also liked Village on a Diet where a food therapist/trainer tries to help the 'fattest town' in the Yukon lose weight I learned all about food deserts, and how obesity and early kids can make twentysomethings look way past 40

Durf posted:besides the usual conclusions of giving up and finding their parents dead in their heaps, the hardest were the stories of people growing up desperately trying to keep their own spaces clean, knowing the instant the parents found out they'd be like OHHH! MORE SPACE! and fill their bedroom with random crap. Then turn around and blame them for being messy. fuuuuuuuuuuuuck I did this. my room was spotless and the rest of the house was caked in cat residue and garbage. one of my formative memories is one of my friends saying I smelled like rotting cat piss all the time. i had no idea. basically left as soon as I turned 16. I ain’t never gonna go on that subreddit or watch that show. anyway watched a red letter media review on who framed roger rabbit, which prompted a rewatch of the movie. was surprised and delighted at how pro-public transportation and anti-freeway the movie was, as well as its generally positive depiction of working class joes. verdict: not socialist but at least class conscious

new westworld season opened up with a wet fart I have a vague sense of where the show is going to end up based off the original movie and there are hints of it in episode 1 but it's gonna be a dragrace of spinning wheels to get there it seems

I'd rather have a show with a well-executed twist that the internet somehow already figured out than a show that is adversarial to the audience on purpose, especially because I don't religiously follow subreddits for shows I watch (I just, you know, watch the show for its own sake)

I binge-watched Doctor Who Season 13 (aka Flux) recently and it was much better than the other Chibnall episodes I've seen. It was very stupid, but in a good TV stupid way, like Stargate or the big Voyager episodes. What I appreciated most about it is that Whitaker would constantly do the Moffat-era scolding routines, but she's always so deep in over her head that the bad guys instantly recognize she has no leverage or authority and just straight up ignore her. It's like if in Hell Bent nobody went to meet the Doctor in his barn when he tried his hissy fit silent treatment tactic. It's a really good change of pace, and it made the last episode where she finally does get the upper hand much more satisfying (even if it's

My ex's mom watched the finale with us after not watching any of the preceding episodes or seasons and complained that it was a bad ending because they were dead the whole time and that they had "guessed" that ending when the show first started. There was something around that time in TV when people would only tune into the show finale even if they didn't watch the show. Everyone wanted to be part of the spectacle. TV prior to streaming was wild. I remember our high school biology teacher brought in the last episode of Everybody Loves Raymond on VHS for us all to watch when it aired the night prior. No one in the class watched that show.

I didn't even know The Walking Dead was still running. Did they end up writing more stuff beyond the end of the comics, or did they just drag out the conclusion?

The comics are over? I feel like zombies are tapped out, but Hollywood keeps churning out content.

What theory was that? I don't remember that. I felt like pretty much everything got tied up except for whatever was going on with Starbuck by the end of the show. It did seem inevitable that they'd all turn out to be the ancestors of humanity.

Haven't watched it in forever but I think it's roughly ending in the same place, minus most of the main characters as the members of the cast left.

Laterite posted:lol that RDM was endlessly frustrated with the constraints around writing for trek and then when he finally gets his own project completely shits the bed 2/3 of the way through to the end I just went through BSG again and it's apparent that both Starbuck's rebirth and the Final Five Cylon arc were too big as narrative concepts for the show's weight to support in a season. The god's intended destiny idea works much better when that idea is just expressed through Baltar, Roslin, and Hera's storylines. Lost had the opposite problem since by Season 6 it had shedded most of its narrative dead weight. But since they didn't have anything close to the budget to go into stuff like what the hell the Egyptians were doing on the Island and made a conscious decision to only touch the broad strokes of Jacob and the Man in Black's origins, all they had was character wrapup which was fine for the flash-sideways but left too much dead air for the actual final arc on the Island.
