@LN78 Come on, that is completely uncalled for. There is absolutely no need to be so unpleasant to @RogerRoger. He's an ace guy, always respectful and is perfectly entitled to enjoy whatever films, games or TV programmes he pleases. If it makes him happy, so what? And if you happen to disagree with his views you can do so respectfully if you so desire, but being so nasty is not on. If it bothers you that much then perhaps you are the problem.
@LN78 Yeah it wasn't cool, maybe you should have just kept it brief and not gone into so much detail, as it came across as quite scathing. He is only being himself and not his fault you do not like the way he comes across on the forum. It is good that you've apologised but maybe bite your tongue the next time you feel the need to do something like that.

Anyone else here watch Vikings? I feel like season 6 has been a bit disappointing except for the last couple of episodes. And it could being great again or it could be a GoT season 8 from what I've heard about that.
That last episode for the mid-season finale really put things back in gear for now though.
I may've read the masked songer (I assume it's meant to be singer) as The Masked Snogger at first @Arugula. That would be quite a different show indeed!
... Wouldn't be surprised if it did exist though somewhere š
@Ralizah I wish all shows like that would get purged. Not that I watch any of them, but I get annoyed at just hearing about them. And don't get me started on Gogglebox. For the life of me I do not understsnd the appeal of something like that.

I got roped into watching the āMasked Singerā season premiere after the Super Bowl and I quite enjoyed it. Then when I tried to watch the second episode I was already so over it and bored of the clowns on there (Jenny McCarthy looks great but you can only tolerate so much of that Dr Kim guy). I didnāt even make it to the end. Once you know the celebrities in the masks are washed up people desperately hanging on their precious fading notoriety to try to re-kickstart their dying careers, itās less fun. Also, the show requires too much knowledge of pop culture icons and I just couldnāt relate.

I'm looking forward to the new season of Castlevania next month. First two seasons were a lot of fun.
@Jaz007
Watched all of Vikings except for the latest season, not started that one yet.
Anyone checked put The Expanse? Well worth a look if you love science fiction space drama. This has got great characters and plenty of excitement going on, but at the same time the physics and the science are really on point, far more than most.
@LieutenantFatman I still need to watch the last episode of Castlevania season 2. Season 3 should be great.
And let me know what you think of season 6 of Viking if you remember after watching, I'm curious to hear other opinions about it.
@RogerRoger@KALofKRYPTON just finished watching crisis on infinite earths and I loved it! I thought it was a great pay off for all the shows and I'm really glad that arrowverse has been merged. .
As for the DCU shows I watched in the lead up. Titans Season 2 was much better than season 1. Jason was less of a douche, or at least he was characterized more so his douchery became more understandable. I'm glad they got rid of Kori's ridiculous wig but there is something really off about Beast Boy and ravens hair, their hair lines are really dirty like it's a poor dye job or a wig has been stuck on weirdly. I think Hawk and Donna are my favourite characters but I also love Dick and I think Brenton Thwaites is probably the best casting for Nightwing they can probably get at the moment. I can't really think of any other actors at the moment that could pull it off.
I liked Swamp Thing but I think you built it up a bit too much Kal! It sort of worked well as a horror show but inevitably it meant the characters fell into the horror tropes of making dumb decisions often accompanied by dumb dialogue. One scene of the girl in the hospital bed really stuck out because a similar scene appeared as a joke in Doom Patrol where it was played as deliberately hammy whereas Swamp Thing played it completely straight and came off as unintentionally hammy. I quite liked the casting of Swamp Thing itself. Avery was great too and I just love the Cajun accent. It's just really strange the way things with an "er" sound are pronounced like work, turtle etc.
I think Doom Patrol was the best of the DCU shows though. It was just funny and I loved all the characters especially the Negative Man and Robotman but also Crazy Jane and Elastigirl. Looking forward to a season 2 of that.
As for Arrowverse, I really didn't think Batwoman was too bad. Especially in comparison to early Arrow. Bare in mind I've only seen up to Crisis but nothing really sticks out as really terrible. I think when they move on from this Alice storyline it will get a lot better though.
Black Lightning season 3 so far hasn't been as good as at least the first series but like I say I am glad that the world has finally been merged with the rest of the Arrow spin offs and I can't wait to see where they take it!
You're very generous towards Batwoman; It's thoroughly shoddy and the characterisations, writing, direction, production and acting are pi** poor. Even early Arrow was leagues ahead in all respects.
Titans was really more of the same meandering. The ending was really terrible though. I get wanting/needing to kill off Donna, but Conner was right there!

@KALofKRYPTON maybe I am being generous but arrowverse related shows are like crack to me at the moment lol. I think I glaze over the foibles because the shows are fun to watch. I only really hate the mopey episodes as they can get boring real fast
I wonder why they had to kill Donna. I am glad they didn't have Connor do it though. It would be so typical to have that sort of grievance be on a characters head so I am glad that Connor won't be dealing with a predictable storyline like that.
No, I mean that he was right there to be able to hold the ferris wheel. Also, it was a sodding ferris wheel with a bit of electricity! - they could have just had Slade do it to up the stakes a bit.
@KALofKRYPTON haha oh yeah, the whole thing was really dumb to be honest, I would've thought Donna would have been able to survive that. I didn't think that themyscirans had a weakness to electricity....I guess none of them listen to the radio while they're in the bath lol
@WanderingBullet
I'm not entirely sure they're going to run with classic (read: 'good') version of She Hulk.
That said, looks like Alison Brie is likely to star, so I wouldn't imagine they'd bother getting her if they weren't expecting the role to be physical.
Also, now I think about it - doing the new She Hulk would be monstrously expensive.
