OK, I like the direction Schmigadoon is going, I don't know if it's my own love for this number but A Little Priest, mixed with Annie and the clear Sweet Charity mix in Topher's song makes more sense, it's not just pastiche but it's mixing musicals/main characters for plot reasons, it does make sense,I was wrong.

What an absolutely insane number. I kind of bounced off S1, but S2 has been very fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd4B0nIuaTc

Catching up on Big Door Prize and it's really clicking for me, despite it being clear that we're not heading to Needful Things style chaos any time soon. It's decently funny, has some strong performances. It's also very loving sweet and wholesome; I loved the swinger girlfriend from the fifth episode talking about how jealous she gets when her husband spends time taking pictures of trees. (Also Emily Topper was very, very funny in the role.) Thinking about the idea of "potential", and wondering whether everyone in town's got it wrong. The general vibe the cast seem to be going with is that the card describes a person's potential from the moment they get their card, when it seems more like it's their potential full stop. So the coach is, ironically, the most successful of everyone, and a lot of other people have just missed the boat. I also really like the weirdness of the setting, e.g. the local mascot being a hoof rather than a deer, complete with awful hoof based mascot costume. tbh I wish they'd lean into the goofiness even further. Not particularly interested in all the myth arc stuff though, though that's pretty much only the blue marks subplot. This stuff always strikes me as too arbitrary to hang a plot on. Kudos to the goon who called the Liar card, btw, though it turns out I called a lot of the poo poo with the Giogrio character -- though in retrospect I really could have called that hair.

I wish Big Door Prize would lean a little more into the cards not actually making anyone happy. But the trailer for the show hints at there being more substance in the later episodes.

Solid ending for Extrapolations. The ideas they presented had some truth to them, but some of it was a bit too optimistic. I can't get over how weird they made Jon Snow look, but I like how he was in Ep 1 and has been just in the background the entire season. He's super old now and I guess they have de-aging, or a way to stop aging, technology worked out? Kind of interesting with all the recent news about billionaires funding that kind of technology. The E-Judges thing was hilarious. I guess in the future we'll choose our judges like we choose our browsers.

Finally got around to watching the finale for Extrapolations, and they mostly nailed it. I did appreciate the callbacks to previous episodes, it reminded me of the finale for the 90s reboot of The Outer Limits. I did laugh that the penalty for Ecocide is being launched into orbit to live out your days in a temperature controlled environment.

Started watching Extrapolations, that is some heavy poo poo. I'm sure I'll get the 'lacking a narrative throughline' that's repeated in the reviews that are actually worth a drat, but we really enjoyed it so far.

When I just concentrate on the football storyline and skip the characters I don't care about, then Ted Lasso really has a good thing going for it this season.

Bad At Watching Television Alert for Ep9 of Extrapolations, spoilered for those that have just started it. What happened between the last two scenes? Fade out as Whitaker and Cotillard kiss as the NYE fireworks go off, then fade in on the following morning with the maid scrubbing the carpet before she grabs Whitaker's coat (and DNA) and scoots out to the pickup to filch his place in the upload. What happened between the kiss and the scrubbing? I am assuming the maid moiderised the couple so they wouldn't be able to protest/stop the theft of Whitaker's LifePause place? But if so then why bother with the scrubbing... it's not like there were any witnesses or any need to clean up a crime scene. (The artificial kid doesn't count, it was Put To Sleep.)

I dunno, that's kind of a tough one and just bad exposition. I think that as Anna is looking out the window, she sees the LifePause vehicle pull up and sees an opportunity to get out of a lovely life. The entire time she's seeing this couple with a great life that shes clearly jealous of and hers isn't going well (in debt, everyone she knows is dead, etc) and just leaps at it. Then she declines the tip because with that LifePause service, you don't need money. With this great life, why would they be leaving? What's really confusing is that she didn't know who it was there for, but assumes its the guy, takes the big male jacket and goes at it. She was never privy to the conversation about it, she even leaves the room when the announcement is made, but I guess she could have just eavesdropped to figure it out. But it's honestly just not explained well. I think they cut some scenes or something, because she says there the entire night too, instead of leaving when she could have.

Yeah, Extrapolations was somewhat frustrating - it's so painfully earnest and concerned with making the point that It tips over into insipidness far too often. For example, Ep10: this is absolutely germane to the plot and situation so it's not just nitpicking: the known fact that the prosecutor's partner (the singer) was a vocal critic of Bilton and had also been known to have been murdered (but not by whom, or why, at that point) - would that on its face not have disqualified that particular prosecutor? A recusal would surely have been called for. And the real question w.r.t. the show is, was that a scathing satirical commentary on RoboJustice 2060, or just inept plotting? It's so confused you can't even tell. Don't even get me started on that tasteless scene of Sienna Miller's death. I said before but I think it works best when it's less direct, as we see people coping with the cascading chaos effects; remember the point of Jurassic Park - and the hidden reason why only the first movie out of six is actually any good - was not actually woo dinosaurs! but the downstream effects of perturbations in the system. You do like a Glengarry thing, where the sales lead is who gets the franchise for the automated machine gun turrets at the border. You do a cod version of the Wannsee Conference, that sort of thing. You can have these ideas for free, Tim Apple. loving sick of Oh He Was A Hologram All Along, they must have thought they were really clever with that reveal the three dozen times they did it, it seemed.

the Amsterdam one had some good stuff but also some real poo poo and this season has been shockingly misogynist with the Rebecca and Keely storylines, Rebecca is all about her being obsessed with boys and babies and Keely’s is about her being a bad business owner who makes poor decisions and then getting a new love interest, poo poo’s embarrassing

Season 3 could easily be set in an opera house of immense size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBi96MtEXqg Season 2 was good, but honestly it didn't have the heart of season 1. I enjoyed it, and it was technically very good in some places but it didn't wow me. Also my girl Peppermint wasn't in it.

I thought season 2 was ok, they obviously put a lot of work into it, but it relied a lot more on the audience knowing and liking musicals.
