I'm sure all of you are aware by now of what a good show The Americans is,
But I just started binging it and I want to have this show's secret Soviet spy babies
I'd say its the best show currently airing on television.
It might actually be
I can't say for sure since I'm only in the middle of season 3
But gatdamn

Rumer Willis is on Lip Synch Battle and dammit all if she doesn't look like someone took Demi Moore's face and Bruce Willis' face and put it through a computer program to simulate what their child might look like.
Oh wow. My first time able to see Syfy in a while and I see that not only does 12 Monkeys have a 3rd season that's going to air, but it's going to all air over the course of the 3-day weekend this weekend from Friday through Sunday. Never seen that kind of thing before.
It's also already been renewed for a 4th (and final) season for next year
Update this season/these 3 nights have been really good!
Jennifer continues to steal the show with every scene she's in
I flipped out when James Callis (Gaius Baltar from BSG) guest starred for tonight's final 3 episodes
This show is now starting to give me a huge amount of anxiety. Man I can't wait till they end this. I honestly don't know if what they're building to is horrible or brilliant.

Gosh that episode was devastating. The feeling I got when it faded to black is still sticking with me after waking up the next morning
I started watching "The Keepers" on Netflix this afternoon.
It has me piqued in a similar way to "Making a Murderer" but this time around my stomach is really in knots. It's such awfully distressing subject matter.

OK... I want to like Downward Dog because the premise is amazing buuuut
The dialog written for the dog is fucking atrocious and I hate it.
I really hope the show doesn't end with everyone just dying one by one

I was talking about this a bit in the D&D thread for The Leftovers. There were enough references to how much people liked this show in the TV thread here and over there that I decided to finally try The Leftovers. Less than 2 weeks later I'm completely caught up and wishing I'd spaced it out just a bit more, or started just a bit later, so that I wouldn't be stuck waiting on these last couple episodes like everyone else. That said, HOLY SHIT this show. The first season was intriguing and enjoyable enough to keep me going. Seasons 2 and 3, though, are a mix of pathos and humor that I don't know if I've ever seen done so well before. All throughout it does a fine job of going in directions you don't see coming. The music choices are fucking fantastic, be they licensed or scored. I've had some great laughs at times, but even more so this show has produced some of the most depressing moments of television that I've ever sat through while wanting to see more.
And the most recent episode, that I just caught up on? Made my eyes water. More than once.
I really wish I didn't have to wait now to finish it up, but thank you to anyone and everyone who talked about how much they were enjoying the final season in other threads.
Ketar on

I have no idea what The Leftovers is about.
I presume some people have been left?

Not really? 2% of the world's population spontaneously disappeared at the same instant on October 14th. Nobody knows how or why. There are no commonalities that remotely explain it. Many of them were horrible people, so the Rapture aspect seems unlikely. That said, I believe from the beginning the makers of the show made it clear they would never explain the disappearance. The show's not about that, it's about the aftermath.
The show picks up 3 years later, and is about how such an event would affect the people who didn't disappear. And it is much, much better than I expected after my initial dismissal upon hearing the premise.

That's still millions of unsolved instant disappearances

The premise seems solid, yeah.
The title is what's suspect here.

Yeah. And it's not like the show follows people unaffected by the Great Departure.
"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!
One of the characters on the Leftovers is a priest (or minister or pastor I've never been the church and will never know the difference to my great shame) who goes around with flyers of people who disappeared, airing all their dirty laundry, to prove that it wasn't the Rapture, because a lot of these people were assholes
He is...unpopular
And probably the best character on the show

It's very simple: a priest is allowed to drink, but not to marry. A pastor is allowed to marry, but not to drink. A minister is not allowed to do either, but gets all the casseroles he wants.

For Catholics, a pastor is what you call the head priest at a particular church
So that's a pastor that can't marry

Yeah, pastor and minister are both pretty generic and overlapping terms. And I'm not at all sure there are temperance sects that don't allow clerical marriage. But if we both pretend that's not the case, we can all enjoy this awesome joke about the Protestant obsession with potlucks together.

I'm only onto the second episode. So far almost everybody is creepy, unlikable, or both. I'll give a proper update when I finish the season!

Wasn't a fan of the dream sequence, felt like the wrong kind of tonal shift
But other than that it's a perfect hour of TV

Its a rapture show right
You know how sometimes you eat food and there's food, like, remaining?
Well I don't know a good phrase for that, but the show's about that.

This is always true, but is it in response to anything in particular?
potlucks are great though??
B99 maybe?
He's back on B99 this week.
