I've completely stopped watching. Had a couple episodes sitting on my DVR and realized I was never going to bother with them.

I think there is a difference between continuing to watch something because it may get better later (and besides its not like you have anything better to do) and a show being so bad, so formulaic, so time wasting that the act of watching it numbs your mind and soul.

*shrug* I'm enjoying things. It's not world shatteringly new or ground breaking, but I enjoy what's going on. And someone else said that Skye had powers now or something. I didn't get that vibe from the explanation of her backstory. Sure, something's going on, but not the powers thing. So she's going to be the back ground mystery that they'll have to solve eventually. Could be worse. |

Well, AH has been cleaning its clock but the last two weeks I've got them now at even. AH is getting a bit too warm and fuzzy and MAoS is developing its storyline decently.

I like this show, but let's not get crazy here. AH is ten times better than AoS. |
Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

AH is the better show, but lately MaOS has been the more entertaining. A shame really, because AH has the benefit of c-punk and they're not running with it... it's deteriorated into a simple cop show with a bit of tech. So it'll likely be cancelled (especially since their best writer left) and we'll be left waiting some more for Bladerunner TV.

Whedon, who wrote the outline for the season, has a history of misleads, so we have a ways to go before we know the real Skye story. Combine that with a spy series...
As for AH a d MAoS, the strength of the episodes follow roughly the same path. Early filmed episodes needed to find their way. The difference is that MAoS was shown in order. AH was nearly shown in reverse order.

They don't hate ratings, they hate Sci-Fi. Because science is evil. Fantasy and bullshit Americana they're a-ok with, as you can see from their lack of fucking around with Sleepy Hollow. |

No idea. Maybe the guys who greenlight shows and the guys who set the schedule aren't totally the same group. It's the ones setting the schedule / viewing order trying constantly fucking the shows. |

Okay, good. I thought you all had lost your damn mind. Misssed the thread of convo about AH. Why do we even HAVE individual threads. ISO: Single TV Thread, FT: Madness (On point, I enjoy Almost Human.) |

Regarding AH - I think the change in episode order was an attempt to put the strongest shows up front to build the largest audience - not an attempt at sabotage, just an error (in my book).

What it looks like they did is spread the main storyline episodes apart.

Finally caught up on this after having not watched past episode 3 previously. Watching a bunch of episodes in a short time period is actually my preferred way to watch shows and will typically only watch something on a week to week basis if its something a lot of other people I know watch and discuss (Game of Thrones and Walking Dead both fall into the category for me). I tend to find it helps alleviate pacing issues, including the disappointment you feel when you've waited a whole week for the new episode and it ends up being filler or doesn't advance things much.
In the case of AoS it's still not a great show when being watched this way, or even something I'd be watching if it wasn't Marvel related, but it at least managed to get past the apathy I felt through the first few episodes and appears to actually be moving in a direction.

Now was that so hard MAoS? The best episode of the series, told in a different narrative style and moves along at a good clip. The team is in 'Italy' and shit goes sideways.
This is the type of show I thought MAoS was going to be at the start of the season. Glad I'm sticking with it.
