    Krypton

    I thought this was pretty decent. I give the pilot two and a half thumbs up.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I didn't see this in the theater and attempted to watch it last night. I had already skimmed through this thread so I was already aware of the hyper negativity surrounding this film. But, yeah, I just turned it off at about the 30 minute mark. The overly manufactured drama was annoying (i.e...

    The Walking Dead

    I was talking to a friend who has stopped watching the show and he made a good point: the show has become too depressing. Think about it -- for the past 2 seasons nothing positive has happened that I can think of. It's just constant turmoil and torment. The good guys never win and any seeming...

    Well, we now know that the garbage people's retarded speech pattern was intentional. For what reason? Dunno.

    The Flash

    At any point any of these shows tries to get political, I'm deleting the series off my drive. Blacklighting and Supergirl are dead to me.

    The Flash

    What's extra dumb is that, given that he has the power to effectively stop time, he should have had zero trouble defeating most if not all of the non-super speed villains he's gone up against. Barry should be able to "Flashtime" punch DeVoe in the face and it's all over.

    Is the SpeedForce time control or something? Because I don't understand this whole "standing around really fast" thing.

    Felicia Day looked like she has some gut chub. Great episode. This series is probably my favorite of what's currently airing.

    The X-Files

    I thought the Hangman twins and Forehead sweat episodes were decent. As I've said before, the story-arc episodes are terrible.

    Third episode was great. Mooncake is a beast.

    That's funny because I only saw him as that "Farmers Insurance guy".

    But how fortuitous that Ransomware-boy was located in the same city. :rolleyes: Glad she beat his ass, though.

    Final Space

    Gary was initially annoying but quickly grew on me. I really like the humor as well as the art and animation. Also, the show doesn't appear to be episodic but more of a continuous story arc. Avocado's quick "mweow!' when Gary slaps him cracked me up.

    How the hell did Poppy survive, what? 2 years on a raft with herself? Quentin lost his mind right damn quick and Benedict offed himself almost immediately.

    Altered Carbon

    Watched the first episode, thought it was interesting. However, am I the only one who cannot stand the main actor? I hated that asshole in House of Cards. I don't know why, just something about him.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    It's not bad. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit at this point DESPITE the fact that, other than Saru, I don't particularly care about any of the characters.

    And Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji! I didn't realize how tall she is - 5'11".

    Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Because, other than just being assholes, I fail to see the point of trying to fuck with the other side.

    I swear to fucking God, man. I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a correction for months and just recently said, 'fuck it', and bought some ETF shares. I KNEW this was going to happen as soon as I bought anything. So, yeah, my fault. Sorry guys.

    Honestly, why the secrecy? Other than via the tiny doorway, there's no way to reach this other world -- there's no way to go there by conventional means. So it's not like one side could invade the other and ravage their resources.

    Well, after this past episode I think it's pretty obvious that they are intentionally keeping the tech in that building locked to the era of when the event happened. I assume the standard-operating-procedure is any visitors from the other side are not allowed to leave that area. That way they...

    The Magicians

    Well, I personally only have internet access and not cable so this is literally the only means I have to watch television programming. But, also, it's awfully damn convenient. For instance, I use a program named Sonarr, add in all the TV shows I want to watch, it will monitor when episodes are...

    Anyone familiar with Postman (REST API)?

    Sounds like what you're describing, with the colors and all, is the JSON structure isn't correct once you modify it. What you pasted above looks correct, however. You might want to try taking the modified JSON and pasting it into Notepad, or some other plain-jane text-editor, to strip away any...

    Funny ass episode. However, I feel like they try to cram too much into 45 minutes so we end up abruptly jumping from scene to scene.

    Wonder what's with the 80s-era computers and monochrome monitors? The show is obviously present-day judging by the cars and cellphones.

    Yeah, rolled my eyes with the "Make the Empire Glorious Again". Although it does make for a great acronym.

    Doctor Who

    I stopped watching Doctor Who when Capaldi came on board. I watched the first episode with him and it was just dumb as shit. For me that's the problem with Doctor Who -- I love the universe, but the stories and writing is usually mediocre to just bad. Out of the years of watching it from...

    I really liked Christopher Eccleston. That was way back in 2005 and only for one season (sorry, "series").
