Here's her performance after they meddled with it, I preferred her version. I think that they screw things up in these talent programs by adding too much pretentious nonsense into the mix.

So is this going to have zones or are they trying the seamless world bs again?

Lizzie was a strong, empowered, fairly unattractive black woman who was catapulted to success based on the virtue of her past oppression and victimhood. That was the point of her character.

Wait for it...

I anticipate the return of Darth Avocado.

The bomb rips open a giant hole in the hull and yet Avocado isn't a vapor cloud. He'll be back, buck up.

Does anyone else not really buy JK Simmons as good Howard? He plays an asshole very well but whenever he's trying to be sincere or genuinely emotional he seems so flat and hollow to me. Anyway as others have said the show is really quite slow and the characters themselves don't help with that...

So the Academy loved it, my review is officially vindicated! If their criteria for best picture is good CGI and around 30 min of high quality viewing then just how many snubbed best picture films are languishing in bargain bins I wonder? :D

This half season per season thing was stupid but the show was fun. I just wish the ending had more of an impact beyond the Terror screwing himself over for the lulz but it was in keeping with the tone of the show I guess.

Having played a bit more I'm finding that this is nowhere near as replayable as FTL sadly. I'm still glad I go it but it feels a bit too simple mechanically. The different squad types do force you to adjust to an ability shuffle but everything always comes down to pushing things around in the...

The older cleaning lady was the only comic relief that I can recall so in that I agree with you, it wasn't completely humorless but it was overshadowed by the violence. As for self importance? I never claimed that it was. I just felt that some of the themes they injected into the story were...

Same, it always hurts to flawless a couple islands to then make some colossal oversight and kill a pilot or fail the last bonus you need. Also was anyone else expecting a third phase or some ultimate boss fight with a Queen? I enjoyed the finale but I was expecting some FTL style multi stage...

I went into this expecting nothing and found a humorless remake of Splash featuring a creepy fish man who ate live cats and a desperately horny mute girl with some loose screws instead of a pretty blond and Tom Hanks. Seriously, there was absolutely nothing original about it except for everyone...

The original was a fun, wholesome little family show. I don't know why they feel the need to remake it but I suppose the licensing was cheap enough. Hopefully they have someone that can write well enough to make the thing at least somewhat charming.

I wonder if it was an oversight to dodge the gay quota or if someone actually made a choice. Either way it's funny.

I just finished season 1 and it was alright; it lacked the nuance, characterization and variety of perspective that The Wire had but it was watchable. Pretty much everything takes place from the perspective of several different thugs so everything boils down to insult > kill. It also becomes...

I understand Bancroft's code, I really do. The problem is that everyone telling him these things is hostile towards him and he has little reason to take what they say at face value. Basically the only voice he could perhaps trust in that instance was that of his wife who admitted to giving him...

Yes obviously or Bancroft's story would have been completely different. I was just talking logical assumptions like popular uprisings.

Well Mary Lou knew nothing about what was done to her chip, all she could say was that Bancroft real killed a prostitute in an establishment that probably had clauses in place to protect their clientele from the repercussions of any sort of "accidental" killing anyway. I mean look at what went...

I remember this but there was no damning evidence available to prosecute Bancroft with, only a video clip of some sleeve talking who can't be questioned further. Everything in the end was based off of the deductions of some former terrorist hireling and Bancroft's own inexplicable willingness...

Having never read the books I couldn't fathom what made Envoys so special that a 300+ year old trillionaire would bother to arrange a pardon for one in order to play detective for him. All the flashbacks served to do was showcase generic action sequences that any competent fighter in the show...

It's all about the economy, you need to develop a housing area that makes full use of those buildings asap and then find another piece of land that you can use to build another one afterwards.

I just finished it too, what a great show. There were far more laughs to be had than from any standard comedy that I can remember watching in a long time.

It hit its stride around mid season but then they just spun their wheels until the end, preventing any further plot development before next season. Which was a shame because I thoroughly enjoyed some of the episodes but things became very redundant and a bit boring in the end.

16 I tried to do the same but I went into it without paying enough attention to the numbers/expansion game which as it turns out is vital to success. Also some of the units/towers aren't balanced well yet like soldiers, lucifers and shock towers to the point that I don't even build them now...

Having played the heck out of it recently it's a more or less complete experience minus the scripted campaign mode but as it stands it's a challenging game that feels wonderful to beat. Until you figure out what you need to do though it can be quite infuriating so it's a good idea to watch some...

Alias Grace was probably the most memorable show of the year for me; it had great casting and wonderful dialogue to go along with an intriguing story. Its a period psychological mystery about a servant girl convicted of murder, it takes the format of a series of interviews between her and an...

Every major plot point in the first episode was predictable to the point of laziness but the acting/casting seems decent; some of the accents were very weird for a French setting though. I do hope it gets more interesting. The quarrel to the knee was pretty funny.

It was fine if you don't mind a simple and predictable western full of recoilless guns, villains who don't value their lives at all, somewhat bland characters preforming in stock roles and a lesbian love spat to meet the gay quota. It was really just a 2 episode experience plot wise; the other...

It's too bad that Beth didn't aim a little higher. But the cat did bring on the feels.

For all the effort they've put into these continuing story-lines they certainly seem just as committed to ensuring that nothing is ever allowed to progress in a satisfying way. I miss the old days where some random bs would happen to cap off an emotional/thoughtful moment and then Kenny would...

No I never shared my info with anyone. The account was never banned but was suspended as a result of whatever nonsense the person who stripped it got up to in EC I presume. They said it was suspended due to suspicious activity and restored access but I logged back in just to see my guys near...

I vaguely recall reading here or on the other forum that awhile back a GM or someone was stripping inactive accounts of items. Would someone be kind enough to post what they remember of the incident? It seems that might have happened to my account.

I gave this another shot and liked it better this time around but I still hate the initial start. There are some things that you just shouldn't need to grind credits for like better loot chance, being able to view repair ships and the threat levels on the map. Dying over and over again because...

I had completely forgotten how retarded Coirnav looked.

I didn't like this mainly because of how reliant your experience is on the RNG and that the progression is based on dying and buying things post death. I prefer games where you have initial control and your subsequent decisions determine how you do, in this game you can be dicked over as soon...

Looks like the berries will be a thing next season for better or worse. Their absence didn't bother me though so I found this episode to be one of the funnier ones this season which admittedly isn't saying much but I actually laughed more than 0-2 times this episode which puts it above the rest...

That definitely would have worked better but as I brought up a couple pages ago her whole escape scene was scripted and in such a way as to be remarkably similar to the daily safe heist in Sweetwater which may point to some kind of reveal later down the road or maybe not. Anyway it doesn't make...

Upon further reflection I was taken aback by the similarities of tone and structure that exist between Maeve's escape and the Sweetwater safe heist. They both open up with a poorly concealed attempt to hide in plain sight followed by the swift death of the person who investigates, from there...

I enjoyed the ending quite a bit and was grinning right along with William there at the end but the issue that soured the experience for me, as always, was Maeve; as yet another perfect moment to kill her off, risk free, is ignored and that farce with the brain dead security guards was...
