You seen all The Bridge eps so far? The Bridge is surely less than Justified, The Americans or other FX dramas but still pretty great. Everytime you think they do something predictable it turns round pretty quickly. The twist in the last episode was great.

Is this the same the bridge from Denmark? Hate it.
 
;'We have to go back' is one of those massive spoilers that enters the zeitgeist and ruins it for everyone who didn't watch it when it first aired.

People who use story-related, latter-season Breaking Bad gifs as reaction gifs are scum

Mad Men's my favourite programme on telly, and I've got witnesses in this thread who heard me cursing and huffing whilst trying to play Journey for the first time.

So stick that up your rectum my sumptuous Italian friend.

And with that I must sleep. For tomorrow I've got to work nine hours and watch In The Loop when I get in.

It first came out 9 years ago, come on.

I had / have a hard time getting into it. I really don't like the show's portrayal of Mexico. Feels too ... cliche. Some of the characters are almost cartoonish. Not a big fan of Diane Kruger's "asparger" acting either, although I gotta say I'm slowly warming up to her. I really enjoyed the last two episodes though. Looks like the show might be slowly finding its footing. I'll keep watching.

Good, love to hear your opinion when it's finished.

Though I don't think Mexico is too cliche. Juarez is really a poor city with lot's of criminal activity and they film on site. I think that's one of the best parts of the series.

It's modeled after the Danish one yes. But due to a completely different setting it feels different I imagine. Haven't seen the original though.

As far as it goes for new series from this year?

1. House of Cards
2. The Americans
3. The Bridge

Need to finish Hannibal. Planning on watching Orange is the New Black.

But I'm telling y'all, FX is rolling it hard.

I did my Top 5 when I finished watching Orphan Black. Since then I have been catching up with Orange is the New Black and The Bridge. So far:

1. House of Cards
2. The Americans
3. Orphan Black
4. Hannibal.
5. Orange is the New Black/ The Bridge.

Will decide once I'm done which one deserves to be on my top 5.

Interesting. Was just wondering, but interesting nonetheless.

edit
Still don't know what this "we have to go back" stuff people have been posting for years is about.

I read the article the Mirror put up about how Arsenal signed Ozil, by John Cross.

Suspiciously Kroenke is portrayed as playing a big role....

If there's one thing I learned on the internet it is that gaming tastes and taste in music or TV shows don't compare to each other. For example I like niche music and European films. But in games I pretty much play all the big blockbuster games and a handfull of XBLA Indie games. My taste in games would probably be frowned upon by a lot of hardcore gamers :p

I want a new Star Trek on TV.

Okay, add kharma to the 'posters with good taste' group. Fuck, I'd kill for a proper sci-fi show, preferenty one that has to do with space. Battlestar Galactica, as bad and contrived as it became in the last season, left a void in my heart.

Playing journey while on mumble with a bunch of people playing the last of us probably couldn't be a worse setting to be fair.

All I know about lost is that there's a plane, an island, a fat man, a wheelchair, a polar bear, a hobbit and a black man with a beard

I'm yet to watch B5, BSG or Stargate so I'm gonna blitz them some day.
 
Not every footballer can adjust to blood spinning that quickly.

That reminds me of the story on doping in Football which Beckenbauer recently told on live TV:
"Of course I got vitamin shots from the doc! No idea what was in it. The doc told me that it's a vitamin shot."

Bayern, winning things with doping since 1964.

4????
I read 2-3 weeks

Well, 3-4 is what I read, which basically is 4 weeks unless there's some miraculous healing.

I played it at 11pm, alone in my front room with all the lights off and nothing but a Vimto to keep me company.

It was boring. Nice to look at but just fucking boring.

AAA games only please #letmeplayryse #qteforever

I want a HBO/AMC Dredd show in the vein of the recent movie. Or a new Star Trek as Kharma says, but I've only watched bits and bobs of TOS and TNG
 
I gueniely (fuck can't spell hahahahaha) liked LOST for about 3 seasons. Was fun, interesting and original. Then it started doing the time-travel bullshit and it got silly. I kept watching tho, can't remember what ep I'm on now. Walkabout and The Constant are brilliant eps.

Just watch it(go in without either horrible or amazing expectations) and finish season 1. See if you like it, if not, oh well. My problem is people just not liking it without having even watched it.

I watched BSG's pilot way back and I loved it

And I..have no idea why I stopped watching. Life, I guess.

That season aired what, 5 years ago? And it didn't take long after it first aired for people to throw it around
We have to go back to the cave
We have to go back to house
We have to go back to the beach
 
hahaha incredible.



Are you seriously suggesting I shouldn't discuss spoilers from a tv programme that aired 5 years ago.?

No, I'm saying that its annoying that people threw it around, as well as blatant references to the story turn, soon after the episode aired. There is no set period after which it becomes acceptable to neglect spoiler warnings, but as someone who always intended to catch up with Lost, it was impossible to avod that particular spoiler even 6 months after the episode, as it became a part of pop culture which was endlessly referenced in even th most irrelevant threads. I doubt there's a person in this thread, Lost-watcher or not, who wouldn't know the twist as soon as they started watching that season because its been so freely spoiled for so long

I loved it but I just stopped watching it around season 3. Same with Six Feet Under season 2 which I loved as well. Like you say. Life.

now I have free time again because i have no life now

I think get past the first 5 episodes - it starts quite slow, but if you like it after the 5th episoe then you'll probably like them all.

Do you like anything or are you just eternally bitter at the world for the hands dealt to you?
