    It’s too bad they couldn’t do the Year of Hell over a whole season like they wanted.

    voyager is largely very bad with some pretty good stuff in between and janeway is a multi-time war criminal

    oh no

    It’s, uh…

    So, obviously first seasons are typically low points for Trek shows. This one has not been particularly enjoyable 4 or 5 episodes in. With DS9 I wanted to keep going back to binge it, but now with Votager I just kinda feel like… “maybe I’ll watch another one to see if I start giving a shit?”

    I mean, at least they almost always get better, right?

    It is painfully obvious from the material that all the people who were super into exploring what you could do with Star Trek went to DS9 and all the mercenary writers who wanted to keep working went to Voyager.

    There were so many possible episodes for that spoiler that I'm almost dissapointed it was that one.

    I'd have put the single most racist Star Trek episode myself. It's also very stupid in other ways.

    Star Trek Picard and Voyager
    God I hope the FBI agent is actually the temporal officer from Voyager since it is the same actor. That would be a neat pull.

    Oh man I just figured out the abandoned show folks were alluding to

    And yeah you would have had to do prequel stuff because that series is never, ever, ever getting back together finished

    Also if you're doing prequel stuff you have more freedom to make it less bad, which is always a plus

    I really really liked that series until the second half

    Okay, I ducked out of Voyager and started Russian Doll. And I apparently went all this time without knowing anything about the show whatsoever, including the central premise, so that pilot hit pretty hard. So to speak.

    Oh, that's good. Because when it came out Netflix spoiled the premise and a big twist right in the front-page autoplay teaser

    Good god Patriot takes a hell of a dark turn from Season 1 to Season 2. It goes from kinda fun to kinda miserable, now I just want to hurry through the rest so it's over.

  • godmodegodmode Southeast JapanRegistered User regular
    Powered through and finished. I kinda wish I hadn’t known season 2 existed at all - the story had a pretty good ending at episode 10. Season 2 didn’t really add much to the plot IMO and lacked the humor that was present throughout season 1.

    Well, finished Russian Doll. Man, what a fuckin' show. So much great stuff in that season, but that final sequence is going to be something that sticks in my brain for a long time.

    I finally finished watching all of It's Always Sunny.

    Why did I not watch this until now. The first two seasons were kinda shaky, but once they found their feet is was so good.

    Even the odd episode where you think 'yeah, that want too far' you're still laughing.

    I want to see more of these degenerate sociopaths.

    You should watch AP Bio. Glenn isn’t quite playing Dennis, but he’s not that far off.

    Yeah we watched that during the binge.

    They were very similar characters, but Dennis is just so awful.

    They do film their pods, including the door bit (at 16.00 if the timecode didn't work):

    According to the signs up around my workplace, they made a spinoff series of the movie Blindspotting? And i guess are filming some of it in or near my work building?

    Hope this won't fuck up entry to the lab

    My roommate made us watch a video titled "the 25 most iconic moments from EastEnders" and like 40% of it was sexual assault. Now, I'm not going to say a show shouldn't address that as a plot point, but I do have to quibble with the idea that you should call those scenes "iconic"

    ... it does sound like a pretty solid encapsulation of most of Eastenders, though.
