I’d say “I’m in” but you know I’d be anyway. Gregg Araki has serious potential to outdo the shirtless Pink Circle scene.

I think it’s been mostly fine. It loses a bunch of points for the Black Hood payoff being shitty. Hopefully it’s not really done yet.

Young Justice s2 is the best non-comic DC anything outside of Batman Begins and Batman TAS.

Finished S2 of 12 Monkeys the other day, tempted to purchase S3 since it won't be dropping on Netflix soon. I'm astounded barely anyone's talking about it, Syfy marketing what is you doing?

But: knowing artstyle, cast, and crew are back for Young Justice: Outsiders

I hope there's a way to access/purchase the series other than subscribing to whatever streaming platform abomination DC is pushing for it.

I am watching Andromeda aka Hercules the Legendary Journeys in space.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

This show feels like it's just a concept for a trek show that didn't get used because studios at the time were like yeah we ain't making sci-fi show like this anymore.

It handles the federation vs the anti federation crew Lost in Space/TNG that Voyager was going for, i'm not finished with it to give it one of my emote ratings yet lol.

Binging my way through the Expanse. I'm reached the 2nd season now. Had never seen it before but always heard good things. Yep its very good. The best sci-fi TV show I've seen in a long time.

I like how its slow. I like how it doesn't feel like its aimed at kids. I like the tone. I like the acting and the characters. Solid all around.

Decided to finish Battle Star Galatica. I know it's old but I only ever got to season 2. I'm really impressed by the quality so far (don't spoil it for me) and that I haven't heard of a successor. It either finishes badly, or there's something I'm not aware of. I have to admit, I don't watch much TV, so both are equally likely.

There was a successor show called Caprica but it was a completely different breed of a show from BSG and it was a prequel. It never caught on in the same way and only lasted a season.

Without spoiling BSG, I'll just say there is wide variance in opinions on the last two seasons but its certainly still worth watching.

I'm gonna catch flack for this, but I think that trailer looks like a really cheap movie. I guess it's OK by TV standards?

For some reason the "stealth mode" hype and the teaser were much more enticing. Now that I'm seeing the acting and hearing the dialog... doesn't really live up to the standards set for it I think.

Hopefully it's good.

toku · « **Reply #14599 on:** January 11, 2018, 10:26:21 PM »

Not just you. A lot of netflix shows have a really cheap production quality to them. The ones that shoot on location beat this for the most part but the Marvel Netflix shows in particular look cheap to me. It's like if you're not some respected auteur who has their own crew you just get cheap 00s tv lighting and canadian set dressing.

I love trash though so I'm sure it'll be alright. Hope it's violent.

Make up your own mind on the final few seasons. I personally love them and consider BSG a modern sci-fi classic.

omg forgot about the final season while waiting for it, cheers

still one of my favorite moments in recent sitcoms was early on in Episodes when LeBlanc is playing all sides right off the bat* and getting their show changed into one about a hockey coach, and at hearing the suggestion, Merc gets wide-eyed and yells out "WE CAN CALL IT PUCKS!" like he's just invented geometry

i love that the show was never afraid to be a dramedy and play stuff totally straight with long setups that may take a while to play out:

also Merc's replacement was amazing

also Carol is always perfect even here

About Half-way through Search Party Season 2. Show is a hoot. Happy they were able to stay strong on such a small premise. Show is basically what would happen if assholes tried to play Scooby Doo and the consequences.

And finished up the second season.

Good season. Good show. This season had a darker tone to it but still such good fun trashy moments.

It's so weird that one of the more darker and cynical pieces of television work airs on TBS.

Probably the most under-rated show on television going. Nobody I know in real life has ever heard of this show. And I mean NOBODY.

Just fired up rewatch of True Detective S1 and the initial scene with Cohle firing up his cig and the detectives react to it like some bygone habit and yet one slides a mug as an ash tray Cohles way in acceptance. Five minutes in and it played to a sense of coolness and subtlety S2 couldn't even achieve in its entire arch.

I've also been keeping an eye on Fukunagas vision. Its concise when it needs to be, you are telling an hours long story, but spurts of beauty, of specific detail, just like the pizza mans writing. Its a cautionary tale, please don't fuck with the man that can physically envision the story you're telling. This is a medium that requires a team effort.

Young Justice s2 is the best non-comic DC anything outside of Batman Begins and Batman TAS.

Watched the first three episodes of s1, and am really enjoying its tone. Also, it appears to be serial, which appeals to the nerd in me. I really, really like the character designs, visually. Aqualad is particularly neat cool. Not sure which version of Batman they're using, but his getup is perfect. Miss Martian copping Robin's look as a genderswitch made me feel funny in my bathing suit area.

Shit, sorry, never bothered to look — Hulu.co.jp /does/ appear to have unpaid content. But still requires a payment source to sign up. I guess if I sign up and use up my two weeks of unpaid, I can still watch some stuff? It's entirely unclear in Japanese.
