The TV Show Thread

OK. Good.

Whilst I was comfortae with the season finale ending as it did as mentioned before, there was way too much going on to leave it there.

Has a TV show ever blurred the lines of reality so much as Season 4 of the Boys and the current US election?

I mean it became obvious in Season 3, but theyā€™ve really taken it home in season 4.

Wouldnā€™t be surprised if Homelander has an assassination attempt in the opening ep of season 5, but the bullet just grazes his ear.

Apparently they had to change the name of the last episode only a couple days before it was released because it was called ā€˜The Assassination Runā€™

Has a TV show ever confused right wing seppos so much?

They fucked up V for Vendetta?

How the fuck do you do that?

I have trouble typing this becauseā€¦ I mean itā€™s on Paramount so it breaks the rulesā€¦ but Aussie drama Fake is really really good and Asher keddie is incredible in it.

First Iā€™d heard anything about this. Hopefully HBO are willing to burn heaps of cash to make it.

Set 10,000 years before the first book.

This based on Herbertā€™s writing or are they just making things up?

The series is said to be loosely based on Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Andersonā€™s 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune , which delves into the origins of the Bene Gesserit and explores the early years of key characters like Lady Jessicaā€™s ancestor, Raquella Berto-Anirul.

Yay?

I expect this to be rather good.

Thatā€™s a @jubal1 or Shane question. I think Iā€™ve only read the original 3 books. Story got away from my interest there.

I couldnā€™t get into any of the Brian H/Anderson books, even though I love the universe.

I think this is has great potential, the Bene Gesserit are one of the most interesting cultures in the Dune Universe, but I worry itā€™ll be hijacked by fucking culture warriors who want to cram cack-handed sermons into it, like The Acolyte.

Iā€™d like to see shows about the Ixians and the Butlerian Jihad as well.

The Diplomat on Netflix is decent.

Is basicay Madam Secretary but with a British twist and more sarcasm.

So the season two finale of House of the Dragon

Was merely an hour long trailer for season 3

The whole season was!

Iā€™m really impressed people actually watched this after the shit show that was the last two seasons of GoT.

I enjoyed the majority of it, with a few obvious highlights

the battle of Rooks rest and the small folk conquering the dragons being the obvious ones

Iā€™ll never forgive them for that battle where they had a perfectly good castle but decided to attack outside the castle with cavalry into an unknown enemy head on
