That was actually one of my least favourite of the shorts, even though I usually like werewolves. Mostly because it was kinda bland? And there was something weird about the animation of the (human) faces. The eyes. There was just something that didn't look right.

(My favourite werewolf design is still Van Helsing, with the flowing mane of fur)

[silverr]

IA. The werewolf effects were good, but I found the story meh.

(Lucky 13, otoh... I'm not usually one for "military" stories, but that one was one of my favs; exciting and got me in the feels. An interesting contrast to Shape Shifters.)

I ADORED Lucky 13, but I always had a huge thing for 'if you look out for the ship, the ship looks out for you'. The whole ending to that had me in bits.

[silverr]

Same. It was excellent storytelling.

(I stopped reading reviews for the series after seeing the kudos that... certain other episodes got, while L13 was dismissed as "skippable." Imma like what imma like.)

I haven't read any reviews. I watched it because I saw a gifset from "Good Hunting" and thought the show looked cool. Which episodes do most of them like/dislike?

[silverr]

One review seemed to think "The Witness" was six kinds of awesome; another one proclaimed "Blue Zima" the best of the lot. (I thought "Fish Night" had cooler visuals, but YMMV.)

FWIW, nearly everyone (including me) liked the three Scalzi ones ("Three Robots," the yogurt one, and "Alternative History").

ETA: the two reviews I recall looking at—
https://www.tvguide.com/news/love-death-robots-episode-ranking-review/
https://www.cbr.com/review-love-death-robots/

—though neither of those rank "the Witness" as the best of the bunch (and I know I saw a review somewhere that did.)

[(Anonymous)]

I think The Witness was the most visually interesting of the bunch and thought it should be regarded as something else entirely than the other shorts. I thought it told a story in the sense that a painting tells a story, but that was not its primary function. Idk, it's pretty much something that I'd never seen before.

I think it's hard to pick a favorite, I have many for different reasons. As a horror story I LOVED Beyond the Aquila Rift and I think Blue Zima was the next deepest perhaps at risk of seeming a bit pretentious (still think Alan Moore did it better in Watchmen...) As a satire I liked The Dump at most, but joghurt and robots were neat too.

Lucky 13 kicked ass. Poussey!!
(That is me being too lazy to look up the marvelous actor who played the pilot. I mostly just know her from Orange is the New Black.)

[silverr]

Samira Wiley, I think?

I still loved it to bits. Even the fights held my interest and had me biting my fist (I'm usually bored by such scenes).

Amazing how much story and characterization you can fit into 15 minutes.

[tabaqui]

Yes! I just loved how bad ass she was without being 'masculine', and how totally cool in general the idea of an inanimate object having some kind of sentience because someone loved them (believed in, care for, take your pick).

[silverr]

It was a nice change to see someone quietly competent treated with respect.

[tabaqui]

Yes! And no 'chick trying to be like a guy' type comments.

I am satisfied overall with the series'treatment of women, bar the unnecessary sex scenes.
