Turtlicious posted:the new loki is going to be the old loki, but like the new loki's first trick is convincing thor that she is loki reincarnated. the ghost of loki finds this hilarious and helps out but only for about 60,000 / minute. It'll be there called the Young Loki Chronicles, introduced every week by Tom Hiddleston beginning to tell a story from his past, weeks alternate between Kid Loki and Teen Loki.

Yes please. Just adapt Journey Into Mystery into the Young Indy format and everyone's happy. Bonus points if modern-day Loki is yelling at obnoxious kids.

Whelp, just finished my annual True Detective season 1 binge. -many moments in the first 2 eps i forgot about. lots of them casual banter between rust and marty. v chill and cool. -i only just clicked that the triangle branch sculptures were bird traps. according to the internet, cajun bird traps. the creepy cult men were literally trapping young woman and children. ugh. -quite a few moments of levity throughout the season. especially with marty growing weary and then accepting rust's musings. -in the time jump to 2012, rust's taillight is still broken from the fight in 2002. he's still stuck in the past+cbf. -the end conversation about light and dark/black night sky/stars is more on the nose than i remember. its stellar however. -corcosa! i know reviews and posts have felt the finale was underwhelming, sure. but personally i really loved it. the old pirate hideout is so lush and green and dark. its brilliant. -the yellow king! other mythos! i've got a reading list to finally do. including 2666 and maybe finally blood meridian? i absolutely adore it when shows drop spooky mythology behind it all but never quite explain it. -i also love how many unresolved mysteries there are in this season. who made the phone call to the inmate who then killed himself? what was said on the phone call? how much did the antichristian task force knowknow? also, the 'bracing' of the pastor tuttle gets better in every viewing. the pastor is an intelligent man, v controlled and chill. but something i picked up on this time around-did he make a veiled threat/call out to rust about "how much can you trust a man who drinks?" referring to somehow knowing rust leaning on the former tent preacher's word? or was he even referring to rust himself? rust wasn't much of a drinker than. but he was a drinker. i love this conversation. "of course there was flooding of the records a few years back.." ...yes. -the brightness of the yacht scenes in e7/e8 contrasting with the growing darkness of the rest of the show was chill and good. -marty sure likes them crazy. -i like to think marty brings in colhe to his p.i. firm after this case. they have chill bro times and never fight again *sigh* -i love this show for many reasons. one of them is the paranoia rust/the viewer shares when every member of the establishment/law enforcement could be in on the culty situation. you never find out who knows how much. and rust switches on pretty early on in the series too. i think e2 is when they bring in the 'task force lol'. -god. two messed up detectives following cold leads in a case that nobody else gives a crap about, interviewing randoms on boats and in machine shops, slowly edging towards an understanding - but v v slowly is my jam 100%. i love how with rust investigates he really spreads out as far as he can go. "i want records marty, everything." tax man. -only 8 episodes is a travsity. i get its pitch perfect length for telling the story. i just wish there was infinite high quality s1 true detective out there. honestly, i know i'm fanboying but this show ruins other dramas/crime shows for me. its. so. perfect. the cinematography, the editing and pacing. how much goes unsaid. time for half heartidly watch season 2 and lie to myself that its fine. its fine. its more true detective! whoa! so many more episodes! and its still dark and edgy. with killer acting and corruption and a dude in an animal mask and twisty plot that goes nowhere for ages and finally gets tight in like the last two episodes but by then nobody is watching. its fine. yay. and s3 is out soon - oh, in jan. anyway, thanks for being a place i can splurge out about my fave. *peace*

Lampsacus posted:Whelp, just finished my annual True Detective season 1 binge. True Detective season 1 is one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen. There's something that just draws you in so completely. Plus the camera work, music, on top of the acting, the border between supernatural and just weird, the similar borderline between a incestuous occult murder cult and a political dynasty whose goal is to siphon away public money to their own pockets (funny that Betsy DeVos basically is the real TD S1 villain but on a national level)... one of the few TV seasons I might say is actually perfect. True Detective season 2 is obviously nowhere near the same league and very disappointing when compared to season 1, but on its own merits I like it for what it is. If we didn't just get Twin Peaks: The Return, I would say it was the most modern David Lynch thing than any of the shows or movies creators explicitly say were inspired by Lynch.

Because I am incredibly homosexual I avoided all Emmy info til I had a chance to watch the ceremony and loving seriously at GoT winning over The Americans tho ?? I did appreciate how even Peter Dinklage clearly doesn't think he should have won Best Supporting again tho lmbo. Don't think I've gotten that emotional ever a writing Emmy ever. Salted about Russell not winning Best Actress, but Claire Foy was loving phenomenal on The Crown, especially season 2. It's a shame she only had two years to grab a statue, and all, but I've been waiting for Keri to get one for like six so gently caress that!! Otherwise p much everything I wanted to win won. I was surprised to see no nominations for Kyle MacLachlan tho. Sad. Super happy AHC: Assassintion of Gianni Versace did so well. e: the past few years I've loved the insane in theatre reaction any nomination for The Americans gets at the Emmy's. It's a drat relief it finally took home some of the ones it should have been getting all this time. Going to miss the insane pop that show gets compared to everything else from people in the industry lmao

Our dreams have been answered. https://www.punknews.org/article/68018/iggy-pop-henry-rollins-on-william-shatner-christmas-album quote:Star Trek's William Shatner is going to release a Christmas album called Shatner Claus - The Christmas Album. That's out October 26th via Cleopatra Records. It features guest spots from artists all over the music map, including Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, as well as non-punk artists such as Ian Anderson, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, and Rick Wakeman. Hear Shatner and Rollins cover "Jingle Bells" at Rolling Stone.

CBS All Access has really good shows though? One Dollar? Strange Angel? The Good Fight? They're all really good, under the radar shows. None of which is like the channel's usual fair (even The Good Wife, which always stood out anyway).

I think there's something to be said about complaining about progressiveness for just the sake of being progressive, or to pat onesself on the back or w/e, but lmbo the second someone's complaint has the term SJW it's a nice easy way to know I can just tune out b/c there will be no real opinion and instead it's just dumb bitching e: also the extra lol of people bitching about it w/r/t TLZ lmbo

Progressiveness just for the sake of progressiveness isn't even that bad, but shows like Outer Limits and Twilight Zone are where it's a perfect fit.

Yeah, it's still a step in the right direction, just sometimes an eyeroll-y one depending on how serious you can tell the creators may or may not be about the decision.
