I hope this English club(s) will respect football for once and play a wonderful game instead of their usual "park the bus with Trailers" approach and waiting for opportunistic counter-attacks..
Anyway,MES QUE UN CLUB!!

If you do then why? If not, why as well. I believe in karma because I have seen so many cases of horrible people suffering some form of misery or misfortune because of their lifestyles, karma may not come in the form of obvious badluck that is easily seen. Karma could be in form of the constant dissatisfaction or lack of inner peace a person feels. It could be in form of a person consistently failing to get something they crave, it could be in many forms in short.

There is nothing like karma..
You can be a bad person and die happily..
You can be a good person and die horribly..In fact,most of the time,good people die unhappy,violently and horribly..
Nature does not recognise "evil or good" as both are mere terms describing certain perceived human actions..
What is good or bad,right or wrong is subjective;and what the society recognises as good is just a collective opinion shared by people with similar views!
Its as simple as that!!
If you want to ascertain why things happen the way it happens to good and bad people,using the "KARMA JUSTICE SYSTEM" is as good as believing that SUPERMAN exists..
Peace!!

Finally! A maturely constructed argument. It's a refreshing feeling.
^^
You were right on the fact people can watch shows from other network and still enjoy the ones from The CW, but that wasn't the point I tried to make in my earlier post. Sure, some adults enjoy watching The CW, but when you dig deep, something jumps out at you, something so consistent that it mustn't be ignored. Something called "sentiments". Most adults stick to The Present CW shows based on their past affiliations. Shows like Smallville and Supernatural drew in a lot of Adult audience for the CW - I for one still enjoy Supernatural - and some didn't jump ship even when Smallville wrapped up. What they did instead was to transfer their affections and loyalty to the newer CW productions no matter how absurd they (the shows) were. But that's BTW.

The point I tried to make was this: The CW shows - most of them anyway - are not memorable or comparable to shows from other networks. Someone in his/her right mind couldn't possibly and honestly compare Reign with Vikings. The chereoghapy and presentations alone in Vikings put Reign to Shame. Do you know why? Reign, atypically - being a CW show and all - rely on heavy use of CGI, while Vikings took the Broadway approach - the right approach. Okay let's look at the 100 and the short lived Revolution.What does the former had that the later doesn't. Simple: Revolution is actually believable, and backed up with sound scientific credibility. If Revolution was a CW show, believe me, it would have become their greatest hit show ever! But then again, being The CW, they would have prolly ruined it anyway.

NBC is a struggling network that has long history of axing promising shows, but there is one thing you can't take from them, they know how to make hit shows - good television. Their shows are almost always quite memorable. Even today, "Heroes" is still fresh in our respective minds. The quality of their shows is as such that it's adviceable you enjoy 'em while they last, cuz you never know when they might yank off the chain. NBC may be unreliable, but at least, they keep the masses entertained with strongly written and executed TV shows.

Fans of the CW can rave and praise their favorite shows to the high heavens for all I care, but they should always endeavor to remember and understand that their darling shows wouldn't pass muster and heavy scrutiny. That's all.

I get you...
The thing is, most cw shows are too childish..Then again,you have been saying that they have a set demographic population they target..So,the difference is clear..
If they were to have another set of demographic population ( say 27-45),would their storylines and production techniques be the same?
Despite its popularity and fame,I couldn't continue watching Merlin(stopped in S2 or so) cuz it was becoming too childish for my liking..
I had to stop watching TVD in early S02 cuz,cuz apparently,the show directors lost it..
I couldn't get past episode two of REIGN...
But it doesn't mean others don't enjoy them or that I should start criticising them..Its just choice...
I couldn't watch TWD again cuz I watched WORLD WAR Z(you know,quality zombies..not those awful gully looking wretched things in TWD)..But yet,TWD is like a culture to many TV show lovers...
Just understand that it is choice..
I had to finish watching the LEFTOVERS just bcus I saw Christopher Eccleston in the show..just like I will watch any show that Morena Baccarin is in..I had to stop myself from watching HOMELAND S04 cuz Brody is dead(didn't see any reason to continue watching it again)...
The point am making here is,its really disrespectful and rude referring to people who watch certain TV shows in demeaning manner.....
Thats why i took you up on the other thread..Its not that I have anything against you!!

koice:
Yeah, the CW is now all about SFF (Science Fantasy Fiction), most of whom have no real scientific backing. It mixes fact with so much fantasy that poor guys like don't stand a chance. Just see how you were quick to reference it's shows as melting pot of scientific illustrations! You couldn't be more wrong. The 100 is chock full of scientific fallacies that an Adult that doesn't see 'em needs psychological help.

That's why I tell my friends to watch SYFY/Showcase TV shows whenever they have an urge to watch something sciencey and enthralling. Ever heard of Continum? Very educative as well as entertaining. Battlestar Galactica? Leant so much from watching that series. The Sanctuary? As sciencey as they come while it plays with your mind. Stargate Atlantis? Learnt so much about space travels and the exciting possibilities. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to learn anything from The CW's version of SFF till date.

The CW only excite those that don't know any better. I don't get a rise of any kind myself. Whenever I try to watch an episode for the purpose of review, I usually try to get through it by scanning past a lot of monotonous, boring scenes. The CW shows don't make one think, neither do they really excite. Fight scenes lack real coordination and professionalism, one thing becomes clear instantly from watching one. They rely more on CGIs than an artistic approach. Never seen a great memorable fight scene from the stables of The CW till date, no siree! The dialogues are a joke. Education wise, it's pathetic. You won't learn new words or terms from watching shows produced by The CW. Blood and gore wise and real life situations are lost on The CW shows. You don't see a traditional bloody scenes neither can you relate to the fantasy influenced characters and actions.

The CW is a lightweight and it's shows are beyond ridiculous. That's just the way it is.

You know,I finally get what your problem is...
What you fail to understand here is that despite watching CW shows,it still doesn't stop anyone from watching shows from syfy or HBO or ABC or Showtime or AMC or Cinemax...
I remember when I was kid that I used to watch ROSWELL.Then,it was a TV show to me that I really followed,but now,I can't watch it again,but does that I mean I should now start insulting anybody who didn't watch it then and is watching it now?
Like I have been telling u all along,I don't think there is any TV show u have watched that I havent watched.....but I will always watch cw shows that get my attention..
Talking of CONTINUUM,it is a really good show which I followed ( still following) and I don't think it is any difference from other Time travel films ( I don't think any series will ever top Doctor Who on that one)..In the past,I wouldn't have even followed CONTINUUM cuz two of its main characters would have been distasteful to me(one is a teenager and one is a female)...The more reason I look at 12 Monkeys as a joke!!
I followed "the Sanctuary",but I couldn't continue cuz I have not really developed that taste of Female lead characters in shows(movies are exceptions) then....
You keep saying NBC cut Crisis due to fan flop or budget, but since I knew NBC,that's their character..Most of the shows they cancel would have better found its way to other networks and gotten better development...That's why I will always advice people to stay away from NBC shows, cuz they will always break Ur heart..I decided to follow GRIMM cuz its in its fourth season now and still airing(and am enjoying the show)
.....
The bottom line here is,that you can't continue watching watching cw shows doesn't mean that others should..
99% of us here are not direct fans(I mean we mostly download this shows or buy the pirated copies) including you and i...
So stop all this fuss bro,there is nothing to it!!

Haters are gonna have a field day/week..

parrotibaba:
Hey ppl ,u need to cool ya heels ,dia is something called demographic targets ...The CW apparently sets it's targets on teens n it's paying off ,u don't hv to be an a$$ about dat ,it's about d investment returns ,HBO targets d adults so if u love dia shows ,why don't u stick with HBO? it's not dat hard is it? The shows on The CW also attracts adults who also watch these shows n of course supernatural has d highest adult fan base in CW ...We should also remember dat d CW is below d likes of HBO ,NBC n ABC but de r trying to catch up to dem n make cash d same time ...even ABC is towing d "teens" line with shows like "Agent carter" , "Agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D" ,upcoming "AKA Jessica Jon" ,"Daredevil" n so on. Look at d highest grossing movies in cinemas ,de r all marvel n DC comics movies dat r meant for tweens n teens ...so it's a matter of choice n @op u don't hv to castigate an adult watching TV shows like "The 100" or "The vampire diaries" just cos u don't like dem ,like u said "it's ur opinion" n u shouldn't trample upon other ppl's opinions in order to elevate urs ....#peace

Bro,please don't waste your time!
Some peoples inferiority complex is simply too pathetic to dabble in!!
Its a case of a sadist trying to infest other people with it!

joywendy:
Lol EPIC

Yea..

DrDre1:
U almost infected me with the bug of calling him Loki. U won't want the thing to stop once u start watching. The writers know how to leave one hanging out to dry at the end of each episode. Same thing with Black Sails. Bunch of wicked people

Forgive me bro...I just can't help it!

khanivorous:
WORD

Any adult following that crappy THE 100...needs psyche evaluation

CW is for teen... Try HBO, showtime, cinemax and AMC for real mature tv shows

Please list the shows by this networks u r referring to dear!!

sebod:
Nice article!

yea!

penzino:
seconded

u r welcome!!

Krasid:
That's why he is boring.

Bro,your own hating is childish! You talk like all this kids that stay on street corners arguing blatantly and unintelligibly!!

RayMcBlue:
I didn't run away mate, quite unlike you I have a business to run. I'd been a silent observer for a while, and I must say Koice made a lot of sense, you're an ediot. Now, run along little boy and stop begging for attention.

And here he comes,answering my wake up like the plagiarist he is!!
Your own case is pathetic!!
I wonder when u started observing as against copying and posting other peoples work u copied from other forums(posing it as yours) thinking that no one will know!!
Ekuke!!
Why won't u be sympathetic with koice? he is Ur brother in crime!!

This series is really getting more bloody by the day..
Y'all need to see this epic deception in EP13!
And finally,tighten your seatbelt and prepare for the epic battle!
Bellamy: War is Coming!
....
My take is,They should create another epic battle better than the one of season 1...

Mutaino7:
am alrite....U don finally relocate to movie section nii?

Lol...
I have been here for quite a long time bro...Just that I rarely comment!!

Mutaino7:

How far?

Apparently, someone is running away after being made(Just like the other dude Raymacblue)!!

DrDre1:
lol...the guy is a complete nutcase. I wonder how his mind works. Strange thing is the way he mixes spirituality with his madness. Whoever developed that character is doing a good job. The actor himself deserves kudos for interpreting the character so well. U need to watch him in this latest episode. Imagine someone running happily with so much glee towards war and possible death.

@bolded...Lol..
That's floki(or Loki as I always prefer to call him) for you!!
Gotta download it this weekend!!

PAUL SCHOLES POEM ON MESSI:

Updated:08:06, 20 February 2015It was a moment I will never forget. He went past me, I stuck out my leg and Lionel Messi went over. This was at Old Trafford in 2008 in the second leg of our Champions League semi-final against Barcelona and, with the score 1-0 to us, I had fouled him in our area.When I think about our win over Barcelona in that game, on our way to the second Champions League title of the Sir Alex Ferguson era, I always remember that tackle. Yes, I scored theonly goal of the tie, and it was one of my better ones. But I will never forget that couple of seconds when the best footballer in the world deceived me into fouling him and I waited for the world to fall in.It should have been a penalty to Barcelona, and an away goal would have won them the tie. But for some reason the referee didn’t give it, the game moved on and even Messi did not make much of a fuss. The relief was overwhelming for a few moments – and then I was back into the game.He got his own back in the end. I faced Messi four times in my career, twice over the two legs in 2008 and then, as a substitute, in the Champions League finals of 2009 and 2011, when Barcelona beat us comfortably both times. Messi is back in Manchester next week, to face Manchester City again in the Champions League round of 16, and it is never a bad day when you can watch one of the best footballers ever pull on a pair of boots.There have been so many superlatives to describe Messi’s career that you find yourself just adding to the pile of words about him. So these are some ofthe little things that you learn when you play against the man himself which you might not see on the television. First off, he never speaks onthe pitch. In fact, I don’t think I ever heard him say a word. Second, you won’t believe how strong he is for a little man.I am not ashamed to admit that in the games against Barcelona I spent a lot of the time just hoping he would take up positions as far away from me as possible.Elusive is the word that immediately springs to mind when I think about Messi’s style of play. You think you have an eye on him and then – blink – he has gone, only to reappear somewhere else in space, with the ball. When you try to face up to him and make a tackle you know what it is he is going to do with the ball. The problem is staying with him.He avoids the highs and lows of football. You rarely see him go over thetop in a goal celebration, just as he never gets too downhearted. That’s a quality I think that I shared when I wasa player. The game changes so quicklyand you have to get yourself in a position mentally where you can deal with whatever is thrown at you.I have never seen a United performance with such a high level of concentration as when we beat Barcelona at Old Trafford. For every second of that game, and the first leg at the Nou Camp, we had to be aware of our positioning, of the dangers they posed and our shape as a team as a whole. We spent the whole week working on it with Sir Alex and the staff. We knew exactly what we shouldbe doing at all times. Then we had to do it over two games.The two finals were different. In preparation, we thought less about them and more about what we could do. We had Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney for the first one in Rome and we believed we could hurt them. Perhaps we underestimated them.When you prepare to play Barcelona you go through the usual weaknesses. Gerard Pique lacks a bit of pace. JavierMascherano is not really a centre-half (the position he played in 2011). But you can only exploit those weaknesseswhen you have the ball. We had 37 per cent possession in the 2011 game and we were used to having a lot more.There was never any specific plan to deal with Messi, simply that whoever was nearest picked him up. Rio Ferdinand had two great games against him in 2008 but no one keeps him quiet every time. As a finisher, there are few players as composed as Messi. When you can score as many different kinds of goal as he can, you have every reason to be confident.People say that I played under pressure, as a Manchester boy at United where we were expected to win every week. But it is nothing comparedto the pressure Messi is under, and Cristiano too. They go a game without scoring a goal and people want to know why. Not just fans either but former players who should know better. We expect it of them now and that they keep doing it is incredible.Messi is as famous as any footballer has ever been and yet, when it comes down to it, we don’t know much about him. I read that he is a family man, andlikes to walk his dogs, but beyond that he’s a mystery really. I like that. Especially these days, when people’s feelings about every issue are there to be read on Twitter or wherever. Keep something of yourself back. It is a strength.I am looking forward to seeing him play at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesdayand if City want a result then their concentration and focus will have to be as good as it has ever been to makesure they are in the right place at the right time for 90 minutes. It only takes a second for that little No 10 to trick you into doing something daft. And you can’t always rely on the ref not to see it.

DrDre1:
Yes! The waiting period has been killing. Loki is completely crazy. How do u explain someone running away from happiness in his marriage? He's angry because his wife is too good.

Lol...you just summarised Loki...
Towards the ending of Season2,I thought he would have betrayed his people oooo..But,he didn't...
I loved him more for that!!

seribroo56:
lols funny tortoise, since he endured for 99years what is 1year..

Hmmmmm..Dr Wells eeh!!
That man really has more things up his sleeves...
By the way,"its GRODD.....not GOOD GOD!"...
Lol!!

DrDre1:

Darey00:
it has come to that. people using TV shows to brag about their intellectual level. smh.just smh

You dey mind that olodo!!

koice:
Nah, I don't think so. The Mentalist is one of the shows that I follow every week and I'm pretty certain the CBS drama hasn't reached the 12 episode of it's currently airing 7th season (it's currently at the 9th episode).

koice:
You were right. Just checked www.watchseries.ag. Apparently, I haven't been paying enough attention to the drama to have missed so much!!
Download mode activated. Thanks a bunch.

@bolded,pals,be the judge of that!!
A braggart will always be a braggart..Like I said earlier,all of the time,they are empty vessels!!
No matter how careful u try to be,you will always be found..
.

its just time!!

seribroo56:
hmmmmmm what happened to the tortoise in the proverb

He was given a hundred years sentence and locked up in a room that smells like hell(the worst smell ever)..He served 99yrs,and just a year to go to be released,He now started complaining of how rotten and smelly the room is,that he can't continue to bear such!!

Just added WAREHOUSE 13 to my watch list...
Not for folks who are accustomed to watching slow paced bored up dramas though!!

toluh:
@koice and philfearon, i like both of you (weird right?). i like your different views on TV series. but please lets not argue over this, agree to disagree. we all have different reasons why we like or watch TV series.

Alright...
Funnily,I always have this feeling that anyone who joined Nairaland before me is either my elder,close to age with me or same age bracket....If u understand what I mean.
So,respect!!
But don't mind the entity called koice,I have dealt with boggarts and braggarts like him before;and all of the times,they are always empty vessels!!

Lol...I can't help but laugh out loud!! Dude is trying hard to show just how good he is in TV shows Lol,like I give a damn about how boring your growing up was or whether you watched teen dramas or adult dramas or not..Does it look like I care..
Your problem is,you think every other person should love same TV shows u love just because u read some reviews and it was rated good..There is what is called "taste",and it will always be subjective..Yours can never be good enough for everybody!!
Just so u don't keep deluding yourself,I will do u the honour of giving u 20 list of TV shows that may suffice as my best for now(that I can remember anyway) and you know the type of shows that get my attention:
1)13:The Conspiracy
2)The Event
3)Smallville
4)Heroes
5)Supernatural
6)The Gates
7)Spartacus
Legend of the Seeker
9)Banshee
10)Game of Thrones
11)Flashforward
12)Death Note
13)Doctor Who
14)True Detective
15)Human Target
16)Da Vinci's Demons
17)House of Cards
18)Vikings
19)Revolution
20)Undercover...
....Our taste can never be the same..Do yourself a favour,start attending Psychology classes,cuz Ur mentality need to be re-evaluated!!
Have a nice day!!
