kaini Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The UK Office. Why? It was short, sweet, and pitch-perfectly punctuated by the two part x-mas special. Then of course.......there's the fucking American one. It sucked right out of the gate, but it has gone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on..... Most television shows are horrible for the last few seasons as the flavor leaves the chewing gum. The Sopranos was interesting because Season 5 was outstanding, but seriously, Season 6 was almost unwatchable. agreed on the office. if every series director had the restraint of ricky and stephen, telly would be a more watchable thing. disagree on the last season of the sopranos, though. if chase didn't make fairly extreme changes, i don't think he could have ended it in a way that was acceptable to the largest demographic in his viewers, and the network interference was there and visible right down to them not allowing him as much black as he wanted at the end. i found the last couple of episodes very affecting, particularly the mescaline one (I GET IT! - i think tony finally actually did there), and the very last one. that last scene with junior absolutely fucking killed me when i watched the repeat.

Guest Mirezzi Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Wouldn't most Lost fans agree it has gone at least two years longer than it should have? I mean, come on, between the flashbacks and tedious, reconstituted cliffhangers, the story unfolded at a glacial pace. I watched two seasons very quickly and I literally wanted to skip entire "fluff" episodes when I could tell the writers were AFK and just milking things. "Let's have an episode where Locke and Walt discuss the rules of backgammon for 30 minutes so we can postpone resolving other story issues."

Most television shows are horrible for the last few seasons as the flavor leaves the chewing gum. I hate most sitcoms but the American Office seems to make laugh my ass off almost every episode..... I have never laughed once at the British version..... I love a lot of britcoms... You make me feel weird Ben.... ill-at-ease maybe that is why you love The Shining so much.... you should adapt a Lovecraft story, but done well unlike all of the other attempts.... I think you could do horror well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirezzi Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 woo! one of my next two projects will be a bit of a "horror" film...albeit on a shoestring budget...and the other one I'm working on is a fairy tale with a talking turtle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that some day. if you want, just watch the last episode. i think it's the only one chase actually directed besides the first? if you really want to condense, just watch the last scene in the restaurant, even. it pissed off so many people lol. i thought it was incredible, and for even for a show symbolism-heavy enough to inspire worthless MA courses, it is heaving with a zillion references.

Guest Dirty Protest Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Even if it had of ended 3 seasons ago, there still wouldnt have been an ending. Shit, I keep starting sentences trying to put my finger on just how grim that last episode was, but wtf, where do you start.

GORDO Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yeah that "we need to go back" was really not needed. i thought the "we have to go back" moment was brilliant. it was wtfs like that that made the show so addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't question your taste at all. You're just more....generous...than I am. That's not to be confused with bad taste. No, the 'island' was fucking with their lives, so they had to go back... Okay, I'm gonna have to on that one, but since I only got through the first two seasons before getting bored with the show, I'll shut up about it. Whatever blows y'all's skirts up!

Bubba69 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 this is one show i never followed. Now that all episodes are on hulu I'm starting on season 1. I like it so far but I can't really see where the show is going(on episode 5 so far). Nothing really makes any sense, there still isn't much in terms of an overall story but I can see a lot of promise, the bulk of episodes I need to see is daunting.

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 atop you are wrong, after season 2-3 this show sucks nuts but at first its kinda cool and then all you really need is to read/see spoilers of the rest of show, this show is a fucking waste of time after season 2-3 and then you realize it was all kind of a waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
