Give me something to watch on Netflix

Here’s my response

I assume that Liam works for the UN en that he has free reign on what he does. Hence the ship scene. The way they retrieved the hard drive didn’t make much sense, they could have just as easily sent in commando troops and captured everyone on board. The leader would never have destroyed the hard drive since he needed the recorded messages. But it was for a fun but brutal scenario.

They called the aliens their lord because they DID sort of have a religious veneration of the aliens. The people on the ship were in every sense of the word a religious cult. Remember, their leader was the only one who ‘spoke’ to the aliens, it is suggested he probably fed the others a bunch of lies anyway.

I think the whole idea is that a lot of people willingly submit to beings/entities/organisations that they feel are all-powerful, hence ‘my lord’.

The nukes in space didn’t make much sense to me either. Maybe because it’s the strongest explosive we currently have? I haven’t read the books, so can’t really say more on this.

I believe the second season ( and the second and third books) will be playing in the future.

If Liam works for the UN, so what? This is before people find out about the aliens, noone is bending over for the UN at that point.

You're probably right that they are a cult and he was indeed lying to them, could have been made clearer though.

The reason for putting the nukes in space made sense and has been proposed as a propulsion system IRL. But the capability for supposedly contemporary humans to do it in such a short time didn't :conf:
 
Watched the last ever Curb Your Enthusiasm. Great send off. The shows not hit the same peaks the last couple of seasons but they wrapped it up nicely. Some of the clips made you realise how long its being going. Not just the cast looking much younger but even the way its filmed. None of this HD 16:9 nonsense back in 2000!
 
Finished the last season of The Crown last night. As a commited socialist republican I can honestly say I thoughouly enjoyed this show. :embarrassed: Top quality writing, acting and production values throughout. The last season got more mixed reviews but I think that that's just from Daily Express readers crying about POOR DIANA!!! (even though Elizabeth Debecki was phenomenal in the role) It did decline a little over time but it started at a solid 100% for me and only dropped a couple of percent a season. Last season was still great and the ending was nicely done.

Also got the last ever episode of Archer to watch in the next few days. I'm going to be in bits :embarrassed:

I did not care for Imelda Staunton's portrayal of Elizabeth. The prior actors did a wonderful job of showing Elizbeth as an otherwise bright, happy, and loving human forced into a very conservative and cold role as queen and the struggles she faced as a result. Staunton portrayed Elizabeth as simple, dull, and cold.

And the fact that I never stopped seeing Deloris Umbridge didn't help.
 
Unfinished, but really enjoying. Dark black humour with a great balance for crude. If you wanted/liked The Great, then you’ll almost certainly dig this.

Have we seen "Delicious in Dungeon" yet? Warning: it's an anime. A group of friends set off the rescue thier mate bfore she is digested. They have no money for food so they must kill, cook and eat monsters along the way. Much of the show is devoted to the cooking of various monster entrails in a way to make it palatable to our heros. It's gross and funny as hell.

Without wanting to post spoilers, this is deliberate and explained in the last episode. What you can say without spoilers is that they are attempting to portray her as an older woman whose been beaten down by years on the job, the Windsor fire and her childrens divorces. She's not the same as her younger self.

This.

I liked her, but I will admit that it took me waaaay too long to get professor Umbridge out of my mind.

Interesting. I must have missed that in the last episode. Makes her story even more so sad.

I've been intrigued since I've read the trilogy. However, I thought the novels were pretty silly (particularly the last one). Is it worth watching?

I thought it was a very good binge watch. Nothing too challenging but pretty entertaining
 
Okay.... I ended up binging the entire Fallout series. Now I can't wait for the next season!! :baimun:

Perfectly dark, engrossing, and funny. Loved it!!!! :helper:
