Constellation n Apple + is a trip. There’s only three episodes so far but I’m sucked in.
Seems like a .parallel universe thing. but it’s done in a slightly unsettling mysterious way.

I've been effectively thirst trapped by those Pepperidge Farm commercials with Hannah Waddingham on them
Finished Night Country yesterday. Didn't love it after those slow episodes 3&4. Thought the ending was pretty lazy.
Still rate it better than S2.

Yeah, it just... wasn't great. Biggest problem is the characters were not interesting, and a lot of them were not well acted/performed either.
A lot of very weird editing choices too.

Watched the finale yesterday and I've no idea how this thing ended up getting all the praise it got from critics pre-release. I liked the first five episodes well enough, but the more the show went on, the more it became obvious that only a truly stellar finale, the kind that brings everything together in an exquisite way, would've possibly made this thing worthy of the aforementioned praise. Arguably the opposite happened - instead of elevating the season, the finale soured the whole thing. So many baffling, sudden and laughable choices in the resolving of this tangle.

Can't wait, may rewatch in the spring. Season 2 was a drag though

The first three episodes of Constellation left me ... not very impressed. It's kind of like a watered-down Devs at a glacial pace.
Will give it another ep or two, see if it picks up, but it's looking like a pass.

By bud Go To Postspeaking of wikipedia: it is, and has been for many years now, my go-to for checking someone’s filmography.imdb used to be so good and the forum was a treasure trove of fun facts.
used to be imdb, but that site’s gone to shit.
Sonic Movie is actually decent - better than anything Nintendo ever made.
Is that a specific story? I was thinking they used Shogun as a sort of catch-all term for .. things.. during medieval Japan
By diehard Go To PostIs that a specific story? I was thinking they used Shogun as a sort of catch-all term for .. things.. during medieval JapanWilliam Adams is the real person James Blackthorn is based off of. He helped modernize the Shogunate's navy and was granted samurai status.
Shogun, thanks to the book, usually refers to the Tokugawa rule known as the Edo period when the Tokugawa clan unified Japan, took the title of Shogun and closed the country from 1603 to 1868
By blackace Go To PostKinda wish we could get the story of William Adams instead of Shogun.Just play Nioh innit
By NiceGuy Go To PostJust play Nioh innitSorry, I should have clarified that I wanted a good story
Watched the first two episodes of Shogun. Thought it was funny that episode two ends with a sequence that is basically the same thing that happens at a key part of The Wolverine, with even the same actor on a similar set
I watched the first episode, and damn Blackthorn was annoying and some things didn't make sense. But maybe the English were that arrogant and stupid at that time, what do I know.
Anyway, it has potential. Will watch the second episode tonight.

Blackthorne - Cosmo Jarvis, is a lot better in the second episode. Actually when he doesn't have to hide behind the scraggily facial hair is when things turn for the better.
Gonna check out Shogun off Smokey's recommendation AND....I see Anna Sawai is in it, that's an auto watch.

He was definitely looking very weak the last few years. The season where he needed a kidney was one of their best.
The history of Curb podcast with Jeff and Susie has been pretty good. It just started. I've been listening while on the train the last week or two.
