    I saw a few of those. Only thing I recall clearly was the medieval LARPer guy who came in with a super crappy longsword that kept developing a severe bend halfway down and he kept having to wedge it against the floor and step on it to straighten the thing out.
    Katana boy had to do the same thing!!!

    I’ll say this about Forged in Fire: I’ve never seen a weapon made on the show BEND. Chip, yes. Crack, yes. Shatter, absolutely. But they don’t bend.

    My girlfriend’s never seen any Survivor, so we’re watching my old favorite seasons, so we watched the first one, then she wanted to see some of those people again so we watched All-Stars, and then she loved Rupert so now we’re watching Pearl Islands

    Rupert was the man. Finding that spearhead was pretty damn badass.

    ...shit, how long ago was that? I saw it live on TV when I lived with my parents, so guessing between 16-20 years now?

    1. Teenage Wasteland rules and I am happy when it is used in anything
    2. That trailer rocks and I'm intensely excited
    3. Having it set in the summer is a great choice for a change
    4. The theme of the main kids all becoming older teens and having other interests is a good choice

    In summary, I am pumped For This

    (the song is Baba O'Riley)

    I dunno about covering up Steve's amazing hair with a dumb hat though

    if i search youtube for teenage wasteland and I find it AND the lyrics basically say teenage wasteland over and over, the song is called Teenage Wasteland!!!!

    That Stranger Things trailer reminds me that the best part of Stranger Things is the characters and their interactions and it looks very fun

    And then theres another fucking upside down monster and I immediately lose all interest

  • ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    Wouldn't really be Stranger Things without the monster.

    I agree that it needs some kind of supernatural thing

    But I felt like they pretty much tapped the upside down in season 1 and was mostly bored by it in season 2

    give me another 80s supernatural pastiche with the same characters

    I'm over these goopy bullshit monsters

    I don't know. Just seems like they need to close the Upside Down story before they could move on to another one.

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    Episode 1 they fuckin close the hellmouth or whatever. Everyone's like "yay finally things can get back to normal" and immediately some new bullshit happens

    I loved Season 1 but Season 2's meandering nothing of a plot kinda soured me on the show so I'm gonna have to wait and see I think.

  • JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    It seems like a proper different monster at least and not just another Demogorgon

  • cursedkingcursedking Registered User regular
    Honestly I thought season 2 was better than season 1. Bob was an amazing addition to the cast, I thought everything they did with the original characters was awesome. I was super into it.

  • ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    The characters are why I'll watch this, they're great

    I just did not care about the plot in S2 basically at all

    It absolutely should not

    Stage steel tends to be thicker (as well as being blunted), it shouldn't be bending at all

    The way they papered over their obvious lack of story ideas with fun dialogue made me like the second season a lot more than the first one though

    Well cheap stage weapons anyway. I've not had any experience with good quality ones.

    Eh. I thought Stranger Things season two wasn't all that, save for a few good bits. I don't think I need to watch the third.

    One little thing I noticed in the trailer is it seems like Eleven and Max are hanging out together, which is neat.

    Not really feeling the need to watch any more.

    I decided to watch the Forged in Fire spin-off hosted by Goldberg

    It's basically American Ninja Warrior but with knives and the weirdos who wield them and sure enough the first contestant is a white dude from New York with a katana dressed up like a samurai who bows to everyone and says his sword FILLS HIS BODY WITH SPIRIT and that his sword was made by a Japanese smith living in China (made to the SPECIFICATIONS OF HIS BODY) because "you can't take sharpened blades out of Japan, they are considered natural treasures".

    He also says "HAI!" instead of "yes."

    The show itself isn't anything special but I am very happy they got that right out in front

    We spent the past two nights getting high and watching this

    A very recommended experience

  • akajaybayakajaybay Registered User regular
    I have definitely seen a few Forged in Fires where their final challenge blade comes out of a durability test with a wicked bend. Once at like 90 degrees.

    Oh nice, I was actually just wondering about this series earlier. It seemed almost too catered to me and figured it fell by the wayside.

    I tried watching this earlier this week and made it like five minutes

    it is ever so slightly too stupid for me

    regular forged in fire is exactly stupid enough

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah I tapped out after a couple contestants

    The challenges aren't goofy enough and I would much rather watch folks try and make something versus chop through ice 6 times in an episode
