Trekkies picking on Firefly fans is like the Kiwifarms people picking on Sonichu.

I never really gave a hoot about the relationship between the leads in the original Cinemax run of Strike Back. The show was dope and I loved it (though it does decline in quality). Checking out the sequel series and I can't stand either of these leads. I could tolerate blank ciphers running around all the exploding poo poo but these guy actively annoy me.

The new series improves as it goes along. There's a hallway action scene that rivals anything from the original series. There's also a neat cameo the last couple episodes.

Yeah, by the end, it's really pretty good, and the new season looks like it's been shaping up nicely. Warren Brown and Alin Sumarwata are for sure the best two characters. But Dan MacPherson is good too. Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Sep 24, 2018 |

LividLiquid posted:Star Wars fans are toxic as gently caress and every pedophile is into Star Trek, but we poo poo on Firefly? Really? Oh, Star Wars fans are absolutely the worst. If you'd told me five years ago that by 2018 a) Donald Trump would be president; and b) Star Wars fans would be worse than bronies, then a) would have been a lot less difficult to believe.

Where are y'all interacting with all these horrible fandoms? I think the only time I'm exposed to any of this poo poo is when it actually makes news like with the whole Rick & Morty szechuan sauce thing.

It's so not my type of show, but drat if the lead isn't so loving charming. Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Sep 24, 2018 |

Ah yes, Firefly, the classic women-heavy fanbase that people look down on because of all the women in it we all know Firefly and Sherlock are “the fanbases with the women”, right Reading that post felt like having a stroke, I wish I could make poo poo up so brazenly

The one Szechuan video everyone freaked out over was a Proud Boy doing it intentionally to make more ammo for pushing their narrative about how college students are triggered snowflakes so congrats on that.

Last year a kid came into the store and tried to use two packs of the szechuan sauce as currency. So gently caress R&M forever.

Comcast's purchase of Sky may have ripple effects in the US. Disney currently holds 39% stake in Sky and it's expected that Comcast will strike a deal that has Disney give up that stake in exchange for Comcast giving up their stake in Hulu to Disney. That would give Disney 90% ownership in Hulu. I wouldn't be surprised to see Comcast then pull NBC content from Hulu's on demand library after some time, leaving Hulu to be pretty much a Fox/ABC content streaming portal. At that point, I would expect Disney's streaming service to be an add-on option for Hulu. Lines are being drawn with the media empires with Hulu being Disney, All-Access being CBS, and likely some Xfinity branded VOD offering for NBCU.

I wonder when they're gonna realize that the whole reason streaming took off in the first place was that they didn't pull this dumb poo poo, and were willing to at least kinda work together and aggregate their stuff across a small number of places. Like, if Netflix Instant hadn't had a solid multi-year run of being genuinely really loving good and having basically everything, I don't think any of this would even look viable to anyone.

For years people agitated for ala carte cable and this is kind of what's happening with streaming platforms fracturing so while I'd prefer to have one service that has every show i'd ever want to watch for one low low price, this is still going to be better than it was.

Especially with them recognizing people want ad free experiences. Both FX and AMC offer premium ad free experiences and Hulu and All Access allow you to pay your way out of ads too. I just want the highest audio/video quality possible and no ads and I'm willing to pay for that for the content I want to watch. Currently, that means buying the episodes themselves, but I like that more options are opening up. My ideal situation would be Amazon channel ad-ons for all the major players (FX+, AMC, NBCU) that would give me full back catalog ad-free access.

You do still need to be subscribed to the channel though a traditional provider first, this is a premium on top. FX+ is $5.99/month and gives you ad-free access to nearly everything on FX now and gives you back catalog access for a lot of stuff too. You also get early access to episodes (available as they air instead of a day later.) AMC Premier is $4.99/month and gives you ad-free access to complete currently running seasons along with early access. No real back catalog though. Again, these are on top of paying to access the channel through a traditional provider, but it's nice the option exists.
