Also, I’m enjoying President Curtis more than I thought I would. It’s no Rick and Morty, but that’s not a bad thing.
Tried Spider-Noir last night.
I love Nic Cage as much as anyone, but he’s too old for this role. Or, at least they shouldn’t have tried to make him look younger with the bad hair dye job, an obviously-too-young ill-fated wife, etc. They should have leaned into his age and made it a bigger part of his character. “I’m getting too old for this shit.” He should have gray hair, and he could have lost a daughter instead of a wife. I’d buy that his powers allow him to be more physically imposing than a typical 60-year-old might be. Making him younger was a mistake, because they didn’t do it well.
Remember when Roger Moore quit playing Bond in part because the Bond girls were too young for him, and the studio wouldn’t budge? He was 57 when he quit.
Other than that, I watched the whole first episode without skipping any parts, so that’s a “recommended” from me.

I was really happy how this season went. After getting nervous by how the season started and feeling like we weren’t going to get anywhere, it really went all out and we got so much lore and backstory. Very excited for S4.
Yeah, the first half using the amnesia trope kinda made me lose interest, but damn did the last 2 episodes more than make up for it.
I never quite hated the amnesia thing, and I felt that it ended up being important to the main plot, as opposed to just dragging out the episodes. That really saved the first half of the season for me. I didn’t know how they were going to end the show withing just 1 more season, but with the pace of the second half and all the pre-silo backstory out of the way, I’m hoping S4 goes pretty non-stop resolving things.

Yeah, I don’t want to keep getting into spoiler territory for those not caught up. I’m still curious to see what happened exactly to some of the personalities in the interim period to make them do the things they ended up doing.
The S4 trailer have a nice teaser about his that season will start now based on the events of the S3 finale, so I like that the session didn’t end in cliffhanger.

He appears for a second in the S4 trailer staring at news reports on a big monitor, so I can’t say he’s for sure alive at present, but I would say he likely is. The fact everyone was at the silos at exactly the right time seems to imply he knew what was going to happen, so I feel he’s due some retribution.

Seeing an elevator was maybe the biggest shock of the season 😂
I think HBO is still putting out a lot of prestige TV (The Pitt, DTF St Louis, Hacks, Lanterns, HOTD, AKotSK, etc), but Apple is definitely putting out hit after hit after hit (Widow’s Bay, Shrinking, Slow Horses, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, etc).
Both are going to win big this weekend at the Emmys.

Overall I’m definitely impressed with the content Apple has put out. I hesitate to say HBO has lost their magic, but I could see someone prefer Apple’s offerings over HBO’s, especially if we only look at recent and not the full backlog.
I just started watching but I the writing and world building seemed a little underwhelming to how good its rep was, if I didnt like the first few episodes should I keep watching or just not my taste?
It reminds me a bit of Fallout, but more if you were one of the NPCs in the vault discovering things the hard way rather than as the MC walking into the situation after all the damage was done with a lot of outside knowledge. It does a lot of simmering, big reveal, repeat.
Season 3 is half in the past, and that’s when things start to make sense on a big scale. I thought that made it fun overall. It feels a bit like a post apocalypse mystery rather than a typical action oriented story.
Im definitely looking for mystery, I suppose I just didnt like any character much yet but I’ll keep watching
I went back and read some episode recaps looking to tell you which episode it really kicks in to gear. That number I think may be a bit discouraging if I put it that way, but instead I’ll say that dang near everything that happens is a clue and the more you pay attention to those slow bits, the better the payoffs should be for you when things click into place.
Ep 4 isn’t at its full excitement level, but by then you should be eager to start learning what is going on with some of the storylines, or if not then it may be too slow of a show for you, but everything does pay off IMO.

Juliett the blonde women I assume, thats till where I had watched. I’ll definitely watch till the end of s01 see if I like it

Just finished the season finale for both Silo and For All Mankind.
Good sci-fi dramas
Removed by mod
I loved both of those.
I think I may have to check out Star City after the very end bit of For all Mankind to get the backstory on that even though most of the Russians tick me off.

I didn’t really watch it with much seriousness in the politics, mainly just as (mainly) 2 sides being mutually antagonistic. Everything in the show requires enough suspension of disbelief, and I thought there were moments of portraying all the factions as jerks in their own right.
I kinda liked how the tech bros gave us a faction we all could hate after a while. 😁
Currently rewatching Community as many times as it takes until I’m no longer in my depressed state. Recently finished The Mentalist which ended up being really good. Someone else mentioned Silo which I think is an extremely good slow thriller. Severance, also by Apple TV is just an interestingly odd show that hooks you pretty quick.
Enjoy eating fiber and watching The Mentalist.
Lanterns.
It is great!
I’m enjoying this one. I want to see more DC content with this format.
I did not understand the very ending of the recent episode.

Why crash another car.
I think Jordan is gonna go meet Antaan and crew at the diner and doesn’t want Stewart there.
Not sure why Jordan felt the need to trap Stewart in a crashed car to achieve that. Or even worse kill Stewart.
Go watch Mr Inbetween if you’re after some tight gunplay and a fun protagonist.
One of the best series, in the last 20 years.
Only breaks immersion a couple of times when the FX are obvious CG.
I need to try this again with subtitles. I had a hard time figuring out what anyone was saying, and the subtitles were not working at the time.
Try watching Love/Hate without subs
Watched episode 4 of Lanterns yesterday, i am really enjoying the show.
I have started my rewatch of The Addams Family (1964).
And I just watched the newest episode of Always Sunny. That may have been one of the best episodes in a while. I always love the episodes where everything that happens in the episode pisses off Dennis, especially when it is the gang confusing names and people.

Try Widows Peak, light horror with Stephen King vibes.
And try the Burroughs, kinda Stranger Things in an elder care center.
Star Trek Voyager. Hilariously I see I’m not alone in here.
The plan is to then move onto post-Voyager shows none of which I’ve watched at all (this is probably my third time through everything up to Voyager, though.) I started with TOS maybe three years ago? Taking my time.

New Ted Lasso is pretty mid. They should have left it.
really? im actually loving it
Currently rewatching MASH because I am in one of those periods where I’m having trouble starting a new show and I love the nostalgia hit of the theme song transporting me to 1995 and it’s Sunday afternoon and we just got home from church and Mom is pulling a roast out of the oven. Anyway, watch MASH. It’s good.
They mailed in the last 5 years of MASH.
Disagree. That’s some of the best of the series.
IDK why you’re getting so much hate for liking MASH. It’s my family’s go to comfort show.
We’ve all moved away from home, but we all still watch and quote it
I upset some Brits saying their food was bland and they mass downvoted my comments.
Enjoying & Recommend:
- The Expanse (started Season 4): this is going to be one of my top 3 sci-fi shows for sure. Thank you to whoever recommended it here
- Lanterns: I watch this soon after a new episode comes out
- North of North: It’s wholesome CBC content
- Futurama
Also watching:
- Orphan Black: I’m part way through season 2, but I haven’t watched a new episode in a few days. I don’t feel as motivated to watch now that the main mystery has been explained.
- Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Some of the recent themed episodes were forgettable
- It’s always sunny in philidelphia
- president curtis
Recently enjoyed:
- Sterling Point
- Batman Caped Crusader
- Ghosts (US)
- Shoresy
I haven’t watched the Expanse yet, but it’s on my list. Orphan Black is solid all the way through. Tatiana is a hell of an actress.
Watching Star Trek: The Original Series for the first time since I was 17. RIP to the Salt Vampire.
Watching Ted Lasso for the second time. Such a good show
