This is a good show, make you sure you watch the original British one he links to, they remade a US version of this show with the same name and it isn't nearly as good

JewsAreOfColor · 2023-02-10T01:05:04+00:00

Your link died.

You missed some good ones. No Chappelle Show? The Wire?

BISH · 2023-02-01T02:49:59+00:00

Was she Shirley?

I remember one of them put a glove on an empty bottle in the intro screen of that show. I wonder if that glove became entangled in the production line's automation.

They caught that act of sabotage on film.
Did she get fired?

She randomly turned up when I was reading about Charles Manson.

Her daughter knew The Family but was too sensible to get involved.

Angela herself was the Granddaughter of a very famous politician in the UK and you see Lansbury monuments and buildings all over the place.

Not murdered but that's all she wrote.

Burned through the last episode a couple of days ago. Need more.

I hate the entirety of The Big Bang Theory with the fury of a Thousand Suns.

I was a kid when this was on TV so this and Taxi) are like distant memories or dreams

Dirty Harry - The Dead Pool was 1988??? Oh man. I feel so old.

We need more shows like this.

christnmusicreleases · 2020-10-04T04:33:23+00:00

Trippy. A lot of these shows look like they are meant to be watched under some kind of inebriation/drug kick.

Enza · 2020-10-01T12:46:35+00:00

2005-2015 Adult Swim was probably the best experimental programming project ever. At least the most enjoyable.

I used to love ATHF, even as a kid when I didn't understand the majority of the jokes. I miss Adult Swim, and all of it's transistions. It had a really good underground music phase, a really trippy and philosophical phase.. Then it got very surreal.

Off The Air was such a good show. So many good memories binge watching this with friends.

Practising patience is my perfect therapy :) .

I made two reminders.

I got it through some unofficial channels.

Art is amazing.

I liked it. I won't spoil it but imo you need some stomach and standards to really be able to digest it.

The book you cited i just put on my to read list so i can't say right now how they relate.

Edit: It doesn't even seem to be officially available or is it ?

realpanzer · 2020-08-20T09:27:10+00:00

Is it any good?

I have read The Electric State and it was really good.

Timmy · 2020-08-15T06:07:42+00:00

I hated to see Colony go. It often went sideways with its stories, but always came back to straighten things out. It was good sci-fi, still is.

Centerpoint Station is so big that I had to look it up to find out about your double ended dildo.

Like, Centerpoint Station big.

JasonCarswell · 2019-05-03T03:25:13+00:00

I am a pretty big Star Wars fan.

Like Chewbacca big? Or Jabba the Hut big?

Last Jedi was the worst writing but the best visuals, so far.

Vigte · 2019-05-03T03:17:15+00:00

I never even saw Last Jedi, I fell asleep in Force Awakens.

I am a pretty big Star Wars fan.

JasonCarswell · 2019-05-03T03:04:30+00:00

They EVEN had him SMILE when he survived the dragon fire

I physically cringed at that point.

They are make million$. They can afford better writers.

JasonCarswell · 2019-05-03T03:03:12+00:00

A+++

But was this worse than the opening of The Last Jedi?

Vigte · 2019-05-03T00:21:54+00:00

Say, the Dothraki emboldened by their flaming sabers decide to charge because they are over confidant. Others try to stop them and fail... they all die. Same result but better.

Also, I believe I saw the meme of this somewhere... yes here you go

Vigte · 2019-05-03T00:18:44+00:00

Well, some of the spoilers that were posted months ago - that were proven true by this episode - still have some talk about events that may relate to the NK (he may return, we will just have to wait and see).

Personally, I think they killed him in order to boost interest in their forthcoming prequel "The Long Night".

See they had all this lore itching to be said on screen, Sam got all those books, Bran has the song (history) in his head - but they opted to kill him without a single piece of exposition!

They EVEN had him SMILE when he survived the dragon fire - WHY do that, if you were just going to kill him. I can understand an a-moral, emotionless bio-weapon, so why add that smile at the LAST little bit there, giving him "personality".

The shots were amazing (could have been brighter, obviously) - the music was amazing - and aside from the few deaths, I was really happy! They just didn't do justice to the EXPOSITION of the story...

Maybe they did it, like I said, to boost interest in the prequel - but also to leave the deep lore for GRRM, that's HIS ending after all. The hints about this ending were there from SEASON FOUR, when Melisandre meets Arya and gives her the "blue eyes" prophecy. So the show runners knew that far back... we can't really shit on them too hard...

I understand the budget cuts but really.

There could have been so many practical creative work arounds.

Say, the Dothraki emboldened by their flaming sabers decide to charge because they are over confidant. Others try to stop them and fail... they all die. Same result but better.

Killing the Ice King was a little anti-climactic. Unfortunately there aren't too many YouTubers who are critically and analytically very deep, or they are hard to find. Had I known anyone would respond I would have kept and posted some.

It was a good episode but not great. I'm guessing it will get better. I don't think they blew the whole wad.

Either that or it's another Hollywood money laundering scheme.

Vigte · 2019-05-02T20:23:41+00:00

OHMY GOD I AM (as an addicted Total War Player, and thus second only in all of human history to Alexander the Great! /s) SO upset with the idiots who planned this battle. One volley siege weaponry, spears INFRONT of the pits - a cavalry charge while on the defensive? FFS...

Dothraki hidden behind the castle, unsullied/siege behind the fire pit - light the pit as soon as they arrive and stab them when they walk through. If the spear lines were failing, the dothraki would ride in circles at the base of the wall cutting them down as they tried to climb up.

FFS.

The whole thing reeked of idealism and "common" literature tricks to enhance the suspense...

However Nerdrotic posited that the Dothraki were cut for budget reasons. Similar to last season where the producers were told "you can have the polar bear or the direwolf" - they chose the polar bear. This season they cut the dothraki to save money for dragons and wildfire I assume. (hopefully for some Ghost and Nymeria too, but who knows at this point).

JasonCarswell · 2019-05-01T02:32:05+00:00

I guess no one cares to discuss this.

JasonCarswell · 2019-04-29T22:35:50+00:00

SPOILERS

After having seen too many YouTube videos discussing this season and this episode, I have a few take-aways they've neglected.

1) Winter came and winter fell at Winterfell. How is no one even mentioning this.

2) WunWun the last giant died in the courtyard of Winterfell. We never see how they dealt with his HUGE body. Some have said they burned it, though I don't recall this. Maybe they chopped it up to move it out of the Winterfell bailey. (If eating giant meat is not cannibalism, then, if they'd preserved it as Giant Jerky™ they could feed all the armies. Or maybe they'd get mad giant disease.) Either way, it's gone. So it makes no sense that the zombie giant, fallen by the epic little girl eye poke, could possibly be WunWun.

3) Lots of irritating irrational terrible battle strategies on both sides, too many to dump all at once now if anyone even cares. I know this was, in part, for a linear cinematic roll out. Despite this, over all it was a very intense and excellent episode.

4) "Fem dropcatch slain". This is a meme/saying I want to spread around. Arya uses this technique on the Night King, as she did in practice sparring, as did Rey with the lightsabre against Snoke's Red Guard. I feel like it might have been used elsewhere too. It need not be a pro or anti feminism thing.

5) Some who feel the ever-looming threat of the winter death is akin to the threat of Climate Change and feel like it has been a MacGuffin that was resolved too easily. I'd rather compare the mindless sheeple zombies to the wights and the 1% elites to the royals and their minions who claim to have a right to exist as they do.

7) Who has a better memory: wight or goldfish?

Love WKYK. I routinely watch all the episodes back to back to back to back to back at least once a year.
