Television

Started watching Silo last week and am trying to pace myself through it, but pretty quickly I got wrapped up into it. This scratches the Lost itch I've been wanting. Also picked up the first two books to just go ahead and dive all in to the whole thing. But I want to try to savor the season a little bit.

Also started Abbott Elementary after hearing about it so much. I gotta admit my expectations were kinda low. I don't know the last time a main network comedy was that good, but...yeah the hype is real here. I loved it with the first episode. Already onto season 2. This is the best network comedy I've seen in such a long time.

I went through them too! I just have Leviathan Falls remaining. I put it aside to savor it later. Going through the short stories in Memories Legion first. The books are really great! Loved them all. The two I've read past the TV show remain very high quality. Was kind of fun not knowing exactly where you're heading. Can't sing enough praises about it.

I keep meaning to ask this here, but could anyone who watched the Across the Sea ep of this new Black Mirror season tell me whether they explain why the astronauts are sent into space with robots on earth, and not vice-versa? Seems like they could've saved a lot of grief. Good episode overall.

I thought this exact same thing. Kind of a weird episode overall.

Good question, I wonder if it's due to the fact that if their human selves on earth died, their robot would be useless. Whereas if the robot was destroyed (as seen), their human selves can still carry out the mission.

From an ethical standpoint it seems more sensible to risk losing a robot than risk losing a whole-ass human being. But this is Black Mirror, I suppose.

I know many people are of the opinion that they'd rather a show end early than drag on and on. But Reservation Dogs and Atlanta are both shows I feel could have at least done one or two more seasons. Bummed it's ending. I just got into it this year, but it's such a fresh show I don't know of anything else like it. Felt similarly with Atlanta.
 
I just learned that Paper Girls was canceled by Amazon. I have been awaiting season 2 since season 1 debuted.

It looks like there are many people who are not happy about the cancelation of this show, and that it was beloved by scifi fans.

The reason for the cancelation was that it never broke into the top 10 shows on the charts in the united states and only for 1 day in the UK.

I think they cancelled it a few weeks after season 1 was finished. We really liked it.

Yeah. It’s a bummer. We discussed it on here when Amazon announced the cancellation probably over a year ago at this point. The show great too bad we didn’t get to see where it was heading.

Do you read comics? because IMO Brian K Vaughan’s book was even better than the series (the art in particular is amazing).

I think there was some mention that Amazon wasn't the only stakeholder so there was a chance it could get shopped around. I still search #PaperGirls on Twitter every now and again in hope of rumblings.

The failure is hugely on Amazon since the show got next to no promo. My guess is it needed to do really well considering where S1 ends is exactly where the cost of production would necessitate a huge budgetary bump if it followed the comics.
