It's still good and worth a watch if you enjoy the games, but that decision doesn't make a lot of sense and seems petty to me.

From early reviews it sounds like the arbitrary/unrealistic nature of the factions is, allegedly, part of the point. Whether that point is actually worth making, who knows. It kind of sounds like the movie equivalent of a decent-enough news article that gets a distractingly clickbaity headline slapped on it.

Garland is also giving quotes about how the movie's message is that the left and right just need to learn to talk to each other and get along:

Ah yes, third option centrism. That's the correct answer to a civil war.

How dare people adopt morality on whether certain minority groups should be accepted or shot.

Been watching a lovely series on Netflix called The Last Word. It's a comedy entirely about death, focussing on a loose cannon, plays-by-her-own-rules...eulogist. Highly recommend.

After reading that Alex Garland quote I wondered why we would expect such a profoundly stupid person to have any valuable insight into anything, and then I remembered we were talking about the Civil War movie and we don't.

Lower Decks got cancelled

Strange New Worlds picked up for Season 4

There seems to be a trend lately of not announcing cancellations but rather just saying "This upcoming season is the last one"

5 seasons is respectable. Not everything needs to last so long it becomes a husk of it's original premise.

The premise of making fun of Star Trek provides a real deep well to draw from, so they probably could have gone a few more seasons without getting stale. But yeah, 5 seasons is a fine run.

Definitely surprising considering how long cartoons usually run. That leaves a single star trek left for the buyers of paramount to eventually dump and then go full tilt into the next reboot of the IP.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I had Fallout on yesterday and it played the whole season, but it lost my attention after a couple episodes, so I was kinda half-watching the rest of it. The atmosphere of the show was cool, but the writing and characters did nothing for me.

i would say that yeah some of the more interesting stuff is back-loaded. i could post some spoilery things if people want em?

I do agree with some stuff seeming like Todd having some petty vengeance but I dunno, we'll see where they go with it in s2 i guess?

They're going to visit New Vegas in season 2 and unless they want to rehash that game's central theme of greed I really don't know what they plan to do with the place.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon hasn't licensed the New Vegas part of the property. When amazon made the Harry Bosch series the Lincoln Lawyer part was cut out and licensed to....*check note" Netflix separately.
