Instead let's discuss new fall TV! It's finally coming! The return of shows! The beginning of new classics! Some shows that will last 3 episodes!

Atlanta!
Son of Zorn!
Timeless!
The Good Place!
Downward Dog (how this one got made I have no idea but you know I set my DVR to record it)

American Gods is coming next year I think?

Who did Negan kill in The Walking Dead finale? Do we really care that much? If it's not one of the main MAIN characters I'm going to be disappointed.

When did the new Twin Peaks come out? Soonish I hope.

I did a ton of research in making this OP. Please respect that.

    Watch a trailer for Downward Dog. You'll be too perplexed as to how that show got greenlit to be angry.

    SNL has added 2 new cast members, including Chris Redd AKA "Hunter The Hungry" in Popstar, that wonderful movie you didn't see

    Downward Dog is midseason, I believe. Just started shooting yesterday. I was in the pilot last year, but I doubt you'd be able to see me

    The webseries it's based on is interesting enough that I could see why they liked the concept. Not sure about expanding it to a full show though, don't think it lends itself to that

    But I mean I'm still trying to get cast anyway

    ...I'm not stupid

    But she's the daughter of Abraham Van Helsing (resurrected in a post apocalyptic future), so her surname should be Van Helsing!

    I was looking at a list of interesting horror movies from 2015 and then I spent a half hour trying to find any of them before it became clear that I had been looking at a list of fake movies created to make people do exactly what I did

    Now what do I do

    Re-watching Eureka for the first time in like... probably close to the original release on DVD.

    Still holds up, and Jo is still the best character.

    Oh another thing I just thought of with Stranger Things.
    Why is the CIA so sloppy? They could have killed Hop and make it look like suicide just as easy as with the diner owner, and when they went to the Wheeler house trying to catch Eleven they didn't even set up a perimeter they just parked in the cul de sac and walked towards them in a big clump! Also a small town cop keeps sneaking up on them and sucker punching them.

    I think that since they bugged him, they were trying to use him to track Eleven or any other relevant information in town. They didn't need to do that with the diner owner because they presumably just confirmed Eleven''s location with him.

    Yeah that makes sense.
    But with as easily as he found the bug you'd think they'd just get rid of him. Or shadow him better besides just bugging his home.

    Pretty sure the whole black ops group was all controlled by the head science guy and since most of them got killed in the school the government was like, "fuck whatever, this science guy was kinda doing his own thing anyway"

    Killing the diner owner was a heat of the moment call on someone they assumed they could get rid of with no muss or fuss.

    Hop, meanwhile, is the chief of police, who might have left all kinds of "In case I die" around, aside from the fact that, well, people ask questions when a person in that position karks it. Instead, they planted booze and pills, made him look unreliable, and tapped his house so they could keep an eye on him.

    Only he didn't act like they planned, and everything fell apart. After, well, he agreed to shut up, and frankly keeping things quiet was the priority. As for sucker punching, he's a Everyman Hero. It comes with the territory.

    The clump was dumb, though.

    Atlanta is almost too good at hitting the very real existential dread you feel as black male millennial
    Existing in between two worlds with your white/college friends in one and your poc friends/family etc on the other.
    The very American need to succeed, stable, and independent to feel like a "Man"
    Coupled with the need to be those things because you kills you let white people see you fail in that very specific way

    And how moving between those worlds where the stakes of failure feel so much different

    And how when your a nerdy charismatic person of color you let things slide because that's how you have learned to survive, but it eats at you.
    And seeing how your white so-called friends behave around black people that aren't you

    Better Things was...weird

    I like what it's getting at, but the first episode feels like a series of very loosely connected YouTube shorts, and they're on an autoplay playlist, and the autoplay cuts about 5 seconds too soon every time

    Watched a preview of Son of Zorn after the football games last night.

    It's stupid... Really stupid but I wasn't expecting anything more. However, there's some potential there. I'm going to give it a shot.
