TV Shows!

Watching anything cool? Here's what I'm watching, spoilers after the break. Thank god the fall line up is kicking in to gear heh. Whew. Before the lineup, read fantastic news somewhere that hbo is going to be the first of the stubborn networks to offer a individual subscription service for their shows. And then I believe cbs announced their decision to do the same the next day.

Its about time. I respect cable networks and other providers for what they've offered us for the last hundred or so years but welcome to the new century. You have to understand by now that no one wants to pay 200 a month for 500 channels they have no interest in watching just so they can get the 3 channels they do want. Hulu / Netflix paved the way for change, I know these providers like comcast and metrocast and others will say its going to cost jobs or somesuch when folks abandon their payment method and go to hulu / netflix but guys, we've been screaming for YEARS for you to just offer a payment system that works like the following :

. I go to your site, I hit subscribe.
. I see a master list of all 1000 channels or how ever many you have.
. I check box click all the ones I want, each channel has a individual dollar amount per month cost.
. I hit check out, bam.

Hulu in particular wouldn't exist right now if the traditional provider companies had adopted the above system 10 years ago so anytime someone tells me that I'm costing people their lively hoods I reply, "No I'm not, its the provider companies who are by not adapting to the times." Its no different than blockbuster / netflix. If blockbuster had opened its eyes, realised that mail delivery / digital streaming was the future we would all have blockbuster monthly subscriptions and not netflix. Dosen't matter that netflix did it first, if blockbuster had jumped on right at the very very beginning alongside netflix they would of dominated due to customer loyalty so long as they didn't do anything stupid. But stupid isnt something we had to worry about, they never even tried.

So yea, comcast, metrocast, etc. You all are endangering the livelyhoods of your employees and you stubborn networks that refuse to step away from these providers stubborness, your endangering yours as well.

-steps off soapbox-

Don't know where that came from, guess its just something I've wanted to say for awhile. But anyways here's the break and beyond it is my show lineup with a brief 'whats going on' for each.

TV Recap : Supernatural

Plot advancement, background enlightenment and Crowley after the break heh.

Whats on TV

Caught up on my shows.

Supernatural : Best episode of this season yet, everyones their very best you find out exactly who the angel is who is in Sam, why this angel was in prison too. Crowley is hilarious, useful and proves that hell still fears him, with good reason.

Revolution : Good episode, story progresses all round.

Family Guy and Simpsons were both boring.

Sleepy Hollow : Find out why the misfit sister was in prison all those years, find out how connection to this whole mess and witness this shows take on exorcisms. Very cool special effects...

Agents of Shield : Character development, story progression, worth watching.

Dracula : AWESOME! Go watch it!

Almost Human : Hilarious and great, solid episode!

There we go, kept the spoilers out and gave my recommendations. Go watch all of them on hulu except family guy and simpsons, those were really boring.

What I'm up to... (tv shows)

Bit of tv shows, lot of gaming, you know... the important stuff. Just a quick warning before you read any further. I don't see any form of 'spoiler' tag / block / hiding options on blogger.com so don't read any further unless you want a whole lot of spoilers.

TV Shows and my thoughts on them
. Supernatural. Angels are staking territory on earth, alot of bloodshed and Castel is angel powered once again. I still think this series is going to end with Sam and Dean rebreaking the seal on the prison holding Micheal and Lucifer and then Lucifer is going to deal with his side while Micheal reopens heaven. Dosent matter what 'spell' is keeping heaven's doors closed, Right hand of God has probably got the chutzpah to kick it down. As for Crowley, I think he's intentionally tapping the prophets blood to gain abit of forsight.
. Revolution. I see they figured a non spirital way of explaining Aaron's new found powers and I figured it likely that the little bots would of found some form of self intelligence. I watch this show lightly to be honest, way to many side swapping and whatnot going on. I think their still trying to refind the awesome that was the last two episodes of season one.
. The Following. Nuff said. I can't wait to see how they top season one.
. Family Guy. Everyone needs a good laugh hah! They say they always intended for Brian to come back, I think the public's negative outcry regarding Brian's death forced the show to do a 180.
. Sleepy Hollow. Icabod finds out what became of his son though given Icabod's ability to get up out of a grave and whatnot suggests his Son will reappear in the series at some point. They released a golem, they killed the golem, the golem killed pretty much everyone who ever wronged Icabod's son first.
. Agents of Shield. Well thats one hell of a holiday season end, can't WAIT to see Colsen's 'death/ressurection' explained. Loved the turn around of the villian from the first episode, hope the stabilized syrum in him was enough to keep him in one piece during the explosion...
. Arrow. More dc comic super heroes abound woot! Psst, the geek is flash. Alot of Arrows past comes to light whether he likes it or not, I believe we now know the outcome of everyone from his flashbacks. Finally someone gave Arrow a mask, bout time.
. Dracula. I am really loving the scheming an plotting going on in this series! Its interesting watching familiar characters in a fresh original take on the story. Just watched latest episode today, pretty much Dracula/Grayson's entire world gets tossed on its head from his persuit of humanity, refusal to entertain his vampire side, the Order's total shutdown of Grayson's free energy scheme (well played btw, order. well played) and Mina. Mina... man.
. Almost Human. The show continues to impress and Dorian manages to prove just how annoying he can be. Good twists, solid episode.
. The Simpsons. I watch it out of habit, isn't nearly as funny as it was a dozen seasons ago though.
. South Park. Confession, prior to two weeks ago I had only watched three episodes of this show, ever. The World of Warcraft one, the Facebook one and the Guitar Hero one. After I read about the xboxone vs ps4 three parter where the kids choose sides and went to war Game of Thrones style I've sense watched this entire season and am now working on the season before.

Those are what I'm actively watching on hulu. Sure there are other greats out there, but not available on hulu so bummer.
