hellpop Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 the Series finale to The Office was fantastic I thought it was okay. I don't think it's going to hold up very well on repeated viewings, once people have gotten past their emotional connection to the show. I bailed on the show even before Steve Carrel left, so most of my feelings for the show and characters have long since faded (on the other hand, I didn't suffer though some of the really lousy episodes over the last few years either). The one bit that really bugged me, that I thought was just the sloppiest storytelling I've ever seen, was Erin's parents. They just... show up. That's it, plotline resolved, no need for any messy emotions or, y'know, proof. Hey, Ed Begley must be her father, because they dance the same way!

hellpop Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 So, who's watching Arrested Development tonight? We watched the first five, I think. It's... yeah. I dunno. Just not quite clicking. It's kind of what I feared would be the case. But I'll watch the rest, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I've been re watching AD lately, and series 3 IMO was actually not very good at all. I had a bad feeling that this new series would take its lead from series 3 rather than the excellent 1 & 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm about half way through and yeah I can see why it may not be clicking with people, but i've been loving it. I just don't see how people expect it to be exactly the same as how it was nearly 10 years ago. It's completely understandable that the actors had to fit this in with their already busy schedules, and yet none of them are phoning it in. The cameos have been great too.

hellpop Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 We finished it last night, and it definitely got stronger as it went along. The last few episodes are really, really funny. The structure doesn't completely work, but there's some really funny stuff all the way throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 We're a few episodes in, and while it's not exactly what I was hoping for, I do feel like my life is still probably better now than it was before series 4 came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm about half way done. my mom was on vacation, so I have to wait for her to catch up with me now. Can you imagine how much of a nightmare it was to edit the whole season together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Some people on reddit are working on a chronological order edit. That should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I finally got to watch it all the way through WOW I understand what people say when they think it was a little off in the beginning but I think it was great even if it wasnt as hilarious as the original show, the writing and editing and use of recurring motifs was utterly fantastic! I also loved all the Marvel jokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I will be signing up for a Netflix free trial over the weekend so I can watch this. Still excited about seeing Gob back on my tv screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The Red Wedding. I haven't read the Game of Thrones books, so that caught me totally off guard. About ten minutes before the end of the episode, I turned to my wife and said, "you know, everything seems to be going really well for everyone in this episode. That's weird."

youbastards Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) LOL, yeah, that's pretty much how it went down in the book. That 2 week wait was killer, knowing what was coming. They did a great job of adding some levity to the episode too, the looks exchanged regarding the Frey daughters, the banter with Robb and his wife, all little moments to make the viewer more at ease, and then hit them with that final scene. Spoiler below contains some more book details if you want to read. Robb's wife (a completely different character in the book) wasn't pregnant or at the wedding, so that scene was extra violent compared to the book. Robb's soldiers were outside the castle, in tents, and drunk. The tents were rigged to allow them to collapse, and then were set on fire to kill his soldiers. I kind of wish they had showed that. There is another scene that I'm hoping makes it into next week's episode that shows what happens to the bodies of Robb and Catlyn.

[sob] That was undoubtedly one of the most grotesque images in the books. Ever. I... wow the Red Wedding man. Just hurts me every time.

hellpop Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Haven't watched it yet, but my wife already spoiled it for me, like, three weeks ago. Non-GOT book readers: do not marry someone that has read the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 yea watched episode 9 of season 3 of GoT and was completely blindsided. If you like GoT give vikings a watch. No butts or boobs in it and not as gory but I found it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emperorshotz Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Just started watching Doctor Who. Yes, I know, I'm late to the party, but better late than never. I am prepping up to start delving into Doctor Who territory, as well. It's a bit intimidating, I gotta say. And I can't believe how not-ready I was for "Red Wedding" EVEN after reading the books. I was still screaming and tearing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
