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

The bad-guys on that show are memorable and fun, which is half the battle, I think. It's easy enough to have some compelling good-guys, but without challenging and fleshed-out bad-guys, it's all for naught. Percy, Amanda and the lesser-seen Roan are all great villains. Birkhoff is also cool, as the only person allowed to be funny, among all the ultra-serious badasses.

Watched the first 6 Agent Carter episodes and even though they occasionally drive the story with some serious plot holes, I like the characters, the acting and the plots.


They certainly aren't afraid to kill people though: getting a bit over the top early. Could get tiresome.

I thought there were only going to be six episodes?

They just called today's ep, the 8th, the final of the season.

Antenna TV is showing the 1980s Newhart. I forgot just how hot Peter Scolari was.

Ru Paul's Drag Race is back again! he he he

He's currently the main character's dad on Girls (but isn't on the show a lot)

He's still got a certain something.

In the past few months, my wife and I have been big on rewatching great TV shows from start to finish. We watched The Sopranos and then Rescue Me before the holidays, both of which held up great.

We took a quick detour to catch season 3 of Once Upon a Time, which was phenomenal, the last season of How I Met Your Mother, whose ending was perfect (and I can't understand anyone who thinks otherwise), and then the three seasons of Showtime's The Borgias, which was fantastic but ended far too abruptly with season 3 as they obviously did not know they would be cancelled.

We're not undergoing a full rewatch of Sons of Anarchy. I've loved the show since it premiered and we've seen seasons 1-4 already, but we haven't ever seen 5-7. We're already midway through season 2.

And on the off days, we stumbled upon what has to be the most seriously underestimated show ever on TV: MTV's Finding Carter. Somehow, someway, MTV broke through their ceiling of mediocrity and have produced an incredibly awesome show that is full of intense drama and tension. IMO, most shows about teenagers usually are terrible, but this one rises above that, and is a contender with One Tree Hill for best teen drama (both of the being far better than the OC).

Clever dialogue, interesting characters and storyline and real actors that can pull it off.

Doesn't stand a chance.

The wife was out last night so I took the opportunity to watch a film she won't: Event Horizon.

Yes, it's over the top, and a lot of the scares and gross outs are cribbed from better sources, but somehow it all manages to work as a creepy little horror flick. Sam Neill chews the scenery a little, but Laurence Fishburne provides a counter anchor to it.

I agree, Dave, very underrated movie. Shame that Paul W.S. Anderson hasn't directed anything nearly as good since.

We have a protagonist.

But if a complaint can be they are moving the character along a bit too fast, I think this might be one.

"Turn"

Netflix has it. Only started watching bored, because it has Jamie Bell and I generally like things he's in.


So far, really fun. No stupid people, smarter people winning. Egos of course cause mistakes and downfalls. Cheap thrills kept to a minimum, relationships to a max.


Comes to mind how few series and movies we actually have on the Revolution.

With the Pertwee stamp of quality and a Prodigy track to finish off with.

Has anyone seen the UK show 'Black Mirror'?

Very good, very disturbing contemporary take on the Twilight Zone focusing on the darker sides of modern life such as reality television, social media, bio enhancements, etc.

I think it's still avaiable on Netflix.

Watched the first episode of Daredevil, and man it was dark. Not in tone, but literally there were scenes we didn't know WTF was going on. Eventually we had to crank the brightness.


My wife commented that she'd rather watch a show about the Murdock/Nelson fledgling legal practice, than the by-the-numbers super-hero stuff.

I saw the first episode of Daredevil and thought it was pretty average. The setup is good, though I thought the final scenes of cramming in as many series subplots as they could was kind of eyerolling.

I do hope that they DON'T go the Frank Miller route and make Karen a drug addict. I hope she becomes a female character who is fun and upbeat in their otherwise dark world.

Just got through it myself and pretty much agree. The characters are fun, but when it comes to the "Superheroing," really? There a 50 punch minimum rule?


Unfortunately, the way it's been set up they're going to have to go the flashback way, ala Arrow, to tell the tail of how he became Daredevil. BORING. But I agree, almost any scene with Murdock and Nelson is gold.

I started watching the first episode of the failed Birds of Prey show from a few years back. Yes, I know it was terrible, but I'm genuinely curious to see what comic book shows were like in pre-superhero boom we see today. There's a certain endearing cheesiness to shows like this and Smallville and I like to see how they worked the comic book easter eggs into the show.

The second episode of Daredevil was a little better than the first (I dig Rosario Dawson anyway). Despite the setup being a little silly (why didn`t he kill the lights to get an advantage?) that one take final fight sequence was really crazy.

Daredevil: sometimes I thought the dialogues went on a bit long and they did go about moving plot along in some head scratching ways, when it seemed more plausible means were available to get to the same spot but regardless, I binged the whole thing. It was REALLY easy to click "next," I think I missed a terrific day of weather on Sat.

I think they ended in a terrific spot, the whole of the season planned pretty well. I REALLY liked the acting and characters, Karen maybe not as much as the others and the "suit," not so much at all.




And I agree, can't have too much Rosario Dawson but that's a good reason not to have too much Rosario Dawson.


Would I be the only one up for a season of Murdoch and Froggy: the College Days?

There's also a single episode of Mercy Reef out there (an attempted Aquaman spin-off, starring the guy who played Green Arrow on Smallville as Aquaman).

It's not as terrible as I would have expected, all things considered.

Orphan Black and Penny Dreadful are back! Woo.

Also, the girls are watching Orphan Black, so I finally have someone to talk to about the show! Double woo!

Monarchy on netflix. Did the first two seasons of Death in Paradise as well.
