Watched Argento's Inferno the other night. Like just about all Argento that isn't Deep Red or Suspiria, it's not great but had some neat moments.
Started watching Fulci's Don't Torture a Duckling. Got about halfway through before I had to go to bed. Really good so far! Looking forward to finishing it up tonight.

Watched Don't Go in the Woods last night. It took a looooong time to get to the killing.
The song Vincent D'Onofrio is singing in the beginning is horrible and amazing.

okay i'm done with battlestar bless the gods and i could write poetry forever about that show and i have to watch caprica now just because i have to. and i've actually been watching buffy but i can come and go from buffy. buffy will be there. and i want to watch all of jericho because i liked the ones i saw and i missed a bunch. and me and the the end of the world go together like peas and pods. but what about these other shows. i want to try a bunch of them. for some reason i have no interest in stargate shows or all the star trek spinoffs i have missed or anything dr. who related. sorry who fans! and i'm not really into vamps/werewolf action (aside from buffy). which ones are the best and must see t.v.
lexx (this looks good)
outcasts
roswell
the guild
farscape (this looks good too)
merlin
united states of tara
earth 2
space precinct (space precinct!)
eureka

i assume you've done firefly already?
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
united states of tara has a good cast, but it is pretty terrible imo.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
i mean if someone told me that stargate atlantis was ESSENTIAL viewing or something i would probably give it a try...
― scott seward, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
i actually watched firefly when it was first on t.v. but i could probably watch it again. i forget a lot of it. and i might have missed a couple of episodes. and i still need to see the movie...
i mean i really liked the show when i saw it.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link
which star trek spinoffs did you miss? ds9 is the last good one imo
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
i've just never watched entire runs of any star trek other than the original. i could go for ds9. i just don't want to watch 400 episodes of next gen or anything.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:07 (eleven years ago) link
you should
start with season 3

if you're considering manga SF, you might try FLCL or Monster

Farscape always looks too much DragonCon sexytime for me.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:47 (eleven years ago) link
Farscape is good. Gets a bit crap in the middle but it's really meaty, storywise. That and DS9 prolly my all-time favorite sci-fi series.

I think I spent an hour of Merlin marveling at how much better it was than I expected it to be before admitting to myself that I still hated it

I like The Guild a lot but it's mostly because half of it is WoW guild in-jokes, I have no idea how it would come across to someone who hasn't spent a lot of time in that environment
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 19:13 (eleven years ago) link
i think the guild is basically low budget "community".
― Authorities don't know who shot the 50 Cent the goose. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:03 (eleven years ago) link
ha that is scarily OTM
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
I tried watching The Guild. I got exactly as far as the woman neglecting her kids for World Of Warcraft before I decided that, while that may be an accurate portrayal, these are not people I want to spend any time with.
Scott: watch the Dr. Who revival! It is THE BEST. Even when it's terrible.

Also, both seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are on there.

I was so happy about that because I could clear them off of my DVR -- but then it just gets filled with Max and Ruby episodes, and that show is so much worse.

Max is a sociopath a la Macauley Culkin in the Good Son, yet somehow his antics are supposed to be cute?

Sociopaths are ADORABLE.

Also, now that the entirety of the original G.I. Joe animated series is on there, you all have to watch the "Cold Slither" episode. Trust me on this. It is delightfully insane.
