Is that on Delta?
I don't normally watch stuff over again, but if that's on there I would definitely watch it after a movie to soak up that last bit of flight.
Found out Task is on there too... but I'm probably going to finish that up at home before I get on a plane again.

I bring my own downloaded on my phone. I only fly Delta, because I'm in MSP and it's a Delta fortress.

I watched 4 episodes of Task. I thought it was good, but not enough to continue. I might finish it though.

I enjoyed this comedy series 6x30mins
First episodes are loose and funny
Last episodes ties it altogether

Aliens on the Planet Earth didn't really do it for me and I tried pretty hard. Every character on that show is so fucking annoying.

I really really liked Alien Earth. The highlight was definitely the Alien episode on the ship but I'm really happy the whole show wasn't that.

The eyeball alien was so fucked up and awesome. I got sad when I went to the alien Reddit and learned they all hated it.

I did feel that the needle drops at the end of every episode were a bit of a cheat code to get me to like it tho

Rottentomatoes gave it 100%
But I'm not clear if it's for S01 or the entire series of S01 and S02
Here's hoping S02 doesn't suck
I'll start that tomorrow or Wed

lol do they hate it? i guess that makes sense, it is reddit, which i think is mostly used as a place to hate things.

i did not hate it, i honestly did really want to like it but i couldn't. the people who were playing robots who were acting like children did their job well, but i guess it turns out i do not like watching an adult act like a robot who acts like a child. i also found the kid trillionaire or whatever his name was to be like too unlikeable, which i guess means he did his job well too but like i don't want to see young elon musk do elon musk shit, and i read ahead a bit to see his fate and was disappointed in that so that didn't help.

just like wasn't really any character that i found myself liking at all.

the new aliens were cool.

I found the introduction of new aliens pleasing. Maybe a little too pleasing.
From: bepto #268
Date: 01/13/26 @ 5:21 PM
i didn't "like" any characters either.

But i really really enjoyed the bad Cyborg and Timothy Olyphant they were two of the worst fucking slime balls ever. The hero robot girl and her brother were a little on the nose. But if everyone in the show just sucks so much its harder to move the plot forward so you needed someone to root for month to month.

but also there's a non-zero chance they just tricked me into liking the show by ending every episode with a song used to really like but hadn't thought about in a while.

idk first episode and I was like "oh this is a rick and morty plot"
but then the second episode I was like "oh ok it's more nuanced, nice"
and now that is all I have watched so far, thank you.

I hadn't mentally compared them in my head, yet.

Never saw Better Cole Sole, I guess Breaking Bad was... better? Pretty different shows so hard to compare. I definitely binged this harder than Breaking Bad but Breaking Bad was very good all the way through. I guess time will tell for me on that.
