“This was amazing because the Mane Six ponies, who are the stars of the show, they go out there because Celestia, who runs Equestria, she will tell Twilight Sparkle she needs to go somewhere, but she doesn’t tell her why. So anyway, suddenly they get captured by them and told that they have to remove their cutie marks and get equal signs. But they said, you know what? No. So Fluttershy, who is my favorite because she kind of talks like Marilyn Monroe, says, ‘Oh, yes.’” (He says this like Marilyn Monroe.) “Fluttershy acts like she wants to become a member, you know? And so they give her the cutie-mark equal-sign stamp and everything. And then she notices something, like it rains, and it washes off Starlight Glimmer’s equal sign, and she’s got her own cutie mark. So she’s like a Jim Jones cult, you know, right?”

Thought Barb would actually be, you know, a character what with all the internet dumbness that surrounded her. But I guess just being in a show for an episode and a half and having lines of dialogue is enough to form a cult around these days.
Sheriff was easily the coolest character. Winona Ryder needed more to do than just be perpetually fraught. Kid actors were pretty good. Young Emmy Rossum (Nancy) had a good arc. I even liked Steve (the guy who played him nailed "teenage douchebag"). Interested in a second season, though I agree that I would like it to be an anthology series rather than follow the same people.

I loved Stranger Things, but I totally get why people were so annoyed by the internet hype machine that it turned them off of it even before they watched it. The same thing happened to me with Bojack Horseman, though I still ended up slogging through the first few episodes of that to get to where I actually did like it, and I really enjoy it.
But the love the internet has for any show that is about depressed people (You're the Worst, Rick and Morty, etc.) annoys me to the point where I'm not sure if the reason I don't like those shows (tried watching both) is that I just don't enjoy them, or if people constantly circle jerking online about how great they are just made me not able to see them fairly.
So I definitely get how Stranger Things had that for a lot of people. The internet is an annoying place where everything is either circle jerked over how perfect it is or treated like it's complete trash.
I feel pretty much the same way. The first season of You're the Worst was pretty fuckin funny too so it's a shame it crawled up its own butt the way it has

Uh was the episode of SNL supposed to air tonight? I saw the promo while I was watching dateline waiting for SNL and now it's playing an old episode with Jennifer Lawrence.
Edit
Guess I'm an idiot because apparently it actually starts soon lol. Dunno what's up with that. I never actually watch these live.
ok I needed some fictional politics, hoping it would make me feel better, so I watched Designated Survivor episode 6 and it kiiiinda worked?
how does this make it on the air? 40 minutes of lego pieces that do not fit together in any way ripped from any number of bad shows and genres does not make a tv show. but it was so terrible in execution, writing and acting that it kind of relieved the anxiety for a moment.
I'll give you the highlight of the episode, maybe this is something you can enjoy atm, FLOTUS to POTUS:
"I'm not angry with the president <pause> I am disappointed in my husband."
I am not kidding you.
Yeah, this show... I never really watched 24, but cultural osmosis has me sitting here reacting like
Why the hell is Jack Bauer acting like such a fuckin' wuss? Like, almost all the time!
I like the idea behind the show, but I'm not sure I actually like the show itself.

Jack Bauer broke down crying sometimes, to be fair. Like, dude was a first rank badass, but you could tell his job fucked him up. It's one of the show's better aspects.

I would agree that I think he's a bit miscast in the role. They should have gone with someone a bit more weedy.

24 was this weird post 9/11 series show where torture solves everything, everyone betrays everyone, nuclear bombs go off all the time, and if it happened more than six episodes ago, it never really happened.

I peaced out in season 2 and people kept telling me to come back. I'm kind of glad I didn't
Maybe there's some context I'm missing but just seeing Glen (or anyone) get hit with a bat and then sit there for over a minute with massive head trauma while the show luxuriates in it is... I can't see what the point is.

I abslutely hated that episode. If every episode were like it, I wouldn't watch.
Thankfully almost every episode isn't like that. It was the same last season with the termites slitting throats over a trough. Hated that episode, really enjoyed the rest of the season.

I definitely don't disagree. I wish I wasn't invested in the show anymore.
That opening episode of this season was boring trash and now they're doing that thing where they've got 3 storylines going and each one takes up a whole episode so it's been 3 episodes since we've even seen Negan and Rick.

that's honestly why i stopped reading the walking dead comics in the first place. any series that seems to exalt in the anguish of its characters for no good reason other than "gritty realism" or whatever is just not something i'm willing to slog through. i've got enough depression in my day-to-day affairs without any edgy writers who's run dry of decent plot ideas making it worse, thank you.
This season of The Walking Dead is really good. The 2nd and 3rd episodes have been very low key, exploring new characters we didn't know much about yet. I get people being mad about main characters getting crushed in ep. 1, but eh, whatever. Rick and his group getting truly broken is a huge part of what comes next.
I've been okay with the up-and-down quality of the Walking Dead up to now, because there were just enough good episodes to offset the bad ones, but this is really looking like the season where I give up on it. Not because of the violence of the premiere, but the show has just hit that point where I don't care about anyone anymore, because they've been through a metric ton of shit and there's nothing but the promise of more in the future.
Especially when I compare it to a show like Westworld, which is on at the same time, and think "which one would I rather watch?" it becomes less of a contest on a weekly basis.

I'd be worried that he was playing an elaborate con to kill someone really. I mean he was a dentist for six months.

The good place has a plush minion to ensure that no-one is tempted to evil, being always able to see its terrifying results.
Why I fear the ocean.

Boo!
Especially in this one!
I also greatly enjoyed the makeover song devolving from "makey wakey bakey cakey lakey...." to "I had a stroke! I had a stroke!"

The only word I can use to describe A Tribe Called Quest's performances last night is the very cliche "electric"
It was goddamned thrilling to watch
why does anyone watch this garbage? Seriously?
who doesn't love a little extreme tedium and terrible writing punctuated with brutal misery
If they didn't have it, what else would they complain about
It really did start off pretty good.
Basically it's maggie, daryl and carol now.
Yeah I tend to watch shows way past their prime, simply because I get invested and can't objectively recognize when a show starts to get shitty.
The Walking Dead is one of the rare cases when I managed to walk away when it got bad.
