Watching the Empire Strkes Back.

Holy Shit. [spoiler]Darth Vader[/spoiler] is [spoiler]Luke's [/spoiler] father.

I 'm fine with them when it's something relatively [spoiler]new[/spoiler]. Thing is when do you [spoiler]stop?[/spoiler] I used to have this argument at the work kitchen table, when we would be talking about the finale of GoT, and someone would say "no spoilers, I haven't started watching the series yet."

I mean, it's no big deal. It just seems silly.

By the way, I haven't watched GAme 7 of the Leafs v. Habs game yet. Hope we win.

I figured it out.

Then you're smarter than Lucas, who still had not figured it out when making ESB.

I'm going to try this one the next time I run into a bible nut.

Archer Season 8, "Dreamland." Really enjoyed the season, even though it rates below average on IMDB compared to other seasons. I liked the over the top noir shenanigans. And it made me nostalgic for playing L.A. Noire which is set in the same year. Nice send off for George Coe (Woodhouse), too.

Based on the preview art, season 9 seems to be inspired by Tales of the Gold Monkey, a show I loved as a kid (and which was the basis for Disney's Talespin, which I also loved).

I loved tales of the Gold Monkey, and loved the season of Archer.  Most other people I know didn't. But they are heathens.

I loved the Pacific Island Archer season, too. Actually more than S8. But most people didn't.

Watching White Lotus. Good fun. Sort of Fawlty Towers meets Dallas.

[Eddie Teach]

Sweet Tooth. I liked it.

[Josquius]

I've finished watching Clarksons Farm.
Its genuinely great. Speaking as someone who was once into Top Gear but completely lost interest in it and the Grand Tour after the incident.
Even my GF loves it. She has never heard of Clarkson.
I demand series 2.

For those interested in movie visual effects there's been a quite interesting Radio 4 series on the changes in the business over the last 45 years:

Unreal: The VFX Revolution
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000xlth

Episode 1 of 3
A Long, Long Time Ago...

The story of how visual effects changed and changed cinema told from the inside by the Oscar winning Paul Franklin. In 1975, in a nondescript warehouse in Van Nuys, George Lucas and John Dykstra created a visual effects startup that would make history. Industrial Light & Magic. A group of many talents spent well over a year in R&D to perfect the dream of motion control before X-Wings and the Millennium Falcon could soar. Meanwhile the magic eye of Douglas Trumbull and his team was creating the light show for Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters. It was the beginning of a revolution.
