Shows That Make You Geek Out

[Linds]

Yep. Kinda saw it coming, lol. Gonna be fun.

Supernatural spoilers *Highlight to read*

I knew something was coming but I didn't figure out he was going to come back as a Demon until when Crowley was talking to him. Then I flashed back to him saying that Cain was a Demon and that's why it didn't kill him and I went "HE WASN'T A DEMON AT THE START!"

I do want to see how this works though. Because it seems to me that to become a demon you go to Hell, get the humanity tortured out of you for decades and then when you are nothing but evil you come back as a demon. He bypassed that, and did so by being willing to die to not become that. So I'm curious if he's a Demon Demon or just a Demon....if that makes sense?

I was also glad Sam got to see what it feels like. He's been such a jerk.

Yeahhhh Laurel is starting to annoy me more now. XD Episode 3 of season 2.

Ok so I'm on episode 21 of season 1 of arrow and I really like it now! But netflixs does not have season 2.

I'm waiting for NetFlix to get it as well. I watched season one and really got into it, but can't stand watching TV on my computer (I tried to do season 2 that way), so I'm just waiting on it.

I need to catch up on Supernatural as well. I have the last 4 episodes recorded but haven't actually watched them yet.

Someone on this forum is responsible for me wasting the last few days of my life with Beverly Hills, 90210, so I need to finish that season first

 

[Laurelin]

I ended up just buying season 2 from amazon. I'm watching it through my PS3 on my tv.

Orange Is The New Black Season 2 in 5 days, anyone? I am far too excited and will be watching the whole thing in one sitting, I know that!

 

[Dagwall]

Very excited for Orange is the new Black. I'll be in PA for a barn hunt weekend so I won't be able to marathon it right away but I plan to watch all of season 2 pretty quickly.

Yessss. I have to work that day, and I have a dog-related dinner to attend...but I intend on marathoning it too. Possibly twice that weekend if it is good.

 

[Greenmagick]

Yep cant wait for Orange is the New Black!!!

I recently found Netflix has Bitten and am almost done with it. Its based off one of my favorite books so was super excited and super worried about being able to see it. I am trying SOOOO hard to not compare every little thing but ****, they changed the MC base personality so much its hard to really get into it :/

 

[Fran27]

Excited for Orange is the New Black too, but sadly it will come out just one day before my mom comes visit, and I don't think I'm comfortable watching that show with her! So I'll have to wait a week to see most of it. Bummer.

I'm super excited about this!

I have too many shows I either just started or that I'm in the middle of watching... but I only have an hour or two a day to watch them!

We started Big Love on Amazon Prime, and we're in the middle of Game of Thrones. I need to figure out how to fit in Orange is the New Black now.

I love being able to sit down and binge watch series.

I love being able to sit down and binge watch series.

Enjoy it while you can, lol.

Seriously, the worst feeling is finishing a series this way then having to wait every week for a new episode once you catch up... Just sucks.

I also really liked the series Bitten is based off of, and I gave watching it a shot, but I just couldn't get past the first few episodes. Beyond the main character being sooo annoyingly different, I felt like all the acting was pretty terrible and it was also just overly cheesy.

How far into it are you? I couldn't seem to stick it out to see if it got any better.

I watched the whole first season....it got worse :/ Changed some VERY major things that again, yes, tv shows and movies do that BUT these are ones that change the central relationship between the characters. I tried really hard to just enjoy it for it, and yeah, likely will watch the next season anyways lol..but so annoying. The wolves...really? SO poorly done

Elena is such a freaking awesome character in the books IMO. She is conflicted in Bitten, but its not because of other people, she is very honest about it being about her fighting herself. She is a bit dark, she is strong, she is fighting her past but not stuck in it. The show makes it so much a "love triangle" situation with her being wishy washy and whiny and ugh!!!

 

[Linds]

I tried Bitten too, I liked the premise but I couldn't get into the show. I agree with you, the main girl was just SO annoyingly and that's without me reading the series. Just didn't think her acting was good and oh my god her annoying angst and whininess. I wanted to slap her.

Oh! And the wolves? The graphics were just awful.

Haha! I always feel sad when I finish a series or get caught up and have to wait.

Worse? Haha ok I guess I won't be finishing it, then The wolves were AWFUL, truly awful, that was upsetting. And Elena was sooo annoying. Even little things like in the book she is a total tomboy, wears no makeup, hair in a pony tail, and outdoorsy clothes, and then in the show she is in high heels ALL the time and completely made up, that bothered me. Too bad, cause the story is captivating and it could have been a good show if it was done right.

There is going to be a second season?

It's so sad what they did to her character In the books she is super awesome, not at all like that. The whole series is really good, it could have been an awesome ongoing show.

Like I said, I haven't read the books. BUT, that annoyed me too! Because they made a big point about talking about how she doesn't like shopping, or dressing up or anything but then she was in like crazy nice, expensive clothes all the time with expensive fancy shoes.

I actually paused it after they made the point in talking about how she hated shopping to rant about how there is no way someone dresses like that and doesn't care about clothes.

Well I think they were trying to go for the idea that Elena was living two different lives at the time, her true self and her fake perfect with Phillip who she thought she should be...BUT they didnt get it. They shouldve had her back in regular clothes as soon as she was back at Stonehaven.

I mean I know its hard because in the book there is a LOT of inner dialogue that lets us know who she is (I reread the book while watching the show because I was so pissed at how she was coming across and I wanted to remember the real Elena lol). Like when she and Phillip go out to dinner after she returns from Stonehaven the first time and she keeps stopping herself from making snarky comments about people around them because she doesnt know what Phillip would think or if she should do that etc... that is a great example to me of the actual struggle...its very clear in the book she is not IN love with Phillip, just wants to be.

In the show...well hell, spoiler alert if anyone actually tried to finish it lol...after he proposed and olson and santos break in, when Elena comes back in the show she tells him she wouldve said yes, she loved him etc...in the book yeah, not at all what happens.

Canadian tv...small budget, we take what we can get

New episodes of Orange is the New Black are really good so far. Though I probably should have refreshed myself with the end of season one last week or something. I was confused as hell watching the first episode because I couldn't remember exactly how season one ended. Of course the episode was meant to be a bit disorienting I think. Add in not seeing any episodes since a few weeks after season one first aired last year and it's very confusing. Can't wait to finish the season .
