Oh. Maybe they did. Still weak given they will have a huge built-in audience already from TWD.

Generally speaking, the fewer, the better for TV shows, though.

That's absurd.

If the story is good, who gives a shit?

TV is doing more right (across the board) than film is right now. Everything should be on TV.

Correct statement.

Do you watch Hannibal?

Not yet, unfortunately. It's on my short list.

do i need to talk about how i don't care about story again?

what i'm saying is that very rarely is an extended amount of episodes necessary, intuitive, or helpful to a dramatic show. it's one thing if it's totally episodic, with each episode exploring a totally new them or narrative through the same characters, but one drawn-out narrative often becomes just that over too much time.

He's right, LV. TV is kicking movie's ass at the moment.

It's the objective truth, verm. If you're too fucking stupid to understand it, that's your fault.

LV, I could easily list 10 TV shows that I would rather watch than most of your (or mine) top 25 movies of the past two years.

I can't have this conversation again. I just can't do it. It's been discussed to death. Let's just leave it at I can barely even bring myself to watch ANY dramatic TV shows in today's climate, and I don't think TV as a whole is doing anything as well as movies in any way that isn't totally superficial and meretricious.

What? Just an eye-roll? What the fuck is that?

Not at all. It's just in conflict with your own opinion. So you're being a shithead about it. There is literally not a film out there I would rather watch than anything in the movie theaters right now.

TV is by far and away the superior medium.

Nobody knows what that word means.

Dude. No medium can ever be "objectively" better than any other. We're talking about art, here. This is all subjective. And I really hope you're trolling by saying I'm just "too stupid" to understand, because based on our previous discussions, I don't think you actually consider me stupid or a shithead.
