Helix season 1 was fun. Season 2 not so much.

I didn’t know there was even a season one.

I enjoyed this one. Couldn’t get into the book, but liked the show.

It would have to be one of the newer plastic formulations. Tupperware has been around since the 1950s.

Is there even anything else worth watching on Peacock besides this show?

It’s interesting because we’ve been eating ultra processed foods since at least the 1970s, but only recently did the cancer numbers spike in young people. Stuff like Kraft Mac n cheese, hamburger helper, tuna helper, rice a roni have all been around for ages. What changed?

Are you asking why all the episodes aren’t released at once for binge watching? Releasing an episode each week keeps you subscribed for two months instead of one.

You’d think streamers would have figured out they could spread that to three months or more by going back to longer seasons. (Looking at you eight ep Strange New Worlds with two filler episodes).

“conveniently for Disney, it has previously said that it will stop reporting streaming subscribers in its next quarterly earnings report. “

Tells you everything you need to know. If the numbers were good, they’d report them.

Who needs to go on a looooong hiatus and maybe reboot in ten to fifteen years.

I’m surprised that many people are subscribed to YouTube TV.

I would think getting 66% would override line item veto. Just like it does any other veto. If you can’t get 66% of the vote for something, maybe it’s not worth stuffing into the bill in the first place.

Funding bills are fucjed anyway. It’s a shame we don’t have a party that’s interested in reforming the process so we don’t have these repeated shutdowns.

Stuff like this makes me think we could really use line item veto.

I wonder how they managed to call this series “Monarch” without getting sued? There was another series with this name just a couple of years ago.

Please stop linking to cbs news.

Just another sign of rampant inflation.

The best explanation I read was that Star Trek is a “period piece” so using modern slang and cuss words jars the viewer out of the story. “Damnit” being the only era-appropriate curse word.

Anyone remember “double dumbass on you!” — They weren’t familiar with ancient slang and misused it. We don’t say “23 skidoo!” in 2025, so why would they use our slang in the 23rd century?

Also it would be far more fun to use Andorian or Klingon expletives and idioms.

How many of these are new subscribers, and how many are just existing subscribers who dropped to this lower priced tier?

And does Amazon make more money from ad revenue than it does a premium subscription?

Why has it taken so long to film season 2? This show last aired in 2024.

That’s the way I felt about Ahsoka. Waste of an interesting character. I couldn’t finish it.
