The first and ~~third~~ fourth seasons are good . Avoid the second one. It really took a dip on that one.

I loved the book 'Starship Troopers' and hated the movie because it changed all the good stuff in the book. After a couple of rewatches I began to like the movie for what it was.

Same thing with Season Two. If you compare it to the first, it sucks. If you watch it cold it's a pretty good show.

When I was a teenager I read Heinlein nonstop. I never got around to that one.

I’ve seen the movie though. Maybe I’ll finally read that book.

In the book, the soldiers wear power armor that can fly, and carry atomic bombs on their backs.

The ending of season 2 sucks balls though.

No spoilers.

I actually liked his little stroll in the desert.

Personally thought that they have been quite good, but eaxh to their own. Gonna start the latest season soon, so excited!

[–] Smoogs 2 points 8 months ago

I really enjoyed night country

Glad you said so. I started watching season 2 and i was like.... what is this? Is it even the same TV show? I didnt make it through episode one...

So ok, guess i give season 3 a try then. :)

Sorry I meant 4th season, night country with Jodie foster - I skipped over the 3rd after I had been so disappointed with the 2nd.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I will try third but if it sucks, I will go for 4th right away.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Although I totally agree, the 2nd season was much weaker than the first, it had its moments and is still very watchable (after a slow start). Season one is really outstanding, the acting, camera and story are so good!
