- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 7 hours ago:
I’m playing it right now and enjoying it. Not sure what the person you replied to disliked.
- Comment on ‘Doctor Who’ Ratings Dive, Supercharging Uncertainty About Future Of Sci-Fi Series 1 day ago:
No, they’ve actually been doing The Gods of Chaos (Surekh, The Toymaker, and some new ones) along with The Rani.
- Comment on Neil Druckmann Says a Cure Would Have Worked in 'The Last of Us' 3 days ago:
It was pretty obvious that was the weight of the choice: Sacrifice one person you know and care for personally to potentially save millions you’ve never met. It doesn’t hold much weight if it wasn’t going to work anyway.
- Comment on The Last of Us will most likely last 4 seasons 6 days ago:
I take it you didn’t read the article?
The showrunners have said that they won’t go beyond the source material, so once they’ve told the story of The Last of Us Part II video game, that’s it.
- Comment on Are there any plot arcs, or missed opportunities from any TV series that were abandoned that you think should've been picked up or continued? 6 days ago:
Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles: Oh c’mon, gonna cliffhanger me right after John and Sarah time jump into a post apocalyptic wasteland?
The Acolyte: I’d have loved to get Qimir’s backstory and find out what’s up with the Darth Plegius tease.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 week ago:
There were multiple possible endings for both Geralt and Ciri, including endings where Ciri survives.
- Comment on Streaming Ad Tiers Catch Fire, Make Up Nearly Half Of U.S. Subscriptions For SVODs That Offer Them, Study Says 1 week ago:
I grew up hearing, “The initial selling point of cable was that it was ad-free, then they started adding ads.”
But the reality now is that they’re offering ads for a couple bucks cheaper, and all my idiot neighbors are foaming at the bit to subscribe, so in a few years there won’t be a market for ad-free anymore.
- Comment on Is andor still worth watching if I've never seen anything else Star Wars? 1 week ago:
Yes.
The very basics of the universe is that there was a republic that lasted thousands of years, but then was toppled and a totalitarian regime was instituted (The Empire.) After 20 years, a group of rebels toppled The Empire and made a new republic.
Andor takes place during the 20 years of the empire, focusing on the formation of the rebellion. It is significantly lower fantasy than most of Star Wars, which features characters who can channel mystical powers (The Force.) The Force is almost completely absent from Andor.
- Comment on Max Is Changing Its Name to (Get This!) HBO Max 1 week ago:
Go was the one connected to a cable subscription. Now was the cable-free subscription.
- Comment on Review: ‘Conan O’Brien Must Go’ Season 2: I Came for the Laughs and Stayed for the Existential Tree-Kissing 1 week ago:
Haven’t watched it yet, but I’m skeptical of any travel show that doesn’t star Karl Pilkington.
- Comment on Official Poster for ‘Wicked: For Good’ 1 week ago:
What a terrible title.
- Comment on Why the Laugh Track Won’t Die 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. People have levied the same complaints about musicals, yet we don’t see videos floating around of musicals without music. Both are genres that aren’t trying to be entirely realistic.
I’m personally kind of over laugh track shows simply because they feel performative. I’d rather watch a comedy that has a plot than watch comedy built like stand-up: with a setup, punchline, and then pause for audience response. It’s why so many of them have catchphrases like “Did I do that?” “Bazinga!” and “We were on a break!” It’s fine if others enjoy different setups for the same joke, but I’d personally rather be more immersed in the show than constantly be reminded I’m supposed to laugh.
- Comment on Peacemaker: Season 2 | Official Teaser | August 21 | Max 2 weeks ago:
I hope we get a GI Robot cameo.
- Comment on What's the most memorable guest performance in a TV series that you've watched? 2 weeks ago:
Finally got around to watching Stargate SG-1, so Tobin Bell. Not sure if it’s in the true spirit of the OP as it was before Saw made him famous, but he absolutely stood out from the rest.
- Comment on Charlie Cox Calls Fan-Favorite Marvel Crossover His Least Favorite ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Episode: ‘I Wasn’t Into It’ 3 weeks ago:
The episode is With Interest, the bank heist episode.
“I said, ‘I don’t believe in a bank heist in 2025,’” Cox recalled. “I really pushed back on the episode, and yet I hear from so many people that they love that episode. So, it just goes to show you just don’t know. It’s so subjective. Everyone’s taste is different.”
- Comment on Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (2025) Official Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Finally they get the title right!
- Comment on ‘Royal Pains’ Reboot Starring Mark Feuerstein In Works At NBC 4 weeks ago:
Out of the Bluesky shows, Royal Pains actually had the most satisfactory ending (along with Burn Notice.)
- Comment on What show are you surprise managed to finish, or get many seasons out of it at least, and avoid cancellation? 4 weeks ago:
Smallvile. How the hell did it get 10 seasons?
- Comment on Pedro Pascal Explains Why ‘The Last of Us’ Role Puts Him In “Unhealthy Mindset” 1 month ago:
It’s hard for me to separate what the characters are going through and how it makes me feel
Saved you a click.
- Comment on ‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Will Take Place On A Holiday Weekend, Producer Reveals 1 month ago:
I’m expecting another mass casualty event when a fireworks show goes horribly wrong.
- Comment on What are some of your unpopular opinions, hot takes about shows, streamers, the wider industry etc? 1 month ago:
It gets easier around Season 2, as the story starts to coalesce around a handful of key characters.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
I’m on 12, and will be upgrading to 13 when Trixie hits stable.
- Comment on Was a TV show you like ever ruined by the addition of a particular character to the point that you had to quit, or nearly quit? 2 months ago:
I’m going to disagree with Dawn. I feel like she was the one addition that really worked: the ballsy gaslighting that turned out to be a retcon and her being central to the plot actually sold her for me.
Plus I grew up on Pete and Pete so I was already a Michelle Trachtenberg fan.
- Comment on ‘Friday the 13th’ Prequel Series ‘Crystal Lake’ Casts Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees 2 months ago:
She’ll make an excellent Pamela Vorhees.
- Comment on Was a TV show you like ever ruined by the addition of a particular character to the point that you had to quit, or nearly quit? 2 months ago:
Connor on Angel. His arc was pretty damn painful to sit though, and lasted nearly two seasons.
- Comment on Was a TV show you like ever ruined by the addition of a particular character to the point that you had to quit, or nearly quit? 2 months ago:
The only good scene with her was Scully teaching her to run in heels.
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 2 months ago:
While at one point GTA was my favorite series and I was absolutely hyped for GTA V, I’m not for this one. I kind of feel like I’m getting a little old for GTA.
Maybe I’ll change my mind after it releases and there’s a good chance I’ll play it anyway, but right now… meh.
- Comment on Jewel Staite Joins Cast Of ‘Resident Alien’ For Season 4 2 months ago:
And Space Cases. She was the only decent actor on that show, and that’s counting the adults as well.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 months ago:
Saw X. A lot of people say it’s their favorite after the original, but I’m not sure I agree. The opening trap that made the poster being a dream sequence felt off, and the final act (where Saw films are usually strongest) felt underwhelming. Also, Amanda was quite visibly older despite this being a prequel to a 20 year old movie, which I found distracting.
It’s still a good 7/10 for having some of the more brutal and memorable traps in the series.
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 2 months ago:
No, they have an atypical phenotype for their chromosome.
