Again.
The Orville goes head on into tough territory
Yes Dolly is wonderful but then it deals with Child abduction & torture.
It really is clever & thought provoking TV
Not a must watch show, but certainly running The Expanse close for most innovative & engaging show, For All Mankind continues to deliver.
While we are kept on the edge of our seats by the āSciFiā in S3 Ep8 we also get to deal with the superb development of the characters
From the doubts and lost love of the 1st Female (& Closet Lesbian POTUS in 1994) to a Foster Father /broken Sons relationship
Itās on Apple or use my dodgy link or DM for it.
Again. Superb Television
Fvck it.
Must watch Television
I remember a bunch of you slagging off wheel of time. Iāve been putting it off because of the reaction it got. Never read the books, and decided to take a look at the reviews before diving in. Itās got a huge proportion of 1star reviews. On further digging nearly every one star review is from people whoāve read the books and are pissed off that itās nothing like the books. Despite all the one star reviews itās got an overall score of 7.1. Decided to give it a go, and I think Iām right. Itās actually a good series. When considered in isolation from the books I think it stands toe to toe with Witcher and GOT. Sure thereās some annoying things about it (forced multiculturalism, strong woman feminism and some dodgy acting), but it didnāt get too cringey until episode 7 where there was a lull before the big season finale. Havenāt seen the finale yet, but I liked most of what Iāve seen. Hope it keeps going.
I read the first 10 books a long time ago but I am not deeply attached to the story. They did not film the books, thatās OK by me. They did a decent job, I enjoyed watching it and will watch the next season.
I watched the season finale in the early hours of this morning. Was very disappointing. They tried to cram too much in to a single episode and all the key moments were diminished as a result. The younger actors struggle to carry the story when the focus is directly on them. Still, overall Iād say it was decent and will hopefully get better as the younger actors mature.
While I found some of the choices a bit questionable (the Comanche having American-English accents was a bit disrespectful, I felt) it really works as a Predator film.
Set in the early 18th century, itās about what happens when a Predator comes down for a hunting expedition. And oddly enough, doesnāt seem to matter what time period the Predators are in.
Theyāve done this sort of thing before in the comics and it makes a lot of sense. Predator 2 establishes that the Predators have been coming to Earth for centuries.
It has the least issues of any Predator sequel. It doesnāt feel like a giant action movie remix like Predator 2 sometimes does, doesnāt flag with a Lawerence Fishburne moment like Predators and doesnāt insult your fucking intellgence from first minute to last like The Predator.
Itās a nice simple Predator story and because our protagonists have their own culture of hunting, they donāt even have to figure it out. Thereās another hunter out there. It needs killing. Thatās all there is to it, and Iām pretty sure they didnāt even know it was of alien origin.

You simply have no idea what lies in wait for you in Ep 10 of S3 of The Orville.
Unbelievable Jeff.
Vodka has been sprayed yet what a deep subject
A serious no spoiler review.
S3 of The Orville opened with a very clever mind bending take on Philip K Dick. It continued throughout to throw up thoughtful takes on many diverse subjects, Roe v Wade, Gay Sex as a norm, Gender Mutilation and and and. Yet all in a non Woke clever and often humourous way.
It built up to a Cliffhanging Season Finaleā¦
Actuallyā¦
No.
Unlike so many shows it just went all in to yet another conceptual brain teaser. And boy did it deliver. In simple view mode it was Tat. In Orville view mode there were absolutely priceless one liners, while dealing with two incredibly complex story lines. The Prime Directive andā¦
Both handled superbly.
But tbh if Pap had a mind explosion with the visit to the Kaylon Homeworld episodeā¦
Dude,
Brilliant. Completely wrong as a Season Finale and maybe the last ever episode but brilliant
