... and Ahsoka's deadpan, emotionless, slow-walking, meditation acting has quickly gotten extremely boring.

[Cyberbob]

She’s playing too much into the wise old monk tropes imo. I know the character's older, but the way it's being portrayed is just so different from Clone Wars and Rebels.

Let the Ashley Eckstein inside of this Ahsoka out for a bit.

Russian version of Married With Children (Happy Together)

It's funny how the house is pretty much the Bundy house, even if it doesn't make sense because they're in an apartment block.

First 3eps of Season 2 of Wheel of Time out, enjoying this so far.

Really enjoying the small screen adaptation, sans the endless clothing observations in the books.

Life/health is pretty bad for me right now, so laughing is not something that really happens; however I just watched the musical episode of StarTrek Strange New Worlds Season 2 - and honestly I think I woke someone up with an actual LOL.

Watching Klingons try to resist and then be forced into singing like a boyband was just too fucking good. 25s saved that entire episode. LOL still laughing.
No wonder they were so wound up to destroy the anomaly.

[Lightspeed]

It was a great season overall. I replayed that scene way too many times, it was just hilarious.

Did the Klingons suggest that their grievance with Starfleet is that they only call "when you got your dramas"? La'an said that the phenomena was an intel leak risk. Perhaps we'll see more Klingon-Starfleet piss-ups paving the way for galactic harmony.

I hope you find some more laughter.

[_indigo1]

I'm still pissing myself about it this morning.


You find out earlier on that the Klingon's are ready to go on a suicide run to take out the anomaly - and then when that scene drops you realise why, LOL!

The way he tries to fight breaking into song is gold as well - and yeah I've been replaying it too.


Why you always callin us, when you got yo dramas?

One of these days we'll repay you, we'll slay you.

Gonna draw your last breath

At the end of our Mk'Leths

Your eternal torture is every Kingon's dream

You know what I mean

Make your blood SCREEEEEEAM!!!

Hmm - saw the first 10 minutes of that last month - he washed up on a beach that turned out to be the south of France??? Not a spoiler according to that poster...

One Piece Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix

Keen to see Usopp and Chopper in live action together. They've done a good job of capturing the absurd humour of the anime.

Really enjoyed this, glad it hasn't gone the way of Cowboy Bebop.

Foundation Season 2 was excellent. So many great performances and scenes.

I particularly liked Ben Daniels as Bel Riose. And Laura Birn as Demerzel, wow. For most of the series she felt so cold and unassailable, but when being vulnerable her energy is so completely different.

And Rachel House FTW!

Haven't seen any of it yet. Loved S1, even though my inner Asimov fanchild was triggered by the differences from the books.

[ePi]

S2 was great! Much better than S1 I thought. Very enjoyable.

[wazza]

i came here to post a couple of times but i'm useless at expressing myself meaningfully so gaps'd that

I get that, I keep the series on my bookshelf as a kind of transitional object. I was leafing through it after watching season 2 and I get why they've gone the way they have.

I mean, it's old. All the sci-fi ideas that were cool then are well established now. Anyone making something new out of this is inevitably going to weave something more contemporary into it.

One thing that's I've realised is missing from depictions of galactic empires is time dilation is never a factor. The entire empire tends to enjoy a single clock.

Yeah that's always going to bug me too.
