I've been re-watching Letterkenny again in anticipation of the new season that comes out the day after Christmas, so now I'm talking Canadian lingo at work again.

Wheel of Time is getting pretty good, even if I don't like some of the decisions they made with the main characters. Why must everybody in TV shows be despicable pieces of shit? Even the heroes? Still, interesting special effects and a compelling plot are keeping my interest so far.

Started Station Eleven too. Interesting set up in the first three episodes. I can't wait to see more of what the story is in the book she packs around with her. Gimme more of the sci-fi, less of the dystopia.

We went up to like S5(?) halfway where Ragnar's kid and someone else I can't quite remember now were stuck somewhere in the middle east. Ragnar leaving was probably one of the best-yet-worst losses I have seen in a some in really forever. Tough shoes with no one to fill them. I would like to finish it up someday if I could muster the season and a half(?) we have left?

There's some seriously crazy level shit going down once Ragnar is gone. Fucking Iver is nuttier than a fruitcake, and the other brother, can't remember the name, goes way off the deep end too at one point.

I did dig some of the character conclusions they had. God damn Iver's big fight scene was beautifully orchestrated. Some of the most brutal battles happen. And while I was hoping for one more blood eagle level scene, they tease us with one and then the dude's too much of a pussy to do it. Which gave me sads.

Iver (that's the one without his legs?) was crazy. I forgot about him! I was thinking of Bjorn? I will have to revisit it at some point.

Yup. Iver the boneless = nutbars.
Uber's cool.
Bjorn's mostly cool, but has his moments where he loses his temper. He's like a tamer version of his pops.
The last brother I can never remember the name of goes full fucking rage-quit on life for a bit. We're talking medieval meth head level fail. Him and Iver have a weirdo relationship throughout the last season where they're both convinced they're destined to kill each other, yet still hang around each other all the time like best buds.

Season 10 of Letterkenny premiered today. It feels like it’s wrapping things up; they very well could be ending the show - I honestly don’t look too deeply into these things - and setting up Shoresy for his own show, which is not a good idea. It was, on the whole, though, better than last season, and I don’t know how she does it, but Michelle Mylett is somehow hotter than last year.

I don't get the impression Letterkenny is wrapping up from the new season.

I am pissed off that they teased us an entire episode with Shoresy and Wayne meeting, and then all we get is a shared head-nod. Come on, guys. Give us some Wayne / Shorsey banter.

I suppose that'll come with the rest of the season.

Highlights: Katy's tarts, Shoresy / Riley / Jonesy convo, "Are you allergic to garments", Wayne tossing his toothpick to the ground so forcefully that it actually bounced, and they did it in slo-mo.

They were definitely back to form after some of the less than stellar episodes last season. Just mile a minute laughs from start to finish.

I heard that Season 11 of Letterkenny was filmed at the same time as 10 like they've done on previous seasons.
I only got the watch the first episode of the new season so far, I'll binge watch it later in the week.

Cobra Kai's new season: Holy shit.

"That makes Peter Cetera seem manly."

Johnny's killing it with the one liners. Silver does not disappoint with his utter fuckery. Was surprised where they went with the tournament results. Shit's gonna go full blown next season. Holy carps.

Dude's timing and delivery is perfect. He should have been in more things over the years!

His appearance on How I Met Your Mother was one of the most hilarious things ever.

He really is a great comedy actor. He plays it so damn dry it just smacks you in the face with the funny.

THAT'S what else he was in. I hated that show (without even trying to watch it, if I am being honest). Looked like too much of a CBS "comedy". I might have to go back and take a look.

It's super hit or miss through the seasons. There was a point we quit watching it because the premise was clearly failing and it was so popular that you could just feel the "keep making episodes" push from the executives through the sloppy overall story arch, but they did have gems here or there. You could get by just watching the one episode that they got Johnny to show up in for Barney's sake. Since he insisted that Johnny was the real Karate Kid and Daniel was a complete shit. Which I find ESPECIALLY hilarious with the way Cobra Kai plays with that concept.

They should really find a way to get NPH to do a pop-in for an episode or two and reprise the fun of Johnny and Barny hanging out.

Started Marvelous Mrs. Maysel. End of episode one had my dying. Holy hell when she gets wound up and takes the stage it's like a whirlwind of funny. Couldn't stop laughing.

Episode two has a scene almost as funny. I'm diggin' this one.

February 18th. Not that season 3 wasn't funny, I just want more of her in comedy clubs and less of the opening for the pop star part.

Dexter finale will probably ruffle some feathers. I dug it and understand the thought process behind it.

Started Queens Gambit. Good stuff so far. Very different vibe than what we are currently watching.
