Kaina of the Great Snow Sea and Buddy Daddies were getting less interesting with each episode, but the ending in the last episode of each looked promising. Buddy Daddies may even have a main plot now. Let's see.
Been watching Kaina of the Great Snow Sea and I'm finding it has a Miyazaki feel to it. Enjoying it and looking forward to see where it's going.

Finished watching Night Sky. And they cancelled it after 1 season. Low audience numbers. I can understand why though, it's only 8 episodes and quite slow in the first couple. A lot of focus on relationships which I thought was well done. Apparently, not enough pew pew sci-fi to keep audiences watching it. It doesn't get good until about episode 5 and then from there it takes off. So much happened in the last half of the season finale. Quite original and season 2 would have answered a lot of questions.

Rings of Power. Been putting it off and finally sat down and binged it all. Thought it was great. Looked up to see when Season 2 comes out and oh dear, 2024.

Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 finished. Can't wait for Season 3.

"No, if the season has a good ending, I don't care. But most of those Netflix shows have cliff-hanger endings which make you want (or need) another season, which then never comes. It just sucks. "
I'm the opposite at times. I often seek out and watch shows that have been cancelled knowing I don't have to commit year after year. Sometimes there's an interview online with what the creator of the show had in mind for season 2 or 3 but unfortunately was cancelled. And it's like, oh I see where they were going with it, that's kind of cool. At least I know how the story ended.

I've seen Dark and 1899 and liked both. Don't see the similarity in stories.

Primal. Season 2 felt like it had three stories that could have been drawn out over multiple seasons. Understand they probably wanted to wrap everything up in case they didn't get renewed.

Prey (2022). Watched both English and Comanche versions. Preferred the Comanche version with subtitles.

The Book of Boba Fett. Struggled to get through this and the only good thing about this series was near the end with the Mandalorian and Luke.

Jurassic World Dominion. The dinosaurs showed up, but it was just the old cast. Pretty low bar poop. Watch once. Forget it and move on with your life.

Obi-Wan Kenobi. I found the series a waste of time. The whole Reva going after Luke could be edited out and if it was, the episode would have flowed better. It made no sense.
Disney lightsabers are so weak. Reva should have had a hole in her chest like Qui-Gon did to the door in Ep I.
The only good thing was the last episode with Obi-Wan visiting Leia and Luke at the end for me. That was it.
A lot of people rave about Vader vs Obi-Wan fight but we already had that with Ep III. It was just a remake. No story or character progression. They need to fix the issue of constantly putting the main character as a side character who tags along in their own adventure.

Though watching it made me curious, when and how does Vader know Luke is his son? I'm pretty sure it wasn't shown in the OT. I'm guessing I either just missed it in the OT or it's in some random side product somewhere.
E: looked it up and it was explained in a comic book just a few years ago.
Empire Strikes back. It's mentioned twice. The first was when the probe droid was destroyed and he mentions to an Admiral (regards to the Hoth System) that Skywalker is there (he felt a disturbance in the force and he knows it's his son - confirmed later in the movie). The second time is when he is talking to the Emperor and he admits that he has felt a disturbance in the force and knows who it is. The Emperor mentions Luke's name and the Son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi and Vader wants to turn him (instead of killing his son).

Someone needs to do a fan edit of Obi-Wan Kenobi and cut out all the superfluous material and make it coherent. Make it in a 2hr movie instead. There's probably enough material to do it imo.
Thought this was funny.

For a little call back, but it kind of amused and interested me for the breakdown:
I didn't watch the video but I much preferred the Chinese 2009 version of Mulan then Disney's version.
I can see why the Disney version is so terrible, now that I had something to compare it to. I also didn't realise they teach chinese kids at school (in China) the Ballad of Mulan and she's a role model to many chinese kids. My partner was pointing out all this to me since she grew up in China. Although , I do recall she did have an issue with one scene in the 2009 version, but everything else was ok for her.
The Disney version destroys that by giving her super powers (even when she's a kid) and making her physically stronger than men. She's basically a super hero with super powers. When we both watched it a couple of years ago, she was like wtf a couple of times and mumbling, that's wrong. About halfway through, she bailed and left me to watch it and she'd rather go upstairs and do stuff on the computer than keep watching it.

The first movie is not available in my country (Australia), so no idea what it was, but the Resident Evil movie has too little Milla Jovovich in it
Had to VPN into the US to see it's a TV series called Dark Winds. IMDB trailer should work for you.

Then there's also the little detail that the series tried hard not to be all about fanservice, but what fanservice does happen is even more ridiculous than the one in Rogue One.
I'm not sure what you mean by tried hard not to be all about fanservice. I found it had tonnes of fan service in it as I read all the 80s stuff and a lot of the 90s books. I found it was too much fan service with tonnes of easter eggs from the original / expanded universe. It felt like they were trying to please the old fans from the backlash they had over the sequel trilogy, imo.

You haven't seen bad sci-fi until you watch The Ark. It's bad, really bad. It's like they hired the first lot of actors that came in for a screen test that were willing to travel to Serbia to film this. Yes, it's filmed in Serbia and it shows. They really cheaped out on everything. The acting is woeful, characters are unlikeable, the story is ridiculous and the sets look like they're out of a high school production. The CGI is diabolical especially when the space ship can do manoeuvres that defy physics - obviously due to budget constraints for the vfx artists. This needs to get cancelled to get the network air time back.
