    I thought Man In the High Castle was about a depressing alternate universe ruled by Nazis

    The commercial I just saw during Maisel revealed that it’s about a resistance using fantasy tech to travel to another universe (presumably ours) where the Nazis didn’t win?

    I had no idea there was a sci-fi angle and that’s way more interesting

    That can only lead to Nazis invading other universes.

    Interdimensional Nazis with fantasy tech are basically Daleks by that point, right?

    ....maybe they should keep looking for a third universe.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    Maybe they could find a universe where there were never any Nazis?

    Though it does lead to one of my favorite moments of Man in the High Castle season three:
    Nazi to Inter-dimensional Traveler as they wake up a prisoner: "Do you know where you are?"
    Traveler, voice dripping with the maximum amount of pure contempt: "Nazis."
    Nazi: "Um, yes we are Na..."
    Traveler: *Pops out of dimension*

    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.

    Pulpy as hell, but I had fun reading them when I was younger.
    Okay, okay, bad guys are technically not the nazis themselves, but rather a Carthaginian-descended authoritarian state who like to help give other authoritarian/fascist states in various world-lines (LIKE NAZIS) a leg up, then take over the power structure.

    Close enough

    So, uhhhhhhh, does Wynonna Earp get any better because that pilot is DIRE but I've heard people quite like the show.

    I only watched the first two episodes, but the second was drastically different. So might be worth giving it a few more episodes.

    There's a looooooot of shows with trashy pilots that I would have never wound up loving if I stopped watching at that point

    I like Van Helsing more tbh, but Wynonna Earp's still pretty good and I've quite enjoyed the last two seasons in particular

    A lot of times I don’t understand how a pilot earned a series because the quality of the pilot is so much worse than the subsequent episodes.

    Yeah, we were gonna tee up the next one eventually but it was bad enough to scare us into finishing Into the Badlands instead.

    There's bad pilots and then there's this which looks like it was made for 3 bucks and the first actors who showed up.

    I'm about 4 episodes into season 3 of The Americans and I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like they're doing something kinda different with the camerawork in this season.

    So far there have been a bunch of very pointed lingering long shots of characters, particularly Phillip.

    And then there's the
    extremely uncomfortable tooth pulling scene that was shot almost like some kind of emotional sex scene.

    I'm not sure if any of this is intentional, but I'm really digging it.

    So uh. Netflix.
    This backstreet girls show.

    Maybe you should have picked up on why nobody wanted the license.

    Like on top of being a transphobic mess it's hideous.

    Hey @Psykoma, here is my challenge to you: Identify the scene in the final season of Parks & Rec that almost made me break down crying.

    The trailer for Backstreet Girls made it look like it was going after some very low hanging fruit that nearly every person who has ever made a joke about idols has probably done even ignoring the transphobia.

    For me that is a trick question because the answer is the entire episode made me cry.

    Yeah I didnt even make it through the trailer. The sticky hand joke popped up I thumbs downed and watched a food show where one of the losers had a clod sore instead

    Jokes about fans jerking off to idols were probably old in 1980's Japan.

    It isn't the series finale.

    I was genuinely upset when Ron and Leslie first interacted.
    Don't think I've come across a break down crying scene yet though

    The original Dark Crystal features a scene where a muppet stabs another muppet to death with a knife.

    Dark Crystal was always terrifying.

    The best thing about Dark Crystal was that Farscape just straight up used Skeksis again.

    Well I mean they were probably not called Skeksis but they were for sure the same mechanical puppet skeleton and armature.
