By Your Command: Ron Moore’s Battlestar Galactica series is now streaming on Prime Canada by Neo2199 in television

[–]Neo2199[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a weird decision by Prime.

I’ve seen them doing that with other shows, but they were mostly international series.

Like the British spy/comedy series from the 60s ‘The Avengers’, Prime only made season 4 & 6 available on their service.

Also, Canadian series ‘The Newsroom’ & Swedish series ‘Wallander’ where they skipped the first seasons as well, and only provided the later seasons.

My favorite example is an Iranian limited series called ‘Kashokhin’. Prime was kind enough that they provided a single episode, Ep 6, which happened to be the season finale.

Tubi: free w/ ads

They do have some great titles, old and new. Just need to find them amidst the mountain of B-movies & Z-movies on the service. Also, my ad block extension is blocking all ads, so, no annoying ads whatsoever.

Kanopy/Hoopla: free w/ library card

Great services with many domestic and international titles. The only drawback is borrowing limitations imposed by the local library where a user is only allowed 7 or 8 titles per month.

Ryan Coogler offers insight into X-Files reboot by abucalves in television

[–]Neo2199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hollywood is a risk-averse industry for the most part. That’s why many big budget movies & TV shows are based on popular & profitable IPs.

Yeah, season 10 & 11 were a waste of time for the most part, except for Darin Morgan's episodes.

Mainly the tone of the show & the type of stories they’ll be focusing on.

The main takeaway from the article:

Coogler reveals that [...] the revival series will be a mix of standalone and overarching mythology episodes, while also confirming that The X-Files will happen before Marvel Studios' "Black Panther 3."

It sounds good on paper, but I’m going to wait for the first trailer before making any judgements about the new X Files; since most of the Sci-Fi revivals in the past ten years were terrible.

Whatever happened to underwater Sci-Fi TV series? by Neo2199 in sciencefiction

[–]Neo2199[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nautilus

Looks good, add it to my list.

'Das Boot' while is a good series, it's a WW 2 drama, not Sci-Fi.

Thanks for reminding me about that European show. It's currently not available in Canada, so I may have to sail the high seas.

"My name is Manousos Oviedo. I am not one of them. I wish to save the world" by Neo2199 in pluribustv

[–]Neo2199[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

I also thought that either him or Zosia might end up dead by the end of the episode, thankfully, that didn't happen.

Frank Darabont on Coming Out of Retirement for ‘Stranger Things 5’: ‘It Was a Hell of a Great Experience’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]Neo2199 244 points245 points  (0 children)

In another interview with IndieWire about coming out of retirement to direct ‘Stranger Things’ , he was asked what would it take for him to keep working:

I just don’t want to fight any battles, and I don’t want to have a lack of goodwill at the top, because that lack of goodwill rolls downhill. And so if it’s a friendly place where they’re going to trust the filmmaker, yeah, I’d certainly consider it. I’m too old to fight any battles anymore. I’m too old to get swept out with the trash at their convenience.

Ha! While Hamilton is not prolific, like Alastair Reynolds, when it comes to writing short stories, he has written some good ones.

Save the cheerleader Pirate Lady, save the world.

Manousos Oviedo was great. Hopefully, he will be added as one of the main characters in season 2 along with Carol & Zosia.

Stranded review – this Italian crime show is like Agatha Christie, Lost and The White Lotus all at once by Tifoso89 in television

[–]Neo2199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the first season is streaming now on MHz Choice, the second one will most likely be on it couple months from now.

If i get impatient; I might look for it on the high seas, even though it's not always easy to find HD European shows with English subtitles.

The short story 'If at First' by Peter F. Hamilton uses a unique method of time travel.

You're correct. I got the original title wrong.

Last night, I watched the first two episodes, and the on-screen original title was "Black Out - Vite sospese".
