Big Salad Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Finished the first season of Resident Alien. Pleasantly surprised how much I liked it and looking forward to the next season whenever it comes out (Probably next year). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 22, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2021 I see Apple TV have done Asimov's 'Foundation'. Several of the male characters have become women. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alien actor is superb. Me and my 9 year old daughter but enjoyed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Was gonna call him Alan Turing. It's Alan Tudyk I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Still on "Outlander" and it slightly annoyed me last night. In season one, it was OK for them to show us Black Jack Randall's cock, but last night when Claire had her fanny waxed we didn't get to see anything.

Spoony Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Rewatching Peaky Blinders having found it alright and just needing some background TV…got to say, I actually think it’s a load of shit. Great if you like wide shots, lots of slow motion walking, a thousand versions of the same song, ridiculously try-hard character development (ooo look here’s Polly she’s empowering, ooo look it’s Michael he’s arrrd and trying to make a name for himself, here’s Arthur he’s mental and unhinged, ooo here’s Tommy he’s brooding and doesn’t smile). And the plots have just become utterly ridiculous. I imagine it must be popular in Brum so sorry, but had to vent… 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t set in Bham I would have given up, but because it name drops locations that I know it helps maintain my interest. For example the gang that was walking up Stratford Road made me chuckle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird as **** at times but overall keeps you entertained. It's next on my list so hoping it's good. From the tiny bits I know about it already it does seem like a remake of Battle Royale which is a great film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This one is out today I think, new Mike Flanagan series. Might be something. Also the first 2 eps of sci-fi epos Foundation are out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect an enraged reaction from right wingers, but I suspect that the venn diagram of 2021 TV sci-fi fans and readers of 1950s SF books has a pretty small overlap.
