Don’t be (too) ashamed. What’s the slop you’re getting into this week? Games, movies, tv shows, etc.

I’ll go first I suppose. I’m watching Burn Notice. I’m on season 3 episode 3. Some of the dialogue is so painful I’m embarrassed to watch it but then I power thru it and finally get to a high quality action scene. Former spy works w former girlfriend, his mom, and a fair weather friend to solve some problems in sunny Florida. It’s completely believable and socially redeeming.

So let’s hear it.

    new star war maul shadow lord, as per usual with these animated shows the plot and writing is all over the place but it’s quite amazingly rendered. i’m talking very nearly Arcane art direction and quality. the team(s?) that do these shows have clearly gotten really really good at this animation style.

    i wouldn’t actually recommend it, Maul’s character doesn’t work well without a comedic foil, he’s way too edgy. the heaps of action setpieces are indulgent and overwrought, the stakes are hard to appreciate when the important characters die in other media.

    super pretty to look at though
