Look at all you guys making GBS threads on dubs even though Comrade Detective was a perfectly fine show with dubs

Also the bad guys all had armor made of scrotum for some reason? That's the main thing I remember a year later edit: lol hell of a snipe. This was about the witcher, but you can just apply this to any show you're thinking of

Azhais posted:"I hope it's the Foo Fighters", words never spoken before or since I hate that some people I know still like them because it's only a matter of time before I can't contain myself and break their heart by telling them that the Foo Fighters regularly performed at 'HIV and AIDS have nothing to do with each other' benefit events

zoux posted:I bet you don't hate it as much as you say Eh, I have a friend with HIV who really likes them, and I really don't want to break her heart by bringing this up. And it's good to hear that they've changed their minds (it would be pretty atrocious if they hadn't by now), but it's also a long time since I cared about anything they did, so I wasn't really out there looking for updates on their politics

The second season of Snowfall couldn't really keep my attention (may have been due to external stuff), but I just zipped through the third, and I'm completely on board for the new one

To bring these two threads of the conversation together: Middleditch also has a bland sitcom right now, and it's so very nothingy. I expect to see more of those this year. Low risk, relatively cheap to make, no location work so covid precautions are easier

Grizzled Patriarch posted:I didn't see a recommendation thread so hopefully this is the right place to ask. She might like Victoria, the 3 season BBC show that started in 2016

Chubby Henparty posted:Not well connected, but made me think to ask: Did Strange Angel (birth of american rocketry/crowley sex cult show) go anywhere interesting? Which seems like a strange question given the setup but after a few episodes didn't really seem to be making the most of it. I liked it well enough. It's too bad that they won't get to explore the guy that showed up in the very last scene (L Ron Hubbard), and I think there'd also be more drama and intrigue to mine from German scientists coming to the US and the Cold War kicking off in earnest I actually like the fact that the occult wasn't really something that they dug into really deeply, and more treated as a somewhat faddish thing that people projected their own drama on. Interest in the occult came and went and had its own trends, and attracted people who were curious and willing to believe in lots of different stuff. Jack Parsons sounds like one of those people. Very curious, willing to dip into whatever well of ideas presented itself to him from rocketry to pacifism and Crowley to zionism. And I'm sure he was convinced of his true belief in all of them, and that his sex cult stuff had great occult value

Chairman Capone posted:If that interests you, I'd recommend the book The House of Rumour by Jake Arnott. It has a few plots at once but one of them is the 1930s West Coast sci-fi scene with Parsons, Heinlein, and Hubbard, and another storyline involves Crowley and Ian Fleming, and it covers stuff like the Contactees, Posadists, Jonestown eventually, Cuban Revolution, UFO coverups... really great 20th century conspiracy/occult/sci-fi book. That sounds interesting, thanks!

Digital Jedi posted:A while back I posted about QAnon Anonymous Podcast episode going over how batshit crazy Jim Caviezel is. While he apparently has gone even crazier now He's turning into his character from Deja Vu, but he thinks he's turning into his character from The Passion of the Christ
