I also saw the first episode of Cabinet of Curiosities. Seemed pretty solid. Loved the visuals. It's too bad they're each independent from each other. Since just as it's about to get good, it ends. But on the other hand, now that I think about it, if they were to continue, and probably milk that idea, it would likely get stale and outstay its welcome. So maybe it's better that each is an independent little piece.
I also saw the second to last episode of TWD S11. I think the series finale is supposed to air tomorrow or something. And, I think it's gonna be forgetable shit, just as it was this whole season. They really wasted a whole season with nothing remarkable. It just felt like mostly filler content.
Another thing they started doing with the last 5 or so episodes, iirc, is they start each episode if a flashback montage of events from the previous seasons, each of them focused on one of the characters. But the whole rest of the episode has nothing tied to that. So that seems like the single cheap thread that seems to even attempt at something of a grander context to everything that has lead to this point. I'll be curios what they do in the very last episode, but it's been very meandering and uninspired.
As I said, it feels like there's absolutely no attempt at a wrap-up or trying to give more meaning to the whole journey. And if the last 5-10 seasons would've been stellar that would be absolutely fine, since it would feel like it's part of the vision. But it really feels like they really have no idea how to attempt to wrap-up. But come to think of it, I'm not sure what I was even expecting. It should've been obvious with the way things have been going for the past seasons. Imo, the lone and single jolt of life in this whole series was the introduction of Negan, which then they proceed to dilute and waste.
