TV - What are you watching?

[Dexman PE PMP]

Mrs Dex loved Sherlock. I would catch a part here and there, but never saw a complete episode.

Apparently there is quite the female following of Benedict. They call themselves Cumberbitches.

We just finished the episode that your talking about fox. When it ended we were both like "You have got to be kidding me!" Great show so far, and that pool scene was great.

Wasn't that great?! I was on the edge of my seat.

"Catch.......you.......later." "NO YOU WON'T!!!!" LMAO!!

I started marathon watching Orange is the New Black while confined to the couch yesterday. It's not as great as people make it out to be, but still decently funny and not as chick-flick-ish as I had assumed it would be. Also a decent amount of ****age and lesbian scenes.

I just finished up Sons of Anarchy on Netflix so now I am busy Googling to see if I can find anything about when they're getting Season 7. Sounds like I may need to start Orange is the New Black in the meantime.

Ok RG, I'll take the bate. Vegas vacation is on IFC right now.

Holy $hitballs. I haven't tried to watch anything yet so I don't want to get too excited, but if this thing works like it's supposed to, I'm not waiting anymore and I'll be cutting my cord.

I heard about Popcorn Time yesterday. Supposed to be like Netflix, but with a lot of new stuff on it. I didn't think about again until last night just before bed so I got it loaded on my computer but didn't have time to try and watch anything yet.

Visually, it looks a lot like Netflix. The list of shows/movies was pretty impressive so hopefully it works as well as it's supposed to. Of course, the first thing I searched for was SOA. Popped right up...all 7 seasons. Since it was late, I didn't browse through the movies but I did notice Guardians of the Galaxy right up top which is a good sign. Just have to try it out tonight...hopefully it works as well as Netflix too.

BTW...Supe, I started watching Orange the other night and (so far) I'd say your assessment is dead on, i.e. not earth shattering but a decent watch...with ****s and lesbians.

Popcorn Time is very illegal, if you care about that. I think it has been pulled from the interwebz.

It's only illegal to the people responsible for hosting that media. Though I believe the servers reside in the Netherlands so it's difficult for networks to pursue. It's similar to how major US sporting events are also streamed in other countries. So long as you aren't recording the material and re-distributing it, it's fair game.

 

[jeb6294]

Hey, look over there...a squirrel. Now move along. Nothing to see here.

Not that I would know personally, but from what I hear, Popcorn Time works pretty well. Doesn't stream quite as well as Netflix, but that can be remedied by pausing the movie.TV show right when it starts and letting it "catch up" for a bit before starting it. Hopefully that's something that would go away if I...ehh, I mean this guy I know...can get the cable company to bump up his internet speed in his current plan to match the new fiber optic stuff the phone company just put in.

 

[Supe]

Black Sails finally started up again on Starz. Looking forward to this season! They always manage to make each episode not boring. Even the ones with more dialogue still have action sequences that break things up. And lots of ****age.

^ I have to catch up. I'm watching that on a pirate streaming site

I haven't tried Popcorn Time specifically, but any of those movies hosted on putlocker or vidfile or whatever never work for me. I don't know if Verizon is throttling those websites, but even when I pause the video, I have to wait at least an hour for it to load completely, and even that's not guaranteed since it can crash half way through. I have 50Mbps up and down, so I doubt speed is a problem.

On topic, I started watching Brain Games on the Nat Geo channel. That's a fun show with all sorts of cool trivia. My son was so proud of being able to hear the 18 kHz frequency while I was saying I couldn't hear anything.

Finished Sons of Anarchy last night. There were spoilers everywhere so I already knew how it ended and it was still rough to watch. I was rather amused by the was Jax was able to stroll around and wrap up all his loose ends over the course of the day, but no APB went out until he was done.

 

[knight1fox3]

Does anyone watch Suits? Currently watching it here and there with LadyFox and it's pretty good. Kind of getting addicted to it.

That last episode was one of the biggest steaming piles I've ever seen.

 

[Road Guy]

I really liked the first season Of "the Americans". Second season was a little slow... Now it's almost moving in reverse.....I know actual spy stuff is like that but they need to jazz it up more than the weird looking guy having sex with homely secretaries...

 

[NJmike PE]

so two and a half men FINALLY ended last night. While I haven't watched in quite some time, I did last night. I found the episode to be entertaining to say the least. Without any spoilers for the 3 or 4 possible remaining fans out there, it was worth the watch to at least put that final nail in the coffin.

 

[SNAPE/SMOTT PE]

I'm impatiently waiting for the new season of GoT!

 

[jeb6294]

Now that I finished SOA and Orange is the New Black, I've started on GoT. Just finished Season 1. My initial thought was, "why are people so into this", but I do find myself wanting to start the next episode each time I finish one. One of the guys here at work also told me that it's one of those shows that gets better, i.e. the first season kind of sets the stage.
