Know there’s a bunch of weird crap in it. It’s not like when I was a complete idiot, started reading The Stand, forgot it was Steven King, and got pissed 150 pages into the book when sci-fi stuff started happening.

I have never watched Lost and am thinking of changing that.

I watched the first season as it happened and never went back

Started Lost. I’m 9 episodes in. It’s not good, but it definitely has me by my balls.

Ya I did a rewatch in July/August I think. What's in the hatch?!

I don’t know anything about a hatch yet.  :runaway:

My bad  :bang:

The thing about lost is that if it was made today it would be like 70 percent shorter

I saw a clip of them putting him in all the makeup and thought "couldn't they find someone who is a better actor that looks more like The Penguin?" Apparently not.

Saw a TikTok that joking the producer thought Brendan Gleeson would be perfect and asked for that Irish actor from Banshees of Inisherin and In Bruges

That's a good joke. I'm probably going to tell that to a few buds.

(That sounds sarcastic but it's not)

The Day of the Jackal has my balls in a vice after an episode.

Through 5 episodes my balls are still gripped but to a lesser extent. And it's more and more clear that this should be on a network channel, which makes me wish it didn't have my balls at all. But plot holes be damned, it does.

I guess I'm watching all 50 or 60 Taylor Sheridan projects now.  Yellowstone is probably the worst of all of them. That said, Lioness is not bad.

Nobody Wants This was pretty much what you'd expect for a show that stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody and was marketed as a very Judd Apatow feel. Would not have watched solo, but the wife and I enjoyed it.

No spoiler alert in this, but I still remember everyone guessing about the show and what was going on from the beginning. Then the directors saying nope that's not what is going to happen and then that's exactly how it ended.

same.  gave me the same feeling as watching Gilmore Girls.  a show i wouldn't watch on my own, but as far as those types of shows go, very enjoyable.

I’m 10 episodes in and there are a couple things that seem painfully obvious to me & I'm curious if I’m correct or if they put in things that are blatantly obvious in on purpose to trick you.

my impression of Lost is nothing is ever obvious and nothing ever gets explained, and that's ok. kind of amazing this show was on network TV 20 years ago tbh

I had and continue to have a very, very, very, very, very strong suspicion that the writers and producers of Lost did not begin that show with the full story in place and made crap up on the fly.

The things that seem obvious to me are people’s motives, not necessarily what’s happening on the island. There’s also been 1 or 2 things where I’m thinking “I know I saw that & the character did too, but they haven’t cared about it for 4 episodes”. I’m pretty sure they did that on purpose because 20 years ago you’d forget about it over a couple months, compared to now when you can binge and keep watching for it to come back up.

If it’s like the last Star Wars trilogy where they completely change everything movie-to-movie / season-to-season then I’ll be pissed. However, I don’t think it would be beloved if that was the case.

They basically had a story for 3 seasons including the ending, but had to fill in 3 additional seasons of filler because of network TV.

A Man on the Inside is pretty good through two episodes. I trust a Michael Schur show so I have high hopes.

Arcane - so s1 was like a 15/7, but s2 is like a 6.9/7. Maybe I just need more time to process it.

A Man On The Inside is the best thing I've watched in a while. Very funny, and very feel-goody. I've laughed out loud at it more times than any show since Brooklyn Nine-Nine (another Michael Schur offering).
