Paul Simms was only 26 when he created Newsradio and he worked on the Larry Sanders show before that. Makes me feel like a piece of poo poo.

All these guys on long running shoes are supposed to live fory. I need them to live forever.

Medullah posted:Rewatched Fringe for the first time since it's initial run. That show made a ton of bold choices and has never received the celebration that it deserves. All the characters start out in a period of transition and don’t become their full selves for maybe half a season, and a ton of characterization is done by showing us alternate versions of them—older, younger, from over there, alternate-timeline over-there, etc. And they never soften the horror and shame of what Walter did to Walternate and his home. I kept expecting more to be revealed about why everything was hosed up over there, but it was 100% what Walter did. It’s amazing. AND they weren’t afraid to get goofy sometimes, like with Leonard Nimoy’s ghost inhabiting Olivia.

John Noble was the best part of Sleepy Hollow and Fringe. Period. In general, John Noble fuckin' owns.

Sleepy Hollow is definitely a show that got worse the further along it got. Season 3 started with a soft reboot and then had a weird thing where they kept doing flashbacks to Crane's time in the war but they dropped the actors who played his wife and the pre-headless horseman so somehow all of his stories never involved them anymore. Also seasons 1 and 2 were very much Christian apocalypse and then in s3 all of a sudden everything involves fake Sumerian.

And Fringe had the guts to drop poo poo when it wasn’t working. At the start of season two, they introduce a new fbi agent who’s interested in the fringe stuff and apparently studies ancient texts while doing her own secret stuff, but she never shows back up after the second episode. Then later the pretty good Kevin Corrigan shows up in a recurring role, has a fight with the main characters about something, and just fucks off for the rest of the season and is never mentioned again. Also Peter’s secret past and mysterious underworld connections, and a few convolutions in the chain that leads Olivia to meeting Leonard Nimoy at the end of season one seem like they got streamlined halfway through.

But I will never forgive them for not properly doing that Violet Sedan Chair vinyl scavenger hunt. I scoured every loving used record shop in Boston the day it was announced, including two in Walter’s neighborhood on the show where I thought maybe they’d be cute about it, and there wasn’t one to be found. Only two ever surfaced anywhere in the world, and there were supposed to be hundreds.

Ugly In The Morning posted:The one with Walter and Astrid was also a doozy. Rewatching it was great because you know that moment was coming. I loved when Alternate Astrid shows up and he calls her by the correct name. The look on Astrid Prime's face was classic. Near the end of season 3 when Peter gets hurt, Noble's "Peter!" and "He's my son!" is so heartbreaking. And while we're talking about mister Noble I have to of course mention his dual role in Legends of Tomorrow as both Mallus and also John Noble on the set of Lord of the Rings, as they have to capture his voice because he sounds so much like Mallus.

I think the Kevin Corrigan story had something to do with how an advanced humanoid race was wiped out by some world ending event? I guess it was already done in Assassin's Creed, Halo, Mass Effect, and a billion other games and books, but I was interested in that story.

I didn’t like the whole first people thing because that plot had been done so much, so I really appreciated that it turned out that all the first people stuff was things that a future Walter chucked in a wormhole because he knew he’d need them

IIRC Ken Jennings did some guest hosting earlier this year and he’s been the main guy rumored to take over when Alex retires or passes. I’d be okay with that. The guy’s a little bland but he seems like an okay dude. My personal pick would be LeVar Burton because he’s been doing education-related stuff for decades (not that a trivia game show is education-related per se, but you know what I mean), he’s got a great announcer type voice, and he’s a funny and charming dude.

Yeah I just finished Cursed. It's really really good. It's dramatic and clever, and has a lot of really, really good casting. It strikes me as one of those completely and totally unironic series, it that it has a sense of humour, but it never laughs at itself. The villains are incredibly smug and punchable, and the heroes are (with one, deliberate, exception) really cool and likeable people. I also love that it goes full on fantasy ham with its setting and world. It's vibrant and fantastic and there's a lot of really, really cool poo poo. It's also so, so obviously calculated so that every moment has maximum impact, and a lot of it is riffing on the most popular elements of Game Of Thrones. You've got a subplot full of schemers living in a castle, huge shocking deaths, a fantasy uprising led by a heroic young woman, at least two different kids who are out for personal vengeance, viking raiders led by a total Stannis, grimy realpolitik abutting with fantasy ideals... But I think it's clearly a lot more than that -- and I don't just mean because its actually willing to push the high fantasy elements, frequently and often. It never loses track of its emotional arcs, it's fast paced as FUUUUUCK, it carves out legitimately interesting spaces for the entirety of its massive, massive cast (the show doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word "minor character"), and the overall tragic structure of the narrative lends the entire thing a lot of emotional weight. You know the other shoe has to drop at some point, and that eventually the traditional Arthurian mythology is going to take over the plot, which means everything is that much more compelling, you know? So yeah. Watch Cursed. It's really really good.
