Well the "Last of Us" e4 slipped right into The Walking Dead territory in nearly every way.. YAWN

What made you think it slipped into Walking Dead territory? I did feel some Walking Deadness during the Ep 3 montages. 

That being said, I've enjoyed all the eps so far, though there has been plenty of eye roll moments for me. 

I think the casting for Ellie is poor - this Ellie just comes across as demented - they should have cast Nico Parker, she was wasted as Sarah. (IMO)

Anyone here knows where and when I can watch the new Dr Who episodes with david tennant?

I think it'll be a while, maybe Christmas special? Wiki says November, 3 episodes for the 60th anniversary special. Tennant will only be doctor briefly before Ncuti Gatwa takes over afaik.

Thx it’s a pity he should do a whole season 

Somewhere they said he would do 14 and Gatwa would do 15 but the information is so fractured I couldn’t find one cohesive article about it

I really liked station eleven.

Although I feel I bit duped about every single online article describing this as science fiction.

but there's a man in a spacesuit!!!11! jk

i enjoyed Station Eleven too, i think the non-linear story timeline was done well and everything ties up nicely. great performances from everyone too, especially the girl who plays young Kirsten - she's phenomenal. the story explores concepts of love and family on many levels, and the overall tone is right. immersive / 10

looked like a complete waste of time to me right from the off. I didn't want to say anything too pointed earlier but I can't see how it's any different from the ooh chaotic madness generic zombie shite that's been plaguing us since 28 Weeks Later (which was arguably the peak of that form, sixteen years ago, and was itself nothing but a poor-to-ok sequel). there's one scene in that show where they just hand everyone guns and it goes exactly as you would expect but even sillier.

if you're watching a "serious" show and it occurs to you it needs yakety sax played on top, that means it's Not Good.

Man i got to disagree - I think it one of the best shows ever made - serious. Nothing is as intense. You're on edge all the time and there is zero build-up to the crazy shit that happens. Very little filler dialog and the acting/action is so good. 

Its like "go plastic" vs some generic drum n bass album!

Omg yes! Was gonna say the best child actor I've ever seen, but looked her up and she was 19/20 y.o. at time of filming, still, great performance.

Agree on all of this. Station Eleven wrecked me in the best way possible. Particularly last couple of episodes chriiiiiist. 

I looked it up and the girl who played young Kristen was born in 2008 - if the series aired in 2021-22 (and was probably filmed in 2019 or 20 maybe?) she was probably only 11 or maybe 12? And, agreed, phenomenal actor in a cast full of phenomenal actors.

Fuck I can't do math lol

Lots of great cameos. Nice arc for the characters. One of the best UK comedy shows ever.  I'm due a rewatch myself.

What's the vibe like?

The Last of Us Ep 5: A few silly moments, however, I warmed to Ellie in this episode. 

been rewatching Jordan Peel's twilight zone... some episodes are quite watchable but most are really shitty...

Peel's monologues are so fucking cringe feels like punching him in the face...

Yeah, that reboot was pretty shite. Didn't fill me with violent rage though, just bored.

Spaced is so damn perfect. Hilarious and you love all the characters and not a single episode that falls flat. 

I really hated that Spaced show, gave it a chance until the end of s01... and I really dig some UK comedy from the 90s... but you shouldn't be surprised about that by now...
