They were all terrible. Veronica probably should've dated Mac, Wallace, or Weevil

but I liked Piz the best

When the choices are Logan or Piz, choose the guy who can maybe get you in with Terry Gross, and not the one who looks like he's wearing a badly fitting Halloween costume when he's in his dress whites.

Dave Matthews Band came and showed violinists that they too could be in a rock or rock-like band; ska did the same for trombonists.

Fun fact, Dave Matthews Band no longer has a violinist. (He was a creepy sex pest and got fired a year ago)

I've watched an episode and a half, and it didn't grab me. I found the assassin lady aggressively sociopathic in a way that felt forced, but I might've been in the wrong headspace to enjoy the show.

Season 3, which was one giant court case p much.

That's nuts, Season 3 also had the occupation of New Caprica, Fat Lee, Exodus pt 1&2, Starbuck's death, the boxing episode, and that killer finale with the reveal of the final five and Starbuck's return.

The Cylons show up on New Caprica in the season 2 finale and it ends on the time skip. And to be fair, the occupation storyline was probably written before the strike happened.

I guess the radical reform faction of The Academy is seizing on the opportunity, because in addition to having no hosts, the Oscar broadcast has a hard cap of 3 hours and they're handing out "less popular Oscars" during the commercials.

I have a radical idea for making the Oscars go quicker. Ditch the dumb montages and go nowhere skits that seemingly exist just to give the show's creative staff something to justify their existence. Considering there isn't going to be a host this year this might actually happen.

Logline: Set in the summer after her high school graduation,18-year-old Nancy Drew thought she’d be leaving her hometown for college, but when a family tragedy holds her back another year, she finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation — and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined.

Anyway, outside of the comic book stuff Sci-fi/Fantasy isn’t really my jam anyway. I like some of the more low key cerebral sci-fi stuff and don’t typically ever watch any fantasy stuff.

Fury Road is a big loud action movie that also has depth. For my money it's the best action movie of the century and one of the all-time greats.

Knowing what I know about them it's probably a much more mundane "Jamie didn't want to be on TV anymore but Adam did."

That's pretty much it exactly. The Producers hit on the kids bust myth gimmick and approached Adam with the idea. He said yes because he's Adam, they asked Jamie and he said gently caress off I'm happy in my shop.

I also really liked Mythbusters Jr, it had a strong sense of continuity with the original show, the kids were good (including the 12 year old college sophomore majoring in astrophysics), and they got some really cool shots on top of that. Hopefully they do another season.

Just curious are there any books that are critical companions or go behind the scenes that anyone can recommend? I know there is a few SNL and Late Night ones I need to read.

There's Monsters of the Week: The Complete Critical Companion to the X-Files by Zack Handlen and Todd VanDerWerff. It's pretty good, I've been reading it alongside my rewatch of the show (side note: The Lone Gunmen have not aged well at all, when they were introduced and started rambling about the Deep State I almost threw my iPad across the room)

So the CW has that new show starting tomorrow, In the Dark, and apparently they're doing a real bad job of advertising it because everything I've seen through the CW App has been focusing on the main character and making it seem kind of a joke-y relationship show but apparently it is a murder mystery.

Travelers and Continuum are good followups after 12 Monkeys if you want more time travel. Though the time travel in those shows are a little more brutal since they don't have much humor. I think they all have a bunch of the same actors too.

Continuum was 12 monkeys, but good.

I don't know why because on paper 12 Monkeys is everything I like, but man did that show bounce off of me hard, like to the point where I almost, almost, think Diaz was the better Kirk Acevedo character.

See now I completely disagree. Jennifer Goines is a collection of quirks in search of a character. I think I've just grown tired of that whole type of "crazy but not really" character who only speaks in elliptical pop culture references, but no lie that character was a big part of the reason i didn't I didn't take to the show. I'll take Walter Bishop in the damaged genius category any day of the week.

You'd think the new Batwoman show would stream on DC Universe but nope it's going to be on the new Warner Media streaming service. Oh, and AT&T owns both Warner Media and DC Universe so this won't be confusing at all. It feels blatantly greedy when one company is running competition against itself and wants people to subscribe to multiple services. They own HBO and its own separate streaming service too.

There was a rumor going around a few weeks back when they cut short the first season on Swamp Thing that Warner was going to wind down DC Universe and fold it into the upcoming Warner Media streaming service, which they as a true competitor to Disney+ and Netflix.

That's also bad news for all the CW shows that are staying afloat because Netflix is paying big bucks for their overseas streaming rights.

Casting Beloved Character Actor Margo Martindale as the voice of Ma Beagle in the new Ducktales was such an inspired decision.
