New Shows

[philstar22]

What new tv shows have you liked/disliked?

So far I have liked All Rise, Batwoman, Bluff City Law, Pearson, and Stumptown.

I disliked Catherine the Great, which was surprising considering she's one of my favorite historical figures played by an amazing actress.

Perfect Harmony was not funny.

Evil was a toss up. I'm going to give it a few episodes, but I haven't watched episode 2 yet.

Re: New Shows

[(Anonymous)]

The main thing I'm looking for from Perfect Harmony is Bradley Whitford reaction gifs.

I liked e1 of Evil a lot I need to get around to episode 2

Re: New Shows

[(Anonymous)]

I watched Batwoman and I liked it a lot and I really really really want it to have a good fandom

imo everyone go watch Batwoman if you like Batwoman

Re: New Shows

[(Anonymous)]

I liked Stumptiwn. I meant to watch Batwoman but forgot it was on. I have a family thing next Sunday so I'll have to wait for ep 3.

Re: New Shows

Perfect Harmony was not that good, but it wasn't terrible.

Carol's Second Act was pretty bad, I thought.

I'm still on the fence about Evil, but I think the first episode was better than the second - though there was an interesting conclusion on the miracle.

I really like Prodigal Son, even if they disregard a lot when it comes to realism in law and enforcement procedure - like, in an action movie sort of way.

Chernobyl. Stunningly good - probably the best TV series I've ever seen. The sense of horror, the burning sky... I was well out of the way of it, in Wales, and I still remember that feeling of doom. The series got that perfectly.

Re: Fandom / Entertainment Chat

I swore I wouldn't watch anything new this year, yet somehow got sucked into Prodigal Son. It got a full 22-episode order today, so fortunately I don't have to worry about it getting cancelled for a while yet.

Fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I might just be being paranoid, but... I just came across a fic. Not in English, under 500 words, 0 comments, 1 bookmark, about 5 kudos from logged-in users... and over 2,000 kudos from guests.
Would someone really use bots to get kudos on their very mediocre smut oneshot? Or is this one work just really bafflingly popular with a very specific subset of AO3 visitors?

Re: Fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

Might be bots, might be a weird glitch, probably not real kudos.

This is definitely a thing that happens sometimes though.

Re: Fanfic

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with the other anon on it being a glitch. I would think that if they were going to bot kudos, they'd try and fake a few comments/bookmarks as well.
People probably do use bots or fake accounts to boost their fics, I'd imagine. Some writers put a lot of weight their numbers, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them try to cheat the count.

I would love it if the kudo count on that fic was legit though, it'd be some effective brainwashing!

What is the dumbest thing you've seen someone do recently?

Some people make you wonder how they have survived this long.

Express shock that there are doctors in Japan. While living in Japan. (They only moved here a month or so ago, but even so... and not to mention not knowing that to begin with.)

DA

...wow. That's...sad.

Me: I'm expecting a package and--
Mail lady: That not for you.
Me: I know it isn't, it's the wrong size. I was going to ask if you got any others.
Mail lady: That not for you!
Me: I just said I know that one isn't because it's the wrong size, did you get any other packages?

My stepfather is just like this daily. The thing that gets me most is how he always uses scissors or anything sharp pointed towards himself or his other hand. He's injured himself multiple times doing this, and I stop and correct him every time I see it, but HE STILL DOES IT. I had to drive him to hospital because he cut through the tendon on his non-dominant hand once and had to have surgery. STILL DOES IT.

He somehow completed a Masters program at University.

The dumbest is the whole situation involving the Karnes detention center. It was holding women, now it will be holding families. So they moved all the women out to different detention centers. Only they didn't tell the courts where they moved them. And the courts have decided that this means they are just going to pretend like nothing has been filed for these clients and we'll have to file everything new once we find out where they are being held now. Only they didn't actually tell anyone this.

Like, we had a bond application that was filed in early September. Only found out today that a new one would have to be filed because I went to the court to ask what was going on because no one would tell us anything over the phone.

They do as little work as possible basically. It is ridiculous. The different government branches can communicate. They know where the immigrants are located because they were able to schedule new judges and hearing dates. There is no reason for them to be doing this other than sheer laziness.

Driving to work on a four lane highway. I have to use a crossover median to get to my road. One of these basic ones.



So, I turn into the median and yield for a car going down the highway. This person STOPS in the middle of the highway. I make the universal 'The fuck you doing' hand motions and they gesture for me to cross. I gesture for them to keep going but they just keep motioning my to cross. I thought it might have been one of my coworkers. But it wasn't. Just a crazy person.

I've noticed older people do the same thing when I go on walks.
