Support NeoGAF

[ivysaur12]

Homophobes.are continually angry about POI on Facebook. The latest post almost incited a riot.

Bad social media comments probably don't matter much (or at all) to the CBS decision makers, but there is a long list of vocal idiots speaking out against a show they enjoy(ed?) in the one place that it would be nice to show support.

No one cares about those, though this amused me in just how brazenly misogynistic it is:

Ron Pulliam I dropped the show because it became too female-oriented. I fell in love with a show about a machine, the man who invented it and the super-mercenary fighter engaged to help people out of life-threatening situations. I welcomed the female detective and her shady partner. But it soon began spinning out of control. At this point, I couldn't care less.

Ron Pulliam Bite me, you feminist trollop (one good name-calling deserves another!). The show was about two men and and a machine -- then the writers overwhelmed them with skirts. RUINED the show for me. I don't care how strong a woman or group of women can be...that's not what pulled me into the show. And I just don't need nonsense crammed down my throat when a program is being ruined by it. I stated my opinion. You didn't have to like it, but you can "good riddance" yourself to death over it if you want to.

Ron Pulliam Amanda Hanie: Re: "You seem to believe that you are also entitled to comment on a public forum and be free from reply or have everyone agree with what you say. I'm sorry to tell you that that is not your right." Do you not see the response to my first comment where I'm being challenged to define myself as a sexist or idiot? That is NOT a reply. That is an attack. I reserve the "right" to comment without being harrassed about my opinion. You can disagree...strongly...or you can agree. I can disagree with you. Nothing I said is dangerous or harmful. I think the writers turned the show into a chick show. Is that dangerous? It harmed the show, but is it harmful that I said it? And for the record, one season ago, John was barely on the show and neither was Fusco. It was Harold and Shaw and Root and the women of the other side. And the women were always saving the men. I don't find that remotely realistic for the mise-en-scene of the show. But by all means, psychologically classify that view as dangerous and harmful. My attitude this moment: Sue me.

I was thinking that, Most social media (good or bad) s basically just noise.

Wow that guy's got some issues. "This show has two female characters in the main cast waaah! Get those skirts outta here! I came here to watch a show about two men and a machine, not a show about a buncha girls prancing around in skirts! Girls wouldn't know how to use that machine!" *flips channel back to Spike*

And that's why I only read comments on a few select places on the internet. I couldn't take it all the time though it's amusing to see them when someone highlights some especially terrible ones like you did.

That dude really doesn't want any women in his clubhouse.

 

[ivysaur12]

There is something intrinsically amusing about how defensive people get when they're called out on their shit. What did you think would happen posting your (shitty) opinion in a public forum?

 

[Sober]

Women? In my comic book adaptations fantasy settings high-concept science fiction? Well I never!

Well those are different jokes than the version that I read a few months ago, but the sensibility is the same. That show could have come out in 1992.

He really wanted it to be like an updated Cosby Show.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Think it was until the last few episodes. Last 2 were bad.

I blame Cinco de Mayo, for the season finale at least.

I love to see bigots' reactions to that one moment in If-Then-else. Probably got a lot of hate, but I freaking loved it.

10-11 P.M. — BEST TIME EVER WITH NEIL PATRICK HARRIS/Chicago Fire (November)

Chicago Fire doesn't start until November? That's disappointing. As long it's still a full season.

 

[Joni]

Might give Blindspot and Heroes Reborn a chance if the pilot/trailers are good. Just have to hope the trailers end up on Youtube.

 

[Nobility]

Looks like just The Blacklist for me with NBC, which kind of a surprise for me.

I normally have at least have one pilot on NBC that gets my interest.

Why CBS taking so long?

 

[Hobbun]

Was American Odyssey cancelled?

 

[ivysaur12]

I dunno, the porn joke in the People Are Talking trailer made me laugh.

I forgot Heroes Reborn was a thing. Damn

Maybe there is still a chance for Journeyman if they bring that back.

Get Kevin McKidd off Grey's Anatomy... NOW!!

 

[ivysaur12]

wait what

Of NBC’s bubble series, the network is deferring making a decision on recent entries American Odyssey and AD: The Bible Continues until after the upfronts.

Like, American Odyssey got a 0.5 the other week. That would make its renewal uncertain on some cable networks.

 

[Hobbun]

When are the upfronts?

 

[TheAbsolution]

When are the upfronts?

Next week.


Trailer impressions:
Blindspot: I'll at least watch the pilot. It's definitely interesting.

Heartbreaker- HELL NO. Nope. Quit about a minute into the trailer. Way too melodramatic.

People are Talking - Maybe. The porn joke got a chuckle out of me.

The Player - Will watch for Snipes.

I actually thought the porn thing was kind of funny, but their Friday schedule makes no sense to me.

Let's not get into dissecting your immaculate taste, shall we?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Player feels like it should cross over with The Blacklist.

Wesley Snipes and James Spader Yucking it up would be great

Blindspot looks interesting, would like to see how it develops out of the pilot though.

Heartbreaker is just not my jam, but whatever, beautiful people being doctors does not offend me.

The Player is basically Person of Interest: Las Vegas with I'm guessing none of the subtlety.

People are Talking - got a few laughs out of me at least.

 

[Redx508]

yea Blindspot looks interesting ill watch a few eps see if is a keeper or not

 

[ivysaur12]

Blindspot is a show that could very easily fall apart, but Martin Gero is a good writer (yay The LA Complex), so I'm more intrigued than I would be if it were from Joe Schmoe Writer.

There's some potentially cool feminist motions there, too.

 

[Pachimari]

Has any new shows started up in recent weeks?
I'm especially thinking Wayward Pines? Did that premiere and how many episodes in are we?

Man...they sure know what to promote for Blindspot.

Is that.......Sif?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yup. That's Sif from Thor

 

[G0523]

I actually thought the porn thing was kind of funny, but their Friday schedule makes no sense to me.

Maybe they're putting Undateable there on auto pilot like ABC does with Last Man Standing? And then see if whatever show they put on after it will work too?

 

[strafer]

Yup. That's Sif from Thor

My body is ready.

 

[ivysaur12]

Man, I hope so. I like Undateable and I'm actually not opposed to the live concept.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Blindspot looks good, but I think it's basically Blacklist with this chick's body being the clues instead of Spader.

I can't blame NBC for taking a similar approach to this, as Blacklist has been pretty successful.

I anticipate a crossover episode (or two) down the line.

Edit - No to Heartbreaker though I can see my wife trying that one. No to People are Talking ... though yes the babysitter is hot.

 

[Toothless]

Impressions of the trailers

Blindspot - started eh but got good. Will give it a try, looks the best of these four.

Heartbreaker - No, not for me.

People Are Talking - Had some good bits, will try it out

The Player - looks like it could be a fun guilty pleasure, will give it a shot

 

[Dereck]

Uhhhh....what's going on with Rashida Jones' show?

EDIT: Fall 2015, nvm

 

[ivysaur12]

It's on TBS?

Same problem as their official player, region-limited. Luckily, other channels uploaded it too. The Blindspot trailer is quite interesting, it looks like either the plot to a great movie or a shoddy procedural. Hopefully, more of the first than the latter.

Ah, good news then.

Just for future reference, use Hola next time.

 

[dabig2]

Watched about a minute from the Blindspot trailer. So is this like Prison Break mashed up with Bourne and that 1 episode from Agents of SHIELD S2 with Lady Sif? I'm in complete love with Jaime Alexander so I'm on board anyways.

 

[Tamanon]

Just saw some the trailers for the NBC shows. The Player is.....weird. I still don't get the concept. It seems too tricky by half, but I'll give it a shot.

If Jackie Chan and Tucker are involved in Rush Hour I am in!
