Pleasantly surprised by how much I'm looking forward to season two of The Leftovers starting tomorrow.

I didn't even realize it was coming back! I completely forgot about it. About to watch it.

Edit: And much like the first season...I have no idea what is going on.

The first 10 minutes was weird as hell. This new fellow, John(?)...I wanna know what his deal is. Why did he burn down the guys house?

Why the hell did Kevin move all the way to Texas?

And I'm guessing the place is called 'Miracle' because the town managed to have nobody 'depart'

Going to dive into Twin Peaks again. The pilot was as outstanding as I remember it.

[Szumi]

Anyone here watch Quantico so far? It's been pretty entertaining in its first two episodes.

[Benji]

Last Man On Earth Season 2 Episode 2:

Blah, aside from Melissa and Todd, I don't much care for the Tucson group. Still, another great episode.

Adam Ruins Everything Episode 2

 

I'm never buying Tylenol again

[Benjamin]

Oh man, episode 2 of the Grinder was pretty hilarious.

This week's Fresh Off the Boat was great, too.

[Benji]

Anyone watched You, Me and The Apocalypse? Watched the first episode the other day. Takes a little while to get into its groove, but it's pretty damned good, and the amazing cast doesn't hurt.

[Benji]

Bob's Burgers renewed through season eight!

[Draevyn]

So one of my shows, Minority Report, isn't going to make it a full season so I'm dropping it before it disappoints me. Has anyone watched The Game with Wesley Snipes? Just wondering if I should check that out.

The Leftovers S2E2

Way to waste money, Nora. Like...just say 2 million and save yourself the extra!

[Benjamin]

Anyone saw the series premiere of the Last Kingdom? It has such a generic name, but I'm halfway through it and it's pretty fun.

[Benji]

Homeland return episode was really meh. I feel like The Americans has surpassed it by far with both great spy drama and great character drama.

Finally getting a chance to sit down and watch season 2 of The Leftovers, and what the fuck is this stupid intro? The season 1 intro was way better.

Rewatching Spaced. It has not aged well. It's still amusing, but a lot of it feels dated in a way I can't totally explain.

[GoGo Yubari]

it's very reactive to geek culture around the turn of the millennium from what I remember, especially the anticipation for Phantom Menace followed by the crushing disappointment of it being, well, Phantom Menace. It's sort of a time capsule to me, not unlike the way I feel about Kevin Smith's movies up to that point.

also, heads-up, EWB, Fargo comes back tonight.

Yeah that about sums it up. It's still funny as hell, but parts of it are just really jarring.

Fargo S2E1:

Aw, man. I was hoping for a whole lot more of Kieran Culkin. Fucking great, though. Kirsten Dunst's character is going to be a treat.

I love the new Leftovers intro! I also honestly don't even remember the other one though

[Benji]

To be honest, it's not actually that bad, it was just the initial massive juxtaposition with last season.

[GoGo Yubari]

I haven't even finished season 1, but I hated that intro. I thought there was something really obnoxious about it.
