Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
So, AMC is showing the entire Walking Dead series for like the 47th time and I found myself watching the last few episodes of season 1 last night. I was reminded of how much I liked that first season and how everything since hasn't quite measured up. Still like the show (don't love).
Finished up the first season of The Strain. Meh. Was at times decent and at other times quite mediocre. It wrapped up on a high enough note that I'll probably at least start watching the next season - mostly coz it's something that the boy and I are watching together. Lots of flaws though.

Scorpion is so-so, but we'll keep watching for now. Seems to be a lot of discussion about the real Walter O'Brien though.

Found that the first episode of Gracepoint is available for free on Amazon. We watched it last night, and both my wife and I thought it was pretty good. I wanted to watch Broadchurch last year, but now I figure I'll just watch Gracepoint instead, since it sounds like they'll be pretty much the same.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I was pretty excited for this because I really like John Mulaney's stand-up, but also saw bad feedback before I got around to watching the pilot. It's disappointing that a bunch of the jokes are recycled from his stand-up material, though (assuming it lasts long enough) that will presumably work itself out in time. But... gosh, his line delivery is really bad. He's basically doing stand-up instead of acting, is what it sounds like to me. Still, I guess I'll give it at least a few more episodes (assuming Fox does) since Nasim Pedrad is really funny (although the thing about changing her ex's email password seemed poorly thought out since the ex wouldn't be able to get into his own email if she did) and it would be cool to see the "What's New Pussycat" bit acted out rather than told as a story, assuming they choose to recycle that one too and that's the direction they take.

Tyreese gets over his pacifism, Carol still should not be trifled with, and farmer Rick is truly dead. They're reeling me back in.

Yeah, there have been a few lulls, but they've always found a way to up the ante and keep me happy.
So glad we won't be spending 8 episodes in Terminus.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I agree with this. I was dreading a long drawn-out battle with the Terminus people a-la the Governor storyline. I like that badass Rick is back, and I wish he would have gone back and killed off the rest of the Terminus people. Question: did anyone else stay on the channel until after the "next week on The Walking Dead" segment? What was the deal with what's his name walking on the railroad tracks? Was that supposed to be the last scene of this year's episode, hidden behind the scenes from next week? We couldn't figure out how it fit in, this week, or a teaser for next week.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I think it's the last part of this week's and Morgan will be back in some fashion in (a) future episode(s).
At least that's what I took from what they were saying on Talking Dead.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
I thought it was pretty decent. I watched the first two episodes and think I will continue.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Last night was the first Walking Dead I've ever watched on TV. In the past I'd done either Netflix or streaming sites.
1) Holy commercials. Maybe AMC did this with Breaking Bad too since I usually had to watch that online the next day, but the last twenty minutes was basically *three minutes show, two minutes commercial, repeat four times*.
2) Agree with everyone else, very happy we won't be in Terminus. I feared it would be another farm or prison season.
3) Are they finally going to move North? Or go to an island or something?
4) This is more of a thing that requires suspension of disbelief, but how are they going to eat? Even all canned and preprocessed foods are probably bad by now, and they definitely don't have a sanctuary to start farming again. I guess I'll just have to file this one under the same category of "who's been mowing the grass?"

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Yeah the commercials really kill it. We've gotten in the habit of recording it and waiting half an hour after start to begin watching.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Watched the first episode of The Affair. Recorded from earlier. It was different, and I think we might watch a few more to see where it goes. I am curious about what happened, to get to where they are now, but I don't know if I'm curious enough to last the entire season, or longer. The actual storyline of a guy and girl having an affair really doesn't interest me, it is the way that they are telling the story that might real me in. At this point, it is completely up-in-the-air.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
The pilot of "The Flash" was OK. The main character is irritating but several of the support cast (second banana, coy love interest, gravelly father figure, ambiguous benefactor/evil genius) are cast well.
Good lord, though, the Marvel (edit: DC, see correction above) universe is predictable. What Joss Whedon does on an off day, Marvel does as a business model: every general arc and almost every detail is stereotyped, focus-tested, and safe. Comic book shows are the new soap operas -- you do nothing to subvert the audience expectation and you win by sheer inertia. It's a lethargic genre, which is sad since the whole motivation of the original medium was strangeness and originality.
Batman Muppet Babies continues to get better, with the Penguin especially a strong character with good writing. It would be nice to kill off Bruce Wayne, though. Just sayin'.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
Fair enough. I meant "Marvel" as a generic synonym for the entire industry, like "Kotex." But corrected below.
Honest question: among fans, what's the difference? Is it philosophical / aesthetic? It is Disney vs Pixar?
