If you want to know what to actually expect from the show the trailer does a decent job of it IMO but in short she's a jewish new york housewife in the 50s/60s who discovers she has a talent for stand-up after her husband leaves her and she gets drunk and does an open-mic night at a local club https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOmwkTrW4OQ

They probably were really weird about sex, but teens weren't being raised in absolute ignorance of it. And I imagine puritanical ideas of sexuality just made everything way worse

watching a bunch of nathan for you, and the quality just drops hard tricking idiot morning shows is fantastic, but the later episodes are so incredibly badly directed/cut. a second unit director would be ashamed of this. its supposed to look like a documentary, but all dialogues are shot cross whatever its called, over the shoulder. bring back whoever ran the first season, that was real well done. e: okay i put on a season one episode & its cut the same way. so i dont know what the exact problem is with the later ones, but the earlier ones are just better made.

Watched the new Halo show, and while it's a decent adaption of the game, they do the unforgivable and have Master Chief take off his helmet. That's just... no. I was kinda pissed they didn't get the voice actor from the game for John. I was pleasantly surprised at the plasma gun making random people go splat though. I'm not holding out much hope for the show, but I'll give it more than a single episode before I consider it flaming garbage. Was also not expecting the giant space vagina in the season opener of Picard either. Finally got to watch the first episode today and boy that's... not at all a subtle design.

I've never played Halo so I don't know anything about the story/lore but it seems okay. I'll probably enjoy it, especially when they get to the ringworld (?) because I've been dying to see that concept portrayed in a high budget show. Hopefully they do the sense of scale justice. I did roll my eyes hard when they went first person pov. It's a video game, get it?

All this victorian sex chat started off with someone mentioning Bridgerton. Is it maybe worth bringing up that Bridgerton isnt actually set during the victorian era at all, but the earlier Georgian era/regency period?

I've only played the first Halo... maybe the second. Isn't it a big reveal at the end of the first one, or the second, or maybe loving the third or eleventh that Master Chief is in fact a robot? That is also a plot twist in Bungie's earlier game Marathon.

John 117 aka the Master Chief has an established backstory that the games don't really go into, which it looks like the show is. Basically he and a bunch of other kids were kidnapped by the UNSC where they were experimented on to turn them into super soldiers. All the Spartans who made it out of the program were highly effective soldiers but the process was so dangerous and time consuming (and completely unethical) that they stopped after the first batch.

No no no, they never stopped doing the Spartan experiments, they just changed the method. The first generation was adult volunteers from the military. Gen two was kidnapped kids put under massive amounts of genetic, surgical, and mental procedures to make them huge super soldiers. Third gen was also children, but with less dangerous procedures, because they were meant to be thrown into battle to fight and die in massive numbers. The fourth generation went back to using adult volunteers.

The Precursors are older and basically tentacle-mouthed Chtulhu types, the Forerunners came after and are humanoid, the Ancestors are the humans that had a major foothold in the galaxy ~150K years ago Really getting to the bottom of the barrel on the "those who came before" naming convention

In Aladdin, the first time he meets Jafar as Prince Ali, Jafar calls him "Prince Abubu." Now, even six year old me recognized that Jafar was immediately suspicious of Aladdin and was trying to trip him up by getting him to respond to the wrong name But then he keeps calling him that, even when he's alone or talking to Iago So What the gently caress

I always saw it as a sign of disrespect ‘you’re not important enough for me to remember your name’ then it just became what Jafar called him because he didn’t like him

Yeah he only realizes this guy in front of him is Aladdin when he sees the lamp on him, after he is confronted for trying to hypnotize the Sultan (holy poo poo how do I remember the scene so vividly)

Looking into it further, "Prince Abubu" would basically mean "Prince Daddy #1" not sure how to feel about this, i would like to be corrected

even as a kid I thought there was some poo poo going on in the palace if Jafar could get the loving guards to kidnap, chain up, and throw a visiting prince into water to drown. Like you would expect Aladdin to say something about that poo poo. It ain't a good sign if the guards, who weren't hypnotized and in fact seemed pretty loving happy, to kill a prince just because the creepy royal vizier said to. That at least means that the guards don't listen to the Sultan or respect him. They do the man who signs their paychecks. Littlefinger was right.

Jafar was a Boomer and the height of comedy for boomers is 'gets your name wrong'. It's the Obongo/Drumph/Killary flavor of comedy.

Captain Monkey posted:Jafar was a Boomer and the height of comedy for boomers is 'gets your name wrong'. It's the Obongo/Drumph/Killary flavor of comedy. Jafar is that weird mixture of totally lame and really loving rad that is extremely common in Disney villains. On the one hand, he is competent, dedicated and looks awesome. As mentioned above, he commands the guards and has to work around a manchild who barely seems potty trained. On the other hand, he is a boomer and he is extremely vain and self-absorbed, which he kind of earned by always being the most competent and best-dressed guy in the room. The only thing I will hold against him is that he turns into a sex creep around Jasmine.
