This show is the best. I could watch it anytime.

My chest is still pounding. Everything about that scene was perfect. So beautifully shot.

Like, is he original to the show or actually from a comic?

Also, he ended up being totally badass, but yeah, lol "Sports Master."

So, the owner of LCS and I were watching some Young Justice today, is Sports Master really a villain?

I loved Red Hood. I thought it was good fun. Though I'm unfamiliar with Starfire so whatever they did or didn't do to her character doesn't bother me. To me she came off as an almost self destructive person looking for something in the world, not completely unbelievable especially if she's missing parts of her past and feels like an outcast on a planet that doesn't accept her. Although I do think this characterization could have been pulled off with a little more tact but then again, it is a kind of in your face, tactless book. I do admit that she came off as overly sexualized but that doesn't bother me.

It's actually a good thing 24 didn't get another season. After Season 8, the writers pretty much admitted they didn't know what they would've come up with for another plot. They were out of ideas.

This, and it ended on one of it's highest notes. The last stretch of S8 was fantastic.

Except they're believed to be extinct. And unless there are dragons in some far off corner of the world they were extinct for over a hundred years.

Yeah, the only network shows I watch are Community, Fringe, and Supernatural. Most everything else is garbage.

--
Winter is coming

It's the only show I care about on that network at this point. I gave up on Chuck somewhere in the middle last season. I'll probably go back and finish it because it's still quite good, just wasn't holding my attention as much as it used to and with it ending I won't have to worry about it anymore.

--
Winter is coming

Also, an NBC show underperfomring is always good news to me. The more failures, the higher the chances of Community sticking around.

A dip toward a 1.2 is Dollhouse territory.

Which I think would be more hopeful than anything else. They'd probably give it a shortened fifth season if that's the case.

And I have a hard time believing Fringe's numbers won't stay steady. Even if we're to believe the cries of the very outspoken claiming they won't watch anymore after last seasons twist ending the show still has a dedicated fanbase. The people who get vocal about dropping a show like that are in the vast minority and won't make a difference. Plus, they usually stick around anyway.

And Fringe is the type of show that ends it's seasons rather dramatically with big shakeups to the status quo. It's always quite interesting to see where they take it from there and I think people will be sticking around because of that.

It's getting the same treatment as Chuck. Fringe is an established show with a fanbase that will follow the show to Friday, where Fringe will see out the remainder of its run.


I think he was asking if the show will get canceled after this season. Obviously, it has a full season order and so long as it keeps the same sort of numbers it did last year then it's fine for this season. Plus, Fox likes the show, that really helps.

As to whether or not it gets a fifth season that's up in the air, although I'd say it's very likely so long as its rating hold up. It's Fox's Chuck and if they give it a fifth season it'll hit that magic 100 episodes and be good to go for syndication.

Depends on the terms of the sale. If the entire collection is being held for you so that you can pick it up as you please then get whatever you want first. If other people can purchase from it then get the more expensive items first.

--
Winter is coming

I've been wanting to see it for months now. Maybe even since last year. Actually yeah, I think I heard about it during the casting process and was excited. Once I heard Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, and Christina Hendricks were in it I was on board.

X-Files is the most acclaimed of the shows I think

No, Buffy clearly is. Not that The X-Files isn't highly acclaimed as well,. You're just more likely to find people who say Buffy is the better show. Both are two of my favorites. I grew up watching The X-Files so there's a lot of nostalgia for me but even then it still holds up.

She's better looking anyways. She kind of looks like a cross between Ellen Page and Rashida Jones. It works.

Wilfred isn't always laugh out loud hilarious but it's a really well done high concept show and it is quite funny. It's more of a WTF show, even with it's humor. It can be pretty crude sometimes but it pulls it off with a certain level of finesse so as to not be derivative or stale. It always has a few great Lost style endings with the season ending being an actual homage to the show. It's unlike anything else on tv and really well done. I highly recommend it.

For me it's hard to choose between Sunny, Louie, Wilfred, and Archer. When Sunny hits it hits hard.

It'll probably be out sometime in December. That's when the first season was released.

I hear S2 has a lot of really gimmicky episodes. I could see that really grating on my nerves - that's probably my #1 sitcom pet peeve.

There are "gimmick" episodes, yes. But a big part of the show is trope subversion and lampshading. These episodes are unlike anything you'd expect. They're also really well written so that they work in universe. It's hard to explain but there's not much to be afraid of. A lot of the episodes are more genre homages than anything else. It's really great.

I'm looking forward to Netflix Instant getting S1 of Community. I'll be honest with ya - the bits and pieces I've seen of the show haven't impressed me in the slightest. But I have a feeling it'll be one of those "Modern Family"-type shows that grows on you considerably after a dozen episodes or so.

Yeah, you might have to stick with it a bit, about halfway through the first season for some people. It clicks really early for some, later for others. I started to really like it with the second episode and loved it by the seventh. It really starts to get better once you (and to a certain extent, the writers and actors) get a handle on who the characters are. It's almost nothing like Arrested Development in tone but that's the closest thing I can compare it to. Just a genius show.

--

Yup, but that's just because Community hasn't started yet.

Watching last weeks episode I was thinking "Man, Giancarlo Esposito should a Supporting Actor Emmy next year." Then I realized that he's also on a show with Aaron Paul.

--

I think it's great that on the night of the Emmys we got to see next years winning performance for Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

Sorry, I was too busy FREAKING OUT over it.

I'm fairly certain he's written a comic or two. Although they may just be adaptations of some of his stories. I don't know if he had anything to do with the Wild Cards comics but there are those. He's definitely a fan of comics in general although I'm not sure if he actually keeps up with them today.

I was a little cross when it came to Superboy since I really enjoyed Lemire's run and wanted it to continue.

--
Winter is coming

I was interested in it. I may have to track it down though since my shop is sold out.

--
Winter is coming

Frankenstein was the only book I read this week but it was great. On par with, if not better than, Animal Man. It was just too much fun and it looked great and read so well. I'm now just upset there's no more Jeff Lemire books to look forward to.

--
Winter is coming

Please tell me they at least knew what the other shows were?


Also, FLCL is like a prerequisite for this kind of thing. Especially if all they know is silly shonen crap.

It's not like I need something right now. I just need to add a few more bucks so I can get free shipping on Community S2. Figured I'd get a good book to go with it.

--

You can preorder and still get free shipping.

--

Chew and I Kill Giants might be cool if I didn't already read them. Uncanny X-Force certainly has my interest. Didn't realize I could it cheap like that. Would also like to read some Brubaker so Criminal might be cool although the Batfan in me was leaning Gotham Central. Also noticed American Vampire is like $10 and I want to read more of that.

Also, LtM, no Xombi? You're letting me down.

I need some good, preferably cheap ($5-$10) book to get super saver shipping on Amazon. Recommendations?

One of the shows was recently cancelled but it's making this list because it's insanely under-rated and belongs in the Pantheon of Great Dramas.
how recently canceled and how underrated?

(please don't be camelot please don't be camelot)

The line about being canceled makes me think Terriers but that could just be semantics. Could be Friday Night Lights even though it wasn't actually canceled, just ended on it's own terms.
