i think what i liked most is the comforting fiction that somewhere in our government, people were at least competent and capable. Evil, clearly, but competent and capably so.

you mean the MCU guy?

was he the guy who stepped in on our beloved matt damon?

yeah jeremy renner

so that is your main complaint the guy from the comic book movie had to not be matt damon a guy who definitely did not come from comic book movies

e: sorry never saw it or the other ones agreeing with rotor there is a kind of grace to competence even when evil and everyone should just watch Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

avery brooks is just slamming it early even with the hair and no beard

maybe it's residual love for when i was a kid and the tng borg arc got good but probably the best capitan is sisko

it's going to take you a while to get there, but eventually you will get to watch S06E19, In The Pale Moonlight, which is the single best hour of Star Trek ever aired.

i love ds9 so much

argh

"Far Beyond the Stars" is the 137th episode of the syndicated science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the 13th episode of season 6. The teleplay was written by Ira Steven Behr and Hans Beimler, based on a story by Marc Scott Zicree, and directed by Avery Brooks.

that one i mean that's debatable but as far as the star treks go doing a bottle episode i guess is cheating against an ongoing plot line

it's just outside of the universe and was kind of prescient and kind of tone deaf but looking forward to all that

I recently finished up umbrella academy and it was pretty decent for something based on a comic book. Has anyone read the actual comics? How are they?

they're short, just a limited series really

though there was a new one released recently after season 1 that i haven't gotten yet


the adaptation built up on top of it a decent amount, of course. i liked them

Umbrella Academy reminded me a hell of a lot of The Transition by Iain M Banks, particularly in how they represented The Handler in the series

It was good.

the creator of umbrella academy was a comic book nerd who tried breaking in at dc comics in his early 20s but got nowhere, so he switched to plan b: become a rock star, sell almost 10 million records, and then go back to dc and try again (it worked)

s3 of sopranos isn’t really grabbing me as much as the first two but the ep where paulie from rocky carries out a hit on his godson was pretty great for a number of reasons.

joey pants’s character is not really written or directed very well so far imo which is disappointing. the butt cut is pretty lol at least

So I’m rewatching Who Mourns For Morn and I’m confused: how could Morn have sat down on “that very bar stool” 10 years ago if the FCA liquidated all of Quark’s chattels and he had to get new furniture at the end of the union episode?

he is the worst and will remain the worst, his only redeeming quality is the way he pronounces "whore." he's not even a particularly compelling villain, just a shithead they shoehorned into the story played by a good actor

if you watch something and like it, you'll probably like it if you watch it again. maybe even more!

new things might suck, and frequently do. nobody rewatches stuff they don't like, except tori and star wars bc he just can't help himself

I like to mix it up, you know? I watch new tv AND old tv. I'm kind of a Renaissance man that way

you can not go wrong with queen's gambit

just putting that out there like it's my original thought

and a fun rewatch from a couple years ago that may have been in this thread is Sorry to Bother You

and based on the fact that the main character is black and has curly hair immediately i had to say watch Atlanta

i felt bad that that was where my mind went but gently caress it

i'm gonna preemptively defend myself and say that Sorry to Bother You had a main character who kind of had something in common with Don Glover's character in Atlanta

both of them were intelligent but struggling with lovely jobs and lovely situations i'm sure i can't relate
