Watched episode 2 yesterday and they keep finding more oddball associates of Durst. I suppose weirdos attract other weirdos. Not sure I'd recommend the series, definitely seems like they're milking things to get to a 45 minute run time for each episode.

Part of me assumed this was real with everything else going on in the world.
They blew it up!! Damn them all to hell!

That’s not the Dr. Zaius I grew up with. This one is way too moderate.

I’m still stuck at the end of season 1. I’ll start it back up one of these days.
It was really good. And they left the door open to these characters showing up later. Which they probably will given how much Filoni loves the Clone Wars era (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Was never a big fan of Omega as a character but she was great in this episode. Echo’s story arc from the Clone Wars series to this series has become one of my favorites.
Why not a fan of Omega? They make an excellent wristwatch. The Planet Ocean series is really sharp.

Still have the finale to watch but Fallout has been fantastic. Not a player of the games (not an RPG or walk around and talk to a bunch of people gamer) but I do enjoy a good post apocalyptic story.
You should see what happens at my house if the dogs are fed 10 minutes late.

Monkey Man was fun, kind of silly, shot in a cool way. Like a more emo, Indian John Wick.
I liked Fallout. They captured the game's vibe well. I'm not sure I like having two super naive, borderline idiotic lead characters, but Walton Goggins makes up for it (as he always does). I wish it was a little more serious and less comedic but it's not that big of a deal.
Three Body Problem series was surprisingly good. Testament to Cixin Liu but a lot of the scenery was almost exactly as I imagined it while reading the book.

They turn on you fast
Lunch is ten minutes late and it’s Armageddon and then you are scavenging gasoline in the wasteland and hiding from cannibals and mutants

He’s a man of the people.
End of the world going on and he just casually puts on his work boots.

Helldivers 2 is a hell of a good fun game.
Starship Troopers + Aliens + Halo taking only the best parts of each. The over the top patriotism and "I'm doing my part" tongue in cheek humor is perfection.
Getting 3 of your buddies to squad up and go hunt bugs or bots in 10-45 minute missions at a time is also the perfect dose for parents squeezing in a quick game after the kids go to bed.
Will def be game of the year candidate after resolving the Sony account issue in the past couple of days.
Also just started Fallout series and first ep was perfection. The first 15 minutes had me open jawed going WHAAAAAA - holy shit this is good production/writing.

For me, a good version of a Superman tale has a Superman who is relentlessly good but has internal emotional challenges about knowing if he’s doing enough good or could do more good. So he’s a light in the room and gloom, questioning if he’s bright enough.
I think that feeling of being good enough is something us regulars can relate to and even sympathize with. Being able to punch things harder than anyone isn’t relatable.
Knowing some of the stories Gunn referenced as some of the influences I feel like he gets that a good Superman story is about the feels that we can relate to and not about the action; action is just a bonus. So I’ve got some hope this is a good Superman movie.

I also like this that the Garfield movie producer put out.

Last game I played that I loved was Dave the Diver. Super fun - you dive, fish and then run a sushi restaurant. Really polished and balanced game and it's pretty funny too.
Sort of Pokemon-ish except you turn them into sushi.

So Gunn is trying to reboot DC by going to a younger cast of heroes? That could work if done well. I wonder what part Sean gets?

S
So far he was Calendar Man in Suicide Squad (background character only and a CG character in it too), a voice role in an upcoming animated DC movie, and an unannounced role for this Superman movie.
He’s too old to be Jimmy Olsen. Is there a DC character called SuperHangerOnBrother?
