Started watching Discovery S4 last night with my new Paramount+ subscription - first 2 episodes.
I now want to rip my eyes out.
And what on earth is with the flame throwers on the bridge (or any other facility that's being damaged)? Its an horrendous immersion (what there is of it) breaking effect that makes me think I'm watching a One Direction concert rather than a space battle.

Best thing on TV right now (and for a good while) IMO.
I wonder when we will stop talking about 'TV'. I guess 'we' never will, but the youngsters might at some point.

Just started episode 6 of "The Boys" and the opening warning/disclaimer cracked me up!
Considering the hype, this Herogasm had very little ‘gasm.
Not enough bonking, 2 out of 5 stars.
BUT - as a The Boys episode in its own right, amazing. Finally the story moves forward properly.

This! Episodes 1-4 were fantastic with WTF moments but the central arc was not progressing at all.

Wait, it has a story?
It was amazing.
I'm not sure the orgy was even the target for the herogasm title. The fight was absolutely a herogasm for me.

Oh, how I so wish this weren't so true. And they are correct, Red vs. Blue is a much better show with a better plot ... which is saying something.
Welcome to the world of glory that is Paramount+ produced shows.
Now, don't you just wish you were paying for it?

Obi-Wan
The good bits were good bordering epic & within its continuity it was a pretty neat resolution to the stupid corner they needlessly wrote themselves into.
Overall the stupid, the badly executed and the horribly canon breaking bits dominate = a show that should not have been made.
Once again bad writers trying to write woke produce the opposite effect: Reeva is not some kind of hero of diversity character, Reeva is the uppity freedman bent on vengance who needs to be put in place by their white betters.
Its racist and bad and we all cheered when Vader smacked her down without even needing to ignite his saber
This is pretty epic for a battle that never happened

My favourite part of Obi Wan was when they tried to smuggle Leia out of the Inquisitor's base under Obi Wan's coat. Not so much Jedi Mind Trick as, 'Fuck it, we can't think of any sensible way to try and write this so let's hide her under a coat'.
Also, Obi Wan doesn't half age during the next decade or so, doesn't he? Barely looks any older than when Anakin was a kid but in the next decade, he turns into Alec Guinness!

Well they serve stiff drinks in Mos Eisley bars, and dehydrating in the desert cave with hangover can't be good for constitution.
Personally I thought Obi Wan was great, especially the last episode. Slotted perfectly between the old and new trilogies IMO with some very touching moments, particularly at the end of the fight and the very end of the episode. I'd argue it was on a par quality wise to the prequel trilogy obviously accepting that this is an extended small screen production rather than a film length big screen one.
The same goes for Lukes Uncle and Aunt.
Time for some Westworld Season 4! That is all.

I disagree.
The good bits of Obi-wan were at least decently good, the 'good' bits of Halo were still just B-grade action filmed in a quarry.
In a show called 'Obi-wan Kenobi' there was already far too much of the Inquisitors, if they wanted to make an Inquisitor show it should have been called 'Jedi hunters' or something and have left Ben & the twins out of it entirely.
Actually that might have been a good series so I guess I kinda agree with that
