Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So what are you WATCHING?

I just started watching this a few weeks ago and I like it a lot. It has such a variety of fascinating characters, engaging and realistic plot twists and turns, and attention to historical ambience in every regard. I especially like watching how this diverse group of folks is learning to make a life (or not) in community together. We see the toughness and creativity of everyone as each tries to make a life for himself or herself up against the raw edges of ethnic, racial, gender, social, and economic barriers...all while trying to figure out where justice lies. A fascinating show!

3 episodes in, and I'm still into REVOLUTION. Charlie remains my primary draw; I was worried the show would become way too depressing but the glimmers of hope (like episode 3's ending) are very nice. Yeah, I know a show like TWD is probably a LOT more depressing in theory, but the fantasy element (zombies) just makes it different for me. REVOLUTION could threaten to just turn into a "people being awful to each other just because they can now" show, but I think that worry has been addressed in episode 3 somewhat.

Some incredibly implausible bits in the second Last Resort episode, but I'm still digging the show quite a bit. We'll see where it goes.

GLEE is amazing this season, last season was a super dud IMO, this one is back on track ... I almost cried. ok maybe a little.

Season 5 DVD of Burn Notice. It's getting a bit repetitious and I don't really care for the new bad guy. Fi is still easy to look at.

I watched the pilot of the West Wing last week ...

I think I will be addicted if I start watching it.

Its so 90s. and Alyson Janney!!!

*sigh* However, I bet its not a satire anymore because real life politics have surpassed the fictional in its absurdity.

tonight ... 666 ....

The West Wing is completely addicting... one of my favorite all time shows!

If you like the West Wing, you'll also like the Newsroom...

Right now, I'm watching season 1 of Homeland... I wasn't into it at first, but I've been sucked in...

REVOLUTION is losing me quickly. Too many of the characters are just really annoying to me.

Really digging VEGAS, however, which actually seems to be getting better with successive episodes. And looking forward to NASHVILLE's premiere tomorrow night.

Last night, I watched a couple of Greg The Bunny eps on disc, followed by the Marx Bros. in At The Circus.

Just what the doctor ordered.

I am so addicted to the West Wing ... I feel like I'm part of the cast ... I love my new friends.


I dropped 666. the biggest disappointment. I dropped Last Resort and Revolution.

Gossip Girl is in its final season and its pretty sad that that is the only show besides Star Trek TNG that I have followed straight through in real time as it aired.

I'm hanging in there for Elementary.


I've only seen episode 1 of the Newsroom, I really liked it, I don't have cable so I will have to wait until I can download it.

I'd rather Terry O'Quinn go back to Hawaii Five-0, so I'm pretty much hoping 666 gets cancelled.

I'm sure the viewers want some Terry O'Quinn and Vanessa Williams evil badnassery! Did we get that with episode 2? no, we got a story about some random lady. I'm not in it to see random Tales from the Darkseid one offs! I want to see Vanessa Williams snap that blonde lady's spine! and then I want to see Vanessa and Terry turn on each other! From episode two it seems like its not gonna be what I want for at least 10 or 11 episodes ... so I'm out. PEES!






notice how I spelled "dark side" .... that was unintentional.

I traveled all last week for work and missed all the shows (thankfully saw Walking Dead though).

I realized I didn't care all that much that I missed any of them. Only Vegas and Mob Doctor have me anxious to check in...for now.

Crap! Just when I was ready to give up on the show, I really like the latest episode!

Totally saw the twist at the end coming, but it worked well nonetheless! Neville's story was actually pretty interesting, and the Jeff Fahey appearance was pretty much awesome!

"The Help"

Now as chick-flickie as I thought it'd be. I imagine sales of chocolate pie are down.

I actually had to watch this one over two nights, as I found the first part to be a tremendous slog. The second part improved a good bit... but I'm sort of torn on Von Trier as a director.

I feel like he's very "unsubtle" in the messages he tries to put in his films. There's an old phrase about how to present things in meetings and such - "Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em; Then tell 'em; Then tell 'em what you told 'em." That works great for a powerpoint, but for a film? Not so much.

I think he's just depressed and makes movies about that.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY - ASYLUM premiere was off the hook crazy. It's still got some of the drawbacks of the original where it won't settle on a tone, but in this episode turns it to its advantage by throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the premiere. In a single hour we get Horror, suspense, melodrama, sci-fi, period piece, and probably four other genres all thrown in a blender for a messy but tasty cocktail. If they can keep this up, it will be a very entertaining series.

Is American Horror story Asylum different than American Horror Story or is it Season 2?

Did they pull a Spartacus?

I like Clea Duval and Adam Levine as well!

It's a new "series" with a lot of the same actors (playing different characters). It looks like each year they'll do a complete story and then move on.

It's great because people who like Adam Levine can tune in to see him, and people who don't can tune in to see horrible things happen to him.

Oh I see, thanks.

Jessica Lange is just too good of an actress ... she creeps me the f out!

I'm not sure if I will stick with this though, I had a hard time getting through Season one.

The acting is way too good and believable ... I like my horror to be a bit camp ... If its too realistic I just feel transported into this horrible situation. Too intense.

Especially the murder scene of the gay couple, it was just too real for me.

^ I really enjoyed AHS season 1. I actually thought it was very camp. Especially the gay couple whom I loved. I do agree that their murder scene was particularly horrible though. It was all laugh, laugh, laugh and then... head smash. That was difficult to watch.

The rest of the show was a hoot though. I loved all of the genre/tone-shifts. Screwing up tone is usually something that throws me right out of a show but this one worked because it was intentionally so all-over-the-place. I just jumped on the ride and let the show take me where it took me.

I also really like that it was a finite story in season 1 and now the show has completely reinvented itself for season 2. That seems like a unique concept to me. Have any shows ever done that before?
