What TV series are you watching?

[Who Really Cares?]

This weeks Walking Dead was ok but please no more episodes without Rick in them please.

This weeks South Park was solid.

Parks and Rec. Never seen the show before. Just thought might as well watch on netflix since people won't shut up about it. Just hope it's not another office. Hated that show

Okay, Blue. I'm really only typing this to you. I just started Deep Space 9 for the first time in my life. Now, I've only watched the pilot, and the next episode, but I've seen enough to judge the first season.

Impressions:

1. I feel like I'm on a well-deserved vacation, after watching The Next Generation. I still love the Enterprise-D, I'd still rather serve under Captain Picard, etc., but the idea of a space station is actually rather nice and relaxing. That's not to say it's not dramatically exciting, but the whole Promenade, with the saloon, the doctor, the constable, the shops, etc. is really fantastic.

2. The architecture is really awesome. I have only just begun to really appreciate the late 80's, early 90's neo-deco design of the Enterprise-D. All the shapes and lighting are pure high 20th century futura. The Captain's ready room, the blue light strips on the ceiling, the checkered textures... It's all basically deco and nouveau. The exterior is even reminiscent of the Chrysler Building (Aztec pattern) mixed with an earlier art nouveau (organic) shape, and the colors inside are all art nouveau. You get the idea. Well, DS9 continues with this tradition in a most excellent way. Commander Sisko's office door is a masterpiece. The whole station is designed to look like a darker, more art deco, setting than the Enterprise-D, something the Enterprise-E would replicate later on. Anyhow, it captures that 90's nostalgia for high 20th century noirish cosmopolitanism that defined so many shows from that time, that only now, with some distance, we can look back and distinguish as a separate style, just as the original series was thoroughly 60's. It's so thick in the first season, I half expect to see red brick somewhere on the set, and then it will turn into an episode of Early Edition. You get what I mean, right? The new uniforms, the hair, warm colors, the sets, the Cardassian computers, sunset baseball on the holodeck, everybody's got a wise old man to look up to, and there's still good in the world. It's all quite well defined 1990's 20th century nostalgia, probably because the new century was fast approaching, all taking place approximately 35 seconds before the whole world turned into unshaven cynical thick-rimmed hipsters in Q heaven. Yes, I refer to the world Apple has made since 1999.

And I liked females better when they didn't all straighten or cut off their hair. Everyone looks... younger and... happier.

UNlike many shows. DS9 just keeps getting better and better the more you watch and when the series finishes it's the best trekgasm ever

TNG is my fave series of all time. However I believe DS9 is the greatest show ever put on TV.

After weeks of postponing it, decided to watch some Walking Dead this quiet night.

Two episodes in and I like it alot already! Though i'm prepared to be disappointed for Season 2.

[Bluecast]

I'm in love with Star Trek DS9 and TNG.

Voyager is ok at times and at times fun. Also could get really fucking awful. Enterprise was meh first two seasons and shit the 3rd and amazing the 4th. Thank god the B & B regime is over.

Berman firing Ron Jones was the straw that broke the KiBa's back.

Manny Coto was great but came in too late to save the USS Titanic NCC DEAD.

At Season 2 Episode 5 in Walking Dead.

The biggest problem with this show is that the characters don't even get interesting until mid-way this season. NOW they talk about interesting things and have interesting things happen to them that have nothing to do with zombies, which makes me care about them a little more. Before, they were basically indistinguishable despite the group being mixed up with different races and genders. When they dwindled in numbers, I didn't notice a difference.

I find it funny when people say the second season kinda sucks, I think it's fine so far. I mean, it could be better but the same can be said with season one. While still entertaining, its definitely weaker than Game of Thrones, Newsroom, and Breaking Bad. Those shows have more interesting characters and situations happen since at LEAST the second episode of the first season.
