Season two of Industry is done. This show is seriously underrated, especially as it’s in the same environment as Succession, but for whatever reason its not given the same push by the network. A season four is in the works, but I need to get stepping on s3.

Just watched this episode and it was excellent - best episode of BM for quite a while, IMO. I twigged pretty quickly what was going on but it didn’t make it any less tense and the ending was great.
And yes, that spoilered bit is genius. Which version did you get? I got Barnies

Andor season 2 is finally here 
. I’m interested to see how the release format works out for them, but I’ve heard nothing but good things so far.

Alright, finally finished all 3 episodes 
; I can safely say that Andor still has the magic.
The Imperial scene where they’re all sitting around the table plotting how best to gouge a planet of it’s resources at the risk of blowing it up is haunting. The suggestion that they should do a secret PR campaign to basically turn the galaxy against the inhabitants and portray them are evil savages, so that the Empire can just come in, mine it’s resources, and have everyone thank them for doing it. All this, while people are sitting around eating fancy food and having a fun ol time; if you’ve ever seen the movie Conspiracy, it’s basically that.
The planet design is on point, fantastical as ever. A planet with wheat fields as far as the eye can see, with only small patches removed to house single buildings, silos, and paths. I’d imagine this single planet would be responsible for growing food to feed hundreds of others. An excellent demonstration of world building.
I think it’s nice that they’re showing how varied the rebellion is. This arc is set before the formation of the Rebel Alliance, so there are still a lot of small time groups out there fighting on their own, and there is distrust between rebel groups. The episodes also show that not every rebel group are elite badasses who get the job done; some groups are just a bunch of randos who picked up a gun and started following someone influential, and then completely fall apart when you take out their leadership. The shot as Cassian is leaving the planet and it pans to show the temples of Yavin 4 is just 
, beautiful.
Alright enough yapping, I’m looking forward to next week and the next 3 batches of episodes, though perhaps I’ll pace them out a bit more 
.

There’s only one real Pokémon theme!
I have a soft spot for the Finnish version, which I’ve heard countless times on Saturday mornings when I was a kid!

Just imagine if they’d stuck to the Japanese lyrics…
I’ll get you, Pokémon! Even if in fire, in water, in grass, in forests, in ground, in clouds, in that girl’s skirt (eek!).

I have a soft spot for the ones i grew up with, so Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles, Battle Dimension and then the Black and White theme goes hard

Stand tall from XY, alongside the XY version of the original theme. (I’m not biased at all)

I don’t have a strong connection to the Swedish version actually. I watched the anime when it aired on Finnish TV, and it was obviously dubbed into Finnish. The Swedish dub was never broadcast here. I didn’t see the Swedish version until we got the DVDs later on.

Should this be in the Pokemon thread?

So I started watching Mr. Robot recently. Was loving the vibe but Sam Esmail has apparently never interacted with another human being before because everyone acts like an alien pretending to be a person.
I was considering turning it off at one point and then it just started throwing curveball after curveball at me. I’m not even through the first season and my mind is blown so I’m definitely going to stick with it.
