Yeah, Black Sails entirely came into it's own.
Gonna miss Mrs. Barlow, she got refrigerated hard to make Flint into the monstrous super pirate he is to become.
Anne and Jack are still my favorites.
Super glad they're back together-ish.

If you see one Regular Show ep this season, its tonight's special. A great tribute to mecha shows like Gundam and Super Sentai, and a great screw-you to toy companies at the same time!

Pretty good Steven Universe tonight too...
Though it makes me worry that everything that happened may have been a game to Rose. Like, I think that she legitimately cared about Greg and everything, but Gems have trouble understanding emotions and it really sounds like she didn't fully understand what was going on when she met Greg.
Well maybe at first, hell Matt Burnett even joked that she originally treated him as a pet (one twitter user even made a hoax based on said joke). But I think that Greg was what started her to gain a better connection with the place she has sworn to connect, similar to what Steven is to GAP.
Also, I was not expecting to see both of Sour Cream's probable parents....and the implication that he may be a bastard childof womanizing misogynist. This show gets all sorts of real.
But that pales in comparison to the greatest revelation- STEVEN'S SHIRTS WERE ALL GREG'S UNSOLD "MR UNIVERSE" SHIRTS! A canon/logical reason for why a cartoon character wears the same thing every day? I LOVE IT!

Married at First Sight. A friend suggested it to me. I think my brain died a little.
Holy shit DareDevil is good. 3 episodes in and I have to force myself to stop. They're not pulling punches on the violence, either.
I'm not going to watch it, but having seen the ads, I won't be surprised when reports of domestic abuse and adultery among the cast start leaking out. It's like that horrible show where they take two people who have been flirting online, and have them meet for a romantic week-long getaway on an island... where they are then trapped and can't leave or have any outside contact until the time is up, being recorded the whole time. Love Prison, I think it was called? I would have given odds that there would have been an on-camera rape and or murder on that one.
I like how you seem to think that wasn't one of the selling points.
Steven Universe: Dammit, why did this have to be good? It's going to be a pain in the ass trying to catch up on episodes.
A friend just signed up for the next season. I'm not sure what she's hoping to get out of it.
Alimony?
Vikings: this has been a pretty tough season so far. But it is the best season since season 1.
I can't imagine this show functions without pre-nubs, but considering this friend sometimes calls herself asexual, you could be right.
One of the brides, Jessica, says she is a receptionist. Turns out she's a model and aspiring actress according to an online magazine where she had a photo shoot prior to being on this show. She also cries. All. The. Time. If anything it is getting her media exposure.
Asexual as in actually asexual, or like "asexual except with other guys" asexual?
or like asexual tyrannosaurus
Is she in it to win? Or make friends?
The show is probably awful the way all reality tv shows are awful, but the idea behind the experiment doesn't seem that far fetched to me. People have done arranged marriages for thousands of years. At least in these, the option to say no exists.
I think she's in it to be the next J-Lo.
I don't know what that means.
That makes me wonder if a few of the people on the show are actually actors.
I mean is she actually generally not a sexual person, she doesn't have sexual feelings for anyone, or is she just telling guys that she's not interested in that she's asexual? Like cheezy's ex, basically.
It's not for warding off guys since she tells friends and family, but she does use the term carelessly depending on the mood of the week. Like the people who say they're OCD because they feel the need to clean the house that particular day.
Signing up for this show feels like she's in one of her "I am desperate for a relationship" moments. If I were to term her as anything, it wouldn't be asexual; it'd be impulsive.
Last Man on Earth
Also that new C.H. Greenblatt show "Harvey Beaks" is fun, not the best thing on the air, but probably it beats most of the toons on Nick at the time so there's that.
I'm oddly hoping for a deathmatch between Todd and Phil, JUST so the title will be friggin' accurate.
Still love the show though, but name inaccuracy is a HUGE peeve of mine. Fleh, I'll just take it as metaphor given Phil's obvious madness that everyone else thinks is just him being a dick and not the symptom of 2 years of soul crushing loneliness. .

Community
Elroy and Frankie's reaction to Change being a teacher was great.
Although Chang's reply was meta-truth.
(Related note: one of the reason's I tuned into the pilot for Community was a preview of Ken Jeong's Senor Chang.)
Definitely(mostly season 4), this show is the KING/QUEEN/NONGENDERBINARYAUTHORITY of self-mockery.
Just caught the last episode of Justified.
Rayland did not deserve a happy ending.
I'm honestly a little pissed off about it.
Steven Universe is so fucking gooooood. I should've started watching this back when it began and now I'm struggling like mad to catch up. Just finished season 1 tonight.
Just caught up on Last Man on Earth . Buddy warned me it got uncomfortable because the protagonist is such a horrible person, but i was not prepared. Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Will Forte have absolutely succeeded in making me despise Phil Miller. He does THE BARE MINIMUM of nice things to keep me coming back. Its difficult to watch a show where you don't like the main character. But, I do love Kristen Schall, and I thought Mel Rodriguez was great in Better Call Saul and think he's nailing it here too. And Mary Steenburgen.... she's been my older lady crush since I first saw Back to the Future 3.
So I'll keep watching.
So I'll keep watching.
I like to think of Phil as like Ice King, only instead of from a magic crown his madness is from societal withdrawal and the heat of Tucson. Either way I still find him and the show funny so I'm cool with it.

More Steven Universe.
While season 1 feels like mostly misadventures that are used to set up details about the world, season 2 is just full of character and plot stuff getting to build off that foundation. But even then, they go beyond it. "Alone Together" was about so many things, more than just the content of the episode, but the execution and what it means; just an amazing 10 minutes. I wish I didn't know a certain plot twist for later in the season.
Also, "Garnet's Universe" and "Future Vision" episodes help cement Garnet as my favorite character. She is so quiet and seemingly stoic, but also such a tremendous positive force in Steven's life. She could've made the "Garnet's Universe" thing about her, or just said she didn't want to tell him, but instead knowing Steven is an imaginative child, asks him to tell her what he thinks she did all day. And in "Future Vision," it's just so clear how much she loves him.
There's other stuff with the other characters ... honestly you could write pages and pages about this show. I'm just stunned by the talent at work here.

We actually only JUST started Season 2. Open Book, Story for Steven, and Shirt Club are all Season 1 episodes that got rescheduled to more recently because they wanted the "Steven Bomb" event to have all of it's episodes build off of each other. We're actually only 3 episodes into Season 2, which starts with Full Disclosure.
Ah the reschedule, its like they were just TESTING my compulsive need for a proper episode order that no awesome Matt Burnett post could overturn.
Adventure Time
Adventure Time
This episode we learn that denying friendship to a guy you KNOW is psychotic, and then trying to force himself to be cured will end with him violently lashing out.
"We don't like you, but we're here for you!" Its weird, IK froze two of his friends for no reason, and yet I STILL feel bad for him for how his furniture treated him. They knew all of his darkest secrets, and therefore knew most of all that he was lonely, yet instead they just tried to dominate him with their intellectual superiority. Hell, the times Finn and Jake punched Simon were NOTHING compared to this. Of course they were probably filled with chaotic evil, so that's to be expected.
