I'll start by mentioning some I am watching (and recommend!)

First of all:
(http://cf.broadsheet.ie/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vikings.jpg)

Now this show really surprised me. I wasn't expecting much but it has blown me away, really. Just finished season 2 yesterday and it was so good. Highly recommended (y)
IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2306299/?ref_=nv_sr_1


Second mention:
(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02553/hannibal1_2553735b.jpg)

Another really nice surprise. Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant as Hannibal. This show seems to be getting better and better. Apparently it's in danger of being cancelled, but I hope it will get renewed.
IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2243973/?ref_=nv_sr_1

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.

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.

yea season 8 is a good one,  It has cyclops(guy with 1 eye) and flora(fresh from china.. her husband is hilarious in the way he yells at her)    best to start it right from the beginning though,  they keep 8 contestants through the season and kick them off as they narrow down the worst 3 before a finale,

season 9 was a worst of the worst where they brought back some of the worst from the first 8 seasons,  it has an episode towards the end that is just epicly hilarious.. the lady completly went off the deepend

\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

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

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.

Dont you think they should condense the content a bit more for the TV series? Seems like they are trying to stretch it. I hope that's not what they are doing. Id rather have fewer seasons with more plot development per episode/season than more seasons with less.

What about the scenes between Jaime and Cersei, Sansa and Littlefinger and the Tyrion trial??

Well I don't think they should condense it more. You know how it is, build up drama and then BOOM something new comes along

Careful with GoT spoilers please!!  On season 4 episode 2 right now!  Oh and you guys do know that they are not going to follow books 4 and 5 of game of thrones right.  I believe they are mostly gonna be taking some elements from them instead of outright following them as much as the first 3.  That's at least what I got from what they were saying.  If not I enjoy the slower episodes because shows need them.  Might try the books soon.


As for shows I watch or will watch.  BRACE YOURSELFS!!

On TV:
-game of thrones
-Marvel's Agents of shield
-supernatural
-the vampire diaries
-the originals
-the 100
-arrow
-the flash(beginning in fall 2014)
-gotham(fall 2014)
-under the dome
-resurrection
-the walking dead
-revolution(cancelled I believe now)
-grimm
-continuum
-helix
-constantine(fall 2014)
-dominion(syfy-june 2014 - might watch, still not sure)
-haven
-the following
-sons of anarchy(fudgy love it)
-bates motel
-psych, but it's over for good now, :-(
-graceland
-Marvel's Agent Carter(hope it starts fall 2014)
-The Whispers(on abc, maybe fall 2014)
-


I believe there are some more but I can't remember them.  I watch a shame ton of shows.

On netflix I watch
-hemlock grove
-orange is the new black(might start it soon)
-house of cards(start it soon)
-catching up on 24
-watched all of LOST on netflix
-might start watching mad men on netflix
-may watch House, M.D.
-The Killing(great show)
-The 4400(awesome!)
-The X-files(need to finish)
-Doctor Who(need to finish)

I don't remember exactly but basically the son of the leader(?) was all nuts, and there were artifacts from different time periods that shouldn't have been there... it was setting up for some very interesting plot twists on the whole time-travel thing

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.

The tomorrow people was good and will likely be put on netflix in a few months since all the CW shows are being put on.  But it cancelled and ended in a cliffhanger so it may not be worth watching. 

The 100 is a post apocalyptic show where nuclear wars destroyed earth and humans.  Some humans were able to go to space and form The Ark where all the space stations came together.  The Ark is now dying so they send 100 delinquents to earth to see if it is habitable.  There are also grounders who survived on earth.  It's really good suspense.  Some good humor and pretty violent and brutal for CW.  It got renewed for a season 2 so I recommend watching the first season if it gets on netflix.  The season final is next week so it might be a little bit before it does.

@nnodley I originally started watching around season 2 or 3 and it does get better I suppose, but the last season or 2 didn't seem to continue with that rise... not terrible, but not what i was expecting after one of the season finale's

Just got hulu+ 2 month free trial !!!!!! catching up on some doctor who... don't know if I will keep it though as I am not a fan of paying for commercials... though it does have more up to date episodes than  netflix... but it also only keeps so many episodes of a season on hand so i can't start a show from the beginning of a season normally. 2 free months though really can't beat that!

No. The plot, reasons, facts are different... there are missing a lot of reasons over the actions of some characters... to be fair nothing happened like the last episode showed.

It is not timeline because the book's writer said the events are not in timeline sequence in the books... they are happening in most cases simultaneous or even in the past.

What.

Well, at least this season has been really good. Anarchist movements, assassination attempts, and prison breaks. Lots of prison breaks. Come to think of it, prison breaks have always been the norm for the Avatar series. :/

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.

They used a gaussian filter to cut down a security camera's footage to just scenes that showed someone moving. That mystified the head of an FBI like organization.

A few weeks ago they name dropped the silk road and of course screwed up that as well.

"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

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.

Agreed.  They got screwed over because of the start.  Though, on the flip side, season 2 was a mess and wasted 13 episodes that were needed.  Sad considering how good season 3 is they won't have enough time for season 4.  Season 4 is also starting off relatively weak too.  I don't think Kuvira is a good villain so far either.  Sad that Zaheer was used early on cause he's up there with Azula as a villain, if not better.  This season is missing that epicness that he brought, and I really couldn't care less about Kuvira.  It seems forced.

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.

Now to watch cbi cyber.

Oh gosh csi cyber was horrible with their tech stuff.

First half was ok. Not great, but nothing bad either. Hacking into baby monitors, protecting electronics in cages, backtracing ips, etc. Did stuff stupidly, but the stuff it was doing wasn't stupid.

Then the second half just jumped the shark. Full room holodeck type trash.

2/10 for tech representation.

4/10 for the show itself.

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. 

I'm hoping they push it to 10 for both season 7 and 8, but who know.  D.B. Weiss and David Benioff said they are finding it harder and harder to do 10 episodes every 12 months.  Probably just a battleship excuse from them honestly.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

Also seems the cliffhanger did what AMC wanted.  Drew in the second highest ratings for a premier with 17 million viewers.  #1 was season 5 premiere with 17.3 million.  This show is not going anywhere for at least another 5-6 years maybe more.

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

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.

And yeah Jeffrey Dean Morgan is amazing at almost all his roles he plays.   He is the perfect Negan.

The amount of hate for The Walking Dead on Gaf is annoying.  I still can't believe people think the premiere was too much gore.  It was so laid back to what gore there should have been.  Plus so many people are stuck on "If glenn dies we riot" or "if daryl dies we riot".  If a person is watching a show for just 1 person they shouldn't be watching in the first place.  

Plus I think the majority of the people that stopped watching after the premiere are non comic fans who don't even know they are based on a comic and don't understand the reality of the world in the show.  Plus Negan is a refreshing villain.  He is actually a villain that broke rick and his group like no other villain could.

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.

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.

Should note it looks like we are finally getting most of the various groups all in one episode, except hilltop and oceanside.  Looks like we get savior compound, alexandria, rick and aaron scavenging, and carl and jesus finding compound.  So it should be good.

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!?

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.

Apparently Fargo season 3 is coming very soon. Then the get down part 2 is out right now
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.

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.

Last episode was fudgy heartbreaking though.

fudgy weather took over a straight 2 hours on my Dayton CW channel.  Both arrow and the 100 were just weather the whole time.  I have never seen a news station take over for a full 2 hours let alone a whole hour because of severe weather.  The news station around here maybe cut in for a few minutes at a time for weather and a lot of times they wait for commercial breaks.

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.

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 ;D

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.

Was kinda odd having Ed Sheeran in the show but I really liked that scene. Kept on worrying she was about to slaughter them all.

Ok episode in general imo.

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.  

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.

Yeah 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.

They're desperate I guess. Its a terrible plan, but its the only one they have. If they don't get Cersei on side they know they're doomed.

But I enjoyed the end of it.

Wife and I watched a few episodes of Atypical.

A bunch of things in the show are just kinda ridiculous.

The mom pisses me off.
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size">The mom is just awful. They spend like a few episodes where she&#39;s feeling guilty about cheating.&nbsp; And she keeps telling that guy off.&nbsp; And then just randomly shows up to his house and then she cheats again.&nbsp; </span><br><br><span style="font-size: 1em;" class="bbc_size"></span>
[/size]

A lot of things just seem a little over the top in the show. 

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Like in the episode I just watched, the main character goes into a random classroom. The teacher only gets upset that he doesn&#39;t use French.&nbsp; But has no problem with a HS student walking into class and talking to a girl and start kissing her.&nbsp; <br><br>

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.

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.

I wonder what's going on in those, and if Ford had control over those too.

Man, so many questions.

Yeah that's what I like about it

The first two seasons of the 100 were filled with mystery and exploration of the world. The third season had a stupid overall story and lost the magic of exploring the world and it's secrets.

4th season was much better, with an honestly unexpected ending. Now it seems they are going back to the roots of what made the show great, and the conflict with the new people seems to have a lot of potential.

I don't think she has emotional swings, she just hides her true intentions quite well. I really love her character.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I think that is too simple for sure. We&#39;ll probably find out what that was towards the end of the season. <br><br>There&#39;s talk of Delos creating a drone army, or using data collected for blackmail. One theory I like is that they might have been trying to create human clones/ copies of people and send those out into the world instead. Basically replacing people with their own robots.

Hearing some interesting Westworld theories.

Spoiler for Hidden:
One is that Ford has been in the cradle this whole time, and it was a host copy of him that we were seeing last season.<br><br>Also, it seems cradle scenes have a different aspect ratio, so you can look back and see what was in the cradle. That includes most of the Dolores/ Bernarnold convos we&#39;ve been seeing in that room. So what&#39;s happening there?

What in the actual fudge!!  Amazing finale.  Some confusing shame though at the end. 

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.

Yeah I don't like Era for TV shows. They never seem to be happy about anything, I just ignore them.

I loved the finale, I was feeling let down because I thought it wouldn't pay off. I thought all the build up was for nothing and they'd just tried to be too confusing and I didn't understand why it had all happened. And then that twist. Whooooo boy they got me. Last half an hour was incredible, all was worth it. I don't understand the post credit scene either.

Spoiler for Hidden:
The one mystery remaining that wasn&#39;t explained for me was where William went, we saw him going down an elevator but then didn&#39;t see where. I guess that was where, but where and when the fudge is that?


Hopefully Alt Shift X can explain it well, his videos are always fantastic.

I thought the season overall was good, but it didn't quite match season 1 which is a shame. I think its clear now it won't manage to get close to Game of Thrones quality, which after season 1 it looked like it could. Still its a top TV show and I can't wait for more.

Then you must have forgotten the dressing part when introduced first time to William. They all select a hat to wear when they enter and they have to wear one.

I love the concept. There's a TV show on Netflix that deals with it a lot too.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Altered Carbon. In that Netflix show every person has a device in their brain stem that essentially records/is their consciousness. If someone dies they can just be transferred to a new body.<br><br>I like how Altered Carbon handled it and it&#39;s essentially the fundamental plot point in the show.<br><br>In Westworld however the plot was about AI robots becoming self aware. The brain scan plot feels lazily slapped on top instead of being integral. I think it would have been better imo if this was a side project/passion project by ford or something that was just used on a few people, instead of it being the primary reason the park has funding.

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.

New Doctor Who season is so good! I just started watching it and I'm loving it. So much more tension, and writing is so much better than in the past.

Episode 3 is an awesome revolving around Rosa Parks.

Reported Game of Thrones season 8 runtimes from https://winteriscoming.net/2019/03/11/runtimes-every-episode-game-thrones-season-8-revealed/ (https://winteriscoming.net/2019/03/11/runtimes-every-episode-game-thrones-season-8-revealed/)

Looking at HBO's website, the first two are confirmed but not sure about the source for 3-6, 3 should be 20 minutes longer than that according to reports.


Well this is disappointing if true, the first 3 would be fairly standard runtime and none would set a new record length for the show, despite being the shortest number of episodes yet.

It's worth it when things start really happening, like in GoT

Star trek season 2 is decent but still feels a bit amateurish in comparison

Cutting it close, but I have finished rewatching all past seasons of game of thrones. I am hyped!!!


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 was

Spoiler for Hidden:
Ned Stark as a kid is teaching someone how to fight/Jon Snow is teaching Ollie how to fight. Exact same swings and exact same lines.

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.

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

yeah 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.

Next week should be really interesting since it should tell us what direction the show will go. Is the night king going to essentially kill everyone and only a couple people will escape south? Will the night king be fully defeated and the threat in the North will be over? Will Cersei's army show up and screw over everything? The show is really preparing us for a lot of people to die next week but who knows how the heck it will actually go down. My personal bet is that Brienne of Tarth will be the one to kill the night king.

Lol 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.

This is what its all been leading to though, all this time and all this buildup was for this episode. If they don't nail it then it'll be disappointing for sure even if its still a very good episode.

Brilliant episode but my god am I disappointed and upset for so many reasons. All this build up and the night king goes down like an idiot without killing anyone important or even doing anything like fighting anyone. Where did Arya even come from at the end? I loved that Arya killed him but it was so out of the blue.

Direction was amazing thanks to Sapochnik but dang I hate this plot. Sure the Night King was close to winning but that was so predictable All this build up for such a predictable early ending to the Night King's conquest. No trick up his sleeve, no hidden motive or secret strategy... he was literally just trying to kill Bran just because reasons and then when he got to Bran he just stared at him doing nothing long enough to be stabbed in the back.

Ugh. What a disappointment.

At least Endgame delivered :P

Killing the night king was good imo. I didn't want that to happen going into this season, but at this point he either had to die tonight, kill essentially the entire north, or die in the first few minutes next week.


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.

GoT has been doing this for the last few seasons now, build up and tense moments but then fakeouts and nobody dying. This is what normal fantasy shows do, not game of thrones. Nobody important has died in so long, and you don't get worried any more because you can just tell they're gonna be okay. Jorah dying is the only exception but even so you could see that coming as well and he's not important anyway.

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. :-\

The direction of the episode was brilliant, Sapochnik did the best with the script he was given. The acting was also brilliant. Music was sensational.

The number of times characters have been almost killed and then miraculously saved at the last minute these last few seasons is just comical at this point.

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

Nope, 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.

Death doesn't matter anymore. With only a few episodes left, it's just impossible to have anything like in the past.

The battle should have had more named people die because it was silly how the show prsented it. However it would suck way more if the show really killed everyone and the last three episodes had nothing in them.

Just saw this on reddit and lol'd:

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

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.

Yes it always is and that's all that D&D are going for now. They're going for the shock compilation videos and the 20 character ERRRRMAGAAWSSHHH #BESTTHINGEVA #ARYAQUEEN tweets and they have no care in the world about any subtlety, or anything else really.

Most of my friends are big GoT fans and we're all super disappointed. The one's who aren't as big fans who don't think about the show as much and are just there for the easy shock factor and kewl moments are the ones who enjoyed the episode. As expected.

I think that Lyanna scene is the perfect divider. There's people who are going "yaaaaaaaaas queen" and loving it, and then there's other people who remember what show we're fudgy watching and are offended by the sheer stupidity of that scene. But the basic people who are very light fans, the ones going yas queen are the ones D&D are writing for now. So fudgy sad, the show got too big for its own good. Would have been miles better if Lyanna just got demolished by that giant in one hit.

I wish episode 2 didn't get my hopes up by having actual good writing, if it was shame as well I could have seen this coming.

There's quite a big jump between being angry at your enemy and ignoring your enemy to methodically comitt genocide.

Sure it put the rest of the season into context because they were building up to this episode all along, but they rushed here too quickly and too much of it still feels completely illogical. So many character archs have been butchered and so many characters have been made completely useless.

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 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.

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.

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'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.

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'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.

I think you need to rewatch the series because her actions come across a bit different in hindsight.

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.

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.

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.

I rewatched the series 2 times in the last year and most recently within the last few months. I think I'm good.

The masters was bad yes, but she got convinced about the problems of her actions and learned from it, also the masters were still slave owners and Dany clearly had a problem with slave owners. She never hurt anyone she didn't have a problem with.

The Tarlys surrendered yes so she gave them the option to bend the knee instead of just killing them and she still spared the rest of the Lannister troops. She always felt entitled to the throne yes but that doesn't mean she can't also believe in herself and her ability to get people to love her. She even made a few speeches about her faith in herself, and people like Missandei talk about how they follow her because of her actions and all the good things she's done.

Why are you equating this to a game? In a game you can fudge around and do shame like that but this is supposed to be perfectly believable characters, not characters that dop
 random shame.

Sure its a good episode, but things that happened made me angry and I never felt emotionally invested because the build up to it was so poor, and the execution of many of the big moments was poor as well.

And nah that image is battleship, people twisting words and taking shame out of context. Main characters always occasionally survived something they maye shouldn't have, but it was very rare and such a close call changed their characters, now its just people almost dying and surviving for the hell of it with absolutely no consequences.

Tyrion made lollipop jokes before but they were actually good and part of a story like in that scene pictured, he was also extremely witty and made jokes and subtle jabs all the time, made incredible speeches and had so many intelligent scenes and clashes with people like Cersei. The sucker joke at the start of season 8 is barely even a joke, its awful.

I have literally no idea why those deaths are pictured as if someone is trying to say "anticlimactic"? Drogo's death was a huge deal for Dany's story and it was emotionally traumatic for her to go through, she had to suffocate him to death and it was an incredibly moving scene. Don't even know what to say about Joffrey, everyone agrees it was one of the best and most satisfying character deaths of all time, and the scene was huge and extremely dramatic. It was incredibly well done. And Renly wasn't a huge deal but it was still a big emotional moment for Brienne and it had consequences for the story and so many characters.

I'm not even gonna bother with that third picture, if someone's trying to make a serious claim like that they're either being purposely obtuse or are extremely dumb.

And the last one isn't even a prophecy its just a standard dothraki procedure that every Khaleesi goes through? Compare that to Azor Ahai and the like which was built up for many seasons and foreshadowed, but its not even the prophecy I care about its the fact that the NK was built up with so much screen time for almost nothing.

And yeah the roles have turned, because I love this show and I'm a huge fan and I don't just treat it like a dumb blockbuster to turn off my brain to.

I'd have to agree with Legend on this one, but not getting into it though.  :P

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.

The 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.

Also Euron turning up right next to Jaime made me and my friends laugh out loud. Of fudgy course he was there.

Anyway its not just fans who are unhappy with this season, last two game of thrones eps have been rotten on rottentomatoes, with the latest one currently on 46%, the worst in series history. Critics recognise that its gone to shame.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IMDb for the ep. is 4.7/10, by far the lowest GoT episode. Hate train is at full speed I guess. Was a 7/10 ep for me, probably third best of the season because not much dumb shame happened, but the build up to this was so poor it lets it down, nothing that happens feels earned or satisfying. Also there is still quite a lot of dumb shame.

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.

But, we'll just agree to disagree

Well you're completely misunderstanding the backlash. 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.

The fan fiction is towards the crowd who were all wanting a happy ending and dying to see shame like Arya fudgy Gendry, Sansa becoming Queen of the North, all the stark kids being alive and happy as well as everyone else like Bronn, Davos, Brienne etc. The people who tweet going "yaaaaaaas queen" when a character does something badass like Arya killing NK. The people who seem to forget about previous seasons and all the build up.

And yes agreed the last couple seasons has been mostly fanfiction, I was just willing to forgive it if the ending delivered but it hasn't.

The great irony with Rick and Morty.

Is the belief that nothing matters because there's an infinite number of universes.  If everything goes wrong there's a new universe where it didn't. 

And yet, the show makes it clear this isn't the truth. Everything matters because every decision has a permanent effect.  Everything from the house being teleported to the entire world being cronenberged.

The show gets criticized for it's nihilism due to several characters believing that nothing matters, yet ironically the world around the characters seems to show that their belief is wrong.

I feel like I like Rick and Morty more and more every few months. 

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.

Somewhat.  
They've been talking about wanting longer seasons.
Season 3 was supposed to be 14 episodes.  

Thought the contract would give them that opportunity.

Hmm I suppose. I guess if 14 episodes meant there would be a few duds then I'm okay with there only being 10.

Haven't seen it, but looking at the reviews on RT, a lot of "normal" people don't feel like it is actually Watchmen.  
Basically they put their own spin on the story/made their own story in the universe and it upset a lot of 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:

-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.

<br>For example hologram Rick becomes real and attacks and then gets killed.&nbsp; <br><br>This all happens within like 5 or 10 seconds.&nbsp; It just feels like a bit that got thrown in to me.&nbsp; <br>



Maybe I will feel better about that stuff on later watchings. 

On some level, it's always going to be hard to live up to the first 3 seasons.  They aren't perfect, but they just feel like such a labor of love for the characters.  Every moment feels deliberate.

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.

2/5 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:

ep 1: 7/10
ep 2: 4/10
ep 3: 5/10
ep 4: 0/10
ep 5: 8/10

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.

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.

As someone who read the first 2 books which most of this story is based on.

Either we need to discover aliens and start massively investing in space tech, or we need to massively invest in life extending medicine.

At least we'll get to experience space tourism within our local chunk of the system. For $100,000 you could go to space next year (for five minutes).

<br>On first viewing, I haven&#39;t liked part 2 as much. &nbsp;But on second viewing, I think it genuinely stands up with the first 3 seasons. <br><br>

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.

Probably DVD.
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'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.

Watching Korra.

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.
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.

So..  I've been watching She-ra.  Started watching because one of the characters was familiar and was trying to figure out why.  

It's such an odd show.  Theres a huge contrast in art. Like you can go from twinkly fairy princesses in one scene to dark alien hiding in the shadows planning on how to kill everyone in the next.  

There's a few episodes that are not so good. But overall I am enjoying the story.
I get Avatar TLA vibes at times.  The villains have better arcs here than a lot of shows.  
There's good diversity in the cast.

Did something crazy. Bought something off eBay.  


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.

I don't know.  
They have good reviews, and all the disks seem to be good enough to start.  Like I was able to get the first 3 episodes, but after that, it went south.  

So I think I'm going to assume it's an honest mistake.

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.

 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.

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. 

at the moment,. the badly scripted super hero show is my son's favorite thing ever. he watches Soo many and he greatly prefers it to "better" shows.  


bottom: all in all I thought peppa pig was one of the better kids shows my kids loved.  maybe it is because the loved it for less long. paw patrol was pretty bad. the wiggles was worse.  dora the explorer was terrible. 

if you want a kids show that respects adults the best I've seen is bluey.   it's australian and on disney+.  my kid loves it and honestly,.. I kind of like it too.

I didn't really love Season 4. At the time I kind of wrote it off as needing to rewatch it. It's been a pretty consistent trend for me to like it okay the first time and really love it the second time I watch it.

But season 5 is off to a really great start. The episode really felt like it fit in with the first couple of seasons.

The episode was okay.

The premise is so raunchy, even the creators seemed a bit down about it.

Spoilers for those who don't care:
Spoiler for plot:
<br>The premise is Morty gets jerked off by a horse semen collector. <br>Much of the episode is about fighting enlarged versions of Morty&#39;s sperm. <br>But they don&#39;t realize it&#39;s Morty&#39;s so they get Summer&#39;s egg to attract them. <br><br>And the episode ends with a large incest baby. <br>


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.

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.

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.

I feel like I watch Rick and Morty for different reasons compared to most people.  

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:
<br>Jerry helping Beth with the deer<br>Rick getting depressed<br>


Rick and Morty is still entertaining. But I have been feeling like it's been getting away from having these things.

Wifey has been watching a show called Manifest.  

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'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.

All crewed flights are scary but this one especially so. They're going higher than any human since 1999.


But of course it should be perfect. I think over the next decade space tourism will become a regular thing. Private space stations are being built and missions like Inspiration 4 and Dear Moon can freely fly around space. Two movies are being filmed in space too.

Man this season of survivor is starting off like hot garbage, imo.  Waaaaaay too theatrical.  I've never been the biggest fan of US survivor, but got really into watching the newer Australian Survivor which are soooo much better than the US.  So thought maybe i'd get into the US one more.  I'll continue watching cause its an interesting game at times but man most of the americans on this one are just stupid.

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.

Also made me think of Lost lol. I remember getting Panda Express on the way home from speech therapy and watching the pilot.

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.

But I'm willing to see how this new season plays out. Might get better once they get past the initial premiere where they had to talk a lot about coming back after being off for over a year.

My wife and I just finished watching Psych, which is a great show.

My wife has been watching The Manifest generally without me. Which is good...

As I said before, I think the premise is interesting, but most of everything else is so bad.

The writing isn't completely terrible, but large notable chunks of it are.
Spoiler for A specific scene in Season 3, not important for the plot:
<br>I just watched this scene, where someone with intense agoraphobia gets easily talked into leaving her house.<br><br>Apparently telling people &quot;we all have our parts to play, and we&#39;re all terrified&quot; is better than years worth of therapy.<br>


A lot of the intense scenes are forced. Like the tension isn't there, because there's actually tension. The tension is there because the actors are being overly dramatic.  (I blame the director, because it's pretty much all the actors.)

To give an example, in that scene above, one of the actor picks up a pencil and paper and tells the other person to draw something. But it's done like he's trying to run a race.  

There's so many little things about the show that put me off.

It's set before Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings.

Basically they're making stuff up, but they're not allowed to make anything that contradicts anything Tolkien has written. The Tolkien Estate is apparently pretty involved with this one.

Quote
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.

does LotR even command an audience anymore?   that was pre-harry potter, pre-MCU, pre-star wars.    i was really excited for the LotR movies,.. 20 years ago.   today my default opinion is "pass".   this will need to be spectacular to even get me to give it a try.

First one was pretty good I'd say.

It definitely has the worst lows of the entire series, but it had some great highs too.  The series finale hits hard.

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:
'Futurama' Revival Ordered at Hulu With Original Cast Returning - Variety (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/futurama-revival-hulu-1235176203/)
I love... love.. futurama. But im not sure i want this

I feel they won't capture the same creativity, tone and comedy as they originally had. Specially in todays cancel culture where you can't stay anything.

And the show had a great ending. Should just keep it at that.

I've heard Amphibia and The Owl House are good shows if you like Gravity Falls. I'm hoping that's true.

Turns out the former just ended airing a couple weeks ago.

And the latter is ending with a third season.

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.

I'm really loving the new Star Trek shows and think those are killing it more than Star Wars for me right now.

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.
Did you ever watch Star vs The Forces of Evil?

I feel like there are a bunch of trends with comedy series when they decline:

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.

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

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.  

after HBO started making up their own content they betrayed those personalities in ways that felt like they were more concerned about putting specific action sequences on the screen than staying true to the characters.   that's what i hated about them.  every twist and turn in the books felt justified.  the show lurked from one thing to another without any justification sometimes and that made it painful to watch.   

the final moment with danaerys could have been fine if only it wasn't sooo fukting unnecessary and unjustified by the scenes that preceded it.

Yep.  

Its made worse by the fact that the movies exist. The movies put out in 10 minutes more than what 2 full episodes have.

Maybe movies aren't the best medium for comparison. But there are some 20 minute TV shows that feel more packed than what this pulls in two hours.

Finished the second episode of Rings of Power last night. Felt better than the first episode to me.

I feel like the first episode had a lot of scenes where it felt like the whole point of the scene was just to show
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>That Galadriel was on the search for Sauron, and many of her fellow people didn&#39;t believe that he was still out there.<br>Felt like they wasted a good bit of time trying to hammer that in.<br><br>


I feel like
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Galadriel is the weakest part of the show right now.<br>It&#39;s not an issue with her particularly, but it feels like her story is going the slowest to get anywhere interesting. <br><br>Nori&#39;s story has a mystery going on with the weird guy. <br>Arondir has a mystery going on, with the tunnels, and the orc creature.<br>Elrond has some interesting dynamics going on with the dwarves.<br><br>Galadriel is still the same as like 4 minutes in. She&#39;s had like two obstacles, and neither of them feel very interesting. <br>The bit where she&#39;s about to go to Valinor, but then leaves at the last moment. That has some nice emotional flashbacks, but they also feel unearned for some reason. &nbsp;Like it felt like not enough had happened since we first saw that moment (and not really a time thing, timing wise there was a fair bit of time between that scene and the flashback, but it felt like not enough had happened)<br>Like if there was a scene where you flashbacked to the scene just before, that would feel awkward, and this kind of gave the same feeling.<br><br>Overall though, I find myself not really caring about Galadriel&#39;s part.<br><br>Also I get weird Star Wars vibes from Elrond. Like the very proper way he talks somewhat reminds me of Obi Wan in the prequel trilogy.<br>

Saw 4 episodes of Lord of the Rings last night.  I actually enjoy the pacing for the most part.  There's things television lends to better than movies and they're taking advantage of that.  They're letting things breath vs having to be concise like a movie has to be.

Finished Vox Machina.  It was good.  

Slowly watching She-Hulk.  Two episodes behind.  I'm also enjoying it.

Finished The Boys over the summer, well until the latest episode anyways.  It was great.  Such a great deconstruction of super heroes.

Finished Stranger Things a month back.  dang.  That season was up there with Lost for me in terms of emotions.  Even the creepy stuff was so well done.

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.

The more the show goes on, the more he realises people around him arent supporting him but using him, and he has been getting rid of them one by one. But the more he does that, the closer he gets to snapping.

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
 
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.

I feel like I usually see Seasons 2-9, sometimes 2-10 as being the high for Simpsons.

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.

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'd put more above Rick and Morty too, as good as it is.

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:
- 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.

I like the crown though. It's very well made with quality acting. Elisabeth's death no doubt bumps it up a bit though

There's lots of goofiness in the hobbit movies for sure. Perhaps especially in the third movie.

A lot of people are bothered by the writing and stuff in RoP.

<br>The gandalf evil thing was really stupid. I assumed he was gandalf the second I saw him so the reveal that he was sauron was pretty great until they backtracked. What was the point of having a well executed twist if they&#39;d just follow it up with &quot;just kidding?&quot;<br>

Started Amphibia based on recommendations (for people who loved Gravity Falls.) Owl House was the previous show, and for me that lived up to it. Owl House is amazing, and I'm hoping they stick their forced landing.

Not sure if I'll love Amphibia like I love Owl House, but it's off to a good start.



I've said it before, but I really like having Plex.
It's awesome.

I own everything on it. I don't need to get Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, HboMax to get the same content.

I haven't started 1899.  a bit disappointed that you're saying it's not as good as dark.  I mean,.. I don't know I expected it to be.  dark was sooo amazing.  but I was hoping for the best. 

I decided to start Wednesday first because I was on an ipad at my mother in law's house and figured 1899 would benefit more from the big screen I have at home.  but I'm absolutely in love with the show.  

i've been a bit of a fan of Jenna Ortega since I first saw her in "you".  ...but she absolutely nailed Wednesday Adams here and the writing is fantastic.

Don't get me wrong 1899 is amazing. But Darks twist and turns were so gripping and masterfully threaded into the narrative.

1899 has some really good twists towards the end

1899 has an amazing soundtrack. Which given how good darks was it's not surprising

It got better but 1899 was pretty lame imo.

Nothing really engaged me. Moment to moment drama mostly didn't work imo since things were so predictable and it didn't feel like consequences were earned.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>For example the mutiny. It just kinda happened? The captain started making enemies in the first episode yet never did anything to stop it. The show didn&#39;t give me any reason to care.<br><br>End of the first episode my theory was either they&#39;re all ghosts or they&#39;re in a simulation/hallucination. Everyone jumping off the side just felt pointless since there were no stakes. Only in the final 2 episodes when the real clues/answers showed up did I start having a fun time.<br><br>I liked the pyraminx at the end. Those are fun twisty puzzles. Liked the symmetry of them being on a long duration space journey too.<br><br>Also was amused by what I assumed was a quantum computer on the ship near the end. They forgot to keep it cooled, no wonder everything started breaking after that!&nbsp; ;) <br>


Still happy I watched it though. My sister praised it so I binged the series at her request.

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.  

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.

Also sounds like TLOU show is fantastic.  I'm betting this will be one of their largest series premieres ever.

My thoughts on Velma:

Spoiler for Relatively spoiler free:
<br>The show feels like it&#39;s constantly trying over itself to make a joke, be edgy, or make meta-commentary. <br>Because of that you get like a couple meaningful lines of dialogue a minute. <br><br>If you&#39;re into absurdity humor, you might find this to be an actually good show. <br><br>I was hoping for a Scooby Doo that was more in line with Mystery Incorporated and managed to have an adult spin on it<br><br>Instead it manages to feel worse than most of the other series. <br>


Going to spoil the first 5 minutes of the opening here.
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>We start off with Daphne seeing two cockroaches banging in the women&#39;s locker room. <br><br>Daphne gets into the shower at school with several other people, and you can clearly see everyone&#39;s butts. <br><br>The girls spend the next couple minutes talking about how &quot;the first episode of new shows has way more gratuitous nudity than the rest of the series?&quot;<br><br>They literally say that. There&#39;s no clever way of framing it. They&#39;re just smashing the fourth wall to make some meta-commentary. <br>


There's only been one semi interesting story line. But it's so exhausting to get through to it.

<br>The show feels like it&#39;s constantly trying over itself to make a joke, be edgy, or make meta-commentary. <br>Because of that you get like a couple meaningful lines of dialogue a minute. <br><br>If you&#39;re into absurdity humor, you might find this to be an actually good show. <br><br>I was hoping for a Scooby Doo that was more in line with Mystery Incorporated and managed to have an adult spin on it<br><br>Instead it manages to feel worse than most of the other series. <br>


Going to spoil the first 5 minutes of the opening here.
Spoiler for Hidden:

We start off with Daphne seeing two cockroaches banging in the women's locker room.

Daphne gets into the shower at school with several other people, and you can clearly see everyone's butts.

The girls spend the next couple minutes talking about how "the first episode of new shows has way more gratuitous nudity than the rest of the series?"

They literally say that. There's no clever way of framing it. They're just smashing the fourth wall to make some meta-commentary.


There's only been one semi interesting story line. But it's so exhausting to get through to it.
Been reading its racist as fudge. After what I've seen i dont see why any white person would ever wanna see this

I've been in Italy, it's all my fault.
glad to see everyone enjoying this.  

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.

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.

<br>It&#39;s been a while, but I think the prologue is a good bit longer. I think it&#39;s like 33 minutes in the show and closer to 20 in the game. &nbsp;<br><br>But then afterwards, the show goes a lot faster. It gets to Ellie much faster and leaving much faster I think. <br>

would be cool for Sony if it was.  

less content to pull from though.   like,.. maybe that make a season on the time between games 1 and 2 and still it's only a three season show.  


...unless the GaaS game is bringing a lot of story to the franchise.   even then,.. it's got to be a spin off right?  



meanwhile at Netflix:

generally 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.

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.

Sony 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.

Man what a good episode. Lots of changes shown in this episode in regards to the infected but it definitely feels better for TV. And it's a welcome change to give people who have played the game something different and new.

The intensity of some of the scenes makes me feel exactly like I felt in that certain section of the game. So good

1. 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.

2. i fear for what HBO would do with the show without the video game lore to bind it.  i don't know how they'd justify it but i know they'd have bella ramsey getting topless and doing something stupid like mass shooting a bunch of people.   ...probably while topless.

He's considered a co-creator, but I think Dan Harmon does most of the writing.

Adult Swim is continuing Season 7 without him, and probably seasons 8-10 or whatever they're contracted to do yet.

bluey is one of the greatest shows ever made.   

you can really tell that parents wrote the show.  they did such a fantastic job of capturing mundane but real parenting things that no one else has ever covered in a way that is so fun for both kids and adults.   very often i can quote or reference bluey to my kids in terms of handling real-life and sometimes difficult situations that my kids face.

i'd recommend to anyone but it is a MUST WATCH to anyone with kids in the 5-10 range.

Since when has the notion of innocent until proven guilty disappeared? If he is proven guilty and there is proof, then i get cutting ties with him.

1st amendment and "innocent until proven guilty" is for how government operates.

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.



So they may very well feel that they have a basis for believing the allegations.

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  

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.

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.

it's absolutely about speech.   

owning a business and having a person on my payroll that is known to sexually harass women is the same thing as saying i'm okay with sexual harassment.  

with justin it's not even entirely about whether he beat his wife.   he absolutely made those tweets to underage girls.   keeping him in employment is an endorsement of that behavior.  

plenty of shame bags have jobs.  companies can't fully monitor every person in their employment.   the key to being a chicken nugget with a job is keeping quite about being a shame bag.  as soon as that becomes public companies will fire you.  the "decency clause (https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1083&context=iplj#:~:text=-making procedures.'-,The,as the)" has been upheld in court as a fundamental freedom of speech right of employers.

so I actually went and read the tweets, saw the pictures, and saw the comments from people close to the situation.

It seems they fired him/cut ties because it was more than a simple allegation. While I stand by my point that you shouldn't fire someone simply because of an allegation, this situation however, reeks. And reeks badly. Quiet frankly, it seems they actually tolerated this shame more than they should have.

I think it's a bit of a joint effort.

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.

Horizon and gow still seem to be 2 years away. Hard to hype things up while so little is known.

Gow seems very hard to make. Film tricks can make him look big but it'd need tons of cgi to make him do Kratos stuff. I expect it to be meh like the Halo tv show.

I'm down to the last 4 episodes of Breaking Bad.

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.

Slight exaggeration.
I finished one episode, was planning on going to bed in the next ~15 minutes, but I wanted to see what happened next. So I thought watching the next ~5 or 10 minutes would be good.

But what I thought was 10 minutes, ended being like 25 or 30 minutes. And I ended up finishing the episode instead, because I had already made it that far.

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).

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 my top 3 animated tv shows:
Avatar TLA, Gravity Falls, The Owl House

Top 3 non-animated:
Monk, Psych, Breaking Bad

Top 3 anime:
Naruto, Demon Slayer, Death Note.

I really hate when the cliffhangers just exist to get you to watch the next episode.

"Oh wow how the heck are they going to get out of this!?"

5 minutes into next episode.

"Oh ok I guess that's how they got out of it."

most shows want to be "episodic" meaning you can watch a single episode by itself having never watched another episode.  it makes the show approachable for newcomers. 

but breaking bad cannot be watched like that.  you must watch it in the order it was released.  if you miss a single episode you'll be lost.  it's a dangerous formate because it typically means a smaller userbase over time. here cliffhangers make sense because they need you to come back.

Forced, because Disney didn't feel it fit their brand. They shortened season 3.

Dana was telling people to support the show any way they can, so Disney would change their mind.

I watched TLOU final.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Didn&#39;t like it at all as much as the game, but it&#39;s hard to judge as someone who knew every twist. One of the most powerful things in the game was the delayed satisfaction of saving Ellie. You really think Joel might go along with her being killed in surgery, so then when he &quot;snaps&quot; it&#39;s so so perfect. Yet in the show it was always presented as he&#39;s going to try and save her.<br><br>Fun having Ashley Johnson play Ellie&#39;s mom, although that&#39;s a very stupid explanation for why Ellie is immune. The infection would probably never transfer to a baby&#39;s blood, let alone in mere seconds.<br>


Fun seeing Laura Bailey's cameo. I guess in the second season that person will have a bigger role.

The infection would probably never transfer to a baby's blood, let alone in mere seconds.

I feel like there are other things that bothered me more about those two things.
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>The whole Joel thing felt like a dream sequence almost. &nbsp;There just wasn&#39;t any tension either way. No tension for whether he was going to save her. But also no tension whether he was going to be able to. It felt like the show should have added an extra 10 minutes to add tension to it.<br><br>Something that bothers me about how they imply that Ellie became immune, is that it kind of takes away the mystery. In a practical way. &nbsp;<br>It starts to feel like it would have been possible for Marlene to have known how Ellie became immune, and it feels like it should have been recreatable without going through everything they&#39;ve went through. &nbsp;<br>

Decided to watch the rest of Velma to have something in the background while I was working.

After the first 2 episodes, it goes from unbelievably bad to just average bad.
It felt like the commentary declined substantially and the show felt more focused on the story and the characters.

I still wouldn't recommend it.

There's a lot of feminist rhetoric, much more so than racial rhetoric. It's at least often meaningful. Much of it is used to show one of the characters valuing women more.

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.

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.

Once I was talking to a friend and she sent a snap of something, a short video, she was watching friends. Just from the snap I managed to know what episode it was.

I havent watched scrubs in a long long while. I want to forget it so I can rematch it again

It's a shame 1899 didn't match Dark even though it was very good as well at times

I also really like Teen Wolf. It's on Hulu or paramount+. First season is a little more on the corny and teen drama side but as the season goes on and subsequent seasons really hit hard into tons of myths like Japanese myths with kitsune's, Oni, and plenty of others.

It's one I tend to like rewatching every 2 or 3 years

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 don't think it really comes into its own until a bit later in the first season.  
Second season is pretty great.

- 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.

Not that they're very similar shows, but it's hard to come up with a better comparison to Dark...  
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...

i'll got back to owl house tonight i suppose.    new girl should have been kicked off netflix today and i tried to finish that series up last week.  didn't quite make it but i got to all but the last season.  not the kind of show that will entirely bother me that i didn't finish it but at the same time i was enjoying that show and wanted to catch as much of it as i could.

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.

Why do so many shows have horrible writing?

Spoilers for the Garner show on Apple TV. The whole conclusion of the show was that moving states as a 16 year old sucks more than never seeing your dad again.

The feds wanted to put a family into the witness protection program, but Garner and the dad rejected that because the dad's daughter would have to change schools. This is the "happy" ending according to the show.

I can understand writing being boring.

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.

I did film school as a kid but I focused on editing and cinematography.

It's been really fun discovering this youtube channel. I had never seen a film/tv writer critique film/tv writing before and it makes bad writing even more confusing. I assume most professional writers know the same stuff as this youtuber so why are so many shows so bad?

Anime is so absurdly expensive. 

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 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.

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.

There's another anime I was looking at, that is like 25 episodes and is apparently only available in a $200 collectors set.
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.

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.  
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:
1. it's pretty good.  
2. it's reminds me of owl house.  I mean, it's different in a lot of obvious ways but it "feels" similar especially in target audience.  

anyways, just posting because I know you love owl house so I feel like you'd like this too.

There's a series of IT instructional videos called The Inside Man.

It's kind of weird because it's set up like an actual TV series and has a weirdly large budget.

It'll be stuff like oh someone picked up a USB stick and shows why it might be a bad idea.

This 8 minute episode in season 5 starts with someone running into a huge castle. And it shows like 6 rooms. And then it cuts to a hospital set up. And they have something like 25 people on screen throughout the episode.

Whereas like most of the training videos I've seen are like 2 people in a room.

So I am not sure what this is from. Just going to throw it out there just in case.

But I remember some line where someone says "I appreciate you" in a very buff voice.

I almost think there's two buff people hugging while this is said.

I'm pretty sure it's a slightly comical scene where they're both trying to "appreciate each other". Not in any kind of inappropriate way.

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's a show about Super man who is just trying his best. It focuses a lot more on the character than the action.

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.

Disclaimer: My experience with DC animated TV series is limited. I know a few series are supposed to be excellent.

But the biggest one I have experience with is Justice League, and probably a dozen animated movies. So much of the animated stuff feels problem driven. Like there's a new bad guy every other episode, and most of the pair of episodes is centered around the problems that the bad guy is causing.

Personal problems sometimes exist, but the shows just tend to feel like they're 90% about fighting / solving a problem.

My adventures with superman isn't like that at all.  There is actual dynamic between the characters and it's amazing.

Plex has better platform support. The PS5 supports Plex, whereas it does/did not have a way to stream when I got it.

Jellyfin is supposed to be better for offline use. Plex has some online authorization, you can give IP addresses a pass, but for some reason it seems to work better on different clients. I was able to get it to work on the TV (Android OS), but it wasn't working on Roku.  


And I thought it would be good to try it out, if you guys needed any help with Jellyfin.

I haven't seen the new season yet, but I really appreciate that Futurama has relatively consistent characters.

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.

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.

I would kind of say there's a spectrum of continuity.
Resets everything all the time vs always having continuity.

Disenchantment is on one end of the spectrum.  But I think some shows like Futurama and Rick and Morty are somewhere in the middle. In Rick and Morty things have consequences and carry over to latter episodes, but there's a lot of flexibility. They can show different universes and it doesn't break continuity.  In Futurama there's less continuity, you don't need to watch all of the episodes to know what's going on, but there are instances where things have consequences.

Watching Halo. It's so incredibly bad in some ways but it's also good in others. I hope it gets a second season.


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.

I quite liked it.  Not the best, but good enough for me to watch.

I've been binge watching Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated.

I have some issues with season 1, but by and large it's legitimately great. And I don't mean great for Scooby-Doo.

It is so unlike any other Scooby-Doo that I've watched.

- there are actual threats in some of the episodes.

- long standing mysteries throughout the show (which can be considered a good/bad thing.)

imdb's ranking is even weirder that I look at it.
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.

Got the Godfather trilogy on 4k. Digital + UHD. The box set is nicer than I expected, comes seemingly 3 versions of Part III, which isn't supposed to be great.

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.

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

That's probably just the glorious film grain!  

On a side note, do people here like film grain? A lot of the blu-ray reviewers and film buffs really dislike it when they get rid of film grain (I think on the basis that they're removing detail in that process)

The more that I look at it, the better I feel about it.
Colors are more lifelike, the DVD looks dull by comparison. A pretty big upgrade for 480i to 1080p.

On the complete other end of the spectrum from the Godfather, I've been watching Be Cool, Scooby-Doo.

I was expecting it to be atrocious, it has a terrible art style, and it kind of gets ignored in favor of Mystery Incorporated, and the original and What's New.

But surprisingly, I'm enjoying it, maybe even more than the original. It's got quirky characters, the writing is mostly good.

It's not as good as Mystery Incorporated though. That one I would liken more to a slightly worse Gravity Falls than the other Scooby-Doo series.

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. 

in no particular order:
- friends
- Seinfeld
- breaking bad/better call Saul 
- full house/fuller house 
- buffy the vampire slayer
- Dr who
- star trek

Futurama
The Owl House


I feel like Monk is probably the worst on the list quality wise. But I think it's a pretty unique show. A lot of crime shows go more into serious drama than I really like. Monk is a big comfort show for me.

Extremely rarely.

I think it's dependent on popularity + if someone else is making the show (WB distributes blu-rays of Lucifer even though the second half is a Netflix original).

It's sometimes spotty though.
The first two seasons of Stranger Things is on blu-ray, then season 3 is only on DVD.

sometimes Netflix produces their own content.  sometimes Netflix buys the steaming rights to things produced not by Netflix and then slaps their label on it anyways.  it's the latter that tends to get put out on Blu-ray because it's not Netflix doing the work.   they don't seem to care about physical releases as long as it can't be streamed anywhere else.

I actually wrote to Criterion to ask if they'd distribute Klaus, since they've distributed a number of Netflix films before.

I'm naively hoping if I buy the first season of Wednesday, then the future ones will be more likely to come out too.

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'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.

a proper adventure requires linear.   wide linear or small sections of open can work but a full open world is a terrible design for Indy.

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.

Why 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.  

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>There is this whole segment where Mike throws shoes onto some power lines. <br><br>Starts shooting, convinces these two people that it is just hunters somewhere. <br><br>He shoots the shoes, the shoes have drugs in them, they cover the truck that the two people were driving. You see them get arrested at the border. <br><br><br>Everything in here is the bare minimum. There&#39;s no exposition or dialogue explaining what Mike is doing wasting bullets. There&#39;s no explanation about the shoes. <br><br>They just show what happens and that&#39;s it. It makes perfect sense from context.<br><br>


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.

A lot of show, don't tell.
A lot of episodes where the first scene is actually the last scene.

I feel like both shows are a lot of that. This was just one particular segment where I was thinking about it.

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.

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. "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."

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.

I would say I didn't explain it very well.

The scene shows everything through this sequence of events.

A little more spoilery here:

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br><br>The context for the most part only adds that he&#39;s doing a job for someone. <br><br>The scene has this big sequence of events where they explain almost everything through action.<br><br>You have no idea what he&#39;s doing when the scene starts. <br><br>He throws shoes on the power line.<br><br>He waits for these two guys to come by.<br><br>He starts shooting in the air. The guys react. He keeps shooting in the air. And they make a comment &quot;it must be hunters&quot;. <br><br>The guys get back in their truck and start leaving. <br><br>He shoots the shoes, they show you a white powder landing on the truck. <br><br>Then they show the truck pulling into a border patrol station. And a sniffer dog stopping at the truck, and the two guys get arrested. <br><br>


Here's the scene in it's entirety. Maybe I'm wrong about it being an example of "show-don't-tell".

The golden age of DVDs isn't over yet for anime fans (https://www.theverge.com/24062618/anime-dvd-bluray-discotek-physical-media)

Quote
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."
Quote
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.

Although some of it can be immensely pricey. I've seen some 12-24 episode series that cost $200 for a Blu-ray set.  Which is higher than most blu-ray sets I've seen of regular tv series.  Aside from a few 200 episode series like Supernatural.

At the very least though, it's nice that there are so many anime series still getting blu-ray releases. Quite a few of them are pretty reasonably priced.

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.

Falcon was meh
