Whatcha Watchin'?

Yeah, I hung in there for the whole entire season, unfortunately; it was so bad.

Are they trying to replace the Inception ā€œBRAAAHā€ with a siren as a generic background dramatic musical cue?

Because I am all for that.

And Iā€™m pumped for this movie, too (in a way that Iā€™m not for Avengers 4).

Blade Runner fans should like this even though itā€™s not about the future

It stays good, gets better if anything. There are at least four shows out there with this vaguely LaĀ JetĆ©e storyline, and Travelers is as good as any of them.

Similar except way way better

Yes, itā€™s an X-Men TV show. Just give it a chance.

Not watching, yet, but if itā€™s even half as funny as the thread that inspired it, I will want to.

Yes, this one I like. Similar production values as many ABC/CBS/NBC/USA shows, but a storyline covering many of the family themes in X-Men 2. I also like that it has Amy Acker (Root from Person of Interest).
Plus, it gives many minor mutant characters a chance to shine.

Also Fred in Angel, and, in a role that I am very grumpy never got revisited (or even referenced again), a nun/fairy named Nova in Once Upon a Time.

I just canā€™t bring myself to watch it, not even for Misty & Gao.

I did just finish the season finale of Killjoys; it was pretty good.

Iā€™m excited for their last season.

Netflix finally has The Flash, so I am watching it for the first time.

Iā€™m mostly enjoying it, despite (and partly because of) its faults. Itā€™s fun to yell at the TV when they get basic science wrong. Itā€™s fun to watch the absurdity. Itā€™s fun to roll my eyes at the soppy maudlin bits.

It rather feels like reading comic books as an 8 year old kid that way.

Thereā€™s this whole zany, joyful comic book vibe that you get on this show and other DC shows, but that simply doesnā€™t show up in the Snyderverse on the big screen.

So count me in as yet another person who wishes DC would smarten up and make their films more like their TV shows. I mean, I did like Nolanā€™s Batman [ducks], but Batman really is dark. The others not so much.

I was mostly there for Carlos Martin (one of my favorite Law & Order cast), but during the third season I just couldnā€™t keep up with all the alternate realities.

The thing is, Nolanā€™s Batman is gritty, but itā€™s not as grim and humorless as itā€™s remembered. Like when Bruce tells Alfred that if heā€™s caught, Bruce will tell the police that it was all Alfredā€™s idea. Or when Fox points out the absurdity of attempting to blackmail a vigilante.

The Nolan movies arenā€™t the rapid-fire witticism machines that the MCU movies are, but theyā€™re still funny.

Can we give the next batman film to the people who made Gotham? That would be good.

Watched The Endless on Netflix and was pleasantly surprised. Itā€™s a Lovecraftian film with emphasis on existensial dread and otherworldly space/time. Not very scary just creepy.

Thank you for mentioning. Netflix says that has a 94% match for me (and I agree just from your description), yet somehow it hasnā€™t recommended it to me. Now I have something to watch this weekend.
