I was pissed enough that they canceled it so that Rogers couldnt finish the story and they go and pull some straight up BS to essentially eliminate it from existence?

Dont get me wrong, from a financial aspect I can appreciate this move, its a property that has probably largely made all the money its ever going to make so if they get a write-off for it, it makes sense....if you dont GAF at all about the property.

But...have some goddamned integrity.

People worked on this, they poured their heart and souls into this and you are going to flush that all away for some infinitesimally negligible blip in your stock price?

Boo-urns I say!

Accountants are hard at work to replace lawyers as most hated profession.

I know you like public services, but how much do you pay in taxes?

How much do you like the guy who helps you pay even less than that?

Regardless how you feel about the shows, how amazing is it we have a Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars show running concurrently?

It's a great time for genre fans.

Just realized the actress who played the nerdy kid in Ghostbusters Afterlife also plays one of the handmaids in the current season if The Handmaid's Tale.

Just finished the 3 seasons of Barry. So good. Knew there was dark comedy but wasn't expecting it to be so laugh out loud funny at times.

Funny the season 3 sub plot about a show being cancelled from streaming seemed a bit ridiculous at the time but is now prophetic.

Star Trek too, with Lower Decks.

We watched The Rookie spin-off show Feds last night and I thought it was good. I feel like you like The Rookie, you would like this show (not surprising). Wasn't sure if the lead actress would be good or get grating but so far so good.

Correct. I just watched the DS9 episode, and It may have catapulted LD to the top of my favourite Treks.

Just got caught up on The Rookie

Not an amazing cop show but I really enjoy it. Worth it for Nathan Fillion's charisma alone, like everything he does, but solid on it's own merits as well

She's still locked up in Stephano's basement at Masion Blache because she's possessed by the devil and is waiting for John to do an exorcism.

General Hospital for me. Back in the glory days with Scoripio and Anna, Luke and Laura, Frisco and Felicia, Tony and Tania (and Bobbie), their daughter BJ...

It was weird, I was a kid and the show (at the time) had a lot of spy stuff which sucked me in at first, then next thing I knew I was like every day waiting to find out what was happening next lol.

Anybody watching Interview with a Vampire?

Is this a soap opera or are they actually doing the books and respecting the 1st movies "feel"?

I really don't want to watch it if it's going to eff up what I have in my head from the books or play more like like Queen of the damned vs. Interview (God bless Alyah, she almost saved that movie from Stuart Townsend)


I guess my question is, is it more like Interview with a Vampire or Queen of the Damned?

I'm also super choked they never got around to making Lestadt. Which should have been made (as a movie)

I watched the first episode and it seems like its well made. Its interesting.

But I have no background knowledge. Didnt read the books, nothing, just along for the ride.

Its very artistic, which can be good at times but can also go off the rails fairly quickly.

As for soaps. It's Another World and nothing else. What bad T.V soaps are.
