I realized that we have the what song are you listening to thread, and the what book are you reading now thread, but we seem to have lost the what television show are you watching thread.
I just finished watching the K-drama, Scent of a Woman. I have to say, that the Koreans have their genres seriously messed up. I do not see how you can call it a romantic comedy when the main character is diagnosed with terminal cancer in the first episode and spends the rest of the series preparing for her death. I spent a lot of time in tears, and none in laughter during this one. Another āromantic comedyā had the main characterās mother murdered in a brutal way by the villain.
Iām going to go watch the latest Rurouni Kenshin movie now. Satou Takeru was an excellent choice for the part of Kenshin.
Just finished season one of Agents of Shield a couple weeks ago, waiting on Netflix now for season II.
Sherlock, we parcel out the episodes like rations in a life boat. There arenāt enough to waste binging on them.
Supposedly weāre still watching Burn Notice and Bones, but havenāt watched in ages.
Psyche is in my āTo Watchā pile, but Iām not sure if Iām ready to add another 120+ episode show.
Dr. Who is on the once or twice a month binge list. This one is difficult for my wife, she really likes Tennant and weāre getting close to him leaving. She hated when he showed up too though, so hopefully sheāll warm up to the next guy before heās gone too. And sheās still hung up on Donāt Blink.
And when weāre not watching together lately Iām playing WoT and sheās watching WWII documentaries.
Sprout and I are watching Wakfu, and Iām watching Samurai Champloo, which is kind of fun. I accidentally watched 10 episodes of the wrong series of Full Metal Alchemist, and Iām ticked about that. Iām not sure if Iām going to be able to go back to the place I was and go forward knowing that they arenāt that much farther on a few years later.
edit: And now after doing some simple research I realize why everything seemed so weird and not more advanced. I didnāt realize the two seriesā werenāt sequential. I went from Episode 4 of season 2 of the first one to episode 5 of season 2 of Brotherhood.
The last few episodes of season I my wife almost stopped watching the show. Sheās like why do I want to watch something that makes me mad? I was also sad to see what happened to Wonder Woman. That series doesnāt have a problem making a point or being shocking.
Agreed, Dakboy! And I loved the ending. We just watched the latest episode last nightā¦Iām reserving judgement for now, but Iām not sure I like where the focus seems to be going for the rest of the season (trying not give spoilers here). Not a fan of the character.
Game of Thrones - itās the only must see TV show for me at the moment.
Since I cut the cord a couple of years ago, Iāve had to wait for the seasons to be released on blu-ray. Season 4 was released last month so I caught up on it. HBO is supposedly releasing a standalone streaming service next month, so Iām eagerly looking forward to that.
Mr. TM and I cut cable almost two years ago, so we donāt watch much current TV (NCIS/NOLA, AoS, Castle, and Rizzoli and Isles).
Weāre both big NetFlix users (yay for no bandwith cap!) though. Weāre just finishing Fringe, not having seen it during its original run. Iām watching the new Doctor Who for the first time, and have just got to the start of the Tennant ones. Iām sorry, though, but I think Rose is a whiny little cow, and I really wish Mickey would grow some balls and move on.
Iām also rewatching The West Wing - love me my Aaron Sorkin. And, when I need some lighter fare, Iām watching the old PBS Forensic Files episodes.
Cable, occasionally think about switching to Dish. Weāre too dependent upon certain channels that arenāt available otherwise, and/or I need the barrier to usage to be very low for people who arenāt me.
I grew up with Tom Baker as the Doctor, and Tennant replaced him for me as āmyā Doctor. I liked the fact that you got glimpses of how his history weighed on him.
That said, Iāve liked the styles of those whoāve followed. Smith was quirky, in a good way, and if he hadnāt followed Tenant heād have won me over. Capaldi is growing on me.
I wonāt have any dealings with Apple for anything. Theyāve already committed fraud on my debit card once, Iām not going to give them the chance to do it again.
On an extremely geeky note, over the last 4 years or so Iāve watched every episode of every live action Star Trek series on Amazon Prime. Thatās well over 700 episodes.
It started off with what seemed like a great premise, but they pull so. much. crap in every show I stopped after the second or thrid one.
Load up a show with tech, and science, and pure geekiness, but then do it so poorly it isnāt actually tech anymore, but mouth-breather-from-next-doorās idea of what tech is.
