Arrow and Agents of Shield finished.

Lesbian al Ghul is like, the best. I saw the Speedy shit comin. I feel like they've gone the opposite way to my expectations with Merlyn and Slade. Shame, because I like Slade better. He went full crazy in his final scene. I also still feel like Roy is a completely random person to decide to invest training in, but whatev.

Agents of Shield should've been about 10 episodes, 5 before and 5 after Winter Soldier. Everything before felt a bit goofy, then stuff suddenly happened. Still a pretty silly show, but the final ~6 episodes were solid. Samuel L in the final ep was amazing. Colbie good too

I watched the Flash trailer. Another goofy comic show for pano to watch. Yay! Serious goof tho

That's what is terrible about network TV in the US. Everything has to be 20-22 episodes.

Maybe I'll watch the end of the season.

They are having another show called Agent Carter that will air when Shield goes off the air for a few weeks in December and January, I think. This is how they should handle series like this, or split it up and have the same people make two shoes.

Like if they made a Star Wars show, I'd rather they make two shows with different storylines of 12 episodes each instead of dragging out one storyline for 24. If we ever get a live action Star Wars show, it will end up on ABC and get the Shield treatment. Let's not do that.

I admit this guy had a lot of right answers. Show might be more promising than I thought.*

*I thought it'd be like Agents of Shield. The show sounds like it has its own point of view. Although I don't know how much I care about Bruce Wayne: The Early Years. Or Catwoman: before she knew she was catwoman.

I've only watched the first episode.

I can't believe the amount of talent they have in the show and the production values! Seems like a lot of money to spend on yet ANOTHER vampire series.

Also is blatantly League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, without actually calling themselves that. Might watch another episode, purely for Timothy Dalton.

I watched the Flash trailer and have to say I'm actually keen to watch the series. I didn't really enjoy Arrow, purely cause I can't stand the lead guy, he's so annoying. But Flash looks ok. Mr Snuggles is pretty excited, Flash is his favourite super-hero from what I can tell. Pffft.

Also getting caught up on Hannibal. Perty good. Wish it wasn't on NBC. Why does NBC make a good show just to torture me? Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

So, I've started (read: up to season 3) watching The Clone Wars. Did anyone dibs Chuchi? If not, dibs Chuchi.

(I also now understand references regarding Embo. Only 3 years late to the party.)

I know of no Ambo. Perhaps you're thinking of a certain badass Embo, the darling of many a vs. thread on the swtor boards (see: Embo vs Starkiller, Embo vs Kyp Durron, and for good measure Coleman Trebor vs Dooku).

I saw Days of Future Past and I can't say I thought it was a fantastic movie. Quicksilver was far and away the best thing in this movie. Portal girl was pretty good too.

I tried watching Penny Dreadful and Fargo but ugh; neither of them put up particularly interesting pilots. I might give Penny another shot because of Dalton's beard, but I don't know if I can handle token gay Frankenstein and a plot centered around more fucking vampires. I feel like its League of Extraordinary Gentleman 2 right down to James Bond being an African explorer.

Bilbo Baggins is a shit actor. It's a damned shame he's in everything these days.

It's Rust Cohles for sure. I thought the hound probably had the best showing this season in got, though.
