It’s less about whether they’ll die or not, and more about whether anything meaningful will happen to them or not. And since we already watched the arc of the character over other movies . . .

Hell I’d go as far as that they mostly take stupid people, thanks to the whole legacy system. When I see someone went to an Ivy League college my default bias is to downgrade my estimation of them.

I’m liking how things are just slowly spinning out of control but nobody seems to quite realize how bad it could get. I’m hoping for complete breakdown and anarchy by the end of the season.

this Spectrum Original (by way of Discovery) is already available for binge-watching to Charter Communications subscribers

Cancelling it so soon almost sounds like there was some behind-the-scenes considerations (actor or showrunner availability or something) and they’re just belatedly making it public that there’s never going to be more of it.

Cutting off the show where they are also seems likely to help with sweeping the whole Prince Andrew . . . stuff under the rug.

A Harley Quinn thing in 2020 that doesn’t include a friendship with Poison Ivy played by Lake Bell? Questionable!

It took a while for the authors to really expand upon the crew, and it’s only around the time of Nemesis Games that the authors started also converging the characters in the books with the actors’ portrayals. Although that being said, in Amos’ case the novella The Churn fleshes his character out a lot more and was…

Yup, no more Disney stuff for Netflix. Can’t say I’m too upset.

Yeah, but I have a projector at home (and the option of using either a great pair of speakers or some great headphones), and being able to pause a movie is pretty nice when they’re all seemingly 2hr+ monstrosities.

My approach to all these Disney films has long been “eh, when I’m in a bored baindead kinda mood some day and it’s on Netflix”, which is on one hand increasingly untenable but on the other hand is probably for the best.

Picard . . . rarely have I been so simultaneously hopeful and so pessimistic. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like the only Trek that's sacrosanct for me is DS9, so if it turns out terrible . . . oh well! The same could be said of basically all the TNG movies but for First Contact, after all.

Weaving a prequel to Nemesis Games into this season, and tying it into an expanded version of the Gods of Risk novella, was pretty brilliant of them, particularly for setting up the next season. And it solves the problem many people (although give me space archaeology any day and I’ll be happy!) had with Cibola Burn…

Continues to be kindof inexplicable that “Awkwafina” has stuck with that problematic mononym.

An apparently pretty old example of an uncommon, but also not entirely infrequent, story: the remake being better than the original.

I watched only a bit more than you of the Arrowverse (also watched the first season or two of The Flash, otherwise similarly just 2 seasons of Arrow and half of the 1st of Legends), but then have now watched all of the crossover episodes (including the few one-off crossovers or related ones) as listed on a wiki or…

There are legal ways to do so once it starts airing, or of course you could always sail over to, say, a semi-enclosed body of water frequented by brigands.

I feel like lately D.C. has gotten better at this stuff, although maybe that’s just wishful thinking? But lampshading the different ongoing versions with Crisis, combined with the recent plethora of ‘duplicate’ or overlapping characters (ex. Batman in Crisis and Batwoman in general in the CW, while a different cast of…

It’s amazing how some actors can play such different characters that one’s initial feeling can be “oh, guess they couldn’t get them in” while literally watching that actor on screen. I had the same kind of moments at times while watching Orphan Black, and also for the evil vampire doppelganger of the lead of The…

In general, The Expanse is often a masterclass in how to do an adaptation, both in terms of necessary practical (ex. budgetary) considerations and in the senses of just what works in different mediums. Although I’ll never quite forgive them for not getting to:
