I was Team "Infinity for Lemmy," but Eternity is a great name and I'm glad it got picked. Thanks for your hard work and dedication!

Loki had my interest until the last episode of season one. Now I'm worried season two will be an extended trailer for Kang Dynasty.

Sucks that you're getting downvoted for stating an honest opinion.

I also gave up on this series after getting halfway through book 1. I know people love this series, but I couldn't understand anything that was going on in book 1. I'm told it eventually makes sense, but I just couldn't find the strength to power through 1000 pages before I could figure out what the hell was going on.

Superhero fatigue must be a thing...The reviews for this movie are pretty positive, but I still don't feel like checking it out.

I can already imagine the protagonist being torn between his newfound role as a superhero and the demands of family, only to realize after a long series of humorous situations that he can serve both by being true to himself, and... Yeah.

I don't blame you. 😁 For me, the turning point was in the very last episodes of season one. Stuff happens that really breaks expectations and sends the story in a more interesting direction. I also remember season 2 being vastly superior.

If you made it through season 2 and didn't like it, the show might not be for you! But if you're stuck somewhere in season 1, it's definitely worth powering through that.

For me, it was definitely Arrested Development. The original run was super tight and hilarious, and worked as a self-contained story. Then season four happened and... yeah.

A clear example of a show jumping the shark between seasons.

The 2009 series was a reboot, though. Not a sequel to the original.

I had such a troubled relationship with The Expanse S01 as well.

I read the novel and thought the writing was meh, so I dropped it at some point.

Then my friends were telling me the show was great, so I gave it a go but got bored at about the same point and stopped.

So other friends insisted it was great, so I tried it again with my GF. She complained about the show, but we decided to really see what this show was about and stick with it no matter what.

Turns out I thought the story was heading into some sort of "space zombies" tale, but I couldn't have been more wrong. And the characters I thought were so bland and indistinguishable in S01 gained so much nuance that they're now so clear in my mind years later.

It's definitely one of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time. I guess it's worth listening to your friends and sticking with things sometimes.
