    The Walking Dead

    These are my feelings as well, I stopped watching the show somewhere after the big prison showdown and only picked it up again because I heard that Rick got kicked in the balls. Now I'm reminded of why I stopped watching again; all of the unlikable characters, time killing dramatic stares...

    Westworld

    Everything revolving around Maeve continues to be absolute poison but this episode gave me hope; it established the fact that her situation isn't organic, it's been engineered (given that she is completely shielded from park surveillance) and that her entire storyline is one of Ford's social...

    The Crown

    This was very well done and had a higher production value than the typical Monarchical drama from the BBC or elsewhere. Usually in these types of shows the focus hardly ever leaves the monarch and the palace they are stuck in; this show had a broader scope with a variety of actors, settings and...

    South Park

    Well it certainly felt like something that was hastily whipped together at the last moment. Apart from the water sport incident this hasn't been a very entertaining season for me, it feels like each episode is trying to build towards something in the future to detriment of any comedy before then.

    Westworld

    The first episode was immersive and intense, last nights was the complete opposite. I don't want to know what kind of mental gymnastics are required to view them as being equal in quality. Anyway I agree that the only way to make sense of the techs is if they are hosts themselves without any...

    Westworld

    This was the first episode of the series that I truly disliked. Everything having to do with the two technicians was absurdly contrived; from the lack of internal security in this multi billion dollar facility to the inexplicable willingness of these two to aid a rogue AI, nothing made sense...

    Rimworld

    Mental breaks aren't really a big threat once you understand things better but it's a shame that there isn't a real tutorial yet to walk players through all the details. The best way to start the game is to watch some let's plays of people who have played a bit so you can figure things out...

    Bojack Horseman

    It's just like the other seasons, light until the last few episodes and then the depression kicks in. Mr. Peanutbutter as the Governor next season sounds fun though.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    It sounds like a great way to ensure that every season lives up to the exceedingly high standards set by the first season of any scifi series.

    Archer

    It was amusing on a slapstick level and given how they dressed everyone it was obvious that the seduction storyline could go nowhere. Anyway I wonder what they'll try next season, bounty hunting?

    The Americans

    It felt like I've waited three seasons for Phillip and Elizabeth to finally stop coddling Paige, that was a bit satisfying. I still wish that she had been shipped off to Russia as all of the circumlocuitous family drama regarding her has detracted from the rest of the show for me. Apart from...

    Stellaris

    The only thing that seems to meaningfully set this apart from any of the other space 4x games that have been released over the past few years is the 32 player multiplayer. It's a shame that the combat is so hands off and that there's no tactical use to any of the stellar bodies or anomalies...

    Animals HBO

    The trailer got me excited... but then I watched the first episode and found lots of slow, awkward, humorless babble. Here's hoping that they find their stride fast and the rest are better.

    Darkest Dungeon

    I'm probably sure this doesn't exist as I've looked around but on the off chance that I missed it does anyone know if there is a mod out there that disables combat animations? I played the heck out of this game in early access and I noticed it then but after a few hours now I can't stand how...

    The Crown

    It looks good but would it kill someone to create a show about a monarchy other than one in Britain? The Borgia's was great largely in part because it felt fresh and different. Take a map of Europe/Asia and throw a dart FFS I'm sure there are tons of other interesting stories that haven't been...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Back in the day on live I did velks castle in a group for decent exp and some drops/gems. Also did siren's grotto at the bottom of the well which isn't bad at all if you are religious about dispelling everything and can resit or stun them fairly reliably. If you are asking about soloing as a...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    The ghosts in Venril's pit are very good exp. It's not easy but it was novel and fun, decent gem drops too.

    What did you just read?

    I read them all a few years ago and while I don't remember much about them I do recall not being very satisfied with where they went in the end. It was another case of an interesting premise taken nowhere all that interesting unfortunately. If you're already on the fence about continuing then...

    I charm killed in BW to mid 50's then KC with my necro till 60, it was pretty fun but not relaxing in any way.

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    At this point I would respect him more if he just had Kvothe pull an unreliable narrator and informed Chronicler that he was just pulling his leg that night and proceeded to tell him the true story of what happened during the time frame of book two. I'm sure it would be easier to start again...

    Sicario (2015)

    From my point of view this wasn't a movie in the usual sense, it was more of a statement about how things can truly function when the decision is made somewhere. It wasn't entertainment. At least I didn't find it to be as none of the characters were particularly sympathetic and as such there...

    The Martian (2015)

    I finally got around to watching this; I was leery of another space flick after Gravity's explosion fest of a story (yeah lynch me) but this was pretty good. A little dull at times and predictable but overall a decent feel good movie with some enjoyable humor, character and tension. I...

    The Knick

    Well that ending... was an anti climax. Logically it was bound to happen to him at some point but what an unsatisfying end to an otherwise good show, despite the realism. That said it looks like they might make a third season of this but it wasn't planned from the start.

    I'm not getting the reference if there is one.

    The Knick

    Every time the weekly racial injustice segment of each episode runs I can't help but ask; Edwards why don't you go back to France? You had to have been less frustrated, you were allowed to train, practice and publish without being shat upon... whats the deal? Pack up your family and go...

    South Park

    First completely WTF episode that I've seen in years and it was hilarious. They went back to their roots with this one as far as random lunacy goes.

    Ray Donovan

    Sometimes the surface details of certain characters are more than enough to add that element of flavor that they provide to a story. Thus providing fully fleshed out points of view for each of his family members is completely unnecessary for us to understand what is going on in his home life...

    Ray Donovan

    Yes and Cochran giving up right before the cops would have stormed in, saved him and found the evidence he planted is absurd even if Ray really did bash his head in; after all it's not like he has much to live for besides vengeance. Also love how Finny seems to have zero security besides Ray...

    What did you just read?

    Your post was reminiscent of the reviews that you would find on the back of a novel or other advertisement which was fun whether it was intentional or not. As for the book, I read it a few years ago and remember enjoying it for the most part.

    Humans

    It felt pretty happy considering that in reality their family would probably have been ruined by getting involved in the way that they did and all of the synths would have likely been identified and re rounded up in short order considering Britain has at least 1 public surveillance camera for...

    Inside Out (2015)

    I will second the dull comment. It started out strong with the intro to the psyche and the mood swings but then it seemed like they decided to just tread water the remaining 75% of the film with those overly long Joy adventure sequences. The premise of the film was good but they should have...

    Bojack Horseman

    It's still depressing and not very funny most of the time but it was entertaining and just as enjoyable as the first season.

    Balto was a really good animation and Homeward Bound was fun also if your kids like dogs.

    No Willow? I loved that one as a kid as well as the old Disney animations like sword in the stone and robin hood. Also loved the Three Stooges to death.

    Webcomics thread

    Does anyone have a recommendation for something that is well written and completed or at the very least has some well developed arcs and character development? I'm weary of all these 100+ page comics that seem to have no ambition beyond dragging things out as long as possible because the author...

    Star Drive 2.

    If you have played any space 4x in the last few years then you will be done with this game after a few hours when it's few novelties have become stale. It's another case of a game's foundation being released before anything truly defining and interesting has been added to it to take you beyond...

    I miss Viole. It's never a good sign when authors rehash what's come before and deny their characters a chance to grow and change for better or worse.

    This was a beautiful episode and Roger & Peggy really made it shine.

    [manga] Everything Else

    These last few chapters of ToG are making me feel that Rachel might have had some good reasons for trying to kill off Bam. Judging from what hes said he wants to what? Drag her back to a cave so he can stroke his 'precious' in quiet isolation and live happily ever after? *shiver*
