Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

Because the producers were ready to move on but....something tells me that they probably filmed the final episode without a resolution.

kind of begs the question when was the earliest awards show in memoriam, I remember them as far back as the 2002 oscars (even though they had been doing them for awhile) and I know they didn't really do one at the 1991 Prime Time emmy awards (heck I think LIFE magazine started the tradition of Year in Review issues)

okay I normally don't do recaps but holy crap I can't believe that Masked Singer reveal last night, to be honest I actually guessed him back in season 3

man I always thought this show was safer than The View but I guess it isn't.....I think it went downhill when Aisha left

Nice to know that this show is coming back from the dead, too bad it's going to be a Paramount+ exclusive

Also I don't normally talk about Cartoon series finales, but man what a finish to DuckTales (2017) I'm actually kind of sorry that it's over, especially considering how developed it was and how that most of it was a love letter to the Disney Afternoon (even though most of those shows aired on MTN Kids Club...what am I saying all but ONE of them aired on MTN Kids Club I don't think it ever aired Gummi Bears)

well it should be on BBC America in the US, we get it on CTV Drama (I think) I think AMC is developing the Spinoffs

okay for the record I already knew that Kimi and Dil would be AWOL and I'm actually surprised that they are recasting the parents

man what's going on with CBC? I'm wonder if Heartland is going to get the bad news next (seriously how come they avoided massacre when Anne with an "E", Kim's Convenience and the Air Farce NYE specials couldn't, not mentioning $chitt's Creek because it went out on it's own terms, hell I just found out that they cancelled Frankie Drake)

She had an eating disorder 20 years ago so now doesn't deserve to act? What are you actually saying here?

It's a great show,   what will be interesting is that in 2 years his dad is supposed to die.  It'll be interesting to see if they go canon with the Big Bang Theory storyline where his dad was cheating on his mom and how he died of a heart attack.  

I suppose they can continue on until he meets the gang.

That's....probably how it's going to end anyway

She projected a very unhealthy body image that many young women emulated. It is to be hoped that she has healed.
