Damn imdb is very right. clear that anything over an 8 that seems at all appealing to your taste is a slam dunk. I noticed this years ago but just confirming again. Those aren't my exact rankings at all either

[NTP66]

Yeah, the visual effects, production, etc is all so high for SyFy... and they cancelled the show. You can see why Amazon swooped in so quickly to pick it up.

They didn’t “cancel it” per se. The show is self-financed and produced by Alcon Entertainment, which sold the US television rights to SyFy on a three year deal. International and streaming rights were all sold to different outlets. SyFy was fine with the shows ratings but the lack of streaming rights cuts out a ton of viewers so SyFy did not renew the distribution contract after the three years was up.

[NTP66]

Potato, tomato. They didn’t renew it because they’re dumb.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Really enjoying the books (at least the first one so far).

The Expanse season 4

When the hell did Avasarala have time to find a new husband? I thought the first husband was waiting for her to finish saving the galaxy back on Luna?

Same husband, just played by a new actor. I assume the other guy bounced after the few weeks of uncertainty when SyFy didn’t renew.

[Dickie Dunn]

That sucks. It’s always nice to see Babu Bhatt randomly pop up.

The Expanse S04 finale:

Gonna miss Miller, but at least we got doses of him since his “death”.

Quintessential Amos:



Wished for a better fate for Ashford. Kinda figured Naomi’s kid was on board just because he was mentioned one scene earlier, and actually thought Ashford sent some sort of message in time to be saved. Now I really want to know what was sent, so I guess we wait until season 5.

By the end of season 1, the Expanse was good if you couldn't fall asleep and needed something to bore you to snooze time.

Hunters, anyone?

[DigitalGypsy66]

Hunters, anyone?

It's good through the first couple of episodes.

One of the most shocking nude scenes in the history of film in the first episode btw.

[Gaucho]

Good shocking or bad shocking?

[willeyeam]

Uhh, just shocking

I'm on episode 3 right now. Pretty good thus far

[Freddy Rumsen]

It's just an old lady taking a shower.

[Gaucho]

meh, seen that in GoT

[DigitalGypsy66]

And some ****** on Twitter - a political activist - just spoiled the show for me. I've never seen this guy talk about pop culture, and boom he ruins it. Ugh.

[dodint]

That blows.

The very last time I listened to Madden was because he started a segment with a TV show spoiler in the first sentence. Decided F that guy right then and there and haven't listened since (Oct 2018). It's been nice.

another great curb episode this week. This season is top notch

[DigitalGypsy66]

Better Call Saul started back with a two night premiere. Guess I'll watch that instead of finishing Hunters. Dammit.

Pete Davidson Might Not Stay on SNL: 'They Think I'm F--king Dumb'

The headline says enough. He sure can dish it out, but can’t take it. I haven’t been an SNL fan for a long time now, and people like him are a big reason why. Hopefully they replace him with somebody who is actually funny.

I just got back into Curb. Started season 7 last night. It's as good as I remember.
