[Movie] The thread where only Rockgamer posts (fall TV season discussion)

The Event

There is, possibly, a good show in here somewhere. It's pretty much buried at this point under a mountain of horribly convoluted time jumps, milquetoast characters, and in a twist for this genre, a bit too much answering of questions right out of the gate. After two episodes, just about every major question from the premiere has been answered, and the questions that were raised were ones that weren't nearly as much of a hook as the pilot's were. If you're going to move ahead breakneck like that you'd best be prepared to follow up right.

Hawaii Five-0

Bitchin' theme music, respectably interesting pilot, woefully formulaic second episode. It's nice to see Jin getting some work, and Scott Caan is a scene stealer, but the lead is boring and the plot of the second episode was two forensics scenes away from being an episode of CSI:. To be fair, it's fun to watch action movie type antics instead of people sitting in labs talking, but there's things like Human Target that do a better job of scratching the 42 Minute Action Movie itch. I see this lasting a season, maybe two if something else on CBS's slate tanks.

Shit My Dad Says

Oh holy god this show is fucking abysmal do not watch it you will want to bleed to death out of your asshole

Outsourced

Fuck this show. Not only did NBC move Parks and Rec to midseason to make room for this shitpile, but it didn't even have the decency to pretend not to be racist. NBC is staffed by fucking morons.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
