Was so glad to see this refreshed, was thinking it’s time for a rewatch

Words cannot express how much I hated this. I’ll skip the musical too, thanks for the heads up.

This is not a 2022 film, it’s a re-release of a 1970 film

oh my god, it’s back, I gave that zero chance of happening

Earth (2023) S1 E3
expresso 2 points 9 months ago*.

Keeps getting better with every episode - this has the recent science about the geology of Earth being impacted by the development of plants. If you are a science nerd this is a must see show. +++++

A lot darker and grittier than the original, at least from the first two episodes. I likes Boyd way better than this new nemesis. Nice to see Willa as a teen but I think she needs to be a bit sassier like her momma. All in all it’s entertaining so far.

expresso 3 points 9 months ago.

Agreed, agreed, and agreed. Pretty hard to top Walton Goggins.

I’d love to know what EP cleared this production title. Such a weak name.

expresso 1 points 9 months ago.

It’s the name of the Elmore Leonard novel this is based on.

Earth (2023) S1 E1
expresso 3 points 9 months ago*.

Impressive! Lots of new material here about the mass extinction event in the Permian. This is a new narrator to me - I’m Team Brian Cox and David Attenborough but he is A team material. Even for typically excellent BBC nature series, the cinematography and locations are incredibly gorgeous and well shot. 5/5

Expedition Unknown (2015) S11 E7

Absolutely fascinating

Cast looks really good, here’s hoping this is awesome : )

I like my Vulcans a little more Vulcan-y. Those OS Vulcans knew how to cut with no snark, emotion, condescention whatsoever. Her father was…eyeroll… That being said, the premise of the episode is classic Star Trek, even the kitschy “interdimensional space” felt super-corny and right, and “Charades” is definitely the kind of thing that James T Kirk would pull out of his butt to stall in a situation like that. 5/5 phasers

No problem! I’m here all day!

(truly not sure if you are saying not to do this or, like, lol’ing with me or something) :-)

Absolutely not : ) So much on here.

Aaaaahhhhhh, illumination for those of us who have not memorized The Pact! Greatly appreciated.

FINALLY! In March, 2023, they said they were working on Season 2. It’s in the 60’s, not the 1800’s, though. Hope it’s not too different. I rather liked the 19th century version. Well, we’ll see, I guess. Didn’t say if any of the original cast was coming back.

expresso 2 points 9 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

“Taboo season 2 will likely follow Delaney and his allies to Portugal, on the trail of the mysterious American intelligence agent known as “Colonnade”. The first season concluded with Delaney and his crew on a boat setting sail under the American flag, with the character’s revenge against Strange (Jonathan Pryce) and the East India Company complete. They were heading for Portugal and a shadowy American spy network. Knight has seemed pretty set on the story direction, but Hardy seems willing to push this in bizarre directions including backwards or forwards in time. Particularly, he has talked about exploring the Delaney family during the Vietnam War.”

I see the Q’s have been busy at work on IMDB….

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) S2 E4
expresso 2 points 9 months ago*.

The first real episode of Star Trek since 1969. OUTSTANDING.

Dead Ringers (2023)
expresso 4 points 9 months ago.

Very highly rated on rogerebert dot com and rotten tomatoes, don’t let TV maze throw you off here.

Der Pass (2019) S1 E1
expresso 1 points 9 months ago.

The detectives make a very unlikely duo, love the character development just in the first episode, location is spooky and perfect.

This is amazing!

Star Trek Continues (2013)
random000 2 points 9 months ago.

Besides Chris Pine, our favorite non-Shatner interpretation of Kirk is Vic Mignogna. Our kids especially like him. Mostly an anime voice actor, this short-lived fan series is a genuine love letter to the original staff who put Trek together. They consulted them rigorously on everything from lightning to types of fabric that was used, and that rigor shows since it really does look as if it were filmed in 1966.

Has the late Grant Imahara from Mythbusters as Sulu, Jimmy Dohan’s son Chris as Scotty, and a whole lot of really great guests from Star Trek itself and other actors such as Lou Ferrigno. It’s a good series that attempts to finish the original 5 year mission. It was shut down due to legalities, so the mission went unfinished after a season. What’s done is top-notch all the way.

expresso 2 points 9 months ago.

What really stood out for me the couple times I’ve watched this is: their voices are so high. I know, stupid, right?

I’m looking for something historical to rewatch and was just thinking about this the other way - glad to see a couple of seasons are back up!

Does anyone know anything else great Hardy has played in? I’ve searched here by his name and only one thing came up which wasn’t a movie. He has to be in many others to be such a great actor. I’m only half way through and it’s amazing

Patriot (2015) S1 E2

This was extremely underrated

Hijack (2023)

Solid watch, I like it

FUBAR (2023)
expresso 1 points 10 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Watchable, humorous, but please for the love of god don’t ever show me Arnold the septuagenarian in another sex scene. He hasn’t had anywhere near enough work done, cannot unsee

The Vikings (2023)
expresso 4 points 10 months ago.

Channel 5 probably giving this an interesting angle, will ask for links

Silo (2023)
tamerat1 3 points 10 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

i get what u saying now. most shows with good premise like these get to a point and they get stuck so the go back to what they know murder mystery until they figure it out. the one thing im having issue is the show underestimate human resolve. it gives a lot of room for fear. since humanity have been able think. we have mange to walk beyond red line. our curiosity is part of our programming in our DNA. there no way you can keep 10000 people in dark for 144 years. i say you can’t keep 10 people. with out some one wanting to see. we went to the moon with a tin can. you can’t tell me u can keep us underground with out an answer. but good premise so i will keep watching.

expresso 2 points 10 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Have to agree, I want more to happen more quickly every episode. Third to last episode, finally getting to some good real fishy stuff. I would have liked to get more history from the beginning onward. They’ve hinted at several intriguing bits but they’re dropped with no followup. I like the cast a lot (glad to see Common again, he’s awesome) and I love the premise. The story arc is not tight. To me it’s the opposite of bingeable…so slow I can only take it an episode at a time.

Der Pass (2019)

Woohoo Season 3! So glad to see this came back, great binge

Extraction (2020) S2023 E1
expresso 1 points 10 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This was so much bleaker than the first installment and nowhere near as enjoyable, which was a tense ride but always stayed on the side of good action movie entertainment. Watching this one felt like I was just being pummeled over and over rather than entertained. I think the baddies and the political setup were a bit too realistic, I watch movies to escape the news, not the other way around

Secret Invasion (2023)

I tried…kept falling asleep. I haven’t seen the entire Fury canon, maybe that’s the problem. Top notch stars, Fury fans will love this

Cleverman (2016)

I knew nothing about Maori culture before I saw this - very good below-the-radar series that gave me a glimpse into an entirely different world.

Star Trek (1966)

thanks for refreshing the episodes!

Versailles (2015)

I forgot how good this is. The production is simply stunning. George Blagden is an underused actor.

Silo (2023) S1 E6
expresso 6 points 10 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I was just thinking early in this episode, why are there no cameras? Perfect timing. This show frustrates me with the slow pace but it allows them to make the smallest reveal full of impact.

I am gonna miss this show!

I will never be able to unsee that.

That was simply perfect.

DAVE (2020)
grasshopper rex 0 points 11 months ago.

I came to this party a bit late as I was never really a big fan of rap, but this has got to be one of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched and the number of cameos is insane. What’s up with the TVMaze rating? 8.2/10 IMDb, 89% Rotten Tomatoes, 4/5 Vulture and 89% on Google.

expresso 1 points 11 months ago.

TVMaze is a game preserve full of downvoters, you can just ignore it.

Silo (2023) S1 E3
grasshopper rex 2 points 11 months ago.

Is kind of reminding me of Snowpiercer.

expresso 1 points 11 months 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

Heavy duty cast

Haven (2010)

I forgot about Haven! It’s not fast paced, it’s not a thriller, but it’s definitely full of odd people and weird as hell and I loved it.

Real Time with Bill Maher (2003) S21 E13
grasshopper rex 3 points 11 months ago.

Why am I not surprised that Maher is an Elon fanboy? Other than the topics of religion and marijuana he sounds more and more like what a moderate conservative used to.

expresso 4 points 11 months ago*.

Didn’t watch it, don’t plan to watch it. The man already sucks enough oxygen out of the room and is the second richest person on the planet, he doesn’t need yet another free platform. 100% agree with you on Maher, except he’s gone farther right than moderate conservative straight into conspiracy theory. Maher snapped during covid. He started spouting fringe medical theories and anti-vaxxer tropes and now he has to touch base every week with every guest on how they feel about masking. It’s his safety blanket.
