I disagree- I watched the last episode of HoTD and can barely remember any of it-- it's like an endurance sport getting through an episode. Not that I love Rings of Power. And yes, everyone is probably spot on about it being too derivative of it's source material and its writers just being lame...

Are there no new ideas in the world? This was a great foreign film. Creepy and disturbing. Let's remake Shane and make him a freed slave.

I am glad I read this-- 1 star? It was on my potential watch list. Thanks

I did-- this show is the bomb! I liked how it ended. Loved the creep-factor and mind-fuckedness of it. Yeah, Videodrome may have done it better, but I bet that film doesn't hold up / age well with time. The cast was on-point. They were all really good actors. The sets were like Miami Vice...

She Hulk is so damn inconsistent. The penultimate episode (or maybe the one before that) was brilliant (the therapy episode). The finale was off the rails bad. So "meta" that it broke the 5th wall of interest... I'm sure there were a lot of really funny inside jokes with the cast and the...

I made it to episode 4. Maybe I'll finish it. It definitely is (at least in part) an homage to Cronenberg and Lynch. Hell, the main character say so! It does suffer, like far too many streaming services series, from poor pacing. In other words, they run things to long. I'm on episode 4 and I am...

This is the one that got me:

Only one of those girls looks hot before the beer...

It's true-- I am an idiot. Why do I go for White Castle on occasion when I know it's little more than gristle? Or how can I refuse a little bag of funyuns at the checkout?

Point taken. I get it.

Well, it's not like Peter Jackson did his volcano research either-- Sam and Frodo did just fine hanging out in the molten lava and poison gas of Mount Doom in Return of the King... but I suspect there is a robust research staff somewhere that is even more irate than we are on the lack of...

PS-- just watched some nerdist podcast thing on youtube going over the seventh episode. While it was clear that the staff of nerdist didn't LOVE the episode (or the prior ones), they bring up a ton of points that make it clear that there actually is a solid research staff behind this thing...

I really liked the first season. This show is especially poignant because it tries to remain faithful to the source material (even to the point of retaining the risky title "His Dark Materials.") I am looking forward to it; although it was paced poorly season 2, as I recall. It's a lot of...

This episode was slow. It's becoming dumb entertainment. I don't mind Elrond or the elves. Don't know who the fire-stealing/throwing/staff holding people were though. Did I miss something? It is really dumb what they did in those closing seconds. That's what SERIOUSLY bad movies do when they...

BTW; any nit-picking regarding volcanology must never have paid attention during the end scenes of "Return of the King" where Frodo and Sam were gaying it up in 2000 degree heat and poison gases waiting for the eagles . last episode was much better. The thing that really is unclear to me is why...

That sums it up ingeniously.

Yeah-- they revolted... burned the plantation to the ground. But maybe, since these vampires are sexually competent, we can have lesbian vampires sixty-nining each other during their periods?

I'll repeat my post from rustled here-- This is going to be another abomination that will piss of the fan-base and up the faggotry to 11... So let's take another franchise with a loyal, venomous fan-base (who were already comfortable with flexible gender roles) and force-feed them...

Keep watching. Ther show is great.

So let's take another franchise with a loyal, venomous fan-base (who were already comfortable with flexible gender roles) and force-feed them over-the-top pedantic faggotry and completely piss off hundreds of thousands of loyal readers. Why? Because being ecclectic isn't enough. Being tolerant...

The guy oooozes charisma. Way more than the Rock. He's pretty damned talented (even if his arms look too veiny). I bet he's nice to his fans too.

The time jump and the newer cast members are too jarring. Man this show is a train wreck. It makes Rings of Power look like Le Mort d Artur. And Rings of Power makes She Hulk look like the Tempest. At least there are new episodes on of Lower Decks.

I just watched it as well-- I am sad that there is such an overwhelming lack of creativity that so much of new movies/tv/fiction/media has to be re-imaging/re-imagining of past material. And, if you are going to do this, don't do it with IPs that are as revered as Quantum Leap. Let's face it...

Hahaha - very telling for certain (as is that I cannot get a single package or email from Prime that isn't overwhelmingly branded "Rings of Power." For what it's worth, I made it through all of Star Trek: Strange new worlds on Paramount + codes. One would expire and they would send another one...

See what I mean? even though youtube cuts of her abs and her black pleather skirt and tube top...

It was bad on a lot of levels. But hell, the episodes are like 19 minutes long... About the episode: The narrative irony was that they both didn't know what they wanted. Jenn on many levels even down to the dress and her role in the wedding. The bride because she didn't want to be upstaged. But...

Scott Bakula was so damn charming and likeable... They can't have someone less so.

I am getting lost in the flood of the inconsistencies of the characters' well, characters! And ewwwwwww, big secret that the fags were fags, as they couldn't resist being fags in the fields, fags in hallways, fags at the king's reception. Big fucking secret!! You have got to be kidding me! Sad...

PS-- I had a massive network outage thanks to Xfinity. So, I watched good old fashioned over-the-air TV. You know what you can watch over the airways without cable or subscriptions? Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You know what? I watched the episode that introduced Angel to the franchise. Gee-zus...

I am still enjoying it. But, for the billion dollars that they spent, I do wish that they would have spent more on writers. Tolkien understood language, rhetoric, poetry and narrative voice. These writer's do not. And, for it's inevitable parallel comparison to HoTD; I am enjoying this show...

At least we are not the only part of North America that has caved to insanity. I thought the Canadians hadn't caved to wokeness as we have.

New season is ongoing and it rocks. If Lord of the Rings paid 10% of the attention and reverence to the source material as this show does, it would be way better. Seriously, this show is immensely funny and deep and clever. Very reverent but completely unique. Brilliant stuff. I shed a tear...

Using the Slice app- What a piece of shit. I cannot believe they got over $44 Million funding for this. It is supposed to help the local pizza places compeat with Dominoes and Pizza Hut. Not a chance: I was emailed a 10% coupon for using the app along with a note to help support local pizza...

Writing will make all the difference. It's just to easy to throw money at media projects these days and give two shits about quality writing. I love the original film-- LOVE IT! But it really isn't Constantine the DC character or product. But, who cares at this point? It's the alternate...
