Midway through expanse s2. Some good stuff going on.

It's a great show.

I'm into s3. I'm still not quite sure whether I like it or not.

I love it. But it is totally a case of sf fans having to put up with bits of shitness to get to good stuff.

I'll forgive some dialogue, and bad acting for great world building and mostly good story. This has hit a few bum notes, but is mostly great and has me wanting to see what happens next.

Guys.... I.... Really like Top Gear with Paddy and Freddie.

Have you watched the latest Big Little Lies yet, Kow? Lot to pack in in the final few seconds.

Stranger Things, I've only had chance to watch two episodes so far as I want to watch it with Danielle.

Spoiler:

Still a grand watch though.

yeah. I'm enjoying it a lot generally, the chemistry between the 3 seems pretty genuine, but it does often comes across as the '2 big lads picking on the little smart kid'

Gremill

Stranger Things 3 was brilliant fun as usual, but I think it'll take another viewing to really appreciate it.

Continuing with Nightflyers now, I'm quite keen to get it over with. It's pretty boring.

Somehow it just works.
It's great fun again.

I concur

Finished Nightflyers - what a fucking mess of a show.

Does it get even worse after that?

Only gets better from there.

Y’know What I liked about the ending to Stranger Things S3?

Y’know what I didn’t like?

Microsoft pricks are doing a competition where they mention a major spoiler on Twitter and a mate obviously retweeted it because he's entering it and even though I'm avoiding Twitter it ended up in my inbox. Cunts!

poprock

Gotta admit, I didn’t think that was a spoiler. I saw someone else complain about it earlier and really didn’t see why.

b0r1s

It really is. It's about the end of the series (I assume) and if there is any drama leading up to that then it is just gone. Either way it was a wank way to post when they could have just avoided it.

poprock

I’m gonna put this in spoiler tags just in case, but I’m just checking that we’re talking about the same competition/tweet.

Spoiler:

Because …

Spoiler:

But I guess you have a different point of view. Unless you’re talking about a different tweet.

I'm not gonna read the spoiler now obvs as I'm not through it, but will come back to it.

If you've seen the end then this is roughly what they said...

When they bill it as 'from the mind of GRRM', was it just completely unfiltered unedited brain farts?

Now that the Mindflayer is dead enter our competition.

That’s not quite what they said. You can safely open my first spoiler tag up there, for the actual wording.

Anyway, yeah. I don’t see that as a spoiler at all. But I guess everyone has different opinions on what’s a spoiler and what isn’t. Some people don’t even like knowing running times, eh?

b0r1s

Yeah just re-read it...

Spoiler:

poprock

All that does is tell you a certain key character is in it again. Which is also shown in trailers, posters, etc.

I reckon it’s been misinterpreted as a spoiler when it really isn’t. But hey, it’s annoyed a bunch of people anyway.

b0r1s

Haven't seen posters, haven't watched trailers. I'll watch and come back with a balanced view once I've seen it. Right now I stand by the fact that MS are cunts, but probably for a whole bunch of reasons beyond this :-)

The following contains lots of (minor) spoilers for series 3 of Stranger Things, but it’s also pretty much perfect...

hylian_elf

Aw man.

poprock

That’s beautiful.

I posted this in the film thread, but it belongs here: Katsuhiro Otomo is making a TV show sequel to Akira, with the Bandai Namco animation studio. That’s all I know about it so far.
