This south park hulu BS has done more to push me back into the world of pirate torrents than anything else ever.
[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread
- Thread starter Frank
- Start date
The gems are very pick and choose about what aspects of humanity they take to heart, Pearl for example seems to only take to heart things that interest her like space travel, weapons, tea, car maintenance, yet blocks everything else out. It might be similar to how Sherlocke Holmes made sure not to remember how the solar system(or planetary circumference it was forever since I read that book) because he felt it would impede his deductive knowledge.
Which is especially odd since you can watch pretty much every episode ever on SP's site for free (though I'm not a huge fan of the player it uses).
Edit: I meant the copyright nonsense is odd, not pirating the episodes.
He is THE bushcraft hero. I wish I knew it was on, I'd love to see it. He went in with a plan to survive. There are enough guys that go up there that don't have a plan and die.
And now that I go to said site to watch this week's episode, I see it's powered by Hulu. No wonder it sucks.
I am pretty sure we knew what you were talking about...
Stay out of this petrolpirate!

After the horrible season opener, I gave up on the show. Did they have another good episode, or are you crying at how awful it is?
I just watched the first two episodes of the season, and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Are you just pissed that they killed Sweets?
It was Bones, through and through.

I don't care that they killed Sweets, I care that they had him act like an utter moron in doing so. "Oh hey, I'll just be alone on this super important mission against people we know have killed to have their way before. Durr!" What the hell? That's not a good death. Especially for Sweets, who is a fucking profiler!
I'll accept a lot of absurdity, but that setup was just pathetic. They didn't need to make Sweets a moron in order to kill him off. It was telegraphed from a mile away, and no one in the show saw it, despite the fact that Sweets was the person who should have seen it!

Non-spoilery, the show continues into a direction that I don't like. I hated Pelant, and now they've got a huge shadow organization that is acting like some group Pelant, and it sucks. The writers don't know how to handle real intelligence, and that's mostly amusing when they try to write Brenan, but when they have to come up with super-villains who are smarter than all of the smart people working together, it just shows how little the writers understand. Rather than being hampered by circumstance, precedent, and other things, they're hampered by almost magical forces that are handwaved away as "conspiracy" or "computer genius"!
At this point I half expect the entire lab to get funding cut, and everyone walk home as the season finale, because the shadow conspiracy bribed enough people at the Smithsonian to stop all criminal investigation. "Bones, are you just going to walk away?", "I have to Booth, the Smithsonian doesn't have a forensics department any more. There's nothing we can do, I'll just go back to anthropology." Which would be a fun plot if it were done right, with a legit cover reason given for how they managed to shut it down with no replacement, and no public outcry, no journalistic investigation, etc. but it won't be, it'll just be "bribes" and "blackmail" and no one will question why it would be allowed to happen when any one of the team would just have to let a bidding war start between Fox News and MSNBC to see who gets to blame the other side for allowing the shut-down. The show used to poke fun at conspiracies, and hint that they might be true. The show has fallen victim to fantasy novel / RPG levels of power inflation. Hero starts out with enough magic to make sparkly lights, and ends up raising the dead and leveling mountains by the end. Bones has gone from villains who bribe a coroner, to groups that can bribe entire government agencies.
Really digging the new season of South Park which is doing this thing I don't think they've done before where there's a weird episode to episode continuity. The episodes are still standalone but each one directly references or continues on a one-off joke or something from the previous episode.
I heard the episode about trans people was really gross and awful.
Eh, South Park has nearly two decades of terrible "maybe the truth is in the middle" libertarian garbage under its belt, I'm okay with not giving them the benefit of a doubt.

Ha ha ha, ah man. That's our Charlie.
At any rate, the Cissy episode was pretty good.
Really? I thought it was pretty boring. The only part I really laughed at was Stan's father's "coming out" to Stan.
Brooklyn Nine Nine is on a next level this season even though they copied the office olympics episode almost exactly
Mulaney joins How to Get Away With Murder as freshman shows this year that I like.
also I checked out that Netflix From Dusk Till Dawn series' first episode. It was pretty.... okay! I'm a little curious where it's going, but just a little wary.

There's nothing truth in the middle about Sharon's speech to Randy in that episode.
I see that now, I was just explaining why I assumed it was bad

I never really interpreted SP that way. I interpreted it more as lampooning the actions of all sides rather than the issues themselves.
Hey remember Video Game High School? Remember the gaping void in your soul that could only be filled by more of it? WELL SEASON 3 BITCHES!
Good start to the season, though there could have been more of The Law.

Dave Grohl was on Letterman tonight (and all this week), and I keep thinking, he looks a lot like @ThatNickGuy.
Then he plays War Pigs with the rest of the Foo Fighters and Zac Brown. It was a good start to my night.

I am DVRing Letterman, can't wait to watch it tomorrow. I think this is the week the Foos are on every night? I have to double check.Dave Grohl was on Letterman tonight (and all this week), and I keep thinking, he looks a lot like @ThatNickGuy.

Yes, it is.
Sweet, guess I'm recording it all week then!
You know...sometimes its late at night and I see a show I didn't like before on TV. Said show? Ultimate Spider-man. I thought "Hey, that Deadpool episode was awesome! Maybe it wasn't the tipping point!" And then ...yeah Amadeus Cho is Iron Spider. Do...do I need to explain the multitude of reasons why this is stupid? No? Okay.
