Without giving any plot lines or spoilers, I was mostly disappointed with the length of it. (39min)
I would have thought for a pilot that they'd do something longer or almost movie length.
Was it good though??Quote:

Ending leaves you scratching your head.
There's been a lot of anticipation about this but as I said, 34 minutes is too stingy.
Just watched Ep2.Quote:

It has a steady pace about it that's not like anything from the SW universe we've seen before.
Some familiar creatures in Ep2 that shows them in a different light. There's a scene with them that will remind teenagers of the 80s who played 'Crazy climber'.
just came back here to encourage anyone to get into The Watchmen again.
last night was probably the most amazingly original hour of television ive seen in ages.
simply amazing. you gotta start at ep.1 and its weird. real weird. but wow, its something special.
add Silicon Valley to the list of shows that def stuck the landing.
finale last night. admittedly the last 2 seasons got very 'entouragee' and not in a good way.
but the dismount was really clever and tied it back to the joke they were pushing in season 1.
it was very well done.
with this done and watchmen ending next week i need something new.
yeah am hearing fantastic reviews of ep6, definitely on my "to watch" listQuote:

Directed by Michael Bay, so plenty of explosions but very little actual nudity and stuff.
I think having Ryan Reynolds in it saved it tbhQuote:

Movie Thread
Starting watching The Man in the High Castle... not sure yet, although does have 4 seasons...
The Grand Tour - Seamen wasnt to bad...
Jack Ryan Season 2 - in some ways better then season 1, but a little bit predictable. Hope for something new here for Season 3
Have you had a go at watching "The Boys". Probably the most messed up, yet riveting show I have ever watched. A massively different take on the super hero genre.Quote:

Really enjoying it so far, visually A+ and the storylines for each episode have been very well done. Initially I thought it was going to be hard to develop a character who's face you can never see but they are doing it well through his actions rather than demeanor.
Some of the supporting actors are actually stealing the show in their episodes which makes it quite quirky too.
I'm watching 21 Jump Street on Popcornflix. About 4 shows into series 1.
I loved the show first time around and still like it - but damn the music and the clothing is way worse than I remember.
Nobody dressed that way in the 80's everyday and the music / fx are about as divorced from the action / storylines as one could ever imagine.
Acting wise Frederick Forest and Johnny Depp made this show both being genuine stars with bags of talent. Without those two to get it rolling I doubt it would have made it to a 2nd series.
I am watching it too.Quote:

I loved those first couple of episodes of Mandalorian a lot, but then it had two evidently filler episodes in a row, the second of which I honestly struggled thru and still don't appreciate it (the bounty hunt in the desert one). The recent ep though, as much as it was filler and character intro/development, I liked again.
Am really looking forward to how they wrap all this up, but can't help but fear it's going to be like GoT where they spend too much time filling and not enough time executing.
does The Mandalorian get any better?
i fell asleep during Ep.1 i was bored shitless.
It is Star Wars. It is a modern space take on a Western. Take it or leave it.Quote:

Your vibe in this particular thread is not edgy anymore, it's just repetitive and feels hollow now. Stick to movies, baiting the membah and circlejerking with porksey.

Even on Apple TV resuming from where you left off can be tedious. I watched first 2 seasons of the expanse on Netflix and then went straight to season 3 on Amazon. It keeps trying to send me back to the latest season rather than continuing where I left off.Quote:

Man City and Tottenham have done it. Spuds one is for this season, so they get the Covid stuff in theirs. Which is more interesting than any of their games at least.Quote:

I'll move this here Stanny.
Firstly, I got the years wrong. The writers strike was through season 7, and that was the one that was great until about episode 11, after that the show finished off poorly as they had none of their regular writers.
Season 8 was only done to give a proper send off for characters leaving the show, Zach Braff was one of a couple that had other projects in the works. Season 8 was the end of Scrubs and most sitcoms have terrible final seasons.
ABC wanted to reinvent the show as something new which is why they tried Season 9 and turned it into a teaching hospital. They should have changed the name and made it clear that it was a spin off. They could have gotten an extra season or two out of it.
They tried to change the name for season 9 wernt allowed I heard. I also felt that JD and Elliot had been done to death and didn't work then bam it workedQuote:

**** I love The Wire.
I got stuck on Season 1 of The Wire.
The first 3 or 4 episodes are slow as ****. I almost bailed... but then it's pure gold.
Speaking of Scrubs. The actors of JD and Turk have a new podcast where they talk about a episode of Scrubs each week
Twice a week now, it's very popular.Quote:

Loved Arrow and Flash but couldnt get into the other ones which made it hard when they kept crossing over.Quote:

Yep - Masters of the Air. They were in pre-production but Id say thats ground to a halt like everything else. Going to be an Apple+ exclusive title as well which means Ill have to subscribe to another bloody streaming service.Quote:
