Now Rob Lowe and Gina Torres are up on a massive telephone tower trying to rescue a guy who got shot by a crossbow and is bleeding out. The shooter is still shooting crossbow bolts at them.
The only motive given for the shooter was they were trying to stop Covid from spreading.

Just two beefy brothers knocking down a house with their bare hands, not a piece of safety equipment in sight.
When my wife and I were first dating, we watched a lot of that show as it aired
Which says a lot about us, and about our relationship
Anyway you seen the one where they methodically obliterate a car with their bare hands?

Does this get better? So far it's just weird and I can't tell if it's trying to be funny.
By all accounts it does not get better
I watched the first three episodes?
I actually liked the heist episode.
It’s weird, that’s for sure, and I at least appreciate for doing something different. But, I can’t really help but feel they aren’t really Terry Pratchet characters.
My boyfriend is a pretty big Sorkin fan, and for some reason is willing to put up with me yelling non-stop at the TV, so we've started working our way through Studio 60.
Obvious (very, very obvious, and oh so many) problems aside, I am finding it kind of fascinating, because it's much more clearly a biopic than any of his previous ventures. It's basically an on-screen rendering of the Sorkin/Schlamme relationship, with a hefty helping of thinly-disguised West Wing/network conflict-post-mortem. I dunno if I like it as a show, but I'm deeply invested in it as a televised psychotherapy session. (Also I love Timothy Busfield so I'm always happy to see him working).
It also feels incredibly claustrophobic in a way that his earlier shows don't, and I'm really not sure if it's intentional or if it's just the natural result of such intense navel-gazing about something that's fundamentally very trivial.
There is a Very Special Episode of Studio 60 that has to be seen to be believed
I haven't seen this show since its original run, nor thought about it in the past five years, and it still upsets me
Wait. Which one?
Just checked - Episode 15 "The Friday Night Slaughter". And looking at the episode summaries after that apparently that's when I completely stopped watching as nothing after that rings a bell.
In the episode
Matt starts doing drugs and immediately starts having an episode of dissociative amnesia where he cannot remember the name of a former colleague from 1999, but the 'colleague' was really just Matt the whole time
. As someone who has lived with people going through similar situations (both the 'inciting incident' and the resulting aftermath) I felt both insulted and angry at such a stupid fucking portrayal of events.
It was Tom Cruise Talking About Mental Health levels of infuriating to me
I'm happy to wait two more years for it to become Netflix's Peacock's Saved By the Bell
you're right
i should be calling it netflix's youtube red original: cobra kai

I want to clarify that was mostly just me taking an excuse to make a Simpsons joke, and I'm all for content branching out and preventing any one media company from monopolizing everything so I have no real problems with Peacock
But also look let's be honest I'm not gonna watch stuff on Peacock

Disney will own NBC in a couple of years so it’ll probably be on that.
Peacock is technically the first network in American TV history to make a show with an indigenous creator, which also has half of its writers room given over to indigenous writers, and I thus have the solemn and unwelcome duty to Care About Peacock

it's got all of murder she wrote so it's not all bad

Yeah but you have to actually get up and change discs like some kind of cave man. I can just keep laying in bed watching the soothing acting of Peter Falk nail arrogant rich white people to a wall.
It’s really never clear to me in any given Amy Sherman-Palladino project how many of the characters are intentionally written to be horrible. There are occasional flashes of self-awareness
like when the judge sent Rory down for being a privileged little shit
, plus with a lot of her heroines (anti-heroes?) I legit don’t see how you could jam so many insufferable character traits into one human purely by accident. She has to know these people are society’s worst villains, right?
I'm sure you all are right about most everybody being awful in Gilmore Girls but I'm afraid I can't see past Richard and Emily doing about one or two things that would be grounds to cut them out of your life every season and just never suffering consequences for them.

Amy Sherman Palladino hates young people, that’s for sure.

Tonight some stuff went down on Lost.
Just a reminder, folks in this thread are still newbies to the series so please don't spoil the series for them.

I mean, it cost me $12,000 from RadioShack but I think it was a worthwhile investment

Everyone in this show is insufferable. The dialogue is maddening. Rory is complete and utter shit.

Keep watching! Almost everybody gets so much worse.
but it's funny and those cliffhangers keep me watching. i'm 5 episodes in so far
The Good Place is really good!
I thought the premise might get old, but was very impressed how they managed to keep things interesting. I'll probably end up rewatching it soon here.
I made it a few episodes in back in the fall, but it was far too familiar feeling to continue
I hate hate hate the dialogue in gilmore girls, I hate it so much
Amy Sherman Palladino hates young people, that’s for sure.
As should everyone
