Really enjoying RAGNAROK on Netflix. There are some beautiful Norwegian women in it.....I guess Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are the places to go if you want to see a lot of six-foot tall beautiful blond women. Right after you visit California....Like the Beach Boys song says.

Finished Jupiters Legacy last night. It was...kind of OK. But honestly, I would rather have just watched 6 episodes about nothing other than the quest to reach the island and get the powers. The modern day stuff where super powered beings were everywhere and The Union was more bogged down than a hung parliament/Congress, followed by a 'villain reveal' that will never be paid off was just...meh. Also - the show was cancelled, in part, for being over budget???? Other than the island, the special effects were very 2005 TV show. It can't have been the talent, Duhamel and Bibb are known names, but they aren't exactly on anyones 'must have' list of actors. Anyway - it was 'fine', but not much else can be said about it. This article actually paints a great picture of all the shit that went on behind-the-scenes to screw up the show. Seems like it was almost all business-related SNAFUs that compounded on each other, rather than artistic failings. (Here's most of it copy/pasted) The show, however, seemed to be a victim of several factors, some of its own making, some not, and illustrates the birthing pains of building from a highly publicized acquisition.
The series was plagued with issues from the start, with then-showrunner Steven DeKnight initially asking Netflix for a budget of at least a $12 million per episode, according to sources. The streamer, however, backed him down to under $9 million.
It wasn’t long into shooting that the show found itself overbudget and running behind, with DeKnight, never one to shy away from speaking his mind, according to people who have worked with him, clashing with Netflix over “creative differences.” The production was shut down about halfway through its eight-episode shoot; DeKnight was replaced by Sang Kyu Kim, who then had to retool the first batch of episodes.
Issues didn’t stop there, however, as even after wrapping production, the show spent an inordinate amount of 2020 in postproduction. Louis Leterrier, the filmmaker behind Netflix’s acclaimed Dark Crystal and Lupin series, was brought in at the eleventh hour as a consultant, according to sources, but the move was too late to save the troubled show.
With episode spends now reaching above even what DeKnight originally asked for, show insiders say he was proven right in some respects.
“Marvel shows are $15 million to $20 million per episode,” notes one producer working in the comic book space. “If you’re going to make a big superhero show, you need at least that much.”
It is unclear in what range the final budget landed. A Netflix insider pegged it closer to $130 million for the season, but with the cost of shutting down production and the long post time, several sources peg it at upwards of $200 million.
To compound problems, Netflix then underwent an executive shuffle that saw Jupiter‘s greenlighter, vp original content Cindy Holland, and its two original executive overseers exit the company. Holland was replaced last fall by industry veteran Bela Bajaria, who took the mantle as head of global TV. As is the norm with many a shuffle, any project not part of an incoming exec’s portfolio will be scrutinized. “Unless the show is an undisputed hit, it’s going to fall under the microscope,” says one Jupiter insider.
When Jupiter was canceled, some observers presumed bad metrics were the cause. But a day after the cancellation, Nielsen showed Jupiter atop its streaming chart, generating 696 million minutes of view time in the week of May 3-9, better than Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale (690 million) and other original series from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Disney+. And Jupiter was, for a while, a fixture on Netflix’s own public top 10 chart visible to subscribers, although that metric is vague as it is not clear if it’s measuring fully-watched episodes or smaller samples or just acting as a visibility booster.
Millar and Netflix spun the cancellation by saying Jupiter is going to be a universe, with a new live-action series — based on an unrelated Millar comic titled Supercrooks — given a series order and put under the Jupiter umbrella. Several rival executives questioned why you would lasso yourself to a failed launch, but others noted it does allow the company to gauge the initial awareness winds generated by Jupiter while still allowing Bajaria — between Supercrooks and reviving previously sidelined project The Magic Order — to put her own stamp on Millarworld.
Some say the fate of Jupiter’s Legacy has revealed that Millarworld, despite having a creative IP factory in Millar, lacks a seasoned producer or executive that can really steer the division. A Netflix insider insists that the company is invested in Millarworld for the long haul, noting building franchises takes time and that even vaunted brands such as Star Wars and DC have stumbled. Interesting, thank you. I thought DeKnight was one of those 'super producers', though. One of the producers that could get 'whatever they wanted', like a Bruckheimer, for example. Obviously not.

Right after you visit California....Like the Beach Boys song says. Hey Bunny is Ragnarok in english or subtitled? It's over-dubbed into English, but clearly by the lip-syncing you can tell they are speaking a language other than English. But if you don't mind peoples' lips not matching what they are saying...it's a great show. Same with the original Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. The original movies are amazing. The Hollywood version with Daniel Craig sucked in comparison. I mean, really sucked. But, yeah, give RAGNAROK a shot, dazk

Finished Go Ahead. Drama has a total of 40 eps. Enjoyable. Now watching Izakaya Bottakuri. A Japanese drama of 11 eps about two sisters who run a small restaurant they inherited from their father. The restaurant is so small I figure it can serve up to 12 customers at a time if they squeeze. Now on first ep so I've no idea if this is a food drama. They're showing lots of food so far. Edit. Oh I didn't notice the alcove (hidden by a wall) with probably two more tables so it's 20 if customers squeeze.

Izakaya Bottakuri is a food "drama". It showcase various food and the way to prepare them. I popped into another drama called Perfect Match which is another show about cooking. However, I realised it isn't a China made drama when something felt off when I listened to the actors. They don't have the rich timbre accent / tone of actors from China. I don't like the cinematography. There's jiggling from one angle to another at times when it's supposed to be a smooth panning. Acting chops of the actors is bland. When they're supposed to be angry / sad, etc, there's hardly any passion to be felt and the delivery is weak. It's just a light touch on the emotional surface. Were I to rate this drama, I'll give it a C+ / B.

Finished I'm Home.
A 10 ep Japanese drama about a man who lost parts of his memory after meeting an accident on his way home. The period of his recovery became a journey of self discovery as he slowly recovered his memory and the mystery of the numerous keys on his key chain.
It's a great drama, with the keys playing a pivotal role in unlocking the doors in his mind.

Finished Legal V Ex-Lawyer Shoko Takanashi, nine ep Japanese legal drama. A story of a disbarred lawyer who set up her own law firm with a ragtag team. Together, they take on hopeless cases. Ultimately, Takanashi's goal was to remove the greedy corrupt power-hungry chairman of the bar association for using underhand methods to disbar her. Nice show with a great lead. Enjoyable.

Watching The Naked Director.
A semi-biographical comedy drama about Toru Muranishi who introduced another style of filming for adult videos and gained a reputation in the porn industry. Although it is a bit funny at times, it also raises questions on the usual issues of sexual desires / dissatisfactions / expectations.
I dropped it for a while to watch Howl's Moving Castle. I lost touch with anime movies so I've no idea if such high quality animation is still being made in Japan. I would guess they are. Hopefully.

I found it to be an entertaining anime.

Finished RAGNAROK and it was good.....But they were really leading up to the Final Battle (because they even played heavily on the Serpent of Midgaard) and the creation of Mjolnir.....But it never came to that. I guess I will ahve to wait till Season 3. Though really, Season 2 was out waaaaay sooner than I ever expected, which was a pleasant surprise. So maybe it will come soon. In any case....All this made me want to watch the MARVEL THOR movies (1 and 2....3 sucked. It had some elements in it that I was very intrigued about and found myself getting inwardly excited about.....And then it would switch gears to this forced, not funny buddy-buddy banter between Thor and Hulk and other nonsensical characters....and that just ruined the whole mythology aspect of the movie for me. It started out great, Thor hanging in chains......And I was really anticipating a dark action movie that was very driven by the mythology and the crisis. In the end we got: "But of course you're funny, buddy! Because you're Hulk and Hulk does very Hulk things!" "NO. Thor thinks he is funny. But next to HULK, THOR is a puny god." "C'mon, Hulk! Thor loves how you turn into the Green Rage Monster and Hulk-Smash" "Hulk. Smash." UGH!

Have you checked out the Dr. Stone series on Funmation? I found it to be an entertaining anime. I've no access to Funmation. Is Detective Conan available on this platform? 10k eps and movies on the stream platform sounds great but does it have Detective Conan? That's my #1 missed anime series for the last 14+ yrs and it's pretty hard to get the tv series dvds; I've the first few seasons and all the movies. I've the manga though but nothing beats watching anime. Edit. Oh Funmation dropped it in 2018 and Netflix also took it out. Ha, no surprise. It's expensive to dubbed but then I don't like it dubbed. I prefer to hear the original Japanese actors and read the subtitles. Additionally, this anime isn't meant for kids below 11 (I tried it with my students but they generally all have little knack for curiosity / puzzling out the clues. Those at 12 showed some aptitude) but for sleuthing fans. Oh well, at least I can get the manga and movies easily.

Cells at Work is another anime I thought was interesting. I've never seen Detective Conan, I don't if it's available to me, but I'll check it out if I come across it.

Done Roughnecks, is fun. Shame we don't get a conclusion but oh well. I still like Col. Tophi which I remembered from watching it eons ago. Appreciated Gossard this time around a lot more. Naturally had to watch Starship Troopers from '97 after. I still find it entertaining. Tried watching the second movie, couldn't power through it. Watched the third, Marauder, which was terrible but in that campy late '90s/00s way. Had T'pol/Jolene Blalock from Enterprise in there too. This movie is hilarious at times. It's entirely a dig at theists vs atheists. There were a few points I had to skip ahead a bit but I watched the whole thing, mostly. It gets ridiculous. Really, really, ridiculous. (It clearly intends to though, take it as you will...) Casper Van Dien looks coked out of his head in virtually every take in the movie. Then watched Invasion and Traitor of Mars, which are basically western anime versions of Starship Troopers with fairly high quality CGI, if you've never heard of em. Had a couple interesting ideas in there, and one particularly pretty space battle. Actually not that bad for popcorn entertainment. Spoiler for Invasion on the off chance you haven't yet but want to see it. Carl takes over some warriors psychically, seemingly permanently too. They spray paint em, and for some reason I just love the way that looks. The idea of it. Makes me want to paint a tyranid/zerg army or something like it. Tonka Trucks: Bugs Edition /shrug

They don't have the middle seasons but is updated on the latest eps. However, it's not available in my region. Total eps is 1010 eps. Shocked? It started in 1996 which is when I picked up the manga and later bought the anime series on dvd. If you want to or happen to come across Detective Conan renamed Case Closed in western regions, it's better to start from the beginning. It's a little difficult for newcomers to just jump into the latest eps because they will not understand what's going on with the chars that has been developing over the last 25 years if the case Conan is investigating has connections to the main plot.

Alright, we're doing this. We're watching another episode of STD!
Are ya ready kids? Aye aye, captain. I can't hear youuuuu! AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
Ooooooooh Who lives in a starship, deep into space Michael Burnham She's the starfleet's secret best ace Michael Burnham Kirk and Picard just cannot compete Michael Burnham She'll make the KlingOrcs admit defeat Michael Burnham Michael Burnham Michaeeeeeeel Burnhaaaam 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
Spongebob intro, come on! That's the most fun we'll be having with this. Episode 6 "Lethe". I think this should mean something, but I forget. Tilly, you have no personality. So work your phat ass out. Michael Burnham sure has a ... unique way of running, I'll giver that. 6.5 seconds. Everyone got that? That's our goal, 6.5 seconds. We can not do more than 6.5 seconds. We have to do 6.5 seconds. Anything above 6.5 seconds is unforgivable. I got it, Michael, 6.5 seconds. You don't have to tell me again. Even if I had ADHD, id get it by the third time you said it. I expect Tilly to make the physical exam and make the 6.5 seconds, then we'll get some crying and emotional validation, not necessarily in that order. No Michael, you don't go Cadet to Captain just like that. Don't be an idiot. Lorca and Tyler are shooting KlingOrcs. I assume we're in a Holodeck. You guys remember all those Holodeck sessions on the Enterprise, with Scott, Checkov, MaCoy, Spock, Kirk, Uhura and Sulu? How about that time Riker went on the Holodeck on episode two of TNG and was completely underwhelmed by it, because they were were just so ordinary? No? That's right, because that's not how it frigging happened! There were no holodecks, until TNG!! The fuck is this? Power slide and shoot, then the Orcs running in line to get shot by Tyler? Is this ... this isn't even training. Not to mention how Lorca is just laying down on the floor there, taking his time to get back up and none of the Klingorcs fire at ANYONE!!! This just goes to prove that an easy mode for Dark Souls just doesn't work. Don't do it, From Software. Counting the intro, the recap and everything, we're at the 4:50 mark. Not even 5 minutes in. We'll get through it guys. We'll live. Oh, Tyleris the new Chief of Security. So we're on Sarek's ship. Sarek's assistant injected himself with a USB drive and exploded, while they were traveling, because, uh, Vulcan supremacists are a thing now. I mean, I guess. Okay? Oh my God! We're back on the enterprise and Michael Burnahm is ordering food on the replicator! Which shouldn't exist. In other news, FOOD! We didn't have a food scene yet. Burritos. I think I should order one. I've never had a burrito or a taco, even. Yeah, Mexican food isn't that popular and what Mexican restaurants do exist are kinda expensive and maybe I should order when I have company, because I need to make a large order, if I want it delivered and ... what? Stalling? No, I'm not. Alright, back to Michael Burnham ordering *sigh* burritos in space. Star Trek! Oh, fuck. Michael got the Burrito shits. That's terminal bro. You got 0.6 seconds to find the crapper, otherwise say goodbye to your dignity. No, wait, she's mind melding with Sarek. BTW, Sarek, ew. Now she's running with that terrible running form she has and what the fuck is that? She gets pulled to him, like we're in some kind of cartoon, what the fuck is going on? Who thought this looked good? Kurtzman, bro, what are you doing? Alright, we're in a memory, I guess, in Sarek's mind and, after mind melding with Michael, Sarek elbows her out of his mind? Does that make any sense? At least not to me. Alright, more validating of Michael Burnham. Right, logic extremists. I want to take a minute and interpose. Logic. Extremists Logic. Extremists. You'd think a logical person would logic extremism out of them. As in extremism is an illogical mindset. Like being racist, or supremacist. Not logical dispositions. Not only that, but these Vulcan logic extremists want to secede from Starfleet and the Federation. Both of which offer Vulcan peaceful diplomatic relations with other civilizations, military backing and a wealth of resources coming in from the many colonies in the expanse of federation space. So no, I don't think Vulcan's "logic extremists" are very logical, or have thought anything through. Even if this all starts from their displeasure from the continuous war of the Federation with the Kilngons, Michael Burnham already established that Vulcans themselves deal with the Kilngons in an openly aggressive manner. So the only thing this will accomplish, is Vulcan entering the war, without Federation backing, all alone and without the resources. Great plan! Man, fuck this show. We're still at the 13:30 mark. 31:10 remaining. Does this show get anything right? Anything at all? So Michael Burnham already knew she had Sarek's katra in her, even though she was surprised to find out in episode 1 of Discovery. Yeah, got it, the long range mind meld is bullshit, we know. We're going to nipple clamp Michael to enhance her connection to Sarek to find him, as he is lost in a nebula that prevents the Discovery's instruments from locating his damaged ship. Also, Sarek is wounded and dying. From the *sigh* "logic" "extremist" that suicide bombed himself on Sarek's ship. It hurts to type this shit out. Stamets is acting ... rather eccentric. Or like he spent his childhood eating paint chips. I don't know. Wait, it this how Alex Kurtxman interprets a character would act ... because he's gay? Is this Alex Kurtzman's idea of ... sass? My God. My God! We're fucked! Michael Burnham requires support from ... Tilly. I guess, if I were to clamp my nipples, I'd want someone with worse tits telling me how much better mine look. I lack previous nipple clamping experience, I don't know. What the fuck am I watching? What even is this show? Out of all the show, the scenes with Jason Isaacs interacting with other crew and actors, are the most welcome. Shut up, Tilly. Right, so Tilly is on this mission to do ... nothing. I mean, she gets paid, might as well put the actress on the screen. Watching Sarek slap Michael Burnham around is surprisingly ... pleasing. She could use a few. But you know, if I were a young girl, watching my "self insert" getting slapped around by *ahem* "daddy" ... oof. I understand a few things now. Very, very confusing a for a young lady to interpret. Just saying. Oh, no. It was Sarek's failure, all along. How could this be? I never saw it coming! You know, Sarek, you could have asked one of your one kids, because Michael Burnham doesn't exist, if he wants to attend Vulcan Academy. Which he doesn't, because he joined Starfleet. This show is terrible. We saved Sarek, is the episode over, now? That ... that's not green tea. Oh God, no. No feelings talk. Please, Michael. Yeah, Sarek was a bad dad. And Michael now rejects him. Kurtzman, I've seen your shows. It's the same thing, every time. I'm tired of it. What a terrible episode. Oh, we're not done. Right, the Kilngons.Oh, no. It's a trap. Oh, no! Is Captain Lorce from the Mirror Universe? I don't want to watch this show anymore. Look how long this post is! It's not even funny. Episode 7 when the fuck ever I feel like it, I guess. I don't wanna.

Gee. Sirpetrakus.....Tell us how you really feel I'm never watching drunk, if I'm not Discovery, first.
Btw, watched England beat Germany. 2-0. Good game. Gonna have a beer and some chips for dinner to commemorate the win. I never liked the German team. Not once have I cheered for them. I don't know why.

Watching Japanese medical drama Doctor X. Main focus is a freelance surgeon hired under special contract (on her terms) at a hospital. Her contract stipulated no clerical work, no escorting professors to conferences or accompanying them on their rounds, no to chauffer professors, no helping professors with their essays / research, no team dinners, exact working hours, extra charge for OT. Wow. The new hospital chief had to accept because he knew she's really good and that no doctors in the backward hospital could match her. I at the regular shots of a gaggle of hospital staff escorting the chief on his rounds. It's so backward and time wasting in filming. No surprise since the first season was filmed in 2012. I'm glad the Korean medical drama Hospital Playlist did away with such unnecessary panning and kept a tight focus on the chars, their stories and the events / cases in the hospital. Hospital Playlist Season 2 ep 2 (last week) is especially heart breaking and yet warming. Ep 1 has an astonishing revelation and yet when I think about it, yes, I can completely understand why the mom kept visiting the medical staff.

I wish I could watch FOUNDATION....But I don't have AppleTV. "Apple" is considered a bad word in our house unless we are talking about the fruit.

Started Nightflyers The entire crew is dead by the five minute mark of the first episode Like, I don't even know if that can be considered a spoiler. On the one had it is a great way to filter the show, because that alone will keep the only audience interested in such a show, leaving only to explore the why and the how. Which is a terrible shame, because the casting is fantastic, Jodie Turner-Smith is just breathtaking and Gretchen Mol is giving her part some of her best performances I've seen her do, the production value is top notch, there is a clear vision behind the cinematography of the show and the premise is intriguing, but considering those first five minutes, I don't know how interested am I in a show that has, effectively, no stakes. Since the show was cancelled at the end of season one, which really seemed to wrap up the story, I wonder how could they even go to a season 2?

Whoa, six seasons to Doctor X and I'm in S3. I wonder if Netflix bought all six seasons It's pretty formulaic for every ep but I watch it just to watch her kick the hospital staff and chiefs in their butts since corruption, pomposity, snobs are rampant. Most are annoyed and furious with doc x for refusing to follow the rules of Rome. Fun. Skipped to Kekkon Dekinai Otoko for a while. Story of an architect who's clueless that the practical honest generally well-meaning answers he gave are tactless and offensive to people he met. It took an incident when his irate neighbour came to complain about the loud music he was playing one night when he struck up a friendship with her and began to change, learning to open up to people around him, change his habits and gradually improve his social skills.

Finished Kekkon Deikinai Otoko.
The story is good, had a lot of fun viewing it. The ending holds promise so I was surprised but eager to find there's a S2. However, I became puzzled because the female lead isn't the same and the whole process of the male lead getting to socialise again seems to be repeating. What's going on? I looked it up.
Turns out the sequel takes place 11 years later and the original female lead didn't want to sign up for it. The season 1 character development was dropped completely and it's back to square one for the male lead. Ugh. Who would want to watch it after that bright promising season 1 ending? No, not going to bother with it. Some of the reviews also gave the sequel a thumbs down, citing the same concerns as I and giving the overall writing a negative.
