What are you watching???

Right now I'm watching Longmire on A&E Staring Robert Taylor, Lou Diamond Philips and Katee Sackoff.

My son is watching it on Netflix. I'm catching up on episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which I haven't seen in about 30 years.
 
Part way through Forbidden Planet at the moment, took a break to go shopping and check online.
 
I'm currently watching season 1 of Twin Peaks, which I have never seen before. I'm watching it because Don S. Davis is in it.
 
Season 4 of Downton Abbey on DVD. It's been a few episodes since someone's died, so I'm growing concerned. It's bound to happen soon!
 
...just finished "Pillars of the Earth" for the umpteenth time! :) ...now watching "Ocean's 13"...
 
Watching Leftovers.

Unless a year from now people are saying excellent things about it this is probably the last time I watch Leftovers.

What is the point of this show? It's clearly focusing more on the fallout than the disappearance so we can probably assume that it's never going to be explained. This show is about how people would react if 2% of the population spontaneously disappeared. Only they hop forward three years immediately and contend that people just kinda went on pretending it never happened, then three years later stuff blew up. No, things would blow up immediately, who are you kidding? If anything three years is how long it would take for adjustment to happen. They skipped over the entire interesting part of the story. And they spend like twenty minutes of the pilot at some teenage sex party that doesn't go anyplace, and none of the characters are compelling. The weird cult of silent people in white robes just seems silly. There's this one scene at the start where somebody randomly shoots a dog for no apparent reason and the music playing never fits the scene. This is a very, very stupid show.

And they just had a scene that referred to Pope Benedict. Really, they couldn't change the footage that's appearing on a television in a bar in one scene? When was this even shot? did HBO have this show in reserve for like a year then decide to order a full season when they couldn't find anything else to replace Veep and Silicon Valley? JFC.
 
%2 of the world goes missing. That was season one of Heroes. The villain, Mommy Petrelli, decided that human growth was becoming unsustainable, but a minor course correction of an immediate subtraction of %2 would put them where they could do something about saving the world without opening deathcamps or rationing gasoline in the immediate future.

I'm ten minutes into The Left Overs, and I'm wishing that I had watched the second episode of The Last Ship first... Which is also the same story, kinda... Big Finish who does the audio stories of Classic Doctor Who, got the license for Survivors recently, and their first box set was sort of swell.

Oh look, it's one of the Guards from Orange is the New Black. :)

Did "The After" get Picked up?

I think it did.

Jamie Kennedy needs more respect.
