That it didn't get cancelled and was still in production, cuz it's Firefly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

I've come to accept that Firefly is never coming back. But I have a few moments when I think about how it would have gone if HBO or some other related cable channel picked up the torch and ran with it. It would have been great to get a minimum of 3 seasons out of that show. It seemed like they had enough content and character building to show.

Better Off Ted needed another season.

The News: where should I start?

Ted Lasso. Moar Ted Lasso!

Walking Dead - People should get shot accidentally.

Everyone carries all the time. There are guns everywhere. I get it. Zombies. But where all the accidental shootings? That many guns around, someone has to be shooting themselves in the leg or accidentally blasting their spouse through the kitchen wall. But that stuff never happens in the entire series.

It's not realistic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Don’t want to paint guns in a bad light after all. They’re life saving weapons don’t you know?

Daredevil: Born Again. I’d have liked Karen to be a regular character.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

She great. I’ll miss her

Edit: she has come a very long way since her premier on true blood, although she was pretty great in that, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

I just rewatched Dexter and am moving on to new blood and subsequently original sin. I love me some true crime, I love me some fantasy, I love me some weird dexter. What I would change: Nothing really aside from more seasons. I am also intermittently watching Modern Family again. Its an easy show to watch with dinner. What I would change: more Cam, more Gloria both for different reasons

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Travelers - more seasons

Stargate Atlantis - more seasons

The Voice - more episodes per season. Add about 4 episodes. Maybe 5.

The Equalizer - that they casted someone who could run and actually fight. You can see how it is filmed that half the stuff is cut shots. I don't expect actual blood or broken bones but make the fight sequence look real. Also cut way back on the side stories. I'm considering cutting the show.

Lego Masters - cut the main host. He is not funny and makes the show hard to watch at times.

The star wars series on Disney plus - put them on physical media. Let me buy them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

RE: Lego Masters - It's the writing. Will Arnett is an incredibly funny comedian with decades of success under his belt. But the writing for him on LM is too stiff and not funny. In some of the one on one interactions though you can tell when he's going off script and suddenly things are more natural feeling and so much funnier!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Never watched anything else worth him in it. Haven't seen any of his stand up comedy bits so nothing else to judge on. On this show I've not seen anything from him that's funny. There was some pieces that were less painful to watch.Just nothing that I'd call funny.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Try Lego Masters from other regions. I'm guessing you are watching the USA version and I know my kids have enjoyed the Australian version way more. All a matter of taste of course in what works for you especially in terms of something like a show host.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

See if I can find it

It was really starting to pick up towards the end of the second season

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Yeah let's add that to the mix

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I am loving The Expanse but I wish James Holden felt more like an inhabitant of the System he's supposed to be saving. Sometimes it feels like he gets dragged along by the plot. And I'm halfway through season 3, I think I get that it's not entirely coincidence that he's always tied up in the shit, but sometimes it feels like the Hand Of God moves him into position just for the sake of the plot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

2nd half of s3 that changes.

4 is kind of odd for that, 5 probably feels better, 6 might be just for you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

From what I remember, in the books he's more the type to go put his nose into things and get involved.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Chapelwaite - I wish it wasn’t canceled after just one season. Kinda bummer when you start something and realize it’s gonna end without finishing the story.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish this streamer would think faster.

Then again, it's good background noise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Which streamer is it? I've got minimari on now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Emalynde. She's cozy.

Watching Portal 1+2 VODs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Jesus, I was just thinking I need this.

Dana is doing ocarina of time which is fun too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Ooooh I just looked her up thanks

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd remove the sex scenes. All of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Seriously, there are so many unnecessary cringey sex scenes in everything.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Severance. End it in 2 (or 3) seasons. You can only stall and extend a mystery for so long before it starts to drag.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I actually stopped watching, I couldn’t take it any more as it is.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That the Wheel of Time actually followed the books.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I for one am so glad that they're not. I don't need 14 seasons with basically nothing happening from season 6 to 10.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I agree that it couldn’t be a 1-1 adaptation, but I wish the general high level points were the same. It feels a little like they took the characters names and some of the themes and are making something entirely new. I’m not against new things, in fact I wish Hollywood took more risks with new content. But don’t call it something that people know and love and then change it so much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I came to say this. Don't watch it. Don't support that garbage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

that Mike tyson had one last good murder rage in him and caved Jake Paul's skull in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That it's a dub and not a sub.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Quinn Hughes would score five goals and Jimmy Pattison would finally have to pay someone a million dollars....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Both arms should be bionic.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Stargate Atlantis, the thing I would change is to make it as good as I remember it being, cause while it's fine and entertaining and all, I just remember thinking more highly of it when it aired and on previous rewatches.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

I still love Atlantis, but it's one of those shows with episodes you definitely skip.
