Accurate.

Well if Dale agrees with that I'll assume it's a good take. He knows more about lazy writing than anyone.:yes::wave::shifty:

Oh-fuckin'-snap! :lol:

You're firing blanks, sir.

I've watched the three episodes of The Continental over the weekend.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the series. It doesn't really feel like a story that needed to be told, and doesn't particularly add anything new to the Wick Universe. If you want to kill 90 minutes, however, you could do worse than watch an episode. The show also does a good job of recreating the 1970s period, unlike say The Americans, which undermined itself whenever going out to exterior locations, where the foreground was the 1980s and everything in the background was 2010s.

Watching McMillions. Had no idea all the winners of Monopoly for like 10-15 years were in on a scam. Kinda weird remembering how hyped we all were for monopoly growing up and now finding out we had literally no chance of winning because of con artists fixing it.

Mad interesting stuff though.

Been watching through Futurama slowly the past year or so.... finally got up to the current new season that just came out.... Sadly, I can notice a difference in Fry and The Professor's voices... kind of "takes away from it" because their voices were so great and distinct.... I guess it will happen, what with Billy West getting 10 years older since last he did the voices.... though Zoidberg sounds the same...

Only two episodes into the new batch, so maybe I'm just imagining it and I will get used to it....

Would you rather have:

A) the same voice actor but slightly different because natural aging or whatever

B) AI infused voice to make it identical


Interesting question.

There is an option C which would be recast with another human doing an imitation of the voice.

Not saying I advocate for that choice, but just saying you don't have to go to AI right away....

Oh I know we don't "have to" - but that's going to be the shitty reality. You'll have people complain either way.... that the voice doesn't "sound right" or that "AI is taking jerbs".

I'm just waiting for the big gay sex pile in protest of AI to get going.

Watched the first two episodes of the new Frasier and have to say the new cast of characters seems terrible. Niles and Daphne's son is particularly cringeworthy.

Whole show is fucking cringeworthy.

Was good to hear and see Kelsey Grammar again.

I still enjoy watching the original series of Frasier. I see no need to watch a reboot.

Especially not with Rodney in it

Yeah I'd maybe throw on the reboot as background noise if it was easily accessible. I'm not paying for a new streaming service to watch it and can tell it's going to be shite.

OG Frasier is an all-time sitcom for me--still watch it. Cheers was the fuckin business too.

But Frasier started dwindling in quality the moment Niles and Daphne got together. It ran its course two decades ago. A fresh coat of paint was never going to help.

It's on tv here, for the record, I did not pay for the streaming service.

I only stream. No cable.

I only have cable because I get deep discount from company I work for.

The Fall of The House of Usher was good shit. Really good shit.

Starting Kaala Paani now.

Second season of “Our Flag Means Death” is really weird and dark, a lot less funny than the first season to the point it seems like an off-kilter drama written by a Rain Man type of guy. I don’t really like it anymore, the first season only had a couple of truly hilarious episodes and this season has had none so far. It may be time to cut my losses.

I like things with ships in them, be it sea or space. There’s something immensely intimidating and awesome about both to me but I try to watch as much as I can. I can’t just keep watching Master And Commander no matter how marvellous it is.

The adverts for that show seem terrible.

Have you watched Black Sails? Some glorious pirate shenanigans!

I've got the first book in the Master & Commander series, by Patrick O'Brian, waiting to be read at the moment. Once I'm done reading Children of Dune, I'm going to delve into it.

Black Sails lost my interest fairly quickly, I need a good storyline and that was a wasted opportunity to do an actual series about Barbary pirates. First season was pretty strong admittedly, it just wasn’t enough.

F2movies appears to have gone down, and I'm on the final episode of Justified: City Primeval. They need to sort themselves out.

I've finished the 3 seasons of the 1980s 'Robin of Sherwood' series. I really liked the first two seasons; they played with atmosphere and mysticism, along with the adventure elements, which made it interesting. However, they seemed to abandon most of that in the third season. It also doesn't help that the original actor who played Robin left at the end of the season 2, and he was replaced by Jason Connery, who was ridiculously wooden. The third season also suffers from the appearance of Richard O'Brien, who gurns and camps things up in a number of episodes.

Richard O’Brien is good in exactly two things, The Crystal Maze and Dark City.

Finished Justified: City Primeval (thanks Seanny!). I enjoyed it, though the occasional woke moments marred it somewhat; thankfully they were few. Boyd Holbrook did a good job as the main baddie, but he's no Walton Goggins. However, if they should decide to do another series, we'll get some Boyd Crowder goodness.

With both Robin of Sherwood and Justified: City Primeval done, I need to find my next lot of shows to watch. I've already begun season 3 of Peaky Blinders, so I just need to decide which other show/shows to start.

You should watch “Bluestone 42” on that site. I’m doing a re-watch and I am delighted to see how well it has held up after ten years. One of the great underrated shows of the BBC 3 era.

It’s a comedy about a British bomb disposal unit in Afghanistan. If that doesn’t hook you then forget it.

I'm into the latter half of the first season of Succession.

I'm trying so hard not to binge watch this show; so fuckin' good.

El to the O.G.

That will be your custom status soon.

Gen V first episode is good stuff, I liked almost all of it besides the tiny woman doing that thing. The Boys did it better.

This is maybe half as good as The Boys, so it’s probably worth pushing through but damn if it isn’t annoying with the shitty dialogue.
