- Comment on ‘MobLand’ Emmys Shakeup: Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan Both Submitted for Lead Drama Actor, Helen Mirren Goes for Supporting 1 week ago:
Can see that, it’s hardcore, and Tom Hardy is Tom Hardying the shit out of it.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 1 week ago:
Yeah, the pace is stupid, the problem is it’s 22 minute shows, and I think they’re trying to finish in less than 10 episodes.
For 22m shows they should do 18-20 er season, but the format generally sucks for anything except comedy.
But I was optimistic because the short length also means it doesn’t have to be burdened by all the overwhelming pretense of the heavier stuff, it can be chill about it.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 1 week ago:
I’m making a point that we need more casual, cheap stuff like this to fill in viewing hours, with a few prestige shows for the high end.
Twot was trying to be prestige and ended up a complete disaster, while starving other good shows of that cash.

Don’t Trust Him!!!
He made Martin Scorsese cry, he took his picture, and he railed him raw, he railed Marty raw!

Murderbot
It’s not … A great show?
But it’s fucking cheap (small cast, limited sets so far), and it’s trying to be charming.
It’s the streaming equivalent of comfort food.
We need more content like this to keep streams full, then we have a few prestige shows like andor or whatever.
What we have now is crap writing burning prestige money (twot/LOTR-trop) and leaving us with unwatchable crap.

She said she was inspired by 90s pop-funk smash Pump Up the Jam by Technotronic.

God that hit so incredibly hard.
Made season 2 feel so much longer than it was.
- Comment on ‘Andor’ Star Elizabeth Dulau Talks Kleya’s Necessary Choice and Being a Key Domino in Star Wars Lore 2 weeks ago:
Luthen and kleya did a lot of dark, unpopular things and worked with people like saw.
They were dropped out of political expediency, because that’s what you do, they were convenient to scapegoat for anything the rebellion wanted to distance itself from.
- Comment on What new TV series are you most looking at with interest for the second half of the year? 2 weeks ago:
S2 andor is just perfection.
- Comment on What are some of the worst acted main or supporting characters in a TV series you've watched? 2 weeks ago:
Yo, you telling me this dude gets off on little girls with pigtails?
Yeah, Ice… he’s a pedophile. You work in the sex crimes division. You’re gonna have to get used to that.
- Comment on Anyone else watched Day of the Jackal? 2 weeks ago:
Solid, not amazing, honestly the only thing you’ll remember is Eddie Redmayne.
They screwed up the whole plot of the ‘protagonist’ (not Redmayne) and her acting was terrible.
Her boss, The High Evolutionary, is good, but the writing isn’t great there either.
Really overpowered actors in a lot of roles (Charles fucking dance), given way too little decent plot.
The settings are incredible though, nailed a lot of cimenatography.
- Comment on ‘Grimsburg’, ‘Krapopolis’ & ‘Universal Basic Guys’ Renewed At Fox 3 weeks ago:
Krapolis isn’t that bad.
Hannah waddington is fun, David ayode is great and Matt berry is there too.
The scripts are all over the place, but there are decent ones that let the actors show off.
- Comment on Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year 3 weeks ago:
You think that’s bad, wait for the giraffes.
- Comment on Anyone watched Dune Prophecy? 3 weeks ago:
Slightly better, but not significantly, and it dips in parts.
Honestly give it a miss, if s2 is much better then consider going back.
- Comment on First Look: 'Mare of Easttown’ Creator Heads Back to Pennsylvania for Task 3 weeks ago:
It has pretty good direction.
That’s what made it not unwatchable.
- Comment on If a TV series you loved from the 90s, 00s or even early 10s instead came out today - how different do you imagine it would be? How would the writing be different? Who would be casted instead? 3 weeks ago:
Babylon 5.
No idea, it created so much of the foundation for modern scifi, particularly the emphasis on in-depth plot arcs over multiple seasons.
B5 with bsg style vfx has always been the dream.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 4 weeks ago:
It absolutely works like that.
Snowpiercer was worse.
You are obsessed with the American version of seasons, let it be more flexible, like the European version.
Or the walking dead variants, the characters aren’t in all of them, it’s like that, make it 2 series, wool with what’s her face, and the silo with the others.
- Comment on Are there any books, video games, comics or movies you think would work if adapted into a TV series? 4 weeks ago:
I could not even get 50 pages in, i rarely have that much trouble but it felt like it was trying to discourage me from reading.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 4 weeks ago:
And?
They had other characters there, it built tension, but finally, HAVE SEASONS WITH LESS OF A BREAK!!!
Season 2 could have been cheaper without Reverend mother Juliet, it could have been a half season with all these supporting characters we otherwise don’t care about, and the 4 episodes could have ended with a teaser that she was alive.
They’re throwing so much bullshit at the wall while trying to make it ‘prestige’, that it takes years and we stop caring about the characters and plot.
Slow horses is the opposite of this, short, cheap seasons, but more frequent so you enjoy the plot progression.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 4 weeks ago:
I read the books, I don’t think it was quite this unfilmable.
- Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes 4 weeks ago:
I mean, ok.
It was achingly slow, and not in a ‘slow burn’ kind of way, but in a 'we need to drag this shit out because we don’t have anything left after the questions are answered kind of way.

Fair, smart, and I think it worked.
By the time the scene was over I was basically ‘yeah fine, that’s bail now’.
- Comment on CBS Sets Record With 17th Straight Season Victory in Total Viewers 4 weeks ago:
This isn’t surprising, they have a near monopoly on retirees who can’t figure out streaming.
- Comment on 'Andor' creator explains recasting major 'Star Wars' character with Benjamin Bratt 4 weeks ago:
Unless Benjamin Bratt ate another Benjamin Bratt I think it will still be noticeable.
- Comment on 'Andor' creator explains recasting major 'Star Wars' character with Benjamin Bratt 4 weeks ago:
I like Ben Bratt, but he’s half the size.
Especially since this isn’t that much after kenobi.
Haven’t gotten past 2e4 though, curious how it turned out.

Yes, I just wish she had a few minutes of ‘doing stuff’ that arc, it was so much drama with her as the object.

The episode in Vesuvius, huh?
