And what, exactly, is wrong with Repo!?

Actually you don't need to answer that, I've had plenty of people explain to me in an array vivid and colourful ways exactly why Repo is a giant pile of shit. But I don't care, I still love it to death.

Alright...maybe a small submersible.

Edit: I think a nuke might be a bit overkill and the fallout probably wouldn't be a good thing.

I have a hard time believing a couple pounds of C4 somewhere along the spine under the skin or better yet at the brainstem couldn't take him down. At least paralize him enough so he'll stop knocking over the damn buildings for 5 minutes.

Well... doing some more fake math in my head.

This is a blue whale heart:

Scale that up proportionally...

Yeah, you could probably free swim pretty comfortably through Godzillas larger veins.

Doing some rough fake math in my head, that ballistic would be roughly the size of a BB..maaaybe a paintball to Godzilla.

I mean just thinking it through, anything big enough to just brute force take him out (nukes, bombing the SHIT out of New York or whatever it takes) could only lead to Pyrrhic victory. It would decimate everything. I "think" (hope) what he's going for with the drop team is more of a strike team thing that can slip in unnoticed get close enough to Godzilla to inflict some sort of damage to take him out.

But then for all we know, the drop team could be the 5 minute cold open at the beginning that all get squashed like mosquitoes out of mid air.

It's a damn cool visual though whatever it ends up being for.

"...a maaaaster..."

Oh god, the suppressed sarcasm, you could cut it with a knife, it's painful.

Yep, my anticipation level for DoS hasn't changed since I walked out of the theater for the first one. Not interested, probably see it when my parents buy it on blurry and I stumble across it in the house a year and a half from now.

Carol and George!

Threshold-

I watched the first episode of Threshold here a couple weeks ago and, predictably, got busy and forgot to write this up.

I had been wanting to watch Threshhold for a while now, it stars Carla Gugino, Brent Spiner and Peter Dinklage so needless to say really.

It's your fairly standard "Alien thing is found so the ragtag team of troubled scientists is assembled by the "worst case scenario" person to go investigate!", there's definitely a very strong Sphere influence here.

Obviously I've only seen the first episode so far so I can't really speak to the larger story or things at work. But so far, it hasn't really impressed too much. There's some interesting ideas at work, the design of the alien craft is pretty cool. But unfortuantely it's buried under so much ham-fisted and on the nose writing it becomes almost painful to watch at times.

Most of the inter-character dialouge is an as-you-know extravaganza, and the entire show really feels like it was written by someone who's only understanding of the human race was learned from wikipedia. The (loosely used term here) "science" is surface level at it's best. And I don't say that in the typical sci-fi "oh that can't do that" way, but it feels like the scientific concepts/interpersonal relationships are all understood in a very shallow way and executed even more poorly, like my sci-fi fan fic I wrote at 15 got turned into a fully produced show.

All that said though, I am probably going to give it a few more episodes to see where it goes. Plus Dinklage and Spiner are great and I love watching them do thier thing. (Dinklage as the kinda scuzzy womanizer who also happens to be a genious is absolutely hilarious to watch)

So as of episode 1, I would say unless you're like me and have a great love for weird Alien disvovery stories, Dinklage and Spiner, you can probably pretty safely avoid this. I'll report back if anything changes.

Farscape- (Rewatching)-

I was in a really weird mood last week, just in one of these really apathetic but still want something to watch moods. So I was just flipping through Netflix trying to find something, stumbled across Farscape, thought meh, what the hell, flipped through to a random season, picked a random episode and hit play.

And now I'm rewatching it.

Little bit of back story of me and farscape. I started watching Farscape in High School (probably 2008ish or so) so it had already long come and gone. I watched it all and absolutely loved the hell out it, it's decidedly among my favorite shows of all time. I've tried rewatching it a few times over the years, I always get about 1/2-3/4 the way through season one and fizzle out. Don't get me wrong, season 1 is great, but there isn't much to really sink your teeth into on a rewatch. So I've seen most of season 1, 3-4 times.

So back to last week. Turns out the episode I picked was the first half of a 2 parter near the beginning of season 3.

And OH MY GOD YOU GUYZ THIS SHOW. Holy crap. I had forgotten just truly how amazing it is.

I feel like I'm watching a lot of this for the first time. (I remember the broad strokes of the story, and that's about it as it turns out). It is fantastically twisted, bizarre... the episode I watched last night had about %30 of it done as a looney tunes cartoon... and yet there is something so deeply human about it. It's unlike anything I've ever seen.

Farscape was made by Jim Henson Productions and had full access to the Henson workshop, so the aliens are truly alien in a way I've never seen before or since. There is something so amazing about having this massive alien beasts be there, really, truly there, that you really can't get with a CG creature, no matter how good the effects. And I think in large part due to the creature shop the world feels lived in, real, yet still entirely alien.

On a story telling level it absolutely blows me away with how extreme they can go with absolute bizarrity and soul crushing humanity (often at the same time) and still get away with it 100 percent. It's absolutely fantastic.

Definitely a must watch for any sci-fi fan... or anyone really.

Plus... and I'm just throwing it out there....Claudia Black in tight leather clothing... yeeeep.

Just finished it and now I just want to keep going...uuuugh, this is gonna be painful spreading it out over 2 months.

And I totally would have just grabbed that entire jar of Jelly Bellys and sat on the couch slowly devouring them over the 24 hours. It would've been bad.

I won't go so far as to say I really liked it, but I definitely surprised at how much I liked it. Dammit, I really just need to do a write up for it. All right, imma do a write up for the last movie you watched thread.

Honestly Monster U, The Croods and Escape From Planet Earth are some of my favorite animated movies from the last few years.
