I like that they're giving Ted McGinley more to do, but not at the expense of Christa Miller, who's been hilarious the entire way. I actually find Segal the least entertaining of the ensemble.
He's very good at playing Jason Segal. He's like quite a few others that are fairly one note. Seth Rogen I'm looking at you.
Segel is basically an unfunny Albert Brooks.
I only watched 2 episodes of Ponies, haven't come back to it for a while. I didn't really notice the music in that show.
After listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson describe the myriad reasons why humans cannot succeed in colonizing Mars, I can never watch a movie or show involving Mars and partake in suspending reality again. But I guess that's why they call it science fiction.
I made it most of the way thru the series, but I checked out eventually. There was a fairly significant difference when the show moved from SyFy Network to Amazon. While there was a bigger budget, I just didn't enjoy the storytelling or the characters as much after the change.
Can you watch any movie or show? Most are not really particularly based in reality, regardless of subject matter.
Yeah, but few of those have been exposed as impossible by NdGT.
Eh. Most of the canon of sci fi is really unlikely, if not impossible. Some of it might be based on theoretical stuff that has some merit, but it actually becoming reality doesn't seem like a good bet. Where is our faster than light space ships, exploring other galaxies thru worm holes/black holes, even something simple like laser blasters?
Not to get too deep into this, my Mars thing is because this is something we're actually trying to do in my lifetime so there's a reality component to it. A lot of the other space shows are waaaay out in the future where there may be other kinds of power for propulsion and maybe we've found wormholes or whatever. I've just been listening to Tyson and other physicists lately talking about the futility of trying to land humans on Mars. Even if you could get there, it has more things that will kill you than Australia!
That's why we gotta send all the peasants/convicts to Mars first to terraform it. A couple generations of sacrificial lambs and maybe it will be livable eventually.
I'm 3 episodes in. I like it, don't love it. I do think it tends to the ridiculous at times. Night Manager is a little better done.
Love the books for the same reason, and of course the humor. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is to GOT what The Hobbit is to LOTRs in many ways. It's set in the same universe but has a decidedly lighter tone.
Well, except for all the brutal deaths thus far, although it’s pretty light for the GOT universe.
I just mean in amount of deaths. Not necessarily how they dined.
