MODERATORS
I missed the !television thread last week so I’ll post what I watched here:
Zero Day - It was meh. Unresolved plot points and unrealistic tech where it was supposed to be sort of grounded in reality. The performances from the main cast were good though.
Samurai Champloo - Finally finished the entire 2 seasons. I loved it. Dare I say it was better than Cowboy Bebop. The characters and stories are more interesting. And of course the soundtrack is great, nearly on par with Yoko Kano’s music for Cowboy Bebop.
28 Years Later - I can’t really decide if it was good or bad. I don’t really have an opinion. I was whelmed. lol
Finally started Slow Horses. It’s played straighter than I’d thought it would be, and the pacing of the first couple of episodes makes the title feel very accurate indeed, but it does worm its way into your brain, and Gary Oldman’s work is a god-damn treasure. Looking forward to continuing it when the wife gets back.
Also watching Foundation, and while it’s getting space opera-y in a way I assume is even farther from the books, after 2 and a half seasons I finally find Gaal more interesting than annoying, and the genetic dynasty actors continue to make it work, plausibly playing the “same” characters but with vastly different different experiences revealing the little changes that have slipped in over the centuries.
Strange New Worlds maybe never grew into what I really hoped it would be, not that I know what that is well enough to articulate it, but it’s still by far the strongest of the recent Trek offerings.
I watched Rush (2013) yesterday with the wife and she really liked it despite her initial objections ("they just go around in circles!/you don't even care about racing, why are we watching this?!").
Today, I wanna hate-watch the JLo narcissistic documentary "This is me... Now" but idk if she'll agree, lol, it might be a step too far.
alien & ufo stuff
I finished the first season of The Apothecary Diaries. I will admit that I'm starting to like Jinshi more since I got to know more about him. I like how the main plot points are more subtle in this series I think that's its main charm.
The Lazarus Project, Godfather of Harlem, and The Sandman. Really enjoying the second season of the latter.
