  1. Cantatus

    Homeland

    This seems like a natural progression of Dar's character. He's never been completely trustworthy, has no qualms doing whatever it takes, and obviously doesn't mind playing dirty. And since he has the whole intelligence apparatus to his disposal, it makes him one of the most formidable villains...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Yeah, I was wondering if her regret was going to be letting Fitz save them and her thinking she should've done it instead, but the date on the tombstone doesn't line up with that. It shows November, which is closer to when she jumped out of the plane because she had a virus, provided the dates...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'm wondering it this will all hinge on May not killing Katya. As far as we've seen, that's the earliest regret to be changed. If May doesn't kill Katya, she doesn't retire as a field agent. This possibly affects who Fury chooses to oversee Coulson since it was revealed that May's personality...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Considering May is in the Triskelion, the events of The Winter Soldier obviously played out differently as that building was destroyed when a helicarrier crashed into it in the real world. Whether or not that means the Avengers aren't around, I'm not sure. Coulson was involved in finding...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Which is why the Inhumans "movie" is now a two-episode IMAX premiere for the television show. Perlmutter has been insistent on getting the Inhumans on screen and is too impatient to wait for Phase 4 since Spider-Man and Ant-Man 2 pushed it back from Phase 3. I guess this is the best he could...

    Legion

    Ambiguous time periods? Each episode of Fargo listed what year it took place in the intro.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Aside from the Winter Soldier twist and occasional mentions of the Sokovia Accords, I don't think the movie and television universes have been very closely connected as it is. They've talked before about how it's really difficult to have a lot of crossover due to television and movies being...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    They want this to be like Netflix, but it's not remotely comparable at this point. By the time Netflix started releasing original programming, they had millions of subscribers. It was a household name. They also invested a lot of money and hired some huge names. CBS is just banking...

    Santa Clarita Diet

    Coming from the creator of Better Off Ted, I'm a little underwhelmed. It's entertaining enough and watchable, but it's not as good as Netflix's other comedies. It does get better as it goes along (first episode was the weakest so far), but it's mainly carried by its premise more than the...

    Emerald City

    Not the best thing on television by any stretch, but it's different enough that I'm enjoying it so far. I like that they're not just being lazy and relying heavily on all the characters from the 1939 movie and are instead borrowing from the later books. At the very least, the show is leagues...

    Homeland

    You're probably confusing her with the character she played on House of Cards: Heather Dunbar, Frank's opponent in the primaries a couple seasons ago. Basically, not a character too dissimilar from this one, except she actually won.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I'd guess a lot of it has to do with network interference. It's Star Trek, one of the oldest franchises on network television with a huge built-in audience. It's not something they're going to want to take huge risks with since they don't want to screw up what could be a big hit. They're also...

    The OA

    I've heard that any show Netflix develops gets a two season commitment. I don't think they've ever actually come out and said that, but so far it's held true. There's been some shows (like Stranger Things) where Netflix announces a second season before the first even airs. I hope it's true...

    Sense8

    Christmas special is now on Netflix.

    The OA

    I agree. The show was flawed from the start and felt low budget, but the story was enough to draw me in and keep me intrigued. It was one of those shows I had a hard time turning off because I'd want to see where things were going. But, even then, I didn't recommend the show to someone...

    The Expanse

    Right. It's not on Netflix in North America because Amazon has exclusive rights for streaming in that region. That means, should The Expanse be cancelled, it makes it less likely Netflix would be interested in continuing it. If Syfy cancels it after this season, Netflix could do a third...

    The Expanse

    The first season of Expanse is being added to Amazon Prime on the 14th, so hopefully that will give it some more exposure. The potential downside of this, however, is that depending on how long Amazon has exclusive rights could dissuade Netflix from picking up the show if Syfy drops it (see...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Welp, my interest went from excited to mildly optimistic to I'll wait and see... Really sounds like creative differences between him and CBS, and I had a lot more faith in Fuller delivering a good show than CBS.

    Emerald City

    Tarsem Signh's involvement is enough to pique my curiosity enough to give it a try, and the trailer certainly makes it apparent it's his show. The fact that it's getting stuck on Friday makes me hopeful it'll get some leniency in how dark it can be since that's when Hannibal was on. They did...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Sounds like their way of piggy-backing off the success of the movies which isn't terribly stupid. The Marvel movies don't have to try very hard to be massive successes while the shows on ABC have never had the best ratings. I imagine they're hoping people will see this as yet another Marvel...

    That would be an even better way of bringing Hunter and Bobbi back.

    Gotham

    Yeah, glad they didn't wimp out and walk that back since she and Jim are supposed to end up together. She's become far more interesting and tolerable as a villain than when she was a mopey nag. I do have to wonder how much of this is a creative decision and how much of it has to do with the...

    Altered Carbon

    It's a shame they aren't bold enough to follow the book closely to the point where it'd mean few characters are played by a single, permanent actor due to changing sleeves.

    Halt and Catch Fire

    Last couple episodes have convinced me this is currently the best show AMC is airing. I don't think I've ever seen a show improve so much in such a short time, but it's unfortunate that a weaker first season meant the show hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. At least AMC seems to realize...

    Mr. Robot

    How many people know that Whiterose and Minister Zhang are the same person though? He seems to keep the two pretty very separate. Aside from his assistant, I don't think we've ever seen anyone interact with both. Anytime he's met with Price, it's been as Zhang (including when they were on the...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah, considering he already has another show due out early next year (ie American Gods), I think this will benefit Discovery in that it will give him some time to focus solely on it rather than splitting his time. In fact, I have to wonder if that's not part of the reason production on...

    Mr. Robot

    Yeah, if nothing else, Mr. Robot gives USA some clout. It's the first show they've ever had nominated for a Best Show Emmy (Drama or Comedy), and Remi Malek is the first actor to be nominated since Monk went off the air. It's the same for the Golden Globes. Hell, they've already won twice as...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Considering how this show started, I'm surprised that Nick ended up being the only character really care about. Not that I actively dislike any of the others. They just aren't interesting enough to have any feelings about one way or the other, especially since their storyline isn't any...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    More on the show: First season will also have 13 episodes. Based on what's been revealed about the show so far, Majel Barrett's character certainly seems like a strong possibility of who will be the center of the show. Despite being just a title, it seems odd they'd have a character from the...

    Random TV show thread

    I give Wilmore some credit for not just trying to be Colbert 2.0 and doing his own thing, but he was never versatile enough of a comic to host a show four times a week.

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    She also said Suicide Squad was "great" and "awesome" and doesn't understand why it's getting bad reviews, so she might not be the best judge of what is and is not a mess.
  35. Cantatus

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah, I'm not that well-versed in the Star Trek universe, but my first inclination was that this doesn't sound like a terribly exciting time-period to set the show in. But, maybe the fact that there wasn't a lot going on in this period gives them more freedom to go their own direction rather...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Which is dumb - not because they want to make a Justice League movie, but because they're doing it at the cost of everything else. Yes, Avengers was a great movie... but so were Iron Man, Captain America, etc. And even when they had some of their weaker movies, they didn't just serve as a...

    Ocean's Eight (2018)

    This really isn't a "reboot". It's more a spin-off. Sandra Bullock's character is Danny Ocean's (George Clooney) sister. Decent cast so far. I'm always a sucker for a good heist movie, so hopefully this is at least fun.

    Craig McGregor just replied on Rerolled. THIS IS GREAT

    I like how we're the bad guys because we didn't swear fealty to Craig. He buys the forum without any input or knowledge on the community's side and we're horrible for looking out for ourselves instead of ensuring Craig's impulsive and poorly researched purchase is a success. And Craig is...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Thing is, the more they release mediocre to bad movies, the more apprehensive people are going to become about rushing out opening weekend to see them. DC gets a lot of benefit of the doubt due to the properties they are making, but I think people are going to start to reach a point where they...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    I have to say, the trailers have been one of the best things about SS. I went from having tepid interest in the movie to actually thinking it looked fun enough to see in the theater (and that's not something I do often. Only movie I've gone to the theater for this year is Civil War). But I'm...
