Season premiere on in 5! I'm watching it after Raw.

Got done watching. Tonight's premiere was okay, the case was what it was and I suppose the symbolism and hallucinations brought upon by Walt suffering from the effects of hypothermia was supposed to represent him running away from his problems and with the owl representing death, since it's supposed to be the messenger of death in Cheyenne culture. Aside from that, I wish the show was a lot more grittier like Justified and I get the series is based off a series of books but I think the show needs to develop their ongoing storylines more and make them more focused and intertwined within each investigation Walt and his deputies take on in each episode.

"You hear them too..." Creepy scene.
Really enjoyed this season premiere, had a fun time. Longmire really went the extra mile to catch this guy. High octane episode, great way to jump back into things.

It isn't as griity as Justified and Banshee, but it's the one procedural drama that I really enjoy and care about. Would love it if they tweeked the show in the areas you mentioned, but even if it stayed the same, I think I'd stay with it. Has a special kind of charm that I just can't put my finger on.

>>236106
I mean I like the setting and Longmire and his deputies' approach of solving crimes without all the CSI shit. I do kind of wish that the actors' characters could be utilized better to suit their strengths like Katee Sackhoff for example. I think AV Club summed her character up pretty well:

>Sackhoff does her best, but Vic doesn’t really make a lot of sense: She’s crazy emotional about Walt being missing, but also scared and vulnerable and weepy over everything. The intensity of her connection is all out of proportion to the situation.

It’s just too much, and it shows how little the writers understand Sackoff’s strengths. On Battlestar Galactica she made an impression by being both intensely passionate and a total badass — her walking open wound emotional status was part of what made her such a brilliant fighter. Here, her ability to convey intense angst is hamstrung by the character’s incompetence, turning the actress’ gift into a forced romantic trope; aw, she’s in wuv with her boss, and she doesn’t know what to do about it. The sad thing is, with any other actress in this role the character would be unmemorable but fine. With Sackhoff, it becomes this immensely frustrating adventure in cognitive dissonance, because the actress is selling a complexity the scripts refuse to deliver on.

bumping for tonight's episode. I probably won't bump it anymore after tonight.

just watch all the skate videos you can. especially Birdhouse and Powell Peralta, those are kind of the seminal ones that were less just a bunch of dudes doing tricks and more a slice of skater culture

skately.com has assloads of videos in the library and torrent sites usually have a pretty good selection of em, the other people involved in the production probably have a decent collection too

'Ism Ism' by Manuel DeLanda is a little super 8 film about billboard subversion/graffiti in NYC ~1980. seems like it's been taken off youtube but I know it's on the Cinema of Transgression Vol. 1 VHS which isn't *too* difficult to come by (they have a copy of it at my local library, try yours I guess)

>>236684

I read that as Jason Statham.

Jason Statham as the 12th Doctor.

>>236685

No one ever likes the 6th, shame. Not his fault the BBC was dead set on killing the show. I really enjoyed Baker's one full season (the trial was just a long who clips show, though there were some interesting bits and pieces thrown in. I get that the costume was atrocious, even by mid 80s standards (which were pretty lenient). Still I like where he was heading with the character, especially after Davison's softly softly approach. I'm glad the Big Finish series has vindicated him to an extent.

>>236689
Big Finish saved 8 for me. 6... I just didn't enjoy him or his episodes. 5 was technically a worse Doctor but he had better episodes, which kinda set him higher. Maybe I should switch those two, I can never tell where to put 5 and 6. They're always the bottom two, but always changing spots. Only Doctors I have actively disliked during their runs. I'll try listening to a few more of his Big Finish once I finish 8's new box set of adventures. 8th Doctor's BF seasons are better than some nu_Who seasons, it's wild. Sad Lucie Miller won't be in the new adventures...

I still need to start watching Doctor Who.
Apart from the ocassional episode, I have seen nothing in terms of story.

I know it's a very long running show.. so where do I need to start watching? From the beginning?

>>236709
Just start from the 2005 reboot. Watch that from the start, then check out some of the original Doctors

They better have learned their lesson about not solving the case at the end of a season...

>>236426
Hopefully so but we'll see how they do with this case.

Well, some start to a season. Like the homeless lesbian character, wish she had been on this show from the start. If only homeless people were this cute...
As for the new parents of the victim, the Larson parents were better at making me genuinely upset for their loss, these two were still sad, but not as good at making me sad aswell. Actually, now that I'm a little deeper into the episode, it's looking like a serial killer and not a single murder, so the parents likely won't be as prevalent this season as in previous ones.
Season is off to a dark start, like this direction they're taking, nowhere near The Wire but at least trying to focus heavy on aspects of society, like homelessness, that most would rather not see on TV and be forced to think about. Some homeless scenes are emotional and disturbing, others are so corny you laugh your ass off. I like the balance of being good and being fun to make fun of. Last seasons weren't even fun enough to make fun of.
This town is a lot shiftier overall than I remembered. Everyone feels like they belong on Bates Motel.
Overall, lot's of new, amazing characters. Bullet being the coolest.
LOL Chief from BSG was in this, too. Love seeing him in things, like Hemlock Grove. Kaylee from Firefly also made an appearance.
So what does /mtv/ think of the new season? Seems like it's trying extra hard to not get cancelled. Kind of excited for the season for once. After that ending, it's shaping up to be some great TV

>>236694
WHO THE FUCK PUT YOUR NAME IN THE RNG LIST?
>>236569
Beer milkshake sounds pretty good right about now

>>236695
I don't know.

>>236695
I did.
She made Powerpuff girls and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. I like Cartoon Network cartoons so I figured I'd stick it in there.

>>236712
Damn. I like those two shows. Didn't know the connection...

>>236712

No she did not. Stop giving her credit for things her husband did.

nb for not Red Dwarf related

That's the new Teen Titans...? Damn

OP here. I think I found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16P19VLvebQ

Murder in the First. I knew I wasnt imagining this trailer scene

>>236597
jolly african-american you trippin. The scene is less than a second long so you have no idea if it's piss or if he's been whipped.

>>236597
Well, OP, I've seen that movie before and I can assure you it's not piss. It's also just not a very good movie.

woodhouse, no notion on what you're describing. But I'm gonna recommend American Me. its quite brutal. nb

>>236635
>>236637

Yeah I thought that might be the case just based on the fact that nobody had heard of such a scene in a movie. But that definitely is the trailer and the part where he paused and told me that was what was happening. I guess he was bullshitting then, ah well. Kids eh?

>>236456
Yeah man I love watching shitty cooks think they know better than Gordon Ramsay until he breaks their spirit.

In the same vein, I quite like the Jeremy Kyle show.

>>236544

>Maury says "you are NOT the father"

Hahaha, good times. I like laughing at others peoples misery.

>>236544
Hands-down the best. I've always wanted to be an audience member on one of those shows.

Maury stopped being entertaining for me. I don't understand why.

Jackass

So, was even a single person upset at La Guerta dying? Or were we just mad at Deb for fucking up Dexter's plan?

>>236572
Seeing as she died in the first book, I had a constant feeling she would die at any minute throughout the series. It's funny because she nearly died the exact same way she did in the first novel.

Honestly? I've hated Deb the entire show. She's just a naggy, annoying, negative, weird little kike who doesn't know how to shut her vag. Last season I FINALLY started liking her.

Anyway, I'm a fan of the books more than I am of the show, but the show is one of my favorites. It's cool following two different storylines of the same character, however, your feelings cross between the two mediums about the characters, despite them being slightly different.

>>236584

>She's just a naggy, annoying, negative, weird little kike who doesn't know how to shut her vag

I think she's hot enough where I am able to overlook these things.

>>236588
I'd fuck her, but honestly, I don't think she's that attractive. No tits, no ass, ridiculous jaw line and a disgusting, uneven, tan.

I was actually looking forward to her and Dex banging.

But the funny thing is- Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter had an affair or something. *shrugs* If you work on television or film long enough with someone, you're bound to fuck, it seems.

>>236593
Oh, they were married.

>>231675
I agree. I've finished season one and there's a lot of potential and some good answers to early questions. Lots of good storylines and subplots going on. Especially the ex-sheriff with his lump of c4, the brother of the lesbian monster hunter going after THE DRAGON, and everything that happens to the Gypos. Don't read that if you haven't totally finished the series.

I started watching this last night. I lost pretty much all interest after episode two ended. Another show about kids in high schools being vampires/werewolves. Lame. Most of the acting was pretty bad too imo. The two leads (Roman and Peter) were alright, but almost everyone else is horrible. The "novelist" chick (can't recall her name right now) was particularly bad. Famke Janssen's accent is horrible as well.

That wolf transformation scene was very well done though, I'll give it that. I've just had enough with shows that are about vampires/werewolves in high school. I've never seen one that turned out to be good so I don't expect this one to be any better.

>>233713
Give it till episode four. The first two completely suck but then it picks up.

>>233713

Wait till Chausser shows up. Worse actor on that show, well, next to those twins, the writer, and those two douchebag cops. Even Bill Skarsgard hams it up towards the middle of the series.

So it's been a while since this thread has been bumped... anyone else finish this show yet?

>>231558

>>231555
Whoa. Good show.

>>231739

I didn't get into it at the time, I'm trying to watch it again but I just can't get into the characters at all and some of the episode plots are just stupid. The setting is pretty cool though, it seems like the most realistic approach to Earth's future I've seen in sci-fi, it's neither utopia nor dystopia. I did spy a certain Mr Combs in episode 16.

Been watching this all week. Best character is Micheal so far, with his alcoholism and whatnot.

So I recently watched the entire series of Lost and loved it. So many great reveals and twists. Some seasons are better than others though... season 5 IMO was criminally underrated, whereas season 3 and 6 both had rocky moments (that fucking tattoo episode...). Season 6 was a bit of a disappointment for me because they answered one of the best themes of the series- the theme of free will or determinism. The way Lost treated this issue was very interesting, especially in the later seasons (prior to 6). I didn't care much for the allegorical stuff that Lost was delving into in the sixth season either. However, there were some really good season 6 episodes that made up for the lesser ones to me. While I do think John Locke and Ben Linus were great characters and two of the best in the series, my favorite is definitely Desmond. Great plotlines revolved around him, and I think his relationship with Penny was very believable. Least favorite character? Kate or those two fuckers from season 3.

Sorry for this rambling shitpost, I'm just excited to talk about Lost.

>>231487

>those two fuckers from season 3.

They were the best characters! Shit like their arc is what LOST is all about, fucking with your expectations. Shoehorn in two new main characters, knowing audience will hate them and want them dead, give them an epic episode to make you finally like them, kill them anyways, and horrifically.

>>231499
No one liked them. Ever. Did you watch as it aired?

>>231502
I did watch as it went, and remember everyone hating them. But the producers said after that since people hated the tailies, they added the jewel thieves knowing people would hate them, and wanted to have fun with making us hate them and then killing them in an extravagant way that they would never be able to get away with killing an established main character. One of the showrunners once cited it as their favorite episode of the show, saying it defines what the show was meant to be about, not the mystery of the island, but just people and their stories and how things never go the way you expect. When the final episode of season 6 aired, I was at a friends with Netflix and we had time to rewatch one episode before the finale started, and we chose the one where they get buried alive

So who was the best character? Hurley or Charlie?
And how can people choose anyone but Michael or Walt as worst character?
