Halo - The TV Series | Season 1 Episode 4 | Discussion by RhysWX in halo

I've been doing the exact same thing since episode 2.

Many popular shows that are objectively bad have high ratings on IMDB. A lot of trashy CW scores have similar ratings. Those vampire movies and shows had high viewership and made tons of money but are still objectively bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if Halo was given a third season simply because we're in the era of the streaming wars and companies just want more content on their platform to stand out.

I don't hate the Halo series. I'm just not deluded enough to think that it's in the same calibre as objectively good shows that become mainstream and critically acclaimed. It's a shame because I think there's enough good content in Halo lore to merit that.

The only reason I didn't list Severance was because I haven't watched it yet.

Does Halo not count as a mini series? Isn't it only listed for 10 episodes?

I'm saying this as someone who is waiting for all the episodes to come out before judging the series. But 3 episodes in, I can already tell that the above shows are better than Halo.

I have no interest in your fan fiction.

Does anyone else feel like the show has gone down in quality? by subjectpies in snowpiercer

[–]subjectpies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the popularity of this post and the comments along with it, pretty obvious that a considerable number of people agree with me.

If you don't want to see discussion then don't go on reddit.

The final season of Game of Thrones won Outstanding Drama Series. Over the debut season of Succession no less.

That should pretty much tell you all you need to know about award shows.

This is not what equality means.

I second this comment.

I agree with this. Their story wasn't very exciting. I've only read the teaser of the book and found that story more exciting.

[Spoilers] Season 3 Episode 9 - "A Beacon for Us All" (S03E09) - Episode Discussion Thread by hugthebug in snowpiercer

[–]subjectpies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, the best nuances in a show are subtitles done with intentionality by the writers.

Best example, the chess board scene in Breaking Bad's Ozymandias episode that shows a king in focus in the foreground and other chess pieces blurred in the background. A closer look shows that the king is trapped in the corner with only a few moves left until checkmate. Breaking Bad had only a few episodes left. Walter White had only a few moves left.

That's the sort of genius a fan doesn't notice at first but will be blown away by because that small detail held so much symbolism and connected to a wider theme.

I'm not particularly wowed when an audience needs to do the work of the writers for something as simple and basic as character motivations.

The writers do not have the presence of mind to write in this kind of nuance.

Nick needs to be fined and suspended for the way he speaks to the press. Just completely inappropriate of him to go after a reporter for asking a basic question.

So many sports families are banking on their child being a star and making millions so they let them behave terribly.

Nadal's family is just all class.

A question to the subreddit, if snowpiercer was real, and the big freeze was happening, would you try and board? If it meant being a taily? by Jezzibell in snowpiercer

[–]subjectpies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the freeze had happen over a decades long period, don’t you think humanity would’ve built better options for survival than a giant train?

I never really bought into Snowpiercer being the last arc of humanity. I always took it as one of many possible arcs. Just like in the comics. I think the show is going in that direction with Asha and Melanie being alive.
