SPOILER WARNING: Prestige Television Discussion

EDIT: Supposedly its going to be anthology style and each season will be a different cast and story.

Well I think we can manage with the prestige-tv and the non-prestige tv being discussed in the same thread.
Maybe we should have a thread about liking things that are more popular. It appears that for some reason people on this board have a problem liking things that are very popular no matter what the quality of the popular item.

two things, one being that gay guys fuck more than rabbits at the local fluffy tail go go bar, and two, what the hell is going on here, when you have james ford, claiming to never saying he was straight, and nobody say a word regarding such a claim. for shame board . . . for shame.

csi anything, alias, medium, walking dead, star trek next generation, breaking bad, auction kings, paranormal witness. i think ill start watching weeds next.

Well I don't want to sleep with him so it hardly matters to me.

Anyone catch Broad City? I watched Daily Show/Colbert/@midnight and Broad City came on at 12:30, re-run of [I'm assuming] the first episode/pilot. I thought it was pretty damn entertaining. I will definitely be catching it after Workaholics tonight.
Also, first episode of Workaholics to make me laugh in awhile. I think last year they were focused on making stupid hashtags catch on and, for me, a lot of the stuff missed. Last weeks episode was hilarious though. Haven't caught this weeks Archer, but I thought last weeks was an improvement over the premiere.
Anyone looking forward to House Of Cards season 2 in a couple weeks!?

just added house of cards. worth my precious time?
walkonby wrote:Yes, I thought it was really, really good. The second (and I think final) season drops on Valentine's Day.

If the idea of Kevin Spacey talking directly into a camera creeps you out, I'd say skip it.

seeing how kevin is a cornholer . . . ill watch.
James wrote:That was my one complaint about it but no one else has agreed with me so far. I found it very off-putting for him to have these aside conversation all the time and just a lazy way to advance plot points from a writing stand point. It wasn't so bad I disliked the show because of it or anything.

I like it because it's a b'more filmed show, and that's fun. I thought it was good, but it does stretch things a bit. Worth at least giving a shot.

I can't even wrap my head around how good this show is. Every week gets better.

you know how i feel about bal-ti-more . . . why did you have to tell me that.
That was my biggest complaint.
I also figured out I just can't stand shows focused on politicians as well.
….I do watch Homeland….one question about Homeland, if I may…why did they focus so much on the vice president in the first two seasons, as if there wasn't even such a position as "president"?

Because assassinating the VP was a more plausible plot than assassinating the president.
