'Shindig'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
My cable company is listing The Knick as premium cable. Discussing where, here, yah?
I've only watched about 15 minutes of the first ep but I was so skeeved by his not wearing socks, more so than what he was doing between his toes! Matt Frewer is getting around, nice to see him here and Orphan Black, fid as long as that lasted! (Early fandoms - The Prisoner, Family, Star Trek TNG, Twin Peaks, Max Headroom). Heck of a beard!
HBO offered free samples, so (not having time for whole season) watched last episode. My response was 'well that that was stupid." I did like Sookies line which summed up much of the stupidity. You know, the one where she plantively sniffles "You haft to die cause I got no self-respect?"
I may have time to watch one ep from the last season other than the final. Are there any I should bother with?
P.S. So far am loving Outlander. Never read the books. Normally I don't like first person narrative in film. But the combination of the writing and the delivery makes it as though a smart and self-aware old friend is telling me this, without justifying or minimizing where she screwed up, but not hating herself for her mistakes either.
I made it through the SoA premiere but I think I'll skip the rest until the end when the recap articles come out. It's just too gruesome. Not that I didn't expect the same.
Outlander Season 1, Volume 1 coming out in March.
GoT at IMAX - list of participating theatres at link. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, January 16th.
Watching some House of Cards, because I can. i only watched the last season a couple of months ago, but I sure don't remember what all happened.
