Tale Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Abrams is probably better off leaving a project after the first year or two. X-Files went downhill in the last few seasons, Alias supposedly did as well (I never watched, just going off rumor.) Meanwhile, LOST is going great without him. Abrams had no involvement with X-Files (that I can find at least). The only reason he was brought up in regards to it is because his new show looks like a ripoff.

Pope Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 omg that's Alvarez in the trailer! I didn't even notice until now

Is okay! I took the same meaning from it that you did. I just had to check because I never heard of him being involved in X-Files. Then I figured it out. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Spider Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Abrams is doing a new show. I'm sure it'll be great, but I'm so much more excited about Joss Whedon's new show. Dollhouse, starring Eliza Dushku. Whatever people may think about Buffy, at least we can all agree that Firefly was brilliant? Right?
Tale Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 We can also all agree that Eliza Dushku is hot. If a tad bit batty. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Pope Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I started watching Dexter, and I'm halfway the first season so far Dexter's own story is awesome, but I don't care that much for the other characters
theslug Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) I started watching Dexter, and I'm halfway the first season so far Dexter's own story is awesome, but I don't care that much for the other characters Dokes is awesome. I finished the wire. First season awesome, then sucked a little bit then progressively got slightly better until season 5 which totally was a waste of time and sucked. Overall 7.49/10. Started Jericho but it's pretty lame. Character's are seriously retarded. Example: Multiple nuclear explosions around the U.S. and a lady is vacuuming the living room like their entire way of life isn't hanging in the balance. The script and subplots aren't that great either so I'm not going to continue unless someone has good reason to say otherwise. Edit: Wiki'd and found that the show was cut off in the second season since it got poor reviews throughout both seasons. Yeah nevermind, not going to watch it either way. Edited May 31, 2008 by theslug There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

I finished the wire. First season awesome, then sucked a little bit then progressively got slightly better until season 5 which totally was a waste of time and sucked. Overall 7.49/10 You sir, have no taste. There is no bad season of The Wire. Most people seem to like the second least. I'm guessing that's because it has the least 'gangsta' stuff of the five. But you gotta love Frank Sobotka. Personally I liked season 3 the best. Bunny Colvin's Hamsterdam, I freakin' loved that stuff. Season 4 with the kids was awesome as well. Season 5 was a bit less believable than the others at times, but I loved how they wrapped up everyone's story. Best thing about The Wire is the characters. I want Bunk to be my friend! In fact, that's probably the reason I don't have too much sympathy for the people in Dexter's police department. I give it a solid 10, really can't point out any flaws. Best show I've ever seen. Was even better the second time, noticed a lot more things I missed on the first run.

They killed off possibly the greatest character ever conceived in the entirety of games, television, literature, or any medium. How dare you sir.

It would be a lame show if they didn't. Who are you talking about anyway? And deaths in the last season don't count, what does it matter if anyone lives or dies if the story is done? If you mean Stringer, then yeah, I was pissed off at his death too, but it was necessary for the plot. He deserved to be killed. And the drug world wasn't cut out for him anymore, he never had the street mentality Avon or Marlo had. He was a reformer, just like Bunny. And reformers can't beat the system. But I think you mean Omar. Omar didn't die. Sure, he was shot by a kid, didn't get an obituary in the paper, and they almost switched name tags at the morgue. But his legacy lived on both on the streets, in the form of very much exaggerated tales of his demise, and in Michael who stepped in his shoes. It was the best possible ending Omar could get. I loved Mike's ending too by the way. Edited May 31, 2008 by Pope
GreasyDogMeat Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Love 24. It has it's stupid moments, but the show is awesome at plot twists and keeping me coming back for more. Sopranos. This is a show that I got into because of others. Its kind of a voyeur type thing as, to be honest, I dislike almost every character in the show, but want to see what happens next. Well, up until they split Season 6 in two. Saw the first half but just haven't bothered to see the final half of Season 6, especially after the ending to the series was spoiled on the news and by, of all people, Hillary Clinton. THAT IS WHY I WONT BE VOTING FOR YOU HILLARY! YOU SPOILED THE ENDING OF THE SOPRANOS! Of the 6 or so episodes of Firefly I've seen I'm amazed the show was cancelled. Also liked the movie, other than the lame 'hitman who gets a conscience' character despite being completly dispicable for the entire movie. X-Files was a great series until Season 6 where it started a slow decline into absolute lameness. My personal favorite of stupid episodes was where a religious group in the midwest worships a giant parasitic slug as the second coming of Christ. There was probably some message about the dangers of religion, but it was lost in the sheer idiocy. 'Look at that huge slug Earl! It must be Jesus! PRAISE JESUS! Lets go attach it to the back of someone's neck!' OOO, and another stupid one was a midget from India who... get this... crawls up people's arses. He follows people around on his little squeeky cart. Supposedly he's invisible but people can hear him coming. I'm amazed they didn't smell him either. I think the X-Files writers developed severe cases of mental retardation after Season 5. I think it was the move to Los Angeles... the sun fried their brains. I've really enjoyed the first season of the Terminator and can't wait to see the second season. Shows I'm mildly interested in (watch occasionally, but don't follow in order or make a point to catch each episode) Stargate & Atlantis The various Star Treks Battlestar Galactica. On some levels this show is really impressive, but on others its kind of meh. It has a great gritty feel, but it has a lot of cheese too.
Pidesco Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Ejiofor's character in Serenity was never despicable. He just did what he felt was the right thing to do at all times. What happened at the end of Serenity was that his beliefs were shattered. He didn't suddenly get a conscience. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
GreasyDogMeat Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Bah, if exterminating a village of women and children to flush out hiding places and murdering anyone the crew of Serenity knew to get to them isn't despicable I guess I just don't know what is. There are many, many things that people do that they believe is 'the right thing to do', it doesn't mean they are in fact right or good. The guy was a bastard who deserved a nasty end and I felt robbed of it. Edited May 31, 2008 by GreasyDogMeat
Pidesco Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 It was the nastiest end possible for him. He lost his faith. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Back up a second. The Operative has a name? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Pidesco Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 He does? Unless you're talking about Cate Archer, I don't think so. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
GreasyDogMeat Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Meh, I can think of worse ends for a sadistic... Anyhoo... I found all episodes of Firefly are available on www.hulu.com. Very cool, as I've just been catching a random episode on Sci-Fi, so it will be neat to see them all in order. http://www.hulu.com/firefly Quality isn't fantastic, and it has a few short (15-30 sec) intervals but it beats trying to catch episodes here and there in random order. I'm very tempted to get the DVD set as every episode I've seen so far has been extremly entertaining.
roshan Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Just completed Carnivale and Oz, and Im feeling pretty pissed off at HBO now. They keep creating awesome shows and then cancelling them.
Calax Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) ... Ever tried anime? Generally the more actiony stuff that they have has a rather large plot arc, Bleach is on the cusp of the first filler arc in america but embroiled in it's second one on the other side of the pacific. Other than that, go back and watch old Justice League episodes. Other than that I got nothing. or if your willing to either netflix or shell out a heap of money, Stargate DVD's. Edited June 12, 2008 by Calax Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Pope Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Just saw the first episode of Arrested Development, and I know I'm going to love this.
Gorgon Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Who are you talking about anyway? Snot boogie, they killed snot boogie man. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Humodour Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Is it actually worth watching Psych? I watched like 4 episodes and found it a tad boring; and I found things like Reaper, Chuck, Black Books (all British comedy), Daria, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, even My Name Is Earl, to be quite funny.
Hurlshort Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I couldn't get into Psych either. I think it's just a matter of whether you enjoy the two lead actors. They are not bad to me, but they don't particularly standout.
Pope Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Just saw the first episode of Arrested Development, and I know I'm going to love this. Anyone else seen this? I just finished it and it's the most cleverly written comedy show I've ever seen. The combination of a dysfunctional family, lots of situational humor, and the multitude of subtly hidden jokes is purely awesome. Apparently there's coming a movie in 2009.
