quote:5% of 48 hours is over two hours. (The show is going with the 48 hour ring charge cycle.) In some more recent comics the charge is extended if the ring isn't used. It was a 55 minute episode and they added the drama of the Halogram starting with "we've got about an hour left."
I will add that the Rings charge is not being handled well. The hologram sure lasted a long time for only having a 5% charge left
I was a bit letdown that the power battery wasn't in Hal's fail safe. My out of the box thinking now is that the yellow glow in that well was Sinestro creating a power battery, or Hal had hidden a battery on that dead planet.

I wouldn’t call it a bad season, but it definitely wasn’t great.

quote:It wasn't the audience aging out. The rural shows were still popular. CBS just made the decision to be the "Tiffany Network" and have smart shows following their upper-class CBS News with Walter Cronkite and 60 Minutes. Luckily Norman Lear and Grant Tinker could produce those more upper-class comedies.
I imagine a version of this with media happens every 15-20 years as one generation of people age out the desired marketing bracket and another group age in.

They punched Paul Henning in the gut. Today it would be as if the networks cancelled all of Dick Wolf's shows at once.
Hee Haw made the genius move of opting for syndication. The perfect bridge show between Saturday afternoon's Porter Wagoner and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

quote:And it was a decent one that started out strong, then wobbled towards the end. My main takeaway was how much better Celia Rose Gooding looks with Nichelle Nichols signature hairdo. But I guess "mature and professional" wasn't what they were going for with the younger Uhura.
we only have one episode left this season.

quote:At the most you'll see certain very old versions open to the public. Mickey isn't in public domain, but Steamboat Willie currently is. You might get the Siegel and Shuster or Fleischer Superman, but if you vary your version towards the updated character you're in violation. They're very good at extending these things.
What do you mean?

First new episode was good. Not a huge fan of the "villain" of the season, but we'll see. I'd forgotten how much of a banger the opening theme song was.

quote:My hope is that the final scene is Sinestro (in uniform) raises Hal from the dead, and Hal looks down at himself and sees that he's now a Yellow Lantern, shakes his head, and gives us one last, "God damn it."
There's only 2 episodes left, and the show hasn't been renewed for a second season. If they waste Parallax on two episodes of a one-season series, that would be even worse than what they've already given us here.

I haven't watched since the second episode once I saw the reactions to the third episode. Has the series redeemed itself?

Finished Season 2.
This show is such a nostalgia rush for the late 2000s/early 2010s Office and Parks and Rec. Not as good of a show (yet) but just a pleasant mockumentary sitcom.
The tornado episode was damn good.
Hopefully we get to see more of Andy Richter and Jon Lovitz in Season 3. And for the love of God, give Phil Hendrie a bigger part as AM radio jock "Salty Peanuts".

A lot of F bombs but it turned out to be a part of the plot when Hal called John out on it.

If that's the route they go, it could potentially redeem the absolutely ridiculous DEI episode from earlier in the season. Now that I put it that way, I'm pretty sure that's not where we're going with this.

Race is a part of John's story, so you just have to accept we'll get some dialogue like that from time to time.
