Sarex Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Finished Primal s2. This season really felt like a mix of the original and new Samurai Jack with a seasoning of Conan the Barbarian. Overall I would say it's good, but it felt like they were in a hurry to tell the story they had. Which leaves me wondering if there will be a season 3 or if they will leave it at that. 13 hours ago, KP From Another World said: What I have seen is the newest season of What We Do In The Shadows and it is ****ing good.

Lexx Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Tried to continue watching s3 of Cobra Kai. Suffered through 2 more episodes, cringed hard when they were showing those flashbacks of good-guy with this asian girl. Really don't think I will keep watching this show. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I think Cobra Kai had potential as something about needing to leave your cringe past behind, but it dumped that in favor of 30 year old high school students forming karate gangs and geriatric villains bullying children for dumb reasons. 1 hour ago, Sarex said: I was not feeling season 1.

Chilloutman Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 season 1 was fun, because it focused more on original characters, once that weird high school drama became main point of the series I just could not watch it anymore I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Sarex Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Cobra Kai was such wasted potential.

Keyrock Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I don't think Cobra Kai ever had the legs to go past 2 seasons. What made season 1 work so well, and to a much lesser extent season 2, was the Johnny Lawrence redemption story, but 2 seasons was about as far as you could stretch that out without the dough ripping apart. Once that was exhausted the story had reached its natural conclusion. In an effort to squeeze as much milk from the proverbial cow as possible they went to the same well that every reboot these days seems to resort to, digging up every character they can from the original, desperately banking on nostalgia. Also, the whole thing devolved into a West Side Story gang warfare plot.

Lexx Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It should have stayed a 1 season special thing. For me it became bad the moment that good-guy what's-his-name (Daniel?) became the main focus again. It's like... in s1 he didn't really cared, but because it was a bit of a hit and got so popular, they made him big again in s2. I never cared about him, I wanted to see the story around Johnny. He's the interesting bit in the story, not all the other stuff. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

They either changed creative lead or they simply never knew what they had. I think they maybe had a plan for two seasons but kept going until they ran off the rails (and not in a good way) when the series turned out to be popular. Johnny and Danny learning to leave behind their teenage feud and grow in a way to help kids is interesting, some men in their 60s and 70s being pg-13 villains to high school kids isn't. But to be fair, shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are rare in being able to deliver consistently and knowing when it's time to end. Cobra Kai had this potential, sad that it didn't pan out.

I think Miami Vice is one of those shows that for me at least, had a lot of ppl that later became a lot more famous or were at least early-about-to-be-famous. Other shows like that that come to mind might be Friends. I'm sure there are some others. Saw a video on that a while back but can't remember. It's always weird to go back and see such people in such early roles. “Things are as they are.

Lexx Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Reminds me of George Clooney in Emergency Room. Shame he left the show later. It kinda dropped the ball then as well.

LadyCrimson Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Finally got around to watching the Val Kilmer bio movie. Or rather, skimming through it. I love Val the actor and there are some interesting moments, but overall it's sorta like when your parents/friends make you watch too many home movies for too long. Too self-indulgent for me. Lots of people when they get older make a "my life" thing for themselves or their grandkids, which is great, but when you're famous, you can make a film and try to make the whole world watch it. That said, I liked his son doing the narration, and whenever they showed their relationship, and those other moments I liked made me wish I could give Val a comforting hug now and then. At least he seems to be in a decent place now (after his cancer etc). Oh and it kinda made we want to see him in that Doors movie again. I didn't love that movie but Val was great in it.

InsaneCommander Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) House of the Dragon 5: Westeros being Westeros. Spoiler Apparently nothing happened to Ser Cole after he: - ruined the wedding - ruined the tournament - dishonored his position as Kingsguard - punched Leanor - killed a man who had some importance (Joffrey entered with house Velaryon and walked all the way to greet the king) I'm wondering who will support Rhaenyra when the war breaks out. Her side already disrespected the Lannisters, Royces (will the Arryns support them?), all the families of the men she rejected as Kingsguards, all the families whose men didn't get a chance to propose to her when she stopped her travels... And based on the preview for the next episode, her reputation will only get worse. On the other hand, house Velaryon could get some $upport easily. Edit: I forgot one item on the list.

Hiro Protagonist Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Primal. Season 2 felt like it had three stories that could have been drawn out over multiple seasons.

LadyCrimson Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Watched "Samaritan" since it was 'free' via Prime. Sylvester Stallone. Plot features a youthful male kid as a co-star, so even with some biggish action at the end, it's got that kid's-life/perspective type of focus. I suppose when I was 10 I might've moderately enjoyed it for what it is. Very formulaic, although with my brain rather sleepy when I saw it, there's a slight twist at the end that I didn't predict. Which isn't to say it might not be obvious, maybe I was just brain dead today. Anyhoo...not the worst for what it is, but most probably wouldn't care to bother. “Things are as they are.
