Binged Fallout. I quite enjoyed it. Me too. Certainly binge-worthy; Some silliness, some stupidity, but all-in-all very enjoyable.

Finishing Solar Opposites Season 4 + Special. Starting Fallout Season 1.
Possibly starting the full run of Miracle Workers next.
But my actual list is up to hundreds of shows long. This week I reorganized my list of current/upcoming shows (with dates) and my other list of 'also can watch' (with categories of Scifi/Fantasy, Drama, Comedy, Animated, Anime, Marvel, DC, Star Trek, Star Wars, if I want to dig deeper, and each category has two subcategories of 'recent/would really like to watch' and 'not recent/don't particularly highly need to ever watch'). Its a lot, I know. But the organization/recent reorganization helps and I update the first list on a regular (at least once a month) basis, checking places like r/Television and other Google searches to see what's coming up. The other list has been mostly a dumping ground but this reorganization and trimming has helped a lot. Its sorted into 'currently/soon watching', 'other things to likely watch soon', 'stuff this year with dates', 'stuff this year without dates yet', 'stuff in 2025 with dates', 'stuff in 2025 without dates', 'stuff 2026 or beyond' (for example the supposed God of War show).
Sometimes I include movies but I'm much less of a movie buff, so I mostly watch whatever is more interesting.

Yeah, its been a while since I've watched a show as good as Shogun. I've been having watch events with my mom and sister, its been a lot of fun. After the last episode I joked, who knew you could seduce a woman by offering to behead her.
"He really gets me."

"He really gets me." Ah, Shogun, read the novel ages ago and quite liked it but didn't care much for the adaptation from the 80s or whenever that was. Can you or Ravenfeeder tell me, how faithful is it to the book? And yeah, Fallout was amazing. Already wrote about it in the Bethesda games section. Basically, this is exactly what I want from a game adaptation: Really stay true to the atmosphere and the spirit of the game world but tell an independent story in it. Bonus points for the level of detail and care they put into it and the guts to stick even with the more trashy/goofy parts of the games. Brilliant series.

I'm afraid I never read the book. It won't be completely the same, screen adaptations never are, it's a different medium. But it is utterly fantastic drama. Takes a little while to get used to Cosmo Jarvis as Blackthorn, but the actors playing Yabushige, Toronaga and especially Mariko are brilliant.

Yeah, same boat. This is my only foray into Shogun. Was it anything specific about the 80's series? I've heard it had a strong 'stranger in a strange land' vibe, with Blackthorne being the only POV character. Pretty much othering the Japanese as basically alien.

Nah, I think objectively it was pretty good actually. I just watched it rather late and it had too much of an ... 80s vibe, that I couldn't quite get into at the time.

Mastodon videos on YOUTUBE, love watching dat Bron Dailor flimmity flam them drums good... also watching dirty B Hinds troll every interviewer, reporter, band-mate, or rando that'll put a mic in front of is face. This guitar clinic is EPIC: I laughed harder during his set than I do for 99% of standup comedy acts, and I don't think Brent was necessarily going for humor vs. more just being his usual, batshit-crazy self= he is just being his usual embodiment of pure chaos Incarnate. He's a national hero; he's trying to singlehandedly solve America's drub problem by just... doing all the drugs himself

I'm 5 episodes in (and had played and loved FO3). Yes, they certainly went all-in on the weird vibe. It also has a similar feel to producers Jonathan Nolan's and Lisa Joy's Westworld (which turned into a chaotic mess by S2). So far I'd say it is an improvement over that one. And everything is made better with a little Walton Goggins.
Definitely continues the significant improvement trend in video game-to-movie/TV translations. Though not up to the Last of Us standard (a very high bar).

And everything is made better with a little Walton Goggins.
Definitely continues the significant improvement trend in video game-to-movie/TV translations. Though not up to the Last of Us standard (a very high bar). I would make 2 points here: 1. I really like Westworld until the end of season 3. It never went where you expected but they constantly evolved the world and the series. Only season 4 - which didn't bring in that much new anymore - was a letdown IMO, as was the rather horrible and very VERY bleak ending. 2. While yes, TLoU is probably the better TV show, just going by TV show standards, I am actually more impressed by Fallout as an adaptation. TLoU was a game that was already a very cinematic experience. Not to say that the show didn't still take chances (like the whole backstory episode for Bill and Frank for example) but still, I'd say adapting that game was pretty straight forward overall. Now Fallout, with its open world RPGs where the story and characters - at least in the Bethesda versions - took a back seat to exploration and sandboxing, that was a whole different beast to adapt. And I also applaud them for really sticking with the premises of the game, too. It would have been easy to drop certain aspects of Fallout (like the weirdness and the slightly trashy vibe) in order to appeal to a more mainstream TV audience. The fact that they managed to stay this faithful to the source material and still pull of a series and a narrative that works, that to me is in a way the greater accomplishment. No shade on TLoU though, as I said, it's a fantastic series and adaptation, no doubt about it.

as was the rather horrible and very VERY bleak ending FYI: It was a planned five season arc. There're hints that the ending might have been considerably better if they had gotten to finish it properly. Given they didn't, bleak is what we get. Rather fitting. I personally loved Westworld from S1 to S4, despite the tonal shift. It and SGU's big question are probably the two biggest plots I would love to see a proper conclusion to.
***
Finished Shogun episode 10, which is a wrap for that mini-series. It was good but not great.
***
Rewatched Arcane. Still absolutely stunning. The art direction is phenomenal.
***
Now I'm watching ChristopherOdd's Frostpunk playthrough. Not a game I personally want to play, but I enjoy watching it. Burn through that then start watching Frostpunk 2 I imagine.
***
Haven't watched it yet but a show called "Scavengers Reign" popped up in my monkeysphere a bit ago that I keep meaning to watch as well. Looks like the kind of thing to watch very stoned and a little bit drunk, and in the right headspace for abstraction. (Which I have only been 2/3 of those lately.)

I thought only S1 of Westworld was great and even then it took me half a season to start liking it. Found it annoyingly slow at the beginning. Dolores was irritating as hell. S2 went to shit really fast. I think it had two great opening episodes and then it was downhill fast. So much contrived writing. S3 I actually liked better than S2 because I couldn't wait to finally leave the park. And S4 started promising and turned into a train wreck. So I'm retrospect that show was hit and miss and probably not even in my top 30 TV shows. Premise was great but they blew it.
I'm kinda hoping Fallout can be a better Westworld with a cool synth storyline. There are so many similarities, I'm very excited to see what they can do with Fallout if given a proper budget and enough seasons to tell their story. Problem with Fallout is, what is even the story? It's a very episodic game series. You have these contained storylines to specific regions with specific factions fighting for power. So on the one hand, you could tell an infinite number of stories, on the other I don't want Fallout to suffer from the Walking Dead syndrome wondering where the plot is.
Fallout has a lot of potential but a lot can go wrong, especially now that the stage is set, the big mystery around Vault Tec has been solved. Now they have to come up with a compelling new storyline. S1 is mostly treading familiar ground, fleshing out the background lore. But overall game players already knew Vault Tec was evil. And factions screwing each other over for power is also very familiar. So I hope they can come up with a cool angle for the usual faction wars. The McGuffin here is almost too powerful. It's such a game changer I honestly don't know where they want to go with it. If the end goal is to rebuild for real on a big scale, then that would be quite the ambitious story arc.
Definitely excited to see where that TV adaptation Vault Tec experiment is going!

No shade on TLoU though, as I said, it's a fantastic series and adaptation, no doubt about it. And both fair points to make. Obviously #1 is purely our respective subjective opinions. Full disclosure: I just checked and I actually purchased the S3 UHD blu-ray! So maybe I didn't hate it as much. Either that, or it was just on sale and I was still trying to figure it out But I still feel it was unnecessarily confusing (sort of like most Christopher Nolan movies), and not clear if they really had a cohesive story in mind from early on (disclosure #2: I didn't watch S4 to see if they did).
On #2: I was going to agree. It's a good point on the differences in the source media and how that may impact the adaptation. Adapting TLoU (Disclosure#3: I haven't played, but know enough about it), a Harry Potter, a Dune etc. requires a certain set of skills and risks. Adapting something that essentially has little original narrative involves different creative muscles. And I'd argue greater "opportunities". I'd posit, without proof, the the latter has resulted in the greater movies and TV series. Examples: 2001, The Sopranos, The Wire...

Definitely excited to see where that TV adaptation Vault Tec experiment is going! Considering that the earliest a FO5 will come is the 2030s, that's time for at least 3-4 seasons of a show, even if a season happens every 2-3 years. This gives time to tell some kind of world-developing arc, one way or another. Maybe the NCR will be rebuilt but also partially reimagined for this new 2200s era. Maybe it'll become something else. Maybe the show will be used to do various lore 'inclusions' (that cough feel like retcons at times) for how FO5 wants to go. If there's a bigger story happening, its not just how war, war never changes, but its of how people are forced to come to some agreement or submission on what has to exist after the war. I think FO5 wants to have a capital that can actually run sustainably. Its the feeling I've had since FO4 and FO76 didn't dissuade me while this show outright encourages it to me. Doesn't mean that even the center of 'peace' can't have combat and even large battles at some point, but I don't expect a junk heap this time. The can have their 'ESIV Imperial City' while still having a threatening world. I wouldn't write off a literal statue of Lucy.

It would definitely be nice to see the world rebuild for real, not just tiny pockets of civilization in relative safety. I mean, how fucking ridiculous is it that people live in leaky shacks instead of moving into the houses all around them??? I do love how nonsensical Fallout is and I just head canon that radiation made everyone stupid, but I would like to see the world change and grow. A big city would be cool. There's no reason there can't be progress. The NCR already brought back some order. I mean, shit, at the pace of this franchise I'll be in the grave before FO6 if there even is one made by a new generation of devs because the old ones will be old and dead too by then, lol. So it's not like they'll run out of crazy stuff in future games if the apocalypse is somewhat overcome eventually. There won't many more Fallout games by Bethesda. So might as well work towards an end goal of sorts. I like the idea of the TV show tellings us how the world changed and then we get to play in that new world.

Finished SHOGUN. The Ending was pretty much like the original though more detailed and how it played out was different. Though I know 'technically' they don't have to make a season 2 because the series ended as the original did....I kinda do hope they make a season 2 showing the huge battle that everything has been leading to and showing Toranaga as Shogun. They've followed the source material and the original series closely, but this time in this instance...I wouldn't mind if they expanded on the story (perhaps taking from real-world events in history).
So, yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Finished Fallout. I was only watching an episode a day as it just felt a little too over the top to sit through more than one over a short time. I liked it, but yeah, think it would benefit with them turning down the wacky-meter a bit. Solid ending though I thought rushed. Spoiler: Lucy shooting her mom. Was it all that clear that her mom was no longer sentient? Lucy doesn't have enough outside-world experience yet to jump to that conclusion. I thought it was jarring that she pulled the trigger so fast. As to follow-on seasons, lots of ways they could go. Actually, Fallout would fit right into an anthology treatment ala Fargo/True Detective. I don't think they'll go that way, but it could work fine.

Im still in the first 30 mins of thenPilot episode and after the whole "wedding in the bunker" scene and then having it *flash forward* (or something) to some sort of Assembly...I dunno. I just thought [this is too weird even for me]. I mean, The Expanse is weird...Battlestar Galactica is weird, but those are a level and type of weird that I can deal with. Fallout was on its own level of different

With all that damage, even for a setting like Fallout, I am almost entirely certain that the mom, as a person, is completely gone and wasn't coming back. She's a 100% feral, zombielike being, and Lucy has developed into someone who will make the call and barely flinch.

Rewatching a few "Love Death + Robots" season 3 episodes. Still amazing.
