GOT (stop mid season 4)

Yeah to bad they never finished it

"Legend has it, they're still fighting to this day!"

I still think GoT is worth watching until the end of S6, the battle of the bastards is a fantastic episode and seeing Sansa's arc play out was pretty satisfying. Then it went to absolute shit.

Personal preference

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Or all Star Trek media released prior to 2009.

In a single sitting.

After 2009 it gets more hit or miss. There's still a bunch of worthwhile stuff though.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're right.

I do love 65% of SNW, though.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but had to stop after the holodeck episode.

A holodeck... in the prequel to TOS. Just WTF.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the musical episode was hot garbage. And the one with the drone swarm... Well shit, why didn't everyone do that?

Still, dunno, just have a soft spot for it

[–] rooroo@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

I thought it was hilarious. As a pure hommage to old trek that episode was amazing, and it didn’t try to be anything else.

DS9

Edit: Babylon 5! Acting is hammy but the story is great!

Does the Wheadon sex pest stuff ruin Buffy?

I haven't seen it but was a Firefly fan, and some of the things in that show now make me cringe.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

Not really, but it's a nostalgia watch for me. It wasn't an issue when I watched it the first time, and it's more about what the cast was doing. Wheadon didn't even write or direct every episode, so it's hard to really say he ruined every moment of work from maybe a hundred or so people.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you can seperate the author from the work, then yeah. There's nothing I can remember from a recent rewatch that's like tastelessly pervy in it. It does handle some mature themes, there's some episodes that deal with like SA and stuff like that, but it was handled with levity.

That said, you'll probably still cringe a bit because there's parts of it that are so blatantly late 90s/early 2000s that they're just funny to think about now. stuff like the "internet ghost" is incredibly dated.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

>sexual assault, it was handled with levity

As it deserves!

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Hell yes. Is there a decent quality version somewhere? I have some potato quality divx on a spool somewhere.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Sailing the warm ports can reward you with a dvd rip. PM me for details.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

The Good Place

BoJack Horseman

Babylon 5

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

RiffTrax (MST3K) Aeon Flux. Trust me. Thank me later.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The live action one? I'm all on on that.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Yeah with Charlize Theron. I mean the film is "ok" for entertainment, but by gawd, the RiffTrax commentary is so fucking worth it, I think it's the funniest RiffTrax of all time, it's like 3 bucks on their site, or you can DL it from thepiratebay.org (if it's still seeded, last I looked there was at least a few of them)

Edit:

Some guy running away from a murder scene.

Commentary: "Idiot! Streaking with his clothes on!"

[–] zaki_ft@lemmings.world -1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm going to avoid all of these.

Watch Wonder Showzen or Delocated if you want to see something that's not for pussies.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Lol. Yeah, you got the most edgy cartoons. Congrats, you won life.

[–] zaki_ft@lemmings.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Don't be so insecure.
