I haven't even watched it because I am so tired of the Zombie trend.



AMC has a new show premiering on April 3rd called "The Killing". Its a whodunnit murder mystery show.

Well that sounds cool :)

Cancel the walking dead, make the killing be good, bring back rubicon. :)

Zach Galifianakis is guest starring in an HBO pilot starring Brody Stevens, a very weird comic I can't help but love.

I have very high hopes for this considering how funny it was the last time they worked together: The Brody Stevens Interview Challenge.

I got a 3rd failed delivery notice today from UPS. I think it was Mad Men season 4 Blu-ray.


Hopefully they didn't IMMEDIATELY send it on its way back (like they usually do) so I might have a hope of getting it from them on Monday.

[nothingxs]

can someone PLEASE explain the appeal of the office to me

US Office? It's a soap opera billed as a sitcom

Watched the killing last night. Seems alright. Don't like the main detective lady and I'm not looking forward to having to put up with her every episode. Also not fond of the "teenage underground world of sass, drugs, and crime, and sass". Probably wouldn't have pegged it as an AMC show if I didn't already know.

[TXTSWORD]

liked the office because it reminded me of being in college. Everyone I went to school with were hilarious sub humans. Every day I was amazed by how fucking weird everyone was. Then I'd have like one or two normal friends and we would just revel in how ridiculous our ollege experience was. It would be like if akon, the anime convention, WAS your school. Every day. For four years.

Well this puts me in an awkward position. I can already tell you I'll like the original better. However, I want to be a good judge of this AMC remake. So, I want to wait until i've seen the entire remake before watching the likely-superior original. But that could be like... a long time from now. man.

[TXTSWORD]

Twin Peaks for a new generation? No, idiot. A murder mystery about a dead girl =/= twin peaks. That said, if they start throwing in awesome occult shit I'll eat my words.

[Ebrey]

[Ronk]

guys i just started watching Delocated last week or so

i think the premise is hilarious and some parts kind of remind me of arrested development in a weird way and i think the main character's total dickish character is pretty funny.

I watched The Killing the other day. It was fine, nothing to keep me from watching the whole thing. A pilot is a pilot, so hopefully the "real" has a few more things to show me.


But, if they could greenlight this show, I wonder why we couldn't get a slightly re-worked second season of Rubicon. Because dudes it was mostly good and The Killing wishes it could be Rubicon lite.

[Loki Laufeyson]

downloaded season 2 of married with children, and i am loving it. also downloaded season one of urban gothic and i am loving that.

currently airing shows i try to keep up with:

Never read the books but Game of Thrones seems to be pretty confident tv and fun in a trashy/soapy way

Forbrydelsen is great, I started watching Season 2 last weekend. Lund is the best new tv detective I've seen this century. I doubt I'll watch the remake though.
Still working through Dexter, which I like mainly because I don't have to actually watch the screen to enjoy it.

[Toptube]

Episode 4 of The Killing finally shows us what this show is all about.

I like it, its solid.


Its not great, yet. but I like the sum enough and what seems to be the main story arc is actually pretty interesting now Episode 4.

The writing though is a little too safe, it doesn't give the actors a lot of room. But, they are able to do enough that by episode 4 I like them. The main girl (Detective Linden) is very different. She's pretty cold most of the time. I don't mean evil, I mean kind of dead. She gives the impression that she's inside her head a lot. But with her family, she comes out a bit. Detective Holder is great. He doesn't get quite enough lines, but every time he's on screen I enjoy it.

I'd like to see a just a little bit more of the police side of things. I barely feel like they are police detectives. Their boss may as well not even exist and so far the police department building has basically just been a place to hold suspects. It just doesn't all fit together. Particularly after the first episode, where we see a comradery moment between Detective Linden and the department, as if they have this long running working history. But there has been no sign of that since.

[TXTSWORD]

ehh I can't really come to like the lady detective. I like the dude detective thoooo.

I dunno how much I care about the political shit, like even if it ties back in an interesting way it's still a huge part of the show that I just don't care about. Not that they could take it out or anything, I mean this is a remake showwww. Also, there's a lot of emotiony parenty grievey stuff that makes me pretty uncomfortable and not in a way I'll come to appreciate. Just in a I-don't-want-to-watch-this-stuff way. Finally, the character I had picked as my suspect they ended up casting suspicion on at the end of the episode. So. It's definitely not him. My new bet is girl detective's boss. Sort of a deadly premonition thing, he loves her and that's why he keeps trying to drag her into this case... that's why he killed that girl. He knew she would be emotionally connected and he could make her stay. I would be satisfied if that were the reveal. If it's not true of this one, maybe it's true of forbrydelsen :)

[Toptube]

[TXTSWORD]

Haha me too, honestly, I was just like "Hey maybe I should pick someone to be a suspect. Uhhh how bout dread locks teacher guy. He seems creepy."

But FINE don't like my ending :C I apologize in advance for when I'm right B)

[Faithless]

Hey, you guys should watch Drew Carey's Improv-a-Ganza on GSN. It's the cast of Whose Line is it Anyway, minus Wayne, but plus me. I'm only in four episodes for the first run -- one a week -- because of the difficulty scheduling between SNL and this show. But I'll hopefully be in more episodes next season, which films next summer.

Oh hey there minor celebrity! Please tell the television to uncancel rubicon and cancel all the bad shows like everything that's popular :)

You can do that, right?

Anyways, I'll check drew carey thing out since you're doing me this favor.

[Faithless]

TXTSWORD, I'll talk to my people.

Damn, and people say that I can't do anything good sitting on a forum. Just logged on, sittin here in a blanket with some lunch... fixed tv. This power. I just... :twisted:

[Martial Loh]

Heather, I can't load that site..is it because I'm in the UK? Boo-urns!

People watching the Killing - I read that with the original they hadn't finished writing the story when they began filming, so even the actors didn't know who the killer was up till the end. Oh the suspense. But feel free to post spoilers when its done. I'd be interested to hear who the killer is in the remake.

[elvis.shrugged]

Thanks for the link, Heather! I was looking forward to watching that show, but Cablevision decided to pull GSN from their lineup just before it started airing.

I like the Killing a better when it's just hanging out with its cast and not trying to be an overplotted murder mystery. Also, I'm thankful we seem to be done with the high school for now- those kids all felt like uncanny valley robot versions of high schoolers.

Game of Thrones feels like a pretty faithful adaptation of the books, which is fine. I'm all for that nasty brutish version of fantasy entering the public consciousness.
