You can skip it. I figured as much- thanks. I'd heard S5 was atypically weak for the series and, as soon as it started with Grumpy Editor/Beat Writer/whatever he is, I felt like this was David Simon using the show as an outlet to vent from his time as a writer. And god drat, John Doman may end up being my favorite actor from this show. Rawls is an rear end in a top hat, but he plays it so well and is a dude who seems like he'd be a fascinating guy to talk to.

Watching Fresh Fried and Crispy, the fast food show on Netflix from that youtube guy. Some gorgeous food, but annoys me so much how the guy takes the salad of all his burgers before he eats them. Don't get a food show if your a picky eater! He food review knowledge also seems to just be commenting on the how light the batter is for anything he enjoys.

That Daym Drops guy got a Netflix show? I remember a few years ago he got super worried about his weight and said he was going to stop doing so many fast food videos but it looks like he went right back to it when views started dropping.

I liked the newspaper stuff in the Wire but I'm interested in the business. It's a neat moment in time to visit, like watching a herd of dinosaurs try to fathom the giant mushroom cloud caused by the asteroid that will eventually kill them.

And now Buzzfeed is worth 1.5 billion bucks and is a credible news source. So weird.

I started watching a National Geographic documentary about Egyptian archaeology. The first episode about King Tut was good. All the known artifacts related to King Tut across Egypt were being transferred to a museum in Cairo, intended to be united forever in a single exhibit, so one part of it followed a security convoy transferring those artifacts. Another part of it followed someone excavating a mine where Egypt was getting the gold for its pyramids. The foreman was a teenager like Tut, buried with a model boat (related to Egyptian belief in a boat which sails toward the afterlife). The third part of it followed a team using drones for an aerial survey of the Valley of the Kings, the location where Egyptian pharaohs started being buried in cliffsides after Egyptians stopped building pyramids. However, I can tell the rest of this six-part series is going to be hard to follow, because the editors insisted on switching back and forth between three teams in each episode, and I'm probably not going to remember all the names associated and who's doing what. That style of storytelling works for most shows, but I don't think it works when all three stories are in the same location and following a dozen people each to whom you were just introduced.

The newspaper season of The Wire is good for showing exactly why we are all completely hosed, twenty years later...

Helix was one of the most preposterous Syfy shows ever and I miss it dearly. The final season turned into Resident Evil 7.

Holy gently caress this Black Monday episode. Andrew Rannell's villain's turn is loving good. Still think it's June Dianne Raphael. Ooft the editing on this episode got really bad at the end there though. Gonz posted:Helix was one of the most preposterous Syfy shows ever and I miss it dearly. It was basically Resident Evil, except it was really slow and didn't have any big dumb monsters. Which really misses what I love about Resident Evil.

It’s not just you (the thing with the angel possession needed at least one more scene to determine exactly what they were going for, like either “we can’t find the wife anywhere” or “oh here she is”) but as long as it keeps being this batshit and Michael Emerson keeps doing swears I don’t mind much

Yeah, 261 is roughly the number of 11 minute episodes.

They're both 11 minute shows though??? E: oh, I see, miscommunication. One airs in fifteen minute chunks and the other is paired to make it thirty minutes. Totally forgot that detail, whoops Arist fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jun 28, 2021 |

Yeah, it’s the same thing with Adventure Time too right? I think they’re like…8 minute episodes or something crazy, even there are almost 300 episodes.
