The official TV Series/Show Thread

Ah, they've deleted them I see.

It was a funny trolling thing which had absolutely nothing to do with Agents of SHIELD. I never knew about that show, thanks for posting about it!

So that NBC series 'Hannibal', it has been a crescendo of goodness. Literally, every following episode gets better and better. Or it could be looked at as the same great movie shown week by week. There are short plots that complete themselves each week, and that add something (not to be taken out again) to the overall continuing plot line that extends throughout all the episodes. Great scripts, great acting, great shooting -- I love this show.

...

I am a on ! 'Hannibal' was renewed by NBC for a second season! I doubted them at first, but I give prop to NBC for renewing it.

edit: I hope this has many seasons, and that they progress it through the book story lines (even though movies have already been made of them).

Good! That means he's just about due to turn evil.

Pretty cool concept in keeping the show going, by being able to change the actor as needed.

Latest episode of 'Game of Thrones'. What the hell was that!? Does it happen in the books too? D; -- had to watch something happy, felt so bad afterwards.

Concerning Dr. Who:

IIRC the concept of changing Doctors via "regeneration" started in the sixties, which was a great idea to keep the concept going. I have only seen the seasons with Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor (1987-89). and a few in the early 80s. I really want to see the "modern ones" someday.

I am done with Once Upon A Time now (2nd season) and still surprised how intrigued I am by the mix of "extreme liberty with the source material" and "very conservative moral issues" addressed in the show. My only fear is that it will become too confusing with all the time lines and plot lines - and they will end up "lost in heroes" style.

German TV started the 3rd season of Body of Proof, with 50% new cast. Not sure if this will be a big improvement. I liked the old team.

Thoughts on the "Odysseus" series currently running on ARTE in Germany/France

It was advertised as some sort of "ancient Homer-ian Game of Thrones", but the first three episodes were a disappointment. There are a lot of wooden dialogues and mediocre actors wrapped in linen (more or less) and everything focuses on Ithaka, the kingdom of Odysseus who has not returned from Troy yet. Nothing of his adventure (sirens, cyclops, magical transformation into pigs etc.). Just Penelope weaving a blanked and showing cleavage (+ Telemachos, her son showing his butt cheeks a lot) and discussing with her suitors.
A few good spear & shield fight scenes (if you got teased my Grey Worm in Game of Thrones).

Recommendation after episode 3: record on HD, fast forward to fight scenes & some naked bodies, you know the story anyway.

My wife and I have discovered that we both watched Quantum Leap as children, so it's been fun to rewatch it on Netflix. (between this and Firefly, I feel like I'm slowly winning her over to liking good sci-fi... though I doubt she'll like BSG)

The trouble is that none of the legitimate sources seem to have all of the episodes. Between Hulu and Netflix, some are either out of order or missing. It's not the kind of show where you'd notice without checking imdb, but it's still weird.

Get her to watch Babylon 5. :)
