Does Amazon have a history of this? Did season two of LOTR look inferior to the first? (I quit after season 1)

I can see them going smaller in order to save on the production budget, but hopefully the little details will still be there. But if they introduce super mutants and they look cheap, or if they walk onto the Strip and there’s like 2 buildings, it’ll be a disappointment.

See: The Expanse, which succeeded in spite of its budget.

Wheel of Time always looked cheap-ish to me because of the small, claustrophobic-feeling sets.

RoP: they moved the filming locations from New Zealand to the UK for season 2.

Kind of surprised they dropped the deathclaw in the trailer, but I assume they’re keeping the super mutants under wraps. That’s probably the voice you hear talking to the ghoul.

Premieres tonight at 9PM eastern. I am surprised to hear that it’s running weekly instead of dropping all at once like last season.

Just watched ep 1 of the new season. Holy hell, these 3 minute blocks of commercials kill the vibe. When is enough money enough, Bezos? Cunt.

Yeah I turned it on at 9pm last night, saw how many commercial breaks there were, and decided to just download it this morning.

Was getting some Pluribus vibes from the Lucy scenes

Purnell’s eyes are so expressive that the looks she gives can carry a scene. And yeah, it’s a weird recasting of the dilemma at the heart of Pluribus, about whether sacrificing individuality for peace is worth it. It’s slightly skewed here because it’s only certain people being zombified, not everyone, but it’s an eerie parallel.

I’ve liked this season in general but TBH I’m still a bit lost when it comes to the timeline and wish I had rewatched Season 1 before this started.

Plowed through Season 1 and just started Season 2. This is a very fun show.

Walton Goggins really is one of the most entertaining actors out there

Yes and yes. I got behind and watched episodes 2-5 this weekend. May hold off on 6 and watch it back to back with 7.

I do wish we had more of the Vault 32 and 33 this season. I know they don't have a big role in what's currently going on, but it's somewhat taken me out of caring about them.

If I’m not familiar with the game, will I be lost trying to watch this?
