They do upgrade the ship to modern standards. But the whole floaty nascelle thing looks daft.

And frankly? There’s no Culture Shock. Language drift is of course neatly covered by Universal Translators. But 1,000 years of technological advancement and the crew just…y’know…..sort of learn it with no bother? Nah.

That’s like expecting a Norman to just get on with a computer. And not freak out. Or even first gain a rudimentary understanding of the basics.

Season 4 I couldn’t watch all of. So perhaps there are answers I’ve not seen. But even so?

Bloody hell.

Last episode of HBO Max’s Task just finished.

Much like the excellent Mare of Easttown(also HBO), it ends a dark, violent story on somber but heartfelt notes. Everyone involved is on their A game, and Mark Ruffalo might win an award imo. The cinemtography makes me want to visit Delaware County Pennsylvania.

9/10, a little slow in places, the family drama of Ruffalo’s character kind of dragged on but it did have a powerful pay off. Overall a very good modern day cops and robbers miniseries.

Do you think there's going to be a sequel series?

Possible, but I highly doubt it. It felt like pretty much every character had some form of closure and there were no loose threads. It had the same vibe of The Night Of, Mare of Easttown, We Own This City and on and on. All are great mini-series with a self-contained story.

I think the “prestige” mini-series format is probably HBO’s current bread and butter, with the occasional pop-culture relevant ongoing series during peak viewing season(if such a thing still exists).

Mad Doc's zombie thread reminded me that I hadn't posted a review of Talamasca: The Secret Order. I enjoyed the sneak peek airing last weekend with it setting up the backgrounds for the lead characters and connecting it to the other shows (it's always nice to see Eric Bogosian's Daniel Molloy). Here's hoping that they keep the little Easter Eggs like the one they had in the sneak peek

Helen: We watch vampires, witches, ghosts and demons...
Guy: ... and zombies?
Helen: Zombies don't exist. You've been watching ro much telly.

As this airs on AMC, it was a nice inside joke about that other franchise on AMC

Lie to Me

Entirely inoffensive. I think I mostly just like to watch Tim Roth in action
