that was season 4. Season five has not aired yet. It will be on Netflix at some point - possibly in 2020.

HA! I was thinking the same. Comics don’t purchase themselves.

Tank Girl!

the movie industry seems to be all hype, exaggeration, and truncated history when it comes to promoting. There haven’t been many R rated comic movies, therefore “it’s never been done!” is a valid promotional slogan. One should always take any advertising/promotional “entertainment news” with a hefty helping of salt…

I see your points re: difficulty with explaining the backstory - though, “difficult” is not the same as “impossible”.

“ All in all love the casting so far, but it will never trump the Ankh-Morpork in my head.”

Wait - “ at least until the showrunner turned out to be a massive sex pest and the series got cancelled.” THAT is why Dirk Gently was canceled??? I’m even more aggravated with the universe-in-general now (and sex pests in particular).

that made me laugh. And I needed a laugh today.

Yeah, they should have skipped that kiss. 

sad isn’t it? I saw the pic and thought - oh no, who died.

yeah - if the riders can breathe the not-horses can breath too,

I agree - humans are flawed. That shouldn’t retroactively make the good things their art did for you become “bad”. I hope you and your nieces keep finding things to bond over.

I agree with the concept that ‘actors have to work’ - but given the weird filming schedule this show seems to have, I’m not sure that rule applies here :-)

“Angry gets shit done” - is a quote from Ananci/Mr. Nancy in the show (I believe from season one, in the slave ship). I thought Orlando Jones was making that reference - to the character’s actions/attitude - as the reason why his portrayal is no longer wanted on the show.

we’re all nerds here. Surely it must be HK-42 :-)

Jan Michael Vincent was the best part of Danger Island!

there have been adaptations of Ursula Le Guin’s works. Most were horrible*. I think, at some point, she refused to allow her works to be adapted.

I know Mad Sweeney is dead - but that doesn’t mean he’s gone. I mean, Dead Wife is still going...

I thought they said this was NOT a sequel - but a reboot. So, you won’t need to have seen that other one.

Trashy! He was really good playing that psychotic arsonist. One of my favorite things about the original mini-series.
