Stop being such a whiny little pussy. You could star in season 3.

Twat you say? I could be a star? :awe:

I think you are helping me to understand why NY city really wants to ban Big Gulps, because NYers don't have enough self control to keep your big mouths shut unless your nanny state helps you, just like rent control, otherwise most of NY would be homeless bums with no affordable place to stay. :colbert:

Meh, I don't think it's that bad. There are definitely some times I want to punch a character in the face but that's every TV show.

I'm very difficult to entertain. But mostly it's campy and clichéd like other women's dramas. See other responses above.

Heaven forbid someone not like a popular television show.

Season 1 was great. As far as Netflix series' are concerned, I enjoyed it more than House of Cards. In fact, I couldn't make it through season 1 of HOC, but binge watched OITNB in a few days.

That said, I just saw the Jodie Foster directed first episode of season 2 of OITNB and thought it was pretty annoying.

Based on your Hello Kitty avatar, I'm guessing you're possibly female?

Other than that, she goes with her friends, while I usually go by myself (which may seem strange to some people, it's something that I've enjoyed doing since the mid 80s).
I'm with you on that. Go to the movies all the time by myself. It's better that way. It's not a social event.

Then send her over to my house. I've got a widescreen and condoms.

I could never understand people who (had to) ask their spouse to watch something with them.

How about sex? Do you do that with her, or do you prefer to be alone? :biggrin:

How could you not like it? It has Janeway in it.

Do you have beef with Janeway?

OP, just let the air out of your "girlfriend" next time and put her back under your bed until later.

Show is bad. I watched most of the first season waiting for something good when it first came out, but it just continued to be terrible. Chick series, for sure, even though I don't even understand how a chick could like it.

The only thing this show was good for was a conversation with this hot checkout girl I came across a couple of months ago. She was talking to the lady in front of me about this show, so I used it as an opportunity to bring up that it was bad (not joking, I told her the show sucked), then we started conversing about the other Netflix original series. I only had 10 items or so, but it was a good starter; the conversation was leading somewhere, but this old fart behind me in line cockblocked me after we kept talking once I got my receipt. I can't really blame him since it was a grocery store checkout line and he may have been in a hurry, but I think he should have done the right thing and taken one for the team.

Anyways, Hemlock Grove started out like a chick series, but at least started to get better towards the end. This show, not so much.

it's OK, GF also said 'we should watch it' .. could be worse, could be true blood ;)

Oh year. My wife and I only made through season 3 of True Blood before we both got sick of it. I think that it was episode with the secret underground bunker and the "iStake" that finally did it in for us.

I watched season 1 of True Blood. It's like Twilight, except the bad writing is intentional.
