Chopped is like 30% of the reason I still have Hulu and I have zero interest in subbing to yet another streaming service for it. I hate this constant “we gotta have our own app!” bullshit. Can’t wait for half of them to fail and eventually fold their libraries back into the big services.

Now that Alex’s actor is a sex pest and Bobbie hasn’t had much to do this season, I nominate Amos for Best Expanse Character This Season Thus Far. I was a little iffy on the premise of the Roci crew being so split up this season, but they’ve really made it work. The only plot I don’t really care about is Naomi’s, but that’s mostly because I can’t stand her son or Marco. Drummer seems a little underutilized as well, but that’s a tiny complaint and it looks like she’s about to have her plot folded into the larger arc of the season.

The little character beats on Sopranos are often the best part of the show. The characters are all terrible people but they’re so loving funny.

Modern multi-cam sitcoms have zero defining traits or style, so if the gimmick extends long enough for a pastiche of 00s-20s shows I’d expect a single-cam The Office kind of thing instead.

Is there a place you buy the coffee mugs they use on The Expanse anymore? Back when it was still on Syfy I swear they sold versions printed with the MCRN logo in the official store, but I’m probably misremembering. I really want that frosted white/clear one with the Roci nose art that Holden used in the latest episode.

For comedy? Always Sunny seasons 2-10. Or maybe the original (pre-Comedy Central) run of Futurama, I can't decide. For drama? Mad Men. Genre stuff? DS9. All four had perfect casts with great chemistry, which imo is the most important thing to nail for a show. Even the best writing can't carry a series if the cast isn't up to par. edit #99: also Space Ghost Coast to Coast just for having such a heavy hand in determining my own weird sense of humor as a kid Big Mean Jerk fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Jan 25, 2021 |

You hear him weakly say a few garbled words over comms and then it cuts to him just silently bleeding from his nose. If I didn’t know better I’d say they just cut whatever scene was originally shot and cg faked a quick death. It really sucks for the character, but that’s the price you end up paying when the actor turns out to be a predator.

CBS really has the most boring rear end homogenous lineup. Say what you will about Disco or Picard or Lower Decks, but at least they aren’t yet another navy and beige procedural or flatly lit sitcom. I’ll happily take spinning cameras and cg nightmares over the network tv equivalent of McDonald’s coffee.

I mean The Office, one of the most popular sitcoms of the last two decades, premiered 16 whole years ago and she wrote for and starred in it from the beginning. Not to mention having her own (self titled!) show after that. It’s not as if she’s some fresh upstart nobody.

I’m finally watching Cobra Kai now that it’s on a real streaming service and uh... it’s kinda great? I mean it definitely looks cheap and it’s not going to win any awards for production design or cinematography but the characters are sympathetic and some of the kids are genuinely funny, which is way more than I ever expected for a Karate Kid show centered around “that one douchebag teen villain from the original”.

For a while Halo was actually a decent sci-fi media franchise. The Bungie games are solid-to-great, the Eric Nylund books are decent, and they did an anime anthology that got real weird and abstract with the mythology. Then the license was handed off to 343, Microsoft’s in-house Halo group made from Bungie scraps and has-beens, and it’s just been generic and mediocre ever since. The only good thing to come out of 343’s Halo series is the Greg Bear novel trilogy, and that’s mostly because they’re set in the distant past and almost completely disconnected from the rest of the novels. I mean they brought in Karen Traviss of all people to write a bunch of books.

I had a couple friends who were just generic rear end in a top hat troublemakers who used to make smoke and stink bombs at home and use them in middle school. This was immediately post-9/11 and I don’t think they ever caught a reprimand because they were never caught. And that’s despite one of them constantly bringing airsoft guns in his backpack and showing them off in homeroom. Texas! We kinda pariah’d him in high school and I haven’t spoken to him in well over a decade, but I’m pretty sure airsoft kid went on to become a marine.

Khanstant posted:I like The Mick. It reminds me of AP Bio without the redeeming kids, or rich-family-IASIP since every character is irredeemably bad and it's fun to see bad things happen to them. I just finished a Mick rewatch and I’m angrier than ever that it was cancelled. There’s only one or two mediocre episodes in the whole show and the entire cast was really firing on all cylinders in season 2. They didn’t even shop it around to other networks/streaming! They just killed it! You can’t even hope for a revival because the two boys have already aged out of the roles.

I liked the first two seasons a lot, but I gave up in season 3 because Tandy became so incredibly unlikable and never learned any lessons or changed. It was a real chore to watch towards the end.

Jimmy gets hosed up so often on the show and every single time it’s still incredible. The Mick in general is like someone made an entire show with the same energy as Dee taking a header into the car door on Always Sunny. I would happily trade any future IASIP season for just one more Mick episode.
