I meant to watch them all but made the mistake of starting with Zombieland and deciding they were all probably about that caliber

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Chris and Snoop do pop up a few times in Season 3 as Marlo takes on The Barksdales but she doesn't make her mark until she buys that nail gun.

And Felicia Pearson is basically playing herself on that show, David Simon found her in Baltimore and told her to play herself.

[King Ellis]

Were there really people worrying that the reputation of Zombieland would be tainted by a spin off TV show? It's not like they're making a Citzen Kane show or something here.

I was reading up on her actually - yeah. I'm interested in her book now.

I just watched all of Freaks and Geeks on Netflix and am really sad it only got 18 episodes.

Also, why did they have to turn Cindy Sanders into such an unlikeable bitch at the end of the show. I really liked how cute and sweet she was with Sam and they turned her into such a shrew.

[apsham]

So I found an article online today that listed show similar to The Wire and The Shield - and they posted two that there a cross between the two the first being Luther and the second being The Chicago Code. I'm thinking of looking into Chicago Code - anyone else watch it?

Hannibal was glorious this week. I hope it gets renewed.

I still say it's a cable show more than a network show.

Somebody on here told me when I asked about Chicago Code that it was harmless, nothing amazing. Got cancelled after a season as well, I think.

[Benji]

Speaking of Chicago, Chicago Fire has been a pleasant surprise this year for me. Good characters, nice balance between drama and humour, and plenty of well paced stories. Glad it got picked up for a second season.

[Ant]

So yeah Elementary

What the hell? Why have Moriarty be Irene Adler? I get it's supposed to be a different take on the canon and all that and i got on board with "Watson being a chick" thing but it seems a bit out there to have two big characters in the Sherlock universe to be one and the same

That's the point. It's one thing to be friends at a distance with someone and another to actually date them.

The mind-blowing bit for me was realising he was around 40 when he started as Spike.

But yeah, when I watched through Smallville late last year/early this year, my girl got annoyed at me cheering on Lex. And also my continual 'Oh man up you wimp' comments aimed at Clark almost got me banished from the house.

Of course, Wimpy Clark from Smallville is nothing compared to incompetent Superman from The Justice League: Animated Series.

Regarding Justice League: Who needs Superman, when you've got Batman around?

One of Superman's derogatory nicknames is `The big blue Boy Scout', due to his wholesomeness. Batman's should be the `The big black Boy Scout'.... because he's always prepared.

Batman does. At the end of JL before it became JLU Batman was going to sacrifice himself by crashing the watchtower into the Hyperspace Bypass Generator the Thanagarians had built but was pulled out of the Watchtower at the last second by Superman.

I'm sure it would've turned out the Watchertower was on auto pilot the whole time.

Goddamnit, man. Can you not spoil cartoons that are like 7 years old for me? I hadn't reached there yet

[KONGO]

I just saw someone get shot on the A-Team! I didn't think that ever happened!

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Also because the Batman is fundamentally useless on every level.

Did you know Gotham has a death penalty?

I mean... Jesus.

A guy can shoot the head cops daughter and still walk out the revolving door.

Plus he owes me twelve bucks for that crap movie made. Auto pilot? Like the franchise at that point.

[Gazz]

My first thought was 'How do Zombies cause a plane to crash due to an engine fire?'.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

By zombie death kill spree one guy panics opens door mid flight zombies fly out into engine? As a guess.
