Television

We quite enjoyed the Stranger Thing Finale episodes last night. So many things overdone just like the real 80's! :p

Long Live Eddie in infamy shredding to the mutant bats, that was wicked!
My non spoiler opinion of S4 parts 1 and 2 - I really enjoyed it overall but my goodness was it way too long! They easily could have made every episode in part 1 under an hour and part 2 could/should have been two 90 minute episodes. Still - fantastic season with amazing music and I love seeing the kids get older.

Anyone caught a release date for the S04 Dixon/Stein original soundtrack btw ?

My feelings exactly. It was like they felt EVERY character from seasons 1-3 needed a story arc and that each arc needed equal representation and screen time. Still really enjoyed part 1, but I need to spread part 2 over the week since it is over 4hrs
 

In addition to this, select HBO originals were removed from HBO MAX.

HBO original, Vinyl was one of the victims of original content being pulled from HBO MAX
Yeah, I saw this. Sounds like they are selling off thing to rein in costs. I wonder if the expensive music rights made Vinyl a casualty. I don’t think it will be missed by many.
 
anyone watch Station Eleven? Really fantastic adaptation.
I started it right after I finished the book, which was probably too soon. I watched two or maybe three episodes and was kind of bored with it, even though I really liked the book. I'll give it another whirl soon.
 
my only criticism was that the final season felt a bit rushed ..needed a few more episodes imo
Personally I think it’s one of the greatest tv shows ever
I agree with both points...I was trying to remember how shocked I was in certain events the first time I viewed it. (once the show was beyond the books)
Like...
Littlefinger's quick trial and death. So awesome, and a holy shit moment.
I liked them well enough the first go around and don't see that changing.
I enjoyed the re-watch quite a bit. Most times when I couldn't remember what happened to a certain character, in the moments before it would come back to me. Like, ohhh yeah...THAT'S how that went.
 
It's really beautifully directed, and I appreciate the way it shifts between storylines and time periods and only slowly reveals how they are woven together.
I was worried that it was gonna be more of “art saves humanity” type story but it was more about hope in the a time of despair. Completely agree on the direction, cinematography, and storyboarding. Sometimes the time jumps like that can be gimmicky but never felt that way here. HBO knows how to make beautiful TV.
