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

Having a hard time getting on the show's side of seeing Skye's dad as a villain. He finds his wife peeled apart, his infant daughter is kidnapped ... kinda expected that he'd lose it. If you started the story from his perspective around the time of meeting his wife, the show would be treating him as the avenging protagonist.

Yeah, that was a really good story arc...

Though i hope they don't change Mr. Hyde in the comics because of it...
 
10 episode's into Agents of SHIELD season 2. So much happens in every episode, it's a little dizzying compared to the glacial pace of the first season. This one just plows ahead.

Just wait
 
Watching season 4 of Orange Is The New Black. Best part is, so far, there's not much focus on Piper. She's not really the main character anymore, it's more of an ensemble thing at this point.
 
Finished Agents of SHIELD season 2 tonight. That's probably the best season this show is going to have. Solid mystery, excellent pacing, a lot of emotional moments and character growth. We started season 3 (thanks Netflix!) tonight, and while it's got interesting stuff and will probably be a good season, my gut tells me there will be a shark jumping sometime in season 4.

Here they're really gunning for inhumans to replace mutants, more so than in the comics. Where in the comics the inhumans are off in their city being stoic and mysterious, but generally left to their own, here they take on the randomness and persecution aspects that have always been owned by the mutants.

I'm curious what you thought of the big reveal, if it caught you by surprise, and if you managed to go in unspoiled.
 
I watched Wrecked, tbs' comedy version of Lost. and my dumb ass laughed at more than half of it. Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords) is really really fucking hilarious. It also has really high production value/cost for a cable network 10-episode comedy. TV is crazy right now, y'all.
 
Gonna need you to be more specific :p. There were a lot of twists and turns and we ate through the season pretty fast.
I'm hesitant to mention it because I don't actually remember if it took place in season 2, but I think it did. It would be the biggest event of the season.

Edit: actually, maybe it was the end of season 1

Season 2 started with

Coulson carving out the Kree map in the walls, SHIELD fighting Hydra with Grant locked in the basement, and Skye trying to decipher Coulson's carvings.

And then ended with

Skye being inhuman, fighting the inhumans on the boat, her dad having to kill her mom, Simmons swallowed up by the Kree monolith, Coulson losing a hand, Ward starting a new Hydra.

It was a busy, busy season, so if what you're thinking of didn't happen between all that, it was either season 1 or season 3.

It was season 1.

Ward's reveal of being Hydra
 
It was season 1.

Ward's reveal of being Hydra
I knew Ward went bad at some point, but I didn't expect him to be Hydra, so the moment of him killing Agent Hand and the guards to free Garrick caught me offguard. And then I keep thinking he's going to turn around, but of course he doesn't, he's a shit.

Whoa the new Voltron is awesome! It really recaptured the adventure with danger feel from 80s media. Kind of has strains of Avatar the Last Airbender to it. Missing a female protagonist so far though.

How many episodes in are you?
 
Just finished watching season 4 of Orange is the New Black. (Not about clones :p)

Definitely a stronger season, but way more depressing.
 
Still working my way through House.
Amber just died. I cried like a fucking baby.
In my opinion, that is the most exquisitely-crafted moment of the entire series*. If something like that happened to me in real life, I would create new gods just so I could have someone to curse at.

*What I've seen of it, at least.

While I'd create New Gods to make Superman feel sad that there's an entire city of superheroes that he can never live in because he has to protect Earth! FOURTH WORLD!
 
Been watching Humans, which is a pretty great little low budget British sci-fi about androids. Does an excellent job at unsettling the audience I think.
