TV/Movies Megathread

Alien³ is perfect for illustrating the intermediate between the age of practical, Star Wars effects and the age of CGI, Jurassic Park effects.

That said, the recut version is better than the theatrical.  But both are abominations when viewed as a definitive fate of the survivors of LV-426.  Dark Horse did it right.

I certainly hope we're not going to go through this Alien³ bullshit again.

[Neil]

We might.  We've done it before, we'll do it again.

I watched Frozen, it was nice.  I'm ready for Disney next week.

Oh, and the midseason finale will be another big showdown with a long wait during the winter for the spring season to continue  , this show really knows how to keep me hooked.

Guardians of the Galaxy- Despite never having heard of the comic the buzz around this one has been good so I was really looking forward to witnessing the best thing ever.
I was a little dissappointed. I couldn't not be with those expectations.
It was a decent film, though felt a bit too much like I was watching somebody play Ratchett and Clank or the like in parts.
I'm very surprised at the amount of people who die in this film given it is 12a rated and quite solidly aimed at young boys.

The Walking Dead - more filler

The Walking Dead - more filler 

It's called building up tension.

They got us to the point the story was at three episodes ago.   Thats filler.

Because there are multiple threads, and it's not always convenient to wait for the others to be caught up when advancing one of them.

Anyway, I enjoyed it.

I love how Dr. Oz wears his scrubs on the show.  Just in case there's a code blue in the audience over vitamins, stat!  CLEAR *BZZZT*

I was expecting this to be the episode where Carole goes all bad ass on them but instead it was just an explanation for how she got wheeled in.  You dont really need a full episode for that.  Most of it was already understood as happening off camera anyway.

Eh, this group seems better armed and trained than the Terminus folks, she'd be mad to go in alone. Also, considering they'd found their way to the church for reinforcements(How did they know to go there anyway?  )

Yeah, I thought it was going to be that they met the guy that escaped, realized that the hospital group was running a feudal indentured servant type set up and Carole went in to work from the inside while Darryl worked them from the outside.  I suppose that is what is going to happen anyway, only with the whole group coming from the outside.

I am pretty sure Carole and Darryl left the group when they were at the Church.

yes. they did.  Rick was waiting for them, wich is why he didn't left with Eugene.
