Re: Doctor Who it took a few episodes before a good one. But there have been some REALLY good ones so far.

[Gnaw]

Boston Legal bubbled up on my hard drive. Spader and Shatner are hilarious.

I kinda like the new Constantine show. Only seen two episodes of it, but I'll come back to it.

Right now, on episode 6 of Orphan Black - which promises to be as full of nuttery as possible.

Agreed. (Shit, weird things happen when PG and I agree historically) Easily the best one yet.

Pros:

Little-to-no Fish (Jada Pinkett)

Gordon FINALLY does something about those mobster guys trying to strongarm him, shoots one AND kicks him in the head....wrangles his off-kilter partner Harvey into line...and then has the nutsack to try to arrest both the mayor AND Falcone!

More Penguin excellence, and a twist I wasn't expecting.

All around great stuff, and the best the writing has been so far.

I agree with you BK. But tbh the show is plateauing for me at "okay". I did like the cartoon/comic booky bomb. Liked the cordon of nuns but hated the truck stopping just in time. Talk about zero suspense. I think maybe a moving vehicle stopping just in time is my single most hated cliche. There's still the Penguin, Bullock, and glimmers of interesting ideas throughout though.

Edit: Wanna add that Fish's main enforcer is actually really great in his role too.

I just watched the Constatine pilot. It was ok, nice visuals. What was wrong with Liv exactly though that they demanded to replace her? I don't get it.

There wasn't anything wrong per se, they just decided they could do more interesting things with someone who wasn't totally knew to the world to carry around. The second episode, despite being blatant filler put together quickly to introduce her replacement, Zed, is imo instantly more engaging for her presence, especially her ability to answer back to John.

Carrying a little lost sheep like that just isn't Constantine's style.

Began a long overdue re-watch of the original series STAR TREK. No one acts like The Shat.

watch Boston Legal. He actually does act in it. Very well. And he's hilarious.

Watched the entirety of Black Mirror over the last couple of days. Flipping heck but that is a disturbing show. Excellently done, well written and cast, but it doesn't half make you uncomfortable (and yeah, that's the point of the show but still!)

Highly recommended. Also, they are all standalone episodes, so you don't need to watch them in order. Plus there's only 6 so it shouldn't take too long to watch.

DVR'd Too Many Cooks airing on Cartoon Network during Adult Swim. I wanted to know what all the hype was about. Adult Swim, you have outdone yourself. Too Many Cooks requires more then one viewing.

Also, about Adult Swim. The 3rd season of The Eric Andre Show premiered last week. It's still as messed up as ever. Seth Rogan and porn star Asa Akira were the guests. And the show closed with Exhumed and The Supremes performing at the same time.

The second season of The Fall (with Gillian Anderson) started yesterday on the BBC. The first one was a masterpiece in tension and creepyness, and this first episode was no different. Really good show.

How to get away with murder started off pretty damn great for the 1st 3 epi or so. To me it has gone downhill after that. It's become REALLY predictable and Soap Opariey.

I expected soapy from Shonda (Greys Anatomy) Rimes, so I didn't even bother with it.

About halfway through Series 1 of THE INBETWEENERS, and I can't stop laughing.

Presumably the British version not the rubbish US remake. And yes. It is brilliantly funny. And it only gets more cringingly, awkwardly funny from this point.

Yeah, the British one. I've been binge-watching it all day. On the final ep of Series 3 now, and will have to find the movie.

I honestly can't believe how much these four guys screw up with girls. LOL

You'll like the movie. Which reminds me, I still haven't seen the second one.

Do you know what I haven't actually seen either movie. I probably should do.

Just discovered the E4 show DRIFTERS, and watched two episodes. Really funny stuff! Worth a look (I think they are in series 2 now).
