I don’t actually think they’re aware, a few go along with it but she’s not that well known and I bet the BBC just arranged the interviews saying it was for a documentary.

And yeah I’ve had 2-3 times where I just felt plain bad for the interviewee (when she’s being kinda rude to them) but I felt they worked well otherwise.

So the HBO MAX Green Lantern show that we've been waiting on for years is cancelled, and instead we're getting a completely different Lantern show?

Cunk is an amazing character. I hate the interview segments though, so much sympathetic embarrassment for me. Her performance is hilarious and the voice over bits and documentary parody are dead on, but goddamn I cringe into a ball watching her talk to actual experts. I know they are aware it's a joke and no one is being mocked or actually embarrassed, but it just makes me so tense to see.

Edit: Even through the immense discomfort "So King Arthur came a lot, didn't he?," absolutely floored me laughing.

Every time one of the characters in the flash-sideways got their remembrance montage I turned into a blubbering mess. Especially with Sun/Jin and Sawyer/Juliet.

IIRC this type, where the audience knows who the murderer is and the question is how the detective is going to figure it all out, is called a "Howcatchem."

It'd be awesome to finally get that big-budget superhero horror movie that Marvel occasionally made it sound like Doctor Strange 2 would be.

Columbo from Columbo and his deviation is the key to his success; all the murderers underestimate him because he seems to be a slob/bum/clown/bumbler and yet, as slovenly as he appears to be, his mind is like the clockwork of a swiss watch.

I've had this since last year and it's a bit disappointing. Not a lot of content and new episodes arrive weeks after their American premieres.

EDIT: and subtitle support is weirdly sporadic. I understand that Danish subtitles aren't always available but half the Star Trek TNG episodes don't have English subtitles. I'm fairly sure those have existed for decades.

seriously. the well has run dry. when. I can't believe there are people who keep wanting to know more about Superman after it's been told again and again and again and again.

The shows that I absolutely enjoy are the ones that had me from the start. I am slow to start and I always miss the trends, so after years of dismissing Naruto as "kid stuff," I tried it out a few weeks ago and have already gone through 100+ episodes.

I know what I like better than anyone. People recommend these newer shows to me all the time, but they never bother to understand what I like as an individual. So, I will watch a few minutes, or one episode, but my joys in life are so specific to me that it doesn't take hours for me to know if I am enjoying myself.

I am the same with video games.

Who really finds being gay or lesbian strange anymore?

I wonder if it was because of Covid restrictions her and her being American. I can imagine going back and forth for shooting would make that difficult. Everyone else already lived in Europe or had the very least, a base in Europe.

I give credit for making a clickbait title with an actual well written article to back it up. However, this reads like episode 3 being well done is a weakness rather than a strength. I had no idea where the story would go. I didn’t know they would end up lovers until the piano scene. I didn’t know if there’d be betrayal, heartbreak, or if the raiders would get them. I didn’t know if they’d both make it. Yet you’re rooting for 2 people in an apocalypse regardless of the morbid possibilities.

If someone tells you, “that’s been done before”, you tell them, “Well, I haven’t done it before”. No ones gonna deliver the same idea in the exact same way, especially in a collaborative work. I’m glad we got the episode that we got.

Shit like this gets a second season because older people just leave their tvs on all day, but then actually good shows are cancelled because the budgets too high. Womp Womp.

Is the booster gold show the same with Xolo Madrisomethoing (I forgot his last name)?

Edit: nevermind, I got confused with blue beetle 😅

Not only that but it took the spirit of The last of us and really highlighted it. Finding a light in the darkness. You can’t change the world, all hope for that is lost but you can find a light that makes it warmer. It was absolutely beautiful

/s because there's huge controversy surrounding it, a lot of homophobia going on, some calling it the best episode on tv in the last year, and a lot of people calling it a great story told, but hardly the most entertaining episode ever on tv.

I think the fact that it did take up so much time is explicitly why it detracts from it.

For the majority of the hour we totally lost the plot and were watching something else. Maybe if they actually inserted some apocalypse into that hour it would have detracted less, but if you photoshopped the fence out of the background maybe five minutes of the whole thing still would have had anything to do with the setting and events of the show at large.

As someone else in another thread had said, you could've swapped the setting to a cabin in the remote woods instead of the fungus apocalypse and literally nothing else would have had to been changed about the whole flashback. It's like the whole apocalypse never happened for the entire flashback, it barely impacted them at all, and the one time it directly did (the raiders) they used it as a fake out two seconds later and surprise! Bill is totally fine from that gut shot while Frank is now dying of a terminal illness and they lived happily ever after.

Like there's a compelling love story being told here, but it sure as shit didn't have a thing to do with "The Last Of Us." beyond cribbing the setting and vague ideas of a couple minor characters then doing literally nothing relevant with either.

I don’t watch a lot of contemporary tv bc the constant action scenes and just scene changing in general is too much for me to keep up with. I found this episode incredibly refreshing and able to hold my attention. Maybe other people are also craving a slower pace.

It comes from all angles too. The sons, all the melodramatic shit with the lang family. After watching it, I was baffled to see people praising it.

I'm currently re-watching the Wire, and I'm just about done with the second season. I'm really stoked for the third and fourth seasons. It doesn't get much better than that.

I think the thing that made it notable in a series that is known for being pretty stark and not very uplifting is that ultimately Bill and Frank won. The audience already knows that Joel is a person who has no hope for anyone, let alone himself. He's a survivor who's walled himself off from nearly everyone around him. He doesn't even think twice about justifying killing Ellie when he points out to Tess that she's gonna have a shit future anyway and he's probably doing her a merciful deed.

Bill did what Joel has failed twice at. But Bill showed that it can be done, and people can still win. One of the final scenes where Joel asks to see Ellie's bite again is him looking one more time before he lets himself make a leap of faith. And none of that would have been possible without seeing that Bill and Frank not only carved out something functional, but something that they clearly both loved.

Game of Thrones aired at 9pm on Sunday nights. I am pretty sure Silicon Valley played afterwards at the 10 slot. Did VEEP air simultaneously with them or at a different time during the year?
