Hurlshort Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Goliath - This was on Amazon Prime, and features Billy Bob Thornton as a drunk lawyer who has fallen from grace. He's always entertaining for me, but the story was pretty well told and the show has some of the best teasers at the end I've ever seen. Pretty unpredictable. I'd recommend it.
Oerwinde Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Finished The OA on Netflix I'm still not sure if I like it or not and if I think it's good or not, maybe tomorrow. Seriously, someone watch this show and then tell me if I liked it or not We are on like episode 6 or so and we are really liking it. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency I am loving too The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Hiro Protagonist Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I watched The OA and thought it was great. Bring on Season 2!
ManifestedISO Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 The Flash, blu-ray, first two seasons. Back-to-back is the way to watch, for slow simpletons like me, plus, perfect, porcelain, picturesque Peyton List. All Stop. On Screen.
Raithe Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Sherlock. It was.. interesting. Some laugh out moments, some mystery, some backstory, some drawn out intrigue, and a dash of tragedy. Sherlock humanising somewhat, the birth of a baby Watson, and a few other things to it. A touch odd in its own way as well, but I think that might be in part because it's setting up threads for the seasonal story arc to pull on in the next two episodes. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Gfted1 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 My wife and I are all caught up on Shameless. I'm not often invested in a character, but man, I really hate Frank. Guess that's the sign of a good actor. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Noticed Toby Jones on a poster at a bus-stop, on some business magazine cover looked like. Now I know from the season trailer he's in this - wonder what his role will be.

Raithe Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Heh. A couple of critics have slammed Gatiss for making Sherlock too 007-like with action sequences. The response? A slightly redone Conan Doyle poem... Here is a critic who says with low blowSherlock’s no brain-box but become double-O.Says the Baker St boy is no man of action –whilst ignoring the stories that could have put him in traction. The Solitary Cyclist sees boxing on show,The Gloria Scott and The Sign of the Fo’The Empty House too sees a mention, in time, of Mathews,who knocked out poor Sherlock’s canine. As for arts martial, there’s surely a clue in the misspelled wrestle Doyle called baritsu. In hurling Moriarty over the torrent did Sherlock find violence strange and abhorrent? In shooting down pygmies and Hounds from hellDid Sherlock on Victorian niceties dwell?When Gruner’s men got him was Holmes quite compliantOr did he give good account for The Illustrious Client? There’s no need to invoke in yarns that still thrill,Her Majesty’s Secret Servant with licence to killFrom Rathbone through Brett to Cumberbatch dandyWith his fists Mr Holmes has always been handy.

Nonek Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Finished Farscape with the Peacekeeper Wars, quite a satisfying ending I must admit, the series itself was up, down and around in terms of quality and cohesion but I thought they went out on quite a high. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

majestic Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Finished the second season of The Man in the High Castle. Rufus Sewell and Joel de la Fuente continued to nail their role. Rufus Sewell is a tad distracting though. Does anyone else think he looks a bit like JE? 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Lexx Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I thought the trade minister was the best character. Already liked him a lot in the first season. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Raithe Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Sat down to do a little catch up, and finally binged my way through the final season of Person of Interest. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Blarghagh Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Sherlock. Well, that sure was interesting. Look forward to learning more about "Sherrinford", and whether or not that was it's reveal or a red herring because "everyone stops looking after three". Edited January 8, 2017 by TrueNeutral
ManifestedISO Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I quite enjoyed Sherlock ... the identity of the Stig, revealed! All Stop. On Screen.
Hurlshort Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Trying to finish season 1 of Mr. Robot. It's a pretty bleak show. Everyone is either super depressed or super repulsive (or both!) It started out ok, but I'm not sure if I want to stick with it. I'm on episode 7.
kirottu Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I thought the therapist was wearing a wig, but I just wrote it off as a "TV thing". Now I can die happy knowing I noticed something Sherlock didn't. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Raithe Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Now I can die happy knowing I noticed something Sherlock didn't. To be fair, he had made sure he was off his **** at the time.... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
ManifestedISO Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Been in Starling City for a few weeks, midway through Season Three of Arrow, for the first time. Outstanding missile weapon ninja television. All Stop. On Screen.
Blarghagh Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Now I can die happy knowing I noticed something Sherlock didn't. To be fair, he had made sure he was off his **** at the time.... Off his **** enough to not recognize his own ****ing sister, no less.
Raithe Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Now I can die happy knowing I noticed something Sherlock didn't. To be fair, he had made sure he was off his **** at the time.... Off his **** enough to not recognize his own ****ing sister, no less. To play devil's advocate... He might not. Consider Sherlock's rough age, and how much older Mycroft is. Wasn't there some mention in that one with their parents that Sherlock was a surprise baby in their later years? So potentially he could have been very young when the secret sibling was disappeared to Sherrinford. Since Eurus is the middle sibling from general evidence, 15-20 years can change someone a lot, especially if you last saw them before you hit your teenage years... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Blarghagh Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 True. Although... I'm still not 100% convinced the East Wind here is the same as Sherrinford. Something comfortable about the number three, people always stop looking. Sherlock also made a point of saying "it's NEVER twins" last episode, and we all know how much this show likes proving Sherlock wrong of the things he's certain of. 1
rjshae Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I binge-watched Beyond over the holiday break. Not sure if it's good or not, but it did at least keep drawing me back to watch the next episode. The People of Earth sci-fi sit-com was enjoyable in a quirky sort of way. Too bad it's only 10 episodes. I liked most of the cast, particularly Wyatt Cenac and Ken Hall, the butt-head alien Jeff the Grey. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
