[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

[CynicismKills]

Still worming through TNG, and man. Best of Both Worlds are a great set of episodes, but the following one, Family, just knocks the whole set out of the park. What a great chunk of television.

Spoiler

Picard's breakdown about being Borg almost had me crying.

 

[PatrThom]

Oh, just wait, there's more.

[GasBandit]

 

[PatrThom]

That doesn't look anything like Billy Mays.

Well i'll be, looks like Daddy Stark and Rudy are going on a biblical adventure:

[PatrThom]

Not convinced of the Cassidy character.
Jody isn't as massive as I expected, but he certainly appears violent enough.

I thought it was going to be Sean Bean.

 

[@Li3n]

I thought it was going to be Sean Bean.

Why? Does he die at the ned end? (heh, misspelt it the 1st time)

 

[Hailey Knight]

You said Daddy Stark and I thought you meant Ned Stark.

 

[@Li3n]

You said Daddy Stark and I thought you meant Ned Stark.

Nah, that would be The Ned... it is known.

 

[CynicismKills]

Starting s5 of TNG, Worf and his brother are talking, and the brother says

"Is there nothing in your heart but duty?"

So of course, me being a child, I laughed my ass off.

 

[CynicismKills]

Ugh season 5 is going to turn me into a blubbering manchild. I, Borg was one thing, but The Inner Light hurts my soul. It's too sad, stop being so sad.

 

[Yoshimickster]

Finished Mr. Robot, DAMN good show.

 

[GasBandit]

Ugh season 5 is going to turn me into a blubbering manchild. I, Borg was one thing, but The Inner Light hurts my soul. It's too sad, stop being so sad.

That's the flute coma episode, right? Yeah, that one gets you right here.

 

[Denbrought]

That's the flute coma episode, right? Yeah, that one gets you right here.

Not to mention

Spoiler

how integral it becomes to Picard's character. I love how 'scars' stayed with characters, and the role they played as the show went on.

 

[CynicismKills]

Yeah, that last scene

Spoiler

when Riker shows him they found the flute in the satellite, and Picard clutches it to his chest before playing that lullaby, ugh.

Yeah, Picard and Guinan wrestling with how to handle Hugh was really interesting.

As I said...

Dang Geordi

Spoiler

you can't talk to Scotty like that.

 

[GasBandit]

Dang Geordi

Spoiler

you can't talk to Scotty like that.

One hell of a "it is green" callback to TOS though.

 

[CynicismKills]

Hah! I had to look it up as I've not seen much TOS, but that's awesome.

 

[GasBandit]

For those who don't know:

 

[CynicismKills]

Man I'm getting tired of Ferengi. They're like an entire race of Snidely Whiplashes, bunch of doofy mustache-twirling dinguses.

 

[GasBandit]

Man I'm getting tired of Ferengi. They're like an entire race of Snidely Whiplashes, bunch of doofy mustache-twirling dinguses.

Yeah, they weren't really sure what to do with them until DS9. Don't worry, they become less prominent in TNG, especially once the ***snnnkkgghhh*** NO CARRIER

 

[CynicismKills]

Yeah I'm on the s6 episode where Picard and a couple others get turned into kids (and man there is no way the teenage Picard is a good choice for young Patrick Stewart), and I'm noticing they're showing up less and less often, thankfully.

 

[CynicismKills]

Okay I can accept a lot of corny effects, but these are obviously not Picard's hands and it looks super awkward.

 

[GasBandit]

It was less of an issue on a glass Standard Def CRT where the corners were rounded so you didn't see the rogue armhair there.

 

[AshburnerX]

That fake flute went for 40 grand.

 

[CynicismKills]

That fake flute went for 40 grand.

Yeah Patr posted the video earlier, though I can't say I'm surprised it managed such a high price.

 

[PatrThom]

You know, I never noticed that. What I did notice was that the notes didn't change when the fingering changed, or that they would change when the fingering didn't.

I can't say I'm surprised it managed such a high price.

It was expected to go for between $800-$1200 if you look at the catalog.
Fun fact. I own one of those catalogs. I used to own two, but gave one as a gift.

[Squidleybits]

I'm totally obsessed with Gold Rush. I can't quit it!

 

[CynicismKills]

It's funny to run into all these guest actors in TNG. In season 7 now, and a very young Kirsten Dunst just popped up.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Well, watch Supergirl if you can for the rest of the season. It is likely canceled.

http://www.inquisitr.com/2927868/su...newal-list-creates-rumors-about-cancellation/

I wonder if CW can swoop it up and add it to the other DC shows that they run.

 

[Celt Z]

I hope it's not canceled. I think it's really found it's footing lately.

 

[filmfanatic]

I hope it's not canceled. I think it's really found it's footing lately.

Definitely. It also seems odd if they were to cancel it now, considering the folks involved with the show have been saying that Lynda Carter will have a role in season two.

 

[Covar]

All that headline is missing is a line about telling me how to feel.

The head of CBS had said that all their freshman shows were being renewed before the EW list of shows came out. Poorer rated shows were renewed by CBS so baring a budget issue they probably are still working on the details.
