Wow, what a series. Though, if they hadn’t confirmed the second season ahead of time, that ending would be immensely irritating. But with it? A perfect set-up.
I thought there was a lot of filler in there, and I hate Two Booots, but that last episode is a master class in peak Star Wars.
You would hope that after voting Tory for 14 years that the English would have learned about voting for grifters. 😔
Oof!
There is no juice here.

Is anyone reading the Tom Taylor Batman book?
Is it any good?
There’s a part of me that is really, really disappointed with myself for being 50 and moaning about Star Wars on the internet.
But this is the clip they’re hawking around the chat show circuit.

“It was a bit of a surprise to us, but it was only their personal situation that mattered to whether they expected to have children,” Hayford said.
I’m really not surprised. We don’t have kids, both my wife and I have reasonably good jobs, nothing too impressive, but comfortable enough. I don’t know how we could have afforded child care.
It’s almost like airing shows out of order is never a good idea or something.
I watched the first season when it aired and gave up because I had no idea what the fuck was going on.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Still couldn’t care less.
I’ll probably watch it when it hits D+ but I’ll be amazed if it does any sort of big numbers, box office wise.
Trek does feel dead. The fans want TNG nostalgia and/or The Orville (I’d argue they’re the same thing) and have no real interest in the show going forward. Add the owners of Paramount to this and it feels like we’re in for The Mandalorian but Star Trek from here on out.
Maybe I’m wrong, but even thought I haven’t loved all of the new Trek, it felt like the took a swing, now it’s going to be fan service from here on. And not in a fun Lower Decks kind of way.
Hey, is Daneel in this?
Not that I can remember. Hari is an ongoing main character and it has time jumps. It’s very different.
Well, maybe I’ll look into Foundation at some point, too. I do love Jared Harris.
That one’s a bit tough because I was a huge fan of the books when I was like sixteen.
You need to put the books waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind you if you’re going to watch Foundation. They’re almost completely different. Which was a problem in season three, where they mess up the Mule.
Foundation looks a bit shit, so I might start on For All Mankind.
Both are very good for the first two seasons and then fall off a bit.
The chuds win again.
Was Gen v season 2 worth watching?
I really enjoyed it. Academy has been a good show, it’s a pretty strong first season. Let’s hope they can land the ending.
This month’s blog. As usual, there’s post rock / metal, goth, electronica and some melodic black metal.
You have to wonder if Israel has some kompromat on Trump,
Why not both? The man is a scumbag.
But a whole lot of people get rich and that’s all that matters.
A whole lot of Rich people get even richer.
I’m betting it’s going to be an adaptation of the manga where they’re vampire hunters in school
I’m sorry, what the fuck?
That sounds like the maddest story pitch ever. Is it any good?
There’s going to a new Neon Genesis Evangelion series!

It’s all very standard.
Yup, it’s fine and I had fun with it, but would have liked a bit more bite to it. I did like that it avoided some CW love triangle nonsense with Caleb and Genesis, they teased it, but had the sense not to.
Also, is it in Caleb’s contract to have his top off every episode? Just wondering.
Tig Notaro continues to be a joy.
I was thinking it was going to go Event Horizon with how creepy the ship was.
The Greatest Trek podcast has Tawny Newsome on talking about how they wrote EP5 and it’s a delight of a listen. I didn’t know she was so hardcore trek!
That Death cult is really invested in Dear Leader to more and more frightening levels.
Yea, I enjoyed this episode. This is exactly what star trek is. If people can’t get over star fleet academy being a young adult show, because it’s set in a university, they’re being dicks.
So, when do we get Number 0?
Let’s go with Slayer’s reign in blood.
Always good for a chuckle.
Yup. Agree with that. Nothing amazing, but don’t hate it. Hopefully it will pick up.
Looks good. Hope it doesn’t meander of like the Bad Batch did.
Holy fucking shit.

My only criticism is that there wasn’t a single Taylor Swift album in the bunch. Not one!!

Shake it off my friend.
I’m Sorry 🙈
(I’m delighted you enjoyed it)
Two years after starting this stupid project I’m finally finished.
So here is number one. A band most of the world never heard of, let alone remembers from the 90’s.
Proto post rock / metal. Grunge, alt rock, shoegaze and a dash of doom jazz.
This is the good stuff.
The best live album of all time? Probably. 🤔
Sting and royalties
Please picture the Nelson Muntz gif here.
Thanks.👍🏻

Here’s the best two ep / mini album compilation to ever come out of Larne, Northern Ireland
Just out of curiosity, Uncle: what other two ep/mini album compilations out of Larne, Northern Ireland are there?
Not a clue. 😅
Just figured my hype train was getting a bit silly.
Nearly there folks.
Here’s the best two ep / mini album compilation to ever come out of Larne, Northern Ireland.
Yer a tough crowd. Ok then. Here’s the best Irish album of all time.
Ok. Here’s the best post rock album of all time.
Wow. I’ve fallen way behind with this.
Let’s have the best shoegaze album of all time then.
Better than SNW is big talk.
Nice to see the plastic bag from American Beauty make a cameo in episode 2. I’ve always wondered what they were up to.
This month’s blog.
Goth, industrial/psytrance, metal, post rock, garage and other bits and bobs.

I have… questions.
Me too. Why isn’t South Dublin bright red?
Everybody’s weird is my favourite dEUS song.
It’s a great song.
We also tried the new season of The Witcher and didn’t even make it to the end of the first episode.
Same here. Even the fact I was drunk couldn’t get me through that crappy episode.
Wait, they have a song other than Suds and Soda?
Their first 3 albums are gold.

How about the best Belgian band of all time?
What brain have you if you see Godzilla in that picture?
A fully functional one.
I always wanted to be like Data from TNG.
Can I interest anyone in some prog metal?
