Topic: The TV Show Thread

Just finished Bosch great show, great final season, great final ep… and great set up for a spin-off.

@RogerRoger Buff Kermit means a lot to me.

@RogerRoger Might make a little shrine/pentagram dedicated to him.

@RogerRoger @nessisonett it was a suspiciously quick reply now that you mention it lol.

@zupertramp @RogerRoger Don't forget, @nessisonett is a paid commentator and I bet that comes with its own set of privileges. Including a picture of buff kermit to post at any given time.

@JohnnyShoulder It was part of my signing on bonus.

Started watching The Exorcist show from a few years back and really enjoying it. Fittingly uber-dark, utilises the existing lore really well as well as digging deep into the Old Testament. Quality show!

Sad to hear about Markie Post. Among the many characters she played (like Elliott's mom, crazy) I feel like I grew up on Night Court. Not like I knew the woman but still, cancer is dumb.

@zupertramp Searching that up really cements my hatred of the heavy handed way that these deaths are reported. Like do they have to be like DEAD AT 70 or MARKIE POST DEAD instead of a slightly more sensitive way of putting it?

@nessisonett some are certainly a lot worse than others. But yeah not a fan of the TMZ, Deadline style of reporting. I guess for you all overseas it's The Sun or The Mirror or something.

So What If...? is fun. I can't imagine going an entire season where I only get a half hour cartoon once a week though. Netflix has spoiled me. So probably have to wait it out and watch them all later.

@zupertramp Yeah I quite liked the first one. Obviously not the most chunky of programs but it’s decent for what it is.

@zupertramp @nessisonett Yeah I really enjoyed the first episode of What If. Quite surprised how much story they crammed in the running time without it feeling rushed. I'd be up for a whole series of 'Captain Carter'. I thought the standard of the animation was impressive, stylised but also very accurate to the actors. I was a little surprised they didn't get Chris Evans for the voice as they had pretty much everyone else but the stand-in did a great job I thought.

I'll watch each week as they are stand-alone stories unlike Falcon/Winter and Loki neither of which have I started yet. Decided to re-watch most of the movies to refamiliarise with the characters first and only just started that today.

@BearsEatBeets yeah weirdly Steve Rogers sounded a lot like Chris Evans whereas Bucky really sounded nothing like Sebastian Stan to me, even though it was actually him.

And I'd definitely take a Captain Carter series.

@RogerRoger thanks for tagging me and moving the conversation here, didn't realise this existed.

Yeah on reflection I'm in agreement with you. I guess I expected to see Rex one last time for the season, but the ending was a perfect way to further develop their relationships, especially with Crosshair. Sets up next season perfectly.

I do think it would have been better if the droid (AZ) had died, and Crosshair still save Omega. Would have had more consequence to it all.

But yeah, other than that. Top notch. Amazing series, cannot wait for the next one!

That’s me finished the Third Doctor’s run now. A mixed bag for sure but there were a few standouts and the supporting cast was really very good. They did a great job despite the budget concerns, I’d say! Onto Tom Baker now, I’ve watched his first story and I can tell that it’s in safe hands, and also why so many people say he’s their favourite!

The missus and I watched the new version of The Shining over the weekend. I've never read the book (though I do intend to at some point... heard its excellent, and King's best work) but I loved the old TV mini-series from the 90's... and quite enjoyed this too.

@colonelkilgore it still blows my mind that Stephen King doesn't like the Kubrick film. I know there were changes to his story but come ooooon!

@BowTiesAreCool lol, I meant The Stand, supreme brain fart there… but yes Kubrick’s The Shining is just phenomenal isn’t it. One of the best horror movies ever.

@colonelkilgore okay i thought how could I have missed that there's a new The Shining?
