Type O Negative, "October Rust" (1996)
You're just making shit up. Slandering the dead isn't a good look, FYI.
The whole card shtick sounds kinda lame, but putting Armin Shimerman behind the bar is top level content 👍
I can't speak to US social media trends as I live in Europe. There is a certain overlap for sure, but I can't say I follow the online water cooler talk about current shows outside of this server. My critique was based only on watching the show.
You could have a point about changing audiences, and certainly about broadcasters lagging behind such changes. If the powers that be chase their own tail rather than connecting with the actual viewership, surely their shows suffer.
It surprises me a bit that Legacy of monsters reached beyond its target audience, though. It just doesn't feel very engaging to me. But I may be closer to the intended viewer rather than the people actually watching? Which again just emphasises the discrepancy between intent, expectation, and reality in terms of this show and its audience.
Posted only two days ago, only linking to Hillebrand's tenforward.social account rather than his blusskey one.
Ouch, weren't he and Tom Baker just promoting some new Sherlock Holmes audios?
Honestly, branching the cold war narrative out is probably the more obvious way to streamline the show. It can't be easy to juggle two plot lines, past and present, and have them reflect upon each other without becoming contrived and gimmicky.
But the late '50s part of the show feels more vital than the rest of the show, maybe for its heightened Indiana Jones feel. The bigger challenge IMO is to make the contemporary human characters seem relevant. Especially the twenty-something cast is given mostly filler to work with, against a backdrop of pretty dire kaiju fare.
Although I think that the best Godzilla movies have focused on human drama, I can genuinely understand if viewers of corresponding ages don't identify with Cate, Kentaro, and Corah. They're the biggest albatross around the show's neck, even given the Rodan appearances.
Back from the dead, judging from the cover art. I'm trying not to pick sides in this matter, I can't code in either language 🫣
Here ya go 😄
Rest in power, Captain.
I opted for "The Tholian web", and it opens on Chekov. Maybe he's not super prominent in it otherwise, but it's a peak TOS episode.
Edit: Watching it now, he has some good away team scenes, and that great freakout on the bridge when Kirk's fate is uncertain. Definitely a Koenig showcase!
Such a great little album 🖤
Pinning this for when the BBC picks their choice to lead the next Who production, so we can kvetch over which of the also-rans would have been better, akshually 😂
Bryan Fuller posted this on Instagram as a birthday greeting to Laurence Fishburne, back on July 30.
So apparently Fuller had intended to carry over the Hannibal cast into Discovery in various parts — and this was how he'd imagined Fishburne in Klingon prosthetics. It also suggests that the much maligned Disco Klingon designs were decided upon after Fuller left as (preliminary) show runner.
ETA: Here is a rundown of the casting plans he had in mind, originally revealed on the D-con chamber podcast. I would have watched Gillian Anderson as a starship captain.
It only took forever (well, from May until now) for this vinyl to become available in my local b&m record store... But holy hell, is it worth the wait! 🤘🤩
