KAAAAAABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM



*mALX's head explodes*

Looking forward to see Jon and Tyrion again after season 1. They seemed to get along really well.

Favorite shows still running
Comedy: The Big Bang Theory
Drama (non horror): Gotham (Khajiit likes the styling of it; one of the few shows this one looks forward to watching every week)
Drama (horror): The Walking Dead
Reality: History's Forged in Fire

Honorable Mentions:
Game of Thrones
Black Sails
Face Off
The Blacklist
American Horror Story
Ash vs. Evil Dead
Marco Polo

Favorite shows in repeat land
The Twilight Zone
X-Files (the "monster of the week" episodes were this one's favorites!)
Castle ( )
Firefly ( )
Deadwood
Penny Dreadful

New shows Khajiit is interested in seeing more of
Stranger Things- awesome little show from Netflix. Feels like early X-Files meets The Goonies. Definitely curious to see what they do with Season 2.
Westworld- based on the 70's film of the same name, it's a cool idea but the themes are all over the place. Soundtrack is cool.
Lethal Weapon- the comedic dynamic between the two leads (Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford) is pretty good. Also, there is some heart to the show as well as big booms and mayhem!

Ditto!!!!








Edited your post for my own list!

Your list makes Khajiit realize that he is watching too much TV, lol

I actually don't care much for television; but sometimes there is nothing else to do (and sitting in front of a PC 24/7 gets uncomfortable, lol).

But there are some things I will actually stop doing everything and turn on the TV to watch; one of them is Game of Thrones.

Do you read the ASoI&F books?

Am I the only one to notice that Gotham can also be looked upon at Got Ham? Mmmm-mmmmm good, yes I do! *insert Homer Simpson smiley*

I am on the second season of Gotham. I bought it on blu-ray a few weeks ago, along with the final season of Penny Dreadful. I am have not even started on that one yet. I probably won't until after I get done with Got Ham. I think the third season of Black Sails will be out on disc soon too, so I will probably be starting that in a while.

I watched the first season of Supergirl a little while ago, and absolutely loved it.

I bought the entire X-Files on blu-ray several months ago (I even put the pic of it in the Now Watching topic, to prove it happened... ). That includes the movies, and the event series. I started watching it all over from the start. Now I am up to Season Six. Last night I saw the two parter where the conspiracy was wiped out by the Alien Rebels (except of course that it wasn't really). I prefer the monster of the week episodes over the conspiracy ones as well. At least Mulder and Scully have some chance of actually doing something in them. The problem with the conspiracy episodes is that they never get anywhere, never prove anything, and just seem to ineffectual and powerless, which is not good for your protagonists. They should be the ones driving the story. But most of the time Mulder and Scully are simply witnesses to events, not the final arbiter of them.

I think I am a rare person who doesn't watch tv at all, when it is on tv that is. I only watch shows after they come out on disc. I rent them from Netflix, or buy them if I really like them. That way I don't have to wait for a specific day or time to see something. I just pull it off my shelf and start watching. When I start watching a show I typically watch one episode a day. I might watch two or three shows at a time this way. Like a Got Ham episode over a lunch, a Supergirl over dinner, and an X-Files before bed. But if I really want to, I might marathon a show and watch four or five episodes a day.

We got rid of our cable TV a couple of years ago and we don't miss it at all ...

In fact, I watch so little TV now that I could live without the flatscreen in my house. It's only around because my Mom still likes to watch her soaps on it.

I'm content with Netflix and Hulu Plus on my computer and iPad.

That said, I'm not watching any TV at all lately. Tried watching some K drama a couple of months ago but just couldn't get into it. Tried a few others that were supposed to be good, but I found them too predictable. Even the ones with the eye candy just can't keep my interest for long.

I'd much rather game these days . . .

Anyway, one really good series that I've been watching off & on on Netflix is Hinterland. It's a Welsh detective show that is filmed in two versions - English language (the one I've been watching) and Welsh language. It's cool, because between the scenery (which is both gorgeous and desolate at the same time, much like I imagine Lady Cora's Cardonaccum to be), the weather, and the foreign languages on the signs, it's mysterious, fascinating and overall understated in its dramatic overtones. The lead detective is struggling with issues we are just now learning about (at the end of the second season, if I recall correctly), and his second-in-command is struggling with sexism at work and being a single mom of a teenager who is going through the typical alienation process with her (the "I'm too cool to talk to my mom about stuff" kind of thing).

Add to this the fact that British TV seasons tend to run to six or eight episodes and I"m happy. Each episode is about 90 minutes, which allows for some really chunky story-telling, which is as filling for my mind as my Cloud Ruler Beef Stew is for my stomach.

I didn't even know about them till I started watching the GoT; but I most def want to now - plus the Dunk & Egg Series.

Khajiit likes them. Hopefully Georgie will have the next book in the series out sometime next year.

I'm just hoping he finishes the series without being influenced by the TV series and where the producers of it are taking things (aka Hollywood style).

Yeah, Khajiit hopes so too. One of the good things about the show being ahead of the books is that he can do things differently if he wants.

I hope he doesn't think it is what people want; isn't influenced in his decisions by what the viewers talk about online, etc - really wish he had finished it before production started on the show so there would be no outside influences on his story.

But since the show surpassed the story, there is a definite tangible change in the show and characters from F'n Awesome to Hollywoody showboat. Things that were staples in the show (like Tyrion's personality and intelligence; like his bad guys having shades of gray instead of being moustache twirlers; etc) - it all turned once they no longer had his guidelines for the characters, and they began to take on all new personalities that felt like Hollywood trying to please their audience rather than the inner workings of the mind of a genius.

You've got a good grasp of it for sure. Read the books. You won't be disappointed.

I am 100% positive that I would not be disappointed in them, and really hope I can one day!

Uh. The mustache-twirling change really bugged me. Characters like Ramsay Bolton did evil stuff for the sake being evil. Like "Oh I can eat an apple with the same knife I used to stab a woman to death." Or "I get off on skinning people alive."

Characters like Jaime and Thorn and Tyrion are like able because there are aspects that we can relate to.... Heroics at times, not so much the incestuous stuff... Ehem.

The other shows I liked watching were Being Human and some cartoons like the Clone Wars and Rebels.... Which had some dissapointing stuff. Rebels turned out to be, well, Rebellion propaganda. But it's a children's show so I don't expect them to show the Imperial's point of view.

I might get into watching Black Sails.

Oh and I guess I was tempted. I read the entire spoilers for GOT season 7. Don't know if it's real or not but the actress who plays Missandrei certainly voiced her dissapointment at the leak on Twitter.

Khajiit will not be reading your spoilers for GoT, lol
This one loved The Clone Wars. Should've added it.
