Is a hashtag of any use if I don't tweet? I do not know how much material they intend to cover in this second half of the season. Leviathan Wakes took a season and a half, Caliban's War took a season. They may intend to cover Abaddon's Gate in just this second half. No, the hashtag is of little use. I do not use Twitter either. In fact, I thoroughly despise its existence. You could wander over to the sub on Reddit and subscribe though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard, the set for Avasarala's office was the only one that had been struck. The rest of set striking was put on hold, and remains there. At the very least, the Roci set is intact, as the cast and crew had a watch party there last night. They may intended to strike Avasarala's office anyway, as she gets the SG's office now. The propmaster, visual effects supervisor, and James S.A. Corey are all fairly communicative on Reddit most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Started Dexter after a couple co workers urged me to do so. On episode 4. Some of the characters and dialogue is cheesy, but I’m intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory that any great physical comedian- which I consider Hader to be, even if he doesn't do a lot of the pratfalls and such- is an even better dramatic actor waiting to happen. Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Bill Murray... I think John Candy and Chris Farley had massive dramatic potential... Jack Black and Adam Sandler actually have really solid dramatic performances under their belts... Melissa McCarthy gave a taste of it in St. Vincent... I know I'm forgetting some great female comics... Sorry. I'm anxious to see Hader open up the playbook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Safe(mystery/drama) on Netflix seems pretty good after 4 episodes. It’s starting to get like it might run off the rails a bit, but we’ll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Ironfist is another Marvel series that’s pretty good. Only on Netflix I believe. Only three episodes in, but the series doesn’t seem to focus on the super human powers much, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevon67 2,368 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Little off subject......Back around 2001 I caught about 5mins of a show my then girlfriend was watching as I was tying my tie headed for work......As I was driving to work I thought show wont last........Flash forward to 2003 and watched my first episode and thought just how wrong I was.....the show become one of my favorite shows and to this day I laugh my arse off watching re-runs.........that show was Malcolm in the Middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) The Staircase(Netflix true crime) has been really good. 13 episodes in total, we’re about halfway through. Edited June 19, 2018 by ShocksMyBrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have recently made an effort to watch a good bit of Netflix series. I would like 1 episode of each until I got hooked on one to finish before moving on to another. Currently on the Frankenstein Chronicles. Slow start but really started getting binge worthy. Only 6 episodes in each of the 2 seasons but interesting nonetheless. About half way through 2nd season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Succession on HBO has been fantastic so far. Corporate drama. We also started Goliath on Amazon. Been powering through it. Really great stuff from Billy Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I’ve noticed that PlayStation Vue and Direct TV Now have upped their monthly packages five bucks. With that said, how is Direct TV Now? Does it have ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The Netflix movie “How it Ends” is mind numblingly dissatisfying. It’s a post-apocalyptic movie with potential, but tbe last twenty minutes absolutely killed the movie.Instead of providing any sense of resolution, the movie decides to wrap up on more cliffhangers without answering the questions that persisted throughout the movie. So, bad, that’s “How it Ends.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,671 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Just started Bates Motel and finished season 1 already. INCREDIBLE SHOW. Def has me hooked already. Not a lot of people to root for in this show but it is so addicting and a great binge watch so far. Almost done with season 2. Two episodes left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
