Indeed!

Episode 6 of the expanse

[madmaltese★ 2,553]

Got 3 hours into The Irishman before I had to stop (due to kids lol). Movie went by super fast and is great. Only complaint is that De Niro's character legit looked 60 when he started his 'career' and hes refered to as some kid which just felt strange. Seeing all these legendary actors together is excellent though

I couldn’t agree more  

 

still...this was a once-in-a-lifetime film (Scorsese and these actors -especially Pacino - on the same project). It’s like a hall of fame tribute

Yeah without a doubt. In some ways it feels like a good bye from these hall of famers. Not only to seeing them together or maybe on film at all, but also to this style of film.

I don't think I can get into The Expanse, because I'd have to watch Seasons 2 and 3 before even starting 4.

And technically, part of me kind of wants to rewatch Season 1 again.

 

I'll probably binge on something light this next week, I will clearly watch the final episode of Watchmen, which they say will be SIXTY-SEVEN MINUTES long

 

And then this time next week..............its all Witcher baby.

Yeah, seasons 2 and 3 (especially 3) are essential. It’s the deepest sci-fi show I’ve seen. They explore some pretty cool shit. The second half of season 2 was just ok. But season 3 is godly, and 4 is on its way to maybe surpassing it  (on ep 7)

Im on ep 6. Burn Gorman is such an underrated actor, he makes the perfect villain and deserves more of those types of roles

For real!!! Btw, I just finished it. Another great season! It was glorious watching it in 4K too

I really enjoyed this weeks episode of Mandalorian. The last 3 episodes haven’t driven the main plot forward really at all but this most recent one was great fun and sweet action. That strobe light hallway scene was awesome. With only two more episodes left, I hope they can match the quality of the opening of the season.

I read something on the television subreddit where people compared it to 90's tv shows that were about "adventures" of a person.

 

So, they related it to Xena or The Legend of Hercules. And I understand that.

 

Modern tv watchers probably may not like that, because they DEMAND an overarching story over the course of a season. But I remember when tv was like that. Every episode was "save a town" just for that episode.

 

However, Xena or Star Trek TNG were closer to 1 hour, like 43 minutes. So hopefully the show is close to an hour in order to make each episode stand on its own.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if they spend Season 1 just establishing the characters, and then Season 2 begins to have an overarching story.

Yeah, I definitely see a 90’s tv vibe here.

Haha pretty much. Amazing film though. The last hour or so was pretty depressing

I just finished it. The finale was nuts, the next season is going to be crazy.

I liked Bill Burr in the Mandalorian as one of the mercenaries for the mission in episode 6. He talked like a Gungan saying, "who'sa unda' dat face?" Big surprise!: the Mandalorian is Jar Jar Binks!

What a great conclusion to The Watchmen story. I’m glad they aren’t making a season 2. Every arc was tied up nicely

That was the series finale?

 

I watched it. Pun intended. 
 

Jamesus can walk on water.

 

I think I’ll have a cigarette to conclude that season.

I heard that, its fantastic news.

 

And, it now makes me getting a good ticket to the next RHCP tour a top priority, because it will probably be their last tour/album with the best lineup.

 

I watched the very first episode of The Marvelous Ms. Maisel. Very sharp and funny show, so I do need to start watching that.

 

And I started watching The Boys, and ended up watching the first three episodes. So I should be knocking that out very soon, possibly during this week.

 

And now..........I am preparing a snack and a drink and getting ready to go watch the final episode of Watchmen.

[jehurey 3,228]

 

Very satisfying finale. Actually more straightforward and logical that what I was anticipating. They made a point to explain everything that needed to be explained.

 

Some of explanation almost felt like it was breaking the 4th wall, and I was chuckling because the person talking was talking directly to the audience.

 

I'm gonna enjoy listening to the final podcast tomorrow.
