I feel like they would skip straight to Player of Games. When Hulu is done mining Handmaid's Tale or Sci-Fi finishes the Expanse.

I'll be the one who backs you on Jupiter Ascending, but silly may be the problem. How many Star Wars fans actually think it's silly? (It's mighty silly.) Sadly, I think there'll be Ready Player One sequels before a non-Star Wars, Star Trek, series manages to take off.

I imagine it'd be a a mess or noble failure like Watchmen, but I wish someone would try to make Incal, but yeah, I think euro sci-fi converts very well to things like this or Snowpiercer. Metaphor you say? No! Too subtle!

I've been watching movies for a few years now. I believe the answer is yes.

I read the review and came down here for the very specific question—how does this rate next to Jupiter Rising?

The first time they broke the glass I was shocked—not even the glass is reinforced?!

I think there's also the influence of internet recap and how we discuss these shows. There's almost confusion between whether a show is about people or about plot.

It's held up better than I expected. Even now it's more serious about topics than most, but also dated. McManus, even as the bleeding heart, has some odd ideas about religion. It's theatrical style is different enough from every show that's come after that it affords it some breathing room.

I got to it late, but his lechery was worse than his dated/weird ideas about incarceration. I actually get the warden a lot more.

Oz had a guide/narrator character who framed the issues of each episode and filled in background on other people in direct address monologues to the audience. And the physical set itself made sense as a setting—fishbowl cells, basically—but was also used as a fishbowl for the audience to peer in, more stagelike I'd…

Cabot Cove is murder central—and the thing is, it's obviously that mystery writer.

In watching the older HBO shows, I'm struck by how loose something like the Sopranos is, compared to the current stuff, and how theatrical—not just melodramatic but in staging and so on—Oz was. I wouldn't mind a little more of the latter creeping back into tv.

The peril of a tv setting, especially the crime ones. They also have terrible cops as well as being terribly crime-ridden. I like the Inspector Lewis British stuff set in Oxford. There's always the same plot. 4-5 suspects, 3 die during the course of the investigation, and there's a fast drive to prevent the 4th from…

I think people like Tom Hiddleston and have transferred that affection to Loki, but yeah, I don't actually think there's much to it beyond that.

I'm always in my high stealth mode as well—I like the idea of variety more than I actually vary my play tactics—but imagine it'll be useful when I want to show up that guy with too many braids in his beard. The Sunhawk dude. And yeah, I'm enjoying the story and the vignettes and backstory in general, so I would do it…

I have not but I remembered that she did that. It sounded like good counter-programming for what inevitably was going to lead her to typecasting otherwise.

Even as a nerdy teenager that mistaken identity rape thing in Revenge of the Nerds creeped me out. Might not be a rom-com though. And also, the pushy-to-rapey guy gets the girl is a staple of many stories.

Hmm, I get that, but I also think those two are the most conscious of it as well, and if they're going to stay together, they're going to have to work for it. The "happily ever after" is the frictionless relationship fantasy, and they definitely aren't under any illusions. I give 'em a 50/50 chance in the end.

My parents did while I was in college, and one of my aunts asked "What do you think? What do you really think?" (She was a great aunt and meant it) and my reply was "About time." (It may also have been too late, but hey, that's for therapy.)

I thought it was? And now I see it isn't? And now I'm sad.
