No, more like. "WTF is so mental about our society now that all we do is deal with our depressing reality than fantasize and escape a little bit?"

 

[Dostoevsky]

Reality is depressing only if your mental state is. So, realistically, you don't need an escape but entertainment.

I usually don't like watching shows that are on going because when I'm finished I have to wait 1 year for the next season... There are two on going shows I'm currently watching and those are Better Call Saul and Game of Thrones.

Shows I've seen:

The Wire
Breaking Bad
The Sopranos
Oz
The Pacific
Game of Thrones
Band of Brothers
Generation Kill
Deadwood
Boardwalk Empire
Entorauge
How I Met Your Mother
Married with... children
Better Call Saul
Lost

See, Allegri is not the only one I love.

You should add Hannibal to your list.

And if you're a double, great work on fleshing out the character of your alter ego

But do you really need a ridiculous mask, cape and tights packaged in an animal theme to achieve that?

He should add Fullmetal Alchemist eventhough it's anime.

He should also add Firefly and X-Files! Speaking of X-Files, I hear we're getting new stuff in the summer and even a new book is out as far as I know.

I look at it objectively, and it is so depressing that it changed my mental state. You can't look at all the massacres happening around the world abs think it's all good.

All that is superficial. Anything that is doesn't from reality is all you need.

But there's nothing new about that.

On the other hand, not all people are depressive, which makes it an individual issue IMO.

Hollywood in the 1930s was complete escapism from the Great Depression. Then it was about grand musicals and people with lots of money.

Rarely did they need to cling to the superficial trappings of some guy in tights pretending to be a skunk in order to achieve that escapism. If it's superficial, than why bother with the whole charade to begin with? You just make your heroes look like performers in a gay nightclub.

Liked the first season but Andy Whitfield's death bothered me so much that I didn't want to continue anymore.

Yeah, that was really horrible. It actually took me quite a while to get used to new char in the show but it did pay off. I liked it and it was pretty great so I think you're missing out.

Exactly. There's nothing new with reality in that aspect. At least comics tell better stories. And if you look at the fan following, it's clearly captivating a large audience.

My point is that instead of complaining about why we need to read stories about people in tights, try to look at the emotional need that it caters to in its audience. Maybe then you'll see why done people like it.

I miss Banshee, when is it starting again?

Hopefully writers get kidnapped and show never continues.

That's only because I'm soft and don't want people dead.

Wait til like start of next year bro.

Greg is just mad he still has to wait another week to watch GoT.

Hannibal is on my list, don't worry. I'm just waiting for it to finish first. One show I can't wait til I start with is Homeland. Really looking forward to it.

And don't worry, I'm no double.

agree, the finale really propelled the show to the top
