The scene where Tatum goes to his ex-wife's house was shot right outside my neighborhood. Wish I'd walked over there and told Soderbergh to trim this thing by about 20 minutes.

As someone who was growing up in that era and was an avid fan of both PC gaming and Console gaming the lack of a consistent, PC/Home Computer defacto system makes it hard for the collective conscious to get around and stick with the public’s mind. Because while one person is playing Kings Quest in black and white CGA…

A couple of people are saying that they’ve not seen the Blast Processing ad from Sega, so here:

I grew up as a Sega kid. Had the SMS, was the first kid on the block with a Genesis (with my own money, no joke). I never heard of this “blast processing” before I heard about this doc coming out. I’m gonna watch this regardless, but I’m interested if it brings up the TurboGrafix-16. Don’t even get me started on that.

Ok, but after skimming two reviews now I must still ask: IS THIS SHOW ANY GOOD?

This article fails to mention the rather significant fact, per The Hollywood Reporter, that the show runner had been replaced and the series was being retooled for season two. ABC looked at their treatment for the new version, didn’t care for it, and decided to cut their losses. This was already a bubble show and the…

I couldn’t get through it. I stopped with about 5 episodes left. I like these people, but I don’t like anything they’re doing.

When the show was renewed (just this March), I think the speculation at the time was due to COVID networks were going to be limited in their ability to develop and shop new shows, so they were being much more open to renewing shows they otherwise wouldn’t have, in order to just have a stable of shows that were already…

Just gonna remind everyone that there was a comic tie-in to 2001: A Space Odyssey written and drawn by Jack Kirby.

It’s obviously the big external threat, and tied to the sudden mystery of the planet....That was not mysterious for 12 years. But the show seems to want to slow walk it and make it the Smoke Monster.  The ragman is kid sized, so it’s either an ewok or a kid, thinks me.

I think it was because the show basically blew it off as well. The trap that hit the redshirt’s eye was a giant obvious rope at eye height that ONLY a person wearing a blinding helmet would miss.  Then everybody on the show shrugs and takes a nap.  Weird.  Strange beats on this show.

Some thoughts on this

I wanna know about Marcus and Sue as well. Are they atheists that faked joining the church so they could escape? Are they ex-church members that were banned/excommunicated? Deserter androids that don’t know they’re androids? Just poor people that wanted a way out?

Have not watched episode 5 so I can comment. This show is getting weird.

“ I am not mad at the new Star Wars movies, just disappointed in how they turned out”.

I’m mad, or maybe just so very disappointed the intensity of it feels like being mad.

They had every advantage possible, access to any talent they wanted to make a trilogy in one of the most beloved franchises ever...and they didn’t…

Yeah this all feels like one of MattPatt’s Game Theories. Outside of them both having androids that bleed milk there is very little in common with Raised by Wolves to the Alien franchise.

I totally agree—I just wish that if anything they’d leaned into it harder. Having watched the second two episodes as well, I think fully embracing the cheese would have been a good move. I like it, but the nature of the story is a bit overwrought without a little fromage.

“And are we to truly believe Stormfront is really as cool as she might seem?”

That is definitely a photo from Star Trek VI. Khan-era Shatner had curlier hair.

It was real bad. The series had a lot of potential but seems to throw away any good will constantly. Wasting Jason Isaacs and Michelle Yeoh, both of whom had the potential to be excellent captains, taking a cast of really good actors and giving them largely unlikable and underused characters. A continuity breaking…
