At the bare minimum Freddy Highmore should have got a Best Actor nom because he loving murdered in the last season. Pun absolutely intended.

I am really confused about Bates Motel still getting nothing. Vera got nominated once, but has it gotten any since then? I had foolishly assumed they would at least acknowledge it, being the final season and all. Chaffed about The Americans, too. Very happy about RuPaul's Drag Race. e: I suppose this is maybe the true price we pay for Bates Motel being an A&E show? esperterra fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Does anyone know where you can find From Earth to the Moon online? It was an HBO show but not on HBO Go. Seems like the only way to watch is to buy the DVDs. Also is there a better space series/docuseries available about the space race?

It was also a real breakout role for Rami Malek. He played Snafu, the hosed up guy who served with Sledge.

I don't know if there's a better one, but it's really good. I have the widescreen DVDs and I've watched it several times all the way through. It's one of my favorite things HBO has ever done and it's forgotten by most people, including HBO it seems.

Noticed HBO is selling the DVD set for $25 which is probably what I'll do (I hate DVDs) but I don't get why it's not streaming.

Earth to the Moon is the whitest show I've ever seen, more than Girls. Also literally all the women in the show are nothing characters. The entirety of their arc is worryingly watching TV news and then cooking in the kitchen or backyard barbecues. The astronauts are rockstar gods with no other nuance.

Welp, I'm out for watching Mist. Not because it's boring, or bad cgi, but because a little kid dies and I just said goodbye to my kids for the weekend. I'm getting soft.

That caught me by surprise, although it probably shouldn't have since both previous versions of the Mist were super dark.

Penn & Teller: Fool Us is back for another season and it had a solid first episode. The trailer focused on large prop tricks so I was worried it had turned into Masters of Illusion but they seem to still have the more intimate, smaller (but not simpler) tricks and after another season or two Alyson Hannigan might actually look comfortable on stage. The four acts tonight were an absolute joy to watch, including one guy with so much charisma and skill I don't think they wanted to figure it out.

And now people are saying it deserves legacy Emmys right next to The Leftovers 🤔 Rihanna was barely on the show, and did pretty well with the part. The show itself doesn't deserve to win any Emmys. The first couple of seasons suffered from spreading itself too thin trying to build a show beyond the source material and often failing to make it compelling. Like pretty much every show, once it got a firm end date that they were able to build to the show got exponentially better and by the end was very good by pretty much any TV standard. The performances by Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, however, were excellent from the start and only got better as the show went along. Either of them would have been deserving winners in pretty much any season, honestly.

Yeah, Hannibal rules. I never in a million years expected that when I found out there was a Hannibal show, that the show's portrayal of Hannibal Lector would become my personal definitive version of the character. And yet, here we are.

Inspector 34 posted:I think if The Mist had a different tone I would actually like it. It's just so serious most of the time that the ridiculous dialog and writing make me cringe. Then out of nowhere a guy turns into a moth. I said it was very well made, and it is. Draw your own conclusions on how worthy of praise it is. It's entertaining as gently caress and solid B+ grade horror tv. It's a loving masterpiece as far as SpikeTV is concerned. DC Murderverse posted:watch Hannibal I'm gay for Hannibal's suits.

Just watched Salvation quote:An MIT grad student and a tech superstar bring a low-level Pentagon official a staggering discovery--that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth. Not sure if I'll keep watching. The premise seems okay but I think it's going to have the trappings of a normal CBS drama that will make me angry. They're "bad guy element" seems kind of dumb but I guess obvious.

Hopkins version was a cartoon even compared to the Manhunter version. In Manhunter he's not only smart but an arrogant rear end in a top hat. By the time we see Ridley Scott's 2001 movie Hannibal is a god drat superhero killing bad guys and corrupt cops.
