What is your take on "Almost Human"? Yay or Nay?

(I haven't watched it yet.)

It's actually pretty OK if a little too "networky" to be considered good.

The best parts about it are the cast and the near future tech stuff they incorporate and I (sacrilege,cover your ears) don't even really like sci-fi.
The worst parts are that you've basically seen most everything it has to offer before and mostly better.That and as I sort of implied,cable has raised the bar on entertainment and kid appropriate,conveniently resolved in 42 minute dramas just don't really cut it for me anymore.

In short,there's something there(especially Karl Urban even though he's redoing his Judge Dredd to a large extent ,which isn't entirely a bad thing) but it's vanillaed up to the point of being a lot less appetizing than it could be..

I'll look forward to it then! (Ears covered!) Perhaps an afternoon mini-marathon this weekend. Thanks!

(I have been also spoiled by the cable series especially GoT (favorite!), BWE, Homeland, SoA, Justified, TWD, etc, etc & just seem to fall back in love, as she had me hooked in "The Postman Always Rings Twice" with the multi-talented Jessica Lange in the latest version or reincarnation of AHS: Coven

(I hear she's leaving after this season.) {sigh}

Thanks for sharing absolutely nothing with anyone.

Other than your juvenile attempt to impress I mean.

As for Jessica Lange,I doubt that many who watch AHS have the slightest idea that they are watching one of the most celebrated actors of the last 50 years.
For one brief moment in history she was basically "the" female star in Hollywood.
For the show itself,I'm surprised that you're a masochist to the same extent I am and willing to still watch the campy dredge it has become.

Actually as a whole the series has been anywhere approaching good since 3/4's of the way through the first season.
Season 2 went off on so many pointless tangents and resolved very poorly and with Coven Ryan Murphy has unfortunately let his ghey flag really fly with besides the "camp", not a male character to identify with anywhere to be found.

I think once again someone in Hollywood gets too powerful and then everybody else is afraid to tell them how badly they are fucking up.

Well Said!

I'm in total agreement, (...yet still we watch eh?) with the above statement. Even the first two lines.

('nuff said.)

I forgot to mention "Strike Back" and a few others... another one that this season left me a bit lacking.

I still love that theme song though!

(As i mentioned in some other post somewhere; at least for those that can wait... I find watching it 2 episodes back to back, bringing the current mission to it's inevitable conclusion, but moving along the stories main season "mission" until the season finale.)

(...or like in the vernacular of the "Boardwalk Empire" fans... "You've got more ideas Stehle then "Chalky White" has lives!" I still miss John Porter.. 'nuff said.)

I could have sworn there was a Walking Dead thread.

I would create another one but,well,you know.



Anyway,Sunday,penises members.

[Stehle]

Thanks for the heads up (...or is that heads splattered?) I do get out of touch with the new seasons ahead.

I'll look forward to it this weekend!

(I figure a decent download that night with TD.)

Clearly network TV still doesn't get it.
Watched Resurrection,Believe and Crisis and someone still seems to think that ridiculous convoluted non-sustainable plots, fleshed out by soap operaish side stories and absurdly unrealistic characters ,are going to find any significant fanbases beyond retards and teenage girls.
It hardly helps that all play like watered down versions of previous seen movies.

If nothing else at least have the grace to cast better or minimally,more watchable actors that actually suit the part.
Yeah frail girly 20 something FBI agents put in charge of important stuff,that happens all the time in what world?

[Stehle]

I kind of like Believe (a definite Touch rip off) because sometimes they make me cry.

(Then again perhaps it's just mood thing... or definitely related to my type or level of medication.)
