Still kind of weird to hear Raphael's voice coming out of Donatello's mouth, though. That being said, I don't know why he wasn't playing Donatello all along.
[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread
- Thread starter Frank
- Start date
Wait, what? Details, please? Kthnx.
Freakin' sweet, and a full cast reunion too? That was the only part of Turtles Forever that bugged me. Also I hope they make at least three voice jokes with 87 Raph and 2012 Donnie, but I'm okay with one.
Finished season 3 of Buffy, not gonna lie
it was funny and satisfying as hell seeing Snyder get eaten by Demon Wilkins who is also my favorite villain so far.
That was a great Buffy moment. Fun fact, Armin Shimerman originally auditioned for the part of Principal Flutey, which is how he ended up getting the part of Snyder.[DOUBLEPOST=1376194240,1376193932][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hopefully this time, they won't make the original turtles complete idiots.
I think Low Winter Sun suffered from the same fate. I might DVR it next week and watch not-immediately-following-BB

Just came to post this. Very, very well done show with David Tennant as the main cop. And they kill a kid! I know that sounds weird that it excited me, but right out of the box the show puts itself apart from shows in the US. In the US kids are as indestructible on TV as they are in Skyrim. The show only runs 8 episodes and I don't know if they will be bringing more.

I wasn't going to reply to that "shows straight up murderin kids" thing, since I didn't know how without inadvertant spoiling

Yeah, I don't watch the show which is under the spoiler tag. And I guess that I wasn't as much as excited about it as found it refreshing that they took an angle that you don't see often on American TV. I mean, they sometimes do, but in most cases they don't give the family of the kids as much time as they did in Broadchurch.

Reading that trope page reminded me of the old C64 game Mad Nurse, so I added it in under video game exceptions. If you do nothing, your nurse self just stands there watching babies electrocute themselves in wall sockets, fall into toilets with surprisingly strong flushing action, plummet down elevator shafts, or ingest boring old poison.

Wow, that sounds even worse than Bouncing Babies:
Basically it's the same game as Fire from the Game & Watch series. Only it's all babies coming out of the burning building.

Well, judge for yourself with this footage - it doesn't show any babies getting zapped/flushed/etc, which is a shame, because the noise they make when it happens is C64-hilarious.
I tried watching Low Winter Sun. It has a good premise, and a great cast, but... it has a terrible timeslot. I know why it's there, AMC knows Breaking Bad brings in the viewers, and they want to transfer that viewership to LWS, but any show is going to feel flat coming off of a Breaking Bad high.
Thats good to hear, we still haven't brought ourselves to finish the second season, to much snoozeworthy stuff. The first season was really solid so I'm sad it didn't stay at that quality level.
Also: BREAKING BAD.
HOLY SHIT.
Dexter
Ugh, I don't know. It's not a good sign when I check how many episodes into this season we are so far and verbally groan that there's still about 6 or 7 episodes left. It's not that I'm hating it entirely, but at this point, I'm watching this last season only because I've watched this far, I might as well see it to the end.
Worse, I know I'll be disappointed because at this point, I honestly want the show to end either with Dexter's death or arrest. And I know that's not going to happen.

So far, this season has been pretty awful, but holy shit, nothing compares to how terrible bringing back
Hanna
was. AWFUL.
Poor
Julian Sands, he's not a terrible actor, but just from this episode of Dexter, you'd think he was the worst. His character was so fucking nonsensical.

Yeah, it's sad because once there was a time when if I saw a new episode of Dexter sitting on my DVR I would get excited. Now... I am just watching to find out where they are going with all this.
Yeah, the Hannah stuff is such a rehash of last season that I feel like it's impossible to understand how much time has actually passed. Cause it seems like she was just on the show but you wouldn't know that from the way things are plying out. Oh and I am calling it now.... the Doctor is the season's big bad.... not that should be a surprise to anyone paying half attention to the show.
Heroes of Cosplay was dreadful. Too much contrived drama and editing to make it look like basically no one was having a good time. Also made it seem like competing for money was something cosplayers do, when from what I've seen of the hobby, that's like maybe 5% of them, tops. The show was "bitch drama overreact, Yaya's cleavage, backbite grump, half a second of actually working on costumes, Yaya's cleavage, drama overreact get drunk".
everyone ITT should do themselves a favor and bail on Dexter, I've read the spoilers, and they're godawful
It's so contrived in the least believable way.
"No one in the NSA, FBI, etc has had any sighting of Hannah McKay since she escaped."
Dexter spends 3 minutes looking at stoplight pictures, finds her.
