ok so i got through silo which i guess is nice because season 2 is dropping in like 3 weeks.

actually correct me if im wrong but nov is getting kinda stacked. cant be mad.

silo is hard to love but the fast forward button really saved it and the final scene was pretty fucking hard core. in fairness is got significantly better in like the last 3 eps. i dont have much else to say about it but if apple doesnt release all the eps at once ill probably find a online synopsis on the book its based on rather than let them mete out 10 minutes of compelling footage a week.

[gimmick]

There's the Dune show, s2 of Arcane and maybe something else. Squid Games was next month.

Never watched the Silo. Figured i'd watch it the next time when I get AppleTV. Maybe when s3 of Foundation starts airing.

[gimmick]

Oh and Landsman from the first post. That's good enough reason to get Paramount+. It's packaged with SkyShowtime here.

[sonatine]

so i just read a reddit thread that tried to explain the many, many things that made absolutely no sense and apparently im not an idiot, its just shit writing.

[sonatine]

also yes its basically 90% of the same story as fallout.

also i couldnt help myself; i read the plot breakdowns of the silo books and its definitely trash, plus the book series isnt even finished yet.

whatever tho rebecca ferguson is unreasonably hot so theres that to consider.

[sonatine]

so glad you mentioned foundation.. ive been really marveling at how great lee pace is on that show. its unusual. and honestly the whole story with the discovery and eventual enslavement of lady d was fantastic. as was the corrupted dawn arc.

fucking good show. apparently they wrapped filming on season 3 a few months ago and have slashed the budget significantly, lots of concern that there wont be a season 4 but fingers are real crossed.

[sonatine]

on god im going to re-edit all 3 foundation seasons and exclude any scene that doesnt have dawn, day, or lady d in it.

[sonatine]

lmao yellowstone is back starting sunday the 10th. apparently costner isnt even in it.


oh and btw i peeped his magnum opus 'horizon' and its very literally one of the worst things ive ever watched.

[sonatine]

ok hold up season 2 silo 5 minute teaser just dropped





and it looks fucking good tbh.

[sonatine]

also hilariously yellowstone premier didnt stream _anywhere_ and if you didnt have like a live network feed you were just blued screwed and tattooed.

[gimmick]

First 3 episodes of s2 Arcane are out. Like s1, starts out slow and mostly gets away with it by releasing the show in 3 ep batches. Of the non spoilery things I'd say it looks better visually.

With Silo I'm guessing I'll just get AppleTV as a freebie with the latest iPad Pro, because it's perfectly rational to save $5 by spending $2000.

[sonatine]

ok i just watched ep 1 of the 2nd season of silo and it was good. flawed, of course, but really not disappointing by any means.

my one note at the moment is that dragging these out with weekly episodes is just really fucking dumb.

[sonatine]

also the reviews are going piss wild about how slow it was and im over here like 'wow this is getting kinda artful at times'. mores the pity.

[sonatine]

ep 1 of landsmen shows promise. shits really uneven tho. lots of filler. thornton is rapidly turning into a whole ass actor tho which is frankly great to see. doing quite a bit of fast forwarding through the wife/daughter drama and pretty much any time a country song comes on which solves an awful lot of problems.
