Wait, what ? All of those had wildly ballooning budgets, Stranger Things is like the worst case of that to have ever existed in TV I think - it went from like 3mil/ep s1 to 30mil/ep s4.

I thought the ep1 heist was great, an amusing poke at the general star wars trend of 'spaceships are basically magical horses, anyone can ride one to anywhere in zero elapsed time and they don't need fuel'

I watch Daredevil for the action and fight choreography and this delivered.... for the first and last episodes. Pity about the rest of it. If I wanted to watch a show about marriage counseling I'd turn the tv off and go outside while there is still time. Has there ever been a story about...

I actually stopped common people and came back to finish it later because it was too depressing. It's very Black Mirror though. Overall I thought the season was pretty good, even if some of them leaned more into outright sci-fi than the usual fare. One minor thing that bugged me about...

The first ep was pretty boring, but I though that one was really good. Some great action, although I am forced to wonder about using fuel bombs right next to a wooden palisade.

Ninja and Assassin - LOL It's dumb, but it is my kind of dumb, I found it hilarious.

Looks like the new one is doing tactical combat on the strategic map. With such a small possibility space, AI tactical performance should be a lot better hopefully.

Yeah, the first loop is definitely the weakest - was why I was lukewarm toward it at first. It picks up significantly after the first time she gets killed. As for Ritley - it has racism and lesbians in it, but it's not a story about racism or lesbians, nor is it preachy or moralistic. If the...

I don't know that it is the worst Dr Who episode ever, but it certainly has the worst 'Noooooooo' scene in cinema history.

It was ok. Bonus points if you are a fan of ultraviolence I guess ? I kind of feel they doubled down on that after being told they couldn't have any boobs.

Been a while since I recommended anything - too much to follow, and lot of things kind of fizzle out, so I like to give it at least a completed book's worth before suggesting. With those criteria met, I offer up : Years of Apocalypse This a time loop story with considerably more going on than...

This is pretty fun - what's the shameful lies about him only having one good skill though ? He also clearly has SSS rank denseness - who needs depleted uranium when you can use this guy's grasp of subtext as a weapon. Still - 'rescued girl from angry cow' is pretty good as a first adventure ;p

Maybe - it seemed more to me that they were frustrated that people watching the show didn't realize that they were being insulted, so they have become increasingly heavy-handed to the point that even people who might have laughed or agreed with them are left rolling their eyes at how low-effort...

My one word review: Wut. lol. Apparently continuity, plausibility and the idea of causality are things that hamper lesser writers 8)

Sooo apparently I completely missed the starter area and you aren't supposed to be fighting packs of rathound alphas at level 2. Who knew ? ;p
