    This is the era of flatscreens.

    So your television weighs... what, 40lbs max?

    TV Shows I've enjoyed recently:
    Warrior
    Aggretsuko Season 2 (Just started last night)
    Killing Eve
    Old episodes of Anthony Bourdain's shows

    My Venture Bros. season 7 blu-ray came the other day and it has been helpful to remind me both that that season happened and was REALLY GOOD

    I watched half of the pilot of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and had to back out because I was not prepared enough to watch so many terrible decisions happen

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom Registered User regular
    I don't know why but two episodes in this season of Pose is already hitting me harder than the first one

    I'm really glad this show exists

    oh boy you ain't seen nothing
    though at some point the terrible decisions stop being Rebecca's and start being the showrunner's.

    Oh, I'm aware of what's coming, that's part of why I backed out. This might be a weekend show, rather than a "relax after work show"

  • tynictynic PICNIC BADASS Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Season 1 is fremdschamen the whole way down. Season 2 is a lot more balanced and has some of the best songs, I'd definitely recommend sticking with it up to that point.

    I don't think I can handle a Ryan Murphy show being actually good

  • Rorshach KringleRorshach Kringle that crustache life Registered User regular
    he has multiple legitimately good shows:

    feud
    american crime story
    pose

    Season three has the best songs but is really uneven plotwise.

    I think season four is pretty solid though.

    The Terror is such brilliant, understated TV. It might also be the most stressful viewing experience I've ever subjected myself to.

    Pose earned Ryan Murphy so much good will. If you haven't watched it, you need to

    Republicans are shocked by what is going on with the concentration camps.

    Wait, no. They're shocked that someone called them concentration camps.

    Was not expecting a Finn reference in the current season of The 100, but here we are. Mostly because most of Clarke's memories are about how she hates herself and the decisions she's made apparently.

    ALIE is always fun, though.

    First black trans woman to sign an overall deal with a major streaming service. Janet rules and has done great work on Pose, last year (in what was personally my fav episode of the first season, Love Is The Message) she also became the first black trans woman to write and direct a TV episode

    The long-gestating “Wheel of Time” TV adaptation has finally found its lead. Rosamund Pike cast been cast as Moiraine, a member of the powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, in the Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television co-production. Based on Robert Jordan’s best-selling fantasy novels, “The Wheel of Time” is set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only certain women are allowed to access it. The story follows Moiraine as she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, a powerful individual who will either save humanity or destroy it.

    Hollywood Reporter says Pike's also being credited as a producer on the show

    Yes, good, now focus on Moiraine for the entire time and forget the Rand exists and we'll be all set.

    Whelp Amazon's made the first casting announcement fir wheel of time. They cast a tall light haired white lady to play moiraine... my disappointment should be palpable.

    Tall and light haired I get but was she not white in the books? Honestly I wouldnt be surprised as I missed that various whole nations and the Seanchan were supposed to be black.

    moiraine is cairhien nobility, she's white as they come in those books

    that said there's no reason that has to be true for the show, her background is largely irrelevant

    The hard part is going to be sourcing 80s Christopher Lloyd to play Thom Merrilin

    The Cairhienin, of which moiraine is royalty, are of a seemingly Asian descent. The seanchan are at best olive skined,but a bunch are like super duper white if I remember correctly. The sea folk are black, it took me a long time to piece that one together, but i started reading when I was in like 6th or 7th grade and didn't catch it till I did a reread in college after finding out more books had been written.

    Yeah I'd take that. The two rivers and andor in general are a little crypto English fantasy island in the middle of a bunch of not that. People totally miss that fact because the story starts there and people carry that vibe for the rest of the story when it should be ditched the moment you set foot in the ways.

    I don't even know what to do with thom cause not only do they need to look like sam elliott they need to be able tumble like tom holland.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    I think they can play up his age a bit and cut out the tumbling if they really need to

  • Rorshach KringleRorshach Kringle that crustache life Registered User regular
    you should always be annoyed when a white person is cast in anything, imo

    His important role is being Merlin so the tumbling is just a thing I really want, i mean that's kinda what stunt performers are for.
    also the oratory skills are far more story relevant
