Jool's super scream every episode she's in of Season 3 caused me actual pain. I'm a little sensitive to sound, but even if you're not this is still the most annoying shtick for a character ever imagined. John is also no longer devolving into madness, now he's angsty and it's a lot less entertaining. The one real standout episode is the one where D'Argo and John have to rescue Jool and Chiana after a bender. I have some problems with it, but the dynamic between the boys is very fun. Season 4 ditches Jool, which is a huge plus, but the show is clearly running out of ideas at this point. It's much lower energy and it's recycling a lot of earlier stuff. John strapping a nuclear bomb to himself is a great moment, but it is just a moment in an otherwise pretty underwhelming three parter. This season is also the most problematic of the bunch. Rape, transphobia and the episode where it's revealed D'Argo was a wife beater, but it's okay because he didn't kill her. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lucien@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oh, yeah, that hurts. I'm also sensitive to sound. I haven't figured out how to watch TV so that it doesn't hurt and I can also understand the dialogue. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Noise cancelling headphones or earbuds might work - they'll minimise background sounds and distortion, so you can hear more clearly at lower volumes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Even then, the mixing on a lot of shows is deliberately bad so that explosions/gunfights are louder than dialogue (I blame Christopher Nolan). Mostly for newer shows, so Farscape might be okay. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago Ugh, I hate that. It's like everything has constant deep, industrial white noise too. Nolan is totally to blame for that. permalink fedilink source parent
