if I had any complaints it was the animal extermination from the 4th episode became somewhat spurious without any pay off. I imagine it was supposed to show how the Russian public were used and spat out the other side, or perhaps the similarities between what happened and wartime conflicts, but we didn’t get to see much of the effect of what happened outside a single shot of a dead eyed soldier. Maybe that’s all that was needed perhaps.
This is explicitly covered in the podcast for this episode.
There was also some stuff they filmed but left out of the final programme because it was too horrible.
Quote:
Oh and the soundtrack was suuu-perb. It was just different sounding; haunting and creepy, I don’t know what instruments were used but it felt sort of Bladerunner-esq to me, perhaps? Not the future synth, just, the tone and feel of it? You know what I mean?
The music is covered in some detail in one of the podcasts.
VERY SUBTLE HINT HINT - Listen to the podcasts, they're fantastic companion pieces to the programme.
I did the first two episodes of this last night, fantastic stuff, very powerful.
I knew the story already in many regards already, but seeing it dramatised so well gives it extra resonance.
Also contains archive footage of Trump from 1989 to remind us once again what a cunt he is.
It's on Netflix.

New Jessica Jones is out, I'm 4 episodes in and it's better than season 2 so far.

Self-circumcision with a rusty BIC razor would be better than Season 2, so that's not saying much.
I don’t see the point now they’re winding them all down.
This is the last one I think, that's all of them done after this season.

You won't watch something unless it goes on forever?

Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying. Obviously.
Jessica Jones was standard Netflix marvel. Started strong, got boring and drawn out in the middle, ended strong.
Does it actually end properly?
Pretty much, there is no setup for another series at least.

Your logic would suggest that anyone who hadn't seen Firefly yet shouldn't watch Firefly, so is obviously as broken as it's possible to be.

Meh, I haven’t watched it in ages. I bet it hasn’t aged well.

Sadly Adam Baldwin’s fuckwittery over the last five years has sort of put me off ever going back to it.
Hannibal is on Netflix. I’ve started to watch it from the start and just the first episode is outstanding.

Great moments in television:
The Expanse, Series one
Eight episodes in and I love it.

I mean, obvious troll is obvious there.
Anyway, and talking of which, just finished Good Girls season 1 - well worth watching for many reasons, the cool daughter from Parenthood and Saffron from Firefly being two of them. And a fairly flying colours Bechdel test pass. The three female leads are just brilliant, fantastic comic chops and very believable.

Ancient meme is ancient there.
Joss Whedon stuff just doesn’t float my boat in the way it used to. My tastes have evolved is all.

I am ancient, don't be ageist.
Anyway, yeah that's totally understandable. I've revisited stuff and found my tastes have definitely moved on.
Also, its very sweet you assumed that was aimed at you.

Wasn’t it? You’re one of the biggest Firefly fans ever so seemed like a logical assumption to make.
Aaah, I see.

I haven't got past the first episode.
The Rookie, as I may have mentioned, is amazeballs. Also he's just so ruggedly handsome.

It was either going to be Gaywood or Hearthly

See, I initially assumed it was japery on your part, but I looked at it really hard and I just couldn't see how it could end up being funny.
My mistake was forgetting who I was dealing with.
You’re trying very hard to save face here! It’s quite sweet
Just watched the first two episodes of CHERNOBYL to catch the zeitgeist. First I was a bit worried about being acted by british actors. I once thought that in the post-Inglorious Basterds era, good drama was going to be made with the utmost authenticity. But the rest is so well made and put together, that i eventually forgot about that detail.
