What are you watching?

Still watching DS9. Oh my fucking God, that season 5 finale! What a way to end the season. Wow. So glad I don't have to wait 6 months to a year to see what happens.

Nokdu Flower (finished)

This period historical drama kept true to events of the Donghak Peasant Revolution (1894-1895). As I expected, there is no bed of roses ending. It concludes with the on-going struggle against the Japanese foothold on Joseon Korea. I read up on it and it doesn't make easy reading. But then, war records are never pleasant.

Going to choose a more happy drama to watch next.

Still watching DS9. The fuck is Iggy Pop doing here? I mean, does it feel more out of place than The Rock wrestling Seven of Nine on Voyager? Yes. Yes, it does actually. Have we jumped the shark?

Jeri Ryan is  quite impressive to this day. I just disliked when she let her hair down. It is clear that the more the light shines on her face, the better she looks. And of course hooking up with Chakotey made no sense.

I'm not surprised she can sing. Most actors and actresses that take acting lessons, also take singing lessons. I am not impressed she can sing, but I am impressed she can do it that well.

Finished Made for Love a couple of nights ago. The back end of the series wasn’t as funny as the start and the end was...odd.

It made sense, or at least, the logic of everyone’s decisions worked, but it felt like a little bit of a letdown.

Still, well worth watching and Cristin Milioti is a gift to the world.

At the moment i'm rewatching two series that i loved growing up and those series are Scrubs and Two Guys And A Girl ( And A Pizza Place ).

Decided to watch Mr Queen again because I need to laugh. Here's a short clip I made on the bit on how rumours spread about the palace.

Took a break from DS9 to watch Jupiter ...'s Legacy? That's what it's called. So Episode 1, great, fantastic intro, really sets the tone, steaks and setting. Episodes 2-5 booooriiiing. Episode 6 does something? It's the one episode so far that anything happens, other than the first. So far, so meh. It's slow, it meanders too much on things that aren't important and focuses too much on things that aren't worth covering to build up people we don't really care to know, or have much significance to the story so far, but even if they are important down the line, we also know nothing about them and you've already wasted too much time on them, to make me want to invest more time on them later on. Really sloppy work. I get that this production is expensive and it requires a lot of padding to reach a 12 episode season's worth of content, but you could have done better.

Still, there is something to be intrigued by, which I am hoping is worth it, but the way I see it, it's going for a Watchmen like kind of twist. Not that I didn't like the watchmen, far from it, but this is really not coming up nearly close enough so far and it's going to have to work really hard to justify it. It's also not good enough, if this season ends in a cliffhanger, to warrant the wait to season 2, to see all that happen. It's not that good so far.

Finished season 1 of Jupiter's Legacy. Turns out it's just 8 episodes, of which the show spends 4 doing absolutely nothing. The twist is ... Watchmen. Kinda. You understand that it's coming, you see it coming and it's poor. So if the show is going to go somewhere with season 2, that's great, I wouldn't watch the show now, though, had I known what happens beforehand. If season 2 uses its whole breadth of ... 8 episodes to take advantage of its narrative, then good, you'd have a whole 12 episodes of OK to GOOD content. But for now, only 4 episodes of "something", it's not worth picking it up yet.

So I went back to DS9. Second half of season 6 has some great episodes. Fucking Odo made me shed a tear. You know when.

I'm watching Stalker, not to be confused with the forumite and mod mousestalker.

Yeah, I know, it was a dumb joke; nobody @ me!
