was that the frenchified version?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Yes it is.

It started well, then went downhill a bit, and ended without really explaining anything.
Apparently though, there is a Season 2 coming, which will hopefully clear things up a bit.

The man behind The Mandalorian, Jon Favreau, is already writing the third season.
Production on season two, due late in 2020, wrapped up before the coronavirus forced productions to shutdown.

Quote:
Academy Award® winner Taika Waititi, who recently won Best Adapted Screenplay for Jojo Rabbit and directed the widely-acclaimed first season finale episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+, will direct and co-write a new Star Wars feature film for theatrical release.

Joining Waititi on the screenplay will be Academy Award® nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, Last Night in Soho), who received a BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film of the Year on the three-time Oscar-winning film, 1917.

In addition, Emmy®-nominated writer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Bachelorette) is currently developing a new untitled Star Wars series for Disney+. Headland will write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner for the series, which adds to a growing list of Star Wars stories for Disney’s streaming platform including The Mandalorian, now in post-production on Season Two, and two other previously announced series: one based on Cassian Andor’s life prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and another following the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi between Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope.

Release dates for both Waititi’s and Headland’s projects have not yet been announced.

I don't know where to start. It completely ruined Star Wars in every regard and is an abomination. It is that bad that somebody needs to invent a time machine and go back in time and stop it from being made.

New BSG series in the pipeline. I am not sure how I feel about this. Even if it is good do we really need it? It pains me to think that the "new" series is 17 years old but it is so good in terms of story and production quality that we don't need a remake/reboot imho. There are plenty of more deserving series I can think of.

Chris 05-05-2020 10:28
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
I know we all want the Star Wars saga films to look like a perfectly consistent nine-chapter epic but the reality is that they are three separate trilogies produced decades apart, in the wrong order, and with no clear forward-looking concept, within each trilogy, of the story outside of itself and its predecessors. They were all made according to the storytelling techniques and the movie-making fashions of the time with the single exception of Episode IV which pretty much invented movie-making techniques then eschewed storytelling fashion in order to tell its story in a way that was considered extremely old-school at the time.

Nonetheless there are certain conventions within star wars saga storytelling and The Last Jedi plays around with them a bit. It makes for an unsettling, bleak tale, but I think it is the direction V was going in, and might have gone further towards had the conventions of the time allowed it. Giving the heroes a good kicking at every turn and leaving everything unresolved at the end was very brave for a family film in 1980, even if they were at that point assured of the chance to complete the story with another film.

There are plenty of deliberate nods towards V in The Last Jedi and in many ways its possible to view the two stories as flip sides of the same coin. Did Rian Johnson push it too far in one direction, forcing Disney to beg JJ Abrams to 'repair' the franchise with a grand finale? Maybe. But I still think TLJ is an excellent, thought-provoking piece of cinema, and a good example of the strengths of permitting different storytelling approaches within a shared universe.

Anyway, back to the topic.

I'm delighted to hear that Taika Waititi is getting a star wars feature film gig. He deserves it on the strength of Mandalorian part 8 alone. And also Thor Ragnarok, which is one of my favourite MCU films.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
The new Fox show NeXt will debut in the autumn (on Mondays, 9pm) as part of the Fox schedule announced yesterday.

It was originally expected in the summer, but Fox held it back due to the current virus situation meaning they have no new production atm.

The one good idea in TLJ was that anyone could be a Jedi, that Rey was indeed “Rey from nowhere” the very last scene with that kid and the broom. Showing that the new rebellion will come from those unseen and unknown.

TRoS binned that and made Rey part of a dynasty.

TRoS, although not terrible, was no where near as good as it might have been, indeed TLJ could have been the springboard for new direction of movies and not have been constrained to the 9 movie arc.

Anyway the best Star Wars movie O/S of the original trilogy is Rogue One. so there!

l thought the original series with David Carradine as the lead was superb as l remember being to glued to it when it came on TV.

l will give the new series a go and reserve my judgement until then.;)

Never heard of it but it sounds good. I love stuff like this if it is done well.

Quote:
A quarter-life crisis causes a young Chinese-American woman to drop out of college and go on a life-changing journey to an isolated monastery in China. But when she returns to find her hometown overrun with crime and corruption, she uses her martial arts skills and Shaolin values to protect her community and bring criminals to justice…all while searching for the assassin who killed her Shaolin mentor and is now targeting her

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
CW has announced their Autumn & Winter schedule, and its going to look very different.

The Outpost will be on Thursday, at 9pm
The rest of Supernatural will also be on Thursday, at 8pm

They have picked up Swamp Thing to air Tuesday, at 8pm.

Other Autumn shows include Dead Pixels, Coroner & Masters of Illusion.


Then its all change for Jan 2021 ;

Monday
9pm : Black Lightning

Tuesday
8pm The Flash
9pm : Superman and Lois (New)

WEDNESDAY
8pm : Riverdale
9pm : Nancy Drew

THURSDAY
8pm : Walker (New)

Kung Fu (New)
Legends of Tomorrow
In the Dark
Roswell New Mexico
Supergirl

---------- Post added at 01:29 ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 ----------

They have not announced any renewal for Katy Keene (probably because no one watches it).

The CW has also stated that the 'Arrow' and 'The 100' spin-offs shows are still alive, as well as a planned reboot of The Lost Boys.

General Maximus 15-05-2020 11:24
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Good idea to give them a bit of breathing room. Schedule wise they can easily catch up because they can run the series through constantly every week, without any of the usual padding gaps, till May which is the end fall season and then it will bring them back in sync for a normal September/October start. Tbh I would rather them do that anyway. Some series have ridiculous 6-8 week mid-season breaks over xmas and then have 2-3 gaps between eps after that in February and March. I would rather them have distinct windows when one series runs September - December and finishes for xmas and then you get another series that runs January - April ish. I think what they are planning to do with The Walking Dead franchise epitomises my point, there will always be one series on air.

Netflix may have accidently leaked the release date of Lucifer Season 5.
Viwers looking up Season 4 saw a message stating Season 5 Episode 1 was was coming up on August 21st.

They have since removed it again, but most suspect it will be confirmed.
Still no official news on Season 6, even though everyone seems to believe its going to happen.

Not sure if it's way back in the thread somewhere but I've just picked up 'Upload' on Prime.

Wouldn't call it my usual type of show but it's been fantastic. The trailer doesn't do enough. Show kinda gives me the quirky Eureka or WH13 comedy vibe.

cimt 29-06-2020 09:12
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Yeah I think I mentioned it. It is actually a lot better than it had any right to be really. I never though of Eureka or WH13 but I suppose you're right with that.

It's only a few hour watch. I would recommend giving the first 3 a try.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Yeah that's something that caught me. The drop to 25-27 minutes after the initial 45 minute opener. It works though. Enough gets done in the short time to work. It progresses quickly enough to keep you interested so the format works.

Disney+ has ordered a follow-up to Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch will follow the clone group first introduced in the clone wars season 7.

Quote:
The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch – a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.
Season 1 will be available in 2021.

His Dark Materials Season 2 will only be 7 episodes.

They were unable to film a planned 8th episode due to the CV19 shutdown.

Witcher prequel series in the works:

Quote:
Netflix wants to give its subscribers a deeper look into the universe of The Witcher TV series. The streaming service has ordered a six-episode series that will delve into the world of the first Witcher.

According to Netflix, The Witcher: Blood Origin will be set 1,200 years before the time of Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia and will tell the tale of the “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.

Indeed, I wasnt sure what I would make of Witcher, but despite being slow to start, it was a good series.

There wasn't enough character development or action in it for me. Ep 1 was the best and it went downhill from there. If it had aired during the normal tv season and I had other stuff to watch I would have given up on it early on.

The missing episode was to be an excursus into the backstory of Lord Asriel. It does not seem to have been an integral part of the retelling of The Subtle Knife, which is Pullman’s 2nd HDM book and which is the basis for season 2 of the tv series. It looks like they exhausted the book’s material after 7 episodes and planned an eighth just to fill the schedule. I suspect they will only feel motivated to revisit it later if a significant amount of production was already complete, and if any of the future seasons come up short.

A Discovery of Witches returns for Season 2 in 'Early' January 2021.

No official date, but TV Maze has it listed for Mondays (so 4th or 11th), they also state the season will be 10 Episodes.

Netflix is advertising 28 August for seasons 1 and 2 of Cobra Kai appearing on the platform.

Brill, I was hoping season 3 would move to a mainstream provider. Just like The Expanse, series like this deserve international distribution. Who hasn't heard of and love The Karate Kid. Having to pay for it on youtube was too restrictive and once it is available on Netflix there will be a massive surge in popularity. They are doing the right thing by making seasons 1 and 2 available first.

After 1 & 2 I lost interest too. But if you're willing to watch something being flogged to death who am I to argue.

After the end of Supernatural, Jensen Ackles is moving on to join The Boys for Season 3.

He will play the original SuperHero (known as Soldier Boy).

This is where the BBC make mistakes. This is one of the best tv series ever made and they have struck gold if they have got the broadcast rights to it. It should be shown as primetime tv around 6 ish.

The 1998 series was better. The 2004 series was a reboot, lasted longer but to me was lacking.

It’s wholly unsuitable for broadcast before the 9pm watershed. It is also unlikely to be of mass-audience appeal in the U.K - those that are interested in it will seek it out. It was originally broadcast on Sky One and has never been free-to-air anywhere so there will easily be enough of an audience to justify the slot it’s been given. Heck I might even tune in for it ... I started re-watching it on Prime some months ago but as is their way they took it off Prime Inclusive long before I got all the way through it.

I preferred the 1978 series as well.

The follow up [Galatica 1980] was dumb.

For those of you who don't know Battlestar Galactica is part of a shared universe with Tenet and series' producers are inverted.

Chris 27-08-2020 09:29
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Is there any story crossover?

General Maximus 27-08-2020 18:27
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
It was my poor attempt at a joke. Presumably Pip made a typo saying the first season of BSG was made in 1998 and the follow up (1980) was somehow made prior to it so I said the show's producers are inverted (moving backwards in time) because that is the theme of Tenet.

I did make a typo. The original Battlestar Galactica was 1978.;)

Britbox showing classic sci-fi.. . Captain scarlet, Thunderbirds, Space 1999, Joe 90, Stingray etc. Might be worth a trail run.
