Nicole Ritchie was surprising, I don't think I've seen her in anything that wasn't related to that hotel lady. She had great comedic timing. I said it wasn't landing for me but I'm still watching it so I guess I don't hate it.

Raspberry Bang posted:If they somehow make it to the last book I hope that one chapter, you know the one, is a five hour long episode. I hope they have an entire season of Perrin traveling 8 miles in the loving snow because that's what that book felt like edit: Not the last book, I never read that one because I was so mad at "Perrin [previously one of my favorite characters] wears out his welcome big time"

Ccs posted:I'm curious about Wheel of Time. I never read the books and am not about to, despite being a big fantasy fan. I can't do the whole "farmboy who might be the chosen one" thing. But I can sit through a couple hours of tv to see if they've made something of the story. If it seems interesting maybe I'll keep watching. The books were at their best when it showed what happens to a farmboy AFTER he becomes the chosen one, namely paranoid, cruel and increasingly bonkers. Hope they do a good job on that front

Is it really only four episodes per book? Although I guess one episode per book is more than enough as they go on.

Junkenstein posted:Is it really only four episodes per book? If it's 4 on average they can easily give the early and later books more episodes by knocking out books like 8-11 in an episode each. Hell book 10, I think that's the one, it's only one scene worth of anything.

Doing a Community rewatch after tracking down dungeon and dragons ep on Prime and many compilations on Youtube, and I have to say, in the 2nd season the show's already losing a bit of steam with how much work they have to do to justify Pierce being a castmember, or in of these character's lives. He's horrible, with little to no redeeming factors. He doesn't even apologize for any of the poo poo he does, and I found myself finally losing patience when he literally tricks Jeff into thinking his long lost Dad is coming back to meet him, and then Jeff forgives him for it or something? There's no apology or anything, Jeff is just nice to him again. It's loving weird! I don't know if its reflecting the creators beliefs regarding noxious toxic abusers and the need to put up with them, but it dates the show even harder than its many gay jokes and even blackface. Okay, maybe not the blackface.

I didn’t even know that show was still running, but that makes sense. Mike always seemed like a bit of a dick. I know they’re kinda trash tv and easy targets for criticism, but I still enjoy American Pickers and Pawn Stars. Yes, they’re staged and fake as hell, but I genuinely like the little historical oddities that show up on the shows. That’s extremely my jam, even if the fat fucks hosting the show are total frauds being fed lines from cue cards. They’re probably the closest things History has to actual history anymore. I also liked American Restoration just because the restoration processes themselves were legitimately interesting, but I’m pretty sure that one has been toast for a while now.

I know Mike--I was actually a producer and camera operator on the original "pilot" episode that was used to pitch the show to History--but he's definitely changed a lot over the past decade-plus. He's always been a goober with a completely over-the-top love of old junk, and I thought becoming a father would chill him out, but it's done the exact opposite. It's kind of a shame, really. And American Restoration has been dead for like four or five years, yeah. Its viewership was never that great and they got some bad press after it was revealed that some of the "restorations" were actual item swaps.

Was that the one where someone would find some old Coke machine in a barn and bring it in to be restored?

Yep, and it was a Coke machine that actually revealed that the show was staged (they replaced an old and rusted-out Coke machine with a model that was about ten years newer and passed it off as a restoration).

There's no apology or anything, Jeff is just nice to him again. Pierce absolutely drags early and sticks around way, way too long. He left no void when he was gone and the people they tried filling with what they assumed would be void worked well in their own right. It's a really hard show to recommend these days, like, "hey watch this really funny show just try to ignore a really obnoxious and central character they insist on basing plots around, he's exactly the kind of lovely boomerfuck everyone on Earth was sick of decades ago and everyone's spent the last 10 years trying really hard to get the gently caress out of everyone's media and lives." If Pierce had to be in the show at all, he should've been a background character. Starburns or Leonard would've been better at the table.

I'm sorry, and stop reading if you don't want me to ruin your enjoyment of those shows, but I've always found them to be disgusting and exploitative versions of Antiques Roadshow, which is a national treasure and actually does the history without conning people out of treasures. Antiques Roadshow: this painting your grandma gave you is actually a rare original by this famous artist and will go at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars!!!

The Pickers guys came through this area some years ago and all the anecdotes paint them entire production in a bad light. Also Tulloch very quickly jumped to the top of the "best Lois" pyramid.

Speaking of Community, I know Harmon get's a lot criticism on this forum, but I just listened to his episode of the Good One podcast and it was really interesting. His self awareness of his previously lovely behaviour was quite eye-opening and him breaking down his creative process was interesting as hell.
