Gonna have to suck my dick you fuckman on that one, good sir. The House of Cards intro is so ingrained into my head I can't even look at a picture of Kevin Spacey without hearing it. And that is good.

Halt and Catch Fire season 3 is up on the Flix. So far it's just as good as season 2.

They used to let you skip intros like 4 years ago and then it just disappeared, although hilariously you couldn't do it for Netflix produced shows.

They ought to just add a checkmark to account settings for "if I watch more than 2, auto-skip intro song."

There are a few shows I love the intro every time, but usually I'd rather have those 2 minutes of my life without having to stop what I'm doing and do it manually. ;)

They used to do it where if you watched more than one episode in a row it would skip the intro. It sucked if the show had cold opens though.

Now it identifies the cold open and skip doesn't show up until the theme :)

I watched Sense8 recently and even if I just watched one episode, if I let it auto-play the next episode it would skip the intro.

Season 3 was real good. That's a show that improved the whole way out. There are 1-2 eps towards the end of season 3 that sort of distill what each character is truly about that are pretty drat good.

People with Amazon Prime should check out Remember. Christopher Plummer plays a survivor of Auschwitz who, after his wife dies, goes hunting for the SS officer who murdered his family. It also features Martin Landau, Dean Norris, Henry Czerny, and Bruno Ganz. Plummer and Landau are great and it's very tense throughout.

I'm loving Samurai Gourmet. I don't know what I was expecting but it's basically beautiful meals wrapped in a cute plot about a retired guy rediscovering his love of food. And beer. Lots of beer. I'm only a few episodes in, hoping it doesn't get weird or dark out of nowhere. So far it's like the perfect Saturday afternoon show.

Indeed it is crazy.

Please don't read the spoilers if you haven't watched it because that movie goes places. I really wasn't expecting a tickle fetish documentary to have a villain complete with a decades-spanning nationwide conspiracy, but god drat it sure loving did. It's probably the best case I've ever seen of truth being stranger than fiction.

The documentary didn't get too far into it, but apparently he definitely had literal underage boys making tickle videos for him

I hope more about him comes out because he sounds like a real evil lunatic bastard who has wronged tons of people in weird ways. Also I'm glad that it happened before his suit against his aunt could proceed.

The world is inarguably a better place without him so I'm glad he's dead but I really wanted to see how this would all play out. He lost a lot of his power once the spotlight was on him and his blustering in The Tickle King made it look like he was at least partially aware of that, but he was such a complete prick that was gonna go down flailing anyway. That look of "Are you hearing this?! We got him!" when Dylan said he supports gay rights sure was something.

The only minor nitpick I have about the show is how loose it plays with the timeline. In episode 5 or 6, Gordon names the Atari 2600 game Xenophobe, which wouldn't have been out yet in the year the show purports to be in. On top of the major time skips the show already had. :goonsay:

I finished Iron Fist, it starts to get better in the second half and then sinks back into mediocrity. Ward is the only character worth watching.

What really sucks is that The Hand are the thread tying together the various Netflix Marvel shows, and it's hard to think of a more boring antagonist than the inscrutable, mystical ninja menace.

Iron Fist sounds like a real downer, but if you want another Marvel TV show to take its place I highly recommend Legion. The first six(ish?) episodes are available on Hulu with more added as they air. It's about David Haller, who is a mutant telepath with multiple personality disorder and who is secretly Charles Xavier's son. Every episode is a fun little mind gently caress and it's one of the best-looking TV shows going.

In fairness it might not even be true in the show, they've made a point of carving out their own little space canon-wise. Or it might be "true" but only on the level of a wink-and-nod for dedicated comics nerds and not a real plot point.

Someone once told me, "Time is a flat circle".
A while ago folks were talking about Patriot on Amazon Prime. It's really quite good and hilarious at times. Go in cold.

I did feel like the last two episodes weren't quite as strong as the lead-up though. Kinda felt like it was a bit rushed, and they had to leave a few things too open ended to provide cliffhangers for more seasons.

I never thought I'd laugh as hard as I did about a joke focused in drawing a circle.

Poor Steven though...

Seriously, that David has a father whose name is Charles Xavier cannot be a real plot point, given that Xavier isn't a character on the show. If he becomes a character on the show, it's no different in terms of the plot than if the character was named anything else. That there is another character with the same name and power set, or whatever, who has appeared in movies is entirely irrelevant to the plot of very-good show Legion.

No and probably not from what we've seen so far. We find out in the second episode that mutants are being hunted by a secret government organization called Division Three which is converting the willing to assets and suppressing/killing the rest, and the mutants who rescued David are a resistance group against them. The public at large seems completely ignorant of the existence of mutants. If the X-Men do exist in this universe I don't see how they could be anything like the movies, they'd have to be much more secretive and underground for one.
