I would agree that there was a bit of a downturn in the last couple episodes, the tone shifts fairly drastically as he gets further/deeper into the process/weirder it gets. But those last couple episodes have some of the best bits.I finished The Rehearsal. Somehow it managed to get even weirder, but not in a similar way to the earlier episodes. Bit of a downturn IMO to be honest, but Fielder is so out there that it's hard to really say what seems normal or good. Definitely worth watching but it's probably helpful to know that it gets much less deadpan funny and kinda, I dunno, more navel-gazing in the second half.
Yep. It wasn't as funny as before but still had some good comedy. The whole Pakled plot was funny tho.@HornheaDD you watching S3 of Lower Decks?
It does indeed feel more like a bargain-bin riff on the original. Actors, sets, CG, everything just has a feel to it like HBO is not particularly confident that the show is gonna do well.GOT: House of the Dragon- Like everyone else I got pretty burned out on anything GOT related by the end of the original series so I wasn't exactly hyped about this. I'm glad I had low expectations because this is nowhere near as strong as the OG premier. It's lacking the strong and engaging characters out of the gate which was one of the things that made the original so watchable. The cast itself is also fairly weak and they seem to either be totally lacking in screen presence or overacting to a cartoonish degree. The sex and violence seems very forced and almost out of place as opposed to how natural it felt in the original. The CG as expected in still awful.
The main girl is creepy as fuck looking and it's really distracting. She looks like one of those freakish little kids from the Jim Carey Grinch movie.
I'm still willing to give it a shot because there is potential but that was a pretty lackluster premier.
I haven't started the new Harley Quinn season yet but I will get to it soon. But the good news is that the show was renewed for another season today, so it's not part of the mass cancellations that have been hitting WB lately.Anyone watch seasons 3 of Solar Opposites or Harley Quinn? SO is a guilty pleasure for me but I really enjoyed the first two seasons of HQ.
so, what you are telling me is that they rushed to finish GoT and give us shit for the final 2 seasons to give us a worse show? greaaaat.It does indeed feel more like a bargain-bin riff on the original.

I actually think it's the strongest season so far. There's some great references and top shelf mockery plus the characters are all all fully fleshed out so there's more for the writers to work with. It's starting to feel more like the later seasons of Venture Bros and less like a try hard edgey adult cartoon. The only real problem I have with it is with how much relationship stuff there is now but it's not enough to spoil the fun.Anyone watch seasons 3 of Harley Quinn?
In my opinion reading A Song of Ice and Fire lore like a textbook is more entertaining than actually watching some of these shows. There's only so much patience I have seeing somebody get banged in the background while two characters talk about some dialogue that may or may not matter. World building lore is great but how they deliver this is lackluster.so, what you are telling me is that they rushed to finish GoT and give us shit for the final 2 seasons to give us a worse show? greaaaat.
I went in with very low expectations and it exceeded it. I think it's an okay show 3 episodes in.In my opinion reading A Song of Ice and Fire lore like a textbook is more entertaining than actually watching some of these shows.

It was good but I feel pretty sad that I will never feel that same excitement as I had watching the first two or three seasons. That lightning in a bottle energy has long since gone.I thought the Rick and Morty premiere was pretty strong overall
It took them almost 10 years to put out 52 episodes. King of the Hill and Simpsons used to do that in under 2 years in their prime.It was good but I feel pretty sad that I will never feel that same excitement as I had watching the first two or three seasons.

I'll have to give the new season more of a chance then. The first episode of season 3 felt like such a slog.I actually think it's the strongest season so far.

God I hope WB didn't cancel the movie as well.So they’re working at light speed compared to the Venture Brothers production, eh?
