anyway i’ve been watching the final 3 seasons of homeland which i had to catch up with.

it’s been a decades-long cycle with claire danes, see...

Maybe time will be a bit more kind to the sophomore outing. But I doubt it.

the show runner got rid of the old lady enemy because he said no one wanted to watch asians on screen. No LIE.

Saw the first episode last night, and already love it. Going to watch an episode a night so I don't burn through it too quickly.

Read up on it. It was the former Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb, not the showrunner who had made those disgusting comments. Fucked up nonetheless.

thanks for correction. I thought her character was awesome. it made me mad to hear they removed it for such a stupid reason.

Quiet honky.

Whilst I'm here I gotta recommend Succession to everyone on here. So, so good. Don't think there's been a program where every character is a total dick but it's still incredibly watchable. Takes some skill to do that.

Haha! Sorry I couldn't resist a bait. Nono, I lost my mind a while ago with other matters but I've managed to avoid becoming a grumpy old racist.

when i said “god damn racists everywhere” i was reacting to the news of the marvel asshole! (plus people in our board). i had no idea of the marvel business, and it’s so fucked.

and also michelle yeoh is fucking badass on star trek discovery. you’ve seen?

Yeah, Madame Gao was awesome. I had wondered why they didn't do more stories with her. Apparently the writers were initially going to write more in-depth looks into those characters' lives but had to scrap that at Loeb's command. This is infuriating, considering some of the themes this show, especially Season 1, is touching upon. I mean, look at the victims of one bald white mogul in Season 1 - many of them are ethnic minorities struggling to get by in an area that gets increasingly hostile towards residents that aren't millionaires. There's a strong critique of corporate interests in gentrification in there. And it illustrates how far those with power are willing to go to maintain that power - those without a voice always being the casualties of their egocentric pursuits. To find out that behind the scenes things were this way is jarring, to say the least.

indeed

it’s fun, every few years or so, to rewatch old seasons of buffy. currently on season 1. the jokes are still good!

.... where the story makes any sense at all?

I watched Warrior Nun on Netflix. At first it looks similar to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but then depicted in a monastery. But it ends as sort of an Agents Of Shield in the Vatican, and a feeling of I have no clue what I've been watching.
I'll probably still watch season 2 whenever it comes, maybe it will explain what season 1 was about

[!@#$%!]

i watched “seduced”, the starz docuseries about the nxivm cult

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13269706/

 

fucked uuuuuuuuuuuuuup. and a big warning to people who love “groups” lolololol. i don’t think i could ever fall for that shit simply based on the annoyance level of the activities.

but in smaller settings? keep your eyes open...

Restarted my intended first watch through of The Mandolorean. Almost through the first 4.
