So, you don't like Dexter but you watch MST3K? And you dare criticize Dexter of bad writing?
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. We will all cease listening to you now.

I just finished watching Superjail, it's quite refreshingly surreal.
That's probably one of the best cartoons on TV right now.

You get that the point of MST3K is the bad writing, right? You get that. Right?

Ok, I didn't understand. My bad.

I’m borrowing Firefly from a friend right now. So far I’ve only watched the pilot, and while it’s okay I hope the other episodes aren’t so slow going.

Yeah, the first episode is very slow to get going. The second episode is better, but the series doesn't really kick in to gear until about episodes three or four.

Sekto Springs 11-12-2012 03:57 PM

I watched the newest episode of Adventure Time, which was continuing from last week's episode where shit started to get real. This episode was a massive mindfuck that puts Inception to shame. This show is getting intense.

Mr. Bungle 11-12-2012 04:53 PM

God, I need to catch up. I'm only on season 3. I enjoy it and all, but I know how insane it gets later on and I'm so tempted to skip to season 4.

I watched the english-language remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was extremely good but all I could think while I was wathcing it was 'This isn't necessary why did they make it.'

Also Superjail is probably the most energetic show. Period. The animation is so spastic and wild but completely fluid, it's like being hyponotized by a voretex of gore. Goretex.

I've been watching the latest season of The Walking Dead and I'm loving it. It's probably one of the best things on TV at the minute.

I'm not going to spoil anything so instead I'm going to post this. Probably one of the best reactions I've ever seen. it's really not meant to be funny...which is the funny part.

I'm watching it too :) It's a lot different to the comic book, although they take a few basic plot ideas and give them new spins. The new characters in Woodbury bring a lot more to the story and have really upped the ante in terms of empathy and danger. I've even get tons of Walking Dead Minecraft skins on my PC!

Lately I've also been watching Red Dwarf X, Andrew Marr's History of the World (amazing show), Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan and Inspector Montalbano. I'm also on the third series of 24.

The last episode of WD was shit. Like, really shit. Nothing important really happened in it, it was just boring.

Crashpunk 11-13-2012 04:26 AM

Which Episode are you up to? Here in the UK, We're only at episode 3 and it was packed with drama. Two characters died and everything.

Dynamithix 11-13-2012 04:35 AM

The fifth episode I believe, that's the last one. And it was shit. But yeah, wait till you see the fourth episode Crash, it's good.

Phylum 11-14-2012 02:20 AM

I watched the second half of the second season of Archer.

I loved the first episode I saw. I've enjoyed every subsequent episode slightly less until the finale, which was great. It certainly has it's moments and on the whole I'm enjoying it. The cancer episodes were a bit over the top, but I really laughed at the cop-out ending. The sequence wasn't funny, but the idea was so cheap and predictable.

I already posted this somewhere else - it was hilarious (the scene, not the post)

and I find this season catastrophically bad. all the characters act strange and illogical.

those rednecks totally surprised the fully trained soldiers. yeah of course
the last episode: carol vanished, so they all assume she's dead? without even looking for her? wtf - and the best thing is, they're digging! a grave for her, without burying the body, because there's none. LOL, I mean I could understand, if they'd make a "symbolic" grave, but digging a complete hole, that is just weird. they try to survive a zombie apocalypse - that is really energy consuming, so I bet they'd have better things to do.
when rick, after his rampage, finally enters that boiling room, he finds a puddle of blood, sprinkled with some tiny flesh pieces. when I saw this, I DIDN'T get the idea, that the zombie with the big belly was supposed to have eaten her up, because it doesn't make any sense. he literally dispatched her body completely. including all her bones, and all there is left, is that swollen belly?

and there are hundreds of other plot holes - unnecessary plot holes

Mr. Bungle 11-14-2012 03:28 AM

Walking Dead has been shit since the second season. I'm not surprised this hasnt changed, despite hoping it would.

But kids just loooove those zombies, so I don't think it'll be going anywhere soon.

scrabface 11-14-2012 03:33 AM

don't get me wrong, I always loved zombie movies and I think the comic's great.

Mr. Bungle 11-14-2012 03:54 AM

Oh, I do too. And I have yet to read the comic. But from what I've heard they've changed how the story arcs play out quite a bit in the TV show comapred to the comic.

I think the comic is much worse than the show. People still act in extremely unnatural, and illogical ways, there is little to no actual character development, and the pacing is fucking awful. The comic is basically this; This happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened. It's like reading a story by an impatient four year old.

Mr. Bungle 11-14-2012 06:27 AM

Well that explains why the show is so bad.

Steamer_KING 11-14-2012 06:49 AM

I used to love zombies, but man...it's too much now. I'm with Nate on this one, it's time for another kind of apocalypse/monsters/"human vs anything that seems superior bullshit".

Mr. Bungle 11-15-2012 06:53 AM

Just watched the Adventure Time episode Fiona and Cake. Please tell me these aren't just one-off characters, would love to see more of them. Cake is amazing.

OANST 11-15-2012 06:59 AM

I think they have a new one coming up soon.

Mr. Bungle 11-15-2012 07:07 AM

So I take it they aren't real characters in the story? Just twisted fragments of the Ice King's imagination? That's too bad.

Sekto Springs 11-15-2012 09:15 AM

There's supposedly a crossover episode on the horizon where Finn and Jake meet Fionna and Cake, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Phylum 11-16-2012 12:48 AM

Red Dwarf X is on over here, so I've watched the first 2 episodes.

They're not great and there have been better episodes, but I'm enjoying it. It still feels like Red Drawf, even if the actors are older. Both episodes have had standout moments in "a moose!" and Chinese whispers respectively. Lots of people are saying that it's not as good as earlier seasons, but Red Drawf episodes haven't come close to some of the early gems in almost 20 years.

It's not perfect, but it's good enough for me.

Mr. Bungle 11-16-2012 08:58 PM

Just finished season 3 of Adventure Time

Holy shit this show is deep.

Sekto Springs 11-16-2012 10:50 PM

The next season is going to blow your mind. Hard.

Dixanadu 11-17-2012 08:38 PM

I watched seven episodes of Super Jail tonight at a friends, episodes were burned onto a disc for us to watch. Before I watched them, Chris introduced to me to the 'worm' video and the 'Time police'.

Loved all the episodes. I found myself chuckling at least, and at most, laughing my ass off. The humour is right down my alley.

Jailbot is at the top of the pile. It's Christmas execution was my favourite.

Vyrien 11-18-2012 03:17 AM

If you haven't already, you should go watch the other episodes. The first two seasons are absolutely brilliant.

For the record, the Twins are my favourite characters.

OANST 11-19-2012 06:17 AM

Superjail is pretty amazing.
