We'll try to be more prudent Ses dear fellow.
Now who the fuck DARES say anything about Star Wars! I WANT NAMES DAMMIT!
(writes names down from thread. Expands plans for portable gulag)
Thanks MG! It is a good idea to avoid politics, Religion and Chaplin. I would be fine in attacking the Star Wars prequels.

There are no prequels. There were only ever three films. And Han shot first. *sticks fingers in ears* lalalalala.....
Everybody should avoid religion. It would make the world a happier place.

I think that we should definitely have a virtual gulag, where the Major gives counselling, but always the worst advice possible! Should be entertaining! I'm going to start an argument with Sheldon; Star Wars is Fantasy, only. (Definition of Science Fiction>Fiction based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets.) No one can convince me that anything portrayed in that film will ever happen. Star Trek is Science Fiction.

True Detective. I heard all these people praising this show and I tried to watch it. The acting was good but I found the script to be so over done. I do like this parody though.
Oh wow, oh wow, what an adventure.

I hear "Hannibal" is very good. Only a few people watch it (~ 2.5 million on average), so I'd call the show underrated. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I like Hannibal. I recommend it. Very nicely filmed, and I think Mads Mikkelsen is just as good as Anthony Hopkins, but different. WATCH IT.
On the subject of underrated shows, I've found Andy Richter Controls The Universe, which was cancelled after one season but has a cult following. I've seen one episode halfway through, but it looks promising. Anyone seen it?

My well-meaning (actually that's a lie) friends occasionally think stupid things like "Gripe would like Game of Thrones, because...er...history? (no) Plot? (possibly) Characterization? (debatable)" etc, whilst ignoring the fact that I loathe films with excessive sex, violence or dodgy accents in them.
I suspect the true reason they think I'd like it is because I've been known to watch Lord of the Rings a number of times. What they DON'T know, is that my personally edited version cuts out Frodo, Sam, Blondie (pointy ears), all of the fucking elves, most of the Orc scenes, and is pretty much just Bernard Hill dying on a battlefield over and over again. So.
I also liked Boromir, but he died also. Which isn't a spoiler because Sean Bean dies in every film he's in.
Which brings us back to Game of Thrones.
THIS is the only GOT related thing I like.

Anyone watching Orphan Black, I recommend it. It's really good. A sci-fi clone story.

Yes, Orphan Black is really good. I caught up on the first season just before the second season started. The actress does such a good job with all the characters.

I'm trying to understand where the idea for TBBT originated. (excuse my mind it never stops!). I watched all the CSI series, up until the Tarantino fire ant finale(S5). The character Gil Grisom, a forensic entomologist, is the first intellectual, obsessive, 'nerdy' character, I remember. He seems to have evolved from the character Will Graham who worked with the FBI, in the film Manhunter. Gil also had a secret, yet obvious to viewers, relationship with Sara Sidle. I've only ever watched about a half of 'Two and a Half Men' episode, but CL was so obsessed, he did a cross over between his show and CSI. So he obviously open to radical ideas, and practices.
