Karsa Orlong Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I also saw `coming soon` trailers for The Flash/Arrow and Sleepy hollow - whee ! Must admit, I gave up on Sleepy Hollow half way through the second season. I really liked it at first but I thought Nicole Beharie's acting in the second season was appalling - it was like she was phoning it in from half a world away Castle 7x18 - the obligatory Ryan episode for the season Aquarius 1x06 - still quite liking this, mainly for Duchovny's performance - he's good at playing a-holes Fear the Walking Dead 1x03 I thought the characters couldn't possibly get any dumber. I was wrong Quote

woolf woolf Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Downton Abbey 6x01 - The One-Liner Countess Returns Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Just seen that there's a three-part adaptation of Phil Rickman's Midwinter of the Spirit (his second 'Merrily Watkins' book) starting on ITV tonight. I quite like the books, so I'll give it a go Quote
woolf woolf Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 The Office season 1 - I didn't like it much bar some moments, but I was expecting it because the following seasons are supposedly better. I've seen videos from the Youtube channel and they're awesome, I expect to find many more moments like those in the future. This served as an introduction to the characters. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Fear the Walking Dead 1x04 - and just as I was about to chuck it in something interesting finally happens. Curses! The Twilight Zone 1x04 Quote
Kylie Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I decided to watch just one episode of Dexter. Now I'm onto my fourth episode—it's getting too good to stop watching now. Quote
Ben Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Watching the third episode of Mr Robot. Anyone seen this before? I think it's ace but I'm pretty sure I've worked out a major plot point, which kinda ruins it. Quote
Kylie Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I haven't seen it, Ben, but it's on my 'to watch' list. I'm a little over halfway through the first season of Aquarius. Quote
woolf woolf Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 The Office: U.S. version season 2 - I watched two full seasons, but it's not my cup of tea. It has some funny moments and some well-made characters, but it isn't enough. It already seemed the story was forced in order to milk certain subplots, so I think it's better to stop now before I become too invested in the characters. I'm currently obtaining Battlestar Galactica: Remake from the internet. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 The Strain 2x05. No idea why I'm still watching this - apart from to see HP's Filch wielding a sword and chopping off vampire heads Quote
Little Pixie Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 The last 3 eps of Defiance S3 . Quote
woolf woolf Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Battlestar Galactica: Remake the miniseries - these first two massive episodes were good. Man created machine, machine turned against man, an armistice was agreed and machine has now returned to wipe out the entire human race. The plot is already confusing after two episodes, but it has hold held itself together so far and I hope it maintains this way. There were some space battles and plenty of exposition, so now I think I know everything I need to know from the characters and settings. Mass Effect seems to be heavily based on this, they're great videogames and I recommend them. Now, onwards to the main series. Edited September 27, 2015 by woolf woolf Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) ^^ BSG gets better. Much, much better. The last 3 eps of Defiance S3 . It hasn't been renewed yet, so chances are that's the end. I think they wrapped it up pretty well. ETA: I thought that final sequence was wonderful Edited September 27, 2015 by Karsa Orlong Quote
More reading time required Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Yep, BSG is definitely one to stick with I have been watching mostly BBC stuff lately: Cradle to Grave - amusing Boy meets Girl - rather different to the standard sitcom scenario Doctor Foster - far fetched but quite compelling GBBO - always entertaining Quote

woolf woolf Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Awwww, too bad you didn't like it Have you seen the British original? I saw the first episodes, but didn't like it. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 The first episode of Midwinter of the Spirit. It's a while since I read the book but, from what I can remember, it's a pretty decent adaptation so far. No idea why they started with the second book in the series, though Quote
frankie Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I saw the first episodes, but didn't like it. Then it's just not your thing, I suppose These things can't be helped! Quote
ian Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Yep, BSG is definitely one to stick with I have been watching mostly BBC stuff lately: Cradle to Grave - amusing Boy meets Girl - rather different to the standard sitcom scenario I'm really enjoying these two programmes. Cradle to Grave is very funny, and while Boy meets girl isn't laugh out loud funny, is has made me smile and is quite heart-warming. Quote
Little Pixie Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 It hasn't been renewed yet, so chances are that's the end. I think they wrapped it up pretty well. ETA: I thought that final sequence was wonderful I think they saved all their money up for the ending. Quote
mirandashell Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Yep, BSG is definitely one to stick with BSG is brilliant! Especially the first 3 series. I loved it. Quote
woolf woolf Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Battlestar Galactica: Remake 1x07 - "No more Mr. nice Gaius". Also, the pilot on the moon thing was too far-fetched Luther 1x01 - Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson were really good in the pilot. It's a rewatch, but this time I might watch the full first season. Edited September 28, 2015 by woolf woolf Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 BSG is brilliant! Especially the first 3 series. I loved it. Yeah, season 2 and the first half of season 3 particularly was excellent Quote
