[quote="el oso" post="511290972"] His Dark Materials is very competent but its tone is just so dour. It's not like the books they were adapted from was a laugh riot.

I was really disappointed by the History of Swearwords. It's 0,1% historians saying "this is when the swearword was first used" and the rest is comedians talking about how much they enjoy using the swearword.

ruddiger posted:Uh, McNulty should’ve went to jail for the poo poo he pulled with the serial killer stuff, and the show never denies this. It also shows that McNulty's actions caused real harm as it inspired someone to commit real murders. McNulty "doing whatever it takes" is 100% presented as bad a thing.

Episode of six of Gangs of London is completely loving bonkers. The first couple of minutes I thought it was going to be a boring Darren centric episode with none of the actually interesting characters. And then poo poo starts escalating until two guys are literally vaporized in an explosion.

There better be some really loony clauses in that contract to navigate them out of an intentional breach in addition to acting in bad faith.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:I'm glad this is back. I wound up liking season 1 a lot more than I expected. Especially the finale, where a bunch of random people with guns funneled into a zombie-infested area was depicted as utterly chaotic and not remotely action-movie-tactical-cool, with all sorts of crossfire casualties. That's one of the things that made Black Summer so good. Anyone can die of a stupid mistake.

Mu Zeta posted:I love the idea of inoculuations. One of the grossest scenes in TV history is in John Adams where they take some oozing pus and inject it into children. And in the Knick where Thackery takes scabs, crushes them and then inject it into people. zoux posted:One of the best books I've read on the topic is Demon in the Freezer, about smallpox, and about 1/3 of the book is dedicated to kind of stupid weaponized smallpox prognosticating, but the rest is a really well written account of what smallpox has done to the human race throughout our history and describing the monumental feat of eradication. It never ends up on any lists of such things but the WHO and national campaigns to find and destroy every last endemic case of smallpox is one of humanity's great scientific and cooperative achievements. Smallpox was real bad. The sad thing is that diseases like polio and measles could also be eradicated bu too many people refuses to take the vaccines.

One of the funniest moments of 21 Jump Street was Channing Tatum trying to look cool by wearing his backpack on one shoulder only to realize that modern youths doesn't do that anymore because it's bad for your back.

CeeJee posted:Beforeigners season 2 is gloriously insane. I also like how Alfhildr is not the sensible one. It really feel like she's from another time in that she has different ideas about beauty standards and social conventions. In shows like Vikings for example all the women has perfect skin and remove their body hair unlike Beforeigners who shows that that would not be the case for women living in that era It is a little annoying that they couldn't come up with Norwegian title for the show though.
