Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

It was all downhill after The Kids of Degrassi Street.

Oh boy.

My wife is beside herself over this news....

 

well I don't care for Tim Allen's politics but I'm pro this series, seeing what the retirement clause would be like, but is there going to be a new head elf in charge both the actors that played Bernard and Curtis are adults now. Also if we see the council again won't they have to recast the Tooth Fairy hell I want to know if the Mythical council has clauses too. And from what I read in the articles it sounds like Carol and Scott had another child since the 3rd movie (Charlie stayed with his mother and his step-father and in the second film we're introduced to Charlie's half-sister)

 

also this is coming too

first time in three years that the new season starts, and the first time in almost 10 years that a season starts early in the year rather than just having Fall runs

This will be quite the departure from Black Sails, which I'm finally finishing this month. 

I'm not a big Marvel TV or movie guy, but once upon a time I read the comics... and I loved Moon Knight. This will be on my watch list:

I watched this trailer and was just so confused...I have no clue what's going on. Marvel is really starting to lose me as they get nerdier and nerdier....

I tolerate Disco, I hated Picard. SNW has to be good right?

The Disney+ shows are like that.

So excited for this!

Loki was for sure... That was too much for me. The rest I was good with. Absolutely adored Hawkeye.

Yep without any prior knowledge of the character that trailer reveals nothing I would think. This is one of few Marvel heroes I can nerd out about to some extent and I'm also pretty puzzled. I know MK has multiple personalities or covers he bounces back and forth from, but it wasn't 'split personality' type stuff where a guy would wake up with a gun in his hand not knowing where it came from. As with all origin stories I'm sure they'll make their own twists to suit the show's style and make for (hopefully) good TV. Who cares about perfect adaptions as long as it's worth watching. All I know is this is a solid leading actor and as hokey as the costume looked I'm hopeful

Speaking of bad adaptions I loved to watch, Wheel of Time was bingeworthy, had plenty of wow moments (cold open to episode 7 my jaw dropped), and is on deck for an even bigger budget in Season 2. It's not a shot for shot retelling of the books and thank goodness, we might actually get somewhere with this

Of all the recent Star Trek spin-offs, Discovery is currently the worst, The captain, who is supposed to lead, is emoting all over the place (although this season she is not crying in every episode) and the writing is just terrible.

I think the worst thing about DISCO is that it's become a giant love in. Where's the angry Stamets from season 1? 

Least that's plausible compared to the turbolift caverns on that ship.

oof, I seem to be the only one enjoying DISCO...

Really looking forward to ST:SNL. Anson Mount as Pike? Rebecca Romjin? Actually exploring? Yes please!
