I do like IMDB ratings. I never said the series is bad. I just said was puzzled by the stratospheric ratings and curious what I was missing. Is it over-inflated due to the video game fans? Or does it take another episode or two to really kick in?Originally posted by Bo Diddley View Post
My point was that you like IMDB ratings. Maybe they're not so accurate!
What I like to mock is some of you snobs claiming that a classic movie (raiders, back to the future, etc) is "terrible" when it clearly isn't terrible."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Don't worry Bo. I've been on the receiving end of Jeff's IMDB tirades. I got your joke!Originally posted by Bo Diddley View Post

I started the Last of Us. There are definitely some familiar themes (it's sort of Walking Dead meets I am Legend), but I'm two episodes in and I'm really enjoying it.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I haven't gotten around to watching it yet, but I think if people are raving about a TV show built on cut scenes from a video game... let's just let it breathe a little and enjoy it, yeah?Originally posted by UVACoug View PostI like The Last Of Us. It's very good, but I feel that it is trying too hard to be "prestige TV." It feels like a cheap ripoff of The Leftovers or Station Eleven (two of the best shows of the last decade, IMO). Not familiar with the source material at all, but feel like they could have done something a little more original."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

The mega monster in episode 5 is the one thing that strikes me as way too video game-esque. But Episodes 5 and 6 were great otherwise.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Finished this last night in my hotel room. Incredibly moving. My favorite too, so far.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View Post
Episode 3 is the only episode I really liked, probably because there weren't really any zombies in episode 3."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

The last episode is essentially zombie free also. Coincidentally that and episode 3 are Mrs. NWC's favorites.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View Post

I started watching season 2 of Perry Mason, which seems like it took forever to come out. I'm only 2 episodes in, but I'm a sucker for period shows set in L.A. Especially noir shows like this. So far so good.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
