Also, Aislinn Paul (Degrassi alum) is joining the cast of Heroes: Reborn.

Apparently Community Season 7 is unlikely as all cast contracts expired at season 6, but there's still a chance to do a movie... who'd have thunk it?

I love the Last Leg.

I'd never seen it before, but I saw that rant elsewhere and gave it a shot. I was sold by the "erecting twin towers everywhere" line. Stupendous.

[Lineker]

It's a marvellous show. Nick Clegg has been on it a couple of times and they just tore him to pieces.

Piers Morgan was on the same episode as Clegg once, so Clegg tore Morgan to shreds himself!

Hannibal season 3...

Is anyone else finding this season a bit underwhelming? The story hasn't been particularly enthralling and the constantly dull/dark pallette just feels like a really forced attempt at being maccabre in a show that doesn't need more of it.

Agreed. The first 3 episodes were tedious to sit through and might as well could've been skipped. I would liked it more if they started the season with the latest episod which has been really entertaining.

I wish the person responsible for Garfield Minus Garfield would re-cut Orange Is The New Black without Chapman and her girlfriend.

yeah okay I'm starting on episode 3 of this season and I'm with you. Maybe an edit where the roles are cut down to the point where Piper is basically just the white version of Soso and Alex was a short-term love interest for Nicky.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

The direction they took season 3 is very disappointing. Piper Kerman's real story is actually much interesting than the "wacky lesbians in prison" direction they took the show.

[C-MIL]

That would mean more "Jason Biggs coming to grips" which is no.

They should've just had a "we will try to maybe coexist" bit at the start and then gone their separate ways and got the Australian girl in the mix faster.

I think it would've made for a much cooler reveal at the end if it wasn't made apparent she'd turned her in.

Just finished The Shield. Not at all how I expected the show to end to be honest. The second to last episode was actually more heart wrenching than the final episode.

[Benji]

Dark Matter's third episode was better. Still not keen, but at 13 episodes during the summer lull I can probably give it a further chance.

I could really do with a Piper-less cut of the entire series for the most part. If the whole show was just about Boo I'd love it ten times better than I do now.

Somebody is making the Saved by the Bell wiki into the best thing on the internet

[Benji]

Is Deadwood worth watching? I've heard good things, but I'm a tad put off by the fact it apparently ends on something of an unsatisfying cliffhanger.

[livid]

Stephen Colbert randomly hosted a cable access show in Monroe, MI.

[TKz]

So is The Americans actually any good? I just remember it getting okay reviews at first, did it turn out to be something pretty good?

[livid]

A lot of TV critics consider it the best show on TV right now so my assumption would be yes. I liked the pilot but I got sidetracked and haven't had a chance to get back to it.

There aren't a lot of shows that have ended where the ending wasn't an unsatisfying cliffhanger.

You're obviously watching the wrong shows >_>

[C-MIL]

I started watching Deadwood and got a few episodes in before I just sort of forgot I'd started watching it. It wasn't bad at all. I didn't know about the ending though.

Wayward Pines only has 3 or 4 episodes left and Lucha Underground has six so I'm going to have some open spots coming up. Might pick back up with Deadwood again at that point... unless there's something better.

Has anybody bothered with Sense8? I'm sort of in between that or Daredevil as far as other options go.

[Draevyn]

To be honest, I think I've only ever watched 5 shows from start to finish in my life. The Shield, House, Buffy, Angel, and Sons of Anarchy. Technically Forever since it only got one season so 6 I guess.
