Rosbjerg Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Old thread here. I've been watching season 4 of The Walking Dead - and those 2 episodes gave me hope. I really think one of the scientists is going to die. I'm leaning towards the male scientist, Fitz, since he's the techie and his skills in that area overlap with Skye's (and I don't think they're planning to kill her). But they're also using the scientists interchangeably a lot, which really means there's no story reason to keep both of them (and they're taking time from developing the other characters) and lots of story reason to get rid of one of them. Fitz is an engineer, Simmons is a biologist. Fitz's role is dealing with the experimental tech and such they encounter, Skye couldn't fill that role. I did think it was funny having that other hacker dude using SHIELD's crazy no-one-else-on-earth-has-this operating system and being able to hack into electronic locks and such within seconds. Joined the Disney Movie Club, Gargoyles Season 2 Part 2 is an exclusive, so I bought it. Anyone watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and catch the Star Wars reference? Red Queen and Jafar were discussing what monster they could subject Alice to and Red Queen suggested the Sarlacc, which would digest her for a thousand years. Hm. Just found out that after pretty much 30 years since the first season ended.. they've produced a 2nd season to the children's cartoon "The Mysterious Cities of Gold"....

Raithe Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hm. Not sure what to make of Dracula. The acting is fairly decent, but they've got the Order of the Dragon as some kind of inquisitorial illuminate corrupted by greed , and a Van Helsing and Dracula team up as both wish to pour vengeance on said Order... And they're throwing in elements of Tesla science to almost add a slight steam-punk Victorian feel to things. That, and Renfield is a rather large black butler/manservant type. Looks like he's going to have an interesting character and some entertaining lines. I think I might try a few more episodes out of curiousity. 4 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManifestedISO Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) It was so weird just now, I saw Glenn from Walking Dead come down the stairs in a one-line speaking part on Big Bang Theory. He tells Leonard to "run fast, run far, dude!" in the flashback episode where Sheldon and Leonard first meet. The episode was from 2010 ... WD started in 2010 ... I don't know, it was fun to see an established actor get their start. Edit: I'm not watching Season 4 yet, so if he's dead already, don't tell me. Edited October 30, 2013 by ManifestedISO 3 All Stop.

Skye is a hacker with no formal education, she can do computers, but I doubt she could design and build prototype weaponry. 3 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

LadyCrimson Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Walking Dead: Carol ... oh my. If it's true, for me that puts her out of the potential hard and practical but kinda badA category and into the "might be a bit too crazy" category. However, there's the possibility that instead of what she claimed to Rick, it's really that the little girl stabbed the two people, Carol caught her at it (or the girl confessed to her right after doing it, looking for approval from Carol), and in order to protect the girl, Carol covers it up/lies and takes the blame. ...at least that storyline is somewhat intriguing. 2 “Things are as they are.

She usually handles tech stuff when its something like the centipede bracelet or the ocular implant, stuff that requires a knowledge of biology as well. Either way I doubt anyone will die in the first season. Not Whedon's style.

Raithe Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I think one of the things about Arrow that keeps a lot of the female crowd happy are the sheer amount of topless workout scenes with a certain main character... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

I find a lot of shows are better if you watch from the beginning rather than jumping in randomly. I tried watching a couple eps of Stargate around season 3 or 4 and didn't like it. Caught the first 4 in a marathon and was hooked. 2 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I like Supernatural quite a bit but I came to it a bit late which allowed me to watch all of the first 4 or so seasons back to back . I will say that the quality varies greatly from episode to episode and season to season Classic rock, random pop culture references, the occasional hot woman, and killing monsters Arrow, I like but not nearly as much. The main actor guy annoys me all the time 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The main actor is the worst part of Arrow. He has no charisma. Luckily almost every other character in the show makes up for him. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

The guys get to enjoy the supernatural monsters, the gore, the action. The girls can enjoy the pouty borderline slash relationship of the wooby brothers (and their favourite angel) and see these guys rescue the damsels in distress over and over. Personally I enjoy it. I dig me some monsters and it's pretty funny to boot. Now, Arrow, on the other hand, I watched four episodes (my mandatory "lets see if it gets better" number of episodes I try to watch before judging something) of and really disliked it. If I wanted to watch Batman Begins I'd pop in my DVD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Season 2 of Arrow is better so far. With The Undertaking happening and Ollie's list being moot, he's starting to take a more traditional Protect the innocent role. Plus all the DC name drops and cameo characters.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm with TN. Arrow doesn't feel like Green Arrow, more like Batman with a bow.
