OK, this thing's really fucking cooking now. This dude is like adding an instant +10 charisma/intrigue to your show through casting alone.

edit: also please go watch Emily the Criminal right now.

As if friends of producers or casting directors aren’t “shoehorned” in

I bet this would be a huge problem if white males were in movies less

You’re finally him. You’re the person. Everybody wonders who cares who plays what I’m shows. I’ve never met a person who ACTUALLY gave one half of a tenth of a single fuck. Like I just want the best actors playing the part. I’m very supportive of diversity but anything being shoehorned in just diminishes the product.

Agreed, I thought the first two seasons were dumb, watchable TV starring a bunch of familiar faces. Meanwhile S3 feels like a better continuation and use of legacy characters than anything from the first two.

Also the TNG bugs kind of reminded me of the mind control bugs from Wrath of Khan. And the special effects looked like Red Dwarf.

Why would you ever watch a movie about Batman? You already know that no matter what the bad guys have in store for him, he is going to win and defeat the villains because he’s the hero. It makes the movie kinda pointless right?

I enjoyed the first couple seasons of Picard well enough, but this season has been on another level. The pacing is good, nearly every problem that's raised in one episode gets solved the next, and some of the legacy characters are getting better writing in some scenes than they ever got in TNG. The confrontation between Beverly and Picard a couple episodes ago was top notch; I felt like they both had very valid points of view, and revisiting the relationship of Picard and this cameo character was something I didn't know I wanted, as I watched them come to a new understanding of each other. If this is the kind of writing Matalas and his team are doing, I'll watch the show for as long as they'll make it.

Been loving this season minus the « we’re old » moments between Picard and rikee

Apparently Terry Matalas considered it but went with the Changelings instead:

> I do like the conspiracy bugs, I did consider for a hot minute, the conspiracy bugs. The issue with the conspiracy bugs is they kill their host. So that would mean anyone that you saw with a bug in them was dead, and you wouldn't be able to do the paranoia thriller that you wanted to do if it was somebody you loved, that meant they were dead. So there [were] about three storylines I couldn't do without killing legacy characters.

Wait for it..... "WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A CONSPIRACY THRILLER?!"

Anyone remember season one of TNG had a few conspiracy episodes in it that were connected (with the little bug creatures that had infiltrated Star Fleet)? Then it was all dropped by season two (which introduced The Borg). Wonder if this is going to come back to that?

Well if Gotham is in the United States, then I’d hope there would be more than one Latino.

Latinos are 19 percent of the population.

Does that feel like what movies and tv portray?

It’s important. Our shared culture as Americans is this art, yes including superhero spin off shows, and it feels like Latinos are left out.

is the show lesser for not having a member of each ethnic group from the world?

One of the main roles is actually latino though.Rhenzy Feliz(apparently a lead character too, will be interesting to see what his role is)

Can they cast at least one Latino

I literally said that in my head as soon as I read the headline 💀

The villain takes on Gotham were the reason I watched that series. I liked Ben McKenzie quite a bit, but the villains were why I watched.

This is the exact reason Joker flopped at the box office and nobody watched Loki

I don't understand why I would want to watch a villian's tv series. After all, no matter what he achieves, he's just going to get beaten by the Batman at some point, making the series kinda pointless, right?

What a sausage fest

>”The Penguin” series at HBO Max has added Michael Zegen, James Madio, and Scott Cohen to its cast in recurring roles, Variety has learned exclusively.

>The three join a cast that includes series lead Colin Farrell, who will reprise the role of Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot from “The Batman, as well as Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, and Clancy Brown.

>HBO Max is not releasing character details for three new additions, but sources say that Zegen is set to play Alberto Falcone.

>Alberto is the son of Gotham City crime boss Carmine Falcone, who was played by John Turturro in “The Batman,” and the brother of Sofia Falcone, who will be played by Milioti in “The Penguin.” In the comics, Alberto takes credit for being the serial killer known as The Holiday Killer, who targets Gotham gangsters on a holiday each month.

The Witcher.

It’s all a scam. Conan’s currently escaping to Tahiti with a suitcase full of cash. Until the unscheduled stopover in North Haverbrook…

Thanks! Watching one of those now!

A segment Conan did with Schlansky a few weeks ago. Check the Team Coco youtube. There's a couple of recent segments with them.
