CVByrne Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Battlestar Gallatica is great until All Along the Watchtower happens. Nah, I liked Season 4. Especially one the best holy shit moments in TV the mid way finale of season 4, and how the crew responds to it in the episodes after that. Probably the highlight of the show that. I also really liked the ending, but I know it was one that might not be to everyones taste. Season 1 and first half of season 2 are the weakest, but that's the same for most big story arc shows.

Am I right in saying that there are pilot episodes before the first season? (seem to remember reading that) and if so, is it important to watch those first?

There was a mini series, which was just over 3 hours long. Also there was Razor and The Plan 2 hour special episodes after season 3 and 4 which don't form part of the narrative. There was also webisodes which were build up to each season and added some extra depth and motive for some events but again aren't key to the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My favourite season of Boardwalk Empire was season 3. Mainly because of Gip Rosetti, who is possibly one of my favourite characters on TV ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I watched the first three episodes of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and didn't find it funny at all. They just seem to shout at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I watched the first three episodes of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and didn't find it funny at all. They just seem to shout at each other.takes some getting used to. It does get better though. Once Danny De Vito turns up it's excellent.

kurtsimonw Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I watched the first three episodes of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and didn't find it funny at all. They just seem to shout at each other. Must admit I've never really been able to get into it either. There's a few popular ones I've just not "got" I suppose. Seinfeld being another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 Seinfeld is brilliant. But the thing about it is, it was the first of its kind. So many sitcoms have used that formula since that, if you watch Seinfeld now, it seems unoriginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Curb your enthusiasm is another example of a comedy that I don't find hilarious but still really enjoy the show because I like the characters but in 'Always Sunny...' they just seem a bit annoying. Although I've seen it mentioned a few times that it gets way better once Danny DeVito joins the cast, so I'll see if I can stick around until then.

Stevo985 Posted August 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 And you get to realise that the characters are meant to be annoying. They're narcissistic arseholes. And they're such terrible people that it becomes funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I found S1 of Community average. S2 was hilarious. S3 is so unwatchable I've given up on it. Just so self-indulgent and unfunny I feel embarrassed watching it. I just finished S2 of Parks and Rec it's followed that same pattern so far so I'm a bit worried about starting S3. That said, Philadelphia started pretty much the same and kept getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The final season is going to be set in 1931 so no more Rothstein which is a shame as I thought he was one of the best characters on the show. that's a shame because they'd already started him on his real life downfall in the last series real life spoiler - he goes on a cold streak and loses a ton of money at a poker game, refuses to pay and gets shot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Unless they're going to feature him in flashbacks or something, I don't how they'd do it. Apparetly it misses out a lot of the stuff that happens to Capone as well. There's a lot they could have done with the show but I guess they didn't want to make too many series, but It's one show where perhaps a spin off series might work.

ender4 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Am I right in saying that there are pilot episodes before the first season? (seem to remember reading that) and if so, is it important to watch those first? It is totally essential. Without the mini-series, you'd feel like you've just jumped in halfway through a season. the other specials in between seasons are not needed at all.

vandaq Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Holy shit that Bojack Horseman was just terrible, can not get into that at all. Some jokes makes me cringe and some are just straight up bad. Don't think I can gve it more than 5 episodes, that was just annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
