Open Source Idiom posted:Which ones are you thinking of? I figure that Dana and Rachel are being kept largely apart as a set up to them having the focus episode this season. They were the primary ones I was thinking of, but I don't feel like they actually know what to do with Ian's character this season either. It just feels like he's much less of a driving force in any of the storylines, and I think the show is worse off for it. More generally, though, it feels like they've split the cast off into a bunch of arcs that center around pairs of people doing their own thing. None of those storylines have much in the way of interesting stakes, and now that I think about it most of them have "character doesn't know what they're doing" as their central conflict. Maybe they'll all congeal into something more interesting story-wise that allows for more ensemble scenes as the season goes on, though?

The biggest problem with MQ is that its highs are really high and its lows are really low. It's sorta been that way since the beginning. I think I'm willing to enjoy it because it's about something I care about and reminds me of some of my old work days without ultimately taking horrible trope routes that Big Bang Theory and Silicon Valley took. It still taps the occasional horrible trope but it's done in service of a message instead of service of something to disparage.

Yeah I agree. It’s not a favourite of mine but it’s a very enjoyable watch. My mum, however, absolutely loves it.

Slow Horses gives me Bosch vibes, in the best way. Nothing transcendant but just really, really well crafted. Both have a knack for knowing where to adapt, where to cut, and where to leave well enough alone with the original sources.

They brought it up again at the end, and used it as a running gag to hold a subplot together, so it stood out to me a bit more I guess. It's bad, but yeah it's not The Worst. It's not great though, but that was true of the entire episode tbh.

I can't believe Shantaram was supposed to be more than 1 season, but anyways a Prabhu getting into daily hijinks or Alexander Siddig spinoff with the ladies and thugs might be better.

Was it established somewhere that Ian created Sarian before Poppy mentions it at the end of the episode? Because up to then I wasn't sure how their stories connected since I don't think there was any point in the ep where Ian was messing with game creation software.

It’s the name of the fake planet he invents instead of doing his Saturn project e: correction, it’s initially called Tartarus, but he changes it. it’s mentioned in the scene where he’s trying to show it to his bed-ridden mom Escobarbarian fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Dec 19, 2022 |

Just started For All Mankind and I have to say they are being oddly even handed with Werner Von Braun. It is alternate history so hopefully at some point a bunch concentration camp survivors shove a bunch of rockets up his rear end and fly him into the sun.

Does anyone know if this poster is legit? I looked around the other night and couldn’t see any official source putting it out so gut feeling is a fan image someone has stuck an Apple logo on. Good job regardless, that’s some effort. https://twitter.com/discorddystopia/status/1603610754770292736?s=46&t=KRh0xG7TFlpgUZe6snaSug

Thanks for the source, some cool images there! Sometimes the spidey senses go off and it just didn’t feel legit (ie ‘coming soon’ for something that probably hasn’t shot a frame yet).

Man, it's really weird how Mythic Quest keeps oscillating from mild natured office comedy about wacky personalities, to genuine heartfelt gut-punches about broken people. Charlotte Nicdao is really good at playing Poppy.

Aparently, Burch directed that, which explains why Rachel was 't around this episode. Really cool. Basically all of the cast have some form of writing or directing credit. I wonder how much Charlie Day is actually involved.

Overall the Mythic Quest finale was ok and I thought the Dana side was very promising but jesus the way the Ian/Poppy stuff ended up was almost an insult and just made their entire storyline this season a pointless waste of time. Plus lmao @ the movie just getting cancelled between episodes for reasons never stated before in the season
