    The Netflix Thread

    I Googled this after seeing your post and everyone calls it the funniest thing Netflix has ever made. The first sketch (with the door) I chuckled at. Made it halfway through the third and turned it off (which made me a little sad because it was with the guy who was Richard Splett on Veep). I...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Finally got around to watching it. First, I want to start off by saying all the recommendations to watch this after Captain America were retarded. Yeah, chronologically it kind of makes sense, but a lot of shit doesn't make sense, like who SHIELD is, nor the mid-credits sequence which would ruin...

    It's not TV, it's HBO! Ranking every full-length series thus far.

    Westworld being so high is one of the few that stood out as blatantly wrong. When True Blood is so low because of some meandering final seasons, I don't think Westworld deserves to be high based on a single good one (and in retrospect, the first season wasn't actually as good as a whole; much...

    Deadwood

    So do I need to rewatch the show before this? It's been well over a decade since I watched it and I literally remember nothing except Al saying "cocksucker."

    Damn, thought this was going to be a Kim Jong Un bio-pic.

    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    I couldn't make it through the first couple episodes of the 2nd season. Too much SJW shit that shouldn't be in a period piece. Especially not a comedy.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Yep. They're all getting greedy and want their piece of the pie (hell if I know why it took them so long). We're essentially going to get what we asked for with cable, which was pay for the channels you want. Unfortunately, they'll end up costing WAY more than they did when bundled by...

    Military Service

    There was a period of time that any false claim of military service was punishable under Stolen Valor. Socnet used to bust people and it was amazingly entertaining. Once Congress changed it so that it was harder to prosecute (have to prove it was for monetary gain) it kind of killed the fun of...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Looks like this is up at the normal places. Good timing, as my wife and I just decided to try watching all the movies. Neither of us has watched many of them; both have seen Iron Man, the Guardians movies, both Ant Man movies, Black Panther, and the last two Avengers (I've also seen the other...

    Survivor

    I don't think most people fault Chris for winning. I mean, he played the shit out of his situation. Most people are annoyed by the producers who completely fucked the whole game up.

    Renewed/Cancelled Shows

    Yeah, I really like Superstore. I was surprised because I always assumed it was just some stupid Walmart show. Life in Pieces is (was) decently funny, and it's sad that CBS cancels that and keeps 50 versions of NCIS. I do wonder if the actors are costing too much at this point.

    The Division 2

    The really crazy one to me there is the damage to named. Holy crap. Almost 16M vs 4M, 2M, and 5M. They just hiding all the time? But yeah, I haven't played this game in a month. Kind of lost all motivation once WT5 released. I enjoyed the hell out of it when everything was dropping at 450GS...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think most of the web theorizers for LOST were pissed that the "perjury" theory was one of the oldest, and they outright said we were wrong. And then it ended up being perjury. Fuck them. That and having a million fucking cool things that were promised would be answered and fucking none of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I actually thought this was going to happen during the scene...at least the Jon getting torched and nothing happening. And it would've made some sense of the undead dragon blasting little chunks of walls and Jon being okay. Alas, that wasn't to be.

    The memes are fast. Best part of the season.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, Jon was just an emo bitch who didn't think at all this season. The most egregious are Littlefinger and Varys. Littlefinger became a shell of a character once he got to Winterfell. Varys redeemed himself slightly in his last episode, but that was after several seasons of being neutered...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That one post a while back about writing like characters would act versus toward an end state (can't remember what the two styles were called) seems pretty on point. The characters since D&D took over are just chess pieces. They don't act like people would and are only used to move the story along.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, that one befuddled me. No dicks, and no women even if they did. And then they fucked off to some random island anyway. Which makes me wonder why they made Jon go to the wall after that ship left port. He could've been King of the North, no?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Oh, and once again, why did the gate close? If there's still a giant hole in the wall...why? Seems like they're signalling the Free Men aren't welcome south of the wall. Ditto on why the Night's Watch even exists.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Same as above. Was the Night King even a threat if not for Bran? He would've been stuck behind the wall forever. Bran essentially unleashed him to menace the world...because he knew at the end he'd get to be king.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Forgot about Hodor. Bran let him die along with untold others (hundreds of thousands...millions?) all knowing it was to get him to the throne. Shit, he made Hodor braindead and then killed him so he could be king. Bran is by far the biggest villain of the story. Change my mind.

    I mean, they had a 30 second scene of Tyrion arranging chairs. Almost as bad as 5 chapters about turtle watching. And that ending montage that just went on...and on...and on...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Wow, what a shitshow of disappointment. Can't believe the spoilers were real. I will say the episode was actually decent all things considered until the Council of Who Gives a Fuck. The Dany death actually was shot pretty well. Feel bad for Peter Dinklage. He killed it this season. Can someone...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's sad that rando's on the internet can make a shit scene so much better. It's still terrible motivation for her, but someone who's just making a meme who out-produces these people who are likely making millions for it? It's pathetic, really.

    Hadn't really considered the Yazuka games, but oddly I was looking at replaying Sleeping Dogs this morning, but this sounds like a better version. Would gladly take it! Thanks.

    Military Service

    I don't want to downplay what she did, but the way that reads to someone who was in the community, it tries to make things sound a lot cooler than they really are. If she were a man, no one would bat an eye at those credentials (outside of the education part, which is pretty impressive given...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Ironically, we've been saying this since the ADwD release and the first season started. Somehow he's done the impossible and survived until the conclusion of the story. And he's seen how poorly it's been received. Even if he had both of the final books completed, my bet would be he'd say fuck...

    What are the odds that with how poorly received this ending has been, he just decides to never finish? I feel like pretty high.

    Finally caught up with the last three weeks as I wasn't around to watch, but I'm a few dozen pages behind. Lots of bitching about Cersei being awful, but I swear after reading books 4 and 5 she had a lot of redemption (after we got some Cersei chapters). Maybe people are just attributing her...

    Ugh, what a terrible finish to the season. Devens was fucking amazing. Chris really did play the best move possible. It was make fire for the win, or someone else wins. I will say Lauren is a fucking smokeshow. Looking forward to seeing Devens on another season, which is almost guaranteed at...

    That used to piss me off when I lived in Kentucky. It'd be a warning if there was any landing in the entire county. County is just way too large for everyone to panic about.

    Easy answerr is that it takes time for the military to deploy. We could scramble some jets if it's decently close by, but that's about it.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Saw it last night. Somehow I completely missed the girl power scene. Like, I saw it, but didn't even notice it was all female characters. It might have been that I was distracted by the moth chick who doesn't really do anything. Anyway, my 12 year old niece lost her shit. Which I found...

    It's one of those things again, we're starved for time and complain about how they can't fit shit in, but we waste a scene with some little girl who wants to fight and gets convinced not to? What the fuck is that? Only redeeming part was the shit with Tormund was fucking hilarious.
