Last of Us Finale (spoilers)
I would have preferred the hospital scene to be a bit longer but otherwise perfect.
Also I love the idea they would do the surgery only in the paediatric department even though they have the entire hospital.
Last of Us VFX Before and After (spoilers)
I love seeing before and afters like this. #TV
something something cgi is ruining movies
Nestflix by @lynnandtonic is so good https://nestflix.fun/
The Last of Us Episode 5 (spoilers)
We got the bloater, finally, and it was as horrifying as I thought it would be.
What an incredible episode. #TV
The Last of Us show is so good I haven't stopped thinking about it since it started. Like, every day I'm thinking about it.
Last one: Stig Quote Generator.
I grabbed every "some say..." Stig intro from the Top Gear wiki, split them, and then randomised them.
"Some say that he can’t eat mashed potato for religious reasons, and that when he dies he thinks you’ll go to Devon"
Weird old project number three: Who's That Emoji? a game à la "Who's that Pokémon" from the anime.
It uses the fact that you can (sometimes) color emojis in css but it doesn't work all the time. I did this in about 10 minutes, question five actually shows you the emoji 🙃
Last of Us episode one is some of the best TV I've ever seen in my life. I already knew what was going to happen but it didn't matter, I couldn't look away. Pedro Pascal is an absolutely perfect casting for Joel.
Brian Hamilton and Ben McCarthy have a Last of Us podcast starting this week, I can't wait. The trailer episode was very good.
📺 Finally watched the “What a sad little life Jane” episode of Come Dine with Me. It’s was better than I could have possibly imagined.
I've missed being able to quickly search for a movie or TV show to grab the year or link when posting to Micro.blog. Which is why I built Lantern.
Saying goodbye to an okay blogging platform with an excellent name and replacing it with Lantern.
Watched Inside the Mind of a Cat and they really stretched the definition of science. Cats though.
We just spent 30 minutes watching the Night Stalker documentary on Netflix only to realise we watched it 18 months ago 🤦♂️
Finished a rewatch of Gavin and Stacey. We really need to come up with Christmas traditions that don’t involve multiple hours of TV.
This could actually be good? The original cast is back (at least for some of it).
This show is going to break me. Looks like Pedro Pascal is gunna nail it.
Finished season 18 of Grey’s Anatomy last night. It was way better than the covid season.
Finished Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (why is that the title?!) last night.
Bit slow at times but Evan Peters deserves an award of some kind for his acting in this.
I'd love to re-edit Lost into shorter seasons. Drop all the side characters who have no effect on anything (sorry Nicki and Paulo), reduce "open the hatch" to one decent episode, just make it more streamline.
Alas, I do not have the time or the skillset.
Finished both seasons of The Wilds last night, I really enjoyed it. I also found out it's been cancelled when I had a few episodes left 😞
Finished another run through of Futurama. It's criminal that this was cancelled* and yet the Simpsons is still limping along.
* it is getting another season
Finished Paper Girls season 1. Can't say I was all that impressed with it, perhaps season 2 will be better.
Watched the first 3 episodes of Paper Girls last night.
Could have done with a bigger budget for VFX and it's not quite as weird as I'd like in comparison to the comics but I'm enjoying it so far.
Finished the first season of Reacher on Amazon Prime last night.
I don't think I've ever seen a more accurate book-to-screen translation before. Alan Ritchson is perfect for the role and absolutely nails it. Can't wait for season 2.
Watched Watch If? Season 1 on Disney+. It was fine, nothing special. Felt very disjointed.
Rewatched Stranger Things season 1. I don’t think anyone has ever acted better than Winona Ryder in this.
Watched Hawkeye season 1.
Hailee Steinfeld is the perfect casting for Kate Bishop. I really hope we get more.
Watched One of Us is Lying season 1.
Not that impressed. Started off strong but didn't really go anywhere.
Watched Clarkson's Farm season 1.
This was very good and Clarkson actually seemed like a normal person for once.
5 minutes of Loki is better than the entirety of Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The singing episode of Grey’s Anatomy is the most torturous 45 minutes of TV I’ve ever watched.
Watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier season 1.
This was really disappointing.
Watched Superstore season 1-5.
Somehow I hadn't even heard of this until recently but it is hilarious.
Watched Timeless.
I enjoyed this enough to watch the two seasons but it really could have done with better writers. There was so little history actually changing that they missed some opportunities to make it feel like there was some actual danger of things going wrong. The last 4-5 episodes were really good.
Watched The Queen's Gambit.
Gave up after 3 episodes. The set design is great though.
Don’t bother watching The Vanishing at The Cecil Hotel unless you’re really into listening to conspiracy theorist’s arguments for the sake of “balance”.
Watched Lost season 1-6.
I really enjoyed watching this 10 years on from the finale. My only complaint is the last season felt a little bit rushed.
The way everyone is able to navigate the island with ease in Lost is inexplicable.
Watched Love is Blind season 1.
This is the pinnacle of garbage reality TV and I couldn't stop watching.
Watched Scrubs season 1-9.
We watched season 9 this time; it's not as bad as I'd remembered. If this had been done completely separately as a show, I think it might have been received better. Eliza Coupe is hilarious.
Watched High Score.
They found some pretty interesting people for this to interview, not all the usual suspects (although some are there of course like John Romero).
Watched My Name Is Earl season 1-4.
Such a shame this got cancelled when it did, it was a great show.
Watched Arrowverse season 2019-2020.
- Legends got even more weird
- Arrow ended fairly gracefully except the backdoor pilot episode
- Flash is always good
- Supergirl is fine
Watched The Simpsons season 16.
I think this is where it started going downhill.
Watched The Simpsons season 30.
Same as season 29, a mixed bag and lots of callbacks.
Watched The Imagineering Story season 1.
That fucking Spider-Man robot, wow.
Watched The Simpsons season 29.
A few good episodes but nothing amazing. A lot of "remember when we were good" callbacks.
Watched The Stranger season 1.
Hannah John-Kamen needs to be in everything.
Watched The World According to Jeff Goldblum season 1.
I think this could do with the episodes being maybe 15 minutes longer as they're quite shallow right now but it's saved by how weird and fascinated by everything that Jeff Goldblum is.
Watched Gotham season 4-5.
I'm amazed at the restraint the writers had to not put Batman in this until the final episode (which was weird but whatever).
Watched Living with Yourself season 1.
Paul Rudd is a treasure (and possibly immortal).
Watched Russian Doll season 1.
Not good enough that I'd watch it again, but very enjoyable.
Watched 13 Reasons Why season 3.
They should stop now. Fun season, but totally lost the spark they had in the last two seasons.
Watched The Office season 1-9.
I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand there are some really funny moments. On the other, I hate every single character in the show. But I still watched it all so I don't know what that says.
Watched Marvel's Jessica Jones season 3.
Not the strongest season but I'm still very sad it's over.
Watched Arrowverse season 2018-2019.
- Arrow was way better than it had been in previous seasons. They could have just ended it here.
- Flash was more of the same, but I enjoyed it.
- Supergirl was good. Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor was amazing, although he could have been more sinister.
- Legends is ridiculous as this point and I love it.
Watched The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
It was interesting to get a better sense of the timeline and see some of the things that the police just never investigated.
Watched After Life season 1.
This is what happens when Ricky Gervais stops being an arrogant dick for 20 minutes. Loved it.
Watched House of Cards season 5.
They did pretty well with what they had to work with.
The more I watch of The Office (US) the more angry I get about how shitty every single person in it is.
Watched Young Sheldon season 1.
This is surprisingly good, the writing is excellent. Reagan Revord is a ridiculously good actress.
Watched Making a Murderer season 2.
Kathleen Zellner is amazing to watch, what a badass.
Watched The Staircase season 1.
I came away from this convinced he didn't kill his wife, until I watched the Forensic Files episode (C2E36) on the case and now I have no idea.
Watched Better Call Saul season 1-3.
I just assumed this'd be another Breaking Bad but it's very different.
Watched Wynonna Earp season 1-2.
Season 1 is excellent, first half of season 2 took a nose dive until they found a way to bring Bobo back.
Watched Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
These are so much fun to watch, especially the Obama episode.
Watched Arrowverse season 2017-2018.
- Arrow was much better this year
- Supergirl was kinda meh
- Flash is always amazing
- Legends was great
Watched Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 season 1-2.
It is what it is. I enjoyed most of it.
Watched The Crown season 1-2.
I really enjoyed this although I take some issue with the way they present fictitious storylines as fact.
Watched 13 Reasons Why season 2.
Even more so than season 1, you should really consider if you're in the right frame of mind to watch a show like this. The last episode destroyed me.
Who decided to call the Dre/Iovine documentary “The Defiant Ones” and not “Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them”?
Watched The Returned season 1.
I hate every character. I hate the story. I hate it so much.
Watched Parks and Recreation season 1-7.
"Yes, we're gonna get a dish rack, and shower curtains, and a cutting board, but if you think for one second that I'm not also gonna get that marshmallow shooter so I can shoot you in the face with marshmallows when you're asleep, then you're the dumbest woman I know."
Andy Dwyer, Season 3, Episode 11
"Jogging is the worst. I know it keeps you healthy, but god, at what cost?"
Anne Perkins, Season 4, Episode 7
Watched Mindhunter season 1.
Very good except the last two episodes where there seemed to be no real consequence to anything that happened.
Watched The Office (US) season 1.
This is much more enjoyable than the UK version.
Watched The Office (US) season 1, Episode 1.
This was a strange experience because the script is almost identical to the UK version but I can see how the characters are completely different already.
Watched Jessica Jones season 2.
Another excellent season.
David Tennant's cameo was a nice surprise.
Watched Jessica Jones season 1.
Jessica Jones and the rest of the cast are some of the most interesting and deep of the MCU. I had to rewatch this before Thursday in preparation for season 2.
Watched The Big Bang Theory season 1-10.
For all it's problems, I still really enjoy this.
Watched The Office (UK) season 1-2.
This is as awkward to watch as ever but I still enjoy it. Two seasons is enough though.
Watched The Good Place season 1, 2 up to E07.
Kristen Bell is a treasure.
Watched My Name is Earl season 1-4.
This really deserves a few more episodes, or a season, to complete the story.
Watched Friends season 1-10.
Rachel should have dumped Ross's jealous ass as soon as the Mark thing started. Urgh.
This tweet brought to you by 1997.
That thread was right, Ross is a complete tool.
Ross is making me so angry. I wanna punch his stupid face.
"Maybe we should take a break"
OH SHITS ABOUT TO KICK OFF
Hmm. I don't think they were on a break.
Wait, no. Rachel says they were broken up.
Oh wow Ross got a laserdisc player.
"I'll get my own dollhouse with blackjack and hookers"
Phoebe did it first.
Found my HD rips. No more 4:3 Friends for me.
SUCH QUALITY
Only now, because it's in HD, have I realised Kathy isn't played by Amanda Peet. My whole life is a lie.
I can't believe he said Rachel's name instead of Emily.
The way they try and get the sofa up the stairs is ridiculous.
noodle soup
So much fragile masculinity in "The One with Ross' Teeth"
Why didn't Ross just say "oh I fucked up my teeth lol". That would have fixed everything
I would have eaten Rachel's beef trifle.
NOT a euphemism
Richard is terrible. He shouldn’t have told Monica he still loved her.
“It’s just good sense to backup your backup”
Phoebe was ahead of her time.
Joey and Rachel should have ended up together.
Nope. Not finished yet.
👏 Paul Rudd 👏
Paul Rudd has all the best lines in season 10.
Oh no not Mark again.
Ross is awful but I still don’t think I’m emotionally ready for the last episode.
Aaaand finished. Thanks for playing.
Watched Defenders season 1.
Not great. Iron Fist needs to be killed off as soon as possible.
Watched Between season 1.
Terrible acting in the first season. Interesting premise but completely ignores some key points of the plot (there was a tiger that no one spoke about‽).
Watched Agents of SHIELD season 4.
Slow start but gets really good after the first few episodes.
Watched Prison Break season 5.
Pretty good but it felt like a supercut of season one and two.
Watched Arrowverse season 2016-2017.
- Flash was on (flash)point as always
- Mid-season Arrow was unbearable, but overall a decent season
- Legends of Tomorrow was completely bonkers but interesting the whole season
- Supergirl still doesn't feel like it fits in the Arrowverse
Watched Sense8 season 2.
A mostly boring season scattered with interesting fight scenes and a dissapointing finale.
Watched The OA season 1.
A self indulgent 8 hour crapfest. I don't recommend anyone watch this.
Watched Legends of Tomorrow season 1.
Doesn't get interesting until the last four episodes, although I did enjoy the crossovers.
Watched Iron Fist season 1.
Not completely terrible, but definitely the worst of the Netflix-Marvel shows.
When are Netflix gunna bring back Bernard's Watch? It's obviously the best show.
Watched Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special.
Not the worst way to spend an hour.
Watched Futurama season 1-7.
This should never have been cancelled. Such an amazing show.
Watched Luke Cage season 1.
Another amazing Netflix Marvel show. The soundtrack is perfect.
Guys, Stranger Things is really good.
Someone should have said something.
