Honestly I can't even tell why Revolution got made, it's such a flat mash-up of cliches. All for Zak Orth getting a paycheck though.

i think we have at least 5 more years of networks salivating to be in The J.G. Abrams Business before they stop buying these expensive-ass pilots

also if all the bad guys have visible arm tattoos/brands, why not have a policy of checking everyone's wrists before you let them into the building/reveal your secret identity to them?

i hope this trend goes on as long as possible, frankly - it's not like anything would take its place besides more cop/doctor/lawyer shows, and network TV has a much bigger budget than cable for scifi and fantasy
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 05:24 (eleven years ago) link
Agreed. Revolution isn't too far off the radar from enjoyable cable-shlock like Warehouse 13, The Lost World, or the Secret Jules Verne one.

The Last Resort pilot is streamable online. It's good, though it feels like a few episodes' worth of development crammed into 44 minutes.

i only watch tv on my computer and cbs is all proprietary and some of their shit they don't even put on their own web site so i think i might have just thought i would wait it out until i could catch it. but they're such a pain that i forget - maybe they were showing it there while it ran? sigh.

i am a fully committed mentalist stan so i am afraid i have to take dismissals of cbs crime dramas with a grain of salt, the cbs old-people aura makes people unwilling to see real quality somehow
― j., Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:47 (eleven years ago) link
Mentalist is shockingly decent, i have to admit. or maybe i still have a crush on that chick from The Craft and Prison Break. I'll still dismiss NCIS/CSI tho

I was a longtime CSI fan...I hung with a season of Larry Fishburne and then I was kinda done, it had lost it's shine for me. I hung with Criminal Minds until last year (mostly dropped it out of boredom/too many other shows to watch)

I stuck with it until the multi-episode villain for the season was a guy who wore s&m latex and crawled around on all fours. I saw that and said "well, I'm out."

I used to like a lot of procedurals, but now I don't think I watch any. Not sure why.
SVU got too ridiculous even for me, and what's the point without Meloni? I think I watch Investigation Discovery now when I want my murder fix, the story of the old lady who murdered her husband and then blamed it on craigslist was better than anything I've seen on CSI.

having a serial killer with a network of true believers as helpers makes it kind of like when the borg were actually threatening on star trek, every time red john-related stuff comes back up on the mentalist the mood thickens and everyone is all gloomy without talking about it

48 Hours Mystery is still my go-to show for true crime. Think there's a separate true crime show thread too...

i'm glad that it looks like elizabeth mitchell is going to be semi-regular on revolution, i'm basically only watching for her + billy burke + giancarlo esposito. if the show has any future i hope they allow the focus to move away from the brother and sister, their perils are p. annoying.
also "monroe" the militia mastermind seems laughably miscast, he has no gravitas or charisma to speak of.

ben and kate was ok, my previous ridiculously obscure crush dakota johnson is in it (1. see her in social network - 'damn, she cute' 2. see her in 21 jumpstreet - 'hey it's that girl from social network' 3. see her in ben and kate - 'ok seriously who is this girl')(she's don johnson and melanie griffith's daughter). watched new girl for first time last night, struck me as less funny my boys - should i keep watching? for some reason i also watched 2 broke girls, i think that seriously might be the worst show i have somehow watched at least six episodes of, worse than mind of the married man.
― balls, Thursday, 27 September 2012 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
yeah dakota johnson is ridiculously cute
new girl was good this week but i feel like so far there's a specific handful of episodes from which you'd probably have to see one to get hooked
lol mind of the married man

i'll probably hang w/ new girl, it's got dude from veronica mars in it. i'm an undecided voter but i think i lean 'no' on zoey deschanel, i remember when i first saw almost famous laughing that her bad wooden acting was so similar to patrick fugit's, i almost thought it was intentional since they were playing siblings. i liked her in elf, couldn't last more than ten minutes into 500 days of summer. i'll stick w/ it - ppl like it, and i watched nearly an entire season of 2 broke girls and several seasons of entourage so whatever i'm 'risking' by watching a show i might wind up deciding isn't good i lost along time ago.
