Astrofig posted:I started watching Rectify but I didn't like it much. The brother is just so WEIRD and it really feels to me like he did rape someone----I don't like that feeling at all. Dude is messed up from being in solitary for decades what do you expect?

Otherkinsey Scale posted:White Christmas was just really silly for me, because surely there has to be an easier way to get your toast the way you want it without resorting to brain surgery and torturing a digital clone. Likewise, if you can cut open a suspect's head without his permission to put one of those in to get a confession, at that point you might as well just beat him with a lead pipe until he says what you want. Less invasive and you don't even need a neurosurgeon. We don't need to waterboard people either but we do it.

NoNotTheMindProbe posted:Up to episode 3 of Another Life. Who let these children crew a space ship? Yeah for a mission to save humanity they seemed to pick the most unqualified assholes in the universe, I'm also quite confused about all their "this is the first time a human has breathed air on another planet" poo poo, I mean they have that FTL technology

Trig Discipline posted:I was really optimistic about American Gods, and I thought the first season was decent. In the second season Byan Fuller went full-on Bryan Fuller though, and the story completely stalled as every episode became another excuse to set up an edgy monologue in front of an arty backdrop. Fuller's great at visual imagery, but he really needs someone to aggressively keep him on task or he just crawls up his own rear end. Fuller got fired before season 2 even started production.

sticklefifer posted:Finally started watching Star Trek: Discovery after multiple recommendations. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far, but the one big issue I have is with the pilot episode and how all the ramifications on the main character keep coming back to it: (1st episode spoilers only)The scrambled Klingon ship was in Federation space, the Klingon warrior attacked first, and the Klingons fired first, so why does everyone in the Federation keep acting like Michael is solely responsible for it? I felt like the mutiny was enough for her to be shunned by people, but she even says herself that she's the reason the war started. Nobody in the entire Federation investigated the details of this? Other than that I really like it, it's just annoying whenever they bring up that plot point, because it's not what happened. It doesn't make sense and they just plow forward like it does, there is never a better explanation.

Zzulu posted:My GF didn't recognize any of the "important star wars characters" except for Skywalker. They did honestly feel very shoehorned in as fanservice Padme got plastic surgery and learned to be a Jedi after the prequel movies, she watches over Luke/Leia but does a poo poo job of it.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:I take back a little of my criticism of MacFarlane's acting, I just watched s3e4 and he gave a pretty good performance. But I also really like Billy Joel so that probably has something to do with it too, haha. My favorite part of the Orville is that you'd expect Macfarlane to make his character some sort of dashing badass being the captain, but really he comes off as a everyman and kind of a creep a bunch, which is intentional.

I hate these Star Wars characters in my Star Wars tv show IT JUST DOESN"T MAKE ANY SENSE! The entire premise of the show is a dude in Boba Fett's armor walking around visiting Star Wars planets with a baby version of another popular character the entire loving thing has been fanservice from the start.

DorianGravy posted:Regarding Game of Thrones, are there any TV shows with a strong ongoing plot that people were still super into after it ended? It seems like none of the big ones (Game of Thrones, Lost, Battlestar Galactica) can stick the landing, and I'm wondering if it's simply difficult to make a long ongoing plot satisfying after people have had years to speculate about it. Or maybe people lose interest simply because it's over? Farscape is as close as it gets for me.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, I think there's some deeply unsatisfying stuff in the series finale -- some of that's been covered dumping all tech because reasons, but I also thought the show dropped the ball on a handful of minor plotlines like Chief and Tory, or Baltar's cultists. Characters say they are angels of god all the time in shows/media, rarely is it actually 100% true

MokBa posted:I think the ONLY legacy sequel I’ve ever seen — be it television or film — that didn’t just feel like glorified fanfic was the new season of Party Down. And I think that mostly worked because the original show had such a specific (and inexpensive) tone that they were able to replicate. It just never really feels right, no matter how much effort and money go into it. Beavis and Butthead!
