  • I haven't read all this thread yet, but I just finished the season and I have to say...that Alex death was such a wet fart for me.  I get it, Cas Anvar and his bullshit put them in a terrible situation, but his death came almost out of nowhere, the …
  • This sucks, BUT at the very least they seem like they will be able to give us an ending to the The Expanse as a tv show.  The absolute worst thing would have been they just cancel it right here and now, and most executives do, so that's something at…
  • I wrote the boys an email about this very thing, but I wanted to share my thoughts here as well.  Did anyone else feel like Mastermind was very much like Joy of "Inside Out"?  Not quite the same in that Joy wasn't an outright personality, but in tha…
  • I gotta say, as much as I loved this season, not having full coverage has been a damned mega bummer.  Some of the stuff that happens this season would have been amazing to hear A.Ron break down and theorize episode by episode. Amazon, thanks for br…
  • I don't know if Miller really is gone or not, as I'm not doing book spoilers, but if so, I will miss the investigator angle and what it brought to the show.  And well, I assume there is still a lot to investigate?  I wish there was just a bit more t…
  • I also want to mention that I really like Darlene and Dom as characters.  And I even like the idea of them together.  But in every way this felt like the sitcom-shadow of something more real.  I felt like I was watching, ahem, robots, on screen tryi…
  • This is the first time in a very long time that I have absolutely no idea how I feel about an episode of television and don't know if I really care or not.  I don't know if there is such a thing as anti-art, but at times it felt that way to me in th…
  • Well, that's a bummer.  The selfish part of me wishes the boys could just watch the episodes like any other television show and do it like they used to, but that is, indeed, selfish of me.  This podcast has been my favorite since Leftovers ended, so…
  • This weirdly felt like a filler episode to me.  Maybe I'm missing some of the deeper elements and sybolism, but it just didn't do anything for me.  I also haven't been this annoyed with Tyrell since the first season.  God damn, he's such a dorky whi…
  • I sent in an email but I'm surprised and a bit bewildered that @A_Ron_Hubbard and Jim just dismissed that it could have been Dan Carlin's Hardcore history on Janice's stereo.  It most certainly was, and here is the clip they used  https://www.youtub…
  • I'm starting to think, by way of my last post, that Dom is going to find her mother taxidermied because she's not going to properly head the warnings. That would certainly be super fucked...
  • mharmless said: Anyone else catch that Dan Carlin was playing in the taxidermy shop? Voice jumped right out at me, but I am going through Hardcore History the past few weeks. I'm actually surprised that @A_Ron_Hubbard didn't catch that Har…
  • I don't know about any "lull".  All I saw was some solid character development that I wasn't expecting based off the first episode or two.  I was fully expecting most of the 7 to be cardboard cutout villains for The Boys to destroy but man, they did…
  • Ok, maybe one more thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LrZiNOvp_c That trailer is one of the best tone piece trailers I've seen for a season of tv.  It sets the feeling, mood, and expansive new direction for, ahem, The Expanse, perfectly.
  • yes, Yes, YES!!! That's all.  Bring on December.
  • I always find it interesting when A_Ron_Hubbard and Jim rate something higher than a previous season but their actual podcast enthusiasm is far more muted.  I mean, go back and listen to the final episode of the season 2's podcast and compare it to …
  • DancesWithWookies said: I have my doubts  Well, thankfully I don't.  I'm with our podcasting boys, last season was just as good as the first and I have no reason to doubt the Duffers.

  • JaimieT said: @Toadie - And I'm just really confused that Star Wars fans saw gutter-trash Luke Skywalker as a kind of Force monarchy. I mean, Obi-Wan was right there, but okay... Yes, I do see Rey as a spiritual successor to Luke now. Luke d…

  • "TLJ took away the hope of Luke Skywalker and upset the balance. Furthermore Rian Johnson didn't explain the First Order so we'd feel like we have a plan going forward. We were left with nothing... no hope... just some intentional (and unintentional…
  • Man, some of my favorite podcasts from our two dudes are the "Star Wars" ones, until, sadly, "The Last Jedi".  I found that movie bold and amazing despite a few small issues, which has obviously put me on opposite side of my favorite podcasters on t…
  • Oh man, just saw the re-watch podcast pop up, and no offense, but even Bald Move's re-watch of this has me dreading listening to another analysis or re-analysis of this film. Maybe I've just been in the trenches of defending this film against nay-sa…
  • We didn't see Chuck die Well, he had a ton of loose paper and paper books surrounding him, so unless this is where he unlocks his hidden, fire-proof super power, he's going to be extra crispy going into next season... He rolled under the couch Ther…

  • As someone that pretty much hated Synder's Watchman, and as a huge fan of the graphic novel, I'm very interested to see where this goes.  After the Leftovers, I'm pretty much game for anything Lindelof, and his brand of storytelling could really mak…
  • The Jimmy stuff these last two episodes felt strange, rushed, and just had me confused more than dramatically interested.  Did I see and hear this wrong, or was Kim aware of what Jimmy was doing with the old folks?  If so, how the FUCK would she be …
