Thoughts...
May. 22nd, 2018 08:29 pm1. Well Amazon is in talks to pick up the Expanse, I'm admittedly ambivalent, I'd rather they picked up Lucifer to be honest. Considering I can't seem to get back into it, and have 13 episodes and counting on the DVR. It didn't hold my attention that closely during S1, and I read the first of the books -- not that book did either. (I found Holden rather annoying, and my favorite characters died at the end of book 1 - Leviathan Wakes.) Yeah, yeah, I know it has diverse casting, but a lot of series I watch have diversified casting. I just find it hard to follow and rather badly paced.
I haven't given up on the Expanse exactly, I'm just...rather meh about it. There's other series that have been cancelled that I'd rather they save such as Sense8 or Lucifer.
But alas, no one cares what I think. And I tend to like weird things that sort of go against the mainline.
Fox is doing pretty much what I thought they were going to do in regards to the two Lucifer bonus episodes or extra episodes that they'd filmed -- Air Them Next Week -- they are burning them off. They do that now when a show gets cancelled. Burn the excess off during the summer months, when they've nothing else to air. Also add them to the DVDs.
Lucifer, Timeless, and The Expanse are sort in limbo at the moment and hunting homes. No news yet on whether NBC will continue with Timeless - they were waiting until the finale aired. (I think it has.) Probably checking to see if there is a time slot. The Expanse has the best chance because Amazon is hunting sci-fi serials with built in fanbases. Lucifer is the biggest long-shot. (Damn it. As luck would have it, Lucifer is the only I've really been following. I gave up on Timeless (it irritated and bored me), The Expanse (on the fence, right now it's just boring me and I haven't watched an episode since well the first half of season two ended), Lucifer on the other hand -- I've watched fairly quickly after it aired and posted about. It's the only that had characters that grabbed me, the other two? Meh. So guess which one has the least chance of surviving? Lucifer.
Such is life.
I'm weirdly amused and irritated by this. But then I have a dark sense of humor. Irony amuses me.
2. Quick?
a. Rolling Stones or The Beatles?
b. Heart or Queen?
c. Nirvana or Coldplay?
d. Prince or Michael Jackson?
e. The Who or Pink Floyd?
f. The Eagles or ABBA
g. Lady Gaga or Maddona?
H. Fleetwood Mack or Wings?
i. Leonard Cohen or Paul Simon?
j. David Bowie or Bob Dylan?
3. Ran across an odd and somewhat disturbing post on Tumblr which reminded me how women have been manipulated by the media over time to see rape as crime perpetuated equally by men and women, and often caused by women. I saw this a lot in the 1970s-90s. Less so now.
( about MeToo, Whedon, Art, Rapists, Sexual Violence, Westworld, etc. )
Anyhow...just a few thoughts to throw out there.
