Seems like a bit of a bold move dropping those last eps on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and NYE.

Very much looking forward to it. Hopefully the Duffers deliver a really good ending. I know it’s not a popular opinion but I actually liked seasons 3 and 4 even more than the first two.

Cutting it into three parts is absolute nonsense
Aparantely, the episodes are going to be "feature film" length.
 
i've never watched cheers, but i've seen her in films growing up. i liked her. she seemed chill. she was the melissa mccarthy of the 90s, except better than her by miles lol. but you get what i mean? popular "i'm the bigger girl underdog that everybody loves". man i'm so sick of cancer taking everybody. but that's another conversation for another time.

Kirstie Alley will always be Saavik to me.

Interesting. Thanks. I think they confirmed eight episodes, no? So curious how they’ll break it up. Segments of 3, 3 and then the final two on NYE maybe.
 
Dept Q started out pretty well but the main character reminds me so much of Gary Oldman's in Slow Horses which made me turn off and return a couple of years later. At least he isn't a raging smelly alcoholic.

Criminal Minds has been pretty good 3 weeks in. Mobland finished on a blinder. Sirens 3 eps in has been great and looking forward to The Better Sister. Leverage is such a fun show I look forward to every week.
 
Dr Who spoiler.

So do we have the return of Bad Wolf, is Rose the next Doctor, is this an alternative timeline?
 
Just decided to try to watch Dr. Who. Watched a tiny bit of the Disney+ modern day one, then switched to the slightly older one on MAX with the mannequins moving on their own. I was expecting both to have some sort of catch you up to this version summary at the beginning. Search on Apple TV indicated there's some really old cartoon version on Pluto maybe. Don't know anything about this show except for barely anything from the Lego Dimensions video game.

If you're into modern day Who just watch David Tennant and if you're still on board Matt Smith.

David Tennant era to me was prime Who. I grew up hiding from Darlecks but of the reboots Tennant was the only one I really looked forward to every Saturday night.
 
Yeah, the Chief's sister is gorgeous. The show is filled to the brim with hot women, but it's the crazy action and strong characters/performances that will keep you hooked till the end.

The show had everything a person could love before the woke plague ruined so much.

Anyone watching Loudermilk? It has a lot of heart. It's about a guy (Ron Livingston - Band of Bros, Office Space) of who heads up an AA meeting. He's bitter former drunk living with his sponsor (Will Sasso) who takes in a young addict. They have a great cast, especially the guys in the AA group, which can get ridiculous. I'm really enjoying it.


As a devout TUBI user I have gotten into loudermilk. I can relate to a lot of the people on this show. The main character has some great dialogue. Will sasso is great too.

Stear clear of the new woke crap. It's awful. The old stuff is great fun. Bad but good category.
 
5 Episodes into Hellbound. A South Korean dark supernatural fantasy thriller. It is REALLY entertaining so far with a crazy premise. Certain people get a decree from an "angel" that they are going to die and be sent to hell on a certain date. Then on that date, crazy monsters come and beat the shit out of them and send them to hell. Is it God attacking sinners? Religious groups pop up, it's insane.

Do you mean the Disney+ modern show where I think the dude wears a skirt?

I tried to watch a really old Attack of the Daleks movie on maybe Pluto or Freevee and it looked too crude and old. I'm watching the one on MAX with the Doc Who who seems like bipolar drug addict and video quality is like DVD or worse.

Dr. Who was always diverse. But this takes episodes devoted to the struggles of being trans along with race and gender swapping. Even if you are ok with that, the show sucks plot wise so there is plenty of old Who to watch. Quality will always be suspect, that is the charm lol.
 
Official Trailer for Noah Hawley's ALIEN: EARTH; Premieres August 12 on FX/Hulu



Noah Hawley?

I'm suddenly incredibly excited.

Hawley himself confirmed that the series will be tied more into the style and mythology of the original 1979 film rather than the prequel films Prometheus (2012), and Alien: Covenant (2017).
 
After today's episode, Murderbot is kinda shit. Not really funny, not really interesting.
Nah. I thought it was going to be stupid, too, after the first few episodes. Had baby legs. Thought it was gonna be too hammy, too heavy-handed.

Nope.

This show is so much more damn addicting than it has any right to be. It ends far too soon ("half an hour you motherfuckers?! You're killing me!!!"), and I've found myself pining for the next episode all week.

Also, all the pro-woke people out there need to pay attention. You want to advance progressive causes? You want people to sympathize with the types of people who populate your ranks? Takes notes. You need shows like this, not that Kathleen Kennedy dogshit you've been putting out. That stuff gets Trump elected. This stuff quietly wins the hearts and mind of the younger generations taking it in.

This is one of the only shows that has that formula cracked like so many shows of yesteryear. And it's really quite simple. It doesn't preach or lecture. It doesn't exhaust us with Mary Sues. It just has a bunch of people who, despite their flaws, and whatever you as the viewer don't have in common with them, you naturally find yourself rooting for them anyway because they genuinely care for each other. Crazy little thing: love. There's no armor it can't penetrate.
