Can’t wait for Admiral Warmor.

Yeah, a big baddie in a series set at the Star Fleet Academy makes me suspicious about the quality of the underlying story arc, which also raises my concerns for the overall series.

And here he hires his boss, DA Raymond Horgan (Bill Camp), as his lawyer for the trial.

I’m glad Amazon is continuing with this - I’ll probably watch - but also because the streams have just been tanking in viewership for a couple of years now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if nowadays when most people think of his pre-Price of Right work their first response would be his hosting of Whose Line is it Anyway?   Would make sense given it’s been on continuous reruns, where the Drew Carey show hasn’t.

Yep, folks like you are why I wrote that up for both now and for future searches.

Taping your mouth shut when you’re on an xPAP is entirely reasonable, although if you’re getting a sleep study you’ll generally have to get permission from the doctor so that the RPSGT monitoring you will let you do so.

I think the old show is continuously streaming on Google TV.

Glen Powell was in a sex scene in Everybody Wants Some!!

Shade or not, I loved Carey’s restrained WTF reaction.

Never mind, just realized I fell for a zombified 2021 repost! Heh.

I think you raise a terrific point about the politically focused, hard fantasy provided by GRRM (and edited and adapted incredibly well by D&D) in the first 4 or 5 seasons that got largely chucked when D&D had to write their own material from S6 onwards and how it transformed the show for the worse.

You know, since GoT falls on my ‘nope, might go back and kill an hour on an episode or two if I have some nostalgia but ain’t never doing a series rewatch’ list, I actually had to look up the wiki summary of S5 to recall more than my hazy memory from a decade back.

I think the criticism of the last 3 seasons was entirely justified, but that they still don’t get nearly enough credit for cleaning up the mess of the books before they got overwhelmed (and more than a little arrogant in deciding not to bring a slug new writers in to the room when they started needing to create.)

Now playing

This is one of the better Criterion Closet shorts on its own, and it’s also really illustrative of part of the family business side of nepo babies when it’s done right.

The whole ‘through the epic conclusion’ announcement was bizarre. With a 8 episode/season structure, the source material should fit fairly comfortably as a three season show.  It’s good to see that’s confirmed.

If the show had demonstrated any ability to develop original characters and themes that were appropriate to the setting this might be a pretty interesting development. Under that scenario, I could see where incorporating Bombadil’s outright goofy OP weirdness into a unique tapestry they’d created could be fun.

O’Barr was also a fan of Joy Division, whose former members turned down an offer from Most to re-record “Love Will Tear Us Apart” for the soundtrack.

I do hope the writers can figure out a way to sneak in “Happy” and “Hard on” when Harry is referenced by his name.

Although a high profile part on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire was ultimately cut short by a bout with cancer in the 2010s
