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

That's true, I can't believe I didn't realize that until now. It's waaaaay, way off. Bad writing is what that is!

Screw you all, and have a nice day!

How have I never watched Generation Kill before?

5 episodes in and I'm loving it.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Started Season 1 of ORPHAN BLACK and the wife and I were really underwhlemed by it...and Tatiana Maslany creeps me the fuck out. I have no idea why but she just unsettles me.

We'll probably watch all of S1 (since I bought it)...but so far we are both struggling to find it interesting.

Probably because she's actually a real clone.

Also, I agree re: Killjoys episode 3. But what about Dark Matter episode 4? I think that really stepped it up from the previous three episodes. It was directed by Amanda Tapping (Carter from SG-1), and it really had that same feel that a good Stargate episode does. I think this show has a lot more potential now.

I thought the show had a thread but couldn't find it. The Strain S2 starts tonight!

I think its the "How do you post and/or poop?" thread.

Watched the first episode of Killjoys. It has potential, but it's missing that element of danger. I see a a couple posts that it is getting better, so I'll make an effort to get through episode 4.

Finished the wire. Officially the best cop show, and possibly best drama, ever on TV.

Sad there aren't more seasons, but it might be best this way. It might have ran the perfect length, maybe should have gotten one more season.

God, I probably really need to watch The Wire.

Also, Suits is back for anyone that didnt know, like me.

Wonder if I should bother trying to continue watching Extant.

Anyone watch the first episodes of Jim Gaffigan's show? Probably gonna be worth a watch.

No Touchy.

The little skit with the money in the ear trick was fantastic. Also in the one you posted, "space dynamite" is perhaps the funniest thing they've ever come up with.

I really enjoyed early "The Whispers", but it's getting worse. Characters are evolving, but the plot-line is becoming more blaze and bland. Still holding out hope, but as shit gets more extenuated I'm becoming more MEH.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Yeah we're on like episode 5 of that and it took us ages going "I KNOW that guy!" Still, it is really good and there have been some pretty cool reveals in the last couple of episodes.

Season 2 Bojack Horseman was really good. A big improvement over the first one.

It's season two and there are still 12 monkeys? What are the monkey hunters doing, just sitting around blowing smoke up each other's butts? Terrible show.
