Exclusive ITK shit
There is an S2 of Foundation coming

(Yeah whatever)

Shang-li and the 10 Rings, an enjoyable MCU film that doesn’t take itself seriously.

2 high points:- Trevor and Michelle Yeoh.

Tried it Tuesday.
My version was in Chinese.
Ffs.
Another visit another provider methinks.

But Finch. Wow simple great worthy of a review in normal film thread. As scifi, very different from current offerings

Agreed.
Very enjoyable once I worked out 1st 15 mins is all subtitles
:roll_eyes:
Loved the surprise return of…

You have to be really pissed if you’re an A-List actor who ISN’T in the MCU (or DC) these days

Not sure Leo and Tom are too fussed.

Hmm.
Singing Hotel California badly at Karaoke is now MCU Canon.
This means I’m in the MCU. I am Canon.

Sweet

Just finished S4
I have to say, IF I was a Show Runner or writer, I would have said WTF? When they renewed for S5.
They actually ā€œfinishedā€ the show really well with the last 3 S4 Episodes.

I wait to see how S5 entertains and moves the show forward

Anyone watching ā€œThe Wheel of Timeā€ on Netflix tomorrow?

It’s on the agenda, although YoungAdult#1 is arriving for his 21st B’day celebrations. He has got as far as me and was as exasperated with the books, so not holding out much hope for the series.

The trailers interpretation don’t seem to follow my understanding of the early books tbf

Open mind etc etc

I will give it a go. I read the first 10 books back in the 90s. Possibly the screenwriters may be able to streamline the story so that it flows better.

Given it’s on Amazon Prime I imagine there won’t be many… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Has to be said, what a marvellous actor Jared Harris is.
And despite some wobbles, what a great job of bringing Asimov’s story to TV Foundation is.
It isn’t perfect, but it is growing to something memorable.
Apple + or your Star Trek Discovery provider

Episode 1 of the Wheel of Time was …OK.
They’re not filming the book.

Thank fuck for that :+1:

A Brunette Rosamund Pike.
Oh my

It’s well worth noting that within the next couple of months, we’re going to see the end of the Expanse novels and the TV series (as it stands).

Now James S.A Corey is not a real person. It’s two people, and while I’ve never been too comfy with double-penned books, the eight that I’ve read so far of the Expanse series have been very good.

I will be sad if the last three books never make it to screen, but equally, I can’t imagine them not being made. The stories of books seven and eight eclipse anything we’ve seen so far in terms of scope and scale, making real use of the seeds planted along the way.

Now here’s why I think the last few seasons will get done, even if it ain’t by Amazon. There are bits in the last couple of seasons that just would never have gotten included if this wasn’t intended, and from the trailer, it appears that season 6 will add even more of Laconia, already seen on screen and very important in the last three books.

If it was truly done at season six, these bits have no business being there.

Early starts all week. Needed an early night.
Wheel of Time worked. Thanks.
15 mins & gone…
Maybe another day

Looking a bit po-faced mostly though.

Bollox, it is so far from Asimov’s books. Good story on its own but its should say ā€œvery loosely based on the books by Asimovā€ā€¦
