01.05.11 | and yea don't call me dumb for calling a remake unoriginal... the BSG remake (which V shamelessly rapes, on a continuous basis, over and over again) kicked ass |

01.05.11 | Your first problem is watching it at all ever. |

01.05.11 | What's wrong with it? I saw the shows last season and they weren't bad. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | i know i know but its hard to find serialized television and someone i know had the dvds |

01.05.11 | Never watched it, it looked really stupid to me. The lead woman in it though was really hot in Firefly, now she looks twice as old and pretty unattractive. |

01.05.11 | ya network tv sucks for the most part, save AMC. HBO, Showtime and the like still have the best shows on tv. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | @willie it basically reminds me of watching heroes. in good sci-fi, characters presented with extraordinary situations react in a way that is either (a) extraordinary or (b) relatable.
in V, the characters don't do either of these things, because instead of putting thought into the damn thing, they are all just rip-offs amalgams of the most memorable characters from Lost, BSG, and Terminator 2.
and the plot... holy shit is this stupid. |
Willie
01.05.11 | I missed the finale last year and didn't see the first show (is it on tonight) of this year, so I wasn't in love or anything. What I was bummed about (and is kind of related) was Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles being canceled. Summer Glau was hot in firefly and still hot in that. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | its like how can anybody take her son (the SHAWN from boy meets world pretending to be a pg-13 john
connor) seriously... i swear he is the worst character since mohinder shureshhh |
foreverendeared
01.05.11 | Summer Glau is hot in general. Sarah Connor Chronicles was really terrible though, imo. |

01.05.11 | The original was great when it first aired, although I was very young which made it seem better. Then it ended with a glowing kid who makes all the bad things go away. Gay. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | yea sarah conner chronicles was fucking awesome |
theacademy
01.05.11 | i like to pretend the sarah conner chronicles is the real terminator timeline and ignore the 3rd and 4th movies. |
Willie
01.05.11 | I like to think they all fit in some weird, convoluted, multiple-universe theory kind of way. |
foreverendeared
01.05.11 | I don't see how anyone can enjoy that show. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | what was so bad about it?
i mean, it wasn't AMAZING, and i can see why it would never get like, awards or anything, but it wasn't INSULTING like V or Heroes |
TheStefan
01.05.11 | right now im into LOST.
it's pretty fuckin good |

Spot on, aside from Lost, which was on ABC. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | make sure you stop right before the finale of season 5.
i wish someone gave me that advice when i watched... |
Willie
01.05.11 | --I don't see how anyone can enjoy that show.--
Which one? Sarah Connor Chronicles or V?
Anyway, here are your answers:

V: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3821768192/nm0888882 |

01.05.11 | lol finally had to delete a comment |
acorncheese
01.05.11 | ALL SEASONS OF LOST ARE FUCKING EXCELLENT |
theacademy
01.05.11 | V has such a fucking excellent cast too... totally wasted
1. Morena Baccarin (inara serra)
2. Elizabeth Mitchell (juliet from lost)
3. Scott Wolf (from Party of Five)
4. Morris Chestnut (from all those awesome black movies that came out before Tyler Perry fucked everything up)
5. assorted BSG cameos
6. Alan Tudyk in the Pilot |
foreverendeared
01.05.11 | Yeah Summer Glau is pretty great. I dunno, V I've never seen, but a friend of mine who's opinion I trust said it wasn't that great.
Sarah Connor Chronicles I watched the first few episodes and it just didn't do it for me. |
foreverendeared
01.05.11 | Alan Tudyk was in V?? That's awesome. I might just go download and watch the pilot just for him. One of my favorite tv actors. |
Willie
01.05.11 | SCC had to build over the entire first season. |
Curse.
01.05.11 | Why insult NBC comedies? |
Strider
01.05.11 | 2 is really good. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | hear tudyk might be ant man instead of fillion. i'd be stoked about that, as long as fillion gets cast as nathan drake. |
Willie
01.05.11 | Speaking of him. Does anyone watch Castle? That's not a bad show. |
theacademy
01.05.11 | i feel like i'd watch castle if i had a girlfriend. all my friends with girlfriends love castle. |
Curse.
01.05.11 | I love Slither with Fillion. Then again, I am a professed browncoat |
theacademy
01.05.11 | can't stop the signal. |
Willie
01.05.11 | --i feel like i'd watch castle if i had a girlfriend. all my friends with girlfriends love castle.--
That's the only time I watch it, but it's still good. |
acorncheese
01.05.11 | I'll cry if Fillion doesn't play Nate |
Curse.
01.05.11 | Apparently it is going to be Wahlberg which blows. I like Wahlberg, just not for that whatsoever |
Curse.
01.05.11 | blergh |
acorncheese
01.05.11 | Last I heard Wahlberg confirmed it, but the director had not |

01.06.11 | 1 - Did u get the extended version of up the downstair? Those 5 tracks from the staircase infinities e.p. some of their best material, especially navigator, cloud zero + rainy taxi. |
theacademy
01.06.11 | no sir i did not, but if you endorse it so wholeheartedly i will definitely look into it... i am really digging the LP right now... |
