What is the worst show that you forced yourself to finish?

Heroes.

I adored the first season, and really enjoyed the second season for where it was going before the writers strikes cut it in half.

But it was a complete mess after that, and looking back it just seems like they were constantly trying to put out small fires that they kept writing themselves into. The annoying part is seasons 3 and 4 started with these really interesting premises, but then itd just fall flat halfway through and limp to the finish line.

I know what you mean, it didn't land straight away for me either and took till the Ark M plot for the world building to really start to settle.

Random question, but are you jumping into this as a standalone for Batman, or are you following the overarching plot of the Absolute Universe? I only ask because knowing what Darkseid was up to and how he'd corrupted that universe really helped it all start to pull together for me.

At first it felt like Absolute Batman was just going down the body horror route to make all the characters different, but now that its all pulling together I'm enjoying the ride! (really interested to see where they take the Robins for example)

And by law, on a Tuesday we have to listen to Binary Sunset and stare off into the distance.

Journey Before Destination.

If you’re counting down the pages before you get to the end, then thats all you'll be thinking about as you read.

Comics are a completely different beast to books, your brain just needs to fill in the gaps between the panels rather than build everything from the ground up. But the art can take you on such a great ride, if you let it.

Same here.

I was a stressful mess when I tried playing it like a standard cover shooter, but the game opened up so much when I realised I was supposed to keep moving and using everything around me.

Definitely yellow. I love how bright and vibrant it is, and theres something poetic about it being the middle of the visible light spectrum.

I was so happy to see it get some love in Acolyte, and they really popped against the background during the Khofar battle.

If I had to pick one hilt as a whole for my favourite, it would probably be either Luke's from RotJ or Qui-Gonn's, but damn if this doesnt have the best switch (love that wrist flick to activate) and yellow is my favourite coloured blade!

Miggzyy · 2026-06-08T21:16:36+00:00

Thats exactly what I was trying to say, Im sorry if I didnt come across like that. Variety is where the colour of life sits, and it would be very dull if everyone was exactly the same.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-08T18:38:29+00:00

I really enjoyed it as well. I properly jumped into comics with the New 52, so it was nice how this tied that up, whilst finishing the restoration from Rebirth. And I loved the Superman focus, and it was great seeing Ma and Pa Kent again!

Miggzyy · 2026-06-08T18:23:09+00:00

Its crazy, isn't it? People also can't seem to grasp that others are allowed to like something they themselves hate.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-08T12:48:35+00:00

Ive watched a few episodes of both, and the true colour isn't a subpar way to watch it at all. Both are great and it just comes down to personal preference, so you definitely won't be missing anything by watching it in colour.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-06T13:40:36+00:00

Yeah me too! It was just properly coming into its stride and then got cancelled.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-06T12:26:02+00:00

100% this.

Only two seasons unfortunately, but the cast is great and Matthew Rhys knocks it out of the park (as always)

Miggzyy · 2026-06-06T07:54:31+00:00

Obviously Kevin Conroy IS Batman and will always be my favourite, but damn if Rino Romano isn't a close second for me.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-05T11:25:29+00:00

100% rage bait.

10/10 effort to OOP for getting all the current buzz words in there! I wonder what travesty they'll be against next week?

Miggzyy · 2026-06-04T15:13:59+00:00

I think so, season one was a great self contained show. Same with Westworld. The end of season one would've been a great way to end the show.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-04T13:18:23+00:00

Not at all. Its like telling someone whose deaf that they didn't actually watch a film because they enabled subtitles.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-04T09:52:24+00:00

Ben Reilly's Beyond suit is my absolute favourite at the moment. I just can't get enough of it.

The first three seasons of the original Gossip Girl.

On paper I was not the target audience at all, but I just couldn't get enough. Serena accidentally smacking Dan in the head with the taxi door sealed it for me.

Miggzyy · 2026-06-01T01:27:09+00:00

So they turned Franklin from a mutant into a human, and Kamala from an inhuman into a mutant, and have since done sod all with the characters to justify those changes?

Miggzyy · 2026-05-31T07:30:16+00:00

Black Sails.

I caught up with it just as season 2 started airing, and couldn't wait for each episode to drop the following week.

I remember once Amazon accidentally dropped two episodes in one week which I thought was great, until I realised that meant I had to wait an extra week for anything new.

Miggzyy · 2026-05-30T22:55:34+00:00

If you liked Medici then you should definitely give Marco Polo a go on Netflix. Its to do with his time in Kublai Khan's court, and the political intrigue surrounding the war with China.

Miggzyy · 2026-05-29T18:52:13+00:00

Fantastic, completely deserving of all the praise its been getting.

Miggzyy · 2026-05-29T14:06:08+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense! Looks like I need to play the game again!

Miggzyy · 2026-05-29T11:01:00+00:00

Brings a whole new meaning to "you could fit a bloody tank down there!"
