I think they were also trying to avoid HBO shoving a big rainbow over it and putting in a “watch our LGBT shows” section, and instead going for mainstream success. I would have watched it either way, but I think they probably got more eyeballs pretending it was What We Do On the Pirate Ship, even though that wasn’t an…
Every time I see something about this new one, I briefly have a glimmer of hope that SyFy’s Dark Matter is coming back.
Isn’t there already a science fiction TV series called “Dark Matter”.
Concepts and caricatures are problematic when they are blatant stereotyping stand-ins for existing groups, especially when those groups are already persecuted.

The normalization of this is twisted and insane.
I really hope this gets renewed for a second (or possibly third) season, since there’s just so much craziness left in the real Stede Bonnet’s life that hasn’t even been touched on yet.

Ah man, I liked Archive 81.

As much as I love the character, does everyone need an overly long backstory these days?
I’ll have to watch again when it comes to HBOMax but... I’m just not getting all the praise for this movie. I thought it was a decent Batman movie but fairly unremarkable. Wasn’t a huge fan of emo Bruce, the movie felt long and Riddler triggering other incels into action felt lazy. In my opinion, Penguin was the best…
