I was implying that they should've just cancelled the damn thing.

If they were to cut Kemper and Burgess from the cast, maybe I could stomach more than the godawful first couple of episodes I forced myself to sit through for the sake of my friends. I still can't believe they renewed this.

I most certainly did. I hoped it might transcend the 1st person POV genre, but it decidedly didn't. In any way, shape, or form. Pretty damn disappointing, considering how long the genre has been gestating.

I'm really gonna goddamn miss Togetherness. Simultaneously stoked/depressed about tomorrow night.

It was literally just one gimmick extended over a full movie, and a horrifically nauseating version of it at that (as compared to something like Lady in the Lake, which I love). There were literally no redeeming qualities to the plot (that I saw, at least), so god knows I'm not going to sit through that.

First movie I've ever walked out of. Substantially worse than godawful.

ON TO AMERICAN GODS HELL YEAH

KSR's 2312 is absolutely wonderful, too, if you like TYoRaS.

Arkwright, by Allen Steele. If you're in the market for a bizarre and mighty unique pseudo-historical-cum-hard-SF read that'll enrapture you from the get-go, featuring a revised SF golden era, it's pretty much a must-read.

Aelita and Amphibian Man are two absolutely wonderful Soviet SF films that pretty much everyone should see at some point. Good shit.

Yeah, she wrote a goddamn trilogy. It really went off the rails in like… the first 20 pages.

After watching the show, those books are absolutely incredible to read, just to appreciate the degree to which the show came into its own over the craphole that was the book series.

I've read pretty much every Superman that's come out since about 1999, so 15 years would be better, then. Pak's take has been interesting - not gonna diss that by any means - but I haven't read anything other than All-Star or the 2002 Spirit of America run that's boiled the Superman mythos down to such a functionally

All that much more of a reason, as far as I'm concerned. American Alien is probably the best Superman comic in the past couple of decades, dude's pretty fantastic when he's given free reign with adaptations.

There were a bunch of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. references in Daredevil season 2! It's pretty integrated.

Something about the forcedness of the diagetic music just tears me out of whatever narrative I'm trying to enjoy. I love plays, I like opera, but I hate when the whole "burst into song" thing happens.

God knows I don't listen to the House of Abrasax all the damn time. Giacchino's the master of meh movie, great soundtrack, between that, John Carter, and Tomorrowland, for some recent samples.

That would be such fantastically inspired casting, especially in the wake of Hail Caesar!.

**innuendos increase**

Wait: I know this show ain't huge into continuity or anything, but they just like ABSURDLY buffed Finn. Immune to all electricity attacks? Imagine the possibilities…
