All right. It's Saturday night; I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix-tape... Let's rock.

I watched the four seasons the other day, that’s a good old person movie

Basically all Disney+ CG is trash.

I thought the CG in Andor looked good. Mando is spotty. The Marvel shows all look like garbo though.

First season of Mando was solid. Show felt like it got progressively cheaper though. I think Andor looks good because it doesn't try to go as fantasy in the SFX department as the other shows.

It's incredibly funny how bad the marvel cg is



Tho I feel bad for the cg artists being under incredible crunch in order to churn it out half complete

Mando has some tone problems this season and it feels like they're spreading a small amount of plot very thin. Burning time by pointing the camera at action figures with no personality in a cave but hey, Star Wars. And yeah the show is shot very flat and boring which is a shame considering it's Dean Cundey this time.

You can also kinda feel the gun Disney is pointing at John Favreau's head, saying "Don't you try and write Baby Yoda off again."

They should stop showing those key frame paintings at the end of each episode because they always look better than the actual show.

Mandalorian is mostly fine this season, it's OK if a show is just about ideas for Disneyland rides.

Tetris could've been way better if it wasn't made like it's audience has zero attention span. It gets kind of annoying.

Ok I hate Goyer I still have Foundation a shot but it should have been called Rube Goldberg space fuckery
I'm regretting my decision at the halfway point

Foundation has it's moments, but you're right that it's full of Goyerisms. It's interesting that the most compelling parts revolve around the Emperor rather than the pyschohistory stuff.

I guess you could say it got a little long in the tooth. The same way someone says "it got old after a while" when a show goes on too long.

Show is extremely pretty and extremely dumb. It's additionally frustrating because they basically figured out a way to adapt the unadaptable Foundation, but then they hosed it up with shockingly inept writing.

The only interesting parts of the show were with Lee Pace and his clones. Everything else was an absolute loving slog.

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
I’ve watched a lot of really bad boring sci-fi tv since Foundation aired, so my reevaluation of the show is “don’t think too hard and just savor the very pretty weirder bits”.

I dunno, just browse twitter whenever they’re not focusing on Lee Pace’s storyline or something. There’s far worse shows out there.

Its goes against the core themes of the books which can be fine, but not if its doing that so it can use extremely boring cliches.

You have both math wizzos and dirk gently holistic detectives in the same world, it should be a chore like this

I gotta disagree with this. I really liked the show until the last episode which was a complete mess.

It's a great show, but it was at its best in the first two seasons, and has been treading water in seasons 3 and 4, that one episode aside. Looking forward to see how that event drives things forward. Might be premature to call it GOAT.

I think its GOAT-tier, sure. Season 3 might not have been as strong, but the finale was one of its best episodes. The decision to end the show while its still great works in its favor.

As someone who doesn't watch the show, it has been funny seeing people on Twitter post clips from it like: "I can't believe they did this!" and the clip is someone closing a laptop or leaning back in a chair.

I'm sure there's context if you're familiar with the show but as an outsider it's been pretty funny.

I can only assume it's referencing the scene where Roman accidentally sends a dick pic to his father.
