crappyjones123 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I made the mistake of watching an episode of doctor who and now I'm hooked . Why can't American tv be like this? I'd trade the number of episodes for quality in a heartbeat. Never saw a British tv show that I didn't absolutely fall in love with. The same can be said for only a handful of shows stateside.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'd trade the number of episodes... There's actually quite a few episodes of Doctor Who. He's as old as I am...or rather, the show is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 How's your ranked headphone list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Anyone who has multiple headphones (I.E. me) is exempt, since we have different headphones for different situations. EDIT: Also, I think the concept of introducing ownership into the equation differentiates the two -- there's no ownership in Bonds or Doctors, other than by the actual show makers. So we are free to pick favorites in things we own, or things we feel the need to pare down, either financially, or just because. I mean, I have the same problem picking favorite movies from 2013 (I have four [Gravity, Stoker, Upstream Color, and The World's End], favourite albums (if you just listened to what you consider your favourite album for the umpteenth time and felt like something different, is it really -- right at that very second -- still your favourite album?), favourite movies of all time [blade Runner, but if there are so many different versions of it, and I wouldn't change a thing about Pulp Fiction or From Dusk Til Dawn -- neither of which I consider even remotely my favourite movie -- then...what? Am I just indecisive?). EDIT #2: By the way, this is my ranked headphone list: Leatherheads everything else ...you have to start stating criteria to get any more detailed than that (portable -- the Leatherheads just aren't -- etc.).

crappyjones123 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I started with season 5. Matt Smith is almost as cool as Benedict Cumberbatch. All other doctors seem too slow. I enjoy fast, witty deliveries. The quantity reference was more for Sherlock than Doctor Who which has "longer" seasons. Hustle had 6 episodes and always left me wanting more. Sherlock takes that to a whole new level by having only 3/season. I wonder if the quality of popular shows like Walking Dead would improve if they didn't have filler episodes that didn't add anything to the story line (ie. the governor. Fuck the governor. Worst segway ever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Just finished Sherlock s03e03. The first one was hilarious. The second one was...okay, funny again, really? Meh. But the third one was just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
