    I've been trying to frame this comment in a way that doesn't sound shitty, and all I can really say is that I don't like Roseanne because I grew up poor, and watching that show reminds me that there are different kinds of poor, and that watching Roseanne reminds me of my cousin's shitty cousins, who were the kind of poor that made me contract ringworm from sleeping over at their house once.

    That still sounds pretty shitty, but that's about as good as I can do.

    I am still sad about the missed Cheers reference on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

    In the episode where Kelsey Grammer plays the Starfleet captain from the past that destroys the Enterprise over and over, they originally were going to have Kirstie Alley standing behind Grammer on the bridge as Savek. However apparently scheduling issues prevented it.

    The Coen Bros' Western TV show "Ballad of Buster Scruggs" starts filming in Albuquerque next month

    Brief synopsis of the drama/comedy:
    The stories of six individuals weave together in the old West at the end of the Civil War.

    No word on cast or even station/service it'll be on yet

    Tracking-Board has cast info finally
    Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Stephen Root and Ralph Ineson are nearing deals to star in the Coen brothers’ ambitious TV project THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS, the Tracking Board has exclusively learned.

    Annapurna Television is backing the omnibus series, which will be comprised of six segments, each featuring different characters.

    Spoiling plot stuff just in case anyone wants to go in blind
    As first reported by the Albuquerque Journal, the segments are as follows:

    “The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs” follows
    a singing cowboy.
    The Tracking Board has learned that Tim Blake Nelson will play the title character.

    “Near Algodones” is about
    a high-plains drifter whose own fecklessness dogs his attempts at bank robbery and cattle driving.
    We hear James Franco, Stephen Root (The Ladykillers) and Ralph Ineson (The Witch) will star in this one.

    “Meal Ticket” follows
    an actor and impresario of a traveling show.

    “All Gold Canyon” is about
    a prospector who happily finds a gold seam but then unhappily finds an evil encroacher.

    “The Gal Who Got Rattled” follows
    two trail bosses on the Oregon Trail and a woman on the wagon train who needs the help of one of them and who might be a marriage prospect for the other.
    We hear Zoe Kazan (The Big Sick) will play the titular “gal.” Her publicist did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    “The Mortal Remains” follows
    five very different passengers on a stagecoach of mysterious destination.
    We hear Tyne Daly (Spider-Man: Homecoming) will star in this one.

    I can't believe you all were talking about best tv dads and Goku didn't come up once.

    Well I dont have all night but Goku is such a bad dad in super his 6 year old son has come to terms with the fact that his dad is a fight crazy lunatic who only has the faintest affection for his family. He even seems a bit depressed.

    Vegeta though. He stepped the fuck up .

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Well sure, Goku never grew up and was basically tricked into marriage by Chi Chi. It makes sense he's a shitty Father and Husband.

    I am conflicted on Castlevania.

    I want to watch it, but I fucking hate Konami with the latest news of how they have been treating Kojima's team.

    Mmmmrgghhhhh.

    Just watch it, Konami was paid once at the beginning. They don't get paid again whether you watch it or not.

    And as a Castlevania fan, it is a ton of fun and reminds you why you like this property. Whip fights! Monsters with crazy powers! Magic ladies! Swag vampires! etc

    I tried watching Marvel's Iron Fist.

    Now, I like the tv show Arrow, so I'm not entirely unopposed to enjoying "Rich White Man problems: The Show" style series, but after two episodes of this hipster coded white man spouting Himalayan monk based mysticisms to random strangers and I had to tap out.

    What worse is the first few episodes are the highlight of the season. It's all downhill from there.

    Coming on the heels of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, Iron Fist was a massive letdown.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    You didn't miss anything. It carries on like that, and you'll eventually realise with horror that the show thinks you like Danny Rand and hope he gets what he wants.

    Goku has canonically never kissed his wife. They have two children.

    From what I've seen of Super, it's half about how terrible a person Goku is to his family.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    I stayed up until stupid o'clock Saturday watching GLOW. Got through about half the season. What a super fun show (assuming it stays this light-hearted). It definitely feels like someone made A League of Their Own into a TV show and it's pretty wonderful.

    DB Super best ending is Gohan and Vegeta fighting Goku who turned full heel to get the "best possible fight" out of the strongest people he knows: his friends and family.
