D3ads Posted November 1, 2012 Report Posted November 1, 2012 SH: Revelation, complete crap.. see relevant thread. Also watched Homeland S2 episode 4... Holy shit, that ending.. I was on the edge of my seat and then the credits rolled... Son of a bitch..! I have no idea what's going to happen now the main cat's out of the bag... Walking Dead Season S2 Episode 1/2 Holy shit we're off to a good start! They're really not holding back on the violence on this one lol I didn't get why Rick started to kill some of the other prisoners after the psychopath was offed, he was clearly unhinged but the other one who ran wasn't that bad? I wonder what will happen with the two he's left alive... Fucking FX's next week preview showed Merle coming back, twats! We knew it was coming but it's still kinda ridiculous how out of all the places he could turn up, he appears in the same location as Rick's group... Quote
D3ads Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 and WD episode 3 Knew that the Governor was going to be a bad guy, why else would the likes of Merle tolerate him? Speaking of which, how cool is his new hand replacement?..! I don't get why they had to kill those soldiers, I mean they could have used them as extra protection for Woodbury. Kind of unrealistic how they managed to kill them all without taking any causalties, the minute the Governor had pulled his gun out, they would have been able to drop him or at least get a few shots off before going down... Pity Michonne had to kill her zombie pets, they were very cool Hopefully she'll get replacements... Quote

The world has gone to hell and you could use all the help you can get. Especially the help of trained soldiers. On the other hand, I understand it because why would the soldiers be obedient? They would surely follow the chain of command. It's the same with Rick's gang and the prisoners. You can't trust anyone. Regardless of the reasoning, seeing as how the episode ends, it's pretty clear that the Gov has some serious mental issues. Edited November 3, 2012 by SpronyvanJohnson Quote

Regardless of the reasoning, seeing as how the episode ends, it's pretty clear that the Gov has some serious mental issues. To the mind of the audience it's a really fucking retarded decision. An organized military platoon can be one hell of an ally. But, as you say, the Governor is fucked up in the head. Basically, what I think, is that he sees the town as is his "little kingdom" and he doesn't want anything to change that. I mean it's possible that the military would go to town with the fact that they are a government agency and try to start calling the shots. Also, this way, there's more drama. Sprony 1 Quote
Thrik Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Started watching the last season of Fringe, which like Lost was planned to be the final and conclusive season. This really is a great show if you can get through the lack of momentum in the first series, after which it breaks into an increasingly epic arc that escalates to apocalyptic proportions and manages to avoid becoming the dragged-out mess than Lost unfortunately devolved into. Highly recommend watching from the beginning to any sci-fi (horror) fan. Skjalg 1 Quote

Theres 2 seasons on netflix, I guess I should start watching it.. Quote
Algor Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Watched this last night without really knowing anything about it. It felt like a couple of Hollywood dudes throwing some fun ideas around and exploring the horror genre. I might compare it to Shaun of the Dead, a comedy with a horror wrapper (although the marketing may pitch it the other way around). Fun, tense, and a bit unpredictable. Some janky CG but otherwise I think it was one of the more unique horror films I have seen in a long time. Quote

Theres 2 seasons on netflix, I guess I should start watching it.. I would. Season 1 kind of played it safe by only hinting at the absolute craziness the writers had planned (albeit still important for understanding what comes later), and by season 5 it's an almost unrecognisable show in comparison. It's impossible to elaborate without major spoilers, but... fuck yes, endure season 1's slowness and you'll be rewarded. Quote
Sprony Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 Ahh crap, sorry man! I'll make it clear from now on >_< Feel bad now! Missed your reply. Don't worry about it. Besides, thanks to you I've order The Walking Dead Compendium now so I've would have known either way Quote
Skjalg Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I'm at episode 3 now, and I'm starting to remember why I quit this series in the first place. So far it's all about this mysterious Pattern and they brought out this weird old scientist from an institution who happens to have a gadget of some kind to solve all their problems every episode. Heres a quick break down of each episode so far (I sincerely hope this Pattern changes.. haha get it?) FBI Lady "oh my god something terrible has happened" Old Scientist "thats quite alright, in 1974 I invented this machine that fixed it" Scientist Boy "Thats crazy, it will never work" FBI Lady "lets do it" Later on.. FBI Lady "it worked!, we're all saved" Edited November 4, 2012 by Skjalg Quote
D3ads Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Just finished Homeland Episode 5... This storyline about Al-Qaeda working on an attack against the US with Hezbollah because Israel bombed Iran is pretty stupid, there is some debate that the two groups have worked together in the past but no actual proof exists. Even if it did, I doubt Al-Qaeda would give a stuff about Iran, certainly not enough to put their resources into taking revenge, not to mention the militants that targetted shi'ites in Iraq's clusterfuck insurgency... /rant Anyway the tension between Brody and Carrie here was brilliant, I'm still not sure whether or not she is just playing him to get the answers she wants or if she actually does have feelings for him, either way it's all pretty messed up. Meanwhile Dana and the vice president's kid ran over a random woman in the street.. so she's either dead and they have to live with the guilt or she survived and the investigation will lead back to them and the VP will likely try to cover it up, only Brody may find out from his daughter and use it as a weapon...

e-freak Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 wreck it ralph. soooo damn good! Quote
Thrik Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Haha, yeah it does Sklalg. The first season is particularly formulaic because each episode is essentially a standalone story with a weak allusion to some wider conspiracy we're prickteased about, pretty much the same as the X-Files. In a way this is good as it introduces a premise for what comes later, but it's also terrible because it kills peoples' interest in the series stone dead. What makes Fringe so good IMO is the fact that it actually delivers on the crazy world-changing shit that most series hint at but never actually let happen — and then the show continues in the aftermath. The writers admitted they played it safe with season one because they weren't sure they'd get the further seasons needed to properly introduce their arc and bring it to its fairly epic proportions, so I guess that's why the first one is relatively sucky. I dunno, not saying you'll love it as much as me, but what I will say is that I've not come across many people who've stuck with it and not grown to think it's one of the best series ever, and there's a reason why it's survived for five seasons.

Sprony Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Episode 4 of The Walking Dead is intense. This is nothing like the second season. They really upped the ante. Quote
