The Scorpio Zodiart's costume oh my god! It's amazing.
I had to look up the constellation when the shape was slightly different from the body but it matches up. I hope they show Chamaeleon's constellation too

It doesn't get more unsettling yet entertaining than HR Pufnstuf.

Holy
shit
that episode on Sunday
I don't think Walt's ever been in a hole this fucking deep before.
[spoiler=HOLY SHIT MASSIVE SPOILERS][spoiler=I MEAN IT]Before, Walt only had to worry about the family's needs, and the worst that could (read as: did) happen was him losing his family altogether. But that was in a divorce sense, now Gus wants to murder everyone tied to Walt and oh my god I was LITERALLY on the edge of my seat watching the last twelve minutes.
And now that the DEA got the tip that the cartel wants Hank's head, they're going to come for Walt's family. And Jesse's making it a point to be the biggest douchebag to Walt so there's no chance he'd save him or his family.
I literally can't wait for this Sunday. I need to fucking watch this next episode.
Also I absolutely love how it was so apparent that Ted was going to get killed, but even then the writers curve-balled the death by making it an accidental suicide. That just came out of nowhere.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Holy fuck breaking bad
everything about those final scenes was just spot-on
i also seriously have to give credit to the composer, for making something so simple yet so fitting, channeling perfectly that sense of impending dread and hysteria
RE: General Television Thread - Key - 09-29-2011
oh my god
the newest breaking bad....
oh my god
just
oh my god
fucking deep

holy shit the doctor who finale
didn't really make a ton of sense and [spoiler]the way the doctor cheats death seemed kind of like a cop-out to me, even if its really the only good explanation[/spoiler] but I still loved it, especially the last scene
i mean goddamn
RE: General Television Thread - PrettyNier - 10-02-2011
honestly, i felt really underwhelmed at the doctor who season finale
RE: General Television Thread - Rosencrantz - 10-02-2011
One more episode of Breaking Bad left in this season
hnnnnnngggggghhhhhhh then another half a year of waiting for season five
RE: General Television Thread - tsr moderation staff - 10-02-2011
i kind of liked that the finale wasn't an epic battle, it was just [spoiler]the doctor believing he's better off dead and everyone he loves desperately trying to save him[/spoiler]
it was a bit unfocused at times, but it had a kind of its a wonderful life feel and i liked it a lot
RE: General Television Thread - x0_000 - 10-02-2011
If there's one thing in the finale that was awesome, it was the
[spoiler]gigantic blob of silence on the ceiling.[/spoiler]
The entire "oh it turns out we didn't show everything that happened here's what really happened!!!" bits are getting grating though.
RE: General Television Thread - TomGuycott - 10-03-2011
I liked the Doctor Who season finale. Sure, I liked bits of the last season finale better, but it held up pretty well.
[spoiler]
The fact that the entire season was meant to explain the origin of River Song and the person she murdered (who was obviously the Doctor from the moment they mentioned her being imprisoned for murder) KIND OF diminished the epicness factor in favor of something a little more emotionally driven, but I didn't think that was a bad thing really. It was a more emotional plot line in general, what with the Doctor trying to accept death and all. Beyond that I feel like the season finale was just trying to set up something much bigger, evident by it's ending. As for the pacing feeling off, they seemed like they had to cram a whole lot of information into a single episode. However, I don't feel like they had enough story to keep it going for two whole episodes, ALTHOUGH I kind of wished I could see more of the upside-down everything happening at once world.
Overall I liked it. The whole concept of all of time happening at once in a single moment took me totally by surprise, considering it started with all this bizarre imagery without explaining why at first. I kind of double-taked when River didn't shoot him, and I was all like "Har har!" when the eyepatch lady got her come-upons. And let's be fair about the resolution of how he cheated death in the end, at least it's not totally out of left field like last season's finale where his future self just SOMEHOW jumps back in time to put into motion events that frees his past self, though logically his past self would've had to have been freed ALREADY for his future self to even exist.
