick Wolf was behind it. Every time a crooked cop walks away with it, it was for Dick Wolf. Every beaten rapist, every sodomized murderess, each of these second-order terms of human misery, arranged for us by Dick Wolf.
It says so at the end of every episode. Dick Wolf. You don't mess with the Dick, Dick messes you up. He will twist and pervert you, turn your sense of justice up-side down, juggle it around a bit, makes you care for and love creatures who are profoundly terrifying and wrong; he is the man who can turn Dr. Mengele into Americana. You don't mess with Dick Wolf! But you sure as shit never escape from Dick Wolf, either.
CHUNG CHUNK
Is his name a carefully crafted creation, too? I mean, seriously....DICK WOLF? That's a joke, right?
Saw it. Meh. Not terrible. Not too good either. I wish I could say I saw potential here for it to turn out great, but I just don't.Quote:

They take away some of the retardedness by explaining that it's a different time stream, thus none of their actions will have an effect on the future they come from.Quote:

I think that, with that one sentence, you just went way beyond the scientific knowledge of the writers.
TV sucks :mad:

Very old teevee :)
Very old crap teevee, more like.
Fawlty Towers is still one of the best series. John Cleese is a comedic master. :heart:
One of my favorite movies is A Fish Called Wanda. :up:
Seems pretty confirmed. 10 new episodes of Arrested Development, followed by a movie.Quote:
The discussion took place at The New Yorker Festival, and based off Huwitz's comments on stage, the official New Yorker Twitter feed, wrote, "Arrested Development coming back for one more TV season before movie." New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff was also in attendance at the Q&A and tweeted, "Mitch Hurwitz says he plans limited Arrested Development series (9-10 eps, 1 character per ep) that would lead into movie."
So if they can bring back a seven years dead tv show for a new season...when do we get season two of Firefly?
Two words: QI :mad::up:

I've been hearing that Terra Nova has gotten good. Anyone been paying enough attention to it to say whether or not that's bullshit?
On another topic, I don't ever want to see that red-neck Marty Stu on Bones again.
Nope. Got about halfway through the third episode of Terra Nova and realised it was a teenie show with lots of good-looking American teenies having teenie tantrums, and very little else.
