Fun Fact : They shot this show on a soundstage. The ship set is in front of a giant TV screen that displays the ocean backdrop. Kinda like The Volume but less fancy.

I watched it for awhile. I had to stop when Wei Chan Will Yun Lee shows up as a former cop / new doctor. He keeps saying he used to be a cop and it pulls me out every time. Its not the actors fault, he just starred in one of the best open world games ever made. Maybe if he didn't say it so often it wouldn't bother me, but its practically how he starts conversations.

Xbox (and I think it's on PC now too) has quick resume, Playstation doesn't. It saves five different game snapshots on the hard drive so you can load exactly where you stopped in a matter of seconds. No menu or logos or loading screens. It's the greatest thing and you can hot swap games at will.

The Series X and PS5 are basically identical. Xbox has an advantage on load times because of Quick Resume. And Sony has fancy controller. Thats about it really. I own both and theres really no difference.

Fun Fact : After Steve Carrell was forced out of The Office, NBC approached James Gandolfini too take over as lead. HBO found out about the offer and paid James three million dollars not to do it. They didn't want the legacy of Sopranos to be tainted by him appearing in a comedy.

Yes? I eat fruit all the time, and use fresh citrus in my dishes. Hell the other day I made lemon braised potatoes and they were literally the best potato I have ever had.

Still remember that scene where the main guy went to the fruit store and it looked like a fucking Apple store. That shit was crazy. Here in Kansas we just get fruit from the grocery store. Its kinda nuts that you have specialty fruit stores in Tokyo that sell really pretty and expensive fruit. I wonder if that would even fly here in Kansas?

That show is built for streaming. The thing is Season 1 is pretty realistic and not very high budget. Jack spends more time running away from situations rather than shooting his way out of situations. Season 2 he becomes the man we all love, the guy that will literally kill you if you get in his way.

This is actually sort of a good thing. They decided to condense the episodes in order to make the show feel more cinematic like the films. Doing action on the level that's expected for this is very fucking expensive. So making three expensive episodes is just way better than 9 cheap ass quick cut boring ass episodes.

The first half of season 1 is very dark. One of the lead characters thinks about running over a little lady everytime he gets an erection. Thats super fucked up.

I think the problem with this show is the tone. Its hardly comedic in nature. They keep shooting everything like its a drama and the tone overall is mostly dramatic. Even some of the funny situations don't really hit as well because of the tone.

That guy was awesome on Nikita. He showed up one of the early seasons and they had to take out another Guardian like him. They picked mother fucking Darth Maul. Such a good episode. When they showed Ray just devastating a punching bag during the introduction I was like "hold up, lemme get some popcorn".

Reply to comment by thatguywiththe______ in Characters who get a spin off, that spin off ends, and they come back by squirrrles
James Marsters said when they approached him for Angel the amount of money he asked for significantly drained the budget. Which is apparently why the vast majority of Season 5 was shot on one set in daytime. As a fan of that show, I gotta say I never even noticed that transition at all. It made perfect since that Angel sold his soul to work for the evil law firm. I really liked that season.

Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) both left Agents of Shield for a spinoff show called "Marvel’s Most Wanted". After they officially got rid of the characters and shot the pilot the head of ABC said "This show will never see the light of day" and killed it. They both came back to Agents of Shield for a few episodes. It really was unfortunate because both characters were great.

Reply to Did TV used to have more speaking roles for extras? by warrenseth
On The Office, Creed was an extra. He didn't have a speaking role at first. He was just supposed to be someone in the background. The original plan was that they would have two of these people and then Michael would fire one of them. They wanted to actually see both actors in the background before that episode as a cool little easter egg for the fans. As the firing episode grew closer, the director walked up to Mindy and Creed and said "I think we need a line of dialog here" and Creed immediately responded "I'll do it." Mindy shot him a look because hes not supposed to talk but didn't say anything to the director. They shot it and it ended up in the episode. This is the reason why Creed never got fired.
