I'm stunned no one has been killed by accident during one of those yet. I've watched videos of those and one bizarre reaction from the person getting swatted and they're going to catch a bullet from a terrified SWAT team member. This is a practical joke about as much as setting someone's house on fire is.

I agree - not a practical joke and not a prank… What happens when someone dies because of this?

It seems like something from 4Chan. They also do the "Battletoads" prank or delivering a bunch of pizzas to the same house or something. "Anon" usually has a fucked up sense of humor or retribution.

Gotham! I have not seen it but my friend who loves comics is into it, and I will start it soon.

Walking Dead! Killing it like always.

What other comic book TV series am I missing?  Flash? Arrow?  Agents of Shield? 


I couldn't get past the first ep of Gotham. Same with Agents of Shield. Walking Dead lost me about two seasons ago?  I keep saying I'm going to give AoS another try but there's just too much other TV I'd rather watch or catch up on right now.

I really don't get why people are still crazy about Walking Dead. I'm in the same boat that I lost all interest like 2 or 3 seasons ago. How is that the highest rated show on TV. I just don't understand.

Supposedly it is getting really good again. But I don't know that I can wade through ep after ep of poorly written/under utilized Michonne fuckery.

I am on season 4 of Walking Dead (after a break for a year) and love it!

I plan on reading the whole comic series this winter (my best friend has the compendiums and the last few TPBs).

As for Michonne, she is cool and all (probably the most bad ass character on the show); BUT, it is Rick's story.  He is the main character.  Everyone else is supporting cast…

Read the comic book and then get back to me.

I've read the first 100 issues.
I'm probably one of the last people on this board you want to try to step to about comics  :-*

I just really was not a fan of Rick. He reminded me of Jack from Lost. I just never liked him and there was nothing to connect me to that character. I dunno. I don't care enough to get back into it.

The last show people told me "Got really good again!" was Dexter and when I got back into it, it was the same flaming dumpster fire as when I had left.

LOL I love Jack!

In regards to Dexter, yeah it went downhill.  I hope one day the books get made into a TV series, and not just inspire a series (I like the books way more).

Immensely, but if I'm not tweaking the geek squad from time to time – independent of my personal affection for the individual members – I would cease to be the Julian you all know and love!
