I honestly hope they don't do a Season 3. I liked the story, I don't think that they need to go back to the well for a third time.

I kind of agree, in that I didn't think S2 was really necessary, but at the same time I want to see Starlight Express (the most dangerous musical before Spiderman Turn On the Dark) mashed up with Newsies. fake edit: Jane Krakowski was famously in Starlight Express as the female character in the above image, I think a dining car? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDd3uhvQVHo angerbot fucked around with this message at 23:59 on May 4, 2023 |

That’s weird, the intro for Silo says it’s based on the book series also called Silo, but isn’t it called Wool?

Yeah just did some googling. Weird, I remember when it was announced there was a lot of people talking about the name being changed. Wonder if the Silo thing is relatively recent.

Silo first episode down and it immediately grabs your attention. I know the book series is good, but it really hooks you in the first half. Very well done so far. Acting, pacing, etc.

I think it makes sense to name a TV series after the book series rather than the first book though?

I absolutely loved Schmigadoon. Saying that, I don’t think I would like to see Josh and Mel again. They seem fulfilled as characters and I don’t want them to regress. It was wonderful seeing the characters flipped for S2. Kristen’s character was morally upstanding and cared about the future in s1, but in S2 was morally ambiguous and didn’t really care about the future (kids). Alan Cumming - Gentle, man-loving gent turns into a violent (potentially) man-hating gent. Dove - County Girl who loves her dad turns city girl who hates her dad. Aaron T - Loner who says he won’t settle down turns into groupie hippie who settles down. I would love to see Schmigadoon s3 but I feel it would have to be a road trip though many totally different musicals.

The stakes for Josh and Mel felt a lot more important in the first season, where their relationship was going poorly and they needed to figure out whether they were still in love, this time they were just a bit bored. I do hope that they get another season though as I like the characters.

The one thing that made me laugh was the prop department screwing up the paper note in episode 2. The second time you see it, it’s completely different to the first (I’d paused it to read it the first time, doesn’t even use the same words). Continuity! Posted in the right thread, this time.

I'm really liking Extrapolations so far. I'm 3 episodes in and it feels like a much better version of "Years and Years". As an aside, it occurs to me that "Years and Years" has aged unbelievably badly in almost every way.

Probably added the Silo bit when they decided on the name for the series.

Foundation Season 2 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogReJyWgkBU July 14th release. I had fun watching season 1, so i'll be checking it out. Looks like they increased the CGI budget by quite a bit.

Watched the first episode of Silo, I liked it. I kind of hope they eventually change from the books in later seasons, if they make it that far. While I liked a lot of the early books, the later ones I really didn't like, but I could see a good cast and acting making the story I didn't like there work.

Re: Foundation Jane Espenson's writing this season so I've got hope. She's a great writer and script doctor, who did a lot of (2 hours of) uncredited writing on the first season of Game Of Thrones and reworked the alien lady desert planet subplot last year.

Jane Espenson is good people from back when Buffy was on the air, so that gives me a little hope. I'm just a little tired of these expensive prestige shows where nothing happens during the first season.

Jane Espenson is one of those writers (amongst others like Marti Noxon) who you could argue was more of the "voice" behind Buffy than Joss.

Buffy and the X-files had a very good hit rate for producing good writers and showrunners. X-files hit it out of the park though with Vince Gilligan. Lost is a fairly close runner up.

Eh, LOST produced Carlton Cuse, Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz, and they've produced a lot of crap. The latter two, man, they showran Once Upon A Time. Jesus that show was mediocre. There were good ones, but a lot of them had already achieved decent success elsewhere (several on Buffy). But, still, credit to LOST for staffing well.

Before Lost Carlton Cuse created The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. That in my opinion was better than anything Damon Lindelof has done since Lost.

Yeah, Carlton Cuse's jam is shallow but fun shows to have on in the background. Colony, Locke and Key, the Strain and Bates Motel were all enjoyable for me.

What? Terminus is settled, Salvor Hardin is a character, and they’re in a war with their nearest neighbor, or at least an analogue of them. That’s like half-way through the book.

I really hate the ‘only one mechanic knows how this machine works’ trope and in this instance there’s a 125lbs woman who is the only one that can properly turn a wrench I guess? The 3rd ep has some stupid contrivances that ensures this person is the one who saves the day when literally anyone could have helped. I’ll keep watching since Barry and Succession are about done

Pretty sure the house from the most recent episode of Platonic, the divorce party location, was the same one from the very start of High Desert. For some reason I figured Platonic would have more impromtu energy to it, but outside the premier I get the sense that this is more script driven. It's funny, I like it, but I probably won't remember much about it in a year or two -- particularly because this is an eight episode miniseries. But I'm a hard sell on comedies.

Can’t be bothered to check out the dedicated thread because it’s probably full of *shudder* sci-fi people but Silo is real good stuff. Platonic is very enjoyable and High Desert is pretty darn mediocre
