kalifire Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Anyone else of the opinion that episode 5 was a slight step down for season 6? Thought the boxing sequence was a rare misfire for this show. Neither funny or especially plot developing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 I mean, maybe? But not every episode can be absolutely top notch all the time. Thought the boxing sequence was fine. Bit of bait and switch in a way. Supposed to look like Howard was losing it a bit, Jimmy was really getting under his skin, but after he was back to cool, calm, calculated Howard. And a slight step down for BCS is still better than most things on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Yeah- a 4 out of 5 episode rather than a solid 5. But still must-watch telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that would be nice, and hopefully Simon and Garfunkel, the failed detectorists and officials of the bat preservation society are still in it!

a6l6e6x Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Enjoyed BCS ep 5. Back to the slow build up for something massive coming up and I quite liked the boxing scene. Will be such a shame to see such a consistently brilliant TV show end but great to see a TV show end well rather than drag out for years due to doing the numbers which most seem to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino are a perfect way to leave things (and many would say the film wasn’t even entirely necessary, although I’m glad it was made and enjoyed it a lot).

MrZigster Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 The title "Abba at The BBC" is a bit of a misnomer isn't it? Abba made some videos and let Aunty Beeb show them more like. Was all of that actually recorded at White City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbly written and acted. Just finished severance... absolutely brilliant. I didn't want it to end, kept pausing and thinking "noooo only 10 mins left" haha. Next - for all mankind season 3 10th June 👏👏👏 Edited May 16, 2022 by gazzared Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Finally got around to watching Nine Perfect Strangers over the weekend. Enjoyed it more than I expected to, even if the ending was a bit rushed and unsatisfying. Melissa McCarthy was outstanding.

Havors Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Apple TV is smashing it of late. Severance was fantastic, and Shining Girls is brilliant. Add in the other brilliant stuff like Invasion and Foundation. They are making some quality TV shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeble Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Not a tv show but watched an interesting 45 min video on YouTube about how Eric Pridz and ministry of sound stole Call on me from Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon, nice little dive into French house music from the early 2000s.

kalifire Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) New BTC excellent as always, but the last couple haven’t felt quite as outstanding, especially in a final season. I’m not a fan of the way they’re playing out the Sandpiper con. The viewers are left totally out of the loop, only understanding as it’s played out. That makes it hard to get excited about what’s around the corner, because we just don’t know. Couple that with very limited Lalo scenes (that didn’t even reach a conclusion this week) and it’s dipped a bit mid-season. Hopefully shit will go absolutely nuclear in next week’s episode, leaving the final post-Glasto six to go all guns blazing, including the return of Jesse/Walt in some context, and a full length Gene episode.

Yeah episode 3 set the bar incredibly high with the Nacho/Salamanca stuff so going back to Saul and Kim and their escapades against Howard doesn’t have quite the same thrills and feels more like the initial vibe of season 1. Still great TV, but yeah, I thought it would’ve been more amped up by now, although I guess most of that will come in the second half of the season, or even in the mid-season finale next week. Still the best thing on TV even when it isn’t firing on all cylinders, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that one of the writers hopes the fans don’t hate them for the conclusion of the next episode, which makes me think it’s a cliffhanger. Not such an issue when the next episodes are just a few weeks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m expecting a similar insane cliffhanger to Hank finding Walt’s book in the BB mid-season finale, but like you say at least we won’t have a full year to wait this time.
