Anyone want to see a really cool video about a TV series called Yonderland? I'll conveniently provide you with such a video right here on the board!



Awesome, and now that that's done, I'll go back and read the recent posts in this thread by my fellow board compatriots and see what they had to say today.

I love the Horrible Histories show so I shall definitely be aiming to see this!

1) Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is flipping ace. Seriously, episode 6 was intense!
2) Humans continues to be fascinating. I feel like it is building to something.
3) I only have 1 more season of 30 Rock to watch and that kind of bums me out, I have loved it massively!

Anyone watching The Whispers?

I wasn't expecting much from this but really enjoyed the first two eps and now on board for the rest of the season!

Quote

An unseen force is manipulating society's most innocent-our children-to act in favor of its cause. As the kids unwittingly help this unknown enemy, the clock counts down in this suspenseful race to save humanity.

We just watched the first 3 episodes of this the last 2 nights. It's a creepy premise using the children in this way. We like it so far and are in for the time being to see where it goes...

The Last Ship S2 started last night. It wasn't that bad for a pop corn show.

I was surprised they wrapped up that plot line in the season premiere. If they are just going to cruising up and down the east coast helping random groups out ala the A-Team, I don't think I'll be watching the show much longer.

Gah, my DVR backlog is brutal...

Orphan Black s3
Person of Interest entire most recent season
The entire second halves of this seasons' Arrow, Flash and Agents of Sheild
Six eps of Agent Carter
Daredevil s1
Sense8
Penny Dreadful to date
Killjoys and Dark Matter premieres.

...fuck. I need to stop sleeping.

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

Killjoys has a lot of a potential. Dutch is super hot.

The twist at the end of Orphan Black s03e10 was pretty interesting.

Spoiler

Referring to that insect in Nealon's mouth. Not sure what to think of it. Any ideas?

[worry]

This board is the only place I've even heard of Killjoys or Dark Matter. Are you sure they're real?

Well, Dark Matter fits the calculations, but has not been observed yet...

Canadian shows are Canadian.

Pretty sure, but then again, I have been in a dark place lately, so I might have been hallucinating. Are we having a shared hallucination?

They have potential, but iffy.

So Very polite tho'.

Finished watching 30 Rock. Such a funny show. Suitably well done finale.

Watched the first episode of Sense8. Intriguing enough to make me want to keep watching!

Hell yes! Graceland S3 starts tonight!

Damn you.

I read that as Gracepoint and went flying to imdb.

Yesterday I saw an episode of Gilligan's Island I had no memory of where a big game hunter comes to the island to hunt and kill one of the castaways, and he chooses Gilligan. Very dark stuff, man. The hunter is played by Rory Calhoun of Simpsons "Be My Vest" fame, and his manservant was played by Odd-Job. I think it's time for a gritty reboot.

Ginger and Mary Ann are still alive. So how about a story arc where the Hot in Cleveland crew take a vacation to Hawaii, go on a charter boat ride, and crash onto the island. Ashton Kutcher could play the new Gilliganesque character and William Shatner the captain.

Think of all the geriatric sex jokes. Dark enough for you?

I watched the second episode of Killjoys today. I'm not sure if I liked it or not. CGI is servicable, certainly, decent enough effects and some good ideas. However, some things just didn't sit right with me. Like the enemy NPCs in todays episode. They looked very clichéish, very! To be honest, they looked very unoriginal, like the showrunners had already run out of ideas, or were just phoning it in.

The story was classic "save the mayors daughter" type. That's not necessarily a bad thing and it was good enough I suppose. The acting, well, I'm afraid it seems like the actors weren't taking it too seriously. Shame, because this could get on to be an entertaining show. It's just not quite there yet.

I'll be watching Dark Matter tomorrow. I'm not expecting a whole lot, but I AM expecting better. Dark Matter is the better show of the two.

On another note, do any of you know if something more is coming of the Ascension mini? That was a pretty damn good show.
Edit: nevermind, just found that it has officially been cancelled. Fuck!

I just read this list of rules from the creator of Killjoys:

http://thinkprogress...ex-positive-tv/

I was originally thinking that (though hoping against) they were going to create some sort of awkward three-way love triangle, but that list of rules makes me think that they won't be shoehorning in stupid romance plots.

The scale of Killjoy ship from outside to inside is WAY off. You can really tell this on Ep 2.

Yeah, I was confused by that. I thought at first they were in a shuttle, but nope.
