    Just watched today's heat of WSM.

    Terry fucked it. He shouldn't have tried to play it smart.

    I nearly gave up on Schitt's Creek after 5 episodes or so (as I disliked all the characters) but stuck with it and it ended up being one of my favourites comedies for last few years.

    Not sure at what point you should give up but I'd imagine most people have the same initial negative impression.

    Yeah, it gets much better towards the end of season. The ‘redemption arc’ is their integration into the town.

    I gave Schitt's Creek one episode and looking at the comments I was bang on to do so. People persisting with average TV in this day and age is bonkers.

    Series 4 of The Crown is starting to really bore me. I should have stuck with stopping at 3.

    After longer now on the cast changes, the only two that really don’t fit are Margaret and Elizabeth senior. The latter is only a very minor part I know but she looks like she belongs in a spoof version of a royal family film or something.

    I hate Shirley (but she wasn't as annoying as she usually is) but the rest were great and I'd be up for that lineup in a full series.

    You've managed to very accurately put into words my thoughts about their version of the Queen Mother there.

    I don't mind Margaret though. I actually think season four was my favourite too.

    Yeah, I've seen nothing but bad reviews. He had a 2020 screenwipe thing on BBC as well which I turned off about halfway through.

    It had it's moments. Hugh Grant was on good form as was the guy out of Stranger Things. The rest was shit.

    Very little. It's not horror sci-fi really (I mean, there's a killer space virus thing but there always is).

    I only started rewatching it cos the new series was coming out and channel 5 was showing like ‘the 24 xfiles episodes you must watch’ so I watched the first two and then it suggested skipping a load, but I was enjoying it so just carried on through them all.

    Episode 7 of season 9 is one of the best standalone episodes of any tv show ever, whether you’ve watched any others or even know who any of the characters are. I’ve rewatched it twice since I finished the whole lot.
    This was indeed a really good episode. One of the best stand-alone ones they've done. It was a bit like a movie. It just looked really good.

    It's weird, the general consensus seems to be that it got rubbish once Mulder and Scully stopped being the central characters but I think it has actually freshened things up quite a lot.

    There have been some great standalone episodes in season eight and nine. It also benefits from looking that bit more modern at this point. The actors are clearly more bothered about it too, whereas Duchovny in particular was really phoning it in towards the end of the "Mulder and Scully" era. Doggett is brilliant, and I really like Reyes as well. I don't see the issue. I'm half way through season nine and Scully is still sort of hanging around in a supervisory role but it works. They talk about Mulder a lot but he's never in it.

    The only downside is the whole mythology arc (aliens, government conspiracy etc) has gone to shit by this point. I couldn't even give you confident synopsis of what it was all about. They obviously had no idea what to do with that at all.

    Just finished Cobra Kai series 3 and thought it was excellent.

    Much like the previous 2 series I thought it was a little slow to start but when it got going it was brilliant. Really pumped for the next series which is set up beautifully after that finale.

    After I heard Discovery was the worst one yet by a long way I gave it a watch. Fucking hell it should be put out if it’s misery or just have the name changed to ‘Star Trek: The Whispering Tears of Michael Burnham’.

    I've started watching something called "For All Mankind" recently. It's on Apple TV, which seems to have been totally overlooked in the never ending streaming wars and which I only have as I got a year free on the back of a purchase, otherwise I would never have thought to both with it.

    It's actually quite good though. It's an alternate timeline thing in the vein of Man in the High Castle, but the premise is that the Soviets get to the Moon first, how the Americans react and the subsequent ongoing game of one-upmanship that means the Space Race never really ends. It's a bit daft in places but the subject in interesting enough, and it's sufficiently well made, that I'm pretty hooked on it at the moment.

    Season 2 comes out in February.

    I thought it was a bit ridiculous to start with, but then I started rooting for the characters and genuinely enjoyed it more when they started diverging from historic events. Those final few episodes with all the action are class.

    Aye, it's definitely getting progressing better as it goes along. I've got a couple of episodes left.

    Toggle Spoiler


    I thought the second season was already out for some reason, until I noticed a little advert in the app yesterday saying February, si I'm a bit gutted about the wait. But at least it's only a month.

    Think I seen a brief bit of the start of it but I can't remember it now. Is it the one where they live on a space ship above the earth and they kill anyone who breaks a law?

    I can't find that one at all now whatever it was (maybe wasn't Netflix) but all I remember is a load of youths had just been sent on a ship to a desolate earth (in the future), didn't really see any more after that.

    Think I did see the first half an episode of the moon one too but, like the Expanse attempt this week, it didn't grab me at all.

    Has anyone watched The Serpent? Heard good things but haven't watched yet. Currently finishing The Circle USA on Netflix

    Honestly I think the UK ones on 4 are peak reality TV and disappointed they didn't do one during Covid as it would have been fairly easy I think? Basically live action Werewolf/Mafia.

    I've started two things this week.

    Schitt's Creek I agree with whoever it was who said in here recently that all the characters when you start are total arseholes, and they were right, and yet I found it compelling enough to stick with it. I'm about 8 episodes in, I think, and I'm enjoying it so far. 20 minutes a pop and pretty watchable stuff and I get a few good laughs per episode.

    I've also started Umbrella Academy which I am also enjoying. Curious to see how the various threads are gonna come together. Odd that Robert Sheehan is basically playing his Misfits character with a twist, though.

    Will also be giving WandaVision a bash. With Mandalorian finished it's nice to have a weekly show to look forward to again.

    Wesley Snipes just came up in conversation and I remembered Blade. I don't think I ever saw it as a kid, but having watched the trailer I've got a huge urge to give it a go tonight, if only for the acid techno.



    Is it any good/fun or should I avoid?

    I still like the first two of those, but then I quite like a comic film so depending how you get on with those I may not be the best judge for you.

    I'd say it's for the most part just an action film that happens to be about vampires than being much like what Marvel do now.

    Wouldn't waste your time. It's average at best. I gave up after season 2.

    First Blade is very watchable but as you say, the club scene, that could send me to tears rn. 2 and 3 aren't worth it.

    The first Blade is decently watchable comic book anti-hero type stuff (before comic book films became 20 film wankathons), the second and third get progressively worse.

    The third has a masterful performance from none other than Triple H though.

    And a Wesley Snipes who frequently had body doubles for taxing scenes such as those that involved him being present in front of a camera rather than in his trailer smoking weed.
