@RogerRoger I was the same. I couldn’t resist the temptation to watch right away. I think I might go back and rewatch season one, or at least a few episodes, while I wait.
I got interested in Olyphant (which is eerily close to The Lord of the Rings huge battle elephants called Oliphaunts) and looked up Justified with intent to try it but it’s only on Hulu apparently in the U.S. and I hesitate to subscribe to another service, even if it’s just a few dollars a month more from having D+. I do have access to Deadwood though, but it seems like he’s more of a side character there.

@Th3solution Oh no, Olyphant’s the main character in Deadwood. It’s an ensemble but he’s the main protagonist of sorts. Shame about Justified, it’s on Prime over here!
@RogerRoger Glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to get my mate into it as he gave up after 2 episodes of the first season and is a huge Star Wars nerd in his own words. But I think he will like it as he said he has become disillusioned with the franchise after the sequel trilogy. I only finished watching the first season not too long ago so I shan't be giving it a rewatch myself.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Three episodes into the Invasion crossover in the Arrowverse, I go to put on the Legends of Tomorrow episode and it’s off Sky. Seasons 1,2,4 and 5 are on Sky but 2 isn’t. I checked Netflix and it’s only in the States. It was on Sky last night. Even the website lists every season except 2. Ended up biting the bullet and buying that one season on Prime for £20. £20 for essentially the second half of the season. I’m bloody raging and utterly confused as to why it disappeared. Just very very strange when every other season of every other show is on.
@RogerRoger I think I've managed to get him to carry on watching it. He also likes Sonic almost as much as you but is a self proclaimed Nintendo fan boy, so that is where the similarities end!

@RogerRoger Nah, we’ve got a Sky box and their catch up has had literally everything else in the Arrowverse. It just now doesn’t include season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow which happens to be the one I’m watching at the minute.

@RogerRoger Did you happen to watch the second episode of The Mandalorian 2? Just curious about your thoughts. I liked the first episode better but I still enjoyed it.
@RogerRoger Yeah, the RE2 discussion made me think to ask. And honestly, even as I was watching the show, the thought came to me about how you might feel about it. I didn’t want to spoil anything for you, but it’s probably good that you did get a little warning ahead of time. And to be frank, the spider-like space creatures have just enough of a fantastical modification in appearance and design that maybe it won’t be so bad. The more distanced from reality the better, I would think.

@RogerRoger@Th3solution Being a fellow sufferer of arachnophobia, I did find it a bit of an uncomfortable watch. It was more to do with the smaller ones as the larger ones are too big to be realistic. And it didn't go on for too long either I thought. Nowhere near the worst episode for me, that would probably be the first few episodes of season one.
@RogerRoger I watch a Heavy Spoilers recap after each episode, it is neat that all these obscure throwbacks and Easter eggs are in there. One of the making of episodes for season 1 is purely about all that stuff. Most of it does go over my head though.
I'm waiting to get Disney + again until I can watch the whole second season of Mando in a single month of subscription. I'm trying to avoid looking/reading to much about it but know everyone here is cool about not giving spoilers so I've seen a few comments. Am I right in thinking next weekend will be half way into the series so about right to pick it up?
