Thread: teevee sucks

    A few teaser clips were released today—as individual frames to fans on twitter—to whet our appetite before the trailer drops tomorrow.

    Damane being mean to the wonder-girls:

    I'm holding off on the trailers.

    Jury duty is hilarious.

    Just binged the first three eps of season 2 of WoT, with my wife and baby doing the same on the tablet. Enjoyed it immensely, changes and all. Approve of Prison Break Rand's fucked-up toxic relationship. The direction and cinematography etc. will never feel as stylish as eg. Disney's Star Wars shows, but jfc did they (mostly) nail the casting and the character portrayals. Feels very cohesive, and, for attentive viewers, there are many clear signs that showrunner & actors have a good idea of where they're going and how they'll get there. Plot has more room to breathe. Every aspect of the production has improved. I honestly feel like they fumbled the Accepted test a little wrt the storytelling; they should've been able to much better with the first parts. Some of the channeling is still marred by Pike's initial choreography choices. Idk how to feel abt the changes to Perrin's abilities, but I def. enjoyed Rutherford's scenes much more in these eps than I did in s1. Idec, very psyched abt ep4.

    I don't know if I liked all changes. The story line switch between Matt and Perrin seems superfluous. And the changes to the Seanchan reduces them a bit to your typical imperialist power, which they weren't in the books. I do like the casting, and I think I should say Meera Syal as Verin was a golden find.

    Overal satisfying.

    Just binged 'blocco 181' on Skyshowtime. Good old fashioned Italian hard crime show mixed in with a traditional Romeo and Juliette situation, with the twist of there being one Juliette but two Romeo's.

    The only bad thing I have to say about this show is that there only is a single season. And no chance for a second.

    Wheel of time gave us a decent 4th episode in season 2, though I was kind of thrown off by Moraine 's actions. I didn't really like it. Even though I understand how they used it to move the story ahead.

    Never seen the anime, but, apart from the protagonist being the most annoying character I've ever seen, I really enjoyed One Piece. They should make a show with just the supporting cast.

    It was surprisingly good! But such an elaborate "prank" left me feeling bad for the guy. Using schadenfreude for entertainment isn't such a good thing, really.
