    The Americans

    I enjoyed the season but I agree that they shouldn't have dragged out the Paige angle for the entire run; the consistent lulls in the story devoted to that tug of war each episode was unnecessary. But that said, when they finally got going I did enjoy it quite a bit; the meeting with...

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Just once would I like a superhero show where the dialogue and general writing don't make me laugh incredulously every few minutes when I'm not being bored to death by irrelevant, predictable side characters. Comic books can get away with the way they are written because you can go through a...

    Yeah that was pretty funny... hold my hair tight now!

    [manga] Everything Else

    Well Bamstartsto go Gohan. La de da. The filler is real. The most interesting thing to happen this chapter was that dumb girl finally getting to the top of a staircase.

    Dark Matter

    Asian guy with a katana ? Big black guy ? Hispanic girl ? Grizzled Captain/first officer sort ? Assertive looking woman ? Sensible, science officer looking lady ? The pretty boy ? I'm not so hot on the initial premise of everyone(?) being a memory deprived killing machine (as per the...

    Vikings

    Am I alone in not liking this siege episode? I know that the Vikings were supposed to have a big Valhalla fetish but the number of times these people have disdained any sort of armor and abandoned their shields is intolerable to me; their commanders at the very least would have had something...

    Bloodline

    This would have been better as a two part movie IMO instead of a 12 hour dragging out of a somewhat thin plot stuffed with repetitive flashbacks and "Ohh Mysterious Foreshadowing" (waves hands in face). I enjoyed it for what it was but by the end I felt no interest for any of the cast and was...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    If you are looking for a news source that has done a pretty good job with this and other important issues then giveDemocracy Now!a look. You can say whatever you want about their political leanings (they have them just like every outlet) but I've found that they do a pretty great job of being...

    [manga] Everything Else

    I just wish that their confrontation had happened while I still cared about the issue. It felt like the story had moved on... until it hadn't. I hope that something decisive happens next chapter at least. Also: The Idol chick... slowest stair climb ever?

    Peter V. Brett

    Agreed. According to Goodreads: "The first three novels in New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett?sgroundbreaking Demon Cycle series?The Warded Man, The Desert Spear, and The Daylight War?set a new standard for heroic fantasy." I would be interested in perusing the demographic...

    Archer

    Tried what? I didn't suggest anything. All I said was I am tired of how they are doing things. Last season was complete shit because they tried to one up themselves on the goofball nonsense scale while adopting an inferior show premise. If I had any suggestion it would be for more moments...

    The Americans

    Obviously they need the at home drama to reinforce the sleeper agent aspect of the story and to provide opportunities for the cast to question their commitment to this war. What I find tiresome is the writers need to repeatedly underscore the conflict over the daughter nearly every episode this...

    Archer

    I'm getting tired of Archer always being a retard on and off of missions now. That and the entire cast doing their obligatory trademark shticks on cue. I know its a comedy and all but you can only do something so often and in the same ways before it stops being funny.

    The Americans

    Each season has its quota of filler that is usually centered around repetitive family drama which is unfortunate. The rest of the time the show is pretty entertaining and has some fairly exciting climactic moments like the end of last season. The tug of war over Paige this season has been...

    Please add Adam Sandler to the thread title to spare more poor souls the trauma of watching that video... the pain... it burns!

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I wish at this point that he hadn't inserted magic into the story or at least not nonsense like defying death and upsetting the foundations of the world because some eggs hatched. Cat, Stannis, Euron, Valon, Samwell and his future in Oldtown, Red Priests, Danny's cryptic prophesies... and...

    [manga] Everything Else

    I've never read the manga, maybe they had the sense god gave a gnat and cut most of that crap out. I was referring to the web novel which the manga is based on:Mushoku Tensei - Baka-Tsukiif you were curious. Admittedly he never actually does anything to most of the girls in the story but every...

    [manga] Everything Else

    They are really nothing alike apart from the rather tired reincarnation angle, additionally tensei suffers from having a main character that is often irritating and also a pedophile. Fans of the series like to explain it away that it's okay because the gross bastard is possessing a child's body...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I would like Sanderson to write a series that doesn't become a super hero story in the end as I think he could do a great job if he tried it. I loved the setting and world building in Way of Kings but I would really enjoy a novel from him where the characters don't end up flying through the sky...

    The november War

    It's a documentary of the personal suffering a group of soldiers experienced during the battle and the impact it had on their lives since. I thought it would cover a broader subject when I went into and would have preferred that but for anyone curious about the effects of combat related trauma...

    The Americans has been pretty good so far this season when they aren't focusing on the dispute over the daughter which is getting pretty repetitive.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    That was the thing that always pissed me off about SoE and EQ; they never reinvested anything back into the game despite how much money it made them over the years, they were content to just milk the product without giving anything back. There were so many ideas and design paths freely...

    Our World - Built by the Rerolled community

    Am I witnessing the birth of the next second life? At any rate it is a fun idea and if you can manage to provide the tools that everyone will need to contribute something then you should attract a bunch of hobbyists if you go looking for them.

    [manga] Everything Else

    The Gamer is good at first until you realize that there is no plot beyond "I have game like abilities aren't I awesome?". There is no story beyond grinding and having him explain at length the most basic game concepts every other chapter while supporting characters get jealous and make...

    Gladiator fights coming to TV and such soon?

    Having watched some of their demos I have zero interest in ever seeing anything like this again as they seem to have completely missed the point of fighting exhibitions completely; yes they are demonstrations of skill and physical prowess but just as important is the sense of danger and...

    Darkest Dungeon

    I've been playing this game for a couple of days now and have been enjoying myself for the most part but once my guys get to level 3-4 the grind has really started to become apparent because of the lack of dungeon/mob variety, stats/skills/perks, and meaningful loot. There are only so many...

    Darkest Dungeon

    I've been watching this on Twitch and I'm not liking how your party members commentary effectively pauses the game every time that they babble on about something which is quite frequent. I'm also not digging the stress mechanic as it currently stands as that seems to be the primary source of...

    Inside Out (2015)

    I really wish that Pixar had managed to stay free of Disney's clutches. I used to be thrilled every time they announced a new work in progress but the last few have been so forgettable that it feels more and more like they are producing what the toy division tells them to these days.

    Marco Polo

    This was a good popcorn series filled with petty intrigue and overly choreographed fight sequences that are one step away from having actors flying through the sky. It could have been so much more if the writing and budget had been there though. Those complaints aside I still watched it all...

    South Park

    There was way too much of an emphasis on cartman this episode and he was never funny in that role. Then they wasted the ending on pewdiepie who also wasn't entertaining in the least... it's like they brought him on in the end just to kiss his ass or something. They should have at the least...

    Europa Universalis IV

    The early colonization game depends on easy access to nearby uncolonized lands so pretty much any nation that is close to North Africa/Atlantic will have first dibs for a very long time. For everyone else if you want colonies its easier to just steal them from Portugal and Spain via war.

    The Walking Dead

    Did anyone else notice how Dawn's pistol was holstered and her arms were at her sides right before Beth stabbed her and yet immediately afterwards the gun is in her hands, pointed at Beth's skull and boom... fastest gun in the West right there. That had me cracking up on top of how random that...

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth (Nov 4th)

    I wish that there was more new to this supposedly new version of Isaac. Aside from the engine it feels more like a mod that added rectangular rooms, cosmetics, mob tweaks, and some items. Is there an entirely new series of floors at least? Something besides heaven/hell/chest?

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    That's mainly for the benefit of those expecting a King Killer part 2 1/2 or something. I found myself enjoying this novella quite a bit and by the end of it I had a smile on my face. His warning at the beginning was helpful if a also a bit over blown; it is not a standard story as there is...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Yeah... we have mastered interstellar and possibly inter dimensional travel (gates) and yet we cannot visit outer space, span a chasm or even build a rudimentary tunnel. They should have themed the game around a group of marooned castoffs or escaped prisoners; at least then it would be somewhat...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Well I just played my first game of this on whatever hard setting was called this time and it was a snooze as far as challenge goes. The gameplay was engaging enough as like in Civ there is usually something to build or look at most of the time but I never felt compelled to do anything in...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    After having watched a few hours of gameplay I feel like I have already played this game to death; if you are bored of Civ V and were hoping for something refreshing to mix it up then look elsewhere. It felt like I was watching a Civ V game with blander AI's, large insects, drab looking terrain...
