I am just gutted it is coming to an end this weekend. Can't wait to see what they have planned next in the LoL universe.



That was an incredible moment...and the other bit that broke me internally was

MSG SEED was so much better way back when it was just my 2nd MSG show. I’m on ep 35 now. This show is full flashbacks and review boards and it makes SG-1 seem tame in that department. Just ugh. Definitely at the bottom end of MSG imo.

I'm so excited to watch Arcane S2. Folks were visiting, and now my in-laws are visiting. When they all vacate the premises in a week or so, I will be diving in (possibly including a rewatch of S1).

Wow. For what is otherwise an exceptional tv show, S3 really fails to stick the landing.

Eps 7-8

Still a great show, i'll be there for S4, but this was a really weak end to a season that was shaping up to be so strong. It felt like the showrunners didn't know if they would get a S4, avoided committing, then rushed to cobble together the end of the season without any real plan beyond a vague sense of where they wanted to go next season.

Same. I'd re-watch Seasons 1,2 multiple times. Doubt I'll rewatch 3 anytime soon.

The producers:

"The show was artsy and dark and brooding, but in Season 3 what if we make it sooooooo artsy and dark and brooding!"
I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

ARCANE final three eps of the series.

Reduced me to a puddle of tears twice AND made me leap up and pump my fist in glory more than a few times.


Absolutely spectacular show top to bottom. The writing was incredible. The characters feel well lived in, and are all distinctive and cool in their own ways. The score was also top notch. Soundtrack in heavy rotation.

Spoilers for the finale:

And then I was sad and popped back to the main Netflix screen thinking "OH man, it's over that sucks"....only to see not one but TWO new animated shows just dropped!

One is a futuristic solarpunk post-scarcity Japanese show with kind off similar animation to ARCANE (though nowhere near that level mind you) and a really neat little story. Only one episode in so far, but very much enjoying. Solarpunk content doesn't trickle out fast into the ether, so I'm here for it.




And the other one I'd heard about a while ago but didn't realize was coming out so soon, and that season 1 of PANTHEON (which debuted on AMC+ I think?) is now on Netflix too, and that looks cool as hell too.

Oh, and on Dec 4th is that 4 episode Thai miniseries TOMORROW & I which is futuristic and looks crazy and cool as well.

And Christmas brings WHAT IF? final season.

Our cup, she runeth over...

Chunks of S3 were excellent, exceptional even, but oddly they were mostly the parts/eps that focused on the wider cast, not the two leads. Syd and Carmy had their moments but it seems like the near exact same moments were just being repeated and repeated. The Tina, Richie, and Marcus focused episodes were all kinds of great, story and performance-wise. Sug and Diane was Emmy territory all over again... weird choice to do an episode like that in a show like this but it was so well done i couldn't object.

I didn't want to quote you, QT, as I've not watched Arcane finale yet and wanted to avoid the spoiler but Pantheon is really good!


I didn't want to watch Arcane yet if it's going to be a sad ending, need the right frame of mind for that ha!

I devoured season one and two, heard poor things about season three so I've held off watching it yet, thinking I'll get caught up with it over the Christmas period.

Finished up MSG SEED. Yup I stopped right short of the finish line 15 or so years ago. I still maintain that had I seen more of the franchise 1st this would have been disappointing back then. As I said there is so many flashbacks and repeating launch/cockpit/bridge-ship shaking from rounds hitting and it just gets old and annoying. Gotta say though that the last arc once back in space was balls to the wall violence and death. Fuck yeah!

I’ve now watched ep 1 of SEED Destiny and I’m fucking terrified of the launch sequence I saw in it. Heaven help me if I have to watch this over and over. It’s long. Looking forward to the next entry after that epic finale of SEED though.

Tomorrow the dub of AoT final episode hits Hulu. I have been pissed off for damn near 2 weeks waiting for it…

It's been days since I finished S2 of ARCANE and I am still utterly hollowed out emotionally from it.

Like my gods...I want to re-watch it all, but I'm so afraid of what it will do to me to go through all that again from a fragility standpoint so soon.

And if I have to be cored out, you all have to be cored out, so here is Heimerdinger singing a folk song that cut me into little tiny fucking pieces.



Two spoiler things I noticed since watching:

Like I CANNOT say enough good things about Fortiche's work here with this show. It's done top to bottom with attention to every detail.

Struggling w THE DIPLOMAT. The cast is for the most part great (Keri Russel and Rufus Sewell both nail their own rolls but sometimes stare at each other like they're just waiting for the other person to finish reading their lines and for the relationship that's supposed to be at the core of the show that's a problem), the production solid, but it's trying to be The West Wing when it needs (arguably wants) to be Mr and Mrs Smith and/or The Night Manager. 3 eps in to S1, could go either way. Coming off THE BEAR that did conversations and interpersonal storylines brilliantly this is not holding our attention very well.
