I rarely watch tv anymore... I use netflix more... still waiting for the new Dr Who episodes to get posted...
Third mention today:
(http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/files/2014/03/Cosmos_layers-off.jpg)
Only seen the first episode so far, but this is for anyone who is a fan of science. Also for other people who want to learn something about life, the Universe and everything.
IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395695/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Holy crud that last image is/*was huge...
there are only 3 shows i really watch anymore.. the first half of kitchen nightmares where ramsay basically just yells at stupid restaurant owners and makes fun of the food and decor. canada's worst driver, where the drivers are so bad alot of people think the are paid actors lol and southpark
I watch Hannibal. Missed most of the first season but I'm loving the second.
Also watch the goldburgs, game of thrones, downton abby, silicon valley, and resurection.
For shows not in season, I liked under the dome, Rick & Morty, Siberia, Archer, etc.
can you watch canada's worst driver on netflix?
im not sure, i think im the only person in the world that doesnt use netflix haha They are all available on youtube though, thats where i normally watch.
I don't watch TV either. Download most of the stuff. Would use netflix if it was available to me
found some on youtube
I hate watching reality TV :/
oh neat I thought each episode was going to be new contestants
\yea that was the american set up, new guys each episode. I much prefer the canadian one as you get to keep following the same terrible drivers and see them in all aspects of driving. they also have success stories where contestants actually learned via the show.. others they beg to stop driving after the show ends lol a few people have lost liscenses or insurance because of the show
What??? That is nuts! well I guess if the pro's can't teach 'em to drive decently then they probably shouldn't be driving...
yup pretty much, some just have breakdowns and cant drive, one lady couldnt remember things 5 minutes before, would say she understood concepts when she didnt and was just not there. their was a mental breakdown towards the end where she gets herself off the show but says shell keep on driving and everyone begs her to stop.. a petition was started for transport canada to get involved lol another smuck admited to drinking and driving, driving without insurance, speeding over 200km/h.. they called his cities police department and gave them the video
Fargo? hmm, I tried watching that years ago and it really bored me with its humour... guess I was too young at the time. Tho I may be thinking of northern exposure
That's the movie lulz (although I thought it was awesome)
The TV show is brand new. 4 episodes out now
I feel so out of touch now...
Did you know they are making a new / spin-off of Boy Meets World? :-P
Anyone watching any of the 3 I posted? :o
Yep I'm actively watching Cosmos :) Although i think some of the later episodes have been too in depth and overly complex. For the show that it is and the goal they try to achieve with it, i think they needed to dumb down certain parts where they go into long and extended explanations. Personally i didn't think it was too bad but i can see others around me lose interest as they go into detail. The first couple of episodes were awesome though and really well thought out. Sometimes i also feel like they take unnecessary digs at religion.
I started watching Vikings...but for some reason i lost interest towards the end of the first season. I might pick it up again.
I'm currently watching Game of Thrones....and that's about it. I feel like Game of Thrones is losing its edge. Almost nothing happens from episode to episode...and i don't know if that's because of the director or simply because there's a shame load of characters. In any case they need to improve the pacing.
I also just finished watching the first season of Black Sails... apparently that series is shot in Cape Town :) Haha! Another good series, that i recommend to anyone.

You're saying nothing happens, and yet a major major character just died. I'm going to disagree with you there.
IMO season 2 of Vikings is way better than the first!
Well GoT is following the books so...the worst is yet to come actually. Books 4 and 5 were the dullest (we're on 3 currently). But yeah, I agree with Legend. This season has been awesome for mostly one reason so far :-D
Apart from that one major thing that happened absolutely nothing else has happened (that happened in the 2nd episode and we are now already on the 5th). The pacing is definitely off compared to the first two seasons. I felt this drag since last season though. But i think it has something to do with having so much characters and sub plots that you never really give enough focus to one.
I watched only the first two seasons of GOT... I want to get into Walking Dead, but the first episode I saw on TV seemed to turn into a soft bad stuff in minutes... kinda scared me
I might have to check out fargo now as you keep talking about it...
hmm can only find the 1996 movie on netflix... oh well
There are other ways...
Or you could just put it in your "want to watch" list and watch it when it comes to Netflix
Watched the latest GoT episode and it was great. Anyone else watching?
I finally started watching the Walking Dead... i'm in season 2 around ep 7 now...
I finally started watching the Walking Dead... i'm in season 2 around ep 7 now...
You just started?
hmm netflix only goes up to season 3... so i'll have to wait a bit for season 4 I guess, but I haven't finished season 2 yet so I'm sure I can wait.
TY nnodley! that's good to know... I just wish I knew when the last season of DR. WHO was gonna be added!!! The last season seemed awesome from what I've heard about it from my friends
The whole series reminds me of an 80's movie, but the further you get into the series (modern) the better it gets
Well the tomorrow people was cancelled! It was a pretty good first season just didn't keep the viewers. And it had a cliffhanger which pisses me off!!
did it officially get cancelled? :-(
so many shows that I like are one season long... )o: Like tera nova left on a real weird cliff hanger / twist
I've never left the US of A with the exception of going to Canada... and I MUST tell you that Dr. Who is greater than Star trek
so many shows that I like are one season long... )o: Like tera nova left on a real weird cliff hanger / twist
Dr. Who is greater than 99% of everything, so yes I agree with you.
What was the ending? I stopped watching half way through the season.
OMG!! I watched The Event on NBC and that ended on such a big cliffhanger and it got cancelled. I WAS PISSED!!
I'm still pissed!!!! There were some other shows that just didn't end well at all... Heroes went quickly down the drain and probably should have ended sooner... Touch seemed really cool but would have loved to seen more of that show. I can't remember all the shows I've really enjoyed only to have them just cancelled and left wanting so much more... is falling skies still going on?
I need to say though.........dat supernatural finale twist!!! HOLY shame!! Anyone else watch supernatural?
Season 2 finale of Hannibal was crazy
Dat GoT episode ending. Even though I've read the books it still made me feel feels
Spoiler for Don't click me:
Almost forgot about that Arya scene. Lmfao, Joker reborn.
I haven't seen any GoT since the end of season two... Doubt I will again unless I buy the seasons on blu ray or it comes to netflix or something... Trying to get rid of cable all together....
Dat game of thrones episode :S
I was kinda expecting him to be killed but this was fudgy brutal, such a grat character gone :S
the mountains should have been killed in the fight too, he his alive right ? I hope the hound kill that (my mom makes great fudge) in the most brutal dead scene ever in this show :S
I'm watching Game of Thrones and The 100... I'm liking both.
Just started GoT? You're in for a treat
Brazil HBO is on track with US... just one hour of difference... so I watched the last episode released Sunday ;)
PS. I'm reading the third book too.
Oh lol, nvm then. What did you think of the latest episode? ;o
Nice. I've read all 5. Currently waiting for the 6th...
I was expecting something different but it was good... I think it surprised most of audience... the next episodes will be even better I guess.
I'm watching Game of Thrones and The 100... I'm liking both.
the 100? I don't think I've seen that... I also want to see the tomorrow people that looked like a good show, but I hate not starting with the first episode of things that have an ongoing story line
That sounds really cool... a bunch of my favorite shows end abruptly after 1 season especially on cliff hangers... at least chuck didn't do that (o:
lol ice cream sitting in a cell... never heard of it though
Still have yet to watch the latest episode of GoT. On the other hand, The 100 season finale was freaking awesome!!
I'm watching this The 100... chapter 9 I guess.
watching the last GoT episode of the season right now!
I still have to watch the finale of GoT. Might try and watch it tonight. Episode 9 was awesome, imo! As long as daenerys' story for the season ends on a strong point I will be happy. She is by far the most interesting character for me. Arya and the hound are pretty good. Oh and also can't wait to see what happens with Hodor!!! and bran.
yeah I know what you mean
Ugh, Daenerys. She is such a disappointment if you read the books.
The finale should be good. Have yet to watch it but know what happens obviously.
Just to give my take... this season finally was completely different from the books :P the first seasons was better.
well it seems like the timeline has been off a bit for a little while now... overall though it still seems to be following the same plot no?
I started watching this show resurrection on hulu... glad it started at the first episode... my main gripe with hulu is that all these shows I'd like to watch don't start with episode 1 of the current season...
I watched resurrection.
It was ok.
I just started watching a doctor who spin off called the adventure of sarah jane or something like that its decent
Ugh, that GoT finale was definitely not as good as past finales. But there were some epic parts though!
yeah I think it kind of ended that episode on a lul... I mean its not horrible and leads to a great story arc, but too low a note in and of itself.
Is Lucy the "we only use 10% of our brain" movie? Yes, movie looks decent but I hate that people still use that 10%
Haha yeah she can suddenly control time and space with a bit more brain juice.
Gravity Falls tonight!!!!!!!!
*screams like 6 year old*
the hell is that
Yep. I must say I was expecting more from the show after Avatar
Definitely agree about that. Season 1 was better. I have only seen the first 2 episodes of season 3 so far.
I liked the Avatar more than Korra.
I really loved Avatar.
Avatar >>>>>> Korra
Fact. 8)
Avatar >>>>>> Korra

Yeah plus it was so amazing if you watched it in 3D.
But "The Last Airbender" is terrible especially if you watched it in 3D.
Anybody here watching HBO´s "The Newsroom" with Jeff Daniels and some other people. Its really good :-)

Avatar for me will forever refer to blue aliens.
And last airbender was not that bad imo.
Honestly it's probably the only movie I've ever disliked.
Avatar for me will forever refer to blue aliens.
And last airbender was not that bad imo.
You must've dislike Pocahontas and Dancing with Wolves too, then!
Can't say I am :(
You really should its really funny and very well acted.
I just watched the Korra Season 3 finale on Amazon.
You guys are missing out big time.
Never seen Dancing with Wolves.
Pocahontas was okay, not great though.
What about Fern Gully?
I'm watching how to get away with murder and liking it.
Also like Forever.
Scorpian is dumb.
I know it's still a while away, but I can't wait for the next game of thrones season.
Anyone watched Gotham? It's pretty good.
I just keep thinking it'll get boring from having to reimagine all the villain origin stories.
Scorpian had a few rubik's cubes on it.
Why is Scorpion dumb?
I understand the need to dumb nerdy stuff down to make it interesting for general audiences, but far too often they just make stuff up. Plus they dumb everyone else down to make the scorpion guys look better.
Examples? Feel free to make something up. ;)
"Which month has 28 days?"
"All of them."
"February."
"Correct!!"
For one, the question specifically asks for one month, so "all of them" is incorrect. You would be able to answer March or May, etc, because those are both a single month containing 28 days.
Second, all months in the Gregorian calendar have 28 days, but there are other calendars and some of these have months that don't have 28 days. For example, the Haab' (Mayan calendar) had 18 months of 20 days, plus 5 days. Sure it's not really in use anymore, but it counts I say. *waves angry fist in air*
So he's wrong. :P
watching the latest gotham episode now, can't wait to check out flash though either...
also finished SAOII
Flash was awesome! Definitely gonna be an awesome show.
Anyone watching the walking dead.
Anyone watching the walking dead.
Why's that?
Nope. Watched the pilot, but didn't stick around for the season.
Everyday for me is either work or school. The closest time I get to free time is when I sleep, or when I slack off.
Like monday mornings, but I don't like to do a lot because I feel bad that I enjoyed the time I slacked off.
Korra is still a good show (by western animation standards, at least). I think it's been hamstrung by its own structure, since it wasn't originally intended to be more than one season long, and thus couldn't have ATLA's epic-length, well-planned story arc. Season 2 felt particularly disjointed.
Anyone watching the walking dead.
American Horror Story = Americas Best TV Show
Weeeeeell maybe it's behind Game of Thrones, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY UP THERE!
Forever last night was great. Such an awesome show.
Agreed! Really enjoying it so far. Anyone know when it's back on yet?
Jan 13th I think
Thanks. It's always annoying when shows take this long break. I wanna see what happens next :D
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1492966/?ref_=nv_sr_3
Life with Louie?
Indubitably! Great stuff. Too bad the wait is so long between seasons >_>
Finished the whole series thus far of Sherlock.
Awesome series.
No but anyone seen Peaky Blinders on netflix?
Watched season 1 of Arrow was ok until the last 3 episodes which were awesome. Really tried of your forced drama shame CW.
What's it about?
A Chinese family moves from Chinatown DC to Orlando Florida in order to support the dad's new restaurant he started down there.
Interesting. Is it a comedy or a Drama or what?
Comedy. The dad is the actor who played Kim John Un in the interview.
You should prepare your body for House of Cards S3
Ah, interesting. I've never heard of it, then again I barely watch any TV so its no surprise. Only TV I watch now is what I've recorder, programs like NCIS and Downton Abbey, haven't seen adverts in a looong time
You should prepare your body for House of Cards S3

What about Game of Thrones?
Taiwanese...
Wow, the show makers are racist!
I guess I missed that. Plus the dad is Korean and the rest of the family is Chinese in real life, so you can't blame me for missing that!
I'm really loving The Flash. One of the best shows on TV right now.
Not the best imo, but I like it too.
Forever is the best.
GTFO!!!
I'm ready for Game of Thrones to come back!
too mainstream. Try better call saul
I'm really loving The Flash. One of the best shows on TV right now.
Did anyone else see that ending for the Flash tonight? Total Awesomeness. Kneel before Grodd!
As someone who doesn't read comments, I just thought it was a king kong jr.
I just get a laugh in the Flash, how he can run at the speed of PLOT!
So whenever he needs to catch a bullet or outrun a nuke, he can do it easy peasy. But suddenly some random dude can punch him in the face.
CW Y U NO WRITE GUD?
Wait, what??
It's awesome!
Wait, what??
how to get away with murder season finale tonight!
hype
House of Cards hype!
Spoil it for me

Vikings
I wanna watch some Hercules/Xena style shows. Other than Game of Thrones is there anything like that out there?
Vikings
That's what you think...until you watch it!
Bleh, I was thinking more medievil. I don't like Viking styles. No offence.
Anyone going to watch Marvel's Daredevil Netflix show?
Getting great reviews: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/daredevil/s01/
Enthusiastic, aren't you
Sure.
Enthusiastic, aren't you
Lol I wouldn't do that. It requires your full attention!
Well I got a video game gift card for Easter and I don't even feel like I have the time to buy and play one. Focusing on a Netflix show is not happening!!! hahaha
However while I work I can have it on in the background.
Indeed. Daredevil is also surprisingly awesome
Game of thrones!!!!

Ex-GF?
I fell asleep when I was trying to start on it lol

Holy shame. TVSOTY?
Fargo SOTG confirmed.Yeah I think it's not really related to season 1 at all, which is good for new viewers
Apparently season two has the guy from Burn Notice in it? Could not get my wife interested in trying season one at all but she is super willing to try season two.
So that episode of Doctor Who...Haven't seen it yet!
So that episode of Doctor Who...Seen it! That was crazy! It almost got me confused, which is quite an achievement.

First half was pretty good! I cheered at one bit :DWhat bit?
What bit?
They are all over the place. Normally the show is a bit more focusedYeah there was a lot of short scenes. That was basically just a little catch up on where all the stories were, with one big event. I'm guessing the real shame will start going down next episode.
anybody here watches quantico? its an amazing series.I watched up till the winter break. Haven't really felt the need to keep watching.
Strong start to this episode.It's unfocused again...
It's unfocused again...Yeah its annoying me a bit this. I hope next episode settles down.
Yeah its annoying me a bit this. I hope next episode settles down.You were right.
Wasn't expecting that one though :o :o
You were right.Oh my god.
It's unfocused again...I prefer it this way.

Game of thrones WOW!What a fudgy amazing episode!
What did people think of last night's game of thrones?I though it was okay. You?
I though it was okay. You?I thought it was brilliant. No action but the dialogue and politics were amazing
So I've just been thinking. Kim Possible is terribly underrated. Transformers, Gi Joes, Batman, Tiny Toons, Superman, Spider-man, Avatar, X-men, Animaniacs, etc. They'll all be remembered. Yet Kim Possible, just as good as any of those, will be forgotten... makes me sad.Why would Kim Possible be forgotten? I thought it was pretty well remembered.

Disney World not too long ago even worked it into Epcot.
Holy fudge was that a tv show? Not many films have ever done a battle sequence that well.That ending. :D
Incredible.
Im about to watch.. on my phone...You will like it very much!
Seriously one of the best finale's of GoT in a while. Music was sooooooo good in this episode!So was the cgi!
Spoiler for Hidden:
Ill watch that tonight when i get home.Spoiler for Hidden:
Silicon Valley was pretty great too.
It's so upsetting that next season of GoT is only gonna be 7 episodes.What? :(
What? :(Yep, D.B. weiss and David Benioff have said they think they are down to the final 13 episodes of the show after season 6. GoT director Jack Bender said they are planning for 7 episodes in season 7. Though it's not totally confirmed but it seem likely at this point. And Season 8 will probably be 6 maybe 7 episodes.
In an exclusive interview with Variety, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss said they are weighing wrapping up the Emmy-winning saga of Westeros and the battle for the Iron Throne with just 13 more episodes once this sixth season is over: seven episodes for season 7; six for the eighth and potential final season.Sauce (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/game-of-thrones-end-date-season-8-1201752746/)
I just love Silicon Valley. But, I just want to see them be successful already!!That will be the end of the show. Unless they want to sgow them turning into hoolie.
Just watched MR Robot Season 2 Episode 1...Excellent show. The music is outstanding yet again.I am Mr Robot. Beep boop.
Mr. Robot season 1 was such a great show. Some great twist and yeah the music is stellar. Can't wait for the premiere tonight.Part one was out last week!
Stranger Things on Netflix is fudgy ace! Great supernatural/sci fi/mystery!Agreed. Watched the 2 first episodes. Very intriguing so far
Agreed. Watched the 2 first episodes. Very intriguing so farI'm ready for episode 5. Gets even weirder/crazier!
So I got my 4K TV today...Got a free month trial of Netflix. I watched the first episode of Stranger Things. Definitely has my interest. Oh and it looks amazing. Pretty clear difference between my old TV and watching this show in 4K. The picture is extremely clear.Amazing show
Netflix is making a ton of marvel shows that are coming out pretty soon. Jessica Jones 2, Luke Cage, iron fist, defenders, daredevil 3Daredevil and Jessica Jones are great. Yay!
Just finished narcos season 2. What a mixed bag of emotions I'm feeling now. Hopefully they do a season 3. Fantastic series though.Season 3 and 4 are a go.
Season 3 and 4 are a go.Ah yeah I can definitely see it and I'd say they will be good too. Something to look forward too.
Haha doesn't start for another two hours for my timezone.Yeah they didn't have any previews for episode 2 at the end. Said to go online at 11pm pacific. Trying to keep that secrecy.
Also South Park starts tonight!
A 12 year old girl won America's got Talent.Congrats to her(she does have a great unique voice), but America made the absolute wrong decision. The Clairvoyants deserved it ten times more than her. Plus Brian Justin Crum is an absolute amazing singer way better than her and he got 4th.
Yeah it was odd. But I wanted her to win.Yeah I did, and Mel B was just as shocked though. I mean if I got constant praise from the judges as being one of the best acts every week, I'd be surprised too. Besides that one weird reaction I'd say he's probably one of the most humble contestants. No matter he'll get a record deal or put out an album as independent or something, The Clairvoyants will likely have a vegas show at some point, and john dorenbos will likely have something as well.
And my glad Crum didn't win. Did you see his reaction to his 4th place?
Luke Cage today!I'll be watching westworld for sure.
Westworld on Sunday. Anyone else hyped for that?
I'm about to start watching Gotham season 3! Whose with me??Just started season 1. I'll catch up. Although I don't love it yet.
Just started season 1. I'll catch up. Although I don't love it yet.You won't regret it, one of the best shows I've watched in a while. So many good characters.
I'm about to start watching Gotham season 3! Whose with me??Yep, new season is pretty rad so far! Won't say much else as to not spoil anything. Even though I could use spoiler tags. But now they won't be tempted to look!

Whos watching the walking dead tomorrow?Me for sure! Despite cliffhanger new season looks amazing.
Can't wait to find out who got the bat. And I'm looking forward to the internets salty tears when it's glen.Yeah it's been such a long wait.
Westworld was great tonight.Missed it, ill get it tomorrow. But the walking dead, i dont even have the words.
I'm about sick of people continually complaining about the season 6 cliffhanger. They delivered quite possibly one of the best episodes of the entire show and people still act like the cliffhanger ruined it. Honestly people get weirdly invested into shows. Just watch it and stop trying to analyze every single thing. How can you even enjoy that?I dont get it either. Im also getting sick pf how people are trying to compare it to torture bad stuff. Like they completely missed the point of that episode.
I dont get it either. Im also getting sick pf how people are trying to compare it to torture bad stuff. Like they completely missed the point of that episode.Yeah the one thing people need to understand about Negan is that he says he doesn't want to kill any of them, but they killed a lot of his men so he had to make an example of them and get them to submit. Yes he does enjoy killing to a point, but he doesn't do it just to do it. He does it to make everyone fall in line out of fear and usually only if they deserve it. Not to mention the gore was so laid back than what there would actually be in real life. There would have been a ton more blood.

And to top it off his death is nearly frame for frame with the comic.That was awesome. I was actually afraid they wouldn't show as much as they did. I'm so glad they went with the look from the comic.
Westworld was great tonight.I need to get into this, gribble also recommended I must watch it.
I'll be canceling Netflix. It's nice but a waste of money. The selection has gone down yet they're doing a price increase: nah I'm good.I only get charged like every 3 months for netfix. so ill keep with it.
Also luke cage was bad. Cool characters but horrible writing. I have one episode left but it's become frustrating to watch with how forced everything feels.
I only get charged like every 3 months for netfix. so ill keep with it.How did you manage that?
How did you manage that?Im not sure.
I'll be canceling Netflix. It's nice but a waste of money. The selection has gone down yet they're doing a price increase: nah I'm good.I do agree on Luke Cage. Its also a really slow burn show. Daredevil and Jessica Jones I loved and watched within the first week of them releasing. Luke Cage was a slog for me to get through. Have higher hopes for Iron Fist, Defenders, and Punisher
Also luke cage was bad. Cool characters but horrible writing. I have one episode left but it's become frustrating to watch with how forced everything feels.
Decent show tonight. But I got to say, whoever's playing negan is spot on. He bring so much tension every time he's on the screen. But the more we find out about him the more I don't understand how someone hasn't killed him yet. Not like it would be hard to put a bullet in his back.I think its more along the line that at this point he has a lot of hardcore followers who could go apeshit and kill anybody who would help getting rid of vegan or wanted too because they know it's working and that the whole community would likely fall apart without him. Plus no matter how much fear Negan puts into people they know its working and they are safe and have tons of food and supplies without having to do much work.. They have other communities getting everything for them.
Anybody watch the first episode of the Mars event series on Nat Geo? About to finish the first one. So far so good.I'll watch it at the end probably.
There is a part of me that wishes I could be a part of something like that. But at least I can create this stuff in my own game at some point in the future. That's as close as I'm gonna get.
Kind of lame, just the begining of a power shift at hill top.Yeah but I think it will happen by the midseason finale. or at least I'm hopeful it will. Gregory is a piece of shame.
Anyone seen season two of Mr Robot? Wife and I binge watched most of season one today and have one episode left. I'm hoping it's not like a Lost situation where the show hit bigger than expected so they are dragging it out.Me and my wife did the same. but we lost interest in season two.
If a person is watching a show for just 1 person they shouldn't be watching in the first place.Disagree with this. People watch shows for all kinds of reasons. Interesting characters, interesting story, interesting other things. Nothing wrong with watching a show because something is interesting, whether it's one character, the dynamic of the characters, etc.
Disagree with this. People watch shows for all kinds of reasons. Interesting characters, interesting story, interesting other things. Nothing wrong with watching a show because something is interesting, whether it's one character, the dynamic of the characters, etc.Well i guess i mean mostly if they are just watching because that's all they watch is for that character. Especially those "if so and so dies we riot". Some characters aren't on a show all episodes so there is something else they have to be watching the show for. If they quit a show just because their favorite died is the reason TWD hadn't killed so many big characters for so long. You can most definitely believe the reason TWD had a sharp drop in viewers was because of certain character deaths in the premiere.
This episode sucks....Eh I liked it. Tara was great, imo. If this is the oceanside like in the comics they are bringing them in early I think. I don't believe they show up in the comics until after certain events that should be coming soon. So I like they are getting them established now. Cause they just kind of show up randomly I think in the comic.
Also just binged all of westworld so far.........and HOLY shame!! Amazing show.I've got to catch up.
Also just binged all of westworld so far.........and HOLY shame!! Amazing show.Heck yeah it's game of thrones level for me.
Heck yeah it's game of thrones level for me.Yeah its probably one of my favorites of any show I've ever watched. HBO is on a roll with great shows that are my favorites. GoT, The Leftovers, and Westworld.
I've got to catch up.Finale is gonna be absolutely bonkers.
Well just about finished 2 episodes of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Really liking it. NPH as count olaf is great. I wasn't so sure about him from the trailers, but he's great. Can't wait to finally see the miserable mill adapted. Hoping the Ersatz Elevator is adapted in season 2. That's my favorite book from the series.Oh it's out!??
Oh it's out!??Yep just came out today.
Anyone watch Sherlock?I haven't seen the third episode yet, because I'm not British. :P
Anyone watch Sherlock?Watched the finale. Guess that's the end of Sherlock.
Watched the finale. Guess that's the end of Sherlock.I thought episode one was decent, episode 2 was great and episode 3 was meh.
Thought it was super good.
Reading reviews, and people didn't like it. A lot of these "plothole" complaints that I thought made sense...
I thought episode one was decent, episode 2 was great and episode 3 was meh.I wasn't super bothered by it.Spoiler for Hidden:
I wasn't super bothered by it.Spoiler for Hidden:
Anyone watch Legion on FX. Really loving it. It's a pretty good mutant(x-men) tv show.Yeah it's great.
Yeah it's great.Yeah I really like expanse too. As well as The Magicians.
Expanse is awesome too.
Bout through the first episode of Iron Fist. I'm not really understanding the criticism of it being bland. I'm way more intrigued by the story in the first episode than I was in the first half of Luke Cage. Luke Cage was very boring in the beginning. Liking this a lot better.Luke Cage was really disappointing imo. The formula of starting the episode with a tease of how it'll end was so bad. The teased ending was obvious and what I expected, why can't you just cut straight to it and remove so much filler!?
My opinion could change though after I get through more episodes.
Westworld is so promising omgOne of my favorite shows.
Finished this new show called 13 Reasons Why on Netflix.I'm currently watching it. Finished 4 episodes so far. Very good
What a great show (If you could call it that...) I quite enjoyed it and thought it had some great insight into people who are thinking about/contemplating the topics of the show (I won't spoil it).
You really do feel bad for the main character, but some parts you feel like they brought some things on themselves...Overall, I would recommend watching it.
Seems like tv is hitting its stride again after some lull time.*ears prick up*
Apparently Fargo season 3 is coming very soon. Then the get down part 2 is out right now
*ears prick up*April 19,baby
Did somebody just say Fargo... season 3?
Oh and let's not forget Rick and Morty season 3!I didn't even know.
April 19,baby
Seems like tv is hitting its stride again after some lull time.I feel the opposite a little. A lot of the shows I watch have had arguably their worst seasons and I just have a hard time watching anything. I'm glad 4-5 of my shows are having their final seasons so I can have less to watch. And there isn't much new that I want to watch.
Apparently Fargo season 3 is coming very soon. Then the get down part 2 is out right now
Anyone watching 13 reasons why? I dont think i can finish it. But the wife is hooked...Yep finished it. Kept me hooked. First 3 or 4 are the slowest of them, after that it gets pretty crazy. Reminds you how easy it is for someone to take things the wrong way and end up hurting them.
Yep finished it. Kept me hooked. First 3 or 4 are the slowest of them, after that it gets pretty crazy. Reminds you how easy it is for someone to take things the wrong way and end up hurting them.I'm 8 episodes in. It's really good
Last episode was fudgy heartbreaking though.
I'm 8 episodes in. It's really goodIm on 9, got the content warning. nuggets about to get real.
Well we finished it last night. My wife was pretty messed up over it. It gets pretty heavy.I think I have 3 left. Really getting great. Main dude is a great actor
Well we finished it last night. My wife was pretty messed up over it. It gets pretty heavy.Yeah that last episode is hard to watch.
I think I have 3 left. Really getting great. Main dude is a great actorI was definitely surprised by him. I had seen him in a couple other things, but this took him to another level. Could feel the emotion in every scene he was in.
It was so well done. PowerfulI like how clay kind of became the narrator at the end once the tapes ran out.
fudge those dragons looks amazing! Absolutely huge! Season is gonna be batshit crazy.
HYPE
I'm guessing this season will focus on the throne while the next one will focus on the white walkers.

WHAT THEEEEE fudge!!!!
In what world will a 7 episode final season need 2 years to create
One with marketing.This sounds like they are wiling to give writing and production as much time as they need though. I doubt the show runners will take that long since i've read many times that they are ready to finish and move on. I could see them finishing production of the season as quick as they usually do and then HBO taking longer though like you are saying.

Also double blow for you, the last season is 6 episodes
Anyone seen warehouse 13?Is it better than 12? Hopefully it can top 9, that was my favorite.
Watching Mortal Kombat Conquest the 1998 TV series. Bad bad acting and bad fighting scenes but I can't stop watching it.You are always sooo right, it's incredible. I admire your correctness
This sunday.The hype is fudgy real
5 hours!Staying up?
Staying up?I am indeed
I am indeedNice.
Nice.I haven't seen her in much but its great that its a woman for the first time
So what do you think about the new doctor?
I haven't seen her in much but its great that its a woman for the first timeYup. Saw her in broadchurch and an episode of black mirror and she was good. Never would've guessed she'd end up as the doctor though!
9 minutes!!!Best tv show here we gooooo!
Best tv show here we gooooo!I hope! Lower episode count and being the being the last 2 seasons should have this being some really fast paced amazing shame, hopefully.
Last season episode 1 was the weakest, I hope it's better this time
I haven't seen her in much but its great that its a woman for the first timePolitically correct librals ruining our society!!!! /s
That cold opening was amazing!! Best premiere in a while. This season looks to be bonkers!!Agreed. The cold opening was the best bit. Queen keeps slaying :D
Agreed. The cold opening was the best bit. Queen keeps slaying :DI can't believe they actually got us caught up on pretty much every character in just one episode while making it not feel too packed. Feels so weird only having 6 more episodes this season. They better bring it!
I think it was the second best premiere of the show, behind season 4. Preview for next episode makes it look like the action really kicks off next week.
I can't believe they actually got us caught up on pretty much every character in just one episode while making it not feel too packed. Feels so weird only having 6 more episodes this season. They better bring it!Yeah, last season's opener was catch up on every character, except each one got a much shorter segment and they didn't get through all of them. They've seriously cut down now and you can tell from now on every scene is going to be significant. Last season, episode 1 was by far the weakest episode. If that's the same here then it'll be the best season by far.
Also I'm so fudgy glad Arya isn't just a killing machine. Her scene with the Lannister soldiers was really good, it showed she's still kind and isn't purely out to kill everyone now. That is, if she didn't kill those soldiers after the scene ends ;DWas kinda odd having Ed Sheeran in the show but I really liked that scene. Kept on worrying she was about to slaughter them all.
Its also nice to see some average soldiers who, instead of being psychopaths or idiots like we normally see, talk about their families and their desire to return home. Soldiers who are happy to give a girl, travelling alone, some food. Most of them are probably like that - good people - but we barely ever get to see it.
Nice.
So what do you think about the new doctor?
I hope Arya kicks some more dog. Taking down the Freys like that was pretty bad dog. I have a feeling the Cersei will kill Arya though.I hope the start of this episode is her killing all of those nice soldiers cause she's cray cray.
Watching Mortal Kombat Conquest the 1998 TV series. Bad bad acting and bad fighting scenes but I can't stop watching it.I remember when it first came out. Fight scenes were good. The story was good, but it jumps the shark pretty quickly. The terminator chick was hot. Though it was a 90s live action tv show. There was only so much you can do at the time.
Dumb dog reek made a guest appearance.What was he supposed to do there though? Jumping overboard might have been the best decision.

There was only so much you can do at the time.Fight scenes have improved, about halfway through now. There are still some dodgy bits.
So I stated watching Star Trek DS9. The later seasons were really good, but man did the show change. The first few episodes were so simple, in a good way.
Last nights episode was great!Yeah it was awesome. Great to see those two finally meet. I suspect after the events at the end of the episode Dany will be more likely to be nicer to Jon. She needs him more and more. Not sure how I feel about the pacing of the last ten minutes, but I think it was done quite well.
Didnt expect the meeting to go down lime that.

He's lost all emotions by the looks of it. Probably just thought it was a good way to prove his powers to his sisterI think it was a good way to show everybody that he is not the bran we used to know from last season and before. Knowing everything that has and is happening would be a tough thing probably. Not too mention all the stuff he probably learned about his family he never knew.

It felt like a sharp change to me. Like all of a sudden he's this emotionless dude but a few eps ago he was almost the oppositeYeah but this is probably a decent amount of time since we really last seen him minus the premiere. Probably months since journeying back to the wall and winterfell. It's just the show is speeding fast and characters seem to pass great distances in days or less but it's usually much longer.
I managed to find a decent quality video of the thrones episode leak. Spoiler for my impression of the episode (won't say anything about what happened)dang you!! I tried to see if it was on the kodi app on my firestick, but it's not there.Spoiler for Hidden:

Probably from the trailers thenYeah I don't watch trailers for movies, games, or TV shows anymore if I'm interested. I've learned from experience that it's so much better to go in with as little knowledge as possible.
Just listen to it!
Pretty slow got episode after last weekBy pretty slow you mean it had no action, right? The plot was moving at lightning speed.
Next episode is to be an hour and 11 minutes with the finale being an hour and 21 minutes.The avengers are all going to die
Next episode should be so good!

Watched the first two seasons of Rick and Morty.Lol that's an understatement
Pretty good. :o
Lol that's an understatementYeah it's probably my favorite cartoon show, maybe of all time.
Lol that's an understatementFine. ::)
Yeah it's probably my favorite cartoon show, maybe of all time.I'd certainly put it up there.
South ParkMost of the shows I really love, are pretty different that I wouldn't really feel fair comparing.
Rick and Morty
Pick one
Rick and Morty has a lot of Gravity Falls references.
Hulu updated their PS4 app.It's crazy how these huge billion dollar companies don't have common sense with stuff like this.
Now it starts up with a sound that is far more obnoxious than it has any right to be.
Also the UI is pretty obnoxious too.

Brooklyn 99 is back!awesome show. i have yet to watch the new episode, i am saving it for later.
Cool cool cool cool
It's crazy how these huge billion dollar companies don't have common sense with stuff like this.Look at how easy it is to find shows now! /s
It happens all the fricken time.
I wasn't very impressed with the season finale of Rick and Morty.I loved it. Not really a good finale but the fights with the president were great.
I don't know exactly why. I think because it was just an episode that pretty much focused on Rick being petty without going on any kind of real adventure.
But I enjoyed the end of it.
Was watching some YouTube videos about fan theories about Rick and Morty. I'm so excited for season 4.Finale was really good.
Really amazing show.
There's only like 10 pieces of media that get me this excited.
Its about to start!Madam Secretary new episode?
Madam Secretary new episode???? no.. the walking dead.
??? no.. the walking dead.Ugh
Stranger Things!Yes!
How good is it so far?Cant watch it till later tonight.
They really just did that in The Walking Dead.Thats battleship. They could have recast his character. Not close his story line. People would have gotten use to it after a few episodes.

I watched most of the first season of walking dead, but never went back. I kinda thought it was canceled at one point.I saw up until the third season, then I went on to watch Air Bender and Young Justice. I think I made the right choice.
(that post is from like 3 months ago).I can reply to posts from months ago! >:(
I watched the first few seasons.
It's a show I'd kinda like to have watched, but I never feel like I want to watch it.
So I finally got round to watching Mr Robot season 3 and wow its so much better than season 2, and probably season 1. Just finished ep. 6, and that episode plus the one before is some of the best TV I've ever seen..I'm still at s02e02 I think lol. Got kind of weird so I stopped
I'm still at s02e02 I think lol. Got kind of weird so I stoppedYeah most of season 2 is weird and not so good. It's like a different TV show.

Have you read the books?
April 11 I believeI'm still in season 1 of the expanse the TV series, and finished the first two books. The series did do some stuff that were cool and interesting, but generally the books are better. Specially when it comes to miller's story line and character. They botched his sense of morality.

Indeed. Still wondering if it can be as intriguing as the first though
Oh myyyyyyyyy I'm so ready for this season. Trailer is amazing.
Indeed. Still wondering if it can be as intriguing as the first thoughYeah that'll be hard. So much of the world is already explained. If they need to have new twists and surprises, it could turn into a LOST clone.
Yeah that'll be hard. So much of the world is already explained. If they need to have new twists and surprises, it could turn into a LOST clone.I'm worried about it for sure. Its going to be completely different, but in truth we know nothing about the wider world that this is set in, so there's still lots of surprises possible.

Westworld season 2 trailer appeared in the cinema in the middle of all the movie trailers. It was kinda weird but awesome, I've never seen a TV show trailer there before.That's kinda odd. In America the tv trailers are before the movie trailers as just general ads.
That's kinda odd. In America the tv trailers are before the movie trailers as just general ads.Well they usually are here too. I guess they're really trying to push Westworld.
Holy shame La Casa de Papel was good (Money Heist) .Why does it have two different names?

Why does it have two different names?They changed names, probably to get more viewership in English viewing countries.

Where's the Westworld hype at? :DGetting eaten by GoW.
Well that was sufficiently weird.I thought it was great. I'm hyped for this season now.
I feel like we learned absolutely nothing about what's going on.
I thought it was great. I'm hyped for this season now.Yeah I'm definitely hyped for the rest. Can't wait to see more parks and stuff. I was just hoping this episode would be more substantial. It was just an hour long teaser for the rest of the series really.
Seems they weren't affraid to switch up the formula.
Wait more parks? Did i miss something?Probably. More parks than Westworld was teased a lot towards the end of last season. The big teases were the Samurai hosts, and Maeve's paper specifying park 1 as a location. This episode confirmed it (other parks' existence were mentioned multiple times). I think HBO have confirmed there's something like 6 parks.
The 100 season 5 is almost upon us!! HYPE!!YES i'm so excited for the 100!
also watched the first episode of "lost in space" not bad. It was fun. I hope it can continue to be as good as it does along.
Cool the 100 episode. This season seems it's gonna be awesome if they tone down on the drama crud.yeah I liked it. Was better than some of the past episodes in the later seasons for sure. I love how this season was basically a reboot on the world.

Ya'll need to buy one of the best shows on television.
dang that westworld episode was fudgy great. I'm loving it.Showed so much of the world.
Showed so much of the world.And I'm loving the stories. Her scene with the confederados and trying to recruit them gave me GoT vibes.
Westworld was greatYeah it was. I'm really liking this series so far. Its a lot less intentionally confusing, and just seems to be doing the usual hiding some plot details for shocks later, like all top TV shows do :D
Yeah it was. I'm really liking this series so far. Its a lot less intentionally confusing, and just seems to be doing the usual hiding some plot details for shocks later, like all top TV shows do :DI liked how in this episode Delores showed some emotions. With the past two episodes she was feeling a bit robotic and singularly focused on taking over the world.
Plus I'm getting some real game of thrones vibes from some of the scenes too. Delores is amazing, I just have no idea what she actually wants to do.
So who here has seen Happy? Such a breath of fresh air ;DI haven't. Kevin Probably Saves the world was happy, but it was canceled :'(
Westworld was fantastic. Best episode of the season so far.It was confusing!
I haven't. Kevin Probably Saves the world was happy, but it was canceled :'(What was confusing about it?
Expanse was canceled :'(
Brooklyn 99 was canceled but brought back!
It was confusing!
I haven't. Kevin Probably Saves the world was happy, but it was canceled :'(Expanse was picked up by NBC tho BOI

What was confusing about it?It had a lot of new things!
Expanse was picked up by NBC tho BOIYeah you got your shows confused!
Oh no that was brooklyn
It had a lot of new things!Yeah you got your shows confused!Let's hope NBC picks up the Expanse too. Why would they cancel it??
It had a lot of new things!Only stuff that had been hinted at before. Pretty much everything in this episode was explaining something. It answered more questions than any episode except season 1 finale I think.
Let's hope NBC picks up the Expanse too. Why would they cancel it??Old ways of doing business. The expanse is heavily watched streaming. Not so much live. This is a perfect pick up for netflixs.

Yeah I am very intregued as to what exactly is happening with Maeve. Still so many questions to answer.Yeah there is a part of me who like dolores like this, but her emotions swing in different directions a lot.
Also,Spoiler for Hidden:
Yeah there is a part of me who like dolores like this, but her emotions swing in different directions a lot.I don't think she has emotional swings, she just hides her true intentions quite well. I really love her character.

The Expanse picked up by Amazon!Was about to post this news. Just came across it on twitter.
Jeff Bezos for president!He could be the moon president.
The Expanse picked up by Amazon!Good now I have a desire to finish season 3
Just started westworld season 2. Interesting so far!That's a good word to describe it.
Holy shame episode 4. I want to know what's happening!!The best episode (of this season). Ooh I might stay up and watch live for once tonight.
Just getting better and better!Oh my god yep it is. Just keeps picking up!
Just getting better and better!Ep 4>ep 5
Ep 4>ep 5Well this is true. Ep 6 pretty much matches Ep 4 imo, although it is a lot shorter.
Well this is true. Ep 6 pretty much matches Ep 4 imo, although it is a lot shorter.Hmm I thought it got a bit boring in parts.

I can't wait. I get goosebumps just remembering the show. Even my dad watched it and he hates these things.Down to $30. :o
Hmm I thought it got a bit boring in parts.What CG?
Great ending though, even if it was expected.
So are they going to CG him the whole season?
Then why do it like this until now? All the scenes have been reflections and stuffSpoiler for Hidden:
Then why do it like this until now? All the scenes have been reflections and stuffWhat do you mean all the scenes? He's only been in it once.
What do you mean all the scenes? He's only been in it once.Huh? Nope.
Huh? Nope.
Reflection when they were showing his past self with Dolores iirc.
There was also at least one other one but I don't remember it now. Then this scene from last ep was another reflection and CG
Oh yeah I thought that was a flashback though.Spoiler for Hidden:
Yeah plus just think of it from a money perspective. Doing CGI for something that doesn't need to be CGI is pretty expensive.Yeah but then I don't understand it at all. Maybe he was unavailable during filming for that

I think season 2 of 13 reasons why was better than the first.Really? Got awful reviews. Haven't started yet because of that
Really? Got awful reviews. Haven't started yet because of thatI didn't check reviews. It's worth a watch. The first half drags a bit, but it gets better. The last two make the whole season.
I think season 2 of 13 reasons why was better than the first.Yeah I agree! Though I miss the tape narration like first season. Those were perfect. But it was nice getting more sides to the story.
Yeah I agree! Though I miss the tape narration like first season. Those were perfect. But it was nice getting more sides to the story.Well it sorta does that still, but each charater does their own.
Well it sorta does that still, but each charater does their own.True, but I miss it being hannah. Her narration on the tapes was great.
Been watching Smallville on hulu lately. Always wanted to watch it. I'm liking it a lot even if it is cheesy at times.First few seasons?
First few seasons?Yeah I'm on season 2 right now.
Yeah I'm on season 2 right now.Ah. That takes me waaaay back.
OMGYeah it's getting crazy!
Yeah it's getting crazy!I can't believe some of that stuff happened though!
Wow. Amazing, down to Earth and emotional episode. Completely different tone and they nailed it. Best Westworld episode ever I think, and not for shocks or reveals or anything, just an outstandingly well made episode with lots of heart.I'm now two behind
Wow. Amazing, down to Earth and emotional episode. Completely different tone and they nailed it. Best Westworld episode ever I think, and not for shocks or reveals or anything, just an outstandingly well made episode with lots of heart.Wasn't there a reveal there at the end though? They turned his wife into her?
Wasn't there a reveal there at the end though? They turned his wife into her?No.
No.Oh yeah thought about that too. That other thing was a bit of a long shot lolSpoiler for Hidden:
What in the actual fudge!! Amazing finale. Some confusing shame though at the end.Yeah I don't like Era for TV shows. They never seem to be happy about anything, I just ignore them.
I swear Era is never a good place to read about TV shows. Sure this season was a little more clusterfucky than last season, but it ultimately in the end makes sense. If some think this show is garbage and bad what in the fudge do they even like to watch. I mean, opinions, but still. This show is so good!
That post-credit scene though is weird, but just because it has no context surrounding it. Though the creators of the show have confirmed what some are thinking and will become more clear next season.
God I hope we don't have to wait till 2020 to get a new season.
I missed the past 2 weeks so I watched them back to back and then the final episode.But it's always been that sci fi.
Was good but also odd and weird. I definitely need more time to reflect on it before deciding how I feel. Some stuff felt kinda retconny but that might have been me just being confused.Spoiler for Hidden:
But it's always been that sci fi.
Well michio kaku has talked about this very thing before, becauseSpoiler for Hidden:
Well michio kaku has talked about this very thing before, becauseI love the concept. There's a TV show on Netflix that deals with it a lot too.But I know the average Legend isn't watching michio kaku on youtube to hear him talk about these things. But it isn't as far fetched as it may seem.Spoiler for Hidden:
I think another issue this season had was that I didn't value the lives of random hosts. Often they tried to make you care for a host but I just saw them as code unless they were woke.Yeah it could have done that much better. Some episodes it was pushing us to care for them and sympathise with them, others it was just like oh they're only code stop bothering. Its like there's only a few we're supposed to care about, but why those? Why should we be okay with Dolores killing loads of them?
Isn't 9 seasons enough lol?
This honestly looks really good. I'm hyped! Sure sucks about Andrew Lincoln leaving, but seriously actors have other stuff they want to do, plus he wants to spend time with family.
It's funny seeing all the people on Era saying they are dropping the show once rick leaves. It's a constant TWD haterfest on there anyway.
Finally! 2 freaking years since the first season.
Oh what the eff! Realized Mr robot had appeared on Icelandic Amazon prime so I watched season 2 in the past few days. I'm now up to the two part finale and they say it's currently unavailable?? Wtf. Along with season 3,which I can see is there but unavailable to watch.Just pirated it. Yay for no region locking
Why would the finale be unavailable when I've been able to watch the rest of the season with no problems? Can't be due to timing related issues because this season finished in 2016...
Rewatched Gravity Falls.Hmm what is it about? I have heard about it before but not much
Was amazing. :-*
Hmm what is it about? I have heard about it before but not muchIt's a cartoon about twins who live with their grand uncle over the summer in a town with a lot of mysteries.
It's a cartoon about twins who live with their grand uncle over the summer in a town with a lot of mysteries.So it's good?

Is it nerdy and for older people too or is it just a great kids show that anyone can enjoy?Id say it's fairly nerdy.

My good man Xev finished Avatar The Last Airbender today.Indeed I did, I loved it!
One of the best animated shows, let's be honest here fella's.
I just finished the second season of The Dragon Prince, which is created by the same guy who directed Avatar TLA. It started off pretty good, but it's getting better and better.
Think I'm gonna watch The Dragon Prince as well.It's no where as good as Avatar, but if it keeps improving, it'll be a pretty great show.
My good man Xev finished Avatar The Last Airbender today.Agreed. It's definitely getting better.

Agreed. It's definitely getting better.Yeah Avatar season 1 was good but nothing special, it had great moments but it definitely started slow.
I remember Avatar starting slow too though
Yeah Avatar season 1 was good but nothing special, it had great moments but it definitely started slow.I think there's potential for something very good in this new series as well. Second season opened things up
Some spoilers in there tho
Sure you've all seen it already. Awesome trailer, very hype without showing too much.
Holy shame, watching The Expanse season 3 right now and it is SO GOOD. If you like scifi you'll love this show. Heck, if you like slow moving drama in many ways similar to GoT you'll love it as wellYeah I need to catch up on it. I may just rewatch all seasons again. I've got so many shows to finish though. Trying to watch The Order on Netflix. Now I need to watch The OA season 2, finish star trek discovery plus the shows I watch on CW.

Probably haven't yet. I'm still quite earlylol. I'll try and finish some of them this week if i can, then move to The Expanse. I'm loving star trek season 2 though. Some of the slow drama in The Expanse puts me off sometimes, but I liked what I saw in Season 1 and 2

Rick and Morty is incredible
----------
On a different note:
Rick and Morty has grown on me a lot.
It went from a great show the first time I watched the 3 seasons, to one of my favorites with a lot of emotional attachment.
Cutting it close, but I have finished rewatching all past seasons of game of thrones. I am hyped!!!That's definitely on purpose. Ned passed it down to Jon and he teaches the same way his father taught him.
One interesting thing I noticed this time around (no spoilers) is that a lot of stuff is repeated. Some times it is just a similar situation that is used for artistic reasons, but other times it is a full re-quoting of a line from different characters in a different situation. I wouldn't dare look this up online this close to the next episode, but it's really interesting having this repetition. The big example that made me really notice it wasSpoiler for Hidden:
That's definitely on purpose. Ned passed it down to Jon and he teaches the same way his father taught him.It seems like it is more than that.
Game of thrones episode 2 leaked early and I watched it. Thought it was brilliant, way better than episode 1.Interesting. I thought episode 1 was average at best tbh. I fear that this season will be too predictable and Hollywood compared to what was more based on the books.
Interesting. I thought episode 1 was average at best tbh. I fear that this season will be too predictable and Hollywood compared to what was more based on the books.Definitely will be, but episode 2 was a big improvement over 1. Episode 3 is gonna be phenomenal.
#2 sucked lol.If that's your opinion then what the fudge are you even watching GoT for any more? It was the culmination of 8 seasons of character arcs, perfect interactions between various characters and perfect sendoffs for those who seem likely to die next episode. Tied up most loose ends with various characters. Brienne being knighted is one of my favourite scenes in the entire show, so emotional and they nailed it. It was also perfect setup for the battle next episode.
Only had like one minute of important stuff. Rest was filler.

What made game of thrones so amazing has been the character driven plot, the great character development and the interactions between these intelligent characters. This episode was a return to form in that regard and it nailed it.
The writing was also great, back to season 4 quality for the first time since the last two episodes of season 6. It was a brilliant episode, kind of feel sorry for you :P
That's a kinda rude response...Yeah sorry I was getting annoyed at all the negative stuff people were saying on Era and let it out a bit on you :P
Sure I'll need to rewatch it since I was focused on Easter yesterday but disliking an episode isn't a bad thing.
Yeah sorry I was getting annoyed at all the negative stuff people were saying on Era and let it out a bit on you :Pyeah I was browsing the game of thrones subreddit yesterday and it added a lot of context to your post. I didn't realise there was such a divide between opinions.
Of course its fine that you don't like it, its just a shame since a lot of people loved it. Hopefully you'll love next week's episode.
Good episode and nice buildup for a huge one next week. I like that it won't just be a huge battle with how they'll use Bran to lure him into a trap. Also, are they really heavily foreshadowing Stark zombies in the tomb or what lol?Yeah at this point I'll be shocked if the crypt isn't infiltrated in some way.
Well here's hoping in 12 hours time we'll have witnessed the greatest episode of TV in history :DHaha I doubt it. But it'll no doubt be very good. People will die
Haha I doubt it. But it'll no doubt be very good. People will dieLol well it depends what you'd consider the best episode of TV to be. But yeah it'll be tough. As long as it matches Sapochnik's best episodes (Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards and Winds of Winter) then I'll be happy.
Episode 3 screenshots have leaked and spoilers are out there.Time to see you on the other side!
Agreed on that, Arya killing him is awesome but it was just way too easy. And yeah up to the last 30 minutes it was hit and miss but then the next 20-25 mins were amazing. As soon as the night king survived the dragonfire and raised the dead it was awesome and tense but as soon as everyone was just pinned down and not being killed for apparently no reason you knew what was gonna happen and it kind of ruined the tension for me.Spoiler for Hidden:
Spoiler alertSorry I thought we were allowed to spoiler talk about aired episodes in here :P
Sorry I thought we were allowed to spoiler talk about aired episodes in here :PNot a few hours afterwards! It doesn't air here until like 1 AM lol
All that build up for the night king to die in a single 8/10 quality episode. That's the disappointment. No long war, intricate plot or extremely clever twist. No major deaths or consequences. Nothing. All the build up for the night king and what did he do? Kill Jorah Mormont, Theon Greyjoy and a few minor characters. Wow, well done army of the dead you really devastated westeros. :-\To be fair most of the north died there lol
Alt Shift X thinks the Night King might come back in some way. If he does then this episode is redeemed and it would be awesome. But if this is the end for the NK and Bran's storyline then yeah what a letdown.I doubt he comes back. I do think this isn't the end of Bran's story
Cross post from Era:Didn't Greyworm die? Also yeah it felt weird seeing both Jaime and Brienne surviving that onslaught when everyone else around them died.Spoiler for Hidden:
To be fair most of the north died there lolNope, Grey Worm is fine, both dragons are fine, Ghost is fine, everyone with a name in the crypts is fine. I'm not gonna feel any tension or suspense watching the last few episodes, the show has completely shaken off the expectation that any major character could die at any moment.
I doubt he comes back. I do think this isn't the end of Bran's story
Didn't Greyworm die? Also yeah it felt weird seeing both Jaime and Brienne surviving that onslaught when everyone else around them died.
I feel like Dany dying would've been a shock and kind of make sense for the show at the same time. However, it would destroy the eventual feud between her and Jon for the throne
BTW, didn't Jon's dragon die too? That's quite a few semi-major characters
I wasn't sure if the dragon Jon was riding was killed or not. It fell to the ground with jon falling off and then we only see 1 dragon laying with dany at the end so I figured that was confirmation 1 of them died.Well the preview for next episode showed both dragons alive and happily flying around as if no damage was done to them at all... so yeah...
Well the preview for next episode showed both dragons alive and happily flying around as if no damage was done to them at all... so yeah...ah must have missed that.
Well the preview for next episode showed both dragons alive and happily flying around as if no damage was done to them at all... so yeah...Right, lol.
Right, lol.Yeah. Episode 3 was brought down by the writing, Sapochnik's direction was still phenomenal. I hope episode 5 delivers. After this though I'm not gonna get too hyped or get my hopes for anything special. Not going to expect any twists or turns, just sit and relax and enjoy the spectacle.
I saw the same director will direct episode 5. Sounds like the last major battle happens then
Interesting. I thought episode 1 was average at best tbh. I fear that this season will be too predictable and Hollywood compared to what was more based on the books.I have to say I called it!
Haha I doubt it. But it'll no doubt be very good. People will dieAnd again!
I have to say I called it! And again!Yep, you basically did.
Just saw this on reddit and lol'd:That scene was very impressive though. Not shaming CGI. Did you watch the making of?
GRRM: This fan favourite character Oberyn Martell is this amazing guy with a fully developed backstory, he is going to save our beloved Tyrion, look at how he's beating the mountain in single combat, one of the most feared fighters in the seven kingdoms, and someone who is heavily influential upon Oberyns character arc. Oops looks like his own character flaws have resulted in a sudden and gruesome death and tyrion is iced. No heroic death here just tragedy.
D&D: lyanna was meant to be a one scene character but she became such a fan favourite we kept giving her more and more and eventually gave her this scene that looks like terrible cgi and is entirely forced where she singlehandedly kills a wight giant, so we can send her off in a heroic way.
Seriously D&D give away how dumb they are in all their interviews. They're straight up just admitting they do everything for the cool factor, or a surprise. That's all they think about. They don't give a single shame about all the character arcs and all the build up that came before, just do something because its COOOOOOL
That scene was very impressive though. Not shaming CGI. Did you watch the making of?Well I disagree with them on the shaming CGI for sure but it was an awful scene, one of the things I hated about the episode.
The reaction from normal people after the episode is shock quite often, at least in rl and on my fb lol
skipped important conversationsYeah that was something that bummed me out. I always enjoyed when the show kept a conversation going and didn't leave it up to your imagination.
Holy shame, thinking about the episode again. It was beyond stupid in places. Gigantic plot holes and random moments, cheesy scenes, skipped important conversations, weapons that are accurate as snipers one moment and not at all the next etc.Yeah me and my friends watched it again and we just legit burst out laughing at some points. Its just the most bizarre episode ever, definitely deserves the low reviews.
Yeah me and my friends watched it again and we just legit burst out laughing at some points. Its just the most bizarre episode ever, definitely deserves the low reviews.Yeah I laughed at all the times they mentioned the results of the battle, ending with "and they took X"
Yeah I laughed at all the times they mentioned the results of the battle, ending with "and they took X"Lol my friend spotted what the new Dothraki leader did on the table and was like wait WHAT, went back and rewatched it. The dothraki leader took half of the blocks representing the dothraki. Yes, they're claiming half of the dothraki survived. Half of the unsullied surviving was hilarious enough but half of the dothraki as well is just so fudgy funny (and also half of the north men and half of the knights of the vale... wow conveniently all half :o )
Beyond stupid what happened to the dragon
too

Oh you mean that missandei was randomly captured and the rest of them seem to shore just fine... yeah.Lol yeah and they kept saying it afterwards, I laughed at that for some reason.
I haven't watched GoT, but I'm still thinking of you all:This is true, also it wasn't even a starbucks cup :oSpoiler for Hidden:
I really enjoyed that episode!
I'm seething. What the fudge was that....
...I enjoy watching what was an intelligent show with amazing characters and logical, consistent story. All we got now is a dumb hollywood blockbuster that's a huge middle finger to all the proper fans. This season has made the Michael Bay Transformers writing look good.
Whatever you two enjoy about the show, it doesn't appear to overlap much....

Do you still feel the same way now that it's a full day later?Well the script hasn't magically changed from being dumb as fudge so ya ;D
Decent episode up until the "battle". Holy fudge, they made Dany dumb as fudgeWhat was dumb about her? She was angry yo.
Well the script hasn't magically changed from being dumb as fudge so ya ;DEh this episode redeemed the season for me. One of the best episodes of the show imo. Also did a good job contextualizing events from previous episodes.
What was dumb about her? She was angry yo.Uhm, she killed everyone because she was angry. This is the same person that freed slaves wherever she went
Eh this episode redeemed the season for me. One of the best episodes of the show imo. Also did a good job contextualizing events from previous episodes.
What was dumb about her? She was angry yo.There's quite a big jump between being angry at your enemy and ignoring your enemy to methodically comitt genocide.
Eh this episode redeemed the season for me. One of the best episodes of the show imo. Also did a good job contextualizing events from previous episodes.
It's also really easy to enter the palace, apparently.Yeah characters just appear randomly where they're needed no matter how dumb it is or what it does to their archs.
Euron magically appeared at Jamie's spot
Uhm, she killed everyone because she was angry. This is the same person that freed slaves wherever she wentThat's kinda the point. She put ~150 or so masters up on crucifix equivalents in a past season but we kinda viewed it as ok at the time. It was presented as a bad political move but not an evil move. However in retrospect, she has always tried to rule by fear. In the same season her former slave advisor disobeyed orders because he thought he was doing the right thing. Dany's response was to publicly execute him to send a message.
So many character archs have been butchered and so many characters have been made completely useless.That's classic game of thrones. People aren't supposed to have plot armor.
It's also really easy to enter the palace, apparently.Euron was always annoying. Probably my least favorite character on the show. Should have let him drowned.
Euron magically appeared at Jamie's spot
That's kinda the point. She put ~150 or so masters up on crucifix equivalents in a past season but we kinda viewed it as ok at the time. It was presented as a bad political move but not an evil move. However in retrospect, she has always tried to rule by fear. In the same season her former slave advisor disobeyed orders because he thought he was doing the right thing. Dany's response was to publicly execute him to send a message.She put up ~150 masters for crucifixion after they crucified that many children, its one of Dany's darkest moves but it was still only targeted at the people who deserved it. And again with the execution, her strategy has always been to send public messages by targeting and singling out only those who are at fault. Just like last season when she asked the Tarlys to bend the knee and they refused, she burned them but nobody else.
She strongly disliked slavery but she was never a benevolent ruler while freeing them.
She is now in Westeros and has seen that the people despise her. In her mind they are closer to the masters instead of the slaves. She also has lost practically everything since coming to Westeros. The throne is the only thing she has left and even that goal is crumbling in front of her. She made the conscious decision to rule by fear before the battle, but during the battle it was mostly just anger imo. She tried to get them to surrender multiple times before but only now that she has lost her dragon and her close friend do they give up. She doesn't want them to avoid consequences that easily, she wants revenge.

Just like last season when she asked the Tarlys to bend the knee and they refused, she burned them but nobody else.I think you need to rewatch the series because her actions come across a bit different in hindsight.
She's seen that people despise her but Dany has always believed in herself and known people will love her when she gets the chance to prove her worth. She's come to save them from tyrants, from people like cersei who blew up the sept and killed thousands of innocents. She repeatedly refrained from attacking KL with dragons because she said herself "I'm not here to be Queen of the ashes". She was mad and wanted revenge after what cersei and euron did last two episodes and rightly so, but she sank euron's fleet and cersei's army surrendered, she'd won and her revenge was there. All she had to do was wait for Jon to take the red keep and then she could get revenge on Cersei in any way she wanted.
That's just plain wrong, "she doesn't want them to avoid consequences that easily" of course, so she should go and find Cersei and make sure she brutally kills her and gives her what she deserves. Cersei doesn't give a single shame about anyone in KL, so Dany going on a rampage and killing them all isn't consequences for anyone, the people who have wronged her are in fact made to look good rather than bad, she becomes the tyrant Cersei was lying about. Its the complete opposite of revenge, its nonsensical. Dany has shown many times she knows the citizens of KL are poor and innocent people, she doesn't equate them to slave masters at all. In the end Cersei just gets unsatisfyingly crushed by a ceiling which is hardly revenge at all.
In the past Dany has lost many people she loved and gone through a lot of shame (Khal Drogo and the khallesar, her unborn child, her friend betraying her in Qarth, her dragons being stolen, Jorah betraying her and having to exile him, Ser Barristan dying, her betrothed in Mereen, her dragon and most of her allies last season etc.), but through it all she stayed strong and believed in herself, this turn in the space of two episodes is complete rubbish, not something Dany would ever do. If you're going to turn her into a genocidal psycho it needs way more build up.
What do you mean by "that's classic game of thrones"? Did you not understand what I was saying? I said character archs have been butchered and characters are useless now, they're dumb and repeating the same cliche lines, making shame jokes. This is nothing to do with plot armour, and its the complete opposite of "classic game of thrones" which was a character driven story where everything made sense and every character was written intelligently.
I'm glad you brought up plot armour though, because you're right people in GOT aren't supposed to have it yet it was all over the place this episode once again. Those ballistas brought down Rhaegal with 3 perfect shots last episode but not a single hit landed on Drogon since then? Arya got crushed by how many buildings, got caught right next to dragonfire how many times and still survived? Everyone that died was exactly expected to, plot armour is rampant in GOT now. At least this episode was nowhere near as bad as episode 3 for plot armour.

In the end Cersei just gets unsatisfyingly crushed by a ceiling which is hardly revenge at all.Have you never played a war game and not accepted a piece offer? Revenge applies to everyone in Kings Landing, not just Cersei.
I think you need to rewatch the series because her actions come across a bit different in hindsight.I rewatched the series 2 times in the last year and most recently within the last few months. I think I'm good.
The show directly stated multiple times that she did these horrible actions to people that did not deserve it. She kills and punishes random masters that are guilty by association only. The Tarlys were not at fault since they had surrendered. She burnt them for not bending the knee, for not aligning with her views of how the world should be. In Essos this is mostly about slavery so it feels justified but in Westeros this is just about her right to sit on the throne.
"Dany has always believed in herself and known people will love her when she gets the chance to prove her worth." No? She has always felt entitled to the throne and lashed out at people that didn't agree. I specifically gave an example of her losing her people's love after she had already proven her worth.
Have you never played a war game and not accepted a piece offer? Revenge applies to everyone in Kings Landing, not just Cersei.
I fully understand why people who don't believe the mad queen story works would hate this episode (and I do find it kinda funny that we basically swapped roles compared to our episode 2 discussion) but can you see that it's a great episode if you do accept that as valid? I meant classic GoT in the sense of things not going the way viewers expect, but you can also describe it as classic GoT from the negative perspective too haha.

Clearly words won't stop this fight.:o
*Hands swords*
Hop to it gents.
I'd have to agree with Legend on this one, but not getting into it though. :PThe sequence was visually awesome but I couldn't help but laugh. Sure she learned and was dodging but its just so funny those ballista were 3/3 perfect hits on their first 3 shots from off-screen and then were 0% accurate with their next hundreds of shots.
I will say i think it's stupid she didn't just go and destroy the red keep and keep the rest of the city intact. She already had the fear of the people from the dragon. I feel like just destroying the red keep could have given her some sort of win with the people, possibly. But she still would have killed some innocents.
Loved the sequence of her and drogon destroying the scorpions. She clearly knew from the previous episode that she would need to be evasive when flying around which is why she kept flying up and down to make them have to keep moving the scorpions to get clear shots.
BTW, GRRM just admitted he hasn't even started writing the final book lmao. He ain't gonna finish before he dies, I'm sad to say.Well it's probably better than the alternative, having both books finished and just being locked away. It was weird how many people jumped on that being true.
Well it's probably better than the alternative, having both books finished and just being locked away. It was weird how many people jumped on that being true.In retrospect that sounds like an incredibly stupid thing to do for everyone
BTW, GRRM just admitted he hasn't even started writing the final book lmao. He ain't gonna finish before he dies, I'm sad to say.I hope he finishes them. Or at least has shame loads of notes on the endings so that another author can finish them. A part of me hoped the rumor was true, because it means that the books were finished at least. And I can eventually read the series
'Game Of Thrones' Showrunners Disappointed With How Quality Of Fans Has Dropped Off Over Past Couple Seasons (https://entertainment.theonion.com/game-of-thrones-showrunners-disappointed-with-how-qua-1834843021?utm_content=Main&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=SF&utm_source=Facebook);D
Chernobyl is an astonishing showYeah I feel like I gotta watch it.
9.6 on IMDB :o
I really liked the very end but most of the episode was still a mess and it's a shame game of thrones final season was such a dud. Eh well.One thing i like is that they avoided becoming full on fanfiction for the ending. It feels like a lot of the last 2 seasons was very fanfictiony, but i feel they avoided it in the finale.

Theres going to be a lot of really disappointed book readers when GRRM's ending is pretty close to what happens in the show. With characters switched here and there for some storylines.
Yup. Have yet to watch the episode but based on this and last season I think the books will be far superior. They were already better when the show was based on them but now the gap is huge. I sincerely hope GRRM can finish them and effectively give fans a true remake of the show ;)Yeah I really hope he does get around to them so I can see how this story was really supposed to go, the butchered version by D&D is just so sad now.
You and I have rather different definitions of fan fiction but okay. I thought this was fan fiction in its purest form. Evil people gone, good guys are all happy and where they should be, which isn't very game of thrones imo. Don't get me wrong, I love the ending for these characters because its fan fiction and I'm a fan, but it does feel really unsatisfying.Yeah clearly cause as a fan, this isn't really where i was expecting them to take it. If this was pure fanfiction i don't think there would be this big of a negative reaction to how the finale ended, but maybe i'm wrong. So many people seemed to have had their minds made up of how they wanted it to go. Everything up until the finale the last couple seasons was pure fanfiction, imo. Execution was by far the worst thing for this season, but that's mostly D&D wanting to basically jump ship.
Not at all. The problem with the show is how we got here, not the ending itself. Book readers know this is the ending they'll get, but they also know it'll make sense and be earned (if it ever happens). For example, Dany turning evil/mad will be done way, way, way better in the books and in fact the seeds are already being planted. Also final fight will most likely not be against Cersei, Bran will have more to do with the fight against The Others and shame like that.

The backlash is mostly from the hardcore fans, who never cared exactly how it ended, as long as it was great and well written. Its these people who are upset.
But, we'll just agree to disagree
I pray for star wars now that d&d were hired for a trilogyYeah not sure how it will go. I think they'll be fine though, Star Wars movies have always been about spectacle and that's their strong point. No decade long build up for them to deliver on, should be fine.

I pray for star wars now that d&d were hired for a trilogyThis is the best thing out of this GoT season. The writers are clearly shame. And only seemed good because the source material was amazing. Now hopefully the star wars movies they make are shame too
Sources say WarnerMedia paid $85 million per year for five years ($425 million total) to land Friends for its own service, outbidding Netflix for the ensemble comedy starring Jennifer Aniston.'Friends' Officially Leaving Netflix for WarnerMedia's Streaming Service | Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/friends-officially-leaving-netflix-warnermedias-streaming-service-1223151)
This is getting ridiculous. Companies are forgetting the point of such services. It's not just to be able to watch without inserting a disc. It's also to be able to watch everything in one place for one priceCompanies want to make the money.
I thought it was a great teaser, made me much more interested in the show.
Kinda iffy looking. We will see.
looks promising to me

Trailer is giving me a lot of Shannara vibes.True that it did give off a low budget feel in that trailer, its the only thing that worries me.
Also keeps repeating shots from the same scenes, making it feel a bit lower budget than it wants to admit.

Watching now.
Love Lindsay, this is another excellent video which helps explain many of the reasons why fans were upset by GoT S8. If people don't understand why its hated think I'll point them to this vid. Been waiting for it for ages.
Watching now.It's great!
I'm about to try out the Boys on Amazon.
It's great!Yeah really liked the first two episodes. Looking forward to more.
Yeah really liked the first two episodes. Looking forward to more.There's a fantasy Orlando Bloom show coming out. Looks good.
I think I'm going to get into Amazon shows. Watched Jack Reacher when that came out but that has been it till now.
There's a fantasy Orlando Bloom show coming out. Looks good.Yeah that was the one that got me initially thinking about Amazon shows actually.
I feel like I like Rick and Morty more and more every few months.Yep yep. I rewatched it all a month ago and I love it even more. Its definiely in my top 3 favourite TV shows.
Was thinking of one of the scenes and now I really want to watch it over again.
I think it's one of those instances where music makes it resonate with me that much more.
Yep yep. I rewatched it all a month ago and I love it even more. Its definiely in my top 3 favourite TV shows.Yeah!
Still two months away. :(Were you expecting more?
A big disappointed since this season only has 10 episodes apparently.
Were you expecting more?Somewhat.
Somewhat.Hmm I suppose. I guess if 14 episodes meant there would be a few duds then I'm okay with there only being 10.
They've been talking about wanting longer seasons.
Season 3 was supposed to be 14 episodes.
Thought the contract would give them that opportunity.
Watchmen has one of the biggest audience vs critics discrepancies I've seen, on RTHaven't seen it, but looking at the reviews on RT, a lot of "normal" people don't feel like it is actually Watchmen.
Anyone seen it? Why would it get slammed like that by normal people?
Mandalorian looks great! In other Star Wars related news, D&D pulled out of their trilogy to give more time for their $200M Netflx deal, and thank god for that. They had a behind the scenes panel at the Austin Film Festival talking about their experience of writing GoT, and most of their comments leaked. Here's some gems:Really shows why it went off the rails when the book material was done.
-they didn't know what they were doing in many cases, said GOT was an "expensive film school" for themselves
- didn't know how to work with costume designers, didn't have a writers room
- asked about writing, they said they wanted to keep most of it for themselves despite their inexperience, admitting this was wrong and saying "they didn't know better"
- responded to "you don't have black writers" with "we have a single woman Asian writer we promoted who wrote three eps"
- admitted that the pilot was awful and HBO gave them a pass for it, they didn't understand the characters early on
- asked about if they tried to bring in all the elements of the books they said "No. We didn't. The scope was too big. It was about the scenes we were trying to depict and the show was about power"
- Dan wanted to remove as many fantasy elements as possible because "we didn't just want to appeal to that type of fan." They wanted to expand the fan base to people beyond the fantasy fan base to "mothers, NFL players"
- said they didn't listen to feedback along the way, Dan doesn't see the value of considering other people's reactions.
Great, just great. Can you imagine if experienced TV makers had been chosen to adapt GRRM's material, or if these two hacks had stepped down once they'd got past the books and they were in complete uncharted territory. So sad.
Anyone subscribing to Disney plus? Seems pretty insane for the price!*Raises hand*

Episode 5 feels like a classic Rick and Morty adventure. 8)I've been loving this season. Had kinda felt like I was becoming disinterested during the break.
No complaints on that one. Rest of the season I have little complaints about each episode. I did like 1 and 3 especially, but even they felt like some of the weakest episodes in the series.
Episode 5 feels like a classic Rick and Morty adventure. 8)Episode 1 feels up there with the rest of the show, 2 felt like a weak Rick and Morty episode but was still fun. Episode 3 was crazy and I had a lot of fun with it but itdidn't feel very Rick and Morty, while 4 was just... so friggin weird. That one really did feel like another TV show trying to be rick and morty. Looking forward to watching 5 when I can.
No complaints on that one. Rest of the season I have little complaints about each episode. I did like 1 and 3 especially, but even they felt like some of the weakest episodes in the series.
Personally 5>1>3>2>42/5 episodes being better than average Rick and Morty and one about average is a good run, although also getting the new worst episode is kinda eh. Plus I don't think any have been truly excellent yet. So basically a good set of 5 episodes but they can do better and hopefully the next 5 are. My ratings, if 0 is worst Rick and Morty and 10 in best:
I think if episode 1 had better pacing I'd think more fondly of it. It was great. But pacing is pretty important.
I've heard complaints that Cavill is too dull (as Geralt), but that's pretty much how Geralt is in witcher 3 at least. I'm impressed by the sword fighting, which is just amazing compared to most shows.Sword fighting is phenomenal, that part near the end of episode 1 blew me away. Watched 5 episodes now and I'm liking it a lot but the writing is a bit weird and confusing at times. This definitely won't be the next game of thrones as some pople are suggesting, its going to put too many people off.
In the first 3 episodes there have already been 2 Icelandic actors playing some semi major characters. Didn't know beforehand.No one is back! Timelines are a bit confusing but I'm really digging it. Will be cool to see if Ciri's father is the same as in the games
Both of them killed quite early tho lol
Wow, episode 5 of the witcher was very well done. Can't see how some say they only like it because of the games. It's a unique show, always surprising, with some mysterious but fun charactersI was really confused by the law of surprise stuff. I can only imagine how confused non players/readers would be in other episodes as well.
Finished the witcher. I liked it a fair amount.Yeah there's a lot of stuff the show doesn't explain well at all. I get the need to have a prologue but jumping around so much like that and not giving enough details was kinda weird. Hopefully from season 2 on it'll be a bit more normal.

Shieeet….I didn't realize the expanse season 4 had 100% on rotten tomatoes. Now i'm even more excited to get to that season. Halfway through season 3 and its so fudgy good.Season 3 was a bit better though imo but nothing really wrong with season 4. You'll see
Finally getting round to Mr Robot season 4 and holy smokes what a season this is so far. Super excited to watch the rest of it after all the buzz and insane imdb scores.Yeah I need to watch too!

This definitely won't be the next game of thrones as some pople are suggesting, its going to put too many people off.As someone who read the first 2 books which most of this story is based on. I can understand where they were confused, specially with the timelines that were rather confusing and unexplained (they even didnt really explain properly how old yen and geralt are and how they how incredibly long lifespans)
Seriously as i've been watching The Expanse I really wish i was born later cause if space flight becomes a common thing, i want to be a part of it. But definitely not happening in my lifetime unfortunately. Unless we have some super magical breakthroughs within a decade it ain't happening.Either we need to discover aliens and start massively investing in space tech, or we need to massively invest in life extending medicine.
Makes me super sad. :'(
Oh man, what an ending to Mr Robot. Amazing final season, what a show. Definitely gonna watch whatever Sam Esmail puts out from now on, he's a genius.Wonder how much they'd have to pay to bring him back for an Until Dawn sequel haha.

Holy fudgy shame this show!Yeah the acting was incredible but so were many other of the show's components. Super awesome what they managed to pull off, I wish more people watched it.
Just a flawless final season imo and the acting in some major scenes was incredible.
Wonder which season finale you are talking about.Spoiler for Hidden:
Rewatched it a few days ago.Spoiler for Hidden:
Rewatched it a few days ago.Episodes 6-8 are a cut above the first 5 of the season. 6 and 8 are probably two of my favourite episodes of the show. Its still the worst season so far, but only by a tiny bit, the show is super consistent. If the last two episodes nail it it could be the best season yet.
I actually loved it.Spoiler for Rick and Morty feelings, no episode spoilers:

[question marks are the ones I'm not sure about. Either because I haven't seen them, or because I liked them, but maybe not enough to buy them]
Buy them how? Blu-ray box set?Probably DVD.
Probably DVD.Don't think I'll be buying anything physical anymore when it comes to TV or movies, I don't see the point. If they're not on a streaming platform I have then I can just find them online anyway.
Unless I really like them.
At some point I want to drop my Netflix and Hulu probably and have my own personal server. Shows would never leave. And it would have all the shows I want in one place.
Convenience of streaming with the custom library of buying yourself. (And the expense honestly but eh, a lot of those shows aren't on what I have anyways).

You gotta support the owners!Don't think I gotta "support" any company tbh. :P
I might not necessarily buy physical. But I prefer the flexibility. May not matter if everything I have can connect to a server.
Probably DVD.you've listed about 50 shows. to get the full series of each of those will probably cost you $5,000 (~$100 a show) or as i prefer to think about,.. 27.7 years of netflix.

yeah, i liked discs and i like shows that don't appear on netflix but i just can't get over how amazing of a value netflix is.
Dark is the greatest TV of all time. That's it.+10
If you haven't seen it, you should.
Watching Korra.It's worse than avatar but still very good, gets a lot better as it goes along
I'm not sure if I'm just being more critical of it compared to avatar or if it's just a bit worse.
Dialogue feels less natural.
Like in the second episode, Korra is in a fight and she says a line blaming someone and then they continue the fight later and she nearly repeats the same line.
Not that avatar is perfect in this regard, but I think Korra is worse.
Unnatural dialogue is one of my biggest enjoyment killers.
Other than a few bits like that, the show is good.
I have also been watching the Umbrella Academy.not sure how far you are in but umbrella academy is amazing. with so much content on netflix i rarely rewatch something. i rewatched umbrella academy. they did such a good job with the soundtrack especially and season 2 is at least as good if not better than season 1.
It's interesting. It's about a team of people with powers but it's so different from anything else I've seen.
It feels way more like a drama than a super hero show. I mostly like it.
But it also kind of irritates me. It feels like the plot doesn't move very often. So you watch an episode hoping for the story to advance, only to end up watching the episode after.
Was watching Community. Really good show. At least there, there isn't the expectation of a moving plot.
I have also been watching the Umbrella Academy.Community is great. Umbrella is good, could be better. The Boys is where it's at for superheroes

Was watching Community. Really good show. At least there, there isn't the expectation of a moving plot.
Dark is the greatest TV of all time. That's it.YAAAAAAAS I just watched Dark like a month ago and i still find myself thinking about it. Easily one of if not the best shows. The soundtrack is frickin amazing too.
If you haven't seen it, you should.

Watching The Rain now. Its pretty good too.
Community is great. Umbrella is good, could be better. The Boys is where it's at for superheroesThe boys is pretty good. I'm still a few episodes behind for the second season.
Did something crazy. Bought something off eBay.So much regret. Most of the disks are good, but 6 of them are ruined.
Been wanting to get the Futurama complete collection. But then I was trying to figure out how to get the blurays. Then I found it was the same cost to buy the complete collection plus the blurays as it would be to buy the blu rays plus the individual seasons that don't have blu ray.
And then I found someone who was selling what I needed on ebay to complete the collection.
So much regret. Most of the disks are good, but 6 of them are ruined.Buying used is such a gamble, but the product should at least work. Did he not test them first?
Lots of yellow discoloration patterns on the disk.

The Pokemon TV show is very dumb...the intended audience is 6-12 year olds. there are a whole slew of shows just like it my son likes: sonic, stretch armstrong, some various marvel shows targeting kids. it's easy to follow for a kid that has limited ability to grasp complexities (everything is good or evil) and has limited patience to watch non-action scenes.Spoiler for new show:Spoiler for Hidden:
Been years since I watched pokemon. Do they still have any of the og characters?Yeah ash is still there.

Yeah ash is still there.gonna have to say no. kids shows suck. if you think I'm wrong start listing. I would have sworn the shows I loved as a kid were better but then i started watching them again as an adult to share with my kid. they're terrible too.

Avatar: TLAthose are also targeting an older audience, teens. I don't know gumball I guess but gravity falls is not really young kid appropriate.
Gravity Falls
Gumball
Old spongebob wasnt the worst.
My son watches Octonauts and that isn't as obnoxiously dumb.
those are also targeting an older audience, teens. I don't know gumball I guess but gravity falls is not really young kid appropriate.I don't think target audience matters. Spongebob at one point was pretty successful with groups from 3 to 25. Kids thought it was an appropriate show.
octonauts is pretty bad too but that is targeting 3-6. my almost seven year old has outgrown it at least.Mostly disagree. It's nowhere near as bad as something like Peppa pig.
I don't think target audience matters. Spongebob at one point was pretty successful with groups from 3 to 25. Kids thought it was an appropriate show.top: I think "respecting adults" is great but if a show sets out to be a kids show I just don't think it's a priority. kid shows are generally speaking low budget.
I don't think shows should get a pass just because they are targeted for kids.
Like I've said before kids shows should respect the adult too. Most don't and that shouldn't be acceptable. Mostly disagree. It's nowhere near as bad as something like Peppa pig.
Buying the first couple of seasons of The Simpsons and Rick and Morty for my Plex server.Simpsons is all on Disney Plus!
I've watched random episodes of The Simpsons, but I've never really watched it sequentially. Everyone seems to talk about the first either 9 or 13 seasons as being the best of any TV show, and I missed out on that.
Simpsons is all on Disney Plus!I prefer ownership.
Gravity Falls is an absurdly good show.Somehow didn't click for me when I tried a few episodes

Rick and Morty Season 5 starts Sunday.Wtf had no idea it was coming so soon
(I also feel like I'm going crazy because I swear I posted about it)
Rick and Morty Season 5 starts Sunday.i remember reading a post about this a while back. not sure if it was you but someone posted about rick and morty.
(I also feel like I'm going crazy because I swear I posted about it)
Rick and Morty Season 5 starts Sunday.I can't watch it. Comcast dropped Cartoon Network/Adult Swim :P
(I also feel like I'm going crazy because I swear I posted about it)
I can't watch it. Comcast dropped Cartoon Network/Adult Swim :PAdult Swim put it on YouTube.
Adult Swim put it on YouTube.Yup youtube pushed it for me so I watched it a few days ago. Will all the episodes be on youtube?
Will all the episodes be on youtube?It'll be a surprise.
Oof that Rick and Morty episode.So, bad?
Without spoilers, that was the worst premise of any episode.
So, bad?The episode was okay.
The episode was okay.Ugh that's pretty weird
The premise is so raunchy, even the creators seemed a bit down about it.
Spoilers for those who don't care:Spoiler for plot:
The actual episode had some good commentary, and I laughed more than most episodes probably. So I wouldn't say it was a bad episode. There were a few things that were off about the episode.
It just had a grotesque concept.
There's a trope (All of the other reindeer/butt monkey, either could apply) I'm not really a fan of in general.In my headcanon it's a joke about Mila Kunis being the most famous person on the show. Otherwise it's not fun to see.
Meg from family guy for instance.
I dont mind the trope per se, but I've seen instances where it gets taken way too far.
It sucks when a character is basically reduced to being a joke magnet. Like when a character isn't even a 1 dimensional character, the only reason they seem to exist is to be made fun of.
I'm really not a fan of it.
I feel like I watch Rick and Morty for different reasons compared to most people.kind of sounds like community's pivot from show about community college to show about paintball fights.
I don't tend to find the show funny. I usually find it entertaining, but rarely do I laugh.
I love the show because it has a lot going for it.
The earlier seasons I think especially had more of a storyline, and I think they especially had more of these moments that hit you.Spoiler for Hidden:
Rick and Morty is still entertaining. But I have been feeling like it's been getting away from having these things.
kind of sounds like community's pivot from show about community college to show about paintball fights.You mean a show with excellent writing and paradoys to a show about silly jokes and a dean wearing costumes.
Wifey has been watching a show called Manifest.I kinda wanna watch it.
Really interesting premise, but that's about it....
There are a lot of low budget effects.
There is so much bad acting and bad writing. Especially for a big show like this. It feels like a lot of scenes, the writer has an idea of where they want to go, but has no clue how to get there. Then you get awkward bad scenes in the middle of decent ones.
On the whole, I feel like this show lived on it's premise.

i need to watch it. I hope this can be the beginning of getting more space flights and your average person being able to do it without it costing millions per person. Straight up bucket list to go to space. Like if this is the one thing i never get to do i hope reincarnation is real and i come back and get to go to space ;DI'm lowkey nervous. The Challenger disaster set back non-professional space flight by 35 years. Everything feels so hopeful and optimistic right now but people felt the same way back then too. Even the kid from A Christmas Story was expected to go up soon.
I haven't watched survivor in almost 20 years. Thinking about it brings back memories of the amazing race which I also watched back then.I like the twists better on the Australian one plus it's very much like old school survivor mixed with the newer style of the way people do gameplay which was when the US one was at its peak to me. People are just whiny on the American one anymore. I just hope the Australian one doesnt go the way of the US one.
Also made me think of Lost lol. I remember getting Panda Express on the way home from speech therapy and watching the pilot.
What makes the australian one better?
When I first saw them on set in full costume, I was like: "Hooooooly shit! It's Joel & Ellie! ????!"

The MCU is going to the crapper because of tv shows. Id watch a stupid movie like ant man when I'm super bored just to get the idea of whats happening in the MCU. But I wont watch hours and hours of a shaming TV show.Well the shows are usually pretty short. Almost like 1-2 movies
Also the new heros/movies seem so uninteresting.

I'm cancelling my disney+ subscription. It's just so easy to resubscribe once the content is out, instead of having stuff to watch while you wait.Loki?
Mando was good and Wandavision was good, but neither pumped me up for future disney+ originals.
Loki?Forgot about that one but ironically I'm looking forward to its second season the most lol
Disney+ just doesn't have content.They have some good shows. It's a lot better since Starz was added. I feel like netflix is kind of slow these days and/or has subpar content as well
Netflix releases 3 movies and 5-10 seasons of shows a week. Disney releases 1 episode expect on those weeks when they have nothing.
and God forbid you have any interests outside marvel and star wars.
I only have it for the kids. at Disney's current rate of release I could un-sub for 3 years and catch up after a month of resubing.
ok i'm real upset about the series finale of The Expanse. There are still potential plotlines they introduced in this season that led to no conclusions. UUUUUGGGGGHHHHWait it's out already?
Now i gotta get through the novels so i can find out at least what's supposed to happen next.
Also huh, the description of the episode says "season finale".
Wait it's out already?yuuup. Started mid december. Had 6 episodes. It was really good despite it being 6 episodes.
where does the story fit into the books? are they making stuff up entirely or does it come out of the similarian?It's set before Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings.
Amazon revealed that the series would be set in the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before the story of The Lord of the Rings. Shippey explained that the series was not allowed to contradict anything that Tolkien had written about the Second Age and would have to follow the broad strokes of his narrative, with the Tolkien Estate prepared to veto any such changes, but Amazon was free to add characters or details to fill in the gaps between Tolkien's works. The series is also only allowed to adapt and reference content from the Lord of the Rings books and their extensive appendices rather than any of Tolkien's other books that explore the Second Age such as The Silmarillion.
doomed to fail most likely.Well, it will be an expensive failure.
Well, it will be an expensive failure.well yes then, a very expensive failure.
Amazon spent a quarter of a billion just for the rights.
And they're spending close to another $500-$750 million for 5 seasons.
yuuup. Started mid december. Had 6 episodes. It was really good despite it being 6 episodes.I need to get prime again then lulz
by far my favorite Sci-fi series ever. Seriously feels weird knowing there isn't anymore in the works as of now.
I need to get prime again then lulzYup and they're increasing the price in a few days. Might grab it before then
Did we talk about Boba Fett yet? It's turning into more of a Mandalorian show now, and didn't feel much like Boba Fett before that. Still enjoy itI enjoyed mando but haven't bothered with boba. The actor for him didn't feel as fun as Pedro Pascal.

has any show been successfully revived?Well this is the show's 2nd revival.
Well this is the show's 2nd revival.oh yeah, now I remember.
First one was pretty good I'd say.
oh yeah, now I remember.It definitely has the worst lows of the entire series, but it had some great highs too. The series finale hits hard.
....and not really. it wasn't as bad as most but it wasn't good. it was all pretty forgettable.
It definitely has the worst lows of the entire series, but it had some great highs too. The series finale hits hard.well at least it wasn't arrested development.
speaking of revivals,.. anyone watch Dexter? I remember some promos a while back. I would really like for it to be good..watched episode 1. Was good, but just got busy and haven't watched the rest. From what i've heard it definitely makes up for the shaming season 8 ending.
Hulu is reviving Futurama:I love... love.. futurama. But im not sure i want this

Been watching Owl House.Season 2 is really good.
I wouldn't say it's like Gravity Falls at all though. Overall not as good, but season 1 ended very strong. Feels like Season 2 will be even better.
I finished Obi Wan. It's really really bad imo, or maybe just made exclusively for 10 year olds. Worse than any of the recent movies.I have a hard time watching anything Star Wars anymore. Mandalorian has been great but even then I just can't get into the Star Wars universe much. Fallen Order game is about the most hyped I can get cause it's really good.
Had one cool thing at least.
If you don't mind a major spoiler but want to laugh at the show:Spoiler for Hidden:
Been watching Owl House.I watched season 1. I liked it a lot. I haven't gotten through season 2 yet though. Or did I? I think I stopped watching after episode 10 of season 2, or episode 7, whichever the episode was where Luz got stuck in those mirrors and there wasn't new episodes after that for a while.
I wouldn't say it's like Gravity Falls at all though. Overall not as good, but season 1 ended very strong. Feels like Season 2 will be even better.
star trek was always better than star wars.Where's it going once it leaves Netflix? Paramount+?
on a bliz to finish deep space nine before Netflix loses it on July 1st. 8 more episodes to go!!
Finished The Owl House Season 1+2.Eeep.
It's a really great show, but now it's a bit sad.
This show deserves a lot better than what Disney is giving it. Apparently a lot of stuff was brought up earlier than planned due to Disney, and Season 3 has been cut very short.

September 4th for Season 6.
Not sure if I'm really looking forward to this.
The Sandman on Netflix is soooo good. Pleasantly surprised. The actor playing Dream is really great.No clue what this is about, but I assume you don't mean Dream the minecraft cheater?
No clue what this is about, but I assume you don't mean Dream the minecraft cheater?Heh, no it's a show based on The Sandman comic created by Neil Gaiman
i had put it on my list. but honestly, my list is ridiculously big filled with soo much crud i'll never get to.Good show.
just finished the good place last night. in progress on the boys. recently started better call saul and ted lasso. need to get to the latest seasons of: umbrella academy, russian doll, lost in space, locke and key, big mouth. probably a few more i can't think of right now.
i really got behind on my show backlog this summer. frankly i fell behind on my games backlog too.
Good show.indeed.
I feel like there are a bunch of trends with comedy series when they decline:I kinda miss the jokes in Orville. It's really cool that it has gotten more serious and they sure pull it off, but I think season 2 had the best ratio.
1.) Dumb characters become dumber and dumber
2.) Targeted characters become more and more targeted.
3.) They also seem to do less of other stuff. Like some comedy shows have genuine romantic or sweet episodes, but they seem to do that less and less.
I feel like it makes sense, but it would be interesting if a comedy show leaned into like romance or something more as time went on, especially if the jokes are getting worse.
House of the Dragon was such a good start to a new GOT series. Getting those 2 showrunners from GOT out and far away from anything GOT will hopefully make this series vastly superior. And hopefully the Jon Snow sequel as well.my thought on those final seasons is that a key aspect of the books is that each individual in the books has their specific personality/flaws and their actions reflect it. there are plenty examples of bad choices being made that are completely consistent with their personality starting off with ed stark.
Though im one that didn't think the final season or 2 were bad they were just terribly rushed and that moment with Danaerys was not warranted at all. They were still epic seasons just far below the first 6 seasons
Good place is great, the boys is sometimes great, and ted lasso is great.Bruh the boys is epic. Season 3 was banging
I've started season 3 of the orville. Huge budget increase and it's not a comedy anymore. From Family Guy to this lol.
Watching Season 4 of stranger things.Even the good athletic guy?
For the most part good, but I get a lot of indescribable rage when the athletic guys are on screen.
So Rings of Power premiering today. Anyone seen the first episode?Not yet. Will maybe watch it tonight.
Even the good athletic guy?I mostly mean the main one:
I really wish they would have casted someone else instead of Ellen page in umbrella academy. You know, someone who can actually act.I'd agree in the first 2 seasons but something about him in the new season is much better. IMO at least
I think the lord of the rings show is ok but way too slow. Why do so many TV shows tease development over multiple episodes instead of just having development? Everything in the second episode could be condensed to 5 minutes.Yep.
I'd agree in the first 2 seasons but something about him in the new season is much better. IMO at leastFor the entire show page has sucked. Completely flat acting. No reactions, no emotions, intensity. And no charisma what so ever. A horrible actor in an otherwise brilliant cast.
Thank you for using the spoiler tags for rings of power. I really wanna see it and don't want it spoileddumbledore dies in episode 6.
Been watching The Boys.I fully understand that, especially as things progress.
I kind of got spoiled on some aspects from crawling on YouTube, and thought the show seemed interesting. Glad to say though that it wasn't quite the show I was expecting.
Was worried the main focus of the show was Homelander.
But I kind of don't think I should be watching it. It's putting me in a strange mental state.Spoiler for Hidden:
But I am engrossed in a way that I haven't been in a show in quite a while.
Someone on Era has had an avatar of Homelander for a while.I love homelander
But now that I've seen the show, it feels kind of concerning...
I love homelanderThat's really the issue. He terrifies me.
Doesn't mean I agree with his views or agree with his actions. He is just an awesome villian
That's really the issue. He terrifies me.Thats whats awesome with him. He is so strong, but so fragile mentally. Theoretically one sentence can be the difference between him being subdued and calming down, to him ranging and brining on the armageddon right then and there.

Rolling Stone: Top 100 TV shows of all time (https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/best-tv-shows-of-all-time-1234598313/)Come on man, the simpsons above breaking bad??
Come on man, the simpsons above breaking bad??Simpsons is a weird one. It's been bad most of its life, but the highs? Season 2-6 is, in my opinion, the greatest comedy and satirical show ever and has impacted pop culture in a way that few shows ever has. The rest? Not so much.
The only ones I've not seen of those are The Wire that number 10 (never heard of it)
Also I'd say atlanta being so high is probably due to recency bias. It's great but I wouldn't call it one of the best shows I've seen
I feel like I usually see Seasons 2-9, sometimes 2-10 as being the high for Simpsons.I personally feel season 10 was indeed the last best season. But you can actually see when Simpsons was falling off with the Halloween episodes. They were all strong until Treehouse of Horrors 6. While 6 wasn't bad, you can see they were running into issues with writing, the bit with Groundskeeper Willy as Freddy Kreuger was probably the last best skit they did, the rest of the episode was bland. So that was season 7.
I feel like a lot of people view that as being pretty much the best television has to offer.
I feel like that list is very biased against animation though.
There's only 4 on that entire list. And there a few I would put ahead of Rick and Morty.
can't say i really care of that list. seems biased to a specific kind of viewer (artsy) and not truely universal with a crud load of recency bias. some shows i was upset not to see anywhere:I like the crown though. It's very well made with quality acting. Elisabeth's death no doubt bumps it up a bit though
- gilmore girls
- dr who
there are probably others worthy of the top 100. its more that there were quite a few shows that made my eyes roll seeing them on the list. like the crown?!? are you fudgy kidding me. if queen Elizabeth had not just died this show wouldn't have been anywhere near a top 100 list.
Rings of Power:I've been really really happy with rings of power as of late. Some things are meh but it's smarter than I expected. That episode is my favorite so far too.Spoiler for Hidden:
Rings of Power finale spoilers:I enjoyed it. Better than the hobbit trilogy by a large amount imo.Spoiler for Hidden:
I enjoyed it. Better than the hobbit trilogy by a large amount imo.I feel like that is an unusual opinion.

It was amazing.

Why the heck would people dislike rings of power so much?

I love the song but their cover doesn't fit imo. Strays a bit too far from their template for the rest of the trailer:
Watching 1899. First episode blunder. Talking about how we've explored everywhere and reached the tallest peaks. Ocean is the only unknown.How could they have known it wasn't discovered until it was discovered? ;)

Also sounds like TLOU show is fantastic. I'm betting this will be one of their largest series premieres ever.Yep, definitely looking forward to it.
Netflix is becoming ridiculous at this point. Their shows have to be uber mega hits now or they just get cancelled. Stop throwing quantity and make more quality shows.exactly.
There's a new show called Lockwood and Co. coming in a couple weeks based on a book series i read and i'm almost betting it will be a one season show. Makes me not want to watch them unless they get more seasons, but then if you and others think that then no one watches and then it won't get more.
House of the dragon won best drama TV show golden globe. Over better call Saul, severence, ozark. WeirdNice!
Starting to add Breaking Bad to my collection...Breaking bad is incredible. Game of thrones very good for the first 5 seasons or so but the final season is so bad it ruins the show, sadly.
Game of Thrones is another one I'd like to get into at some point.
Breaking bad is incredible. Game of thrones very good for the first 5 seasons or so but the final season is so bad it ruins the show, sadly.I'm getting breaking bad on blu-ray.
Never finished breaking bad. Loved the first few seasons.how? just how? how could you possibly make it past that 1 episode in season one and want to keep watching but then stop?!? this show only has 1 exit and if you drive past it there is no stopping...
There have been 2 episodes that I've felt like I needed to take a break after.such an amazing show.Spoiler for Hidden:
how? just how? how could you possibly make it past that 1 episode in season one and want to keep watching but then stop?!? this show only has 1 exit and if you drive past it there is no stopping...I think I binged the first four seasons but the 5th wasn't out yet.
I think I binged the first four seasons but the 5th wasn't out yet.well it's been 10 years since it aired. your excuse is flimsy.
I watched the first two episodes of Velma. Twas pretty bad.Oops

There's only been one semi interesting story line. But it's so exhausting to get through to it.
okay seriously guys,.. the "TV" and "Movie" thread have had like 75% of the posts from the last few weeks. did we all give up caring about video games?!?!?I've been in Italy, it's all my fault.
glad to see everyone enjoying this.I need hbo max. Really want to watch dragon house too
i'm avoiding it for now.
1. i kind of like be late to the party on things like this. i'd rather bing than be drip fed
2. still haven't play TLoU DLC or TLoU 2 so i'd like to avoid spoilers.
Do intend to come back to this someday though.
Tlou is a bit slow but pretty good imo. Changes are interesting.Feels like some of that, to me atleast, comes from having actually played the game. And with the expanded areas of the beginning, it took a little longer to get to the more exciting stuff.

Kinda odd how all of Sonys tv shows are all on different streaming providers. You'd think they would have made a deal with just onegenerally speaking Sony is one of the last big content creators that isn't trying to have there own streaming service. they have content all over and that's working for them.
Kinda odd how all of Sonys tv shows are all on different streaming providers. You'd think they would have made a deal with just oneSony probably makes more money being able to bid specific entries. Networks are probably more likely to invest more on the shows they think fit their audience.
as a PlayStation fan I wish all their PlayStation content was on one service but Sony probably can't find one that would do all the content they want to create.My own service perhaps. 8)
Episode 2 of THE LAST OF US tallied 5.7 million viewers Sunday night, up 22% from the series debut.

Yeah the show is eventually going to have to expand beyond the games. Let's hope it can keep up the quality1. not at all applicable to your post but it annoys me that google is soo biased to TV. if i google "the last of us" today the top results are all related to HBO as if the series doesn't even exist in a video game format.
i've never watched the show so i'm pretty indifferent to its loss but i am glad to see justin facing consequences for his actions.He's considered a co-creator, but I think Dan Harmon does most of the writing.
....not sure if you could just higher an impersonator and continue the show without paying a large sum of money to justin. my understanding is he is much more than a voice actor on the show.
Wonder what will happen to squanch games. Those tweets are really gross.

to my knowledge, justin’s only real creative involvement with rick & morty since probably season 3 is that he recorded the voices from his own basement. i’m told he wasn’t welcome in the writers room because of multiple covered-up internal WB investigations re: sexual misconduct. https://t.co/HrlJWloJum

1st amendment and "innocent until proven guilty" is for how government operates.I dont think this has anything to do with freedom of speech. Its about firing a person without grounds for dismissal. If allegations are proven true in a court of law, then fire him, as you have grounds for dismissal. If not, then its innocent until proven guilty. And they shouldn't legally be allowed to fire him
when it's "private entity" vs. "private entity" no such protection exists. think of this as the "free market" of ideas.
in this case adult swim could have looked at the case and said,.. "we think these allegations are BS and we're sticking by you Justin" But then everyday consumers like you and me could just as easily say, "holy shame, Justin is a complete slimeball and if adult swim is going to keep him employed i'm going to stop watching ANY adult swim show in protest."
Adult swim looked at what facts are available and made the choice they thought was right. i can't say for sure if he will be held guilty in a court of law but the evidence is quite damning. adult swim should not be forced to maintain employment of this guy when is jeopardizes their ability to do business.
you don't have to like it. but at least accept this isn't contrary to freedom of speech. this is because because we have freedom of speech.
the only thing that's changed in the last ~20 years is that with the rise of social media is the rise of "lying". it used to be that no one knew anything unless the media reported it and the media operated by a set of rules to validate information before going public with it. these days things can go viral with/without any sort of truth behind the allegations. that's the part of "cancel culture" you should care more about.
The narrative director at Squanch Games (which Roiland founded) said that he heard that he wasn't allowed in the writer's room at Adult Swim.They may have a basis for it. I am not saying he IS innocent. Im saying he is innocent until proven guilty. Which is a process that takes time.to my knowledge, justin’s only real creative involvement with rick & morty since probably season 3 is that he recorded the voices from his own basement. i’m told he wasn’t welcome in the writers room because of multiple covered-up internal WB investigations re: sexual misconduct. https://t.co/HrlJWloJum

So they may very well feel that they have a basis for believing the allegations.
I wonder if there will be enough time between season 1 and 2 that bella ramsey might look old enough to be older ellie considering bella ramsey is 19 like ellie is in Part2Yeah they can always just change her design, but current TV show Ellie is very far from tlou2 ellie.
I dont think this has anything to do with freedom of speech. Its about firing a person without grounds for dismissal. If allegations are proven true in a court of law, then fire him, as you have grounds for dismissal. If not, then its innocent until proven guilty. And they shouldn't legally be allowed to fire himit's absolutely about speech.
They may have a basis for it. I am not saying he IS innocent. Im saying he is innocent until proven guilty. Which is a process that takes time.
Again, look at johny dep, everybody jumped the gun, then it turned out he was the one of domestic violence and abuse. Not the other way around.
There is a process to examine a situation for a reason. And getting rid of that process will result in people who are innocent being labeled and treated as guilty.
I hear so much praise from parents about Bluey.watching bluey with my daughter right now and found a perfect example of how well they capture modern parenthood in just 4 words:

I have no confidence in Netflix.
Soo huge for Sony.
Horizon for Netflix and GOW for Amazon.I think it's a bit of a joint effort.
Hopefully like TLOU, Sony is making them and Netflix/Amazon are just distributors.
I think it's a bit of a joint effort.Horizon and gow still seem to be 2 years away. Hard to hype things up while so little is known.
I feel like it was fairly expected that TLOU would be big. People were raving about the talent that was involved (actors, directors and writers) months before we saw anything about the actual show.
I haven't seen that with these other series.
I kind of expect that Horizon will end up being good, only for Netflix to back out after a season. ::P
GOW could go either way.
...you watch tv shows 5 minutes at a time?Slight exaggeration.
Is that a parent thing?
I'm down to the last 4 episodes of Breaking Bad.put in a break if you need to but don't forget to watch el camino. it's a really good follow-up to what is left unanswered in the show.
It is incredibly entertaining. I can't remember the last time I ever would sit down to watch 5 minutes of a TV show, and accidentally watch 25 minutes.
I don't think I can complain about the quality of anything.
But it's hard to watch sometimes.
It's probably simultaneously some of the best TV I've ever seen, and yet there are several other shows I would watch before re-watching this one.
I feel like most TV shows are set up so that the problem gets introduced and gets solved by the end of the episode. (not a universal rule plenty of shows have occasional cliffhangers).I really hate when the cliffhangers just exist to get you to watch the next episode.
But it almost feels like it's the opposite in a lot of Breaking Bad. It almost feels the norm to end on a problem/cliffhanger.
Unrelated.

I feel like there are other things that bothered me more about those two things.Spoiler for Hidden:
Does anyone have a show that they know way too well?I don't know episode names, but I've seen a lot of south park...
For me, the show I probably know the best is Monk.
I think with a few exceptions, if someone asked me what happened in (title of episode), I could say what happened. Who did it and usually why.
Sometimes someone will post on r/Monk looking for a scene or an episode; and I am usually able to answer it.
I even found all the scenes that made up the intros (I knew what episode most were from, but not necessarily when in the episode they happened). There were only a couple that I had trouble finding.
Does anyone have a show that they know way too well?Yeah I memorised friends basically. Most of seinfeld. At some point I memorised scrubs so much that I could quote the next line in a random episode.

Um what?Lol sorry.
Weird thing, does anyone have a show that they wish they could share with someone?I can't think of a show I love enough to push on someone. Foundation was pretty great but the second half got kinda slow.

oh, and it's in German. there is an English dub but I thought they did a bad job of it. I watched it all with subtitles.Listening to the German is so pleasant to my ears hehe. But I agree it's an incredible show.
um.. intelligent show? it's a bit like our other thread I derailed by bringing up skinner. it's a time travel show about fatalism vs free will.I mean like emotionally heavy.
so I guess I mean it depends on what you mean by heavy. bad stuff happens but that's not exactly the focus of the show. ..but it's not a comedy or anything. it's a dark drama.
and it's like the greatest show ever.
and I'll warn you in advance, I'll only take your challenge if it doesn't cost me money. I have Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon for steaming and a competent library.I can work with that. 8)

And I'll try watching a few episodes of Dark.
There are times when I watch media, and think that our universe feels a little boring. We don't have superheroes or magic.I've watched the boys and I'm very glad we don't have superheroes.
There are other times when I watch media, and instead feel very thankful that our universe is "boring" in those ways.
I've watched the boys and I'm very glad we don't have superheroes.One of the examples I had in mind.
I watched the first 2.5 episodes of Dark.a lot of people compare it to stranger things. i think it's mostly because they are both on netflix and because dark just doesn't have a good comparison.
I can definitely see what people were meaning about the dub. Sometimes dubs do a good job of matching up with the lips, but it was pretty distracting here. Watching with subtitles. Almost makes me want to learn German....
Pretty good show. Kind of getting Stranger Things vibes, which might not be a good comparison, but it's probably the closest I can make. But I feel like it's not as character driven as Stranger Things.
One of the examples I had in mind.
Still haven't watched through season 3.
He hated it and that's okay.3 episodes in. it's fine. i don't hate it or anything but also i feel like i've watch it before due to how much it follows a formula i've watched many times before. i'll keep watching it,.. maybe it gets better as it goes.
/S
3 episodes in. it's fine. i don't hate it or anything but also i feel like i've watch it before due to how much it follows a formula i've watched many times before. i'll keep watching it,.. maybe it gets better as it goes.I don't think it really comes into its own until a bit later in the first season.
in summary it's a kid-centric show that's no better or worse than what i have watched and love to rewatch except for 1 fact: i don't have any nostalgia for it.
my only "real" critique is that i don't much care for cartoons where i can't get over knowing who the voice actor is. things like owen wilson voicing lighting mcqueen i find to be a distraction. the voice of wendie malick was the same for me. very immediately recognizable in a distracting way.I completely get that.
I watched the first 2.5 episodes of Dark.Please continue watching. It only gets better

I generally plan to keep watching both shows.
a lot of people compare it to stranger things. i think it's mostly because they are both on netflix and because dark just doesn't have a good comparison.- Both are kind of sci-fi-y shows.
- Both are kind of sci-fi-y shows.i mean,... i think a lot of it is that last part. part of what i like about dark i suppose,.. i can't find a direct comparison to it so it stands out for me as memorable. i'm an old man at this point so it's hard to watch something and not think it's just like such-n-such...
- even in the sci-fi space, there are plenty of shows that predominantly focus on adults doing crazy things. But Dark and Stranger Things both feature teenage aged kids and adults investigating strange phenomenon.
-Spoiler for Hidden:
Not that they're very similar shows, but it's hard to come up with a better comparison to Dark...
I finished the first four episodes of Mrs. Davis on peacock.I don't got no peacock but sounds interesting.
Holy shame what is going on but I am totally in. It's a very lindelof show. It's weird and goofy but I'm so intrigued.
I started rewatching lost. Won't do the full series but it was really fun seeing the pilot episode again 19 years later.I still haven't seen a show as emotionally driven as Lost. Airbender is a close second.
Omg calculon is back!!! Yessss!!!!!!!!!!
Back on Dark.Keep going!
Had a very hectic like 4 weeks or something, and wasn't able to watch.
Finally almost done with the first season. Got pretty heavy here.
Why do so many shows have horrible writing?I can understand writing being boring.
I can understand writing being boring.I did film school as a kid but I focused on editing and cinematography.
But I don't understand the obnoxiously bad writing. There is plenty of writing I don't understand how a writer thinks it sounds reasonable, let alone gets put into productions.
oh boy, this is a thing again?I think Comedy Central had given... Season 7 (?) and 8 really low budgets. So I think the writers split the cast up to save on costs. Kind of what happened with Arrested Development Season 4.
the original seasons where amazing. i watched the first reboot and other than the late Philip J Fry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Philip_J._Fry) i found the new episodes to be quite underwhelming. i don't think i can muster any excitement for a second reboot.
Why do so many shows have horrible writing?I've been thinking about this after watching Picard Season 2. Me and my dad enjoyed the second season, but in general, the dialog was poor. I specifically watched a few minutes of Season 3 (I'll get to it once it's on bluray) and like, just listenning to the dialog, it was so cringe. I think something happened and the succession of writing (Old guard training the new guard) broke and a lot of the new writers just don't know what they're doing. There's no "Yeah, if you really want to get at people's emotions, write this scene like this and you'll have them eating out of the palms of your hands". Either the new kids (Who I would imagine are younger than I am), don't want to listen, or just aren't skilled enough for it. Like, I'm remembering conversations with a former friend, who's half a decade younger than I, and things he'd point out in stuff like comics, shows and movies, in terms of dialogue, that would hype him up, I'd be like "eh?". So a lot of people like him are probably writing, so stuff they'd think is cool, really isn't and comes off bad on screen. Part of why theres a lot of people complaining about current media, is because these people writing think they're doing a great job, and it comes off on screen as "eh?".
Anime is so absurdly expensive.Part of the problem is that in Japan, they never re-priced things after the rental market. Back in the day, VHS used to be really expensive. That was because consumers weren't buying the tapes, rental companies were. So they'd charge a lot to the rental companies, and you'd rent. So if you wanted to buy a movie, it'd cost you north of 100 dollars (god knows what price today), since the assumption was that you'd rent it out. Can't remember what movie started the cheap trend, but Japan never followed suit. So their home media was and still is, in rental pricing. So when U.S. compainies go out to license and package anime, they get charged a lot. So it's harder for them to release at the cheap end, because there's very little wiggle room and it's getting harder to make money by volume. I think Funimation was lucky to make money by volume, so they'd make their S.A.V.E. line. With Funimation selling, streaming picking up, all you're really left with is Aniplex (Which is cancer to pricing), Diskotek media (Which normally focuses on old anime) and Sentai (Sentai prices at Japan pricing). So you're stuck at expensive anime. They've also had to slim things down, so that 200 dollar collector edition is pretty much all whoever(Sentai?) thinks they will sell. So they'll make a collector edition for the hardcore client. Since they don't expect new people (Children and teens) to buy.
13 episodes 20-min long, came out 3 years ago starting $35. Was originally priced at $65.
The first season of House of the Dragon started at $50, and is now $25. Despite coming out 7 months ago.
There's another anime I was looking at, that is like 25 episodes and is apparently only available in a $200 collectors set.
I mean like emotionally heavy.so my kid just started watching "Hailey's on it" this morning on Disney+. we're on episode 4 now so it's not like I'm really far in but:
I can work with that. 8)
The show I would trade with you is The Owl House on Disney+.
Try watching a few episodes.
If you like it, great.
If you don't like, sorry for wasting your time. ::P
And I'll try watching a few episodes of Dark.
Ai intro?yep they created the entire intro with AI.

The Futurama come back is supposed to be pretty good.First episode felt off to me, but it might just be from being so new. Had a lot of awkward 4th wall jokes.
Saw some clips of My Adventures with Superman, and thought it looked great.I watched all 6 episodes today. It certainly wasn't the most amazing show ever, but it made me so happy. I love this version of Lois.
It seems like they straight up lifted Luz from Owl House to play Lois. Very similar appearance and personality. Absolutely amazing to me.
I watched all 6 episodes today. It certainly wasn't the most amazing show ever, but it made me so happy. I love this version of Lois.I've heard a lot of good things about Lois.
It's a show about Super man who is just trying his best. It focuses a lot more on the character than the action.
I've heard a lot of good things about Lois.I won't necessarily say better.
Only version of her I really know is the Amy Adams one, so what's better here?
The company didn't report exactly how many people have watched Twisted Metal, but it is apparently joining the ranks of Bel Air, The Best Man: Final Chapters, Poker Face and Based on a True Story as one of Peacock's top five original series launched to date.
Nielsen data shows that Twisted Metal drew 400M viewing minutes in the weekend following its July 27 premiere, making it one of the week's most-watched streaming originals.

I installed Jellyfin, apparently some people use it in tandem with Plex to get the best of both worlds.Why would you use both? Wouldn't 1 be better than the other for all movies/shows?
I haven't gotten a great try with it. It seemed less responsive than Plex in terms of UI; but that could have been related to first time usage.
But it seems to have good features with better plugin support.
Why would you use both? Wouldn't 1 be better than the other for all movies/shows?Plex has better platform support. The PS5 supports Plex, whereas it does/did not have a way to stream when I got it.
I haven't seen the new season yet, but I really appreciate that Futurama has relatively consistent characters.New season is way too topical, but yup the characters are still the characters. No flanderization.
It bugs me a lot when I get into a show and a character becomes exclusively a trope. Like when a dumb character just becomes a dumber character and that's the entire depth to them. Or when the trope of everyone hates this character, becomes the only reason why that character even comes up.
Fry is a dumb character, and a lot of similar shows would just make that all he is. But he continues to have other traits, a friendship with Bender and likes Leela throughout.

disenchantment just got it's fifth season,.. where does that one land for you?
I've only seen like a season of Disenchantment.okay.
Comedy wise, I thought it was pretty dreadful.
I recall starting to get interested in the story, but I never picked it back up again after the second season ended.
I haven't seen the new season yet, but I really appreciate that Futurama has relatively consistent characters.They also manage to wonderfully explore his relationship with his family and his dog. His past is a huge part of who he is even though it occurs 1000 years prior.

i like how you are praising futurama while also very clearly pissing on simpsons.I like disenchantment but it has a fatal flaw, ironically that fatal flaw was something that was brought up in an episode of Futurama.

They also manage to wonderfully explore his relationship with his family and his dog. His past is a huge part of who he is even though it occurs 1000 years prior.yeah, that's probably my favorite part about disenchantment. watching out of order isn't really a think here due to Netflix. I will admit that as the seasons go on I can't say I remember much about what happened before.
The show is just so dang good.
I have yet to watch the new episodes. I will at some point though. My favorite characters are the profession and zap. I also love calculon
I like disenchantment but it has a fatal flaw, ironically that fatal flaw was something that was brought up in an episode of Futurama.
Generally I'm comedy shows, specially ones like the Simpsons. At the end of the episode, or start if the new one, everything returns the same. There is a default that doesn't change. Disenchantment ditches that, and it's one long story that keeps on going. So if you go back and watch a random episode, you have no idea what's going on.
Ironically in an episode in Futurama, they mention this concept. Fry says it at the end of a episode as a joke.
Watching Halo. It's so incredibly bad in some ways but it's also good in others. I hope it gets a second season.You're in luck cause i believe it was filming season 2. Not sure status with all the strikes but it is coming at some point.
Funny how so many shows don't give a crud about their source material. The world is mostly the same but the themes get butchered. So glad tlou avoided this.
You're in luck cause i believe it was filming season 2. Not sure status with all the strikes but it is coming at some point.What else is good on paramount plus? I'm just doing one free week to binge stuff.
I quite liked it. Not the best, but good enough for me to watch.
What else is good on paramount plus? I'm just doing one free week to binge stuff.i enjoyed star trek strange new worlds. And then I think a show called Legend Picket isn't bad

You own more than I've even watched.imdb's ranking is even weirder that I look at it.
Also that's a weird list. Represents the internet pretty well but I'd like to see one of these made with proper polling. I love Nathan For You but it's far from a crowd pleaser.
Well I've seen 9 out of the top 10 lmao. Guess which one I haven'tIt's not in the top 10 on the list I was looking at, but have you seen Bluey?
imdb's ranking is even weirder that I look at it.Only a few episodes here and there
The ranking doesn't necessarily match the order. Bluey is the fourth highest rated show, yet it's 16th on the list.
They must do some kind of weighting or something.

First Monk blu-ray coming tomorrow hopefully. Looking forward to seeing if the clean up was nice.Bah humbug.
Anyone here watched Yellowstone? Currently watching. It's qualityWhat do you mean there's no HD release?
Also started on the Wire for the first time :o . Been waiting for an HD release but I guess after over 20 years there isn't one coming lmao so I gave up.
What do you mean there's no HD release?Wait wtf is there
There's a Blu-ray collection in 1080p.
Wait wtf is thereIt's been on my short list to get the blu-rays.
How did I miss that. Anyway, I'm streaming them now and they might be HD
I got Curb Your Enthusiasm 11 seasons for $20 on iTunes.Ah I see they shot and intended it for 4:3 but the remaster is wide-screen but they seem to have adjusted well for that.
It's been on my short list to get the blu-rays.
blu-ray.com (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Wire-The-Complete-Series-Blu-ray/120000/)
The blu-ray.com review is pretty good, but it talks a lot about how the show was done in different aspect ratios. So there might be some goofiness? But it should be in HD.
Ah I see they shot and intended it for 4:3 but the remaster is wide-screen but they seem to have adjusted well for that.That's probably just the glorious film grain!
I'm going to recheck my version and yeah it seems wide-screen. It has quite a lot of grain though and doesn't seem high res but maybe that's just because it's a streaming version and I'm on a big 4k tv
Anyone here watched Yellowstone? Currently watching. It's qualityIt's airing on public tv every Sunday, so I'm in season 2 right now.

First season of Monk remastered on blu-ray coming today hopefully.Slightly mixed feelings.
Excited to see the show in hopefully better quality.
Hopefully it's worth it.
Slightly mixed feelings.I don't think I'd bother for any comedy.
Picture quality definitely looks better. Biggest difference though is better colors.
But not a huge upgrade, probably not worth getting for most people who have the DVD series.
Movies and TV shows that I'm currently waiting for:Columbo delayed by a month.
Columbo blu-ray (November 21st, 2023)
Oppenheimer (November 21st, 2023)
Monk blu-ray (November 28th, 2023)
Hilda season 3 (December 7th)
Monk movie (December 8th)
Suzume (TBA)
The Boys Season 3 iTunes (TBA)
The Boy and the Heron (TBA)
Have to see if Wish or Elio end up being any good.
Slightly mixed feelings.The more that I look at it, the better I feel about it.

Hilariously Peacock seems to only have Monk in 480i or something around there.That is pretty funny. You'd think streaming services would have the best quality available.

What would people say are their top ~5 favorite shows?I don't think about tv shows so this is just a random 5 off the top of my head, not a list I've refined year after year.
What would people say are their top ~5 favorite shows?Breaking Bad
I have a great appreciation for longevity. a show that is great for 200 episodes means more than a show that is amazing for 8 episodes. a show that is great the 10th time I watch it means more than a show that is only amazing the first watch.Ah yes I somehow forgot Seinfeld. Probably have to knock the office down to honourable mentions and put Seinfeld in
in no particular order:
- friends
- Seinfeld
- breaking bad/better call Saul
- full house/fuller house
- buffy the vampire slayer
- Dr who
- star trek
- Simpsons
- bluey
- firefly

NIIIICE! I really liked season 1 so hyped for this. I'm on the side of I don't give a shame that he takes his helmet off.I think the main problem is that he wasn't stoic when his helmet was off. I really liked the fight though when he was out of his armor. Showed that he was a super soldier even without the suit.
I've always thought master chief was a pretty 1 dimensional character anyway so at least they are trying to add depth to the character even if it doesn't always land 100% of the time.
Got The expanse complete series blu ray for $55 on amazon. It was a limited deal. Been waiting for a deal to grab itWhy are magboots in the expanse just regular boots with magnets? Shouldn't they at least have a magnet flap or two so people can walk somewhat naturally?
Better Call Saul is incredible at show not tell.Yeah, quite often you don't really know what's happening until later on but that's what makes it fun. Breaking Bad also had some episodes like that. Cinematography also incredible.Spoiler for Hidden:
I watched this scene, and I feel like most other shows would have exposition or more dialogue to explain everything.
Yeah, quite often you don't really know what's happening until later on but that's what makes it fun. Breaking Bad also had some episodes like that. Cinematography also incredible.There's lots of patterns in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul like that.
Maybe I'm just confused because I haven't seen better call saul, but that's not "show don't tell." Show don't tell is only about presenting information in a more active and engaging way, not leaving something unspoken. Your example seems more like an example of subtext.Im a bit confused how "showing" the viewer something, "without telling" the viewer about it, isnt show don't tell.
Im a bit confused how "showing" the viewer something, "without telling" the viewer about it, isnt show don't tell.Show don't tell predates movies and does not mean show something without telling the viewer about it. It refers to immersing a person in a scene instead of just describing it factually. "In descriptions of Nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes his eyes he gets a picture. For instance, you'll have a moonlit night if you write that on the mill dam a piece of glass from a broken bottle glittered like a bright little star, and that the black shadow of a dog or a wolf rolled past like a ball."
Trying to google the difference between subtext and show don't tell gives me
>One word: subtext. Subtext is the lifeblood of "show, don't tell."
>At its core, subtext is all 'Show, Don't Tell' is
At least from my naive understanding, they seem like concepts that go together.
Subtext would be the actual content that is to be inferred. The subtext would be the implied answers to the question.
Show don't tell is the given method to give that. They show the actions.
Maybe I'm completely wrong here, but I'm not finding any definitions that contradict my usage.
Show don't tell predates movies and does not mean show something without telling the viewer about it. It refers to immersing a person in a scene instead of just describing it factually.

For instance, you'll have a moonlit night if you write that on the mill dam a piece of glass from a broken bottle glittered like a bright little star, and that the black shadow of a dog or a wolf rolled past like a ball."I would say I didn't explain it very well.
Again I haven't seen better call saul but your example sounds more like reading between the lines. It might be obvious in context, but without that context you have no idea what is happening.
Brands like Funimation, Viz Media, and Discotek are typically associated with newly remastered anime classics. And it's through partnerships with postproduction companies like MediaOCD that they're able to bring those types of projects to market as physical discs. According to MediaOCD founder and CEO Justin Sevakis, many niche publishers have found success by playing specifically to the small, passionate communities of fans who want to own a piece of the media they love. Though major studios don't usually consider physical releases for projects that aren't expected to move at least 50,000 units, according to Sevakis, "a good hit in the niche Blu-ray space will move something like 5,000."
"We're not talking huge numbers here," he said. "But those are 5,000 people that really loved that anime or show or what have you. And because they get excited over the idea of physically owning media like this, I think it's imperative on us -- the people that put these products out -- to make something special and definitive."
Sevakis could not tell me the number of times during the production process "where it's like, 'Oh, we need this English dub, but the masters are gone. Better find an old DVD,'" only to then realize that the DVD in question never came out. That's when the hunt turns to eBay, where, luck willing, there might be a collector with an old VHS they're willing to part ways with. That willingness, Sevakis insisted, has been crucial to the continued existence of media that would otherwise probably become lost in the streaming age.Anime releases are kind of crazy. There's a ton that gets released.
On April 30, Disney Home Entertainment will release on physical media four more of its streaming series, two from Lucasfilm and two from Marvel Studios.
"Star Wars: Andor -- The Complete First Season," "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi -- The Complete Series," "Marvel Studios' Moon Knight: The Complete First Season" and "Marvel Studios' The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: The Complete First Season" will be released individually on 4K UHD and Blu-ray in collectible packaging.
Only one of those is worth watching, but I'm glad they're supporting discs.I assume that one is Andor?
I assume that one is Andor?Yeah. Wasn't amazing but I enjoyed it.
Yeah. Wasn't amazing but I enjoyed it.Moon Knight was alright. Disappointed me though. But I'd definitely put it in the upper tier of Disney shows, which isn't saying much lulz.
Obi Wan was really lame, brother lost interest in moon knight, and falcon looks so incredibly bad in the clips shared online.
Moon Knight was alright. Disappointed me though. But I'd definitely put it in the upper tier of Disney shows, which isn't saying much lulz.Andor is good. Slower than first season of Mando but better in other ways imo. Feels like a fresh take on star wars.
Falcon was meh
Haven't seen Andor! Is it that good?
finished 3 body problem this weekend. It was pretty great. Last half was a bit slower and i have only ever read the first half of the book so I don't know how that last half stacks up. But the first half seemed to be a pretty faithful adaptation.I never read the book. If the second half of the season was faithful to it, then I never will.
I never read the book. If the second half of the season was faithful to it, then I never will.To your spoiler. Yeah if i remember correctly it happens pretty similar to that. I think not too far after that I hadn't finished so not quite 100% on that.
If however they book doesn't become lame, then I'll definitely give the series a go. The first half of the show was great.Spoiler for Hidden:
Monk is on Netflix. Not that I need it, but it's a much higher quality version than the peacock version.I wish Hulu was hd streaming. Shogun has such a poor bitrate at times.
Peacock was definitely SD, Netflix is HD. Although I don't know that it's the same remaster as the Kino Lorber ones that are being put on Blu-ray.
Very curiously, I just found out that the Netflix one accidentally includes a deleted scene in the second episode. The scene breaks the episode. But I'm assuming that means that someone else did the remaster. Because the scene does not appear to be included in the Kino Lorber season 1, either in the episode or as a special feature.
