TV Series Thread

Reminds me of Hari Seldon from Asimov's Foundation series.

As I was reading the comments below season 4, episode 5 of Farscape, I was reminded of a series called Lexx that I've seen a few episodes of way long ago. I'll check it out when I'm finished watching Farscape. I remember it was pretty entertaining.

I haven't kept up with this thread but there are several series I enjoyed that I'm currently waiting on a new season to come out. On Apple TV there is Silo, Foundation, Invasion, and Monarch. Others include Wednesday and The Old Man.

I want to add Rings of Power to this list. I didn't realize season 2 was already streaming until last night. I watched season 2 episode 1 last night. Which brings me to being pissed at Amazon. It seems they have locked Dolby Atomos audio behind their $3 a month no adds option. This is a change that strated this year. The additional charge is on top of the $139 a year Prime membership, and I'm not to happy about it. Every fucking thing is going to a subscription service, and most providers are looking for new shit to bill you for on a continuing basis in order to increase their revenue.

Yo ho! Yo ho!

Yea, no. Doesn't meet my morality standards. Questionable quality. I can already tell the difference between online streamed 4K content and my UHD Blu Rays or the rips I make from them. Some as large as 90 GB for a 2 hour plus movie. And I can't afford a lawyer...


Oh, and it's Yo ho ho not Yo ho yo ho. :)

While I'm loving these shorts, I hope they're just B-reels - stuff that was storyboarded but never really fit into one of the prior episodes - and not the new regular program.

Feels good having actual assassinations again.  Feels like we've only had around 3 or so proper assassinations previously - the kid from the pilot, that hero woman, and that genius inventor.  I'm not sure if I should count the spring breakers since I doubt Blitz's crappy flyer actually attracted legit clients.  He didn't seem to be very interested in settling accounts, which is suspiciously out of character, so he might have just made up the clients to win the challenge he challenged Versoika with.

Anybody else watch "On Patrol"?

Actually, I remember Blitzø asking if somebody was on the list before offing them. In the end, it didn't really matter how many he killed, though, because he just ended up blackmailing Verosika anyway.

Well, I finally finished the entirety of Farscape, and I just want to say that I still think it's the best thing ever on TV.
Now I can watch Lexx and see if it's as good as I remember it being.

Confession: I actually really liked Crais towards the end.  Yes, he's selfish (like Rygel) and shady (like Stark and Chiana) and prone to fits of anger (like Dargo) - but he was honest and honorable (like Aeryn) and a reliable compatriot, though you still need to be wary to some degree.  But compared to most of the peacekeepers, he's like a saint.  It's just a damn shame he's so vengeful and spiteful.
