Title: tee vee
Post by: bubblecat on February 20, 2015, 08:31:52 PM
Who here watches some TV series? I've been using Netflix a ton recently and the addiction won't stop. I watched 3 seasons of UK Skins in a week because I love watching teenagers ruin their lives in these types of dramas and that shit was satisfying as hell in that aspect, especially season 2. I'm about to jump into Lost and let it consume my life for about a month now. Then it's on to House of Cards after that.

I don't watch any TV show at the moment. In recent times, the only shows I've watched are Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, and Ancient Aliens. Yeah I know, not very exciting and extremely generic.
(Not counting Tokusatsu shows)
I've been meaning to rewatch Xena and Stargate but I've yet to do so. I feel like I used to watch several shows at once, but now I've run out of things I want to watch and nothing new seems to catch my interest.

I want to rewatch Xena too to see if it's as cool as my childhood self remembers it being.
Also from around the sameish era was a show about a cyborg chick from the director of Terminator 1 and 2 called Dark Angel that seems pretty cool.

I did rewatch Xena when I was 18-19. And Hercules too, when I was 22 I think.
Both were perfectly 90s cheesy, and absolutely charming. I also really love the the world still and the travelling adventurer shtick.
The one thing I did notice was the TERRIBLE cgi monsters they'd use (thankfully rarely). All the non-practical effects really jump out at you too, but there's not that much of it. Sometimes, low budget actually works in your favour it seems.
Edit: That does it, writing this post just made me want to rewatch it even more. I'm going to go looking for some DVDrips, I know Ky and I found a torrent before.

I found torrents on Demonoid. Exactly the same files as that one you used, only the file names are formatted prettier and it's one torrent per season instead of all in one. I was hoping I could find higher quality, oh well.
It's just part of the late 90s experience I guess :wink:

Netflix started pissing me off so I switched to other means of watching a lot of my stuff.
They censor a lot of licensed music, in season 5 of skins one of the characters is literately singling the lyrics to Slayer's angel of death to the tune of some generic free use light rock music, it was at that point I was like, "this isn't going to work anymore"

Post by: Royalkitten on March 11, 2015, 11:38:13 PM
Why? does netflix need its own license/agreement or whatever for the music too?
Title: Re: tee vee
Post by: bubblecat on March 11, 2015, 11:45:33 PM
No, it's usually either the rights for the original show expired, or had a special clause (can only be used in certain country, or only on broadcast tv or w/e) so Netflix uses whatever the most edited version available is.
When you can easily get the original unedited versions of shows elsewhere, there's not really a point in using Netflix to watch butchered versions.
I know Daria had a problem like this, the entire soundtrack was licensed music when it aired on MTV but they couldn't put it on dvd for over 10 years because of problems working that shit out, and in the end it had to be edited to hell.

TV's ok.
I've been watching The BBC's Musketeers and Doctor Who on Netflix, as well as the first few episodes of The Walking Dead.
As for what I actually watch on TV, I like Game of Thrones, but I try to keep from watching until I've read the corresponding book.
Aside from that, I'll more or less just casually catch South Park, Todd and the Book of pure evil on comedy, Star Trek reruns on Space (Canadian SyFy) and whatever stoner comedy's on Adult Swim.

The I.T Crowd is a pretty good show. It's like The Big Bang Theory, except it's written by British people so the jokes aren't fucking awful.

I'm just watching to see Tyrion at this point, that and Stannis the Mannis. Kingslayer is nice too, I hope he recovers some of his skill because he's growing to be a pretty cool guy. Also keep-forgetting-his-name who travelled with Jamie is pretty great, I hope he gets to bang that Dorn fighting tomboy chick. Too bad he doesn't get many scenes.
:ecchi:
Dragon Bitch is a terrible ruler, has no appeal to the audience, and doesn't seem to be doing anything of value in regards to the Nine Kingdoms within our lifetimes.
Arya went and got painfully cringey / angsty teenager on us.
Bran is MIA for the moment.
YOU KNOW NOTHING JOHN SNOW is dead, and John might be soon too
Torture Boy is painful to watch. Thankfully he has some moments of being a glorious bastard (lol).
Cersey (???) finally got what was coming to her last episode I saw, so she might be entertaining now.
RIP The Hound.

Maybe I should go back into GoT. I read all the book and dropped the tv serie at the end of S2 I think.
Turns out the show got better I think, or at least different from the books. It was sooo boring watching something you already know how it'll end.
Title: Re: tee vee
Post by: Ming on June 08, 2015, 12:41:18 PM
I think the next season will go past where the books are
So it might be worth watching (because Martin will likely die before finishing the books, considering he took 6 years to write his latest)

Where do you get the episode ? I only find up to S3 on tpb.
Title: Re: tee vee
Post by: Ming on June 08, 2015, 04:03:16 PM
I don't know honestly
I just downloaded the latest as the episodes aired since the start
Title: Re: tee vee
Post by: ScumbagSoldier on June 08, 2015, 04:21:15 PM
I try to read the book before watching the show.
Which means I'm way behind because the second book was so boring.
On another note, the Daredevil show is pretty good.

I do what I want :sparkle: I watched How I Met Your Mother a while ago, well most of it when it was airing, but I never watched the last handful of episodes. So, I got around to watching them. What the hell was up with that ending? :omg2: The "mother" turns out have died and the Ted's children are adamantly suggesting that he get together with Robin just out of nowhere. It spent the whole time building up that fact that he had the strongest love he's ever had for her and then he ends up settling for someone else. :augh:

I've never watched a single episode
Is it as hilarious as I've heard or is it just over rated?

It's like Friends but with some cheesy romance bits mixed in. It was enjoyable, but it's not the best thing ever. Well, compared to typical american sitcoms it's gold, but that's not saying much.

Barney is a very good character but the rest of the cast is men I think. Friends had much more memorable characters.
