Did anyone watch season 2 of American Horror Story? I never got around to it, and several people have told me it got weird, without saying how it got weird. A few people even gave up on it because of how weird it got. Is it worth watching?

It was dark and kind of all over the place with the plots, but I liked it.

I've been kinda enjoying the more recent Dexter episodes...although I do agree that the plotlines are sort of just...mashed together with weak glue.

I personally just find Hannah boring, I don't see what she offers asides from the "omg maybe dexter isnt a horrible person" thing. I really like Vogel though, I find her to be quite an interesting character

So....anyone else watch Sleepy Hollow?

I liked it, quite a bit. I was very impressed with the acting and story so far. I've watched it multiple times and the part with the mirror gets me every single time.

I was also horribly amused by the tumblr reaction to the show. As several people were quick to point out, Sleepy Hollow is proof a show cast with mainly POC can succeed. It was Fox's biggest debut drama in six years.

I have to say, the most annoying thing about Dexter so far is the computers. Specifically the way they beep and bloop as through they're from the early 80's. Why, exactly is this a thing? Is it supposed to make the haven't-touched-a-computer-since-1980 demographic feel more comfortable with the show? Do the writers not realise that we've advanced a little further than PC Speaker sound effects in the past thirty years?

Aaahh, this is one of the most annoying things ever, and this is annoying in all television programs, even films.

This is also annoying with video games in popular media, where I swear every video game to these writers is that disastrous port of Pac-Man for the Atari 2600.

This, and all this is starting to become another set of Pet Peeve Tropes of mine.

Oh thank fuck I'm not the only one to notice

That was without a doubt the most ridiculous show I've seen in a long time. It's not fair to call it a drama, it's clearly a comedy, even if they were aiming for drama. I may keep watching so long as I can laugh at the absurdity of it.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, but that show totally killed suspension of disbelief for me.

I haven't seen the finale yet, but the way the season has been going, I'm expecting it to suck.

I liked it too, thought it was clever and fun.

I'm fairly certain Cartoon Network just locks their writers in a room with various illicit substances and jots down their out of their skull ramblings.
