The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Looking forward to her in She-Hulk.

You hated the clone dance party?

Funniest thing about that show is they kept inventing terrible plot lines to keep characters around. You know you donā€™t need to pay Allison right? Do you really think we care about her drug queenpin storyline? Ugh.

Yeah youā€™re probably right about the latter. I was likely giving him too much credit for winning challenges. Though if he can make it to the final vote, hell have a compelling argument of playing an amazing game from the bottom.

Anyone watch the new wheel of time show on Amazon?

I first started reading the books when I was a teenager and Iā€™ve been loving it.

I need to read me some of these Wheel of Time books.

Enjoy! Gotta hear what your favorite number was live and if it differs from your regular favorote

Iā€™m in the Roman is the worst camp, but I think Shiv is a defensible position. The argument relies on the fact that unlike the other kids, Shiv has (barely) enough awareness to know better, the others donā€™t.

Shiv knows better, thinks sheā€™s better, and pretends to be better. Sheā€™s a craven, manipulative, hypocrite. Roman is who Roman is, much like Logan, but Shiv to at least some extent is making a choice to be unbelievably awful out of lust for power, status, and money.

Iā€™m prepared to consider that there is some latent misogyny in this position, but if thatā€™s the case the way the characters are written plays a huge role. Shiv is definitely presented as much smarter than Roman.

Iā€™m not sure itā€™s intelligence as much as awareness. Roman is plenty smart, heā€™s just completely amoral. Shiv does or should know better and just always takes the easy, selfish path because at the end of the day sheā€™s a delusional, narcissistic shitbag just like her father.

Oddly the thing that most irritates me about Shiv is her treatment of Tom, who is unquestionably also a truly horrible person!

My favorites didnā€™t really change, still basically everything with the Schuyler sisters. The actresses had nearly identical voices to the original cast. They were really good.

The song that really got the most mileage out of being live was the Reynoldā€™s Pamphlet song. Just hearing the audio itā€™s ok but visually itā€™s hilarious.

Obviously, the core of all the kidsā€™ horribleness is their desire to impress daddy. Roman has that in spades PLUS he has a massive inferiority complex when it comes to his siblings. Those two things dramatically magnify the amoral side of him, which is really coming out strongly now. He wants daddy to finally see him as smart, competent, and strong instead of the non-serious kid, and he wants to knock his siblings down, as theyā€™ve always been the celebrated ones. So now itā€™s scorched earth time.

Finished the newest season of narcos

I thought it was as good as previous seasons and went through it quick except for one thing

The whole serial killer/cop storyline was not good, like I get it and why itā€™s important, it just didnā€™t fit at all and took a ton of time to get there.

Agree with spoiler completely.

Creeping through the Beatles mini-series / documentary.
About 1:45:00 in and Paul is just noodling what will become ā€œLet it Beā€ in the background while on one is paying attention. At 2:00:00 heā€™s playing the opening and 1st verse for everyone and itā€™s so beautiful I canā€™t stop crying.

First episode of the new season of F Is For Family was very good.

Anyone watch the new Sunny episodes? I really liked the second one. First one was a bit more of a mixed bag but still had some good classic moments.
