Really? The black man took the white man's gun away and burned his flag? Really?
The laws of physics changed, remember!
 Yeah, Stupid Girl made me want to throw something at my 46" last night, and then I remembered it's a 46" LED...I might want to watch other non-suck shows.  Like I said earlier, you can slant sci-fi shows to the hardcore or to the layman. I think we have a pretty good idea now which way they're going with this. Not that a sample of one is any good, but I'd say my husband is a pretty good representative of the layman and he thinks the show is pretty damn stupid. At least if you're going to slant it towards the layman, could you at least use some form of logic? I don't even care if your science is made up using magic hand waving, at least have the basic facts right (like the whole traveling part). |

I can forgive the "travel to Pontiac" parts. I cannot forgive the utterly non-Illinois forests that they are hiking through. I've spent a lot of time in the woods in Northern and Central Illinois. That's not how it looks.

Now now, this is 15 years down the line after the power's been disappeared. I'm sure the forests around here would magically morph into something more resembling not-Illinois.
Actually, the amount of greenery growth is about the most believable part of the whole show, IMO.

I just didn't realize that we had forests that were like 85% pine trees. Oh, and loads of swampy pond bits.
I do agree that the "HOLY SHIT PLANT GROWTH" bit is pretty decent. It's also nice to see that all of those Civil War reenactment buffs finally found a more practical use for their period field tents. Apparently, once the power and physics went away, every lootable REI retail outlet disappeared too.

Forget REI, what kind of warlord is this guy if he's sleeping in a field instead of back in Uncle Idiot's hotel and single malt repository in Chicago?

Along with the laws of physics being changed in mysterious and unfathomable ways, so too did the laws of common sense.

Tehee, keep posting about this trainwreck of a show.
I have no intention of watching it but I enjoy your dissing of it.

Eh, this part makes sense. Hes the kind of warlord that leads with his army rather than sitting back and getting drunk while some other general runs around with it. You know, like an actual warlord. Guy who sits back and lets a general run around with the entire army finds the general coming back to chat with troops more loyal to him than the warlord. He wants to be Caesar (which is exactly what they are going for since they are all half dresses like fricken legionaries). Not sure why I'm even bothering to protect this. The show is so bad. Though I will admit to being mildly curious as to the background story they write for how the government and military fell apart and formed the world we have here. |

Hes the kind of warlord that leads with his army Actually the Monroe Republic seems like a pretty benign world. I'll certainly take it over the Holnists from The Postman or the bleak horror of The Road. Actually, that little suburb is surviving and producing enough food after tithing to Monroe for Google Guy to be rocking the fat nerd look? It's probably better than half the countries on the earth right now. |

So yes, obviously his leadership style works.  |

You'd think people would at least pick up some scooters. Break into any Target and head for the kid's section. Which of course, will be next to the rows of bikes.

Ok, so the second episode was sitting there on my DVR daring me to watch it. So against my better judgement, I hit play....
Seriously, I made it less than two minutes in before I stopped it, deleted it and took it off my DVR forever and ever.

So last night I watched the first one and it wasn't very good. This morning I was going to peek at the second, but as I hit play, the connection went down and stayed down until just a short while ago. HOURS!!! I won't make that mistake again! My new little laptop has a very sensitive soul.

I'm only watching one new show this year (Last Resort, which isn't terrible but it's just ok). I was going to check this one out but then I read this thread.
On the up side, I saw the first episode of Sherlock, which piqued my interest. And I finally figured out how to get youtube on my roku.

There's a new youtube for roku? I thought the only one was available only if you were grandfathered

No, there isn't a new youtube app. It's a clunky workaround. You have to use Plex. (And you have to install Plex on a pc in order to use it so you can add stuff to your plex queue to watch). I expect this to go away at some point but it works for now. |

Ah ok, we're lucky, we have the old old youtube app. They forced its removal from the store, but they allowed us to be grandfathered in, but as time goes on, it gets more and more wonky.

Do i have to be the first one to say something good about this show? I just watched a few episodes and as much as i DESPISE the stupid chic they chose as the main character i actually like that they are moving the story/mystery along rather than dragging it out for years. If that dumb bitch and her brother died horribly this might be one of the best shows around.

Sooo...if anyone's been following the current season...
- We found out how and why the power got turned off
- We might just get the power back on for the season 2 finale next week.

I was almost ready to give up on this show by the second episode but I'm glad I stuck thru the first season. It's not a great show but it got alot better than it was at the start.

Don't. Get Orphan Black or Defiance or pretty much anything else that's ever been aired on TV.

Show got a lot better after it's midpoint hiatus. It's actually pretty watchable once they got into what was actually going on and what they did. |

The number of BBC shows I actually enjoy can be counted on one hand.
I will not give an ounce of my time to Defiance.
Either way, it's not actually going to be given any attention. It'll be behind a window making noise while I do actual shit on the computer.
