Cosmos was pretty spectacular

 

What is cosmos?

Basically, they did a good job fooling you and it didn't meet the demands of what you wanted it to be? I thought it was brilliant in that regard.

 

So Pizzollato specifically says the purpose was not to fool people, but it is great because it did a great job fooling people.

 

It had a show packed with weird allusions to a grand conspiracy, and how do they resolve it in an hour?

Hey house is green! Green ears! Done.

you know whats funny,

I always thought the green ears was the ear muffs the guy was wearing when he was mowing the lawn. I thought that made a lot more sense than accidentally painted ears

someone posted a picture on reddit of green noise cancelling headphones. when they started talking about green ears, my mind immediately went to that.

What is cosmos?

 

A documentary series that explores how we discovered the laws of nature and found our coordinates in space and time.

A lot of those "allusions to a grand conspiracy" were viewers projecting what they wanted the story to be. I got into it too, but it turns out, it was just a love story between 2 men with a serial killer subplot. I thought it was hilarious. The audience got trolled.

We're a week behind on The Walking Dead. I just sat through 30 minutes of Rick hiding under a bed from characters we've never met before.

 

If my wife didn't want to watch this, I'd have dropped it already. Instead, I will just continue to complain about the badness.

 

Like the fake red hair on the guy from Band of Brothers and Southland. WTF is that. It's like he used a Crayola marker to color it.

Those guys come into play two episodes later. The filler episode you will watch next week kind of builds into the following episode. The season appears to be trying to build up characters and relationships and create a new game plan to extend the series.

 

The draw of the series is down a little but I still find it entertaining.

How does it compare to say The Universe or Through the Wormhole?

On a show as bad as that, it's hard for me to care about hair coloring

I've surprised myself, I've really grown to like Mickey's character on Shameless this year. Noel Fisher steals every scene he's in, unless Kevin is also in it. Then they're co-winners.

No it wasn't. It was explicitly in the show that those schools were being used to find and exploit the children, and that there was a "a place down south where a bunch of Rich Men get some good killin"...

 

He threw the gasoline on the fire. I'm not talking about the Hbuntu actual supernatural theories, but there was too much to the broader scheme of the murders that basically just got resolved by saying "Wellp".

I don't think they are trying to figure out ways to extend the series. They are roughly around issue 60 of the comics if you tried to place where they are now in the timeline. And for reference, they just released issue 122.

Lip's sudden sense of self-righteousness is getting a little annoying, too.

 

With Frank down for the count (for the moment), and Fiona bottoming out....show still struggling to find a cornerstone to build around again.

The Breaking Bad Mythbusters was pretty good

 

It was funny that both the bath tub and the explosive scene failed pretty miserably, but even funnier when they asked Vince Gilligan about it, and he claimed "artistic license"

Mickey has gone from my least favorite to favorite character. So much better when Ian isn't around. I didn't watch the last episode but I hope it stats that way.

Holy crap was HIMYM awful last night. I'm so happy there is only 3 episodes left.

All that mattered to Marty and Rust was that they got their guy as was stated in the finale. Its a bit of a cop out, but whatever.

Both wanted to make amends for not following up their investigation after the 1995 "shootout" at the meth lab

. I think that this case took quite a toll on both of their lives so its understandable if they just walk away, after all they are no longer state detectives.

I am so ready for it to be done.

I can safely say I'll kick the tires on this one.

That show is so........wait for it................................horrible. I tried watching it this season, and couldn't take it. It apparently had to be halfway decent previously or it never would have lasted. It definitely lasted at least one season too long.

The first three years or so were as good of a comedy as there was on TV. The last few years have been awful.

Limping home like one of my all time favorites, Dexter. It gets so ridiculous at the end, you don't feel bad it's going off the air.

Agreed. Dexter was great for about two seasons. After that, meh. The ending? Blah.

Ive stopped watching, its painful. The "mother" is annoying as all hell, I want to punch her in the face.
