amazon prime has all of the expanse, since jeff bezos doesn't understand that he is the antagonist and definitely not the protagonist who saved the solar system from death.

Fixed it for you.

Also Netflix has Altered Carbon which is in prod for season and all signs point to confusion plot wise. There are strong hints at elements of Broken Angels, but also a multi century, multi system treasure hunt for Quelcrist's copy :raise: Also Poe is somehow back, becoming some kind of wandering AI wordsmith looking for his humanity or something. I liked the character in the first one but I am really not sure about Kovac getting a scooby gang.

I mean, in real life there's apparently millions in cryptocurrency that cannot be used because the creator was the only one who knew the password and he's dead.

I assume you are talking about Quadriga? To the absolute surprise of nobody, those wallets were cleared out before he went on the run and got murderised.

I'm watching the first episode right now, my immediate thought is this is just a fantasy version of Defiance, which happens to be exactly the kind of trash I'm into.

My eyes almost rolled out of my head when the bosun said "It's the coastal batteries!" No poo poo mate, never mind looking to windward.

The first scene with the police chief has me sold.

It's a shame they did't steal borrow more of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, there is a campness to it, but without the humour. Still I'm only on ep.2.

My absolute favorite part about Aniara was that the ship interior really reminded me of Baltic Sea cruise ship. Perfectly executed production design.

So it wasnt filmed on a Baltic cruise ship?

I definitely liked it, but I thought it felt like diminishing returns and lost interest in the middle of season 3. It was never outright bad it just felt like it was starting to spin it's wheels and I just stopped caring and moved on .

Loved seasons 1 & 2, stopped watching mid season 3. It took a dive into the poo tbh.

Agreed there. The whole thing is difficult, opaque, largely humorless - but amazing. Season three wasn't terrible but just hit a limit with me. And for the first time, I stopped believing there was a logic behind it all - stuff was just happening.

Plus climate change is literally the thing that lets the aliens loose. The ice melts and the aliens defrost.

Which is strange because the inside of the ship wasn't frozen at all.

Very little about this movie made any sense at all. They didn't train the troops, including how to use a rifle or anything at all about their enemy or how to be a soldier, just threw them into the woodchipper without any actual goals.

Why didn't they kill the female after they got the 100% match? :effort:

Lest we forget The Terminator & Arya in The Chase. Or the teleporting armies. Or the rape of sansa, and her whoopsie forgot the knights of the Vale moment. Etc. 3 good seasons 1 decent season, piles of poo poo and a stinking turd.

Voyeurs - why does everyone talk like they have 3 marshmallows in their mouth

E: this is a deeply silly movie. 90s Shannon Tweed Skinemax style movie. Main actress has an absolutely insane body though.

E2: so does the male antagonist

E3: there's a much better version of this movie called The Shape of Things. Sadly not streaming though

Not sure the suggestion by lady voyeur to gent voyeur that they do it doggy style on the balcony while she watches camera dude cheat with a model, doing it doggy style, didn't raise a red flag larger than the soviet Union to gent voyeur. Sex is sex but come the gently caress on man.
