Kalshane: My understanding is that there was none used on the performers. Your observation seems to be a fairly common one.
Also, I have not been able to watch a lot of this series because of the violence towards children, on-screen and implied; I will be very happy when someone makes a supercut of this particular scene so's I can enjoy the fight choreography without having to use the Magic Skippy Button while peering through my fingers to get to each bit.
Umbrella Academy!
Umbrella Academy!
Oh, shit, S3 dropped today!!! Gotta get on that. (After today's Ms. Marvel.) (I love the golden age of streaming TV.)
My sister, son & GF are joining me tonight for Umbrella Academy! Son is bringing pizza. We all re-watched the past month or so in preparation. I was shocked at how much I had forgotten. I was good and didn't watch before the gang gets here.
The first confrontation with the Sparrows that we see is just amazing. I love this show.
OB1: All in all I thought the series was okay but I don't know that it told a story that actually needed to be told. There were definitely elements I loved, but it doesn't really give us any greater understanding of the characters involved.
I'm also kind of annoyed that they pretty much directly stole the Vader's mask gets cut open during a fight with his former master/apprentice and said person tries to connect with Anakin only for Vader to ultimately assert that Anakin is dead from Rebels.
We watched the first 2 eps of Umbrella Academy last night. Oh the joy. The opening scene, ecstasy. I thought the transition of Vanya to Viktor was well done and appropriate. Still not at all sold on Christopher, but that just means it will end up being my favorite, because that is what writers do to me. I'm going to re-watch those two before proceeding, because a lot to digest there. eta: I love Five's new look! eta again: My spoiler font used to show as pink, but now just white. I'll have to investigate that, but it isn't urgent.
A lot of haircuts and wardrobe changes this season!
-t, agree, but mostly I just wanted to hug them all. Knew what was going to face Allison but thought is was well done. Poor Luther has extra added wooby cred. And of course Klaus is 100% Klausy. Missing ghost Ben lots. Don't want that change. And I was delighted to see that Lila is still with us because that character is quite awesome. I am so along for the ride, and of course Five remains my favorite.
eta: good grief I am not awake yet since I used all i tags instead of s for spoilers!
We watched the first 3 episodes of S3 of Umbrella Academy, and I am perplexed by the modern technology in the Sparrows' training room, when the rest of the world of the show still has more or less analog technology. That issue better be relevant and be addressed.
Spoilers specifically for episode 3: this goddamn show will NOT make me feel any sympathy for Reginald Hargreeves. Fuck no. But it's trying, damn it.
Also episode 3: Holy shit, Harlan?!?
