I see lost in space season 3 dropped, is that still "people not talking to each other: the series" or is there something worth watching (I couldn't work up the energy to watch 2)?

I mean, it's the final season. So, you either have it in you to watch the last 8 hours or so of a show or not. Doesn't have to be a huge decision. It's very pretty at least.

I honestly didn't know Lost in Space S2 had come out, so hearing that S3 is out was pretty surprising. The only thing I remember from season 1 was that Molly Parker played the mom, Parker Posey was Dr. Smith, and the robot was actually an alien and a lot of people online wanted to gently caress it. Also I think their ship went into the ocean at one point?

Lost in Space is weird because season 1 to 2 felt like they completely lost the series outline and scrambled to make something up. Season 1 feels like they're building up something with the robots, and then S2 doesn't move it forward that much. Problem with those "mystery box" plot points means they can only stretch it out so much before you're out of material and just shoving in melodrama.

coronatae posted:Mine is that Shauna is totally pregnant and will have the baby in the wild and somehow the baby will stay behind when they're rescued and THAT'S who's sending the postcards There’s still a lot of unknowns, but I suspect that first part is correct. surely Jackie will learn before (if) she dies We still know that someone is watching them in the woods. My money would be on some sort of deliverance style situation involving a few deep woods rednecks. Maybe it could explain where some of them wind up in the future, because you know there will be at least one surprise reveal of an adult who we assumed dead. Could totally see a situation where the Irish one willingly joins a hostile redneck society.

Wait what to the huh? I’m not saying the first part isn’t true, it could be, but what evidence do we have? We know someone was around because cabins don’t generally emerge from the ground and we saw the dead body and there was the creepy glyph, so there being people around is highly possible, but I don’t remember anything pointing to it necessarily being true that they’re being watched. Like don’t get me wrong, hosed Up Hillbilly Cult Worshipping Dark Forest Gods is my working hypothesis as of right now, I’m just keeping an open mind as we get more information. So if you noticed something I didn’t, please tell me. And literally no clue who you mean by “the Irish one”. Typo? Does Van have red hair? None of the characters really scream “Irish” to me.

And then the baby somehow gets left behind still alive If this show ever gets its own thread I'm setting up a Hall of Shame post to showcase the dumbest theories I've seen.

Chandler’s gonna hunt those girls for sport. “Could you be any more murdered?” (Please someone make a thread.)

Open Source Idiom posted:Yellowjackets I agree the Lynskey affair plot is weak, but it's Melanie Lynskey so I don't care. She's awesome. I think I need to do a rewatch though, I mustn't have been paying much attention. I have no idea why Ricci and Lewis have been doing what they're doing beyond "we were sent a postcard". Also, just to confirm, is Lynskey's husband in the current timeline the same guy she cheated with in the first episode as kids? The reporter/author asking questions is a different character to Taissa's wife yeah? Looten Plunder fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Dec 2, 2021 |

Xiahou Dun posted:Wait what to the huh? I'm assuming the glint they notice from the lake was from a set of binoculars or something. Unless the glint was a reflection from a window or something, but from my experience a reflection of sunlight in the distance= a scope. Also, upon a quick rewatch, it appears to be moving and swelling a bit, so it seems unlikely to me that it was from a fixed object. Maybe I'm missing something? Also yes, I was referring to the ginger girl. Back in the first episode I thought she had an Irish accent and my wife thought I was insane. It seems unlikely that she is actually Irish lol

Mu Zeta posted:I've watched 3 episodes and I quit. It's just boring and I still don't know what the stakes are. I also quit Arcane and Cowbow Bebop halfway through them so maybe I'm a curmudgeon. I'm planning to give Arcane another shot after being turned off by the single-mindedness dourness of its plotting. Hoping the middle three eps turn it out around. But I am absolutely perplexed by ppl here touting it as the best show going right now. Hawkeye also turned me off after the first 2 eps, but I'll try the 3rd one to see if they turned it around ...eventually

I’ve watched the first six eps of Arcane. It’s so goddamn pretty, but the storytelling/characters are all really predictable and cliched. It’s extremely competent but doesn’t really excel in any way other than the insane visuals. I have someone on Facebook who was talking about how Jinx is such a complex and nuanced villain, and she just, like, isn’t!

It is very cliché for sure, but I’ll give it a little more credit than that, since it does execute on its narrative arcs really well despite this. I think there’s a place for simple stories that go for style and emotion over substance - and for that I think it does a very good job. My main problem with it is that some of the themes are a bit messy and unresolved by the end, mostly because they’re setting up the second season.

I didn't think Arcane was all that. The last few episodes in particular made a lot of unconvincing narrative leaps of logic. It's not tightly plotted enough to be a plot show, and the characters are shallow as a puddle.Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Goddamn that Chucky Finale was great Keen to watch. This show isn't high art, but I enjoy the poo poo out of it anyhow. Jennifer Tilly is so good in it too. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Dec 2, 2021 |

Finished the Chucky finale. Not sure when this was filmed, but I suspect covid affected actor availability very suddenly. Still pretty good though, and very funny. Jennifer Tilly is living her best life. LionArcher posted:do we know where it will drop? Hulu? Netflix? I'm waiting to binge it. I suspect it'll be Peacock, but who knows TBH.

If it lands anywhere, it will likely be Peacock, but more than likely it will just live as OnDemand content for those two networks perpetually (like Killjoys). It's the whole reason why the cancelled the expanse. If you want to watch it, either bum a sub to youtubetv or something or buy the season for $20 at your favorite outlet. It's well worth it.
