As am I, it has 2 great actors as lead.

It sounds more like a nostalgic anniversary guest appearance than a meaningful recurring role. They need to be careful that they don't upset the new dude and he spits his dummy out.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Marvel Television’s output was of variable quality to be sure, but the stuff they made for Netflix was generally at the upper end of the scale. And now Marvel TV has been wound down and the main studios operation is responsible for straight-to-TV material, with properly-considered tie-in to the MCU, I should think it will only get better. They have confirmed both Kingpin and Matt Murdock, as played by Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox, as fully MCU canon, but crucially we are several years on from the end of the last Netflix series and also post-blip. Kingpin was last seen on Netflix being taken back to prison but now he’s out and as powerful as ever. There are some good stories to be told, and now they have the prospect of other MCU characters showing up in them.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I suppose it makes it much more likely Kingpin survived the events in Hawkeye.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

In the comics, Kate Bishop and Kingpin have an ongoing adversarial relationship and the fight sequence in the season finale of Hawkeye already showed how hard Kingpin is to kill.

He is a major recurring villain in Marvel and the chances of him not making a comeback are close to zero.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I have never read any Marvel comics, but from reading many articles on them, it seems to me that they have been around so long that events in them often contradict themselves over time, and the TV shows rarely reflect them more than loosely.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

That’s true, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a distinct story environment from the comics. However, right from the outset it has often been possible to spot which comic book stories the movies are borrowing from. Sure, they don’t follow them slavishly but the film-makers are constantly dropping hints and Easter eggs which those sufficiently in-the-know can spot (I don’t claim to be one of those people!)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Disney sure are milking the Star Wars Franchise just hope they maintain the quality. I know a lot thought TBOBF was a poorer effort but I was ok with most of it just hope they can maintain it

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Given that they paid a cool $4 billion for the rights, they’re going to have to do more than just milk it. That cow will have to learn to sing and dance while juggling wheels of cheddar. And balancing on a high wire.

Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio will both reprise their roles [Daredevil, Kingpin] in the Disney Daredevil series in 2024.
Both are also set to appear in the the 2023 Echo series, and Cox will also [apparently] appear in the upcoming She-Hulk series next month.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Looking forward to the final Season 3 of Locke & Key, I hope they end it properly.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Yep, thats next on my list, finished Sandman last night.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I've still to watch Season 2 of Locke and Key, (it's on my to do list) and I was impressed by The Sandman, so much better than the trailer led to expections.

I have a feeling there is a season 2 in hand without an official announcement given given the hype of Jenna Craven's portrail of Johanna Constandine and I welcome it. She is an accompished actress and I would like to see how she develops the character.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (longest title ever ..) has been renewed for a second season (Prod Weekly).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

My understanding is that Amazon’s LotR series has already been green lit for its entire 5-season run. I wonder whether this is just a technical nod to proceed, as I’m pretty sure Amazon’s commitment is solid and would have no reason to change unless the early cuts of s1 were atrocious.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I checked into that and yes, it would appear they committed to five seasons.
Season 1 will consist of 8 episodes, if the others follow this then that'll be 40 in total.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I thought His Dark Materials had already aired, I just got confused because my Cousin edited 3 episodes of it several months ago.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Looks good, Was that the Enterprise E in the background at the end?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Enterprise-F is supposed to be appearing in the new series. Trekkies are all excited about it because the ship already exists in Star Trek Online, so it’s apparently the first time an element of the Star Trek universe first designed for a game has appeared in the TV series rather than vice versa.

---------- Post added at 14:10 ---------- Previous post was at 13:57 ----------

Just watched the trailer and yes, that appears to be an Odyssey class cruiser in the background at the end of it. NCC 1701-F is supposed to be an Odyssey class ship.

Rebus coming back to TV....

Re: TV Show Snippets & General Information
 

The background to the story they want to tell makes it contemporary to the original Rebus novel, Knots and Crosses, although they are apparently writing an entirely new story.

The hack reporting for Variety says he’s been demoted to Det. Sgt. so probably doesn’t know that when we first meet Rebus in the novels he’s a DS, not a DI.

If they’re starting out with a young DS Rebus they may hopefully be wanting to make multiple series.

Not surprised as the joke has worn thin. I'm gave up a couple of episodes into S2

Re: TV Show Snippets & General Information
 

I did not find Season 2 quite as good as Season 1.
I cant say I watch it for the 'joke' nor do I find it overly funny.
It does have a somewhat serious plot underneath the supposed humour.

Regardless, its the most watched show on Syfy by quite a margin.

After recently cancelling Titans & Doom Patrol, HBO have announced plans for some new DC based series.

Waller - abount Amanda Waller from the Suicide Squad films, and Peacemaker show.
It seems this is considered a spinoff of Peacemaker (apparenty Season 2 of that is now 'delayed').

Lanterns - about two Green Lanterns based on Earth.

Paradise Lost - about 'Themyscira', the home of the Amazons and the birthplace of Wonder Woman.

Booster Gold - a loser from the future uses technology to come back to the present day, and pretend to be a superhero.

Re: TV Show Snippets & General Information
 

Strange it is on the newsgroups torrents normally beat it. However for some reason it is encoded 30 frames instead of 24 so some might pick up on it. I do also it is 400ms out of sync but VLC can correct it. I am sure there will be other encodes.
