Today's new episode was an absolute belter. It was elongated from being in low gravity for generations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLETTI Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I guess it could be mentioned in the wrestling thread, but John Cena and NICOLE BYER are gonna be hosting new episodes of Wipeout?! My lord, I hope it's John trying to seriously call the action while Nicole laughs hysterically and constantly hits on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Finally finished The Affair. Season 5 of that was trash like the final season of Justice League Unlimited: there was just so little reason for it to exist in the first place. That said, if you did a Top 20 TV characters of the last 20 years, Alison Bailey would deserve a spot. Whitney was probably my favorite, though, as she was such a perfect rattlesnake throughout the whole show, but she still Teddy Junior'd her way from Biggest Asshole to Functioning Adult by the end. Speaking of big assholes, I started watching Ray Donovan, but I don't know if I have the stomach for multiple seasons of Noted Stupid Asshole Jon Voight. Even if he weren't personally odious, he's sucked in everything for at least 20 years. Rest of the show is pretty good, though. Schreiber and Eddie Marsan will probably keep me watching until this free trial expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The season with the Brainiac/Luthor plot arc, which summed up things going back to at least Superman:TAS, was as good of an ending as that show could have hoped for. It was a better ending than most shows ever dream of having. And then they did another season. Aside from "The Great Brain Robbery", every episode of it was garbage. Maybe you're thinking it ended with the prior season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 BBC America is running a Doctor Who marathon this week. I'm never been much of a fan, but I have seen most eps of nu-Who. Kinda interesting to look back on the show and see what still works for me and what doesn't. I'm either softening my opinion of the show, or I find it a lot more tolerable in small doses. The good is David Tennant, Rory, Amy, and Clara, and Peter Capaldi. Tennant was probably the ideal casting choice for Doctor Who. Good actor, lot of charisma, good look for the character. His Doctor hit all the right notes and he made it seem natural. The bad for me is... the writing - especially after season 6, dull companions, and Matt Smith. Lol, I think i thought Matt Smith was ok at the time, but his portrayal isn't aging well for me. I feel like he's laboring hard to pull off the things that Tennant made look easy and, honestly, his Doctor comes off too much like Tennant cosplay for my liking. I like the first half of his run because of the companions and the Doctor-Amy relationship, but I would have preferred to see Gillan and Darvill playing off Capaldi or Tennant. Memorable companions make the show a lot more palatable to me. One of my issues with the current cast is that I don't care a whit about the companions. There are things I don't like about Clara's character (the Doctor/boyfriend thing), but Capaldi and Coleman worked well together and Coleman seems naturally likable. I found Catherine Tate's character sorta grating, but I was thrilled they didn't cast an attractive young woman and Tate and Tennant apparently knew each other prior to being cast and apparently had a blast working together, so that gets a pass. Mostly, watching a bit of the old series' makes me think I might have underrated the Moffat era. The show seems to have regressed under the new showrunner. Hate to say that. I really wanted to like Whittaker's run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Whittaker's run is suffering from Chibnal staying away from classic villains for an entire season, then trying to out-Moffat Moffat last season with Timeless Children.

John from Cincinnati Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Can't believe I've avoided this for 13 years because nobody I trust told me it was good. Mitch Yost should get back in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman got a spotlight episode. The amazing world of cardboard speech, after the amazing Darkseid return. They even did a Seven Soldiers of Victory episode. That last season is amazing.
