I really liked the expansion, Yuri's Revenge. It had the craziest shenanigans.

Picking up on Orphan Black again after having stopped after the first three episodes and I'm kicking myself at having stopped in the first place.

I did not expect going into this new season that Lethal Weapon would be my favorite new show but here we are. I kind of love it. Damon Wayons and Clayne Crawford are great together and I knew Crawford had the drama chops from Rectify but he's amazing at comedy too and this role gives him a chance to show both equally.

Yeah Lethal Weapon's great. It's got the action and fun but what makes it work is that the main buddy pair consists of decent actors with serviceable writing but their relationship is really effective . The series would have not worked at all otherwise - when you have mediocre characters in a show like this you get Rush Hour.

I just saw a commercial for the new season of Lip Sync Battle, and apparently this season John Cho goes up against……Sir Ben Kingsley? So that'll be something.

I'm checking out episode 1 of Lethal Weapon. I wish filmmakers would stop using that camera angle where the camera is in the passenger seat looking at the driver and then a car looms up and crashes into them. As soon as I see that shot, I know a crash is coming. Hell of an opening 15 minutes though blue squares fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Oct 6, 2016 |

That sort of thing often just gets in the way of good story-telling. edit: but yes, nthing what others have said: Lethal Weapon is really great, everyone should check it out.

Why can't the crash ever be their fault. For once I want to see them be the one that t-bones some other pregnant lady.

Finally caught up with the pilot for Westworld. It's absolutely fantastic, the cast is stellar, I'm anticipating a really good season.

What I found really interesting about the Westworld pilot is that it really felt like there were stakes even though no one human was directly threatened. So, in that respect, they've succeeded in making me invested in setting.

The WW thread moves really loving fast like 100 new posts in an hour yesterday. But there's so many great theories and speculation in there that it's worth keeping up with.

Apparently Flavor Flav is not happy about that face kick from the end of his segment on The Eric Andre show. He insists it wasn't real and that “That kick in the face, NEVER HAPPENED. That’s some Bullsh*t editing done to disparage Flav. Yo Eric Andre – F*CK YOU for that move gee.”

Just seen three episodes from the upcoming Netflix season of Black Mirror. They were great! Although two of them were very different from the show previously - I was thinking it had changed for good until the third episode. Will post more later.

So I heard about the premise for Timeless, and the fact that each episode could be a different time period, and I thought "Wow, that sounds really expensive!" Then I saw the CGI in the pilot

So, in that respect, they've succeeded in making me invested in setting. I love it as well. Some really interesting threads and storylines that could develop. Listening to AJ Mass on Post Show Recaps made me think I was alone. That guy bitched about the entire pilot and kept harping on about "It fell flat because the Hosts can't feel anything so how can you feel sorry for them. There just aren't any stakes until they become sentient." What sort of loving sociopath feels nothing in that episode "because they aren't human"? Yeah, you're technically correct, but human beings in the real world with shred empathy should not have that reaction. It's why we cry in WALL-E and feel sorry for the puppy dog eyes on an RSPCA ad (as opposed to a crocodile or some poo poo). Hell, it was the whole point of Ex Machina and we saw how Domhnall Gleeson's characters felt despite it "just being a robot".

I mean, my default assumption in all AI media is that the AI is actually or will soon within the confines of the story be sufficiently sentient to be called a "person", and therefore be deserving of empathy and dignity. I don't know why people would think otherwise unless they're enormous shitheads.

I bet they revisit the same time period a lot going forward.  Also why can't they send another generic guy back in time to 1937 only 5 minutes before they arrive to give them the heads up on what went wrong the first time and fix it? That would avoid their "can't jump back to the same time or you explode" deal.

If you want to watch Jack Bauer as president go for it. It's nothing on the level of like Breaking Bad, but as far as network TV goes it's been fairly decent.

If you like the premise that's exactly what it is. Keifer Sutherland sells it fine. But he's not being Jack Bauer, it's a political drama and he's not shooting anyone, he's making the case for why the secretary of HUD should be president to catty republicans. e: that might sound like it's bad but I enjoy it quite a bit.

Yeah Designate Survivor is good, but if you're looking for 24: The Bauer Presidency it's pretty much the opposite of that because his character is the opposite of that.
