El Vaquero de Infierno 11-25-2024 12:56 PM

I've finished Snowpiercer. While I found the first two seasons interesting and entertaining, from the start of the third season onwards my attention started to wane, and by the end of the show I really didn't care. I only kept watching because I have inappropriate (but legal) thoughts about Rowan Blanchard. I also came to the conclusion, at some point in season 3, that none of them really deserved to survive.

I've started the mini-series, The Regime, with Kate Winslet. It is supposed to be some form of satire, but everything seems to fall flat. I'm only two episodes in, so perhaps it will improve.

I couldn't wait for Xmas before watching season 2 of Arcane. However, I will wait until I've finished it before giving my thoughts.

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-01-2024 04:52 AM

I abandoned The Regime after episode three. Blah.

I've reactivated my Paramount+ subscription on Amazon, and I'm getting my Taylor Sheridan fix. Rewatched season 1 of Lioness, and I've now started season 2. I'm waiting for all the episodes of Landsman and Yellowstone to come out before watching them.

As I have my Paramount+ subscription, I'm also revisiting the 'proper' Star Trek series: TNG, DS9 and Voyager. I'm on season 2 of TNG (I skipped season 1 as it is atrocious), and the handful of episodes I've watched thus far have had better acting, character development and script than Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard; combined.

Did superman retire and leave the caping to his kids

Lock Jaw 12-03-2024 03:43 PM

SPOILER: show
They kind of speed run his last 32 years of life in an epilogue. Kids joined him in heroing, Lois died via returning cancer, Clark got a dog, then eventually Clark died and was reunited with Lois.

weird to thinj of a superman who ages but it sounds sweet

Lock Jaw 12-03-2024 05:09 PM

SPOILER: show
Further spoilers... about events during the season.

In the course of the season Doomsday ripped out his heart and killed him.

Sam Lane later sacrificed himself against Doomsday so that his heart could be implanted into Superman and bring him back. It worked and Superman came back but he now had the human heart of a 62 year old.

As a result he wasn't as strong and was told he would eventually lose his powers entirely and age as normal

Destor 12-03-2024 06:55 PM

That tracks

I watched this a couple of weeks ago and it was an excellent back story for the Penguin, I got annoyed at how quickly into it that I saw the ending coming but besides that and Milioti being weird with food it was great.
It’s as dark as Batman material can go really. If they had gone further it would have been absurd. They hit just the right amount of “what the fuck”.

Running through Futureman again, Wolf is pure comedy

Seanny One Ball 12-11-2024 01:13 PM

“Dune: Prophecy” is pretty good so far. There is some questionable acting at times, in fact some of it is downright awful but the world they have built is undeniably interesting and great to look at. I just hope they open the whole thing up and milk the franchise as it should rightly have been by now.

I need to catch up on the last two episodes...

Sadly that is exactly why the Lynch version is still the best. Heart plugs, cat milking and fat homosexual men flying around in jet powered pants.

funny as fuck if that pretty boy wins when this was the best/most interesting/prettiest cast of women they've ever had. Or one of at least

Ragnar Loethbrook is the best part, so far. I've just watched 3 episodes.

Yeah still better than the last 2 seasons though.

Lock Jaw 12-12-2024 10:06 AM

Yeah, season been good... feel like Rachel "obviously" winning now that the two who maybe could have beat her are gone...

3rd episode was crap, 4th episode much better.

Desmond Hart is the “missing link” of Dune by the looks of it. Didn’t know we were heading towards worm worship.

Seanny One Ball 12-12-2024 11:22 AM

Ah who am I kidding… it always ends in worm worship

Routing for her hard bc I've really like her the whole time but I think she's destined to be the Final 4 fire loser we call that the "Fallen Angel" (no pun intended) edit IN THE BUSINESS. So many great players with big edits "loose cannon" one spot away from making final tribal council,,,,

weird final 3 if that happens but yk

Caroline was the prettiest girl they've ever had on this show

poopfromweiner dude 12-12-2024 11:29 AM

Season 43 Jesse was "obviously" winning after Cody and Karla vote outs and then lost the fire and freaken Gabler won lmao

that was my previous favorite new era season but the online survivor dorks are still PRESSED over that outcome

Seanny One Ball 12-12-2024 11:42 AM

They should do a reality tv show about celebrities in prison for #MeToo stuff but they trick them by sending in a celebrity who actually loves women and isn’t a sex offender.
I’d watch it if they introduced them all like “60 Days In” and then you got to see them trying to work out how to fit in.

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-12-2024 02:03 PM

I've finished season 2 of Lioness. Not as good as the first, but still entertaining enough. Genesis Rodriguez has a banging bod, and she is not afraid to show it.

I'm on to season 3 of Star Trek:TNG. Good stuff.

I'm indulging my inner 70-year old woman at the moment and watching Downton Abbey. I'd forgotten how bad the editing was for this show. But otherwise, it is oddly entertaining.

I'm deciding which Taylor Sheridan show to watch next. It's probably going to be Mayor of Kingstown, while I wait for Landsman, Yellowstone and Tulsa King to finish their current runs.

In watching The Bear. It really is must view tv. It, so far atleast is in the rarefied air of quality few shows ever rise to. Im nearly done with s2 so maybe it falls off but so far so excellent

Lock Jaw 12-17-2024 09:51 PM

Watched the latest Skeleton Crew.... it is jolly good fun

Seanny One Ball 12-18-2024 09:18 AM

Started “Silo” but not sure if it worth continuing after 4 episodes.
Hard to say.

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-18-2024 12:05 PM

Rebecca Fergusson is hot as fuck, so yes, you will be continuing to the end.

poopfromweiner dude 12-18-2024 02:10 PM

survivor finale tonight

Big Vic 12-18-2024 02:13 PM

Just thought "oh maybe survivor talk is happening here" after posting in the LJ thread.

She’s maybe a 6/10

Seanny One Ball 12-18-2024 05:01 PM

Seeing her running about in boiler suits and work boots is quite funny in an “infant wearing his dads shoes” way.

Madness, sir. She is a top drawer dame.

I still need to rewatch the first season before tackling the new one. All I can remember of season one was that Common had a tendency to spoil any scene that he was in. He was serviceable enough in Hell on Wheels, but he's out of place in this show.

I was expecting Rachel to win, but feel like Sam made a real strong argument in the end.... I would have totally been swayed to vote for him... but also maybe I am just always rooting for the underdog in any scenario

Common is a fine actor, he is much less distracting than Ferguson in terms of fitting in. I’m not sure how she got the gig, but she isn’t very good at acting.
I think the funniest piece of bad casting is the old mechanic woman who played one of Logan Roy’s ex wives in “Succession”.
