Man, I had hopes since this was the second production run they would work the kinks out but this was the worst season yet.

I think the least sensical scene was where the archduchess and Odval go to see if the King has died. And they want him to die, and the archduchess even picks up a pike to do it herself. Odval says it would endanger their souls, but the archduchess says she doesn't care. Then Zog starts groaning and they go "Maybe he's getting better?" and tell the guard to watch him closely and leave. Why doesn't she kill him?

Bean vs. the revolving door was a good gag That was it I think for the season. Got that one good gag.

Something interrupts the wedding, and for some reason that means the wedding is cancelled.

Polo-Rican posted:isn't there a scene later on where they exchange rings and the weight of the ring makes her fall to the ground? and a scene later where he introduces her to Zog as his wife, and Zog is excited because "he always wanted tiny grandchildren" or something? I think these are both before the wedding.

This whole show was a thundering disappointment. I can't believe it leaned even further into its worst tendencies in this latest run.

Breakfast All Day posted:Judging by this thread I probably liked the first season more than just about anyone, but couldn't even finish an episode of this one. It's weird to feel like you simultaneously have more attention budget for the show than the show does for itself and don't care enough about what's happening to follow. My only thought was wondering if it's better or worse than current Simpsons. ooo, that is a tough one. I'm leaning toward worse than current Simpsons actually. Current Simpsons at least tries to tell jokes and is not serialized (although there are an increasing number of 2-parters).

Calaveron posted:This show should totally have been Fantasirama, and you can tell they sorta tried to do it some times but would always go back to the well of lovely storytelling and overarching plot and mystery boxes. Yeah 100%. They had a good idea and made a good sandbox to play around in and squandered it.

OldMemes posted:Zog feels like the character with the most development aside from Bean. She doesn't have a lot of motivation. Too busy running from one emergency to the next or caught up in conspiracies that are never explained.

Taear posted:Yea new Futurama is atrocious New Futurama is aggressively bland. Netflix must reallllllllly want to be the first people Groening calls with his next TV idea, because there is no reason to have let this go on past the first ordered run of 2 seasons.

Almost done with this season and it gets worse as it goes. Almost entirely "and then this happened and then that happened" storytelling. It's exhausting and you don't give two shits because you can see all the strings.

Dagmar just allowing a rebel faction to live unperturbed in the castle is maybe the least sensical plot point of the last season. At one point early on she and Elfo have a confrontation in the throne room and he just walks out and closes the door behind him and then has like a whole 2 minute conversation with all his buds right on the other side of the door. Like, open the door and kill him, lady. Why do you seem to care so little about your evil plan? You've enlisted literally Satan in it, and you just kinda twiddle your thumbs for most of the season.
