on my last night of netflix cramming absolutely fabulous episodes

looks like season 3 has an arc after all!

so yeah “important” to watch in order, after all

not season 1 though. but whatever. great shit ha ha ha haaa

Severian 04.28.2018 11:27 AM

Hasn’t Westworld season 2 started?

I’m way behind on everything. Two eps behind on Americans, three on Legion. No time. NO TIME!

!@#$%! 04.28.2018 11:45 AM

they did start yeah. don’t care about watching week to week. will binge eventually one of those days— maybe add the HBO channel for a month in the summer and catch this + final gaymotron. too many fucking services to juggle = death from a thousand papercuts. plus now world cup will take up most screen time for me. world cup! that’s the best “reality tv” ever.

I couldn't get going in Westworld 1. There was a scene where the main bad guy was killing some guy for no plot reason or for anything else I could tell. So, I bailed.

I started on the Terror the other day. it is EXCELLENT!

Westworld is a little brutal in the beginning.

Want to watch The Terror. Forgot about that one.

westworld is plenty brutal throughout! it’s actually quite pornographic. gratuitous tits and carnage throughout.

pretty thin on plot actually when you remove the tit-illation. okay not so thin but, no new ideas really in this science fiction that we have not seen with replicants already.

im getting tired of tv again ha ha ha

after finishing americans i might just quit for a while.

the golden age of tv might just end in same old jerkoff, just more style.

yeah, the Westworld part I was talking about was so gratuitous. Reminded me of the Saw kind of thing. Pointless and repulsive. At the same time, Kill Bill worked for me, so I suppose artistry may be the crux?

I have similar issues with similar things. Only barely made it through the first ep of WW. It didn’t quite get that rough in that way again... though it did get plenty rough.

watched the first episodes of Legion with the wife this weekend. we now refer to that show as "Crazy Shit", and yes, we capitalize it when we say it. hahhahahah.

Legion makes Jessica Jones look like a weak episode of Saved By The Bell

I KNOW!

It’s so fucking good! I wasn’t sure how they were going to follow up the “Wes Anderson goes to Xavier’s Academy” vibe of the first season without being self-derivative, even though I loved that season — but the decision to go balls out weird/dark-as-shit/meta-horror was a great one.

Sometimes it’s a little exhausting to watch, but it’s goooooood.

And Don Draper narrating (for some reason) !!!

been bingeing on some badly made canuck tv. gail vaz-oxlade’s “till debt do us part”. i had heard about her from pf circles but never seen her. the show is formulaic and repetitive and all that, but no matter— i watch it to stimulate paying attention to money is all. great for that purpose! this should be mandatory viewing for everyone—especially people who carry comsumer debt.

Blacklisted? He’s been in every season including the season 4 “remix” (re-arrangedmplot for people who don’t read books) that his Netflix last week.

I wasn’t aware he was ever “blacklisted,” but of course he’s in it!

they took him off transparent cuz he meetoo’d someone or someone claimed claims that something something

evollove 05.08.2018 10:39 AM

Yeah, a former assistant--apparently disgruntled--made the claim.

He denied it.

I believe him. Tie me to a stake and set a fire.

!@#$%! 05.08.2018 10:48 AM

I didn’t know about any of this.

How does Transparent work without him?

Oh well. Looked like he was in the trailer.

Is anyone watching the Eurovision song contest?
The Dutch contestant now refuses to talk to the two biggest Dutch news papers, because they were being too negative on him. But they were right. He sucks :D
