Obscure, but watching How I Met Your Mother when Robin cheats on Kevin, and is about to tell him when he stops her, saying whatever he has to tell her is better left unsaid, and if it's going to hurt him, why bother saying it in the first place.

Just really pissed me off.

Why, isn't that how a healthy relationship work?
 
Those magical chinese bullets that you can control with a laser in the Mac Gyver reboot / Hawaii Five crossover episode....
 
Wasn't it NCIS that admitted that they (and other shows) intentionally doing hacking scenes as absurd as possible, to the point where they're like trying to one-up each other?

No, in fact I can't watch cringey stuff at all. Which is why I am confused.



Airline pilots weren't exactly Osama's biggest fans. It's a bit of an odd situation, but within the context of 9/11 and the reaction to the President announcing that Bin Laden had been killed, it makes sense. Over dramatic and a bit sloppy, but not the worst thing ever.

If you're going to make a serious point about airline pilots and Bin Laden, maybe try keeping the cockpit door secure next time.
 
I don't even know what I saw with that hacking scene... What fucking cable is that strong that a FUCKING PLANE DOESN'T RIP IT OFF A LAPTOP

I think the OA gets bonus bullshit points because it inadvertently makes light of school shooters with how ineptly they handle their fictitious one. For me, The Newsroom's largest sin is that it feels self congratulatory and assumes the viewer will follow along with its jingoism because they too celebrated the death of Bin Laden.

But the OA is a special kind of stupid, the kind that is so egregious it insults actual social issues.

Yup.

Now the OA has literally the dumbest scene in TV history? Because it chose to use interpretive dance?

Opinion threads never fail to get to point of "that thing you enjoyed and found interesting and valuable and maybe resonated with you? It totally sucks. You actually didn't enjoy it. You're wrong."

Lol, why are you taking this so harshly...

People just thought it looked dumb. Also you're saying people are saying it's dumb merely because it used interpretive dance, but conveniently ignore that they're using interpretive dance in order to
distract a freaking school shooter that came out of nowhere. The entire scene is just hilariously cringeworthy.
 
Good lord that OA clip. On some level im happy i just spoiled it, cause i was actually interested in watching this but not with that type of ending level cringe. On the other maybe i wouldnt have minded it as much if i had watched the whole thing.

But yeah it always amazes me, you have 100 extras in there with multiple guys filming and everyone on set and nobody was like "ok this shit looks dumb as fuck"
 
I think you really have to give it to the OA scene because it's like the climax to the whole season, where as some random hacking scene on a cop show is just a random moment in a random episode. That dance was the thing the whole show was building to!

I went from thinking the show was interesting, to meh, to hating the show after that last scene. However, the scene kinda sorta makes sense. Major spoilers...

The bulk of the series is Brit Marling telling the story of her abduction to these high school kids, and the dance they learned during that time that had special powers. But it turned out that Brit was full of shit. She made it up. To what extent I'm not certain. Was this her coping mechanism during the time of her abduction? But the point is the dance had no special powers. So the random guy hitting the shooter made sense. There wasn't going to be some miraculous intervention. Unless you count that random guy... but fuck that noise and the entire school shooter premise.

The ending of the show is not as clear cut as you're making it seem. It's left open to interpretation.

It's like the end of Karate Kid 3 but more wtf.

I just watched the scene. What the fuck was that ???


EDIT : My mind is even more blown. I just saw a clip of "The next Karate Kid" and it had Hillary Swank, Michael Ironside and Walter fucking Goggins ? Ah ah ah that's incredible...

The Rudy scene from The Newsroom is pretty awful.

I think the end of the Karate Kid 3 still poked fun at that whole kata-thing. One of the guys says, "Hit him, Mike, he's hallucinating!"

I could see the OA dance scene happening and two people under a table looking to each other and say, "We're about get killed and these idiots think they are in a Step Up movie!"
 
Out of context to someone who didn't watched the show, the dance scene on The OA looks way dumber. It actually makes sense with the story of the show

But, as someone who liked the series, I agree that it's a dumb (but not the dumbest) scene

It was a great ending to a great show and you saw it out of context, I am sorry for you.

Don't let this post lie to you, it was an okay show at best with a horrible ending and it's even worse in the context of the show.

Yep. Still a bad scene, but seeing it out of context just makes it even more so.

I posted it a couple pages back but to be fair pretty much everything from TWD could go in this thread. That OA scene might be even worse tho.

Why don't you explain for us

It will be a little bit hard to explain everything without seeing all this episode again, but I will try to do my best.

There was some kind of bug in a new traffic control software and this software is automatically updated after some time. This bug causes the air to ground communication system to completely shut down.

Soon, it will be impossible to communicate between the ground control and every other airplane.

Many airplanes have now lost communication with the ground control, they can't land and they try to stay in the sky for the moment, but they will shortly run out of fuel.

Panic ensues and the government asks the help of the Scorpion Team.

The Scorpion Team has to come up with a solution that will revert this major fuck up.

They try to find an older version of this software and it is only available on a backup server that still has the previous version software, but it is at the other side of the city and it is scheduled to be updated very soon.

They made it just in time before this older software version is erased by the updated one, but the hard drive with it is damaged or corrupted in the transport back to the ground control.

They think that they have lost this older software version, but there is still one place that has it and this is in an airplane that is still running on this older software version and flying near the city.

However this airplane can't land on this landing strip for some reason that I don't remember, maybe it has something to do about the software version that will automatically be updated and be lost or that the airplane is too fast or too big for this landing strip.

So, they have to get as close as possible to this airplane (with the fast sport car) and try to transfer this older software version to a hard drive (the laptop) before this airplane crashes itself on the landing strip.

Now that they have access to this older software version, they push it as a newer version of the software to save every other airplane in the sky that can't land and save the day at the same time.

I think that was that.

There was no hacking in that scene.

what's funny is until this thread, i had no idea what "hate-watching" was, lol.
seriously, there are actually real-life people who do this?? people who spend a decent portion of your own time watching a show you don't actually like? i wish i had that level of spare time, lol.

if i don't like a show, i simply watch something else. but i guess that's just me… is this part of 'hater-culture' or something. i don't get it. i'm really getting old.

You should see the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones book reader threads. People must have tons of free time to watch these shows they don't enjoy, and post about them endlessly.

I mean, hate-watching has been a thing since as far back as I can remember. Used to watch terrible movies on VHS in the 90s with my cousins. It's fun to make fun of bad tv/movies with you friends... not sure whats hard to get about it. Everything Is Terrible started in 2000 and is still going strong.

There's a difference - I enjoy watching bad movies. It's fun to laugh along and make fun of them, and there's a certain charm to them.
But hate watchers of, say, The Walking Dead, don't seem to be having any fun. They just...don't like the show, yet continue watching every week while threatening to stop watching, as if the people who enjoy it give a shit. They don't seem to derive any pleasure from the actual show, but they gain energy from posting negative comments about it every week. It's really odd to me.

Is he looking into the camera before fucking himself up?

No, someone is saying something to him from the other room and I assume he's looking in that direction, it just happens to be right into the camera. So actually yeah, I guess.

I never knew there was so much hate for the Newsroom. My wife and I really like that show. It got progressively worse season to season but just lower levels of good, never outright bad. Wonder what that says about us?
