I liked the Christmas episode and thought The Waldo Moment/Men Against Fire were pretty bad
Christmas episode was too long. Would've been good at a tight 45-50 minutes but the side plots didn't reinforce the theme and the technological conceit was the dumbest one to date
waldo moment was stupid, but at least it was internally consistent
yeah dat was cool

Hahaha, so sad this was forced to stop because of copyright, this series is hilarious 
This didn't age well
I just wanted to share the good news (that I was right) about the nudity in the upcoming LOTR TV show

Nudity is here to get the show close to the source material and stay dark and not to show lots of sex to sell the show on that merit.

Good question. There's a river, a mountain, and forest. I'm hesitant to say it's Rivendell, because it's so conspicuous, but since it's the only thing that could match on this terrain and architecture in the Lord of the Rings, what else could it be?
Well... https://screenrant.com/lord-rings-show-image-middle-earth-location-amazon/
Looking at the light sources, I'm going to have to agree with the article saying that those are likely the two trees of Valinor (see how there are two of them, one behind the other, looking like . . . trees?) and that therefore the city is, well, Valinor. That's the original home of the elves in space, which they left when Sauron's old boss Melkor AKA Morgoth took those trees . . . kinda. This is also where all the elves were going during the exodus during/after the movies, as well as Gandalf, Bilbo, and Frodo (and Gimli, later, because Reasons) (but there were obviously no trees then, due to them being stolen/sort of turned into the Moon and Sun).
Yeah why did Gimli actually go? I can’t remember reading the reason(s).
I watched a show I really enjoyed this year: Brassic. It's a bunch of guys in rural England with nothing going on but random petty crimes and schemes. Nothing goes right for them. If they were all morons, the show would just write itself, but fortunately they're not... mostly. The script is good, the characters are realistic, there's a nice level of drama, and I laughed a lot.
If you like hard scifi, then you'll like the world of The Expanse. It's probably the most "realistic" show of its type running now in terms of worldbuilding, so if that's what determines your taste in shows it'll certainly do so here. However, I don't think that that makes it any more of a "smart person's show" than Rick and Morty is. We can all enjoy fun stories regardless of our scores on arbitrary tests, and I think this is a fun one. I don't like it quite as much as I do Battlestar Galactica, but then again that show hit me at a formative time. I'd say it's worth checking out!
