When they pushed the NDA on his parents after it made me so mad. Well done show but please tell me they die horribly. I might have to spread this show out or I’m going to start Bolshevik meetings at the local Tim Hortons.

They're all giant monsters and the fun of the show is watching them fail and slit each other's necks. They deserve nothing but pain and suffering.

The thing that gets me about post apocalyptic fiction is how NO ONE USES BICYCLES, like ever. Bicycles are up to 5 times more efficient than walking and you don't have to feed them or worry about them running away, getting sick, or having some place to keep them. Yeah, they are machines that need parts that may not be able to be fabricated in that world anymore and there are consumables like tires, but there are an estimated 1 billion bicycles out there with tons of spare parts. A single speed bike would be relatively simple to maintain. Worse case if your bike breaks and you can't repair it, oh no, you are back to walking again until you can find another bike like basically everywhere.

Squidbillies ended the series with ... hope for the future. Granny died. Tammy had already said she was moving with Randy to Elberton. Rusty almost stayed in Dougal County but manned up and stole Early's truck. Granny and Early's father reunited in the afterlife and fell back in love while beating Early with a frying pan. There's some kind of symbolism with making Elberton the great hope of the future. Having actually been to Elberton, I don't know what that is. It's Squidbillies, so yeah. The last season was pretty strong. Tracy Morgan settled in to being Early and the writing was the best it's been in years.

seems right- I almost died diving and swimming in one of the quarries in Elberton back in the day I'll miss the show a lot and yeah Tracy Morgan did really well

Just started episode 4 and I’m fairly sure the Tom character might be an actual serial killer. Well done show overall but the icing on the cake is how the Kendall actor has no idea his character is NOT awesome. It’s like they found the perfect actor for the character. I liked Kieran Culkin before but Jesus I hate him here. Just everyone is awful and awaiting their doom eagerly. Please let them suffer.

Jeremy Strong is a crazy person and I'm pretty sure he knows Kendall is a giant cringe fails moron. I was so happy McKay brought him over from The Big Short. Actors that make me hate them and their character are my favorite. Like Aida Turturro as Janice on the Sopranos.

muscles like this! posted:They did that on a timeloop episode of Legends of Tomorrow. Zari is the only character who realizes it is a loop so Nate tells her that next time it resets just tell him "Groundhog Day" and he'll be up to speed. I wound up reading the wiki synopsis for the show and really enjoyed it. I don't think Ii would've liked watching it, my roommates did and every snippet I saw looked like a drawn-out sadmo bummer. Couldn't find a decent 15 minute overall recap so the synopsis had to do and it did. I'm also glad it doesn't seem like they're making more, had one complete story to tell and did it -- cool, good! Kazzah posted:It stands to reason that whatever monsters exist in the real world have never occurred in any fictional media ever I like this idea, both because can't know what you don't know about, but also because if I did know about it, I would never ever believe it's magic. There's nothing I could see or experience to convince me magic existed, and I would question my own perception and senses before going "oh maybe magical creatures are real and we just gotta throw out chemistry/physics to get with the program now." That said, if zombies or vamps or mummies or whatever showed up tomorrow to be real, while I'd deny any supernatural aspects, still gonna call em by their proper DnD names as we see them. Speaking of zombies, still waiting for that post-covid zombie movie where a lot of people don't believe it's real and get turned trying to prove it's a hoax or whatever, or they know it's real and want to get it because it's their freedom to ignore the government trying to control everyone into not being zombies. If nothing else, I volunteer to become a zombie if zombies ever become real or I am invited to be in a movie about them. There's no reason to think that actually being a zombie isn't rad as hell, terrifying to humans, but I bet when you are a zombie it's all roses, no jobs, graze on food wherever you want, meet new people and groups, hang out in places you'd never go when human. I feel munching on a brain feels real nice for a zombie, and having an empty zombie brain might be a peace people spend lifetimes on earth trying to achieve. Plus, on the practical side of things, let's say humans win, zombies lose. Do you really want to be one of the humans left when it comes time to clean up billions of corpses everywhere, while trying to coexist with a bunch of traumatized survivors in a meagre post-apocalyptic landscape? gently caress that! On the other hand, if zombies win, what's the use in being on the losing team? Plus in the zombie civilization, zombs with earlier turn-dates get seniority in certain regards so get in early if you can.

I've only watched a couple of episodes of SMASH so far and while the cartoons are certainly in the style of the originals one thing they're missing is animation errors. Although that might fall under the Dark Place problem where it would be more expensive to fake being bad than to just do it competently.

3 episodes into Welcome To Earth with Will Smith, and I like it. It's pretty, Will is a fun host, and they cover some good material. My only complaint is that the cutaway segments from the main subject to interesting tangents are too short! They introduce cool poo poo then never go back to it. Anyway if you like a nice chill nature doc, it's worth a watch.

The season finale of Joe Pera was so good. It would be real funny if they come back and Gene is just stupid rich from his computer algorithm. Also I assume that a potential s4 would actually address the covid stuff seeing as they now have a plot of land/cabin out in the middle of nowhere to hunker down in.
