New telly shows thread

[Darkflame]

yay!...ish.

Odd, last I heard it was microsoft backed and a xbox live thingy...guess that changed.
Hopefully they pick up from the end of the last epp and dont do a u-turn. Let them come out as mutants and move the plot forward - fed up with shows constantly pretending to be in our world.

Potentially more exciting for me is a Farscape movie, however;

Not holding my breath timewise and not having any mention of the original creator is odd....given he co-wrote the comics and the aborted mmo (which had some awesome ideas, incidently, based on the leaked design docs).

But still, Farscape is farscape.

I really like Rust. He holds the whole thing together.

Just seen episode two. It really is jaw dropping. And cheery too!

The hubris it must take to yank a soul out of non existence, into this..... meat. And to force a life into this, thresher. Yeah so my daughter, she uh, she spared me the sin of being a father.

Creepy Norma is back with her equally creepy son.

New show starting non Sunday. Looks OK. About a boy who died 30 years ago and has come back to life.

anyone else watching BROAD CITY?

new amy poeler-produced show. its like "girls" but actually funny in places.

took a good few episodes to get into it, but the last ep i saw, i *loved*

hannibal buress is gonna be huge. apparently he's louis CK's current favourite comedian (his standup dvd is great)

also, comedy central "panel" show... @midnight (at midnight for those searching certain nzb/torrent places) on comedy central is my current great waste of 20 minutes a night. bit hit and miss, but mostly pretty funny. doug benson is always good value when he's on (smith and mewes were on last night) - chris hardwick took a bit of getting used to (he's so SHOUTY!), but after you get used to it, its pretty good. POINTS!

finally, KROLL SHOW. again, very hit and miss, but when its good, its *really* good. especially if you watch (or are aware of) the bulk of current US trashy tv shows (gigolo house is piss funny, not too keen on publizity, and i cant get the LA DELI song out of my head!)

go take a look...

Poisson of Interest is finally back from its mid-season break!

Channel 5, 22:00. Be there, or be scrutinised by the Machine!

[Darkflame]

Person of Interest just gets better and better. Some really cracking episodes recently.

[Governmentyard]

I think True Detective, based on one episode so far, will appeal to anyone who has ever enjoyed it when a man who is good at taking videos of places does that.

Dem shots, man. Dem shots. Drama bit also good. May also appeal to fans of Michelle Monaghan's arse and Matthew McCono(spelling)'s face, both of which say so much, whilst saying so little.

I'm really really going to miss these guys.

And it continues to get better.

I think the series has been damaged by only broadcasting one or two episodes a month since the start of December, presumably because they had to wait for Captain America: The Winter Soldier to be released before they could properly launch the current story arc (involving the infiltration and dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., along with the killing of at least one major character from the comics). Now it's free to air weekly again but it appears that the network is still buggering about with the time it's shown.

[Darkflame]

Yes, the shows suddenly what it should have been.
Really great episode (I am one behind I think). Everyone acted smart.
Unlike the "lets send all the men after that Asgardian that can influence men" episode.

[Jonesey]

Ah yes - that Lorelei/Lady Sif thang. Rather than being a decent bit of fan service the whole thing was just - well - old school cringeworthy.
Mad hots for Ming-Na Wen, though.
