aspergers, 30 years ago before internet they would have read a baseball alamanac for fun and it would have been the batting average of Phillie's 3rd basemen

now that data comes in form of steaming video

lol my GF has made us watch the X-Files from start to finish three times now....she adores the show.

I love it too. The student asked me what song closed the episode. Of course I knew.

I've never seen an episode of the X-files. Maybe I should check it out.

I just asked, my GF HATES that episode lol

goat episode - scared the daylights out of me - only episode to ever do that

promo doesn't do it justice for obvious spoiler reasons - but go watch foulie a deux now

I like the way that episode referenced Frankenstein, Mask, and comic books. And don't we want to rewrite the endings of some movies?

X-Files is just cocaine paranoia.

Finally watched Foundation s1 s2 tv series. Never read Asimov books on this. I was impressed about high level of production. Great set designs, costumes, special effects, visuals in every episode. It looks like it cost a lot to make. Jared Harris, as usual, is the strongest actor here, by far, and makes the story believable. Lee Pace is well cast as the Empire Day. The woman who plays the key figure, Demerzal, does well with a difficult and unusual role. There are tons of sophisticated sci fi, math, and biotech ideas in this show, maybe more than any sci fi show I've ever seen. That's nice, but that, along with the non-linear presentation, also made the storylines really, really complicated. I don't think I understood what was happening a lot of the time, especially Demerzal's actions. Some of it seemed preposterous to me. You have to wait to S2 e9 to get some explanation. Showmakers, let's stop with the excessive flashbacks and flashforwards. Linearity, please. Still, it was worth watching for me. Grade B+.

wait, there's a season 2 already of Foundation??

Lol yup.. S2 has more action too.

Home put the rest of the “scary episodes” of tv to shame for me. I was so damn scared watching that

Exactly my complaint above, especially when the flashbacks explain stuff that is easy to figure out anyway. Feels like Narrative for Dummies.

My friend told me how much she loved the new season of Fargo because of its violence. I didn't know whether to kiss her or step away quietly.

Is it good?

It's a lot better than S1. Faster pace, more action, better acting. Leah Harvey brings a lightness to Hardin that wasn't present in S1, in which most of her acting consisted of a furrowed brow. Lee Pace remains MVP though.

Lee Pace has such a presence. Rare you see such acting chops with someone so good looking. Had no idea there was a second season of Foundation out yet...very cool. The actress playing Empires's robot is my MVP of the show. She's great.

I liked it. It's not as good as the Billy Bob season and better than the Chris Rock season. Worth watching for sure.

Somehow my TV put on the first few minutes of Grammy show. Why do they have hosts who are neither entertaining or funny for these things ? And who are these performers?

Just have a disembodied voice introducing these acts.

I lasted two minutes just to see if Trevor Noah could get any worse. He did.

Trevor Noah is where humour goes to die.

I'm surprised by how much I'm liking Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Seems to be working well on a lot of levels. Only 1 episode in so far but I have a good feeling. Especially considering how hard I am to please this days, TV-wise I mean.

Been watching a French detective show, Astrid, about an autistic woman who helps the police solve cases. Really good.

In one episode, a victim is discovered to have Golden Blood. Fewer than 50 people have this blood type. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

nope

Anyone watch Halo, the show based on the very popular video game franchise that I have never played?

I've watched 4 episodes so far, and it's quite interesting...not sure if it's good yet...but it's quite complex. The only know actors, at least to me, are Natasha McElhone and Charlie Murphy.

Season 1 or 2?

Assuming 1, for me, started off well enough but pretty much goes to hell by seasons end, and you could remove the whole Kwan Ha sub plot and absolutely nothing of value would be lost. Hell, it's so awful getting rid of it would be a net improvement.


Pablo Schreiber, the guy who plays Master Chief, puts in a banging performance in American Gods as Mad Sweeney. But at the other end of the scale you have Burn Gorman pretty much playing the same role he played in The Man in the High Castle and The Expanse.

i watched it, wouldn't say it's good, but it's interesting

i'll go for s2
