You just wanna see Joel Kinnaman in the buff.Wichitabear said:
Sounds like a great explanation to me.
Unfortunately too many shows try to force PC views into the mix rather than make the show a hit through writing. Its like we've raised a whole generation of writers who are unable to tell a story without looking at a headline from Huffinington Post to create the storyTechDawgMc said:
Just finished watching S2 of Star Trek: Discovery. It's slow when you have to get the DVDs from Netflix.
Anyway, after two seasons my assessment is that it's not terrible SF, but it's not Star Trek. And I hate all the playing around with time travel. That stuff gives you too much of a magic reset button.
The other concern -- the 6-7 episode arc that was most of the season's story was basically just a larger scale version of Terminator.
It took Next Generation until season three to really hit their stride, but S2 showed more promise than S2 of Discovery did. I'll probably watch S3 when it finally becomes available through Netflix, but no way I'd pay for it.
Yep. Watched I'm Not OK With This last night, and in 3 or 4 episodes they turn the teen into a lesbian.Assassin said:

Hap & Leonard (one of my favorite shows), Leonard is gay.
Its weird to me that of all the people I know, around 1-2% are gay. But of the shows I watch, over 80% of them have a gay character.
took me a season to get used to the fact it wasnt Breaking Bad, but boy oh boy did I finally get hooked. Great to see some of the old 'dead' characters pop up.Aliceinbubbleland said:
Keep waiting for Better Call Saul to heat up although the courtroom scene that got a mistrial was hilarious.
Just re-watched 3-1 of Westworld. Its almost like they hired a complete new writing staff. Even the characters are more roboticWichitabear said:
Have started West World. Just watched The Blind Side. Cried and have seen it at least 10 times!
not sure about west world yet... the special effects where they build the people and horses with 3D printer things is amazing but not sold on it 100% yetWichitabear said:

Meh, 80% of the people I know I have a gay relative or friend.deemus said:Assassin said:
