Re: The TV Series Thread

I'm totally the opposite of that. I love coming home after a long day of work or at the Uni and just put on a show and think of nothing. Three shows just isn't going to cut it then.

Fringe is going to be awesome again, loving that trailer. Also looking forward to some new Dexter, Spartacus, Community, Homeland, Shameless, Suits, Supernatural, TBBT and White Collar.

Not sure if these have been posted yet, but these are looking promising:

Revolution (2012)

J.J. Abrams!

Zero Hour

Elementary

Modern Sherlock Holmes.

666 Park Avenue

I don't know if your thinking of the same new Sherlock Holmes, but there was this british mini series on BBC called Sherlock. I watched the series finale and it was brilliant, looking foward to the new season to see if I go up to a 4 TV series man.

by Madvillain Sat Jul 21, 2012 1:40 pm

Yeah, I know about that one. Didn't really like that show as much though, I don't know. When it comes down to British shows nothing beats Luther.

by TalkingReckless Sat Jul 21, 2012 5:11 pm

the writers of BBC's are angry because CBS wanted a NY version of their story but they denied it, and now they are starting their own. and the BBC writers think it will undermine theirs if it fails.

btw i hate it whenever there is a good show in UK they try to copy it US but majority of the time fail badly because they make it too similar.

My biggest problem with this is why is a women(Lucy Liu) playing Watson?

In lack of science fiction,I started watching Stargate Universe,must say I am pleasantly surprised.Not bad at all...Best of the franchise IMO.Such a shame it was canceled...

SGU was too much like a space version of Lost. But it was good for what it was. I preferred Atlantis and SG-1 though.

by Mamad Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:52 am

2nd Season of Hell On Wheels starts next week. can't wait!
Yvonne Strahovski in Dexter! Awesome.

Ultimately it's a poor mans Battlestar Galactica...Never seen SG1 and Atlantis continuously,only when I catch it on SyFy(or SciFi) but there seems to be a lack of a constant background story unlike on SGU.Also the ridiculousness of the Teal'c character always puts me of SG1 and on Atlantis it was the repetition.The same situations over and over,characters were so badly predictable...

by McLewis Sat Aug 04, 2012 12:05 pm

Hey now!

I liked Teal'c. One of my favorite characters and majorly responsible for the word "indeed" becoming one of my favorite words to say lol.

SG1 and Atlantis actually did have pretty good background plots. There was always a main story arc that a season focused on, it was just broken up into smaller plots to stretch out the season.

Emo face on a 100 year old big bald muscular guy with a golden tattoo on his forehead and a snake in his belly,just did not compute for me Smile

by RedOranje Sat Aug 04, 2012 7:12 pm

But the idea of alien worm parasites controlling people, and upright puddles that could teleport you around the galaxy (and beyond) did? Also, Universe is built on the previous series...

SG1 was fantastic while Richard Dean Anderson was a main member of the team, but I didn't like his replacement as much.

No.

At least the puddles are based on a theoretically possible concept...

Stumbled upon this video on youtube and it just reminded of why the newsreader from 'Rome' is one of my favorite characters in a tv series. Absolutely brilliant acting Laughing

by shinigami99 Sat Aug 04, 2012 8:59 pm

Suits and White Collar are pretty damn good. Very few actually watch White Collar (well at least, compared to Suits).

I also watch HIMYM, NCIS, Nikita, Burn Notice, Big bang theory and I plan to watch Community very soon.

NCIS is going nowhere though, I'm kind of getting bored with the whole bad guy of the week without any movement to the central story (though arguably many shows are like that-but their characters make the show more fun to watch).

Burn Notice atm is kick-ass, unlike previous season which was a bit slow.

Watching Monk atm, kinda old but very good. Brilliant acting in this one

AAAAAAAAAAAGh Tonight was one of the best episodes of Suits :bow:

I'd rank it my second favorite episode after the pilot. Harvey :bow:

EDIT: Last night I should say, I just watched it tonight Very Happy

I've started watching Continuum now. It's a decent sci-fi show from the looks of it and the lead actress is pretty nice so I'm probably going to keep watching. Don't expect good acting or great effects though.
