It seems NASA just repeated the same mistakes as with the Challenger disaster. Far too process driven without seeing the bigger picture and a culture of burying awkward truths. A lot of guilt from engineers who know they didn't speak loud enough. I'm not sure if anything could have been done to save the shuttle though, in fact part of me wonders if the ignorance of the crew were a blessing. Maybe this will be explored further in the third and last part of the series next Monday. Edit: All episodes are on player. Shuttle that fell to Earth. Watched all of this yesterday (this is the kind of fun thing I get up to while the fella's away for the weekend). Fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 5510 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I've been watching the Octopus Murders on Netflix over the last few days - All about the contras, native american gangsters, some fucking terrible 80s MS-DOS software that may or may not have been stolen by the government, and a bunch of deaths that are suspect as fuck. Nefilim would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30414 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Watched all bar the last episode of The Bear. The awful adult-orientated rock soundtrack is the only thing I don’t like about it so far. Also well into season 3 of the sopranos. I think that’s the season when it gets really fucking good. Even though the first two series blows pretty much everything else away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the first two series blows pretty much everything else away honestly, i didn't really see what the fuss was all about with the bear. it fairly watchable, i guess, and it looks nice - some lovely-looking food porn - but it it didn't live up to the hype at all, for me. carmy is such a dull character, i couldn't imagine being one of the poor bastards stuck listening to him drone on in one of his AA meetings. he's so boring and humourless i found it hard to give that much of a shit about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34472 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I absolutely loved the Bear. Didn't expect to but thought it was class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30414 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I liked Carmy’s character. Like he was a bit if a dweeb / loner and found this obsession with food which lifted him out of the shadow of his much cooler brother. I also got the bit about how making food for people is a really nice thing to do. Even if I could never be a chef / handle the intensity. Not sure where it’ll go from here on. I hope it doesn’t turn into another one where they just string it out because it’s popular. The Xmas dinner episode was really well done too btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19826 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 jamie lee curtis was great in that episode but i couldn't have given less of a shit about carmy, despite his troubled past and difficult family. i was quite pleased to see him end up locked in the fridge - his comeuppance for being so insufferably dour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Xmas episode of the Bear genuinely gave me an anxiety attack, and the episode when Dex lost himself in an alcoholic binge due to grief was so close to home for me it was very uncomfortable viewing. Although these are negative emotions, it shows the quality of the writing and acting was superlative. Shame on you Gloom, shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were things to admire - the photography and some of the acting was great. It is undoubtedly a stylish watch but I don’t think the hype was justified and i found the main character to be just the sort of tedious bore I would go out of my way to avoid having a pint with.

There is no god so who gives a fuck Couldn’t get away with Bear thing, just folks shouting at each other in a kitchen, will maybe give it another try but not one character stood out, an amorphous mass of miserable shouty cunts.

Dr Gloom 19826 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 And One Day. Ugh, don’t get me started on that barrel of shite. The wife read the book years ago and loved it. I found the two protagonists terribly written. He was a walking cliche. She, a charmless dullard. I almost let out a cheer at the horribly signposted tragedy in the penultimate episode while the wife wept. So formulaic, so boring. Can’t believe I wasted two weeks on it. Classic compromise TV. The sort of thing you end up watching when you chose the last thing to watch together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
