Chisoxfn Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 08:33 AM) Grimm is a surprisingly good show. I way behind on it (I think I have about 6 on my DVR), but I've enjoyed every episode. The reformed Big Bad Wolf that helps out is great. Always good comic relief. Yep. I think I started watching about 8 episodes ago. This past week I got caught up (went through like 5 episodes in a week) and I'm offiically hooked. This is the 1st season, correct?

IlliniKrush Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 08:23 AM) Mad Men has really, really hit it's groove. Poor Sally grew up really quick. Last night might have been the tipping point for me with "The Killing". It's apparent they are just planning on introducing more and more bs and more and more characters that have had zero weight on the show thus far, while also pointing to different characters as the killer and building up huge evidence as to why it was said character before squashing it again. I think it's pretty clear the killer is going to come out of nowhere, and I feel like everything I've watched leading up to each moment is of zero consequence, because they seem to just be throwing darts at the mystery dartboard. I feel like this season has been interesting, and I will continue to watch because no use stopping now. But I feel like so much stuff in season 1 is completely irrelevant now, I almost can't remember any of it, and I don't think I need to do so. There's so many characters now it's ridiculous. Hopefully when it's solved we can piece stuff back together and the show will turn up genius. But I know there's no guarantee that happens, I'm just hoping.

I really thought they were going to kill off Lloyd 2 episodes ago (I haven't seen last night's yet), and it pretty much wouldn't have surprised me after they killed off the other marshall who's name is escaping me right now.

Soxbadger Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This is the first season of Grimm, it is a pretty solid show. Monroe isnt supposed to be THE big bad wolf, he just is a Blutbad (there is actually an episode with the "3 little pigs".) who is reformed (Wieder Blutbaden). Good show.

The show is just a showcase of various events in these characters' lives. There's really not a plot like Breaking Bad or Lost or something like that. In fact, that's what is so amazing about the writing of the show - you have absolutely no idea what's coming week to week. None. And yet you still want to tune in to see what happens next.

I feel like you could have showed me a minute summary of season 1, and I would have been good going into season 2. It just seems like a lot of time wasted, because every week is something COMPLETELY different. Again, I'm still watching because it has been interesting.

farmteam Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) As far as The Killing, I was sort of half watching, half playing on my phone, but it looked to me like they were circling back to characters that were introduced in the beginning of season 1 - the indian chief that runs the casino, the Twilight-looking ex-boyfriend, etc. And who didn't see Mitch getting robbed coming from a mile away? Dumb. Her whole storyline this season makes zero sense. Did anyone catch the name of the father? Is that someone already in the show? They are. I don't think Jasper's dad was involved last year, though. And has the chief (the one who showed up at the Ames house) been on before? Also, I didn't recognize who was watching them through the window in the last scene, did you? The dad's name is "David Rainer" and I don't think we've seen that name before.

Jasper's dad was definitely in it last year, because I called that he killed Rosie Larson. Apparently, the show no longer cares about answering who did it, but I thought it was him forever ago. I can't wait for them to solve it with some character we haven't even met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Parks & Rec at its worst is better than any sitcom on TV. I fear COMMUNITY is getting too gimmicky. The Law and Order show was good but wish it would go back to its roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear COMMUNITY is getting too gimmicky. The Law and Order show was good but wish it would go back to its roots. OMG, no. No, no, no. The last episode was the worst episode since the very beginning of the series and damn near unwatchable. It was The Office after Jim and Pam got married and the whole show centered around Michael doing something stupid (1000 times over). There wasn't a single funny part - not moronic Paul Rudd (I get this is fiction, but they can't very well start off with him saying how much he wants to win the election to prove to his father that he's not worthless, and then have him ignore basic social rules like telling Leslie she really knocked it out of the park with her speech in front of the entire audience), not Andy using physical comedy for the millionth time (again, the whole idea of no money Andy/April hosting a "high dollar" donor party was dumb...if Leslie was such a meticulous planner why on earth would that happen?), not Ron doing something manly (without any funny lines in the process...the one above was ok, but nothing great. I liked the cone of meat quote from last week more), and not Ann/Chris talking for the 50th time about how they should maybe get back together. It sucks, because I love this show, but it's fallen into a rut and unless they change up something big time - like new characters - this show is lost. I don't watch it, but everyone tells me that Community is great because it doesn't stick to the typical routine. It innovates and changes to bring a fresh perspective while still being funny. This exact episode of Parks and Rec has been done about 15 times already. Edited May 1, 2012 by Jenksismybitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on Community as it was becoming too extreme in terms of its characters. Still funny but it was turning into the Always Sunny style of becoming too unbelievable (though I love that show still). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
