I’m really looking forward to seeing what comes of the octopus eyeball creature attaching itself to the xenomorph in the last episode of Alien Earth.

Yeah
the thing tried warning her about the bugs - so that's possibly setting something
 
About to roll over the free trial paramount account I started into the hose tier or whatever tk access the new Dexter shows lol


Watched the latest episode of Alien Earth and loved it. I’ve been guessing since episode 1 that we’d at least get this ship episode

With three episodes left I’m curious if we’ll get one more flash back to collection or specimens, another Wendy episode l, and an epic shootout finale

Or maybe it will go back to primary timeline for remainder of episodes and we get a whole prequel season for the collection mission

Seen the series multiple times, since watching TV when it was on the air in the 1970s, and every 10 years or so since then, either in syndication or via the analog or digital media of one sort or another. The Mrs, had never seen it on TV in her home country, but got into MASH from watching it with me. We enjoy the series and characters and how many of the stories move between comedy and drama.

Recently, I was thinking of doing away with all physical media, for two reasons. Some of the stuff we're no longer interested in watching, and in fact I was just talking to my nephew about leaving a stack of action movie DVDs in his dorm common room. But the main reason we thought of dumping the physical media was because we mostly watch Netflix or random things on YouTube, which is far more convenient. So in going through our large DVD collection before tossing, or giving them away (selling DVDs turned out to not be worth the effort), I popped in a few to view for old times sake.

At first, having to load the disk, wait for warnings, push buttons to navigate, all at a snails pace, I was getting antsy to watch something, anything, and fast. But once we watched a few episodes the old fashioned way, it actually grew on us. I paused to have a look at the liner notes, which had a fun story about the series. The DVD is arranged in original broadcast order, which was interesting to watch one episode followed by another, as originally intended. The language menu provides audio in French and English, while the subtitles were in Spanish and English. But the best part was being able to select the audio track without a laugh track. Sure, it took time to navigate, but was worth it.

We also noticed something else about streaming media. YouTube has become nearly intolerable, constantly cutting in with ads or immediately jumping to what the algorithm dictates. It's not the commercials we mind as much. Watching MASH on TV, there were commercials, but they eased into the commercials, sometimes even with a network title card before the commercial. But now the streaming media with commercials just jumps into one at random times in the middle of watching. I suppose it's a strategy to get viewers to pay for the service, but we don't really watch it enough to warrant that. Overall, it seems the goal of YouTube is keep viewers glued, regardless of what they are watching. Netflix is a little better, at least in terms of the viewing experience, but the selection is heavily skewed toward newer stuff. and they started pestering us to accept commercials at a lower monthly fee. And like YouTube, it seems to hunger for eyes to watch, anything, just keep watching.

We actually got used to that contemporary, jumpy, viewing experience, but having taken some time to go back to the more cumbersome DVD experience, we found that we actually, and unexpectedly, prefer the less frantic, less demanding viewing experience. So we're having some second thoughts on dumping physical media and spending more time, relaxed, to go through what we already have.

I've literally watched this show my entire life since I was a little kid.. I watched the episodes when they were new and I still watch them to this day. There's MeTV that runs 4 episodes every night and TV Land that shows them in the morning.
For whatever reason, i don't stream them, Just not the same. :rofl
 
Been watching What About Bob the past few mornings while getting ready. What a masterpiece of a comedy. Bill Murray is PEAK annoying and Dreyfus's aggravation and seething anger is soooooo palpable :rofl
 
I've just fished Murder Bot. I've watched all ten episodes in two rows of five. Intense performance. Good sense of humor.

Despite the title, it is not a Terminator movie. It is a comedy about robot psychology.

Dexter season finale was absolute :chef
Click to expand...
Me and son just started Dexter, haha, were late with everything but its fun that he suggests the older stuff, breaking bad, saul, prison break, now we started Dexter. First three episodes was great, i like it. Fun and exciting. However, it felt like all the cards were put up immediately, not a slow growing start. Its like the plot for the whole series just opens up straight from the start. That makes me wonder about what could possibly be added as the whole synopsis/plot and content is there from episode one.

Each episode is:
Dexter needs to kill one person.
Main villain kills people and taunts dexter (probably the season theme, that will solve in the end)
Random homicide investigation (because theres more characters that need room)
Dexters sex life (or the lack of).
Dexters sister. (i feel like she needs to die and the next season will replace her with something else)

Dont spoil me
