What does assimilation mean in “this facility has gone X time without an assimilation”?

expresso 1 points 4 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Assimilation by the Borg. The Borg assimilate everything they can get their hands on. Animal, vegetable, mineral.

For people who have a hard time understanding thick Brit and Scots accents I recommend getting English subs online and adding those until you get used to the way they talk.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023) S1 E4

I think we should call it “Fluffy”

There’s a bunch of these on my list and all of them currently have no links. I requested all the missing episodes on this one today

Catch and Release (2021)
expresso 1 points 6 months ago.

Now my top rated Nordic Noir: character-driven, moody, spiritual, self-reflective classic slow burner. If you’re a fan of the basics this is a great watch, if you are looking for a procedural that chugs along at a good pace American-style and happens to be set in Norway this will irritate you. 5/5

Ivalo (2018) S1 E10
expresso 1 points 8 months ago.

Great story, good plot twists, fast paced, maximum cliffhanger - must have season 2!

True Detective (2014) S4 E1

Oh oh oh that was fun :)

How the Universe Works (2010)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

Space, the final frontier!! How the Universe Works is my delicious nerdfest getaway from the slings and arrows of everyday terrestrial life. Soooooo. C’mon guys, did we really need an episode on - viruses??? Did y’all record these 18 months ago? Where have you been? Please, just give me dark matter, a black hole or two, planetary atmospheres, landing on asteroids, anything but microbes. Pfft. Skipping this one.

Rick Astley: Never Gonna Give You Up (1987)

totally expected this to link to star wars or something

“RRR”

Vikings: American Quest (2023)
expresso 1 points 7 months ago.

Did somebody say vikings?

Black Narcissus (2020)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

I really enjoyed this, nostalgic and reminiscent of several BW movies with the same atmosphere in the 50’s. I liked that it was slow. My choice would have been to apply the Technicolor palette and just run with it as an old time movie because everything about it feels like it was filmed in the 50’s.

Free Guy (2021)
expresso 1 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I like the CAM! =:) The late 80’s want their characters back. More early-era-game-real this way

1066: A Year to Conquer England (2017)
expresso 1 points 4 years ago*.

If you are a medieval history fan this is very enjoyable, a lot of cool new information for me, goes in depth on the battles leading up to the Norman Invasion of Anglo Saxon England and William the Conqueror. Very creative use of play-by-play to explain the sides and strategies of the battles and the weaponry. One star off due to the cheesiness of the reenactment scenes that are used to illustrate the stories.

Tooning Out the News (2020)
Alien 1 points 3 years ago.

Ok. Got it. That was very thoughtful, but it looks like there are plenty of links for the older ones. I was wondering why these episodes weren’t up to date.

expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

The last time I looked on here a few days ago, most of those epis up there were unlinked and now most of them have links. They were initially not posted on YT for free. It was a promotion for the premium channel. Then the back catalog was added on the Colbert channel a month or two ago. Someone has started uploading them of YT and is adding them in on PW. YAY

Himmelsdalen (2019)
Alien 1 points 8 months ago.
expresso 1 points 8 months ago.

Yes, loved it

Sword of Vengeance (2015)
asclepias 3 points 4 years ago.

This is destined to be a cult classic. Trippy stylized gory sword flick that steals from things like Valhalla Rising, Vikings, folk horror, Seventh Seal, Bastard Executioner, 300. Not much acting or plot going on here except for the unintentionally funny kind, and a cinematographer that films the shit out of all 87 minutes. Straight to favorites.

expresso 1 points 4 years ago.

Rashomon / martial arts

neXt (2020) S1 E9
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

I just added a couple of new links for 9. Look for filename NeXt.2020.S01E09.REPACK.WEB.h264-RBB.mp4.html. Any file with “cakes” is epi 10 and not epi 9.

Thanks for the uploads

expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

You’re welcome! Here’s hoping the source continues

Silo (2023) S1 E3
grasshopper rex 2 points 1 year ago.

Is kind of reminding me of Snowpiercer.

expresso 1 points 1 year ago.

In that it’s another highly inexplicable setting for a climate catastrophe refuge? Don’t get me wrong, I’m eating this up, I love the writing but lots and lots of eyerolling over here

True Detective (2014)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

I agree… After watching the first few eps of the second season, I realized the first season was a ‘one-off’. Season 1 stands alone as the only “True Detective” I needed to see…
(First season) The chemistry between McConaughey’s and Harrelson’s characters was a joy to watch!

expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

Go back for Season 3

Sugar (2024) S1 E2

Very very carefully made. I hope like hell they talk him into another season…

White Wall (2020)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

OK that’s a good SRT even though the filenames don’t match. Thanks YKJack

Det Tredje Øyet (2014)
expresso 1 points 8 months ago.

It’s Gregers from Beforeigners! Good IMDB score, this looks like a good nordic noir binge

Utopia (2020)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

This is definitely Americanized. Originals and remakes can both be good shows - Homeland .IL vs Homeland .US. I was engaged and entertained with the first two but it is really toned down. A lot. So I’ll pick this up at another time.

Intersect (2020)
AZR006 0 points 3 years ago*.

IMDB rating is 3.8 not 8.1.

3.8 and falling

Desus & Mero (2016)
The Circus (2016) S8 E12
Zenz-XIII 5 points 6 months ago.

dang I thought it was only the wrap of a season. One of my favorite shows on US politics!

expresso 1 points 6 months ago.

Heilman was on a podcast and hinted that they are shopping it to see if they can find another home for it.

Ófærð (2015) S1 E4
expresso 1 points 3 months ago.

Really well done, very similar to the current season of True Detective in atmosphere and setting. Can’t resist binging… 5/5

Forhøret (2019) S1 E1
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

Ulrich Thomsen was brilliant in Bashee - looks good

The Boys (2019)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

Kudos for the show runners moving this along in a way that pretty much compels a couch potato to lock in. I’m conflicted. I’m a fan of your basic antihero vehicle. I think I’m reacting to the fact that there are so many antiheroes at one time. I was very spoiled by Gotham. I think I hoped this would be less Cheese Whiz and more like that and now I’m a bit in hate watching mode.

3 Body Problem (2024) S1 E1
roystervi 2 points 2 months ago.

The show is great and I love it but its a huge let down because shows like this comes out strong end in a cliff hanger then don’t return.

expresso 1 points 1 month ago*.

I think it will come back. Apple tends to stick with their weird as heck stuff. Witness, “Invasion”

3 Body Problem (2024)
Mysteries of the Universe: Our Solar System (2020) S1 E3
expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

I like seeing all discoveries and missions as well as the science

Wisting (2019) S1 E3
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

It’s Loki from Ragnarok

Forhøret (2019)
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

I thought it was strange to have half hour episodes because crime dramas are almost always an hour, but it’s so tight and intense that I didn’t even notice

She Came to Me (2023)

Cannot wait!

Wisting (2019) S1 E3
Riot4Pluto 2 points 2 years ago.

This series gets better with each episode! I hope this mystery is resolved by the end of this Season, as it’s still listed as Running, but EU shows are often 2 yrs between Seasons and that was before Covid.

expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

Agreed, great episode

Wisting (2019) S1 E2
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

I just realized, it’s Trinity from the Matrix

TURN: Washington's Spies (2014) S4 E5
expresso 1 points 10 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

The twists in this season are so good!

Wisting (2019) S1 E2

That’s a twist…

The Dig (2021)
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

This is about so much more than archaeology, loved the unique characters and the story about mercenary rivalry in the early development of the antiquities field. 5/5

DAVE (2020) S3 E5
expresso 1 points 1 year ago.

I will never be able to unsee that.

Tigtone (2019)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

Ah, late 2020 hallucinogenics. It’s all here - the shouting, the the uncanny ability to survive one’s own stupidity over and over again, the toady willing to stand by and fall upon the sword. Pairs well with Tigtone!

Fortitude (2015) S2 E8
expresso 1 points 3 months ago.

I forgot how absolutely crazy this is!

The Resort (2022)
grasshopper rex 2 points 1 year ago.

Pretty good watch,so far. Well written and funny with good acting. Don’t expect to see much of Offerman though. 3 episodes in and he has seen very little screen time. According to IMDb there are 8 episodes in this season.

expresso 1 points 1 year ago.

Kind of a tease

Real Time with Bill Maher (2003) S18 E28
Eelectric 2 points 3 years ago.

True, Bill does need that audience, even if they’re fake, Ben Bailey (another stay-at-home comedian with a podcast) also uses canned laughter as white noise basically.
I understand that the few audience members do pitch in a little extra to compensate, but yeah.. it doesn’t always work out so well.
I mean, it wasn’t the worst, but i also don’t specifically need to see/hear audiences to begin with, but Bill insists on being Live, so yeah, it comes with the program.

But yeah, it does sound familiar haha.
Mr. Cough-a-thon never ceases to show his insecurities to the world.

I really like how Seth Meyers dealt with it, i’d almost say the show improved without the studio audience.
I loved how his monologues and Closer Looks became more and more absurd with the addition of all the characters.
Too bad it’s slowly turning back to the old format.
I kinda turned off from Colbert since covid, although he did improve, but i just haven’t been feeling it lately.
Trevor actually got off the best, his transition was pretty good, as Seth started off the worst, but i think Seth also grew the most.
Although, i haven’t checked on Fallon, Conan, Kimmel or what’s his name, Corden, since i never really watched them to begin with. I like Conan, but i just never really watch him.

I haven’t given Wilmore’s show a go yet, i used to like his old show, Grace Parra’s “Nightly” bit used to always crack me up.
I kinda miss The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, his show was similar to the Weekly with Charlie Pickering, but for USA, and i liked the “reporters” on it.
They also kinda started with pointing out the gaslighting that people are talking about a lot now.

But yeah, didn’t intend to write this whole story haha, thanks for reading

expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

Wilmore’s new gig is good. He’s just so wise. You should do that. I agree Seth Myers was better imprisoned in an attic. I hung in there with Colbert during home imprisonment but don’t like him broadcasting from his office. I don’t watch Corden either, but there was a bit when everyone was in a gap and he was still on. He set up his garage as his studio. He’s the most tech savvy and he was quite watchable. It’s ironic about Maher - I think Maher’s standup is always kind of shitty but his interviews and panels and closing are outstanding. He has to do what he has to do to connect with who he sees himself as, but the rest of us need him to be the other thing.

Wanted some espionage so I came back to binge this. Super classic no nonsense tight paced spy stuff.
