I watched the second season of Voltron: Legendary Defender and it's better in some respects and worst in some respects than season 1. Currently I'm just watching random episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix for some weird reason. Random episodes of Doctor Who on Amazon Prime.
I'm also watching new episodes of Supergirl season 2 and Legends of Tomorrow season 2 on Xbox Live.

Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow easily the best superhero TV shows currently on. I love the upbeat and hopeful Supergirl and that the show runners gets how Supergirl and by extension Superman are supposed to work and still show how and why people would fear them without making me want to hate the world like that piece of shit movie Man of Steel did. The day that WB and/or DC kills that universe I will dance for joy.
Legends of Tomorrow is fan service pure and simple but it at least is good and fun fan service and season 2 is better paced and the rules of time travel seemed to have been worked out and writers seem to know the characters and how they interact better this time around.
Arrow season 5 has been much better than it's past 2 seasons at least up to mid-season break.
The Flash season 3 is a complete and total trainwreck. Starting off with Flashpoint in a one hour episode was a stupid idea and some of the after shocks make little or no sense like Catlin suddenly having superpowers after explaining in the previous season she didn't have the gene or whatever to have superpowers, even though her Earth-2 doppelganger was Killer Frost. , Savitor, the Speed God's design sucks and I'm getting sick of the evil speedsters being the big bad of this series. The whole thing with Cisco being mad at Barry for not saving his jackass brother. The new rouges like Dr. Alchemy, Magenta, Mirror Master, and the Top are all a major let down. HR is annoying and waste of Tom Cavangh's talent.
Iris is now "destined" to be killed by Savitor in the not so distant future.
Wally West finally becoming the Kid Flash is the only good thing out of this mess.
The aftermath of Flashpoint on the other the shows makes even less sense like how the Reverse-Flash came back to life on Legends of Tomorrow (although the episode from 2 weeks ago did answer it as best as they could).
How Barry saving his mom would change the gender of Dig's baby on Arrow other just because the Legends met him in an alternate timeline in one episode of Legends of Tomorrow season 1? I mean Dig and Lyla couldn't have second child?
In the comics Flashpoint showed a really messed up version of the DCU hell even that God-Awful POS animated movie did that (probably the only thing it did right), the show didn't and as a result it's just gotten dumber and dumber. Hopefully the upcoming 2 part Grodd story might put some life back into this series.

I like Supergirl too - its a jolly little show with likeable characters and doesn't try too hard. I'm a bit behind on Season 2, just up to the introduction of a fella from a planet called Draxan or something.
I gave up on Legends Of Tomorrow a couple of eps into the first series, it just didn't click for me. Likewise, Arrow hasn't kept my interest.
I've not been watching Flash, but a lot of what you said echoes what my girlfriend said about this show. She's not massively into superheroes, but thought everything they've been doing in Flash lately was just ..."silly".
I'm really enjoying Agents Of Shield though - that's really come on (I've missed Seasons 2 and 3, but aren't bothered, its easy enough to pick up what's going on). The Ghost Rider and the Darkhold stuff really appeals to me, as I'm a big fan of Marvel's Midnight Sons books (although they rapidly went to sh*t in a series of awful crossovers).

I'm years behind, but I've just started The Sopranos. Only three episodes in, but its infinitely more interesting than sodding Battlestar Galactica. I gave up on that halfway through the third series because forcing an infected cow's carcass through my ear was more exciting.

I'm about halfway through the Shannara Chronicles about this group of people who go on a journey to take a seed from an ancient tree and throw it into a fire to allow it to grow.
I like the girls as well as the druid character but not all that interested in the main male character.

Finally finished the X-Files on blu ray! The revival is very ReGeneration One isn't it? In the same way that ignored Marvel UK on the one hand but kept making references to Marvel UK on the other, season X basically ignores the last couple of years of the show and a lot of the mythology so as to make the "So there weren't any real aliens then" thing to work (most obviously, no mention of Jim From Neighbours and his evil plot), but suddenly brings out Monica or keeps making references to that bloody baby.

Bought seasons 1-6 of Game of Thrones over/just after the holidays; getting around to watching them now. With commentary, as this is my third run-through of most of the series, yay.
This is my signature. My wasted space. My little corner. You can't have it. It's mine. I can write whatever I want. And I have!
We have Seasons 1-3 on DVD, but stopped buying them after that because we never saw them at good prices. I loaned them to a friend last month and now he and his girlfriend are hooked, but they don't have access to Seasons 4-6. I think they are planning to subscribe to HBO next month, just so they can watch the rest of it on demand.Sades wrote:Bought seasons 1-6 of Game of Thrones over/just after the holidays; getting around to watching them now.

I do need to get those boxsets at some point though. A full on series re-watch would be pretty spectacular.

The Game of Thrones box sets are cool because they contain some very helpful extra features, like family trees and all the characters who are loyal and serve under which family. They also help maintain the locations relative to each other. I think if I'd have only been watching it on TV I'd be far more confused.
I've got the first four series (just finished watching the fourth, which is as awesome as ever), and I'm in no rush to get the next. I just pick them up when they drop in price by a decent amount, I don't care if everyone else sees the end before I do, or that they spoil everything. Watching it is still great regardless.

"Wait, what do you mean you haven't watched Seinfeld?"
"I just never got around to watching it!"
"Tets, you're always watching TV! How can you have not watched it!"
"I was like 10 when it was on the air! I was busy watching Turtles or something else back then!"
And then Tets got the series on DVD and the situation is turning around.
