Nice! I need to go this route

Finished Daredevil last night. Badass show....even though they're taking some liberties killing characters that shouldn't not be there. Interesting premise and I dug it. Into where they're gonna take this.

That. I just use regular VGA connection for pc streaming as most of the sources for my shows are not exactly "HD quality"

River Monsters
Any show that has to do with aliens, ufo's...

Watched Residue on Netflix. Only 3 episodes in length for some reason but i'm enjoying it A LOT.

Forgot about this thread for a minute. Anyone watch Wayward Pines last week? Was actually pretty damn good. Unless Matt Dillon turns out to be dead. In which case I retract my previous statement.

Forgot about this show coming out. Wanted to see. How many episodes are they into it?

This week is episode 2 I believe. Good setup so far.

A few -

Louie

Big Time in Hollywood, FL - had some funny bits - and Madsen!(for a minute)

The Comedians - it may have some potential.

Man Seeking Woman - was alright, here and there.

The Last Man on Earth - some funny shit in there but I am kinda a sucker for MacGruber

Better Call Saul - was kinda slow, but whatever I'll be there next season

True Detective - looking foward to the new season. Vaughn and Farrell - Hmmm... maybe

Silicon Valley - good in parts

Workaholics - some classic stuff at times.

Love some Key and Peele once and awhile

And anything F1

Got through Vera, moved onto Broadchurch.

Tennant delivers as expected.

Watched 6 episodes of Fortitude. Awesome show. Highly recommended.

Also, Residue. Only 3 episodes in length (more of an extended pilot) and it has wiener boy in the post above in it.

Watched the first six episodes of season 5 of Game of Thrones. Depressing. And not in an entirely entertaining way. Jon's the only one with a story that means fuck-all to me at this point, and something tells me that ain't gonna last.

Y MY SHOWS FAIL ME?

it gets better with this last one man. i was starting to get a little bummed too. perfect balance of still building but having some crazy shit happen.

Oh, so its just like the books then? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Everyone is getting trolled and its great!

We started watching Fringe since the next season of Arrow isn't on netflix yet. (I know I'm on the cutting edge of what's popular.)

Enjoying it, but not totally hooked yet (maybe 5-6 episodes in?) as in after finishing an episode or 2 I'm nothing thinking "Well, just one more." Fun show though so far.

Watched 2 episodes of AoS with my wife, the one before Avengers 2 and the one after. They just made me happy i've given up watching that utter disaster. I wish it didn't suck.

Only 1 of the storylines is interesting and he never sticks with it for long and you keep wishing it'd go back to the interesting story.

(I didn't care for the books much and don't watch the show. I just enjoy talking crap about it for no good reason. )

that's apparent. i watch and am currently reading the series. im interested in all the storylines...MOST of the time. def not always (read: early and some current dani)

RE: Fringe
How do you feel about Walter? If you love him as much I did after only a few episodes then keep watching. If not then stop. It is one of my favorite series and the other characters eventually catch up to Walter levels of awesome. As a bonus the series finale is actually satisfying.

did anyone finish better call saul? how did that turn out?

As Yarbicus said, its a decent trilogy. I only made it one book past the first 3 and....yeah that was enough.

More power to those who enjoy it though.

Yarb, I love Walter's character. He's great! And I certainly wouldn't write it off after just a few episodes. It has the feel of a show getting its footing, which is totally is, so I'm interested to see where it all goes.

Walter's inability to remember Astrid's name is hilarious. "Asterisk"

Dude... where you been? http://www.guitarampboard.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=20130&hilit=saul#p394927

Careful with that. Loads o' spoilers in there.

Great start to what looks to be an awesome prequel series. Very Breaking Bad'ish...

I always thought he said Asterix.

Be prepared that the show will turn into Cringe for a while because of one really bad plot device.

Oh no......I hate that. Is it something one can just power through pretty easily though?
