  • More season 1 spoilers and speculation

    I’m guessing, at least temporarily, it’s going to act as a sort of dead man’s switch. If the Hive tries to convert her she’ll set off the bomb killing both herself and Manousos, so they’ll keep their distance.

    I don’t think tramatizing them into a crash will work. I think you could threaten to blow up an bunch of people and that would keep them away. I think you could do it and they would be traumatized for a few minutes, but once it wore off I think they’d basically be fine. Unless the trama is active I think they’re mostly fine.

    I do however think the bomb could act like an EMP and that disruption will be important.




  • Season 1 is also seeing renewed attention, with streaming viewership up 50% since the release of the standalone prequel episode “Marathon Day” on July 31, a month before Season 2 dropped.

    It’s probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen a show do. They renumbered (on the Hulu app) all of season 1 and put the prequel episode as the new first episode. But it did cause me to rewatch season one again, so the article is right.

    Anyway, excellent show, I hope they get long seasons in the future.


  • Hey, there is one positive one in there,

    @dmoviereviews The Last Photograph is daring departure for Zack Snyder from his typical filmmaking, creating a more intimate story anchored in photography and brought to life by his striking cinematography and Hans Zimmer’s musical score. Sprawling Columbian landscapes are beautifully captured on camera as Snyder explores a darker, more grounded story, with Zimmer working overtime to create the film’s atmosphere. Light on dialogue and letting the visuals and music create the emotion for the majority of the film, and rightfully so as the dialogue is rough to say the least, and there are definitely some scenes that serve no purpose. But there’s a haunting story about evil, destruction and redemption that makes for an intriguing film #TIFF26





  • Re The Orville,

    As I understand he’s now at least written all the episodes for the next season, now it’s just a matter of getting everything together (the equally hard part).

    I thought he would stick with The Orville on a regular basis, but maybe once you achieve your dream it’s easy to start looking at other projects.

    Paramount called his bluff on the Ted live action series (he would only do it if they could have movie level budget for CGI Ted, and they did, for two seasons at least). So I think he jumped at that since it seemed like a limited time offer.

    Plus now he’s diving back into animation with a Stewie spin-off show and a Ted animated show.

    I do hope we get Orville season 4 someday, especially with Star Trek coming to an end (for now).
