What shows are you watching?

[Lock Jaw]

There has long been talk of an "Ayer Cut" that..... well, it is probably still bad, but the Snyder Cut people want it cause his "vision" was severely chopped/re-edited in attempts to "Guardians of the Galaxy"fy it.....

Then they just said F it and got the actually director of Guardians for the sequel :lol:

[Seanny One Ball]

Wake me up when “The Day The Clown Cried” is ready for release. I think I only have to wait thirty years.

[Seanny One Ball]

Next year apparently…

Holy shit, it’s going to be terrible.

[Destor]

Then they just said F it and got the actually director of Guardians for the sequel :lol:just wanna say, because i enjoy saying this, that the snyder cut was demonstrably shown to be fueled by bots in a warner ad campaign to drum up business for max

[Lock Jaw]

I think it was augmented by bots for sure, but there do seem to be a sizable group of people who do seem to genuinely enjoy Zack Snyder.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hahaha “Define wildfire?”

This show is definitely not on par.

[Seanny One Ball]

Zach Snyder sucks at anything beyond straight action with stern faces. He doesn’t do anything else well.

[Seanny One Ball]

Man alive is the philosophical flip flopping in “Gen V” hard on my ears and brain. This is a “Should I kill Hitler?” moment. I should have stopped watching when the minuscule broad climbed that cock but I assumed it would contain some greatness. It has had some moments that flirted with genius, but it is just a kids show with bad words and bare bottoms in it.

I’m now worried that this will bleed into “The Boys”.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hmmm the ending was a lot better than I expected, I am glad that it all went tits at the crescendo. I wish they hadn’t had so many lame side-stories though. That less annoying blonde whore became truly insufferable by the end, her whole arc is just troughs, the peaks are only hitting the median and it makes me think even less of sad bastard extroverts. If you want to be a sad bastard, be an introvert and lean right into it so that the world doesn’t feel disturbed by your shit show.

[Lock Jaw]

On to Season 5 of Star Trek: TNG....

[Seanny One Ball]

“Lawmen: Bass Reeves” is finally streaming.
El Vaquero and Drave this is another very specific Western by Taylor Sheridan so you will want to see it at some point.
I have seen one episode, it looks and feels like it will head in the right direction, it was allegedly going to join the Yellowstone/1883 universe but Sheridan decided against it in pursuit of a more faithful and coherent storyline. Already he is mixing fact with supposition and it is a sight to see.

The cast in the first episode is lead by three actors who have all earned an will likely deliver a career masterpiece. Barry Pepper in particular, he really has had a long and storied career. It’s just excellent casting to put him up against Oyelowo and to put Oyelowo up with Wigham earlier. I imagine the series follows Oyelowo as he tracks Pepper given the circumstances of the opener, but it’s a weekly 8-parter so it has plenty of hours left to go.

I’m watching episode 2 tonight, if it isn’t spectacular I will be surprised.

Taylor Sheridan is an industry on his own.

[Seanny One Ball]

Dennis Quaid is playing as far against type as it could be in this second episode, he’s going to get an Emmy.

[Seanny One Ball]

“I hit another white man…”

That should have been the trailer.

[Seanny One Ball]

Yeah spoiler alert: it’s excellent

[Blonde Moment]

Can't decide what to watch first so I decided to bounce between this and
Blue Eye Samurai

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I just watched Blue Eye Samurai. Not really ever been into Anime but it was pretty fuckin dope.

Saw the trailer after finishing 1883.

Yellowstone has been a bit of a slog, honestly. We've not even finished the 1st season. It's okay, it just isn't the same. This looks promising, however.

[Seanny One Ball]

It is rough and tumble fare, a big boy TV show for men with evolved hearts.

David Oyelowo is ripped, so ladies may enjoy it too.

Thanks for this; its now on my favourites. Once the whole season is available, I'll watch it.

You’ll enjoy it, it’s everything that Sheridan does well.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched that dumb TNG episode where Wesley comes back and everyone gets addicted to VR game of throwing discs into a tube.... for some reason that is one of the episodes I most remember from my youth....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Drugs bad, mkay?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished second season of Bosch: Legacy.

I think I've preferred the Legacy series to the original one, even though there is a distinct lack of Lance Reddick (RIP).

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Finished second season of Bosch: Legacy.

I think I've preferred the Legacy series to the original one, even though there is a distinct lack of Lance Reddick (RIP).

Need to get back on this. Gave up early in the first season for reasons I couldn't tell you.

[drave]

Started up Yellowstone again. Still in the first season, but I'm okay with that.


So far, in order of Greatness from all things Taylor Sheridan (for me):


1883
Yellowstone
1923 (so dumb)

[Lock Jaw]

On to Season 5 of Star Trek: TNG....

Blew through Season 5.... Just the finale left....

Been distracting myself from dental surgery recovery via binge watching....

[Seanny One Ball]

Trying to save Bass Reeves so I can do two episodes at a time but it’s too damned good.
Get on it.

[Blonde Moment]

Up to date on Bass Reeves and the more i see the more I wish it was an old fashioned series because imo it has the feeling of one.
Its going to be way too damn short

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished season 2 of Succession and have begun season 3.

This series is soooo gooood; they're all gloriously fucked-up pieces of shit. I love the whole Gerri-Roman dynamic.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

L to the OGggggggg

[Lock Jaw]

Three episodes in to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off...

Seems to be going in a really different direction... if I wasn't already familiar with the original, might be confusing... feels like a "What If" show...

[Seanny One Ball]

L to the OGggggggg

I put that on to convince my mother to finish watching it. She wasn’t having any of it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I mean, it might be the greatest scene ever. But it's simultaneously the worst thing I ever watched.

[Lock Jaw]

Three episodes in to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off...

Seems to be going in a really different direction... if I wasn't already familiar with the original, might be confusing... feels like a "What If" show...

Finished the show today... though it was gonna be just an animated adaptation of the original story but it is very much a sequel/multiverse/What If thing.... original movie/story knowledge pretty much mandatory

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished season 3 of Succession. Still sooooooo good. Bring the fourth and final season on, son!

Roman sending a dick pic to Logan was priceless.

[drave]

Got to the 3rd season of Yellowstone over break. Exceptionally well done show, loving every episode. It's become one of those shows which seems like they are over quickly because they're so good you don't realize you've been watching it so long.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Finished season 3 of Succession. Still sooooooo good. Bring the fourth and final season on, son!

Roman sending a dick pic to Logan was priceless.

Somehow L to the OG was more cringe than that for me. But mannnnnnnnn was that an expertly crafted sequence. I shrivelled on Roman's (and his penis's) behalf.

[Lock Jaw]

Midway through Star Trek: TNG season 6.... so I started to watch Star Trek: DS9 alongside it, since that is when it started. Problem is that I guess TOS and TNG were both "remastered" at some point, while DS9 was not... so visually just looks terrible and fuzzy

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

DS9 only gets really good towards the end of season 2. And it's pretty blech until then. But then all of a sudden it becomes one of my favourite shows ever.

[Lock Jaw]

That's kind of why I started it beside TNG, so that by the time I only have DS9 left it will be better.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Like most Star Trek series, DS9 doesn't really get going until season 3. Until then, you have the lovely Jadzia Dax to admire.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

As the series also has a lot of non-Starfleet characters, I find from a character standpoint, DS9 is superior to the other shows. Quark and Garak are gold.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Garak is a favourite all time character for me, nvm star trek. In the Pale Moonlight is a fucking masterpiece.

[Seanny One Ball]

Lawmen: Bass Reeves is shaping up to be just shy of eternal greatness but right up there with the best intentioned and well realised efforts in the TV western genre.
It is not 1883, but it isn’t over yet. It is easily 3.5/4.

I hope this spawns a bunch of “Lawmen:” type series. So many great historical figures to choose from. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Taylor Sheridan will do Hickock some justice. Only “Deadwood” dared attempt it, and a worthy claim it has to best ever representation.

[Lock Jaw]

Damb at this early episode of DS9 with an airborne virus and quarantine being enforced.... but then despite being airborne ain't nobody using masks, not even the doctors and nurses working directly with the infected...

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Finished Succession.

A top-drawer series that has restored my faith that smart shows with complex characters and great stories still exist, and not all have succumbed to 'The Message' and the poor, lazy writing that comes with it.

Let there be more shows like Succession!

[Seanny One Ball]

Watch “Barry” now if you haven’t seen it.

You’ll understand my reasoning when you get there.

[Seanny One Ball]

The last few years have been an epitome of can’t-miss serial television. Every service provides.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm into the early episodes of the final season of Billions, and I still need to finish season 3 of Peaky Blinders.

I will put Barry on the list.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The last season of Billions was rough.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished the final season of Billions. It was rather 'blah.' The ending and the defeat of Michael Prince was just too neat and convenient. Just lazy.

I tried to watch season 2 of Loki, but I was bored after the first episode and haven't returned. I tried Barry, as suggested by Seanny, but I wasn't feeling it.

I've started re-watching the sci-fi series, Defiance, and I still have season 3 of Peaky Blinders to finish.

[drave]

When you have the time, start Yellowstone. So damn good!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I finished the final season of Billions. It was rather 'blah.' The ending and the defeat of Michael Prince was just too neat and convenient. Just lazy.



The show existed in a perpetual jump-the-shark state, and that was fine. But for some reason, I reached the end of my tether in the final season. What was once enjoyable dreck made me wonder why I'd ever given it the time of day.

It's interesting--Koppelman and Levien wrote Rounders which is a classic for guys like us. Dunno if it's like a masterpiece but definitely a highly revered movie of our formative years. I guess where I'm getting is I wonder if Billions would've been better and less an over-the-top piece of shit if it was just a mini-series or movie.

I don't wanna give the wrong idea here. I loved watching it, even after Damian Lewis left. Giammati does a lot with the silliness and I can watch him all day as Chuck "named after Dusty" Rhoades. It's just...season 7 was kinda like, "whoa was it actually this insufferable the whole time?"

Also, I think Succession coming out during Billions's run really made it look bush league as fuck. Filet mignon versus a Happy Meal cheeseburger. It basically just becomes Suits, which also sucks.

[Seanny One Ball]

When you have the time, start Yellowstone. So damn good!


:wtf:

He’s been watching that for a lot longer than either of us.

[Seanny One Ball]

Reacher season 2 is out, which is just in time to take over from “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” which finishes this weekend.

Reacher is a great shit, it isn’t trying to be a smart show just a well done piece of escapism. Alan Ritchson looks even bigger this year.

[Seanny One Ball]

The dialogue is so painfully expository at times that I’m glad the action is so tremendous. It’s pretty tongue in cheek but at the same time no amount of nods and winks to the audience can overcome the slog that is the interplay between characters at times.

The best thing about the books is the lack of dreary dialogue, it’s mostly just paragraphs of description but I suppose that would make for a terribly dull show.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm leaving 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' for Xmas or the New Year.

I'll wait until all the episodes for season 2 of 'Reacher' are out before watching it.

Season 5 Part 2 of 'Yellowstone' is not out until November 2024, which sucks arse.

I watched the second episode of 'Barry,' and I liked it more this time round. Therefore, I'll continue checking it out from time to time. Though, it might just be because I find the blonde woman attractive that I'm inclined to give it another go.

[Seanny One Ball]

Oh for fuck’s sake you would fancy that horrible cunt wouldn’t you

[Seanny One Ball]

Just watching Reacher drown a guy in cement there and I’m thinking “get some information out of him first” but no, no he just drowns him dead. Straight away he says “We should have kept one alive”.

No shit Jack, no shit.

[drave]

:wtf:

He’s been watching that for a lot longer than either of us.

I didn't know.


Anyway, I'm all caught up and have to wait until November 2024 for the next half of the season. They left on some big fucking cliff hangers too.

Outstanding show. I'd watch it over from the start again.


Started Lawmen Bass Reeves. 3 episodes in, and it's amazingly well told. Great show already.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've watched the first episode of Lawmen: Bass Reeves. I'm feeling it, and I want more.

I'm also three episodes into a mini-series, The English, which is another revisionist western. I like it, even though Emily Blunt's character is a borderline Mary Sue; Blunt's performance pulls it off for the most part. It is not up there with 1883 or the above Bass Reeves (even though I've only watched one episode thus far), but for Seanny and anyone else looking for more western fare, you might want to check it out.

[drave]

Bass Reeves only gets better my dude. 4 EP in and yeah.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished Bass Reeves.

It's not up there with 1883; I felt it lost its way in the latter stages, and had some sub-plots that were either underdeveloped or went nowhere. However, I still enjoyed it. David Oyelowo was great in his role, as was Barry Pepper.

[Seanny One Ball]

You are right about it growing increasingly directionless towards the end. There is a sub plot involving the daughter that dead ends in the strangest way with absolutely no resolution and the ending had me annoyed that so much history was set aside so they could do the old Mandingo/Django red herring. It was still very good though, you have to give the credit to Oyelowo for it.

[Lock Jaw]

Started watching Berlín

Also finished it over "break" and have largely the same-held thoughts. I leaned more into the narrative of how he was dealing with himself and his actions, and couldn't have cared less about the daughter sub-plot that seemed like every other story about race relations in America at that time.

Still, he did a HELLUVA job in his role.

[Lock Jaw]

Finished Star Trek: TNG Season 6, and Star Trek: DS9 Season 1.

On to the next!

Was "great" seeing the two part S6/S7 TNG season finale/premiere... brought back lots of "memories" of being a hyped up kid watching it...

[road doggy dogg]

Didn't realize Archer season 14 was on (Canada) Netflix. Watched the full season in 3 sittings. For the ups and downs the show has gone through during the "coma seasons", I always have enjoyed the show. Jessica Walter's sendoff at the end of season 12 was done really really well. I thought this season was pretty good. The last episode seemed a bit anticlimactic but apparently there's a 3-episode "finale event" called Into the Cold that I guess concludes things even after the 8 episode season. Going to have to wait for that to show up on Netflix or just stream it somewhere else. Gotta see how that shit all ends up.

In a similar note, been slow-burning the last season of Letterkenny. Just finished episodes 4 and 5 last night. Not sure I am emotionally ready for the finale that we'll likely watch tonight. :'(

[road doggy dogg]

Finished Star Trek: TNG Season 6, and Star Trek: DS9 Season 1.

On to the next!

Was "great" seeing the two part S6/S7 TNG season finale/premiere... brought back lots of "memories" of being a hyped up kid watching it...

I was always more of a TNG fan growing up because my dad watched (and taped! on VHS!) while growing up. But started watching DS9 over the past year or two and I think I'm more of a fan of that show overall. Feels more "grounded" and the interactions between characters is fantastic. Minus all the stuff about Sisko being the emissary and stuff, I don't care about all that but it is kind of central to the show for better or worse.

The baseball episode in season 7 is the best Star Trek episode ever idc

[road doggy dogg]

OH ALSO watched Pokemon Concierge on Netflix and I didn't even know what it was until it showed up on the "just released" or whatever and it is the most adorable thing of all time and the best thing Pokemon has ever done. Shame it is only 4 episodes but I highly recommend to anyone who has a soul at all and if you don't like it I hate you

[drave]

hate me more, makes me feel goooooooooood

[Lock Jaw]

Samesies with TNG.... Feel like as a kid DS9 was "too serious" for me and was like "they only stay in one place? ugh, boring" so I never watched a lot.

Season 1 was not great but I think I could definitely appreciate it a lot more. Meanwhile, TNG after the first 2/3 seasons has been gold, and I also appreciate it a lot more as an adult.

Also "cool", but also sad, to see some of the "moral dilemma" or "questions" raised on the shows still be relevant to discussions today.

[Blonde Moment]

Got ahold of the first 3 seasons of Have Gun, Will Travel so started digging into that

[Splaya]

haha make fun of me if you will but I have recently started watching Baywatch!

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm re-watching the first season of Community at the moment. I always forget how great this series is; the first couple of episodes are a bit iffy, but after that, it is nothing but gold.

It has also rekindled my love for Alison Brie.

[Seanny One Ball]

Go and watch GLOW, one sight of her ankle spankers will set you right again.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've watched season four of Peaky Blinders. For some reason, I enjoyed it more than the previous seasons, though once again, it pulls the ending out of its own arse. I don't think I'll bother with seasons 5 and 6, at least for now.

I'm half way through season 2 of Community and it remains glorious.

After buying it 6-7 years ago, I've finally started the first season of Boardwalk Empire. I'm two episodes in and I'm not entirely sold on it. Also, what is up the opening credits theme music? It is perhaps the blandest HBO theme music I've ever heard. As my appreciation for a show/film, up to a certain point, is dependent on the music, this is probably why I'm a bit 'meh' towards the show at the mo.

I've also watched the first episode of season 2 Reacher. Something already feels off, but lets see.

[Lock Jaw]

I really like the intro of Boardwalk Empire....

It is a pretty "slow" show though.... season 3 was great though... so much so that I never finished the show... was just like "well, it's not getting better than that"

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished Reacher.

I liked it, but there was something missing that the first season had, though I can't exactly explain what. The woman who plays Dixon, however, is fine as fuck and helps to make up for it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've been feeling the urge, as of late, to re-watch the gloriously trashy and entertaining Spartacus series. I've bought the first two seasons on the cheap, so I'm going to start this evening.

I'm still doing my re-watch of Community; nearly at the end of season 3. I don't think I've watched anymore of Boardwalk since I last mentioned it; I need to get on with that.

[road doggy dogg]

Finished Letterkenny and nearly caught up on Shoresy. Looking for a new show to watch. Was at my mom's last night and she said she was watching Loudermilk on Netflix and really liking it, might check that out...

[Lock Jaw]

I was also at yr mom's last night, must have just missed you....

[Lock Jaw]

Started watching the final season of Doom Patrol.... remembered how delightfully weird it is....

First episode featured them fighting this dude

https://i.imgur.com/eDEtlTq.jpg

Then there were also zombie butt-monsters....

[drave]

Gee, wonder how a giant cod piece fits into zombie butt monsters :|

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm on to the final season of Spartacus now.

I will always wonder how the final two seasons would have been like with Andy Whitfield in the lead, but Liam McIntyre does a fine job; he could do with beefing up a little, though.

I'm coming to the end of season 5 of Community. With the exception of the MeowMeowBeenz episode, which is fantastic (and I love the Logan's Run aspect of it), the show is past its prime.

I'm going to start that Mr & Mrs Smith season soon.

[poopfromweiner dude]

Watching masters of Air

It’s pretty good, not band of brothers quality

Elvis and the other handsome guy want to kiss sooooooooo bad just do it already

It’s hard to tell the rest of the white people apart

Liam McIntyre did as admirably as anyone could have after Andy Whitfield died. He was a bit like Chadwick Boseman in that his career had only just taken off right when he passed away.

Hannah Mangan Lawrence was so hot in season two… absurdly attractive woman. Never seen her since. Probably retired to have kids or whatever. Bring her back!

They are allegedly making “The House Of Ashur” as a sequel that hypothesises what would happen if Ashur survived his death duel. Tarabay apparently returning.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Ashur got beheaded; madness.

[The Fraze]

Just started The Fall of the House of Usher with Tb1 and his lady on Monday. Enjoyed the first two episodes, particularly the sound design.

[Seanny One Ball]

Ashur got beheaded; madness.


Let’s resurrect a rapist to reactivate a franchise that was cool ten years ago.

[Seanny One Ball]

Spartacus is genuinely one of the best series I have ever seen. So violent, so sexy, so Roman.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I watched season 1 of that show and enjoyed the payoff, but I never watched beyond that. The first half I remember being a huge bummer. But I kept watching cuz of John Hannah and my thirst for gladiator TV. And the latter half of the season went whole hog, and I was left satisfied.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The prequel series, Gods of the Arena, gives you more John Hannah, and sets up the next two seasons that follow on from events in Blood and Sand. All worth watching.

I'm on to the final episode, which I'm going to watch tomorrow.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished the sixth and final season of Community.

By this point, the show has long past its peak. I felt for the most part that I was only watching this season out of the need to be a completist. Seasons 1 and 2 will always reign supreme, and should be watched by all.

Moving on, I attempted to watch the new Amazon series, Mr & Mrs Smith, but I didn't get past the first episode. I just found it tedious.

I'm not sure what I'm going to watch after I've finished Spartacus. I do still need to finish the first season of Boardwalk Empire, but I have no real desire to watch it.

[ClockShot]

I've had Shogun sitting in my DVD collection for years. Figure it's time I get it done before FX does their remake at the end of the month.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Spartacus is done. Glorious. I'll probably end up watching it again 3-4 years from now.

I'm feeling the urge to revisit 24, Battlestar Galactica and Six Feet Under, at the moment. I'll make a decision soon.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've settled on re-watching Battlestar Galactica (2000s), and to also revisit seasons 1 to 3 of Weeds. The first three seasons of Weeds are gold, but it descends into utter shite afterwards.

[Seanny One Ball]

You should watch an old miniseries called “Centennial” which can be found on that site I showed you.

[Seanny One Ball]

Started “Letterkenny” after seeing it on the same site for the last year or two.

Superb.

[The Fraze]

[not a show] Watched Flashdance on Valentine's Day, hadn't since the 90s. Really enjoyed it (again).

[Seanny One Ball]

“Letterkenny” is an outstanding sitcom. The lead, the hockey kids and the meth guys are all superb. It’s only weakness is the over-egging of good jokes. They do the “let’s give funny examples one after another” routine way too often but the rest is pretty much gold.

People should have recommended this to me but at least now I can binge it. I’m taking down a season a day so far. So many great moments already gone.

[road doggy dogg]

Love Letterkenny. It does tend to get a bit "stale" later on as the format and jokes start to feel a bit samey. But it's a glorious ride all the same. Fuckin' degens.

Strongly recommend checking out Shoresy after you're done with LK.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I remember you recommending that to me before. I've put it in my favourites, ready for viewing.

[again not a show] The Fraze is going to probably watch Sisu and True Romance sometime in the coming weeks.

The sister is pretty lame and the rapid-fire patter is better left to the hockey kids because it fits better with them but the delivery from the lead is just perfect a lot of the time. I tried to watch “Corner Gas” a while back because of a suspiciously high IMDB score but it lost me after ten minutes. This is a great show, up there with the best Canada has to offer.

[Lock Jaw]

I remember Corner Gas was very hit or miss....

[Seanny One Ball]

It has an 8.4 on IMDB. Outrageous partisan voting.

[poopfromweiner dude]

Masters of the Air pretty good,,,not quite Band of Brothers but still really good

Really wanted Elvis and the other handsome guy to kiss so bad

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm enjoying Battlestar Galactica a lot at the moment. On to season 3 at the moment.

You forget how good Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos were in this programme; they were the bedrock of the show. Katee Sackhoff was also top notch as Starbuck.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I should finish Battlestar Galactica today. It has been a great ride again.

[The Fraze]

[again not a show] The Fraze is going to probably watch Sisu and True Romance sometime in the coming weeks.

Still have not done this.

[Seanny One Ball]

“True Romance” is a better tribute to pulp fiction than “Pulp Fiction”

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Watched first two eps of Shogun. Tremendous.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the TNG episode where Dr Crusher bones a ghost... so halfway through the final season. Slowed down my watching a little.

Also been watching the X-Men animated series... on season 4... I like how S1 and 2 are "relatively grounded" mainly about human/mutants..... then S3 just goes banana and is all ALIENS and SPACE.

[road doggy dogg]

Watched the first live-action episode of One Piece. I enjoyed it. Never really read the manga or watched the anime so going in relatively "blind" and don't have a point of reference to compare to, but it seems fun so far.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Nobody watching Shogun?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm waiting until there are more episodes before I watch Shogun.

I'm currently in the early stages of The Winter King, which is an adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's take on the Arthurian legend. I'm undecided on it at the mo, but I'll probably still watch it through to the end. It doesn't touch The Last Kingdom series, which was another adaptation of a Cornwell book series.

I'm also now on to season 2 of Weeds.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Zoey Deschanel has appeared in Weeds. My late 2000s-early 2010s love for her is returning.

I've got several series on the go at the moment. I'm coming to the end of The Winter King. It's not bad; it gives me my 'historical'/swords and shields fix. I've also started a rewatch of Farscape and Colony. I'd forgotten how bangable Claudia Black was, back in the day; she probably still is.

[The Fraze]

Watched Weeds all the way through because the main gal in it is so f'n sexy.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Mary-Louise Parker was top drawer until she started pumping things into her face.

[The Fraze]

Mary-Louise Parker was top drawer until she started pumping things into her face.

Haven't looked her up in a long time but that is something I wish would cease to exist. The filler and facelifts women do are so unattractive and sad.

[ClockShot]

Nobody watching Shogun?

I will eventually. That late start time is a killer for me.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The first season of Farscape is mad cheese, but also bloody great. Not as good as the later seasons, when Crichton slowly goes bonkers, along with the show. It is amazing how well the voice acting is for Rygel; you soon forget he is a puppet.

Against my better judgement, I've moved on to season 4 of Weeds. I'd forgotten this season had Julie Bowen in it; glorious.

[road doggy dogg]

Still watching One Piece. About 4-5 episodes in, quite enjoying it. It still has that same kind of... I dunno, "real action humans seem wooden" kind of feeling, when you're watching something adapted from an animated medium. Never watched the anime much so I can't compare this to that, but it reminds me of how I felt when watching the Netflix version of Cowboy Bebop in like it very distinctly felt like the actors were caricatures emulating another character's movements that were done way better in anime. Does that make sense? Probably not, I haven't had my coffee. But anyway, One Piece is pretty great so far. Will probably start binging the anime once I'm done this Netflix series.


Also started watching the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 revival on Netflix. I always loved the idea of the original show but never watched it religiously. Having a blast with this one. I'm sure MST3k purists will hate it because that's what people do, but it's given me some good laughs

[Seanny One Ball]

MST3K is a great show to just drop into every now and then. I’ve never seen any of the new ones but it’s a hard gimmick to fuck up so it’s probably still good.

[Big Vic]

Finishing Andor today. Hasn't been that bad but the first half of the season took a bit to get through.

[Destor]

The Gentlemen. Really solid stuff. Doesnt have to pace of classic Guy Ritchie but it has the spirit.

[Lock Jaw]

Finished up Star Trek TNG yesterday at last... bittersweet to reach the end, but... All good things....

2 episodes left in season 2 of DS9

Onwards and upwards

[road doggy dogg]

Garak is the best Star Trek character idc what anyone says

[Seanny One Ball]

Got bored and curious enough to watch the first episode of “Cowboy Bebop”.

It was pretty good.

[Destor]

Animated?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Garak is the best Star Trek character idc what anyone says

Inclined to agree

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm coming to the end of season 2 of Farscape. As much as I enjoy/have enjoyed the various North American sci-fis series produced over the past 20-30 years, Farscape demonstrates how bland and sanitised such shows have been. One Farscape episode has more imagination and character than most shows can muster in their entire run.

Season 2 also employs 3-4 episode story arcs, which really fleshes out a story and allows for more character development. Good stuff.

[Seanny One Ball]

Animated?

That’s the only version that I am aware of, my mates used to love it when we were a lot younger but it’s fine for adults too.

Missing Ond Punch and Dorohedoro though.

[Seanny One Ball]

Will binge “Shogun” when it is all available.
The ratings are too consistent to ignore.

[Destor]

The original is great. Top tier. They tried a netflix love action series 2ish years ago that was a dumpster fire

[Seanny One Ball]

Was that with Harold in it? I remember seeing a poster but I assumed it was a film.

I’ll watch a couple of the anime episodes tonight if I get the chance.

[road doggy dogg]

Animated is exponentially better than the live action Netflix one. It's a pretty fantastic anime in its own right. If you really enjoy it, I recommend Trigun as well it has kind of a similar theme

[Seanny One Ball]

I Googled “One Punch Man, Dorohedoro, Cowboy Bebop” and Reddit threads turned up Trigun, Chainsaw Man and Berserk as suggestions.

I’ll see how Bebop takes me. I should really watch Dorohedoro again though, it was idiosyncratic in the best way.

[Destor]

Trigun is my favorite anime. Hence my avatar

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ve seen the opening six sessions/episodes of Cowboy Bebop now.
Oddly enough the one about eco-terrorism and ape-men is probably my favourite so far, also the music in it is pretty damned good.

Tried to watch the first episode of “Berserk” and it put me off immediately.
Is Samurai Champloo any good?

[Seanny One Ball]

Trigun is unavailable on the site I use but it has Mob Psycho 100 so I can finally see how that goes. Seph recommended it ages ago.

There has to be comedy. I like a bit of humour in my fucked up cartoons aimed at adults.

[Seanny One Ball]

There is a Trigun film but I don’t want to spoil anything in case it becomes available

[drave]

Fuck yes Samurai Champloo is GREAT. Same tier as Cowboy Bebop. they used to play back to back when they were first aired on TV.

[road doggy dogg]

I rewatched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners last week, not even really sure why just was kind of in the mood for it. It's such a great little series. Long enough to get invested in the characters but doesn't overstay its welcome. Love the vibe and atmosphere, it's like the best parts of what 2077 wants to be. And god bless all the Lucy cosplayers out there.

[Destor]

@seanny

Trigun movie was mid at best. Same with the bebop film.

Champloo has great action but doesnt have the bite of some of the stuff that youve resonated with.

Some things id recommend to you are Dororo. The recent remake on amazon. The 60s version is still beautiful but the newest run is outstanding.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Not Full Metal Alchemist. Specifically Brotherhood. The original anime was made before the manga ended so they winged it. Brotherhood is the actual vision.)

Death Note.

These are pretty famous shows but theyre famous for a reason.

Some of my favs that i dunno if youd jive with but i wanna shout out anyways are Agama ga KILL!, Eden of the East, Gurren Lagann, The Future Diary, Soul Eater, Stien's;Gate, and Seven Deadly Sins.

[drave]

Ninja Kamui is pretty good too (the new one). You'll love the midget who talks about cock and making everyone his bitch.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm over the halfway point of season 4 of Farscape. I feel like the show peaked in seasons 2 and 3, and started to drop off once Zhaan left. Season 4, whilst it has had its moments, feels a bit lost.

I'm at the beginning of season 7 of Weeds. When I originally watched the show, years ago, I stopped after season 6. The show hasn't been funny since season 3, and Nancy has become an increasingly dislikeable character. I've persevered with it for the odd moment of brilliance it still sometimes delivers, but the show should have ended after season 3.

One Farscape and Weeds are done, I'm going to watch Shogun.

[Seanny One Ball]

Weeds was pure pish

[Seanny One Ball]

Rewatched the entirety of “The Smoking Room” and it’s still mint. Only downside is the obese thing in it. I’d have bet any money she’d be dead by now.

[road doggy dogg]

Started a re-watch of House MD. Love this show

[road doggy dogg]

Shoresy season 3 release announced :D

May 24 here in Canada (Crave)
June 21 in the US (Hulu)

[The Fraze]

Tb1 is having his gf and I watch Fallout. The female lead, of course, is who has The Fraze's attention.

[drave]

She's like a newer version of Winnie from The Wonder Years.

[The Fraze]

The kid from The Wonder Years was one of a few that people said The Fraze looked like at that age. Also, the girl from Fallout is beautiful. Caught my eye when Tb1 had us watch Yellowjackets as well.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished Farscape. The two-episode mini series that concluded the show, 'The Peacekeeper Wars,' felt very 'Americanized;' a lot of the show's quirks had been sanitised for North American audiences. However, it was a decent send-off, even if there was a couple of cheap deaths ('You tell'em who their daddy is!').

I'm on to Shogun now. I've only watched one episode so far, but I'm all in. The actor who plays the Englishman reminds me a lot of Tom Hardy, which helps sell it to me.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Shogun is amazing but you'll grow to hate it. Too woke for your critical drinker-simping ass.

[Seanny One Ball]

Feudal Japan famous for it’s wokeness

[Tom Guycott]

Feudal Japan famous for it’s wokeness

Instantly quoteable.

I haven't gotten a chance to watch the actual show yet, though.

[Seanny One Ball]

Me either, might give it a bash tonight.

[The Fraze]

Episode 6 of Fallout had a lot of closeups on Ella Purnell's face and The Fraze was pleased.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Shogun is amazing but you'll grow to hate it. Too woke for your critical drinker-simping ass.

I've got two episodes left. I've loved this series. Hiroyuki Sanada has been an absolute boss; a fantastic foundation that the show has been built upon.

It is only a limited series, but I hope they will come back to this world and tell other stories.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Shogun is finished. Fantastic show; perhaps an early contender for show of the year. The ending threw me off, but I appreciate what they did.

I'm halfway through Shardlake at the moment. It is fine, even if the world building is a bit incongruent. Plenty of bigotry towards the physically deformed, but no racial discrimination in Tudor England. See the above show for how world building should be done.

[Seanny One Ball]

Do they call midgets “shorty” and all of that great stuff?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Crookback, and plenty of people crossing themselves.

[The Fraze]

Finished Fallout with Tb1 and his gf, it was "fine." Ella Purnell's face (https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExajNtdWZkanQ0eXJ0a3U4eXl1dGVpY3R3NTB0aTN3ZjJuZTVsdDZvbiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfY nlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/mG9chzMVJI7T2uNxhH/giphy.gif) was The Fraze's main interest for the entirety of the season.

[drave]

How "into it" were you? Enough to theorize about shit? I GOT QUESTIONS MAN!

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I still haven't watched the second half of Shardlake; I'll get to it soon. Most of my viewing has been watching the Giro d'Italia, which will keep me occupied for the 2.5 weeks.

I have, however, been re-watching a 4-part series that I haven't seen since it was broadcast back in 2008: The Devil's Whore. It stars Andrea Riseborough, Dominic West, Michael Fassbender and John Simm. It is set during the English Civil War. If you like historical drama with a slight weird bent, check it out.

I also watched a few episodes of Spin City the other day. It still needs to get going, but Michael J. Fox is holding things together. Parkinson's is a bastard.

[Seanny One Ball]

El Vaquero watches the shows that your parents might watch so that you don’t have to

[Seanny One Ball]

How often do you actually watch Countryfile

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I never watch Countryfile, you bastard!

I'm not sure if The Devil's Whore is for the Countryfile set.

[Destor]

Watching Baby Reindeer. Only 1 ep in but seems solid

[The Fraze]

How "into it" were you? Enough to theorize about shit? I GOT QUESTIONS MAN!

Not really into it, if The Fraze is being honest (https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx33xIbRZ2v02jKo8dt_KwSN8d9ie6NR1n?si=uLbOgmopaGSAx7b2).

[Seanny One Ball]

I never watch Countryfile, you bastard!



#poty

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished Shardlake. It was ultimately something and nothing, and the story didn't need 4 episodes; it could have been resolved in a two-hour episode.

I'm going to finish The Devil's Whore tomorrow, and then I need to decide what to watch next.

[Lock Jaw]

Finished up the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Wasn't a great season but the finale was pretty good.

I liked the bait and switch of the Seinfeld finale and "fixing it".

Will miss the show.

[Seanny One Ball]

I’ll have to binge that ASAP

[Frank Drebin]

Would like to hear Destor and Seanny's thoughts on Baby Reindeer. Thought that was pretty riveting stuff.

[Seanny One Ball]

Doesn’t seem like my sort of thing. I’ll ask my elderly mother if she enjoyed it.

[Destor]

Riveting is the right word and i thought the finale was deftly handled

Going into it i didnt have any clue how you could wrap a show like this up. Life doesnt exactly tie a neat bow around itself but based on a true story does imply its fiction so perhaps they could pull it off. And i think they did.

When he's at the bar and we're given the baby reindeer backstory that sceen, without donnie speaking, play almost like "i understand and i forgive you." They really give her her due in that moment. Then the bartender offers him a drink and the moments that started the show repeat themselves. Saying "yes i forgive you but you permanently stained my soul." And that was a really sophisticated statement. He can choose to forgive her but he fails to forgive himself.

I also feel like they handled a trans chracter well for perhaps the first time ever. No one ever looked into the camera and told the audience what to think. It was meerly "i think hes hot and i dont care that hes a dude." Fair enough. Theyre still a bit bogged down by making the narrative surrounding the character about his transness but its getting much closer to a place where its simply just an underlying aspcet and not a plot point.

All that said every episode was very punchy and i always was left wanting to see what happens next. The acting was great and i think both leads should at least be nominated for emmys. Its a story so outrageous its hard to believe and then also it sounds about right. Really skirts that line. Extremely unique show in a ton of ways that will make it very memorable long term.

[weather vane]

Tires was an easy watch.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished watching the late 1990s/early 2000s satirical show, Brass Eye. It is absolutely ruthless. You couldn't make this show today; it's too close to the bone.

I'm currently watching the first season of The Good Wife. I like it, though I don't know if it is because of the show, itself, or because Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi are absolute foxes.

[road doggy dogg]

Just binged through that Shane Gillis show on Netflix, Tires. Fell a bit flat for me (ha ha, tire pun). Through the six episodes there were probably about 3-4 jokes that gave me a pretty good laugh, but overall felt a bit disjointed. First season stuff. I'll probably check out season 2 whenever it comes out

[OssMan]

MILF Manor

[road doggy dogg]

Watched first episode of S3 of Shoresy last night. Amazing. The walking competition the b'ys did was peak.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've started the final season of Star Trek: Discovery. The Michael Burnham character remains one of the most irritating, sanctimonious individuals that ST have ever created. I thought Janeway was a pain, but Burnham takes the cake. The identity politics ideological lecturing also persists, but at this point, I've learned to just roll my eyes when they indulge in it. I'm just going to get through it, and then never watch the series ever again.

I'm also coming to the end of season 1 of The Good Wife. I like it enough to continue on to the next season.

[road doggy dogg]

I hear so many polarizing/negative things about Discovery. Fiancee loves everything Trek so I've watched a few episodes with her. There was an early episode where they were like "Do you want to be remembered as other visionaries such as the Wright Brothers or Elon Musk?" and it felt really hamfisted and stupid lol

[drave]

I watched the first few episodes of it when it first started. I'm a Star Trek fan (not a fanatic, but love TNG, DS9). A lot of it definitely felt forced and they weren't shy about it. Made it rather cringy and moved on immediately.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I have now thankfully finished the final season of Star Trek: Discovery. I hope never to watch that bag of wank ever again.

I'm coming to the end of season 3 of The Good Wife. I'm also rewatching season 3 of The Boys before starting the new season.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Tour de France is taking up a lot of my viewing at the moment.

I am also onto season 5 of The Good Wife. The show seemed to have a tonal/style shift in season 4. It's neither better nor worse, just slightly different. I can't really explain it.

[Lock Jaw]

Just because, I watched the last season of Pokémon. Final 12 episodes with Ash. Weird at how he can still be 10 years old after so much journeying around the world.

Was some wholesome stuff... traveled with Misty and Brock the OGs again, as was fitting for the final episodes....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm on to the final season of The Good Wife. It feels like it has lost its way now, but remains stronger than you would expect it to be. I think that is down to the change in tone/style in season 5, which gave it a spark life. However, that has now waned. I'll probably watch its spin-offs, The Good Fight and Elsbeth.

I've nearly finished fourth season of The Boys. It has been kind of something and nothing.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I need to re-watch season 1 of GOT: House of the Dragon, before I start season 2.

The Critical Drinker has also recommended a show, set in 16th century Korea, about samurai and zombies. I feel like that will be a winning combination.

[Seanny One Ball]

I watched that Alan Carr comedy about growing up the other night. Surprisingly good, but then Alan Carr is undeniably funny. I’m just amazed they found a kid ugly enough.

[drave]

Watched The Last Samurai again. 7/10 because of Tom Cruise's middle tooth.

[slik]

Almost done w/ Batman: Caped Crusader

Very good...favorite episode so far has probably been the Harley Quinn one

[Lock Jaw]

Watching Stargirl season 3.... watched season 2 on my vacation during various layovers and other down time...

[slik]

Almost done w/ Batman: Caped Crusader

Very good...favorite episode so far has probably been the Harley Quinn one

Harvey Dents also very good

[Destor]

Started Kaleidoscope. Watched 1 ep. I'll stick with it but i strongly dislike there being a random ep order for each viewer. The idea of it annoys me.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I finished The Good Wife, and I'm now on the final season of The Good Fight. I've liked this spin-off series, even though the seasons during the Trump administration leaned hard into the Trump Derangement Syndrome and far-left identity politics. At least they explored the issues inside out and refrained from too much lecturing. However, I don't think this spin-off will age as well as The Good Wife, due to the identity politics.

Once The Good Fight is over, I'm going to watch the other Good Wife spin-off, Elsbeth, which is apparently like Columbo.

I re-watched season 1 of the GoT: House of the Dragon, and then proceeded to watch season 2. Whilst the second season remained watchable, it seemed to meander for much of it. Hopefully, season 3 will have more impetus to it.

[Destor]

I made it through like...20 min of HoD s1.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I also tried to watch Those About to Die, but I didn't go beyond the first episode. It was just naff: the script, the acting, the pacing, everything.

If I want a good Rome-related drama, I'll stick to Rome, I Claudius or Spartacus.

[Seanny One Ball]

Bad Monkey is good, watch that.

[Seanny One Ball]

Binged a show called “Mr Inbetween” a few weeks ago. Brilliant.
It’s an Australian crime comedy about a hit man and each episode is twenty minutes long and tighter than I thought possible.

I recommend it to everyone.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished all three seasons of the Australian comedy-drama, Mr. Inbetween, which revolves around a free-lance hitman, as he juggles his criminal and family lives.

It's simple and doesn't break any new ground, but it's done so well. The series is the best show I've seen in awhile. I'll have to go back to the bollocks that is La Brea until I discover something else.

You're behind the times, son.

Also, I don't think I ever went back to La Brea.

[Seanny One Ball]

It was tits. One of the most satisfying programs I’ve seen in years.

[Seanny One Ball]

House Of The Dragon was fairly shit, season one a lot less so than season two but it’s not great. Paddy Considine deserved some support that could live up to his qualities, he was a man amongst amoeba. Season two lacked any gravitas at all, Matt Smith is dreadful.

[Seanny One Ball]

Second season of Beavis and Butthead is good. Good to see the guys again.

[Frank Drebin]

Been watching Heels since it went up on Netflix. I'm invested enough to keep watching. Now I'm understanding why Stephen Amell got some actual wwe matches a while back.

[drave]

Trying to get through Horizon: An American Saga part 1.

it's 3 hours, at least on Max. It's a LOT like 1883, and there's even some of the same actors in the movie.

I get why they shit on it in theatres. There wasn't a TON of advertising. They moved it to Max quickly in hopes it would get exposure and parts 2 and 3 will do better in theatres.

Gotten about halfway through it, it's pretty good.

[Frank Drebin]

Watching the Mr. McMahon doc. Halfway through and other than a couple of moments here and there, I haven't learned anything new. Been more of a "history of wwe" than Vince. Yeah, they're asking him questions like how he felt when X left for WCW but I'm watching to learn about Vince, not relive the Monday Night Wars.

[Big Vic]

Forgot that came out, sucks to hear it's underwhelming.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I watched the Franklin series with Michael Douglas, which was fine. Douglas was good in it, but otherwise, it was something and nothing.

I've also finished Elsbeth. I found it rather underwhelming; a poor man's Columbo.

I'm currently watching season 5 of Arrow. I'm sure I've already seen this season, but I don't mind rewatching it before moving on to season 6. Felicity Smoak remains ridiculously hot.

I'm deciding whether I should finally watch The Ring of Power. The Drinker has ripped that series to shreds, and I trust his judgement on these matters.

[Destor]

S5 of Arrow was when i stopped watching it. When the billionaire driven to vigilanteism due to rampant government incompetence and out of control crime started proselytizing about gun control and as mayor enforced a gun ban on an entire metropolitan, while might i add having a crew of vigilantes two of which actively used firearms, my eyes rolled so far back into my head i nearly had a seizure.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The preachy, ham-fisted gun control episode was tiresome, but I largely ignored it.

[Destor]

It was just jarringly tone deaf to the shows own premise. Any other setting id have groaned and rolled my eyes.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm coming to the end of Arrow season 6. I've quite liked this season, even if it has featured a lot of Katie Cassidy, who can't act for shit.

I re-watched season 1 of Fargo. I'd forgotten how good the first season was, and how much fun Billy Bob Thornton had in it. I've started the second season, which I remember not particularly liking the first time round. I don't think I've seen seasons 3 onwards.

I'm thinking of re-watching The Expanse, until it is time for the second seasons of The Silo and Arcane. I also need to watch The Penguin.

[Destor]

Fargo is so unreasonably good. Chris Rock season was meh

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

As I needed a dystopian fix, I decided to try out Snowpiercer. I've watched the first three episodes and I'm enjoying it. We'll see where it goes.

[joshwoodsrohfandm]

DOUG (90s TV Channel on Pluto) best thing ever !!!!


Doug is so relatable

[Lock Jaw]

All caught up to present day on Superman and Lois..... Season 4 definitely feeling weird via them axing all the main cast sans the main Super-family..... the supporting cast has shown up, but not in every episode, and sometimes some show up and you wonder why others wouldn't be there....

Have also noticed a distinct rise in flashbacks... I guess with a slashed budget and only so many actors to use you have to stretch it out....

But overall S4 has been good I guess... obviously some v emotional moments... and badass Lex Luthor....

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm at the beginning of Snowpiercer season 2. I actually quite like this show. It is nothing special, but it keeps my attention, unlike series 7 of Arrow. Not even the hotness of Felicity Smoak can keep my attention on what is going on in that show. I've finished season 7, but I don't think I'll bother with the final one.

[McLegend]

First half of season 7 was strong with Oliver in jail, and the best crossover. The 2nd half with his sister really put a damper on that season.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Yeah, I liked the first half.

[Lock Jaw]

Same, first half I remember thinking "Arrow is good again, cool"

[Seanny One Ball]

Bad Monkey was very good. One of those sun set lazy detective deals with a strong comedic base and some very light black patches that tease the “Fargo” fan inside.
Rob Delaney is excellent in it, especially at the end.

[Seanny One Ball]

New season of WWDITS is pretty sweet too. I think the first three seasons were so funny that season four got away with being a bit pants without too many people noticing.

[drave]

Penguin wrapped up. Brilliant show, I'd watch it again. Still can't believe that Colin Farrell is playing the lead. I never would have known if there weren't credits.


New Yellowstone started. Giving it a few weeks to simmer so I can binge it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I binge-watched an eleven-part documentary on Star Trek over the weekend. Roddenberry seems like he was a right arsehole. Otherwise, very interesting.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've finished Snowpiercer. While I found the first two seasons interesting and entertaining, from the start of the third season onwards my attention started to wane, and by the end of the show I really didn't care. I only kept watching because I have inappropriate (but legal) thoughts about Rowan Blanchard. I also came to the conclusion, at some point in season 3, that none of them really deserved to survive.

I've started the mini-series, The Regime, with Kate Winslet. It is supposed to be some form of satire, but everything seems to fall flat. I'm only two episodes in, so perhaps it will improve.

I couldn't wait for Xmas before watching season 2 of Arcane. However, I will wait until I've finished it before giving my thoughts.

I abandoned The Regime after episode three. Blah.

I've reactivated my Paramount+ subscription on Amazon, and I'm getting my Taylor Sheridan fix. Rewatched season 1 of Lioness, and I've now started season 2. I'm waiting for all the episodes of Landsman and Yellowstone to come out before watching them.

As I have my Paramount+ subscription, I'm also revisiting the 'proper' Star Trek series: TNG, DS9 and Voyager. I'm on season 2 of TNG (I skipped season 1 as it is atrocious), and the handful of episodes I've watched thus far have had better acting, character development and script than Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard; combined.

Did superman retire and leave the caping to his kids

[Lock Jaw]

They kind of speed run his last 32 years of life in an epilogue. Kids joined him in heroing, Lois died via returning cancer, Clark got a dog, then eventually Clark died and was reunited with Lois.

weird to thinj of a superman who ages but it sounds sweet

Further spoilers... about events during the season.

In the course of the season Doomsday ripped out his heart and killed him.

Sam Lane later sacrificed himself against Doomsday so that his heart could be implanted into Superman and bring him back. It worked and Superman came back but he now had the human heart of a 62 year old.

As a result he wasn't as strong and was told he would eventually lose his powers entirely and age as normal

Penguin wrapped up. Brilliant show, I'd watch it again. Still can't believe that Colin Farrell is playing the lead. I never would have known if there weren't credits.



I watched this a couple of weeks ago and it was an excellent back story for the Penguin, I got annoyed at how quickly into it that I saw the ending coming but besides that and Milioti being weird with food it was great.
It’s as dark as Batman material can go really. If they had gone further it would have been absurd. They hit just the right amount of “what the fuck”.

Running through Futureman again, Wolf is pure comedy

“Dune: Prophecy” is pretty good so far. There is some questionable acting at times, in fact some of it is downright awful but the world they have built is undeniably interesting and great to look at. I just hope they open the whole thing up and milk the franchise as it should rightly have been by now.

From a cat?

[Lock Jaw]

I need to catch up on the last two episodes...

[Seanny One Ball]

From a cat?

Sadly that is exactly why the Lynch version is still the best. Heart plugs, cat milking and fat homosexual men flying around in jet powered pants.

Ragnar Loethbrook is the best part, so far. I've just watched 3 episodes.

Yeah still better than the last 2 seasons though.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, season been good... feel like Rachel "obviously" winning now that the two who maybe could have beat her are gone...

3rd episode was crap, 4th episode much better.

Desmond Hart is the “missing link” of Dune by the looks of it. Didn’t know we were heading towards worm worship.
