Sandman Ep1 jolly good. Charles Dance plays Charles Dance most excellently. Who knew 
Orville S3 now complete. They have a climax building to Ep 9 and they totally knock it out of the park. Ep 10 they donāt even try to compete with that, they do a low key ep which is fun and quite silly. Fucking Bortus. Brilliant.
Donāt know if weāre ever getting any more Seth Trek. All the actorsā contracts have ran out, I suspect due to a combo of pandemic and TV studio fuckery/delays. If its over, Iāve got a lot of happy chuckles and sci-fi goodness out of it even if Iām greedy for more.

Aww, that would be really sad, I hope they it keep going somehowā¦ my fav TV show for the last few yearsā¦ So much better than all the other Star Trek even though they brought Picard back hehe (Iām not hating on the Picard show btw, I donāt agree with most of the critique about it, itās probably my second fav show)ā¦

Iām not a trekkie, but I am a fellow fan of Chuck. I would like to see another show hang on by a thread for as long as that one did.

Halo S1: Great
This is awesome low brow dumb-as-fuck sci-fi with heaps of skullduggery and people screwing each other over. You can predict a lot of it but not all.
Its a great ride with an epic backdrop.
I believe a lot of the game fans complain about Masterchiefās helmet coming on and off when they think it should be stuck on all the time. Nope. This is not Judge Dredd. James Bond was never described in the books so you could imagine yourself as him and when it came to cinema people just went hey, Sean Conneryā¦ great. Here many have complained. Cheer up, if youāre paying attention, in the last 5 or 10 secs of the last ep of S1 youāll figure out why the helmet comes off and on.
Loved this series when I totally expected to dis all over it. An unexpected joy. Lots of flaws if you want to pick holes of course. I just chortled and sucked down imaginary popcorn.

Yea. Agreed. Itās a cool show. It only vaguely draws from the original but in a way that I think anyone can appreciate no matter how much one watched the OG version.

Rings of Powerā¦ My 2 cents:
I watched those two episodes and I couldnāt entirely pinpoint what was missing. Some will say āgood acting?ā and they wonāt be wrong - IMO only the (human) woman was actually believable and maybe the dwarf as well.
Then I realized that whatās missing is warmth. This thing is joyless. Hopefully it gets better because as it is, thereās not really any character I care about. Even Galadriel is rather bland. Eh.
Since there will be comparisons, at lest the GoT prequel has good actors who actually seem to believe in what theyāre doing.

Rings of Power is lacking something. Iām really easy to please as far as TV about fandoms I like. It is just plain not good. Iāll try a bit more.
Paradise PD is totally just fucked up lol.
I like Rings of Power. The nomadic hobbits are a bit guff. Iām waiting for them to find a patch of land they can call the Shire so we can all move on with our lives.
Iāve cut the show some slack because theyāre cramming in a lot of people in the first few eps when they might have been better to slowly introduce and expand. I described the first ep to She Who Must Be Adored as feeling like a very long trailer for a TV series rather than a strong opener and she pretty much agreed.
Numenor looks great. Apparently some fans are upset because the books do not say that Galadriel ever went to Numenor. For stuff like that I donāt really care. Oftentimes in film and TV they amalgamate characters into one so they can keep the scope down a bit. By doing it they get to show the Numenorian backstory without having to create another main character.
Lastly, unless the show deviates I already know who Sauron is. Its in the MERP RPG, which I used to play It will be in the source material ofc but its even longer since I read that.

Yea I was telling someone else that while Iām not currently a super fan I do understand they are doing a ton of character development and set up at this point.
They are turning what is essentially a history book into a narrative. So there is that too.

Aye, the Silmarillion doesnāt read like a novel but a collection of background stuff loosely put together into stories. Cos that is what it was - background for the story Tolkien wanted to tell after making up pretend languages and cultures as thats what tickled him.
