Impulse (No, not that one)
« on: June 09, 2018, 03:59:12 AM »
Watched the Impulse pilot. It's a new YouTube show about a teleporter based on one of the books in the Jumper series. On a related note, turns out Jumper was based on a book. Which seems weird since you wouldn't normally associate literacy with giving Hayden Christensen an acting job. Anyways, it wasn't too bad (at double speed anyway) but would have to get a lot better before I'd recommend anyone using their free Yoobs trial on it, much less actually subbing (first 3 eps are free, rest are premium/red or whatever they're calling it this week.)

Binging the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai series is a far better reason to use the trial, then?
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Having just now heard of its existence I'm gonna go with no. That sounds more like a reason to throw money at them.

Edit: Having now seen Cobra Kai forget the free trial and the throwing money. Take all your money, put it in a body bag, send it in.

Finished Impulse. It's not bad. Too slow, too long, gets better toward the end, but probably only in preparation for being slow in s2. I wouldn't go out of my way but if you're starved for something to watch and have access it's better than the network superhero stuff at least, no constant facepalmery.
