Billions is pretty meh this season. Last episode had a scene where the investment firm was watching Elon Musk test out his latest space launch; the rocket gets challengered with him in it so everyone in the firm celebrates because they've been shorting his companies. Afterwards, the head of the investment firm is sad because they believed in Elon Musk's vision so they decide to buy a 300k watch to remember him by.

So regarding Lost in Space. Has anyone watched Terra Nova? It keeps reminding me of it more and more. The boring family drama, the slooooooooooooow moving main story, the asshole character in the group that does everything because she's bad. I expected more from Parker Posey's character btw, she's just annoying and obnoxious in this. I keep watching because I want to learn more about the robot but this isn't a good show. I'm at the 6th episode now and it's boring me to death.

Started this, and I'm annoyed because it's so similar to The 100. Not much but yet a lot.. I had to stop watching The 100 because it got boring as fuck, and I think this TV show will do just the same. Sci-Fi is one of my favorite genre, but I realize I prefer it as movies because then the beauty of it won't get lost in repetitiveness and boredom.

‘Lost in Space’ Team Teases that a Second Season Would Be ‘Wild’ and Avoid The Bad Movie Remake’s Biggest Problem

Not greenlit yet, but can these fucks at least wait a couple of months and then address the complaints people have, I could be teased back but not if it's just a continuation of the tone of season snore.

Watching 3rd season of Expanse and it's maintaining quality so far. The zero gravity scene with the botanist and Amos was pretty good.

Watched first two episodes of season 2 of Legion and the pace is extremely slow right now. It feels like an excuse for the visual design set pieces rather than a show with direction right now. Needs a kick in the plot.

I have given up on Deep Space 9 rewatch. It still has all the same problems. Kira sucks. Sisko has everyone walk over him. Acting is mostly awful. Only Quark saves episodes. The directing gets better in season 2 but it can't get past the fact that you actively hate Kira and most of the Bajoran shit.

I watched the first 2 episodes of the new walking dead season. I don't think I can watch anymore. It was 2 hours of people shooting at each other and not dying because they'd taped corrugated iron to their cars.

Lost in Space doesn't have sexy bathing or lesbian stuff like The 100 either. In one episode of Lost in Space this girl invites this guy she likes to swim in a waterfall, and you think "bikini scene incoming", but then they get there and the waterfall is dried up and they don't end up taking their clothes off. In fact that scene might be a perfect metaphor for how I felt about the show.

That scene where Valentina catches on fire in The Sopranos. Its pitch perfect. Whoever wrote the scene nailed the almost sense of insanity you feel from having to hear your SO shrieking in a fight just deep upnyour ass, the momentary catharsis of her catching on fire as a juvinile sense of the universe shutting them down, then feeling like a total piece of shit for laughing like a sociopath at this woman getting horribly burned.

I liked the show well enough but it never honestly was as good as I hoped it would be or had the potential to be. It was fun to have an actual real gory horror style show on TV when the rest of the genre is filled with Supernatural or worse lite style shows.

I REALLY LIKE IT. It's pulpy and unrealistic, and there is NO REASON the protagonists and Big Bads shouldn't just kill each other several times in the first four episodes, so I assume their world is running under RDL's RPG Drama System… Why kill your opponent when you can get them to cede drama points your way?

I see there are four seasons available to me. When does it fall apart?

First 3 are GREAT, really good shit.

Fourth is bad to forgettable to bad again. Still super well shot and directed but basically none of the story works. Its shorter and I think they change location where they shot it as well which makes me think it was some sort of "yeah you guys are done and everyone thought you were done but theres some money still left and we need content so give us 6 eps thanks." Elzhi Dushku is in it....yeah.

Basically treat it like some weird non-canon one shot story/sequel by a new team or something

Read all the Expanse books prior to S3 starting and it's actually increased my enjoyment of the show. Dramatization of moments in the plot aside, I feel like a lot of the characterizations of protagonists and antagonists in the adaptation increase the facets of the different sides and factions (in particular, Mao and Naomi prior to book 5). Also can't help but feel that the lighting, set design and general cinematography is much better thus far in S3. Cannot wait for all the shit going down at the end of this season, btw

Yeah, the season finale was a wet fart since it was trying to copy the comic scene but did it badly (since it didn't set up Rick at all). Carl's death is basically pointless.

Fear's is even worse: The actor wanted off the show, but they wrote a death so badly that I'm glad I haven't watched that since like season 2.

I watched the first ep of Westwhirl season 2 and I don't think it's going to keep me along this year. The story telling device worked in the first season because most people didn't really realize it was a device at all until near the end and a big twist. Starting season 2 with the same device but you know what it is felt more annoying than interesting, plus that ep was mostly pretty boring.

I watched the first ep of S2 and realized I remember nothing from the first season aside from the big moments and I have no idea what’s going on. I’m going to have to either rewatch season 1 or drop this. And it’s not being so easy to motivate myself to rewatch s1. The show is so dense and cold that a rewatch sounds tiresome.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #15029 on:** April 30, 2018, 08:31:26 AM »

Watched two things recently.

First Season of Westworld and 4th season of 90 day Fiance

As far as Westworld. I read no reviews and no impressions which is my usual modus operandi nowadays so I have no clue if its hip to hate on the show or love it. I thought it was an entertaining first season. It basically felt like a mix of Assassin's Creed, GroundHog day, The Matrix, and Lost all thrown into a blender. Anthony Hopkins easily kills it every scene he is in but nearly every one is good in it. It's not quite as smart as it thinks it is, and has a tendency to lean into the sex and violence elements too much just to be flashy but overall I liked it. I'll give Season 2 a watch. As with most shows nowadays, it feels like it will be hard to stretch this premise over many seasons but in the here and now I thought the first season was fine.

On to 90 Day Fiance. I don't watch reality TV. Any of it. I fully admit I'm a snob on that account and secretly lift my nose at people who do. A friend wanted to watch this, so I went along for the ride. It was just as trashy, and bullshit as all reality TV but I admit I got hooked on this particular season to see it fully through. There is an inescapable element to this show (and probably all reality tv) in that no matter how much of a fuck up you are, you can escape for 30 minutes and feel better about yourself and your decision making compared to the people on this show. The stars were a couple named Anfisa and Jorge and they are perfect material for this stuff. So perfect, I have a feeling they are fake and this is publicity stuff phoniness but I won't bother to pull that particular loose thread. It was a fun watch and while I doubt I'll ever watch anymore of the show, I would be lying if I said I hadn't enjoyed it, and spent an obscene amount of time yelling at the characters on TV as the show was on.

There’s a few pretty decent recaps on YouTube for season 1 that hit all the relevant points.

Not enough fucking jokes for you? And all the 'twists' in the first season were pretty obvious. Shocking such a Kubrick scholar as yourself couldn't pick up on them early.

It's still a decent show, and better than most of the garbage out there.

Arrested Development update:

-Season 5 is coming "real soon"
-A remix of season 4 [to bring it in line with the structure of the first three seasons] is coming to Netflix on May 4

Watched the first 5 episodes of the remix.

It's an interesting experience. I've always had a soft spot for fan edits of things and how an edit can recontextualize things so that part of me is happy no matter what.

The best change immediately noticeable is the episode length. Season 4 definitely dragged as you watched the longer episodes. Extra length is more noticeable to comedy for me and especially Arrested Development which always had super fast pacing and editing. By reducing episode length and adding in more cutting between characters, it increases the momentum of the show which Season 4 definitely had an issue with.

It's less natural than how Season 4 felt as the transitions often feel less natural but the rhythm of the show feels more like the older seasons and that is appreciated.

The other most noticeable aspect is that certain jokes pay off much more quickly than in the old format. Not all of them but some of them definitely do. That's probably an individual appeal kind of thing but honestly I prefer the quicker payoff format. By the time some jokes were paid off in the original setup, I had honestly forgotten they were even setup. So getting to the punch line faster for me is something I prefer rather than holding it back for multiple episodes.

It still obviously ultimately has the same limiting flaws that Season 4 originally had, and introduces a few new ones as things are shuffled around but honestly overall I kind of prefer this edit to the original. The original was done for a reason, but I find myself less tired and smiling more as I watch this edit despite intellectually being able to understand the flaws behind it.

Finished s1 of Stranger Things, sooooo LTTP. I liked it a whole or bunch. It’s more derivative of Stephen King’s work than Spielberg’s, if measured in instances or screen time. The girl who played Eleven has some amazing talent. Her performance was the only one where I didn’t stop to analyze how the actor was making choices. Winona also knocked it out of the park.

Curious about s2, but I’ll be waiting a month to start it.

Ok, West World episode 3 of season 2 was god awful but i've never expected much since any good idea the Nolan family had was ripped from the Wachowskis. I'll stick through this season but i don't expect much.

Most of you still haven't given Babylon Berlin a shot, the best show released in the last 10 years probably but i'm not expecting you guys to since this place is a spinoff of GAF and it's not a stupid fucking Marvel show..... eh.

Re: Westworld.

Do you REALLY think there are enough wealthy people in the show’s world that would be interested in living the colonial India experience to support a hyperexpensive high effort robot theme park?

You’re lucky I didn’t believe this for a second once the voiceover hit. I’m going to slit your throat before even fucking your ass, you deceptive piece of fish shit.

I think they were somehow profiting off the data they collected. Probably even offset costs enough to allow for people of lesser wealth to get in too.

I suppose so. I recall during season 1, and I forget whether this was sourced from the show or the web sites/ARGs, it was revealed that it was 40k a day to attend. I’m not sure that data would be worth that much or allow them to let filthy poors in. Consider that it probably costs millions in labor to correct the damage done each day.
