gbear Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I am reading the Expanse series, and then I saw the tv series. So I started watching it, and it is good. I like how they handle gravity and its lack in many of the scenes. The plot line is well done. Like most things though, I like the book better. Note, I will keep watching it and reading it. I am on book 4 of the books. It looks like the series may only go through book 1, at least for the first season. I have no idea if there are more seasons in the works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I loved it, it did have a couple of seasons towards the end that were strange, but overall a good watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not really a sci-fi fan… neither is my wife. But we loved The Expanse. One of those shows you’re sad to finish it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The Fall Guy. I'm a sucker for '80s TV shows and this is one of the best. Lee Majors is a stunt double who works as a bounty hunter on the side. By 2020s standards, it's terrible but it's still fun. Heather Thomas is still amazing. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I liked Rings of Power. It’s well acted and the story is exciting and engaging so far. and it has to be said, this is the best looking tv show I’ve ever seen by a mile. Every scene and shot is visually stunning. Wow Edited September 2, 2022 by Momma There Goes That Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I thought it was decent and episode 2 was better than 1. I will continue to watch. Main chick is a badass. I don't think I could tell you one person's name though after both episodes lol. I personally don't think it looks that great. I mean maybe it's the style they are going for, but it is almost a blended cgi/reality thing going on. It's so obvious that most scenes are filmed on a green screen, then a lot of the other scenes clearly look like sets to me. Like stuff doesn't look natural and looks "too clean" if that makes any sense. Even all of the hobbits and their little town looks "planted" and the hobbits look like they are "too" dirty/grimy to the point it just looks overdone. Like they are so grimy looking that it is obvious they were made up to be that way. Same with that bartender, just a bit too much IMO. It's almost like they are exaggerating all of this stuff. But I don't know if it was unintentional or it's just the style of the show. I prefer the more authentic/nitty gritty look and style of Game of Thrones in this type of world. This one is definitely more vibrant and colorful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The Patient, on FX/Hulu. Steve Carell is a therapist who gets assaulted and kidnapped by a serial killer (Domhnall Gleezy) and wakes up chained to a bed in a basement. Killer wants therapy with Carell to stop killing people. It's kind of a suspense thriller and I'm really liking it so far. Carell is a really funny guy but I love him in serious roles like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show is supposed to be thousands of years before the movies so other than Sauron, I'm not sure what other character is supposed to be the same lol.

Honestly don't even remember those names from the LOTR movies lol. Only remember Legalos. Being thousands of years before though, it doesn't even really matter if they are the same characters. All I know is she could beat the **** out of Michael Phelps in the olympics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s my top candidate for secret Sauron with his desire to build the forges and that he just looks really creepy and a weird vibe to him. Guess it must be someone else then Edited September 4, 2022 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 A few episodes into Cobra Kai 5. I don’t think it’s as good as it was with the adults acting more childish than the kids in some respects but it’s still good and I’m enjoying it.

NickyJ Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) For Rings of Power, I'm still in a holding pattern for deciding whether I "like" it or not. I don't hate it yet, but I was sort of expecting to after how far off the rails the Halo, Foundation, and Wheel of Time (going off of family member's review, haven't watched it personally) have been. I'm kind of sketchy on Galadriel being an action hero character, but it's been a few years since I read Silmarillion and the other pieced together stories that Tolkein made. Either way, the story is developing slowly but it also got a lot of ground to cover, so I can't blame it for taking its time. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic. I'm kind of hung up on Celebrimbor though. I don't know why, but every time I look at his face, I think of the Illusive Man from Mass Effect.

I'm late to this post, but season 1 is book 1. From then on, each season generally covers 2 books. The final season covered only 1 book though iirc.
