Jay 36,978 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 They played completely different characters too, though. Kate Mara played a newspaper journalist trying to take him down, Neve Campbell played the campaign manager for Clair's senate run and then Frank's presidential re-election run.

Geez this show leaves nothing to the imagination. Makes me think people really do look better with clothes on. Just thank god we didn't get to see Anthony Hopkins in the noodle, that would have been more traumatic than anything these glorified blow up dolls had to endure. Oh and the show, yeah it was alright. Had all that "robot discovers sentience" bullshit that science fiction storytellers like to milk for all it's worth. Only this time it's done with a weird hybrid of Abrams/Nolan branded complexity and stylisation. Is this thing really telling me anything I haven't seen before in other crazy-robot-on-the-loose classics? It's an engrossing show nonetheless, but in future I think I'll stick with a short circuited Yul Brynner hunting guests for kicks. I watched the first episode.It's not golden age material but definitely watchable. At one point I thought, hey, that was straight from Blade Runner! I do miss the other theme parks.

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It's a blanket term but it's as subjective as anything else. There are people who no doubt consider Stranger Things to be "golden age". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,292 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 GOT S7E5. I don't know, somehow was expecting more... I really liked Arya and Sansa's moment together discussing Jon Snow (not) returning. Am also sensing it won't be long before I finally discover what Littlefinger is up to, but Arya might be playing with fire by getting in his way. Really getting tired of Kit Harrington. It also seems a little far-fetched for Varys and Tyrion to suggest Dany won't become her father IF she's given the right counsel. She's not that unhinged. Other than that, I really don't like where the Lannister storyline is going: it can't become a truce in which Cersei survives. They can become a band of brothers for me, but not before that woman is out of the game. The ending was also not that good, except the hound going 'will you shut your hole'?

From code displays to AI concepts, nothing stood out to me (as a computer science graduate who took a couple of cognitive science courses) as obviously wrong or decidedly far-fetched. And that's something that's very rare in film and TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,487 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Riverdale It's a Twin Peaks ripoff from the perspective of the kids.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The first couple of episodes of The Last on Earth. Maybe it has potential. The 20 min pilot was very quickly turning me off, but luckily I suppose, the second instalment automatically played immediately after it ended - with no pause. So we plodded on with it. Another 20 mins later and it seems there might be reason enough to carry on. The difficult first intro into new TV comedy is at least out of the way.
