The TV thread.

rewatched game of thrones and love it even more now. I missed so much the first time through it.

^ :dio:
Watch it a third time, I bet there's lots more.

Apparently new season of Spartacus starts in 22 days. Awesome.

DevotedWalnut

Anybody try the new show Banshee? I want to watch it, but want to finish The Sopranos first, which I'm approaching the halfway point of season 4.

Also, Justified gets much better once the season gets going. About 5-6 episodes in.

I really adore this show. Season three twists itself up too much for its own good, but the finale really unraveled it all in such a way that this newest season starts on a clean slate and after the first episode was so great (like seriously, bravo Patton Oswalt on his recent cash grab of being on every television show I watch) I can't wait to see what goes down.

Also excited for Shameless' recent premiere which I haven't caught yet, but caught up on Bunheads last night. Parks and Rec, Parenthood and Burn Notice still need to finish their seasons though. Dont love the overlap of old and new seasons.

hooked on Community, 2 episodes away from finishing season 1.

The League: "Buddy, I don't know who you are, but you're about to get chlamydia" made me LOL very, very hard. brilliant.

Shameless is the best show that nobody is watching.

Original British version owns the remake. Just sayin.
But to be honest I didn't watch too much of it ( USA version I mean ).

Ever seen John Benjamin has a Van?

Classy television right there.

Nope. The UK version took a while to grow on me, but I think the US version is smarter and more endearing.

anyone here like Doctor Who? I've just finished series 5 and of the three Doctors so far I'd say David Tennant is the best and Matt Smith is the worst (not by much though he's been pretty good)

Waiting for tonight's episode of Shameless to hit my streaming site is like torture. Ugh.

DevotedWalnut

Anybody watch new Spartacus or the new HBO show Banshee?

Also trapt, I can get Shameless season 2 on demand for free, should I try to watch season 1 first, or can I just jump into season 2?

I think you can jump into Season 2 honestly.

The graphics on Spartacus looked really bad so I avoided it.

DevotedWalnut

Silly reason to avoid an awesome show. It's like 300 in terms of look, if you don't like lots of blood then don't bother.

Pretty much why I never bothered.

Wally, what do you think of the Sopranos so far? Did you finish it?

DevotedWalnut

Season 5, about 4 episodes in.

I've always liked The Sopranos. Use to watch it with my parents every Sunday night. Problem was back then I was too stupid to catch all of what's going on. This is my 3rd time watching through the series, but as I said too stupid the first time, stopped at season 4 last time, but this time I will finish it.

Season 5 it's definitely starting to run a little thin, but the upcoming turf wars should be fun.

DevotedWalnut

Also, STORY people. It's not always about how something looks, there is a story to Spartacus and its fucking done good. Try the first episode of Blood and Sand and tell me it's not cool.

RelentlessOblivion

story and visuals, a crap story with great visual effects is just as shit as a brilliant story with shitty effects so far as I'm concerned

Cool that you are going back through it: I should some time too. I think one could divide the first 3 seasons and last 3 seasons into two groups, and I understand the slowdown in terms of momentum: Season 6 doesn't really change that.

Nobody asked you.

And nobody said the visuals were shitty, just that they don't like stuff like 300.

But thanks for coming out.
