Going to have to cancel using the word cancel to refer to canceling a tv show, clearly. Suggestions? E: content cessation? It also incorporates the further gross commoditization of art by calling it content. IRQ fucked around with this message at 18:52 on May 11, 2021 |

Vulture article about how Snyder replaced Chris D'Elia with Tig Notaro for his new zombie movie. Now I'm going to be watching like a hawk to see if I can tell.

Latest 90s/early 2000s there was a tv show that I have vague fever dreamish memories of It was live action and basically a spy vs spy plot? There were two guys and they were enemies and they would fight each other and I think one of them died each episode? I'm fairly certain I remember a laser getting reflected off a spoon causing someone to die Anyone know what this is?

More ongoing first Office watch thoughts: -The branch closing/merger feels like a lazy way to shoehorn in new characters. -Andy is this show's Cousin Oliver; the character nobody asked for, nobody wanted, and who this goon will be giving the Michael/Dwight "fast forward through any extended scenes" treatment. DrVenkman posted:https://twitter.com/kerryjeanlister/status/1392112736000163853?s=19 I don't care what happens as long as we get more Atlanta.

Jupiter's Legacy goes nowhere. Ends on possibly one the lamest cliffhangers in years. Don't watch.

CBJSprague24 posted:-The branch closing/merger feels like a lazy way to shoehorn in new characters. In some fairness, this is one of the big storylines from the original UK Office so it was clear they were going to adapt this for the US Office... but you're also not wrong. For a while I used to work in Stamford, near where the Dunder Mifflin building was supposed to be. The Dunder Mifflin Stamford area is all super-swanky condos now.

Man, Schitt's Creek is such a feelgood show that I was just in a terrible mood and cursing to myself and I watched one of my favorite happy scenes from it and immediately felt better.

Still worth it, but it's kind of a mess in the end. If you know ahead of time, it helps make the sting hurt a little less. Easily still one of the most enjoyable things I've ever watched. BG is loving amazing even when it's a mess. SamBishop fucked around with this message at 08:18 on May 12, 2021 |

My hot take is that the only bad parts of BSG’s final season are the garbage scow sidequest that only serves to set up Gaeta’s mutiny and the incredibly weak finale coda with the lazy robot montage.

For me I was annoyed by how the Starbuck stuff turns out. It felt really under done.

The last hour or so of the finale felt like they had a bunch of stuff to wrap up and nowhere near enough time to do it, so they just pulled out a checklist and knocked things off borderline spitefully. It reminded me of the patton oswalt bit about the magician who took the stage after being stiffed five bucks. “Starbuck vanishes without a trace. TA-Da! Hera is Mitochondrial Eve. TA-DA!”

Literally all criticism about how Battlestar Galactica turned out is valid. That's how bad they hosed up. And yet - yet! - I never hesitate to recommend it because the vice grip that show can have on you when it's at its best is peerless television. That Portlandia episode was correct if the show had been three seasons.

I'd honestly have another BSG swinging for ideas even if it can't always connect, than like 95% of streaming shows. Same thing with LOST. I still have my issues with it (I wouldn't even mind the end had it just been a little better done), particularly that last season. One of the things that struck me though was that shows just don't look that good anymore. The craft feels like it's gone.

To be fair, LOST filming in Hawaii is 90% of the reason why it looked so good. If someone finds a reason to set a show on a tropical island that isn't just cops/PIs maybe they can recapture some of that magic.

I still love LOST (even the last season- the season with the temple is my least favorite) and I still get emotional listening to this https://youtu.be/o_LIz4IS24w I think the binge watching and streaming services have drastically changed the pacing of shows and even within episodes. There’s usually no longer an exceptional single episode- like The Constant. Also my favorite original series I’ve watched on any streaming service in the last few years were all airing on TV with week to week breaks.

This might be good.quote:AMC has greenlit Moonhaven, “a new series from Peter Ocko focusing on “a utopian colony on the Moon that may hold the keys to preserving life on Earth—which has become increasingly perilous. The suspense thriller focuses on Bella Sway, a lunar cargo pilot and smuggler 100 years in the future who finds herself accused of a crime and marooned on Moonhaven, a utopian community set on a 500 square mile Garden of Eden built on the Moon to find solutions to the problems that will soon end civilization on Mother Earth. A skeptic in Paradise, Bella is sucked into a conspiracy to gain control of the artificial intelligence responsible for Moonhaven’s miracles and teams with a local detective to stop the forces that want to destroy Earth’s last hope before they are destroyed themselves.
