Still have not done this.

“True Romance” is a better tribute to pulp fiction than “Pulp Fiction”

Watched first two eps of Shogun. Tremendous.

Just watched the TNG episode where Dr Crusher bones a ghost... so halfway through the final season. Slowed down my watching a little.

Also been watching the X-Men animated series... on season 4... I like how S1 and 2 are "relatively grounded" mainly about human/mutants..... then S3 just goes banana and is all ALIENS and SPACE.

Watched the first live-action episode of One Piece. I enjoyed it. Never really read the manga or watched the anime so going in relatively "blind" and don't have a point of reference to compare to, but it seems fun so far.

Nobody watching Shogun?

I'm waiting until there are more episodes before I watch Shogun.

I'm currently in the early stages of The Winter King, which is an adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's take on the Arthurian legend. I'm undecided on it at the mo, but I'll probably still watch it through to the end. It doesn't touch The Last Kingdom series, which was another adaptation of a Cornwell book series.

I'm also now on to season 2 of Weeds.

Zoey Deschanel has appeared in Weeds. My late 2000s-early 2010s love for her is returning.

I've got several series on the go at the moment. I'm coming to the end of The Winter King. It's not bad; it gives me my 'historical'/swords and shields fix. I've also started a rewatch of Farscape and Colony. I'd forgotten how bangable Claudia Black was, back in the day; she probably still is.

Watched Weeds all the way through because the main gal in it is so f'n sexy.

Mary-Louise Parker was top drawer until she started pumping things into her face.

Haven't looked her up in a long time but that is something I wish would cease to exist. The filler and facelifts women do are so unattractive and sad.

I will eventually. That late start time is a killer for me.

The first season of Farscape is mad cheese, but also bloody great. Not as good as the later seasons, when Crichton slowly goes bonkers, along with the show. It is amazing how well the voice acting is for Rygel; you soon forget he is a puppet.

Against my better judgement, I've moved on to season 4 of Weeds. I'd forgotten this season had Julie Bowen in it; glorious.

Still watching One Piece. About 4-5 episodes in, quite enjoying it. It still has that same kind of... I dunno, "real action humans seem wooden" kind of feeling, when you're watching something adapted from an animated medium. Never watched the anime much so I can't compare this to that, but it reminds me of how I felt when watching the Netflix version of Cowboy Bebop in like it very distinctly felt like the actors were caricatures emulating another character's movements that were done way better in anime. Does that make sense? Probably not, I haven't had my coffee. But anyway, One Piece is pretty great so far. Will probably start binging the anime once I'm done this Netflix series.


Also started watching the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 revival on Netflix. I always loved the idea of the original show but never watched it religiously. Having a blast with this one. I'm sure MST3k purists will hate it because that's what people do, but it's given me some good laughs

MST3K is a great show to just drop into every now and then. I’ve never seen any of the new ones but it’s a hard gimmick to fuck up so it’s probably still good.

Finishing Andor today. Hasn't been that bad but the first half of the season took a bit to get through.

The Gentlemen. Really solid stuff. Doesnt have to pace of classic Guy Ritchie but it has the spirit.

Finished up Star Trek TNG yesterday at last... bittersweet to reach the end, but... All good things....

2 episodes left in season 2 of DS9

Onwards and upwards

Garak is the best Star Trek character idc what anyone says

Got bored and curious enough to watch the first episode of “Cowboy Bebop”.

It was pretty good.

Animated?

Inclined to agree

I'm coming to the end of season 2 of Farscape. As much as I enjoy/have enjoyed the various North American sci-fis series produced over the past 20-30 years, Farscape demonstrates how bland and sanitised such shows have been. One Farscape episode has more imagination and character than most shows can muster in their entire run.

Season 2 also employs 3-4 episode story arcs, which really fleshes out a story and allows for more character development. Good stuff.

That’s the only version that I am aware of, my mates used to love it when we were a lot younger but it’s fine for adults too.

Missing Ond Punch and Dorohedoro though.

Will binge “Shogun” when it is all available.
The ratings are too consistent to ignore.

The original is great. Top tier. They tried a netflix love action series 2ish years ago that was a dumpster fire

Was that with Harold in it? I remember seeing a poster but I assumed it was a film.

I’ll watch a couple of the anime episodes tonight if I get the chance.

Animated is exponentially better than the live action Netflix one. It's a pretty fantastic anime in its own right. If you really enjoy it, I recommend Trigun as well it has kind of a similar theme

I Googled “One Punch Man, Dorohedoro, Cowboy Bebop” and Reddit threads turned up Trigun, Chainsaw Man and Berserk as suggestions.

I’ll see how Bebop takes me. I should really watch Dorohedoro again though, it was idiosyncratic in the best way.

Trigun is my favorite anime. Hence my avatar

I’ve seen the opening six sessions/episodes of Cowboy Bebop now.
Oddly enough the one about eco-terrorism and ape-men is probably my favourite so far, also the music in it is pretty damned good.

Tried to watch the first episode of “Berserk” and it put me off immediately.
Is Samurai Champloo any good?

Trigun is unavailable on the site I use but it has Mob Psycho 100 so I can finally see how that goes. Seph recommended it ages ago.

There has to be comedy. I like a bit of humour in my fucked up cartoons aimed at adults.

There is a Trigun film but I don’t want to spoil anything in case it becomes available

Fuck yes Samurai Champloo is GREAT. Same tier as Cowboy Bebop. they used to play back to back when they were first aired on TV.

I rewatched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners last week, not even really sure why just was kind of in the mood for it. It's such a great little series. Long enough to get invested in the characters but doesn't overstay its welcome. Love the vibe and atmosphere, it's like the best parts of what 2077 wants to be. And god bless all the Lucy cosplayers out there.

@seanny

Trigun movie was mid at best. Same with the bebop film.

Champloo has great action but doesnt have the bite of some of the stuff that youve resonated with.

Some things id recommend to you are Dororo. The recent remake on amazon. The 60s version is still beautiful but the newest run is outstanding.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Not Full Metal Alchemist. Specifically Brotherhood. The original anime was made before the manga ended so they winged it. Brotherhood is the actual vision.)

Death Note.

These are pretty famous shows but theyre famous for a reason.

Some of my favs that i dunno if youd jive with but i wanna shout out anyways are Agama ga KILL!, Eden of the East, Gurren Lagann, The Future Diary, Soul Eater, Stien's;Gate, and Seven Deadly Sins.

Ninja Kamui is pretty good too (the new one). You'll love the midget who talks about cock and making everyone his bitch.

I'm over the halfway point of season 4 of Farscape. I feel like the show peaked in seasons 2 and 3, and started to drop off once Zhaan left. Season 4, whilst it has had its moments, feels a bit lost.

I'm at the beginning of season 7 of Weeds. When I originally watched the show, years ago, I stopped after season 6. The show hasn't been funny since season 3, and Nancy has become an increasingly dislikeable character. I've persevered with it for the odd moment of brilliance it still sometimes delivers, but the show should have ended after season 3.

One Farscape and Weeds are done, I'm going to watch Shogun.

Weeds was pure pish
