After taking a break from it for a week I got back into ARROW with Season 6. There's a lot of the later seasons that I'd forgotten, I remember bits and pieces but I've seen seasons 1 and 2 the most so those are what I can recall vividly and remember the most about. But nonetheless, I really feel that of all the CW shows like ARROW, it's really the best and the most consistent of all of them. The FLASH was a close 2nd but it tended to be a little more on the 'teen-friendly' side and I have yet to watch Seasons 6 through 9; I bought the entire series on VBD as each season came out, but I have yet to actually watch Seaons 6 through 9 because after Season 4 with The THinker, I didn't watch it as regularly as I had...and eventually I just stopped watching it all together. So I do have some catching up to do; after I finish ARROW I will likely watch THe Flash starting with Season 5 and go from there.
I watched Legends of TOmorrow until the end of Season 3, but after that I had heard that it got really silly and in terms of character introductions and development hitting beats, the start of Season 4 totally sh-- the bed and didn't run with anything that Season 1 2 and 3 had established (in my opinion) so I was quite happy to drop LoT in favour of other shows. I then got into Batwoman (and really like Ruby Rose in the lead role)....Then with the re-casting it really started to pander to a certain crowd so I dropped that show too. I heard not long after that even Batwoman was canned after a short-lived 2nd season, so it's just as well.
See all of these shows....I just don't think they can touch the quality and originality of ARROW especially in the first 3 Seasons. Season 4 was a bit of a letdown because the Villain (as amazingly as he was played by Neil McDonough whom I like)...it got to be pretty tired. Season 5 though resumed the awesomeness and I think was one of the best villains of the series. Over all, I think ARROW was the best of the CW series and I quite like Stephen Amell as an actor. I know he has done two Netflix movies with with cousin Robbie (CODE 8 parts 1 and 2) but I haven't seen him in anything else. I hope he does more mainstream stuff in the future.

That sounds awesome. That guy is really smart to reverse engineer that. Some of those modes remind me of the mutron effect. Here is a Dutch bass player using the effect... Mutronic Injection - Dodge.

Mutronic Injection - Dodge. seriously considering doing it myself, I got my old Spector bass repaired earlier this year and I could probably get enough for it to do a DIY DarkRay... VERY tempted, that thing sounds mean as hell

AngryFrozenWater Yeah I'm doing it, talked to the guys at the local shop yesterday (if anyone here lives in Eu Claire or Superior WI, Morgan Music is the shit!) and they were super excited about the DIY DarkRay project. Which made me even more hyped. Going to be listing my Spector bass on Ebay here in a day or two, am already on the lookout for a black Sterling to get the ball rolling. Wish me luck!

Yeah and the guy had the music shop had the brilliant idea of also adding an octave circuit to the bass, with a switch, so this thing would be just an absolute frankenstein monster of madness. Its too much fun to not do it.

Honestly? Not that great. Felt like a vehicle for Freya Allen (The Witcher) to try her acting chops headlining a big screen high budget film. Not unlike Sophie Turner's attempt at Dark Phoenix after teeing her up in, er, DoFP I think it was. About as successful in terms of showcasing their talent too, IMO. (Meaning it did in fact showcase it fairly accurately...) Otherwise it's slow-talking voice actors mimicking apes mimicking English speaking Americans with mo-capped faces and a valley full of uncanny. I think I'm ready for the next reboot now. The first three weren't terrible but this may be a coffin awaiting a nail. Some spoilery things so↓ Firstly, Caesar the evil king. His Voice Actor once played a goa-uld System Lord in Stargate SG1 and has a fairly recognizable voice. I think he did a good job with what he had. (RE:Vault cracker:: Randomly knowing about its existence, and uncomprehendingly needing to get into that exact vault was tropey antagonist AF. But that's nothing on the VA.) Secondly, the gunshot wound. Seemed more realistic than many many many others I have seen. The wound hits the ape with the knife and he seems quizzical at first. He doesn't go flying through the air or rocking dramatically in some random direction where there's a mat. The bullet goes through. That's how that works, a bullet doesn't knock people back, that literally defeats the purpose of it unless it's a gelpack/nonlethal. So, to see that work that way was refreshing. The coffin patiently awaiting a nail or a sequel. Curious to see how that plays out. I don't imagine a box office success but I've been wrong before. PS: Can't tell if eagles are LoTR fanboying or American Patriotism but if they had bald heads it'd definitely be the latter. At least Peacemaker's Eagly is subtle about it.
*** Boys 4e7I really enjoyed this one. Butcher was funny this episode. Starlight giving MM shit for abdicating to Butcher only for Butcher to look at him and go, "[look] 'wat I got to deal with!?"
Then later, my old post office skills kicked in and I was reading the return address of Ryan's present tout suite. "Dont Beakunt" Priceless.
Also, Butcher coming to the gang and fessing up (mostly) near the beginning was a good thing. Him getting shit for it was realistic but he should've gotten a lot of brownie-points for that.
***
MM. Man, I almost wish he'd taken the ticket and got out. Guy deserves it. I mean, I knew he couldn't. Actor, contracts, episodes, it's not like he was disappearing like other cast could. But I had just kinda hoped maybe, in spite of.
***
So, Sage is out. Kay. Kinda felt like spinning wheels on this one. Just, do, something. I seriously doubt there's been enough foreshadowing for her to have any sort of master plan that would actually feel good right now. Maybe I've missed it, maybe not. She knew A-Train and was using him but that was teed up a couple eps ago.
***
Oh, the assassin girl in the closet. Okay, bit to unpack here.
As soon as they opened up the closet doors it was painfully obvious that was the assassin. You got that right? Like, immediately, well before the knife pull and Hughie's hand getting sliced. (ouch) They framed that so... obviously. Like, intentionally obviously. (Right?)
...Because I did not see the twist at the end coming. I absolutely fell for the cosplay porn. To me that seems like intentionally making the earlier "reveal" really easy to spot, thereby making the second one more difficult.
From a technical direction, assuming that's what they were going for, I found it great. Really good twist. They clearly demonstrated that the real Starlight had issues with it and for her to just kind of throw on the costume and bang her BF with it? From that perspective it does seem quite out of her character. (Er, sort of.) But I was too distracted by vicariously enjoying Hughie's surprise win.
The outta-left-field selfie was... odd too.
***
A-Train A-Train A-Train.
Wow.
M V fuckin' P
Talks MM into "doing the right thing" which I put in quotations because I still would be happier to have seen him leave.
Then saves the day at the end.
He dun gud.
Mentions his family is gone at the end too. Got his bases covered.
Really curious to see how this plays out. Like I said earlier, getting the "heroes sacrifice" vibes. I'm less inclined to think he turncoats after this episode mind you.
***
Deep
WTF, BRO.
Deep playing antagonist to A-Train's redemption arc and doubling down on the evil. This isn't selfish this is (self)destructive now.
Also, a bit surprised he dodged that first punch from A-Train.
The octopus death scene was exactly as long as I had worried it was going to be when it started. I knew I should've skipped ahead 5sec a few times but no. I had to wonder. That kind of humour doesn't seem to hit for me. Felt like... Family Guy or something. No. Wait. Actually that's exactly what it felt like. Seth Macfarlane humour he wrote under a crunch-time.
***
Noir.
Hey look he really can fly!
Starlight finally lands a joke. "Did he just talk?"
Poor nuNoir.
***
Sameer (actually is Sameer and not Samir, apparently) is lucky Kimiko didn't squish his head in. That didn't seem like a well thought out plan and felt a bit plot armoury for him to have escaped at all. Guy is hobbling out of there and Frenchie couldn't rein him in a minute after he dealt with her leg?
***
Ashley
Choosing to stay.
I am beginning to suspect that neither her nor A-Train are long for this life. Her because, well, poop. And A-Train because he's on a one-way trip to heroing himself to death, I (still) suspect.
***
Ryan!
His balls dropped!
I am curious to see how he ends up. Evil, which I don't suspect. Good, which I kinda do. Or dead, which I... strongly suspect. The thing is, his arc is tied to Butcher's redemption arc so I just don't see him going full Evil-son.
***
Fuck me it is painful how on-the-nose Vought parodies have been and are. The hypocrisy of them warning kids about indoctrination and grooming hits hard.
***
Webspinner.
Kinda with Homelander on this one. He needed to die for the good of humanity. That was... that was.....
...
and I'm done.
***
Edit/PS: WTF is up with Sage's notepad w/Maeve on it?

Legend of Shen Li, Chinese period fantasy drama
Felt in the mood for some drama so decided to watch this though I checked first that it has a happy ending. I hate watching a good show to have everything smashed at the end. That always leaves a bad taste.
Story starts out fine. Listening to the dialogue and looking at the subtitles, once again, the play of words is not fully conveyed in the subs. The male MC was talking about selling ginseng but the female MC heard it as selling his body and so misunderstood that he's a gigolo. As both words are of different meaning but sound so similar in Mandarin, it's impossible to impart the joke / misunderstanding across in English subs.
Anyway, looks like a good watch.

Last Wednesday I got and watched Dune 1 & 2 on Blu Ray. I have read the books a long time ago. Of course a movie cannot do justice to a book, but I think this was better than I expected. Chani was different than in the books. Why directors feel that they should screw up arcs like that puzzles me. Anyway, I like the two movies. Part 3 will be released next year and I am looking forward to it.
Maybe I am going to read the books again. At least the first 3. The books after that suffered once Frank's wife died.

Apparently the decision to film Giedi Prime in some sort of infrared was quite a thing because they couldn't alter it after the fact. Do or die, but it worked.

Yeah, I loved both movies and while of course they had to limit the content I think they were both good examples of making changes that worked EXCEPT for the changing of Chani. that was really poor, and I did not understand why they did it. And I did not like how they changed her in regard to her reaction/relationship with Paul at the end. I read the content of the first book related to the first movie but deliberately decided not to with regards to the 2nd movie so it would not distract and take away from the movie. Unfortunately the Chani stuff was a real standout.

Really curious to see how this plays out. Like I said earlier, getting the "heroes sacrifice" vibes. I'm less inclined to think he turncoats after this episode mind you.
***
Deep
WTF, BRO.
Deep playing antagonist to A-Train's redemption arc and doubling down on the evil. This isn't selfish this is (self)destructive now.
Also, a bit surprised he dodged that first punch from A-Train.
The octopus death scene was exactly as long as I had worried it was going to be when it started. I knew I should've skipped ahead 5sec a few times but no. I had to wonder. That kind of humour doesn't seem to hit for me. Felt like... Family Guy or something. No. Wait. Actually that's exactly what it felt like. Seth Macfarlane humour he wrote under a crunch-time.
***
Noir.
Hey look he really can fly!
Starlight finally lands a joke. "Did he just talk?"
Poor nuNoir.
***
Sameer (actually is Sameer and not Samir, apparently) is lucky Kimiko didn't squish his head in. That didn't seem like a well thought out plan and felt a bit plot armoury for him to have escaped at all. Guy is hobbling out of there and Frenchie couldn't rein him in a minute after he dealt with her leg?
***
Ashley
Choosing to stay.
I am beginning to suspect that neither her nor A-Train are long for this life. Her because, well, poop. And A-Train because he's on a one-way trip to heroing himself to death, I (still) suspect.
***
Ryan!
His balls dropped!
I am curious to see how he ends up. Evil, which I don't suspect. Good, which I kinda do. Or dead, which I... strongly suspect. The thing is, his arc is tied to Butcher's redemption arc so I just don't see him going full Evil-son.
***
Fuck me it is painful how on-the-nose Vought parodies have been and are. The hypocrisy of them warning kids about indoctrination and grooming hits hard.
***
Webspinner.
Kinda with Homelander on this one. He needed to die for the good of humanity. That was... that was.....
...
and I'm done.

Edit/PS: WTF is up with Sage's notepad w/Maeve on it?
Butcher When Kessler/Mr Squiggles doesn't come to the rescue against Deep/nuNoir, it makes me more suspicious that Kessler isn't actually Butchers imagination. He's formed by it, but is actually the psychology of the V in Butchers blood. Becca is clearly just his conscience trying to work through some shit, but I think Kessler is a manifestation of the V. MM/Frenchie/Kimiko These three continue to disappoint this season. Like you, I thought MM might suddenly have an interesting story. He left. He got out. He'd get dragged back in, somehow, of course, because actor contracts are a thing, but it'd show growth. But they Yippy-Kai-A Motherfuckered it. Yay, America.
As for the other two...now I don't even more in the dark about what that prison interlude was for. Annie/Hughey Yeah - yikes. The shapeshifter has game. Hughey's ploy to appeal to Neumann's inner decency is weird. I feel like there should be more to it, but the time to reveal that was when he was talking to Annie afterwards.
Speaking of afterwards... The Fight I would really like to know why they didn't just take a second to zero Deep. Yes, yes. nuNoir could be back at any moment. But he was out. Annie could have either ripped his head off or beaten it into paste with the weight. MM's line about "If you have the first fucking clue about how to do that" was cool, but makes me wonder, is Deep more powerful than his entitled frat boy persona would suggest? How long would it really have taken for her to deal a fatal wound with him non-responsive? A-Train sticking around for a nanosecond may have helped matters. It wasn't like he could be any further revealed as the leak. Also - "Kneel. I'll knight you with my dick." Ryan Kid came good. Like you, I rate the likelihood of the outcomes as follows; Evil < Good < Good, then dead. Good then dead, though...that is scorched earth material from Homelander. And Butcher, for that matter. There is one more season, they've revealed, so we probably won't see that outcome in the last episode this year, though. Sage No idea what is going on with the notebook, unless she's been deep cover the whole time? Seems weird, though. The nod - lol - between her and Neumann at Tek Knight's is still in play, I guess, but she confirmed what we suspected. She knew A-Train was the leak, in fact - orchestrated it. But that could mean two things. Setting the Boys up to fail is what she'd want Homelander to suspect, but the other option is holding back just enough to prevent Homelander - who isn't as smart as he thinks he is, but is still intelligent - catching on. Guess we find out next week.
