TV/Movies Megathread

The Walking Dead's problem is that they are doing the Hershel's Farm storyline in more episodes than the comic used issues.

I don't know about the comic, but it sure is way too slow moving.  The barn was a nice touch, I didn't expect that until I saw the girl running. But it should have happened last week.

Seeing news that "Community" is off of NBC's midseason schedule.

Yet they're keeping "Whitney"?

That whole episode the old guy who owns the farm was acting a bit too off in a horror movie "I'm hiding something nasty" way.  I kind of did guess it would be something like having his zombie wife kept as a pet somewhere or the like.


With the Walking Dead I really feel they're on a tight budget and trying to do some sort of cheap and easy "a bunch of characters in the woods" piece against a backdrop of the occasional zombie incident. Kind of masquerading something cheap, a little few character drama as something expensive like a zombie apocolypse.
Sort of like the 70s BBC show Survivors.

Or any other 1970's or many 80's sci fi shows.

War of the Worlds: Goliath

In 1899, the Earth was attacked by ruthless invaders from the planet Mars. The Martian's 80 ft tall, heat-ray spewing, Tripod battle machines laid waste to the planet, but the invaders ultimately fell prey to Earth's tiny bacteria.

Fifteen years later, Man has rebuilt his shattered world, in large part by utilizing captured Martian technology. Equipped with giant, steam-powered Tripod battle machines, the international rapid reaction force, A.R.E.S., is Mankind's first line of defense against the return of the rapacious Martian invaders. Based in a massive fortress complex at the south end of Manhattan Island, the young warriors of A.R.E.S. train under the leadership of Secretary of War, Theodore Roosevelt, and the grim General Kushnirov.

And return the Martians do. The rematch finds the multinational squad of the A.R.E.S. battle Tripod "Goliath" on the front-lines of a vicious interplanetary offensive when the Martian invaders launch their second invasion using even more advanced alien technology. In the crucible of combat, this young team helming the mighty Goliath will be tested to the limits of their endurance and courage as they fight for Mankind's very survival under the onslaught of an implacable enemy.

This is the saga of "War of the Worlds: Goliath", a 95-minute, animated, steampunk epic of war, comradeship and courage under fire.

Terra Nova tonight.

It is hyped as a 'big' episode, with lots of action and hard choices.  It better delivers or I'm done with this show.

Damn you!! Damn you too hell!! This comment of yours made me watch this turkey again.

Animals - no brachosaurs or sailfish during the relevant period. Brachiosaurs are Jurassic (60My earlier) and Sailfish are Tertiary (30My later).

crappy plot, crappy story, crappy characters I can't wait til this gets cancelled so I can stop being so annoyed about how crap it is. And the Spinosaurus bit I read about... the fucking Spinosuarus is a fish eating (yes big fish) late Cretaceous (20My later) North African dinosaur.

the Martian invaders launch their second invasion using even more advanced alien technology

Like what, using kinetic weapons that no human could possibly defend against and which they clearly, by dint of interplanetary spaceflight, have the ability to easily deploy, and that they should have used the first time?

Wait, why the fuck do they want to come back to Planet Disease in the first place?

This show is dumb.  War of the Worlds fan-fiction is dumb.  Well, Killraven was maybe okay.

They've probably spent the last 15 years developing antibiotics.

Gahh. H.G. Wells *and* Teddy Roosevelt are rolling in their graves.

Even before I reached the end I guessed something that daft had to be animated.
But oddly not Japanese.
The machines and stuff look rather cool but the characters, ugh.

[Darth Wagtaros]

I agree with him. Tyr is right.

Even Adam Baldwin can't fix this.

[Neil]

Tripod war machines are incorrect.

[Josephus]

Watched the most recent ep. of Walking Dead. Refuse to accept that they didn't hear the zombies in the barn up to this point.

[Habbaku]

You refuse to believe that zombies that have no outside stimulus will be silent rather than just randomly make noise?
