Cobra Kai

yfw Daniel is the Chad and Johnny is the loser.

This show just backs up the conspiracy theories out there that Daniel was the Villain all along.

I've purposely avoided this show because at first glance, it seems like nostalgia dreck but enough people I respect actually seem to be saying nice things, that I'm going to have to give it a shot. I'm still skeptical though.

It''s a total love letter to the originals it really shouldn"t be as good as it is but it works.

This show will have social studies warriors legit shook though.

I watched the first two episodes of it. It's fine. It's okay. Its not as good as I had been led to believe maybe but I certainly watch worse shows so I'm not gonna bitch about it. It's made for a super specific niche of people who grew up with the original movie and that makes sense. I'll eventually get around to finishing up the season.

I'd compare it to the Army of Darkness show. (whatever the Evil Dead show was called. I forgot.)

Also, fuck Westworld, Barry is the HBO show to be watching right now. Tonight it ascended from “great” to “almost must see.”

I need to write a full on Westworld rant. That was my favorite movie as a kid. When Jurassic Park came out, I was like 13 and I was a poindexter bitch talking about how Crichton plagiarized his own movie. Nolans were a terrible pick to do decent sci-fi.

TVC i'm not gay but i'll plug your mouth with my dick if I have to.

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.

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.

Quote from: Assimilate on May 07, 2018, 12:16:29 AM

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.

watched the first ep of the alienist mostly out of curiosity and the cast. seems interesting and i'm blown away by the production and how good it all looks
watch it to the end, its very much worth it

yeah i got completely hooked and binged the whole thing. loved it overall and like it doesn't leave itself obviously open to a second season. ofc, now i want mindhunters s2 all the more!

I doubt it will be as good as seasons 1-3. Few things are. But I don't think better than Season 4 is unreasonable after getting feedback on the parts of Season 4 that people didn't like.

Season 4's biggest problem was not having all the cast together at the same time, which isn't going to be an issue with season 5. Just based on that alone, I think it's going to be just fine.

Westworld

I am getting confused with Dolores' character at this point. You're lead to believe she develops a self-awareness and maybe an intelligent conscience, but then she goes on a rampage. Was she was written to do so? Is that her self-awareness or meddling? Then she sees daddy again and the past narrative all matters. The same thing is happening with Maeve, but she appears more clear cut in her choice making.

If some of these hosts are supposed to becoming a lifeform, most of them are not really getting to that point. That act of becoming seems to reside on Dolores, but she's not convincing me of that feat. Maeve got increased intelligence and free will. She decides to leave, then realizes she's still connected to that child host and goes back. Dolores is all over the place in comparison to that.

Ep 3 also had no William, which only weakens the episode. I didn't have a problem with India World. It still represents a part of human existence forbidden in the modern world. I don't think it's good for the story to add yet another character. I forgot entirely about Daddy Abernathy before this episode.

And, yes, episode 7 is very good.

Should get some sort of nod. The show works because of the premise and the character of Barry.

Yeah, Bill Hader is great in it. Henry Winkler, too, but he’s fantastic in everything.

etiolate · « **Reply #15198 on:** May 08, 2018, 01:53:14 AM »

Stephen Root is good as well. Normally he's stuck with comedic foil roles, but he's rather dark in this.

You got to appreciate the hate/love relationship the series has with acting.

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #15199 on:** May 08, 2018, 03:45:14 AM »

When they cut to Barry's scene partner doing Gary Oldman from True Romance I lost it. Show is really good, I think the scenes with Henry Winkler hitting on the detective are my favorite so far. I hope it gets another season too, though the way it's going so far it makes me wonder where they would go with it.

It's hard to tell the exact purpose of the massacre. Maybe to kill some of the soldiers so they can be replaced with replicants? Or slow them down to reach the "weapon" they talked about last ep? Maybe she just wanted to kill some of the hosts, as Dolores seems to see hosts who have been programmed to be 'villains' as not worth helping escape the park. Even though she and her posse are aware they live in a fake reality, they still see the memories they have before awakening as legitimate, and therefore they see the villains as actual villains.

The massacre was also the first example of the self-aware hosts outperformimg the human race tactically. That battle was like their call to independance, because while the massacre at Ford's party was arranged by Ford, this battle was a conscious choice by Dolores.

Stro · « **Reply #15206 on:** May 08, 2018, 03:30:38 PM »

But is it really since this is still Ford's storyline and then it's going to turn out that some other shit you think is real is also scripted and then a big twist of OH SHIT THIS PERSON IS A ROBOT or OH SHIT THIS PERSON ISN'T A ROBOT and then there will be 14 months of nerd monologues to match the ones in the show and by season 3 no one will remember a single plot point from seasons 1 and 2 and fuck this show

Yknow, the India world reveal on Westworld is lame as fuck. Presumably this is taking place decades in the future, right? What media has ever romanticized that era and setting to the point where a century and a half later well-to-do 30 somethings would pick that over getting to cut peoples heads off with swords or have shootouts with bad guys?

Chapter 14

I am critical of how much audience patience this show wastes on visual riffs that do not serve any other part of the show. This episode looked like one of those artsy wankeries, but it actually ties it all together as a character piece reflecting David's grief and his powers.

Interesting about the laptop. It was a product of Barry's awkwardness and fantasy. When I saw that episode, I thought the toxic masculinity line was meant to be a joke. Barry has no masculinity, as the show makes a point of how he can't stand up to anyone and is basically a pet. Now I'm wondering if that line was supposed to be taken seriously.

I liked them pointing out that Sally’s response to the agent’s proposition came from the women that work on the show. If I were writing that scene, I wouldn’t have thought of having her apologize, but in execution on the show, it’s so perfect.
