Last week one of their new shows, Blood Drive, started.
It's pretty nuts.
Yeah Blood drive looks really dumb. Might be fun. The first episode was pretty meh, but I am going to give it a few more episodes before I pass final judgement.
I'm just not a fan of the grindhouse style over the top "Sam Peckinpah Salad Days" style violence.
Izombie had a good season final.
Anne with a E. I got to the part about the pet mouse, wow.
Izombie had a good season final.
That was merely part 1 of 2.
So I watched about 25 minutes of the Preacher season premiere last night before sh*tting it off. I mean, I loved the first season, but this just seemed really, really bad. Violent without reason, mean, and playing to the lowest common denominator.
I mean, I hate Texas as much or more than anyone, and even I thought Preacher went far too gratuitous in mocking the state.
I'm gonna give it another go, hoping maybe I was just not in the mood or tired. Maybe coming off a weak of three finales of shows featuring outstanding writing, acting, and production raised the bar above what they are doing with Preacher. Because Fargo, Better Call Saul, and American Gods are all violent stories told with a certain amount of style, too.
Preacher just seemed to offer nothing. Was it just me?
Maybe it's because you've not watched any of last season again? I just rewatched last season again last week to get amped up for the new season. I felt like the opening for this season was lockstep in what was happening with the last one. So much so that i was considering to wait so i could binge all in one go.
I know i don't have the patience for that though...
Only thing that bothered me was the cat.
But I've read the comics. They're really violent.
Ha, wow, the Amazing Ganesh was pretty horrifying.
I really enjoyed the premier of Preacher. Pretty much what I expected after all the crap that went down last season.
I just watched the most recent Dark Matter episode. They had probably one of the funniest moment of the series.
The jump cut to the android and three singing a french folk song, made me literally laugh out loud. So good.

Spoiler:The jump cut to the android and three singing a french folk song, made me literally laugh out loud. So good.
I hope they keep Three speaking French for the rest of the series.
Anybody watched any episodes of Cleverman? Brief blurb I read about it sounds interesting, curious what it's like (although, I'm not sure I have any way to view it)
Finally caught up on Fargo.
I feel like I had bunch of allegories thrown at me and most of them went over my head.
When Emit woke with the stamp on his forehead: allusion to the mark of Cain?
I have no idea how Ray Wise's character fits in to all of this. The last time we see him, he's carrying around a kitten he says is the reincarnation of Ray Stussy, then he greets Yuri by name and that's the last we see of Yuri. Or the kitty.
In the end, trying to recall and repeat Mysterious Stranger's speech may have been what led Nikki to her final fate. If she had just done it, she might have been able to get away.
Emit, instead of dying at his lowest when he has nothing to live for, instead dies at what may be his highest point. I'm not sure which is more cruel.
I knew the show would end before we know Vargas' fate.
On Ray Wise's character:
And yeah, Fargo is allegories and metaphors piling up all over the place. I thought the season was brilliant.
Interesting, I wouldn't have gotten that.
I'm also wondering about...
Gloria's finally able to register on motion sensors. "She's a real boy now," quipped my wife, and there's definitely something to that, I'm just not sure why or what it means.
Also the robot from the "Planet Wyh" story. Is that meant to represent Gloria? She goes around thinking she can help solve the mysterious goings-on but doesn't actually contribute anything until the end?
I think this season overdid it on the allusions, allegories, and symbolism. Then again, this kind of thing was always my stumbling block in English/literature classes.
Been watching Australian Survivor which is now more diverse which wasn't hard because last season they only had one non white person.
The cast is still way to big. I can't keep track who is who at the moment. However, this season is better than the last one. Some of the challenges seem a bit dangerous so far. I'm betting someone is going home hurt.
Yes, I was surprised also at the apparent risk the contestants were placed in, those big heavy blocks and balls for example. I'm keeping track of the contestants better than last time, I think 2 tribes of 12 is helping. Jumping around between 3 tribes in season 1 just made it too much.
Five episodes in, and Ozark on Netflix is good.
Have we discussed the upcoming Netflix series Mindhunter? It's a David Fincher produced show based on a book about the FBI agents who developed profiling of serial killers. Looks amazing, and I believe it launches in October.
Five episodes in, and Ozark on Netflix is good.
Yeh, it's a bit like The Counsellor and Ray Donovan bumping uglies. I loved it.
A nice reaction to Black Sails: https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/arti...
It sums up a lot of my thoughts about the show's problems but extremely redeeming qualities, especially that fantastic ending.

Woo-oo!

I also compared it to Breaking Bad except the family learns what you're doing.

The thing is this HAD to end this way or just be completely unfaithful to Treasure Island.
