Well the 6 part series 'The Flux' has now concluded. What a bunch of horseshit THAT was. Chinballs through plot after plot after plot into a pot and then once it started to boil over he decided to add more plot. And none of it was good. The only redeeming feature was the one episode where...

I forgot she was Vi too. Hawkeye, Spiderverse and Arcane...she is really having a moment.

The whole seven rings bit was just stupid. Even seeing a single ring would be proof enough that this fucknut is likely to kill you and thus you are free to eradicate the bitch. Not to mention the myriad of defensive weaves that anyone raised to a full shawl should know and use whenever they...

It's the whole patrician class of professional board members who exist solely to make sure they stay on top of the pecking order. There's not a goddamn CEO or board member on this planet that is actually worth a damn...they know if they start turning on each other it's only a matter of time...

What kinda Snidley Whiplash bullshit is this?

That seems likely. There's so much story fail throughout the last couple of expansions that it makes sense that it came down to dick waving creatives. Ultimately there is no redemption for Sylvanas at this point. At best she tried to kill all the Night Elves in order to 'stop death', at worst...

In the 1940s they only had a rudimentary concept of faster than light travel so Asimov wisely chose to just ignore details like that most of the time. There were no ideas about jump-ships, most of that sort of notion only comes about in fiction after people are savvy enough to realize what a...

After 5 of 6 parts of the Flux I still have no bloody idea what's going on. It feels like a JJ Abrams Mystery Box on steroids what with all the new characters and coy references to things that are literally impossible to know since they are technically foreshadowing. This whole thing feels...

I was just wondering what their whole plan was at that point. For people allegedly traveling hard to reach the White Tower they seem to have settled down with extremely elaborate tents etc. They even mentioned shielding Logain in shifts of two at a time and had clearly gone through all 6...

If it has to tie back to something I'd actually prefer it did not involve something we've already seen. Too much of Federation history is dominated by Enterprise / Voyager / DS9 as is.

Or just making incredibly poor choices when they adapt an idea. I'm positive any number of people on this forum alone could take every art asset, dungeon layout, and system used in Shadowlands and craft a better overall story / lore than what was done.

Decent season. Ended the series on a surprisingly uplifting note. Glad they brought back Nguyen for a couple bits.

Well episode 4 was much better. It's still not anywhere near Expanse or Arcane etc., But it's better than the LARP recruiting video from the previous episodes. The audience is meant to think 'hey maybe Nynaeve is the Dragon', but it's just to reinforce that she's just a fuckton stronger with...

Yeah she is definitely having a moment right now...

That musical number was delightfully cringe.

Watched first two episodes. Guessing each episode is a day since it's 6 days to Xmas in the first episode. Entertaining enough so far. Did not notice/recall that Vera Farmiga is in It and she's always fun to have around. Kate Bishop is a fun character, no complaints so far.

Quite possible, but anamorphic widescreen is 2.39:1, which is effectively the same and yet just a bit different enough that I was reminded about the discussion above of mobile media as a default platform. Certainly their goal is to achieve art regardless.

Random thought I had -- The series is in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio which means its actually more native on a horizontal landscape phone than it is a traditional 4K TV

Mat, Perrin and Rand aren't exactly lookers either..

This just killed me. The fact that they got him to do this and then didn't say a fucking thing until the episode was released is...*chef's kiss* I have now resorted to extortion to get people to watch this. So far its been rather successful as I just got a phone call from a friend who is...

In this case I am perfectly fine with them taking however long they need to. I would be very happy if it was next year, but this is goddamn art and it needs to take as long as it needs to take.

How does the darkfriend innkeeper chick know about them, especially the "5" of them? Do the Forsaken have a listserv they run? I may be remembering things wrong, but didn't the Three Oaths predate Artur's siege of Tar Valon? The 'y'all must be using the One Power for bleach' insane degree...

I tried to watch this, but the cringe was far too powerful. How the fuck is this in the Top 10 for the USA and Arcane isn't? I do not care for this timeline.

After seeing Arcane Act 3 I am actively angry at how much this show has cost given what they've done. Did everyone get extra daily cocaine?

Ahh binged all three episodes of Act 3 this AM. Very pleased with how everything was resolved. Additional spoiler comments:

Ruined King is pretty decent. I'm having fun with it

Well that's a very valid point. The Shadowlands are a silly broken thing. I had actually hoped the Jailer would prove to be the hero of the piece and in breaking the Shadowlands provide a better overall universe.

Uther as a choice would work, but it falls even further into the "this is just Warcraft III fanfic" that has sadly dominated the game since its release nearly 20 years ago. Azeroth already has too much influence in the 'universe' and you run the very real risk that everything goes full...

Reading Sanderson's comments helps bring some things into focus vis-a-vis the changes they made. The 'dragon reborn could be a woman' is by far the silliest of the changes owing to the male/female dichotomy being so incredibly core to everything.

Pelagos becoming Arbiter makes some sense from the Kyrian covenant story, but no one else will have a clue.

I just wish the DP was slightly less incompetent.

One thing this has going for it is that I don't actively hate Nynaeve and I always thought she was insufferable in the books..

As others have said this feels very SyFy channel. I think the director of photography is some guy they found filming fanfic at a ren fest. Ending the first episode with the intro paragraph was fucking amateur hour. Why was that not just the opening of the episode you dipshits. Why is the...

I have some faith that they will announce some sort of adaptation of the final 3 books after the finale is released.

Watched the first episode of season 4 and goddamn I like the new Federation President. She absolutely calls Burnham out for her shit and makes some excellent points about the nature of leadership. You think she's gonna be a smarmy politician at first and later realize she's the voice of the...

It's the entire Trek franchise including older episodes of the various series. Horrific misstep by Paramount.

I too really liked Battle Chasers and was just lamenting a lack of an RPG in the LoL universe while watching Arcane -- so good on them sneaky Riot bitches. Clearly they have orchestrated all this to a grand plan.

I mean they've thrown the book out the window at this point. Out the window, into a tree-shredder, while on fire. However I am digging the whole story and it does have an essence of the source so I'm still very much on board.

He was the guy who was being cheated out of his deal until Vander intervenes in the first episode.

Jayce's voice actor was the shaman dude from True Blood. HexTech and the mana stones I more-or-less get, but what's the purple fluid stuff? It seems to only show up in Zaun, not Piltover?
