honestly i know people are hating in this thread but i think that's just "star wars fan brain." they want the pretty laser sword and the dark evil man. the picard series isnt afraid to challenge norms and upend the standards of fiction, to ultimately satisfying degrees. if you're a star trek fan (or probably moreso, even if not!) you OWE it to yourself to watch "Picard." And I wouldn't be surprised if there's points where you're coming back at me saying "hey I just watched season 1 episode 6 and this didn't make sense," or "I watched season 2 episode 4 and it was stupid," but seriously trust me, i promise you, by the last episode of season 2 you will understand it all, and it will be the greatest thing you've ever watched.

I watched the first season and it was Mass Star Treck Effect, but lots of member berries scattered throughout. In conclusion, it was poo poo.

Disco is also poo poo. Star War TV gargles balls.

First ep of SNW made little sense but at least it is back to forehead alien of the week format.

Below Decks is great.

give S2 a chance, watch it the whole way through tbh. i had my own doubts early on but by the end it somehow manages to solve every issue i had with S2 and S1. A triumph.

Watching the animated Gunpowder getting beaten to a pulp by Soldier Boy kinda makes what Butcher did to him ten times worse.

Imagine having that background and then suddenly the guy who's been stalking you turns out to have Soldier-Boy level superpowers, and proceeds to cave your face in.

To quote Butcher (which we see more and more is true for him as well):

It don't change who you are.

Picard s2 had all my favorite Trek stuff (Borg, mirror universe, Q) but for some reason the writers thought I would want to delve into JL's mommy psychodrama. Like he's already got a brother he's semi-estranged from who was nowhere, come on.

I am deeply sorry for this derail that resulted in this steaming hot poo poo of a take ending up in this thread.

I'll check out SNW and Below Decks if Disco/Picard haters aren't hating them but I'm not huge on a Family Guy esque take on Star Trek, if I want that I can watch the first half of The Orville's first season.

As for The Boys, I've legit enjoyed this season, there seems to be an abundance of watchers in this thread looking for more than there is though. It's a good schlocky "what if Superheroes were a capitalist product" vehicle for parody allegories on current events with the tongue firmly planted in cheek. I loving love it.

SNW and Lower Decks are both really good and worth your time.

I’m still waiting for Homelander to just go ‘gently caress it’ and wipe like Minnesota or some small island nation off the map.

after this disappointing turn for the season in the last episode (i know i'm in the minority on that), the way they'd get me back for s4 is just

'the boys' text on screen, screams+sirens etc

annie saying on the phone to hughie 'we need to hide. he's gone nuclear'

something about millions dead, homelander is taking a break on the moon, there is no more sheesh should we really be doing all this?

or something to that effect, and then for s4 episode 1 to actually be that, and have all of this awfulness finally come to it's inevitable crescendo

if it's a season of homelander being depowered and humiliated before inevitably getting repowered and THEN doing that finale part, i don't need to see any more. let's not drag this evil superman saga out much more, the seams are getting worn down at this point.

Almost every storyline where Professor X regains the ability to walk has him turning into a massive rear end in a top hat narcissist because it turns out; he is a massive narcissistic rear end in a top hat but he just hides it better when he can't walk and actually needs to rely on other people to help him do poo poo.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
They really messed up not having Picard be a procedural where he solves a series of cozy space mysteries while seeing old friends and visiting places from his past.

There was a whole-rear end conversation about how Edgar thought it was a terrible idea and wanted out of the hero game in general, yes. The plot arc resolved, as plot arcs tend to.

two guys talking in a room about how something is a bad idea isn't a resolution, it's 'eh, forget that idea'.

it was homelander's whole deal in s1. i forgot this is kind of why i thought they hosed him up by dropping all of that for the stormfront stuff in s2. just feels like they don't really know where they're going from season to season.

The "supes in the army" plotline resulted in the invention of temp V. It's a major part of the plot.

That's why Edgar says Vought is a pharmaceutical company not a Super Hero company. He never wanted Supes in the military. It's better business for Vought to keep selling Temp V (if they ever get it right) repeatedly to the government.

I assumed that it was hyped up to scare people into accepting Supes despite the whole Compound V thing being found out along with militarizing them. The fact that the "super terrorists" are actually of no threat is intentional.
