TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[ghostrunner]

For TWD...

[SHOW]

-Carl got shot in the face, in the eye even, and didn't die

-That family that nobody cared about all very conveniently died but none of the major characters died (with one of them even being shot in the [expletive] face, for crying out loud)

-Glenn was surrounded by a billion zombies for like the 10th time now, only to be magically saved yet again

-Rick decided to rush out from a perfectly safe house and attack a horde of zombies, and then...

-everyone else decided it was a good idea so they did it too, and then...

-still nobody died

-And then Daryl becomes a magical unicorn superhero who swoops in at the last moment with a rocket launcher to save everyone...

-TWICE

-And the first time Daryl did it, it only worked because Negan's entire crew and the leader of Negan's crew was too busy giving a soliloquy about eating poop to notice or hear Daryl beating the [expletive] out of someone or see him come running up with a rocket launcher

They really need to kill someone soon, and stop saving people from absurd scenarios. I don't mind it every once in awhile but the frequency that they do it is beyond ridiculous. I thought it was one of the dumbest, worst, sloppiest, most inconceivably convenient episodes in years. And that's on top of the [expletive] at the end of last half season when you know who dumpstered his way out of absurd levels of danger. Like... a bad enough episode to make me think about giving up on the show altogether.

I share a lot of the same problems with the show...a lot of people do. The whole Glenn thing was ridiculous, and everyone shares that viewpoint. Glenn escaping zombies due to the dumpster drove the show to a new low. It was weak writing in a show of weak writing to drag on a storyline. That has always been a complaint of mine...dragging the story out...but I was happy to see the Alexandria family get eaten.

I still have no idea why they tried to lure the zombies out of the quarry. It seems like that would be the perfect spot to lure a bunch of zombies, chuck a few grenades every month, wash, rinse, repeat...all they had to do was reinforce the cars (which the apparently had a ton of cars to line the streets).

My wife, who has read the comics, was really excited for Negan...and I think our lust of main cast deaths will be coming true sooner rather than later. I hope.

A few friends of ours started a Walking Dead Fantasy Football-like league...we had to pick who was going to die this season. I picked as many Alexandrians as possible. It definitely adds to the watch party experience...rooting for characters to die.

Maggie appearing to completely forget about her sister and only living blood relative for multiple episodes was really frustrating. Yet vocally concerned about Glenn anytime he'd go off and do something. And then Daryl comes back from finding out that Beth is alive - no conversation with Maggie, no indication that Maggie gives two [expletive] one way or the other. I didn't even care that much about Beth, but Jesus that was annoying.

David Milch, creator of "Deadwood", co-creator of "NYPD Blue", gambled away every dime of his $100 million fortune at the racetrack.

and spent the $8.50 he made on John From Cincinnati at Arby's for lunch.

Man, I really wanted to like Baskets. I like Zach Galfinakis. I think Louis CK is brilliant, and love his show. But Baskets is dull as [expletive]. It's a comedy without humor, little in the way of characters, and nothing happens.

As tipster Sang points out, he is introduced as a president of a foreign company’s Korean branch. His character is divorced, and Na-ra Jang’s character asks him to describe his ideal type of woman.Conan’s character decides not to join the marriage partner search because he’s fallen in love with Na-ra Jang’s character and says that if he joins, he cannot flirt with her. She says that coming on this strong makes her uncomfortable and has put her in a bad mood. (Neat factoid? The woman playing Conan’s interpreter in the scene was actually his interpreter during the trip.)

The second season of The Returned went up on Netflix the other day. Had to watch the Season 1 finale last night because I'd forgotten some things.

Also, it's nice to see this actress again:

This season of The Amazing Race is all "social media stars".

I've realized that I hate all of these people.

This season of The Amazing Race is all "social media stars".

I've realized that I hate all of these people.

I recognized one of the guys from Rooster Teeth, so I'm de facto rooting for them.

I still like this more than the blind date season.

The Walking Dead...

It'd be a little too on the nose, but I wonder if Jesus is going to make some sort of heroic sacrifice. I generally miss symbolism, at least the first time, but when he introduced himself to Rick and Daryl, he perfectly mimicked the crucifixion pose.

Am i being a fanboy when i say that Better Call Saul has been pretty good?

Granted there's not much really to talk about but i cant wait til he goes rogue. Looks like that's slowly happening.
