I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

On the other hand, that first one (under some other name) did provide MST3K with one of their better episodes.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

All of season 2 eps of Walking Dead have been piling up on my TiVo and I haven't had time to watch any of them yet. The general opinion seems to be "everyone on the show is too fucking stupid to live." I liked the first season well enough (it helped that it was short), although I was already rolling my eyes through most of the episodes. Should I bother watching S2? I'm tempted to go ahead and delete the whole thing.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

why not watch? The first half of the season is worse than the 2nd half. I think next season will be decent (given what I know about the plot from the g novel). It isn't a long season.

what le nub said. why not watch and then decide if you want to keep watching? there are definitely some characters that are too stupid to live, but that's on any show/movie. the other characters more than make up for them, in my opinion.

although i do want to smack all of them upside their head every time they fire a gun.

For my part, I would recommend fast-forwarding any time Darryl or Hershel aren't onscreen.

On the other hand, that first one (under some other name) did provide MST3K with one of their better episodes.

The second one (also known as Outlaw of Gor), actually. And its existence is redeemed by the sight of Jack Palance in this hat (even characters in the movie can't keep a straight face when looking at it!) and by inspiring Tubular Boobular Joy.

Oh, right. It did seem like a sequel (with budget saving flashbacks). It's been a while. I think the version they had was just called "Outlaw".

And its existence is redeemed by the sight of Jack Palance in this hat (even characters in the movie can't keep a straight face when looking at it!) and by inspiring Tubular Boobular Joy.

On the other hand, I remember both of these things from it vividly.

It sounds like you don't particularly want to watch it. So I would say you shouldn't. I'm hedonistic like that!

I bailed early because the VG recaps are funnier and take much less time, but I think if you were rolling your eyes at S1 you may sprain something watching S2.

MST3K makes up for a lot.
