The TV Thread (GoT spoilers)

Well different strokes. I'm done with it though, it hasn't really been good since season 1.

Well he's not main cast on SHIELD so he could still do some episodes while on Twin Peaks. Not sure he needs to be a regular on shield after this season anyway. He doesn't seem like a very long term character to me.

True, guess they can make it work. Hope he sticks around though, I like him a lot.

Qwiss

He's been good so far but the casts gotten massive this season so it's hard to service everyone as it is. You were right about it improving though, night and day between the first half of season one and season two.

QuincyAbeyie

Indeed, their cast is huge now. Think they've done a good job of giving everyone material though, except: for Mac. And I'm glad he did, because he was boring.

Qwiss

They've made Fitz and Simmons pretty annoying too.

Think I'll go with TW5 just to catch up, then I'll do a coin flip for house of cards vs homeland.

I actually like them better now. Before they were basically the same person.

Watched the first season of Banshee now. Great fun.

Gazza M

yeah banshee is good fun. it feels like a bunch of different shows meshed into one, like strike back and justified perhaps. the main dude is some kind of hybrid between spartacus, arrow, and damian scott

QuincyAbeyie

I've watched every episode now. Kind of disappointed in season 2, wasn't even close to as good as the first one. Season 3 has come off to a good start, though. Haven't watched much Strike back, but the setting does remind me of Justified!

Gazza M

do yourself a favour and check out strike back if you like action packed shows. some of the best action set-pieces i've seen on tv. just realised both banshee and strike back are cinemax originals, which kind of explains the similar vibe.

QuincyAbeyie

Will keep that in mind! Plenty of shows airing now though, so will probably be after the TV season.

Qwiss

What do you think of Agent Carter so far Quincy? I'm finding a bit dull. Needs a decent big bad and the return of Iron Dad.

QuincyAbeyie

I think it started off okay, but then I realized the season is only 8 episodes. They really need to pick up the speed. Howard and a good bad guy would definitely help a lot.

Also it suffers from Agents of SHIELD actually being good now, so I just kind of want that back instead. Lots of comic book shows now, I watch most of them except Constantine.

Would rank them like this atm:

Agents of SHIELD
Arrow
Flash
Agent Carter
Gotham

Starting to lose patience with Gotham to be honest, but I'll finish the first season.

Qwiss

I actually like Gotham a lot, its got plenty of flaws but when its on point its great. Pretty much everything Penguin related is great. Finally Gordon is getting more interesting too.

QuincyAbeyie

I love Penguin too. I like Bullock and can stand Gordon. I hate Fish Mooney, Catgirl, Poison Ivy-kid, Barbara and the love triangle.

TWD S5. Homelands terrible now. House of Cards is ok but it's sudsy trash, it can be fun at times though.

I love House of Cards, I'm not sure I like the direction it's gone since the end of season 1 but it's really good fun and pretty dark.

I like Fish, was worried she'd be shit but shes a good villain. I mean I want to see her downfall but we're supposed to. Catgirl is very good. Poison Ivy is pointless. And Barbara is Gothams Laurel, so pointless and annoying.

Asterix

Watched episode 1 of Olive Kitteridge last night with the missus. Not a very cheery show, but had some unexpected twists. I'll give it a few more episodes to see how it develops. There aren't very many likeable characters so far.

Burnwinter

Second season of Rectify was quality. It's great watching a show with a single coherent story and very little in the way of padding and sub-arcs. Final episode was brutally tense.

Rex

Have to catch up with Rectify. The first season was great, but I haven't seen anything from season 2 yet.
