What are you binge watching?

Carol just had an intimate experience with a woman who had access to every known lesbian sex trick in the world, and you're stuck on wanting action. I'm surprised she got out of bed.

That Carol got Zosia to start talking about herself and not the "we" is not a minor detail.

I don't know about you but I have better things to do that watch a couple of old lesbos.
 
HuskyHawk said:
I agree with both of you.
Zosia remembering what she liked and felt as an individual is important
. The pacing is glacial. But I think that is a Hitchcock style trick to help convey the boredom of this new reality. Once our Uruguayan arrives we may see some changes as Carol would be able to communicate with other than the hive.

Hopefully the last episode will deliver. The show is not as great as people are making it out to be.

I watched the premiere episode and thought it was a spoof of a sci-movie. It is right out of the 1950s. Haven't we seen this a couple of million times before?

Yeah. I thought of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which is way before my time but I am aware of it.

It’s funny to see all these people proclaim that “tHiS iS toTalLy orIGiNal”.

I didn't think of Body Snatchers. To me it's a different thing. No time was spent on the effects of loneliness or how surviving humans rationalized supporting the new aliens. IOTBS was close to a pure horror film, IMO. Gilligan's creation is more psychological.

Your opinion mAy DIffEr.

Oh it's a modern take on the same thing. Except with a couple twists, like making them invaders appear benevolent. I heard the last episode flips things upside down. Let's hope. Because this is pretty boring. I only keep saying this because it started off well and then stalled really bad.

We're simply in disagreement then. Different tastes. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Anyway, early Christmas gift - last episode is on today, no need to wait till Friday.
 
Binge isn't the right word (yet). "The Copenhagen Test" is brand new on Peacock. All episodes available to stream. I only watched Ep. 1 so far but will definitely continue. Simu Liu stars as a former Special Forces operative who is now with a watch dog group that monitors all of the U.S. intelligence agencies. He's strictly in the office, not a field agent. Not a spoiler, since it's in the trailers and revealed in this episode--somebody has hacked into his brain and sees and hears everything he does. Now his agency wants to use him to try to ferret out whoever hacked him.

Also includes Melissa Barrera, which is a good thing.

Halfway thru now, 4 out of 8 episodes. Still a decent watch IMO.

Barrera should be a big star. She's not exactly unknown, but she should be a bigger name.
 
Blasted thru the last 3 episodes of Copenhagen Test last night. Enjoyed the series. Final episode got kinda crazy. Definitely set up for a Season 2.



Finished that, Peacock has another new series coming out in January that looks interesting--"Ponies." Stars Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson. They are both spouses of spies, the husbands get taken out, the wives agree to help whatever agency it is because they seem inconspicuous, they are Persons of Non Interest, thus the name of the show.

What an utter disappointment the last three episodes of Stranger Things turned out to be. So may plot holes and cringy emotional scenes. A failed ending to a very good series.

The Copenhagen Test. A first-generation analyst realizes his brain's hacked, allowing access to his senses. Stuck between the agency and hackers, he acts normal to reveal the culprits.

This just came out a couple days ago. I liked it. It's better than the reviews.

In order for me to watch this, I need someone to tell me how, if his brain is hacked, the hackers don't know he's trying to entrap them. Seems to me that's a huge plot hole.

Also at his work place they have a room that blocks all signals, so they can talk freely in there for about 30 minutes at a time. It appears to be a secure meeting, not all that unusual for an intelligence agency.

I binged this over the last month mostly because the kids wanted to watch it but my thought at the end was if El just took out Sarah Conner, wouldn’t they have been able to live happily ever after? Cut the head off, the body dies type of thing? I dunno, I zoned out of a few episodes so I probably missed some important stuff. Murray was a great character though.

Not to go all nerd but….

1) A five season build up to a battle with the Mind Flayer and they beat it in about four minutes.

2) Where were the demigorgons? When the military got attacked earlier they were ripping people limb from limb.

3) 011 was the one that fought every major foe and they let JOYCE be the one to give Vecna the final death shot?

I could go on.

Yeah agreed, especially with #2, the demigorgons kinda just disappeared for some reason which was a bit confusing. And Lucas giving one of them a front kick in the hospital elevator was absurd.

Reactions were mixed over the finale. I was okay with it but I also haven’t been as invested as the folks who’ve been watching it for 10 years but the Duffers seemed to be doing anything possible to make it two hours long. Some of it was just unnecessary and cringy.

"Upgraded Body Mag"?

That subscriber list must be very popular with scammers.
 
Every now and then I poke around the menu on Tubi just to see what they have. Was happy to see all 3 season of Suburgatory are available. Love that show. Watched it bit by bit years ago, I think I'll watch it all together now. Just started with 2 episodes tonight but it's getting late.

Dad (Jeremy Sisto) and daughter (Jane Levy) move from NYC to the suburbs, where they are way out of their element. Much sarcasm and satire follows.

I bought one of the Lobster rope mats from Maine and while too expensive it really is nice.
