Re: TV Shows
Why did Halt and Catch Fire get renewed for a second season? More AppleFapping? The first season was okay but I can't see how it moves forward from here unless it spins completely off like Fargo/True Detective with a whole new scenario and characters. Maybe following Joe MacMillian up the mountain and seeing where that leads, but I don't see how it continues at Cardiff.

Re: TV Shows
Watched first 3 episodes of Blacklist last night. We're hooked. Total suspension of disbelief is required but we watch Under the Dome so that's not tough.

Re: TV Shows
started watching season 5 of Dr Who on Netflix. It starts with the 11th doctor and Steven Moffat (Sherlock) takes over as the shows producer and writer. As much as I enjoyed the earlier episodes, the first 5 have been amazing. It's been pretty dark and creepy.

Re: TV Shows
I never got into Dr. Who because I don't understand where to find a good jumping in point. It's been going on forever and I feel like I'd be lost if I just started watching in the middle.

Re: TV Shows
you can start with the 11th doctor (season 5 - 2010) streaming on netflix. It's where Moffat took over as the showrunner and it's basically a reboot with the new dr. It would catch you up fastest to the current run. From what I've read, he does a pretty good job at filling you in on a few things that's needed, but because of the reboot, most of it is new going forward. I've watched some from the first 4 (after 2005) seasons and my new plan is to continue on from Season 5 until I catch up and then revisit the previous 4 seasons. Last night we watched an episode that apparently introduced a "villian' from a previous season, but we didn't miss anything by not watching that.dodint wrote:I never got into Dr. Who because I don't understand where to find a good jumping in point.

If you really want to, you can watch the 2 part finale from the 4th season that ends the 10th dr and introduces the 11th, but from watching the first 5 ep in season 5, it's not necessary.

Re: TV Shows
Interesting, thanks. I'd ask my sister who is a huge Dr. Who junkie but I don't think I'd get quite as concise an answer. She painted her kitchen blue and her cabinets black because of Dr. Who, or something.
Also, she's having a ***** of a time selling her house.

Re: TV Shows
it's essentially the same character (doctor- a time lord) who reincarnates into a different body, so the entire storyline is continues, but it also is a good chance to reboot going forward. My wife actually had nightmares last night from the weeping angels episode we watched. Moffats style so far in season 5 has been awesome, it's been really well put together.

2005 to current. I don't think 60s through 80s are.

Re: TV Shows
Binge-watching The Walking Dead now. Most of the characters don't do much for me, but it's very entertaining.

2005- 9th Dr (1 season)
2008-10 10th Dr (3 seasons)
2010-13 - 11th Dr (3 seasons)
Dec 2013 - 12th Dr (going on now BBC America Saturdays 9PM)
everything that I have read said start with season 5 (11th Dr-reboot for newcomers) and catch up to current. If you still like it after that, go back to season 1 (9th Dr) and fill in up to Season 5.

Re: TV Shows
I think the criticisms of TWD are largely overwrought. I have only watched it on the Netflix and waiting for the end of the month for Season 4 to pop up on the que.Gaucho wrote:Binge-watching The Walking Dead now. Most of the characters don't do much for me, but it's very entertaining.

Re: TV Shows
OK, I watched half of the 2005 season of Dr. Who. Per the conversation above, I will probably move up to the fifth season.
The season I'm watch is OK, but it's a lot more campy than I expected.

Re: TV Shows
it's definitely different than most things I've seen before. I thought season 5 had a more serious tone to it, but the comedy is definitely still there. I can't really attest to the 10th dr seasons as I've mainly watched the 1st and 5th, but I think as the show got more popular so did the production. Looking back at the first, this appears to be the case with the 5th season by a large amount. I love Sherlock and you can definitely see the similarities between the 2 production wise.
