Best thing about 12 Monkeys is that occasionally actors from ReGenesis would show up and I'd get all nostalgic. When Peter Outerbridge was a scientist of all things, I got so many feels...

12 Monkeys has a character named Future rear end in a top hat. It is the best.

A couple more on BBC America and Showtime I guess. But yeah a little slim pickings. Anyvay, first episode down of 12 Monkeys, not bad. There's a nice level of seriousness/competence. Good acting, especially from Leland Frost. What a fantastic actor.

I loved the books when I was a kid. I sort of half watched the movies and didn't are and don't know if I had just grown past it or the movies were that bad. But I'll probably watch a Netflix series.

I read all 7 (?) books and like I don't remember much beyond general themes and stuff. I mean, I'm not an obsessed fan or anything. I read them once and enjoyed them at a time in my life when I was impressionable and stuff left an impact. So like, I tried to watch the movies and they were boring but I wasn't mad. So I'll try and watch the Netflix and if it sucks ah well. But I'll give it a chance before some other random thing I have no nostalgic attachment to.

So far, I really like Wesley Cole on Lethal Weapon. He can still kick rear end if he has to, but I'm really impressed by an "action hero" sort of character who thinks outside the box and tries to solve problems without violence first. The second episode has Murtaugh bristling while adapting to Cole's unorthodox style, but the writers were wise to not make him Riggs 2.0. While Riggs was a loose cannon who always went into a situation with guns blazing, hoping things would work themselves out later, Cole always tries to find a different, more peaceful path (almost making Murtaugh seem like the unstable "lethal weapon" by comparison). It's an interesting characterization, one that reminds me a bit of Dale Cooper in Season 1 of Twin Peaks. You think the FBI agent coming to a small town to solve a murder is going to be a condescending dick to the local police, but instead he's very respectful of their methods and familiarity with the local customs, and he befriends all the cops and ingratiates himself into the town itself. Plus, he exhibits an almost "feminine" investigatory nature -- he tests out theories that come to him in dreams, he's insightful enough to figure out who is having affairs with who, etc. After a decade of macho action heroes like Schwarzenegger and Stallone characters (and Riggs from Lethal Weapon), Cooper was a much more sensitive, empathetic hero. And Cole, with his PTSD and hesitance to engage in overt acts of police-sanctioned violence, reminds me of that. Plus, he just wants his kid back!

Yeah SWS is good and season 3 of LW is good so far. Shame it's apparently likely to end now after the 13 episodes. Well i'll enjoy the weekly buddy cop mini action movie while it lasts.

The Silver Chair was always my favourite growing up, though I think there's a good case to be made for the first half or so of The Magician's Apprentice being the best. Dollars to donuts they're not going to adapt the part where the money obsessed dwarves can't get into heaven because they're

Silver Chair was my favorite (Puddleglum was the best until I met Hitchhiker's Guide's Marvin years later), followed by Dawn Treader because the trope of traveling to all kinds of fantasy islands was extremely my poo poo when I was a kid. Magician's Nephew was pretty great too and would be rad to see with modern effects. Last Battle was too religiousy. Lion was okay but overdone, I've read and seen it too much. Prince Caspian was meh, and I only read Horse and His Boy once before somehow losing that book out of my mother's fancy boxed set. I'm annoyed at the prospect of yet another Lion remake but if they actually get around to the rest of the series I'm in for nostalgia. Also damnit I cancelled hulu months ago after watching Futureman, Xfiles S10 and Runaways, telling them I had too many subscription services. But every time I look for an interesting series such as 12 Monkeys its only on hulu. I guess they win.

end the thirteenth episode with Clane Crawford as Riggs waking up from a 5 month long coma, the whole first 13 episodes were a dream, Murtaugh was the one who actually died, and he's now partnered up with an even more straight-laced agent played by Jason Biggs.

If you were going to recast Murtaugh, you should get Shemar Moore, but he's already the lead on another show (which I have not seen - I think it's also an action movie adaptation, though).

I'm surprised people still watch Lethal Weapon considering it was pretty bad after the first episode. No surprise the cast quit or whatever. Riggs is supposed to be the outlier, the crazy dude in a sane world, but the show was so nonsensical that Riggs was just another leaf in the whirlwind. Some shows are dumb fun (The Last Ship or 911) but some shows treat the audience like dummies and that's LW.

Clayne Crawford said it his post interview they did Riggs as up and down and not full cray cray because it works in a 2 hour movie, but you can't have him at max cookoo for a whole season, you have nowhjere to go.

pahuyuth posted:I loved Rubicon! It was a slow burner for sure but by the end I really liked how it came together. At least I think I did.. I may just be remembering it in a better light. I remember it not coming together very well. For example, there was that widow character who had a fair bit of screentime and then is killed in the finale having achieved almost nothing. In general, it was obvious that the original showrunner had been let go after the pilot and they made a different show afterwards which didn't entirely make sense when considering how it started.

When I watched Criminal Minds (which I did for a few years), Shemar Moore was my favourite. I don't know what he's like in real life and I haven't really seen him in anything else but he just came across as such a fundamentally decent guy on that show, at least from my recollection.
