End of an Era:
Quote
The upcoming season of “The Big Bang Theory” will be the last for the Warner Bros.-produced CBS comedy.

In a joint statement, Warner Bros. Television, CBS and Chuck Lorre Productions said, “We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past twelve seasons. We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show’s success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close.
Quote
In a statement Wednesday, Kahl said, “‘The Big Bang Theory’ has been the defining comedy of its generation. All of us at the Network take exceptional pride in this series that uniquely combines creative genius, commercial ratings success, cultural influence and characters who became so popular, they are easily known by just one name. We’re incredibly grateful for our partnership with Warner Bros., Chuck Lorre Productions and a brilliant cast and crew that has made such a ‘big bang’ and lasting legacy on the television landscape.”

It drug out for an hour what was made obvious at the end of the previous episode. It’s saving grace is that it’s Sissy Spacek’s big episode. That’s probably enough for most people, but even her best effort in lifting the shoddy material barely kept me from falling asleep. I may have had a martini and an ativan or two, though.

In good news: boner academy.

Rye and I recently decided to start The Sinner, and its really good. We finished season 1 in a couple of days and am pretty eager to get started on the second.

Really impressive what they were able to accomplish in just 8 episodes. At points its hard to watch because its just so tragic and there are so many "WHAT THE FUCK" moments.

Biel and Pullman do great jobs as their characters.

I’m really excited to see where it goes. It also felt like the show was getting better and better as it went on. For me, I also liked how Early on, I wasn’t sure what the balance of comedy to drama would be given the pedigree of the talent involved. It kept me wondering where/how far the show would go in certain directions.

I think it should lean more into the absurdist comedy element or else it will be too similar to Dexter. Not that it wasn't hilarious already.

Finished The Alienist, and give it one turn-of-the-century thumbs up. Dakota Fanning finally allowed to act in the last episode, absolutely kills it. I feel like Daniel Bruhl is doing a bit of a caricature but still compelling. Luke Evans gets a chance to stretch as well; usually I feel he mainly has to stand around and look handsome. SO HANDSOME.

I feel the same way, and I’m kinda getting suspicious about it. I love how great the show looks, but I’m wondering if they’re padding short episodes with the show’s well known gorgeous indulgent shots.

I don't mind the visuals (though that Nacho pov, you know when... Wasn't great), those sequences like the opening are always great.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
I was a bit peeved the sequence they used in the trailer to suggest Mike and Jimmy would do something together was a bait and switch however.
[close]

But yeah there's only so much they can do, I guess. I didn't watch Breaking Bad but I have a rough idea of who is there and where they at. Nacho, Kim and Howard are the only real moving parts there.

Started watching S2 of the Expanse. I like it and the characters are really fleshed out now. It's just a tad weird to have a four man Martian platoon be framed as having that much weight (though I understand they're a convenient shortcut for Mars politics). I was a bit afraid at the super conspiracy angle but I feel they give it high enough stakes to justify its existence.

Honestly I thought it was only a cabal of greedy capitalists and some super weapon and I would have had trouble to swallow that.

The only thing I disliked was the romance subplot. Seemed unimportant in the long run. I just like how they’re slowly turning Holden into a crooked detective.

I think it did well to establish and flesh out Holden's own psyche (possible sociopath? autistic spectrum?) without weighing down the main plot, but it served the main plot by the end.

Finished S2 of the Expanse. I went back to being lukewarm about the conspiracy stuff, not for any fault of the plot itself (it was fun to see the bad guy ruthlessly turning tables on everyone, even) but because I have a general dislike for it and it's always jarring when mixed with decent political intrigue, convenient to the point of laziness.

Quote
The Martian Army Chaplain stuff was weak, like having a demo reel of the super illegal super soldier on his mobile phone ? That cabal can mobilize an high tech ship, charter military vessels, and wreck a major source of food just for the sake of a test, but somehow random Lieutenant guy is privy to the most sensitive details ?

Otherwise uneven effects but not too distracting, uneven acting (especially the bit parts), cool new characters, excellent place to the narrative even if there's diggling bits

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Martian Marine squad part didn't mesh well with the rest. Felt way too long for just introducing one character, perhaps. The romance bit came off a bit bizarre because of the format, they start being estranged the minute they finally become an item. I suppose the honeymoon bit is to be inferred.

That's right, Nate. I lost all my irl friends a couple of years ago when I became a mild alcoholic, dropped out of college, lost my job, my girlfriend, and then almost died in a drunk driving accident. Then I moved back in with my folks and spent the next six months trying to manage my severely mentally ill father and barely left the house. Then he got worse and I moved to a city where I had no friends and got a dead end job where I can't make any friends because everyone is too old, too young, or the kind of washed out loser that doesn't make friends with anyone. So yeah, I haven't had a single friend in about two years, not because I can't, but because my life is like being duct-taped face first into a dark corner of a room with cobwebs. You feel good rubbing it in?
