Legends

 I bought a stand for my phone and downloaded a stop-motion program. I want to make stop-motion Lego videos. I still need to start. I am playing Borderlands 2 again, which has taken up my time. 

I have been trying to get through Legends of Tomorrow, but it is an example of how to ruin a TV show. One of the reasons I decided to watch the show was the cross-overs with the other shows in the Arrowverse. There wasn't one in season seven, which I basically slept through. Season eight is about the writers trying to get back on track. They brought back characters, but I fear it might be too little too late. 

It started as a show about a group of misfit superheroes and villains banning together to save time. By season seven, they took away all the superheroes, filled the ship with women with no powers, and took time travel out of the equation. We are left with a lesbian relationship with no chemistry, the same woman from two different timelines in love with two different guys, a stoner who doesn't seem to serve any purpose, and the last solid male character giving birth to aliens (no wonder he didn't sign up for season 8).

Take away the heroes and villains, and you are left with a show pushing agendas and not telling stories, but isn't that what all the shows have turned into until there is no one left to watch them.

  1. I watched Legends of Tomorrow for the same reasons. But it wasn't a very good show.

    1. Season 8 tries to bring it back, but like I said, too little to late.

  2. I was out after season 2 or 3. It just got too silly.

    1. They make reference to Supernatural in one episode of season 6 or 7, but they did not take any lessons from that show.

  5. I watched a good Movie the other day and then the sequel to it sucked, which is what usually happens and then you're left thinking, why did they bother to ruin what was a good thing? And, why would the Actors return, especially such good ones, and even star in a bomb like that? Some made for TV Mini Series start out great and then get stupid and make me feel I wasted my time watching them when it goes from great to ridiculous... just end them sooner while you still had some credibility and an audience who loved what they were being entertained with! I don't know exactly what Stop Motion is, but, have Fun with it.

    1. It is easier to keep watching than to find something new these days.

  7. Good luck with the stop motion. Looking forward to seeing a finished product. I think I made it to season 3 on Legends of Tomorrow.

    1. I haven't produced anything remarkable yet. Mostly from a lack of trying.
