April 22, 20179 yr comment_762539 I guess this program has been around a long time but tonight was my first time seeing Craft in America. If the rest are as good as the "Nature" episode, I've got a lot of inspiring shows to watch! Report

So many "WTF?" moments! Just watched the pilot. I am smitten. This is fantastic. The story, the layers of reality, the art direction, the music (especially the use of covers, but even the not covers), Syd Barrett (!) as a crazy person...and then, out of nowhere, a dance number. Starting on the second episode, I love the Jean Smart character, and ... Bill Irwin! I love Bill Irwin. Report
April 25, 20179 yr comment_762784 Has anybody else watched Oasis on Amazon? That was a great pilot. Report
April 25, 20179 yr comment_762818 Yep, watched this one (Black Sails... Thought I had quoted the previous post from4/8) from the beginning season and enjoyed it (mostly). Sorry to see it end. The final season felt a bit compressed and moving too quickly though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Report

May 15, 20179 yr comment_764565 American Gods, earlier. I don't think an adaptation of this, one of my favorite pieces of contemporary fiction, could be better. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, now. A movie I watch on occasion. I'm a nut for the age of sail, and I think it was marvelously made. It did look better on the big screen than it does on my TV, but I imagine I have more resolution than indifferently calibrated 35mm. I wish more of these movies had been made, as O'Brian's books had a surfeit of wonderful vignettes and stories, most of which would be well suited to the big screen, and Russell Crowe was never better suited for a role. Maybe someday we'll get an excellent big screen adaptation of Horatio Hornblower. Edited May 15, 20179 yr by EdipisReks1 Report

May 24, 20179 yr comment_765422 I have a buddy coming over tonight and we are going to check out the first few episodes of the new "Twin Peaks." I really hope its good, but my expectations are low. The first season of the original "Twin Peaks" is one of the best single seasons I've ever seen on TV. Report
May 24, 20179 yr comment_765423 I thought it got off to a solid start. Certainly haven't dialed back on the weirdness! Report

June 2, 20179 yr comment_766226 Alternating between Parks & Rec, House of Cards, Doctor Who, and American Gods. It's kind of confusing, ackshully. Especially House of Cards/Parks & Rec, which I do daily, the others are weekly. Report
June 3, 20179 yr comment_766350 Mostly listening, though, there's audience footage, but very little Aphex Twin footage (so far, what I've seen, which admittedly is only a couple minutes ago). EDIT: this is rave crap, abandoning... Report

June 4, 20179 yr comment_766426 Six Feet Under I just finished the 2nd season and I'm loving it. There's an honesty to the characters that is sometimes a little uncomfortable to watch but IMHO, that's a lot coming from a tv show that started in 2001. I didn't have HBO during it's first run but I'm happy to watch it on Amazon Prime. Report

June 6, 20179 yr comment_766535 All the best shows get cancelled early. It's like a requirement. Max Headroom only got two seasons. The words, "too smart" should probably never have to be uttered, and yet...there it is. Goddamn, Emily Browning (Laura from American Gods) is cute. I just love that elven, exotic look of her face. (And the fact that she just spent the entire most recent episode braless didn't hurt. Spinner!) Report

Supernatural aims pretty low compared to Firefly. It was one of those Buffy wanna be's with small budgets that were perfectly happy to have small time ad sponsors. Firefly had some pretty nice effects and a primetime spot on Fox. Those slots on the big networks (at least at that time) are fought over fiercely. Report
