    What else do people out in SFF-land enjoy watching

    The new Muppets show. First episode started tonight. It was fantastically HILARIOUS. Interesting that there are scenes in this video that were actually changed afterwards. They are slightly different in the actual show, but it was still fantastic.

    Minority Report, the TV series.

    So I saw the first episode of this was out and decided to watch it again to see if perhaps my opinion of it had changed, and was surprised to discover they pretty much completely changed the plot of the first case, and it wasn't for the better. They cut out a lot, including all of what I...

    35.01: The Magician's Apprentice

    Ridiculous and far fetched as always yet somehow still entertaining. Seeing Davros make an appearance was interesting, especially him as a boy. But that ending... trying to shock the viewer... yet it fell flat because we know it won't stay that way. But hey, the doctor needs something to...

    Doctor Who losing audience?

    The previous season was pretty bad, tbh. After wrapping up the story the season before, they tried to create an entirely new arc which was a load of nonsense that really went nowhere... So I'm not surprised. The only saving grace of last season was Peter Capaldi who turned out to be a pretty...

    Tickety Boo Covers Feedback Forum...

    I was going to say stuff, but then read the first reply and thought Ralph is spot on with his critique and said everything I was thinking. I like the green though, that's fine. The sword is out of place, the fighting and ships look a little wonky and it's too busy. Less is More. I think why...

    The ******* Executioner

    It isn't historically accurate, and does have some fantasy elements. Watched the first double episode, or at least tried to. Saying it was terrible is an understatement. It seems the point of the show is to try one up GoT by deliberately going out of its way to shock the viewer... The writing...

    Limitless (CBS)

    Saw the pilot of this and was surprisingly entertained. Looks like I'll be picking this one up next week.

    Write First,Think Later?

    There does need to be some inspiration to begin with, so that you can actually sit down and write, but that doesn't mean analysing every key point in the story. You don't need to know the entire story before you write, and it's probably better if you don't. I've always said that the first draft...

    Help invited for chapter 2 intro - 197 words

    They both sound like they lack character and charm to me. It's worse with the first version though. The first paragraph is good. It's got feeling. But the next two paragraphs after it switch back to the listing of actions without much depth. You start skimming over details. I get that you...

    The Beginning of a book, unless this goes really badly. In which case I'll just die.

    His shouts were lost in the snow. He turned, to look back along the cord that connected him to his sister. She had been reduced to nothing more than a smudge in a flurry of snow. [new line for dialogue here since you're talking about two different people and it might confuse the reader who is...

    Confusing? Potential tweak to Mayhem's start (334 words)

    Your rewrite fixed many of the points I was going to say about wordiness, so that's good. Means I now don't have a lot to say, except to wonder if you should be referencing another author's works within your own? Being Sherlock Holmes I know it doesn't have any troubles with copyright matters...

    Dark Matter

    DM sacrificed world building for the sake of mystery, but the mystery itself wasn't fleshed out enough to satisfy me and felt rather forced, and underwhelming at that...

    Dark Matter

    Was just reading that Dark Matter and Killjoys have both been renewed for season 2. But whether people come back to watch them next year is the question, especially considering they will have to compete with The Expanse -- which is getting very favorable reviews for the pilot.

    Attack on Titan

    We are all looking forward to it, but there is an already announced second season though, coming next year, so maybe wait until that, so as not to spoil it? Depends on the person I guess. Some prefer to read the story instead of waiting, others prefer to wait until the animated version of the...

    Minority Report, the TV series.

    I was under the impression it already had been picked up. They deliberately released the pilot episode quite considerably ahead of time. According to the FOX website, the actual show officially starts on the 21st of this month. Anyway, I thought the pilot episode was pretty bad. Weak acting...

    5.10 Falling Skies: Reborn

    Farewell Falling Skies... you won't be missed... Was a very weak episode, but really, the entire show has been weak. I have to admit though, I'm very surprised the show actually made it through all five seasons to finish the story, and I'm impressed I managed to stick with it all that time. I...

    The Last Ship - Military pr0n in the apocalyptic world

    Yeah it was a great episode.

    AMC's Hell on Wheels - Season 2 - The series that is unappreciated by so many.

    Going to be an intense second half to the season. My only wish is that we didn't have to wait so long to see it. 2016...? They are really drawing it out. But should be good, it's a fight that's been coming since the very first episode.

    Defiance (SyFy)

    Well that's it folks... all these shows coming to an end. Sad days. Was the strongest season so far too. Considering the season finale, it would be interesting to see where the show goes in a fourth season. If a 4th happens, I'm unfortunately expecting a huge time jump. But to be honest, if...
