Then again, I guess it depends on what sort of thing you're into.

Well, I have seen them all, and right up until the point, where our "good-guy vampire" goes in like, jesus-mode and shit, I thought it were pretty good. But all this religion-crap.. I mean, come on.. Religious vampires? No fucking way that shit will hold up. Not with me, anyways...

Based on like three episodes, True Blood is the purest of shit.

I'll counter that with Revolution. //they can do it in one episode.

lol

**Mal** · 12-19-2012, 10:13 PM

Oh yeah, I remember someone trying to convince me Revolution was good. Even their best description of it was horrid.

It's all subjective but, I like Revolution. It's not the best series I've ever seen, but definitely doesn't deserve to be lumped in with shows like True Blood.

Re-watched firefly this past week. Doesn't make sense how such an amazing show like that gets 14 episodes and a movie. That's what good tv should be like. Perfect cast, awesome plot, great dialogue. Such a shame..

Edit: Anybody watch Castle? Is that any good?

kael03 · 12-20-2012, 01:36 AM

I watch Castle and enjoy it very much. As for Firefly, it held a lot of promise. But it was expensive to produce and joss and fox couldn't make concessions on a few things, so joss would force them to do what he wanted. So, fox sabotaged the show.

OG · 12-20-2012, 11:50 AM

i also watch castle, up to the latest so ya i like it lol

Didn't Fox already sabotage it prior to that by airing all the episodes out of order, or is that why they did that?

kael03 · 12-20-2012, 10:12 PM

Thats why they started airing episodes out of order. They didn't want the actual pilot to air first because they wanted viewers to see a show with a happy protagonist. Mal, in the pilot, wasn't as jolly as they originally wanted.

I'm planning to watch it really soon. I've heard some hype about it. Really just from you and my uncle- and from some other random websites, but still you two in general have tastes in the same ballpark as my own (being really general here, but it still means something), so I'm hyped for it. I also have the Sopranos on my list but I'll see if/how I can make time for it, fuckin' college.

True Blood is decent for me. It's not really terrible or great. I think of it like I think of Naruto before the timeskip: Entertaining enough when first reading/watching it. But it'll most likely not get any rereads/rewatches from me (despite the fact that I've reread Naruto before- but that's kind of how I know True Blood's in the same boat). That includes the first season as well. What you described as good is still just "decent" for me. Just finished watching the 5th season. I still feel the same about it (Eric Northman- Viking Vamp is pretty cool, though, gives the show a little bonus).

Also Mal, did you hear about the new season of Arrested Development? = D

You shouldn't watch the Wire for explosive and fast paced story and action. It's a show which is as realistic as they come, so don't judge it from it's first episode and let the plot develop. The characters are amazing. I am sure that, by the end of first season you will be amazed by the quality and by the end of the series you will be like: "best tv show ever".

I dunno, TB's first season had more good things than bad things, so I say it's good, but I am actually in the same boat as you - it's decent. Later, the bad things start overwhelming the good by a huge margin, and thus, the fourth season was horrendous for me. Not that there weren't moronic things happening before, but at least it was entertaining enough at the time.

Haven't watched the Supernatural anime, but I've known about it for awhile. Think I'll watch it once the show stops airing.... so in a few years lol

True Blood is trashy. I don't hate, but I don't love.

Haven't checked out Revolution, but a friend likes it. So I may. I did watch 666 Park Avenue. It was alright. Don't think it's coming back though.
