Watching the s2 finale of Fringe and I gotta say the bizarro cast seem like they have a lot more fun. Season 2 has been pretty good, better than the first I think mainly due to it being a lot more serialized. Ok guess that wasn't the finale after all, this season just has more episodes. A little disappointed the super friends went out like chumps when they crossed over, but otherwise really glad all the build up has lead to something. I probably shouldn't stay up for e23 but I'm going to anyway. Inspector 34 fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Apr 20, 2021 |

Just watched the first season of Everything’s Gonna Be Okay. It’s a really down to earth comedy on Freeform about a 20 something guy becoming the guardian of his two high school age half sisters. The main character can be a little annoying at first but after a couple of episodes he really shines.

Somewhere there is a timeline where Continuum gets the ten seasons the creator originally envisioned.  Still, it wrapped up pretty well. Still my favorite protagonist/antagonist equation ever.

I just started binging this tv show on cbs called SEAL Team. I’m about halfway through season one. It seems fun so far, although it is already getting a bit old that a) every mission goes off successfully and b) every episode has some fairly predictable procedural scenario for them to.. ultimately succeed at without a hitch. The characters are great, acting good, action is rad. I’m wondering though.. it has a lot of seasons. Is it worth it? Does it get better? I’m not looking for the next Westworld here. Just a fun show for chill time.

However, the lead character/writer is Josh from Please Like Me, which is fantastic. If you decide you like him and want to see more, that's the series that basically made his career.

Is there some crossover in the people who made Fringe and the ones who did The Wire? Besides all cast that have shown up in Fringe there are also a few suspiciously similar character names. Milo Stanfield is the latest example I've noticed but I think there were a few others in the 1st and 2nd season as well. Maybe the writers of Fringe were just super fans or something.

I remember several Deadwood actors showing up on both Lost and SoA. I always assume same casting agent or they were big fans.

I know Fringe used to film in NYC so a lot of the actors in The Wire are probably from that area and work on whatever shows film on the east coast. I noticed a lot of them show up on The Good Wife and Sherlock too. Fringe moved to Canada at some point because I started seeing all the usual actors I see on my scifi pew pew laser shows.

In my opinion it does get better as it goes, but it gets better at doing the same/similar things. So if those things don't appeal to you then yeah it's probably not for you.

Olivia is loving amazing at killing people. S1&2 it was like she just tapped every target in the absolute center of their forehead and now in season 3 she's expanded to center chest and oh poo poo, apparently neck shots as of a few seconds ago. Other than the more chaotic large scale gun fights and putting down cover fire I don't think we've ever seen her miss a target.

Collateral posted:Have you watched Strike Back? Nothing ever goes to plan, also betrayal, so so many. And gratuitous boobies. Should be noted that Strike Back has a slightly weird season dynamic. Season one is a relatively more subdued spy story and very different in tone and style from the rest of it, to the point of being very nearly a different show entirely. Not bad at all, but can freely be skipped since there's a very firm cut at the beginning of season 2. Seasons 2 to 5 are great, loud, dumb fun. Seasons 6 to 8 I haven't watched yet beyond the first couple episodes, since they did a complete swap of the cast that just didn't have the same charm anymore. tl;dr: Just start at season 2, then maybe go back to season one (it's only got six episodes anyway) if you feel like it.

I finished all 11 seasons of Frasier after doing all 11 seasons of Cheers before it. Frasier was consistently fantastic through the early seasons, great during the mid seasons, and pretty good the final 3 years. the big issue is that Frasier himself becomes even more unlikeable in the last 3 seasons after a major series plot is more or less resolved, and I wonder if this was purposefully done - if everyone else in his life is happy and Frasier is not, I can see how that would wear someone down and make them no fun to be around. Also, episode 5x14, "The Ski Lodge," is probably the single greatest sitcom episode of all time.

ketchup vs catsup posted:Also, episode 5x14, "The Ski Lodge," is probably the single greatest sitcom episode of all time. It's pretty good. It feels like it was based on the play Noises Off. There's a movie of it too, but it doesn't compare to seeing it live. It's a similar plot of people all being at the same place while hiding what they are doing. So basically, if you liked The Ski Lodge see Noises Off live someday. ketchup vs catsup posted:I'd never seen an episode of cheers before doing the entire series last year and it was excellent. It's pretty decent. We did a rewatch last year as well. There are some early misogynist and homophobic bits, but they course correct fairly quickly. It's a fast binge and the show ends with a impactful finale. An Ounce of Gold fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Apr 23, 2021 |

The movie Noises Off is still pretty drat good though. If a live version comes through whenever people are doing that again I'll 100% go check it out, my wife would absolutely flip out if we had a chance to see it live. Just finished the 3rd season of Fringe and yeah this is really kicking into overdrive now but I was a little confused by the final scene. Peter is telling the Walters about sending the machine back in time and how they can prevent the apocalypse and then he just flickers out of existence and nobody seems to care at all. Nobody comments on it whatsoever? Not even the Olivias? Starting season 4 now and I think I saw a flicker of Peter in the background a second ago, but still nobody worried about Peter or talking about him at all. I'm guessing he somehow changed the past and in this new reality he must have died at some point and everybody's memories have been edited to this new status quo. Also interesting that Lincoln Lee doesn't know the Fringe people despite having worked with them in season 3, so Peter must have died sometime prior to that. Except if he did change the past then he clearly didn't solve their problems since the 2 sides are still working together to fix the universe(s). So assuming my guess is right, what did he actually accomplish? Oh, ok even halfway through this episode they're answering questions a little bit.

Binged all of Schitt's Creek in 4 days. Show good. Not as sharply written as the shows it practically invites comparison to (given that the show is basically about the Bluths moving to Pawnee) but it (eventually) has a lot of heart and the slow burn character development was good. If I have a complaint it's that some side characters I like didn't get nearly enough screentime, and I would have liked to see brief glimpses of their futures in the ending, a la the Parks finale.
