Raithe Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 43 minutes ago, Sarex said: What's holding me back is that I have read them way too many times... But for some reason I'm not in a mood to start any new series, heck I haven't even read Rhythm of War and it's been ages since that came out. I used to re-read the series each time a new book was released. So I've read the individual books many times, but the entire series from beginning to end I've only done a couple of times since it was wrapped up. But it does hit a point where you've read a book so many times you start to skim through paragraphs and chapters and focus more on the parts of the story that fit whatever mood you're in rather than "properly" read the entire thing. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

BruceVC Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I just watched a really good horror series on Netflix, highly recommend...Midnight Mass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Mass_(miniseries) "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Amentep Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 TNG Suspicions Okay episode. Nice to see a focus on Dr. Crusher. Weird that it's a theoretical science episode though.

Felt like they tried to abuse nostalgia to the fullest for views. Now with s2 they seem to be cooling down a bit from that stuff, which makes it better in my eyes.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Midnight Mass. The first episode didn't really grab me and I held off for a while after but I'm glad I went back.

Sarex Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 For all mankind. Russia wins the space race, while the US trails behind. This causes a race to new and greater things. While the premise is interesting (although we all know the moon landing was faked), I haven't really been grabbed by the show. I've been told by multiple people that it's great so I'll give few more episodes a go.

Its not just good, its excellent and the story changes in a dark and completely unexcepted way .....so it goes from being a "preachy " religious theme to something different and horror based "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) On 10/6/2021 at 3:27 AM, Lexx said: Now I kinda want to watch more of this stuff. Maybe this will be my new anime, now that I have seen most of the interesting stuff in that area. Yeah, that was a cute k-drama, I mostly liked it as well. There are some very good K-dramas. A lot of them are somewhat fluffy/comedic or melodrama romances - which I definitely enjoy from time to time and K-dramas do it so much better than the US - but there are also the more drama or thriller/crime types that are very good. Misaeng (slice of life) would be one and last I looked it was still on Netflix. If you want to stay with lighter relationship or general fantasy fare: Because This Is My First Life is sweet (but not very slapsticky). Anyway, there's some good ones, from wacky to serious, from the past 8 years or so ... but most aren't on Netflix. =============== Speaking of k-drama's, I watched the first two episodes of Squid Game (Netflix) last night. About half-way through the first, I sat up and went "GONG YOO!" ... I had no idea he was in it. But then sadly he went away and from reading, sounds like his role is just a guest/brief. ::sad panda:: But the first two episodes of the series seem fairly interesting/good. I'll try a couple more episodes. Edited October 15, 2021 by LadyCrimson 1 “Things are as they are.
