Awesome. Now start filming season 7.

First episode of The Mandalorian was pretty good. I’m a very casual Star Wars fan, and even with me knowing next to nothing about anything going on, I enjoyed it.

Watchmen was great last night. This show is nothing like I expected it to be.
What a display of cinematography. That episode deserves an award.

It deserves all the awards.

The End of the F***ing World again has an outstanding soundtrack.

Do the celebrities and musicians ride the entire parade route or do they just hop on right before the stage area?

That is a great question. Guessing it's the latter

I'm 3 episodes into Watchmen, and I've got a similar complaint to a lot of shows these days - the scenes are too god damn dark.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Thu Nov 28, 2019 8:38 pm

Really? I’ve had no issues with darkness in this show. Certainly nothing like GOT.

I was watching in the middle of the day in a bright room, but it was definitely more noticeable than the other shows I watch. I’ve never seen a single GoT episode, so I can’t compare.

In other news, The Mandalorian alone would drive me to buy Disney+ if I couldn’t find torrents of the episodes.

@eddysnake @nocera: Circling back, I switched torrent clients to qBittorent 4.1.9.1 (freeware), and am seeing almost double throughput compared to uTorrent Pro 3.5.5. I tested the same magnet links, so I'm staying with qBittorent from here on out. The only reason I even gave the new client a try is because I've noticed some random freezing in uTorrent on Win10 1909. Haven't seen that issue in the new client.

The Crown Season 3 through 9 episodes

Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer is amazing.

It's unreal they still allow this on tv.

Every line is trigger time for outrage culture.

The outrage culture already addressed it last year

Postby **nocera** » Tue Dec 03, 2019 12:35 pm

What exactly is problematic about it? I don't know if I've even seen it all the way through.

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Dec 03, 2019 2:59 pm

It's just another story that I never would have read about had a tweet about it not been posted on 5AF.

Maddox already covered this in 2012.

Was the finale of Silicon Valley as bad as it seemed?

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Mon Dec 09, 2019 9:29 am

Incredible episode of Watchmen last night. Just a masterful display of non-linear storytelling.

Postby **iamjs** » Mon Dec 09, 2019 10:00 am

For it being one of the final three episodes, last night's Robot seemed to have a bunch of Dom/Darlene filler.

But it could also be that episode was leading up to

Also wondering if we get another Leon appearance, although it sounded like he was kinda disappearing after leaving the airport.

Man in the High Castle. Just watched Season 3 Episode 1 over the weekend so please no spoilers beyond that but I have questions

I thought some of these weird scenes were either flash forwards, or like the Trade Minister being able to meditate himself to his ideal world with his family, etc. But are they telling the stories of a multiverse? In S3:E1 Trudy tells her sister in her world the nazi's killed her dad so it's okay that Julianna killed him in her world. I'm not really sure I want a post World War II Stranger Things.

What was wrong with it?

I thought the twist was well done and it wrapped up concisely. Except I didn’t understand much of the network stuff they were taking about.

something happening to the flight. Irving - who happened to be at the airport in the same wing promoting his book, said that Dark Army didn't care about Dom or her family anymore - was there to make sure they were getting on the plane
