Hopefully someone else picks it up. It is the top rated show. Somebody is bound to value making money over appeasing Trump.

Quote from: Tamas on July 17, 2025, 03:35:25 AMThis morning the same online "news site" who broke the poor dead guy's story now posted about a church burned and desecrated with "Hungarians out" messages in a Hungarian village, picked up by Orban immediately to swear Hungary will defend Hungarians there.

Very obvious russian false-flag operation. It's like the Scandinavian Koran-burnings during the NATO negotiations for Sweden. The Turks pretended to be retarded and outraged over them in order to extract other concessions.

Poker Face S3E6. What a hoot. Best of the season so far for me. Children are the worst (or at least one very psycho demon child is, at least). :D And it features Joseph Gerbils (the class pet gerbil).

And it has esteemed character actress Margo Martindale. :wub:

Quote from: Admiral Yi on Today at 02:21:41 AMI missed the part of the conversation when Raz said he's wholly unconcerned about Palestinian collateral damage.

You are right, you did miss it.

I probably need to get this.

I guess they won't 4k the extras - the making of materials in the original DVD release were extremely good, Peter Weir is such a methodical and articulate filmmaker.

He's been plenty on the History Hit main channel previously - has he left them or is it a spin off?

Yeah, I wasn't too fond of that (though it confirmed something that was long kinda considered canon by everyone), either (no blame on any of the performers, btw). And I appreciate them going a bit light and silly after the intense opening episode. :D

And yes, hard to imagine Nimoy doing this, though I think he did have some comedic chops.

I wish Star Wars would take heed. Between Original shows, Kelvin timeline and Discovery/SNW, we are on the third actor for many characters, and they all manage to make them their own without doing an impersonation. But I guess after Solo flopping (no fault of Alden Ehrenreich or Donald Glover who did excellent jobs IMO) they seem extremely reluctant to do it. Maybe the Bail Organa situation in Andor was a test balloon? We'll see.

However, Martin Quinn as baby Montgomery Scott is fun (esp. with Carol Kane). And finally a True Scotsman(TM) :P playing the role. :D

Poke Face S2E5. That's more like it. More grounded than some of the previous episodes (except, well ... uhm ... :D ).

Also, love me a "washed up talent in the minors" baseball story. And some extra Carol Kane after Strange New World's season opening. :wub:
