What a pretentious asshole you are!

They made references to Season 1 in Season 3. I don’t know if they will make it overt if only because it hurts the awards chances of the show - tosses it out of limited series/anthology.

I don’t remember Season 2 with much clarity relative to Season 3, tbh, so it may just be down to what you personally liked.

Season 3 was more memorable than Season 2

Why did Angie steal Qavvik’s toothbrush? If she was leaving, why would she use his toothbrush?

I’m enjoying the small town vibes, which is somewhere between Fargo and Mayberry. That’s a new dimension that, paired with the gothic horror, is helping keep this show fresh. Also, I would totally live in the TSALAL station. Gym, library, big ass kitchen? Sign me up. 

Well, nothing is for everyone. And judging by your other comment, you don’t actually seem to be critiquing this particular program but rather just complaining that it wasn’t the show you imagined.

I viewed the sandwich stream as being broadcast to a family member, which would be on point for people stuck in a remote location. It would also fit with the Spanish speaker call to the police station that the secretary completely garbled.

Having a copy of The Thing on DVD at the research outpost was a bit on the nose.

I agree. A lot of shows could learn a lesson from this episode for how to explain who all your characters are in a way that feels natural, not like characters are explaining things to each other that they obviously all know. The relationships and tensions between the characters played by Foster, Hawkes, and Prior…

I’ve rewatched season one of True Detective a few times; I think it’s pretty much perfect. The previews for Night Country show clearly showed the spiral shape that featured prominently in that first season, and that coupled with Rust Cole’s backstory in Alaska gives me hope that there’s a direct connection between the…

In my head I put “Mare of Easttown” and “The Night of...” as unofficial “True Detective” series entries. 

Well, there’s always one contrarian.

There’s just more TV being made now, at a significant level, than there was 25 years ago, and so it’s easier for quality shows like Barry, Reservation Dogs or Succession to slip through the cracks.

There’s one in every crowd. Since when does HBO have cheap production values for their prestige dramas?

Alright, I’m in. First episode was a bit of a slow, dry burn. It seems more like its own thing than True Detective. There’s no noir narration and the two leads seem more detached to the viewer compared to their predecessors. We’re introduced to them in a more naturalistic way instead of the scenery chewing exposition…

I liked that Foster got to say ‘star-shaped’ in reference to a wound again, all these many years later.

To me it’s exactly what GamePass is made for, games that I don’t want to shell out full price for but still want to be able to play so I can at least try them out and keep up with what’s going on with games.

I liked the minimalist exposition that filled in the back story for all the players. It makes them feel like people with actual lives and not just props for the protagonists. Like that little bit with Leah about “that day” that told you: She was Danvers’ stepdaughter, not her bio-daughter, that her dad died in a DUI…

Of course BGS will release their Shattered Space DLC before they finish actually fixing the game. They’ve already shot themselves in their left foot with their response to the criticisms of Starfield, why not shoot the right one too by demanding more money for DLC for a game nowhere near complete?
