@PegasusActual93 Yeah, I know, but cancelled or not, with no new episodes coming out, it more or less amounts to the same thing
There is of course a small glimmer of hope attached to the fact that it's not officially cancelled, so I'll cling to that.
I miss Final Space. Every so often I think "I really quite fancy watching that again" and every so often I remember we can't. Another reason WB can go f*** itself 😭 cancelling a show is one thing, but writing it off for tax reasons so it can't be shown anywhere ever again is just pure nasty business.
When it seems you're out of luck.

@PegasusActual93 wait, you can actually buy it still? I thought they went scorched earth as they can't be seen to make any money from the property as it was a tax write off?

@Herculean WL Season 3 is pretty great right? Such a masterclass in the building of tension, and exploration of human behaviour/psyche
The dynamic between the 3 women is really brilliant I think. Also, Patrick Schwarzenegger is fantastic as the eldest son in the Ratcliffe family (Saxon?)
I'm slightly enjoying WL Season3 a little bit more than Severance Season2. Severance has maybe had 'higher highs', but also low points and dips in pacing (yesterday's episode in particular felt quit uncessecary)
@CJD87 Yeah. When the season started I half expected it to be inferior to the previous season, but the tension building from episode to episode is a masterclass indeed.
I find myself longing for each next episode, and thinking about the many ways in which the story might unfurl. Its something I am not used to having a lot anymore.
The dynamic between the 3 women is extremely interesting like you mention, and personally I'm invested in the Gaitok plotline.
Also, the boat trip in the next episode is something I'm looking forward to. 🌞
@Herculean yes the boat trip is sure to light some fire under the guests.. not to mention that there is some huge dramatic potential, assuming all the guests are on board and will be permeating one another’s spaces! Can’t wait
Finished the first season of that Goosebumps remake… reboot… thing? From the other year. Despite loving Goosebumps growing up and still trying to remain in horror circles online, I don’t remember ever hearing about this, and found it by accident during a bored afternoon scrolling through streaming services looking for something to do.
It is weird how much an ending matters sometimes. Especially when it is bad. And especially when a show has not just one bad ending, but two. The show is effectively 7 solidly paced episodes, with an eighth episode that rushes into a not well earned Hollywood ending, but an ending I suppose at least wraps up the show in some kind of conclusion. However, we then shift into a sort of two episode epilogue arc, which is fun for a while as it massively escalates things in bonkers directions, but it leads to the "true" ending which is just a massively anti-climactic cliff hanger which will never be resolved, as my understanding is season two is an entirely new story.
Mid way through this show, I would have said it has a bit of a “Goosebumps adaptation by the CW” energy to it, but I must confess, for as meme'd as the CW tropes / formula have become, I actually enjoyed a lot of those shows growing up, and so I was actually quite enjoying this, but with the way the final three episodes played out, I just feel like I massively wasted my time.
It is a shame too, as I think there is a lot to like here. I enjoyed the way Goosebump’s elements were integrated and woven into the wider story, plus, with it being aimed at a slightly older audience and the general upgrades to cinematic technologies over the decades, this show is able to deliver horror / set pieces the original show could only ever dream of, bringing it far closer to the darkest things your childhood brain could imagine while reading the books.
I also really liked the cast and characters. Justin Long playing the same vague cowardly dirtbag he plays in every horror thing he is in was an especial treat, but the core group (of adults in their 30s playing teenagers like in every American show) were all so likeable, I didn’t mind when it felt like the show ground to what was effectively a complete halt to explore some soap opera plotlines that didn’t really add much to the overall show.
But yeah, I dunno, just feels like a real tough recommendation to anyone know, given I now know this was going absolutely nowhere. Like why invest your time into something that doesn't respect that investment at all?
I was also going to give the second season a go, but knowing how this left me feeling, I'm not sure I wanna risk having my time wasted again.
whatching the last 3-4 episodes of Lost Season 1 on Netflix.
then going to be watching Man Called Horse movie on tubi this entire weekend. I think i kind of remembere seeing that movie when it came on HBO back then in the early 1980s.
@seinfeldfanatic Watching it the entire weekend? How long is that movie?!
I jest, of course
If it's the classic with Richard Harris from 1970, then I envy you. Haven't seen it in decades, so I'm interested to hear what you think of it and how it plays when viewed with 2025 sensibilities (some of those old classics do not hold up all that well)
