Obviously I should be doing work right now, but, in true wickedfire fashion, I'm going to post rants about the state of current TV.
Shows these days are just crap. I mean, really crappy. Mostly because the storylines are just garbage and have no depth. Without further ado, here's my rant:
1. Shark Tank
I used to really like this show, but, after the latest unholy implementation of the T-mobile and "famous face" plug, it's obvious this show doesn't give two shits about finding great deals to let the sharks fight over. It's just plug and promotion. It's crap. :boid:
2. Revolution
I gave this show a legitimate shot. I really did. I thought, "Ok, so the whole world loses power, maybe they won't make this terrible." Mediocre acting aside, their implementation of the entire basis for the story (world losing power) is just complete crap. "Ok, whole world loses power! Why? We don't know! Alien necklaces make power, but guy who creates it decides to live as a Green Acres farmer instead of trying to do anything with it!" It's just stupid. Not only have they failed to back up their story of the whole world losing power with some half-believable scientific theory to make it more enticing, but they have one "bad guy turned good" who can dodge bullets and take on 20v1 and win without a scratch. It's crap. :boid:
3. Alphas
This one started out pretty interesting. Sort of like x-men with the natural evolution of humans to develop powers. But, their search for the Perish guy and the lackluster presentation of people with powers has made this show turn to shit. Just this long, drawn-out, never ending chase for this stupid immortal guy while they are like "Ho-hum, just use my power against this guys power, yawn. Everyone has powers, so normal." It's turned to crap. :boid:
4. Kitchen Nightmares
I'm a Gordon fan for sure, but these people are just damned retarded. The show looks more and more scripted every time I watch it. The restaurant owners always have to butt heads with Ramsey (wtf, if they didn't want his advice and guidance they wouldn't have called him to begin with). Then, there's someone who's lost his passion for food that Gordon has to give a "rebirth" to who breaks down in tears. Finally, Gordon gives them a successful 1 night re-launch. What they don't show you, is that you can't learn how to run a restaurant in a week and that the only ones that don't crash and burn are the ones who immediately sell for profit after all that publicity. The rest go right back to not knowing wtf they are doing and probably file bankruptcy shortly after. :boid:
5. Scandal
Not a bad show. Really getting sick of the "omg I'm in love with you, my heart hurts" between the President and the Fixer. Just get back to the drama and the conspiracy please, thanks. They need to kick their writers in the ass, however. I think everyone and their brother knew that the contractor and the wife were having an affair in the first 5 minutes of the show (S2 episode 5).
6. Grey's Anatomy
9 seasons? Are you kidding me? :boid:
7. Revenge
Premise was interesting (chick infiltrating the social elite through immense preparation and wit), but the drawn out, new housewives drama filler crap completely ruined this show after a few episodes. Cancel this garbage please. :boid:
8. Arrow
Not bad. Has some potential if they don't screw it up.
9. Fringe
Another show that should have ended after the 2nd season. It's so damned drawn out now that no one knows what the hell is going on in this show. It's stupid. Cancel it. :boid:
10. Beauty and The Beast
The Smallville girl is on this one (she doesn't age! wtf?) Still not sure how I feel about this one, but it's so damned predictable. They really need to beef up the story instead of having this mutant guy just save her ass every episode. It's dumb. :boid:
11. Castle
Moderately amusing.
12. Once Upon a Time
1st season was pretty good. 2nd season isn't too bad, but they're dangerously close to tipping into the realm of being crappy. Overall it's a good show so far. Their clever implementation of storybook characters is pretty appealing.
13. Bones
Horrible. :boid::boid::boid::boid::boid::boid::boid::boid::boid::boid:
14. Last Resort
Awesome show so far. As long as they don't screw up the ending (or draw out the sub hijacking for 10 seasons) this one will be pretty good overall.
15. Chicago Fire
I mean, really? Really!? :throwup:Your stereotypical drama. Beefy Guys and Good looking girls who fight fires and save lives. But, their personal demons and all the screwing in the firehouse make life hard for pretty people. It's crap. :boid::boid::boid:
Anyway, I've succeeded in wasting more of my life in STS. Enjoy bros.
