I very much want atsc 3.0 to be a thing and I am sick of waiting.

Glad I did not pull the trigger and buy a tuner. At this rate the spec will be replaced before it even gets rolled out.

No the reason to tell me is so that I’m not frustrated by trying to figure out if a time jump happens every time there’s a cut. I explained why there’s a reason to do it.

The scathing take on these sorts of shows from "Don't Look Up" is reference-grade. I'm sort of surprised that name stars actually participated. Perhaps there is hope after all.

House of the Dragon is just a $200,000,000 soap with the occasional dragon and it's great too.

Social Media thrives on this trope with various up-vote mechanics...likely to the detriment of many a conversation.

There is no reason to tell you either.

Worst ending ever

"But what you don't understand is that ALL life is precious to me!"

".. Didn't you kill a guy with your fingernails in season 2?"

Wired has an interview up with Charlie Grandy, the credited creator and writer and here's a snippet

Velma began three or four years ago when Kaling was invited to peruse the Warner Bros. catalog and unearthed a latent affinity with Velma. “She had seen herself in that character growing up,” Grandy says. As he and Kaling developed the show, they were always aware of Velma’s online legacy and “really wanted to honor that.”"

I think it's patently false to say she's just an EP with no involvement

Jimmy and Kim from Better Call Saul

For me that's primarily only true if you're using VoD for broadcast network shows (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox). Cable-originals still tend to be either ff through the ads (e.g., SyFy, TNT, BBC America, Animal Planet, etc.) or ad-free (e.g., HBO, TCM)

Whenever I hear that word I have to say it like my man Desmond.

PENN-EHHHH!!!!

I say it much less lately since we don't use much change anymore and don't even give them out!

It’s taking so long though!

Aside from maybe Rome, I think you got all of the best shows with historical battle.

If you're looking for more Modern, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and The Walking Dead include several.

If you're looking for sci-fi/futuristic, Star Trek, The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars: Rebels.

Borderlands 3 was the first time I noticed it, there was a huge red chest on your ship that could only be opened if you had the pass or a DLC.

The Tom Clancey games are pretty bad especially with starting a quest and not being able to complete it unless you have the DLC. It was embarrassing how much time I spent trying to do the General Anderson quest until I figured out you needed the DLC to do it.

> Overall average show, neither amazing nor terrible.

How very Netflix of them!

Preaching to the choir sweetie

I think you buried one of the leads regarding this show though understandable since it pertains to the DVD's.

It seems like it's been decades since I watched the DVD outtakes on repeat with tears and snot running down my face, I have never since laughed so hard.

Comedy gems and genius all around.

I didn't like the first episode of The Wire, but it's one of the best shows ever. Fortunately I watched it at a time when there wasn't all that much worthwhile to do on a phone.

So are you watching the show or just the YT channels? Cause watching just reactions really doesn’t give you an opinion

It’s a show with complex emotions and massive payoffs. The situations can be depressing but they lead to outcomes which can be uplifting and inspiring.

Yeah. I liked it back when it aired. It was one of those late 90s/early 2000s sci-fish shows that were pretty formulaic but had some fun twist. And an attractive female main cast member in a position of power.

7 Days had a guy who time travels one week into the past, The Invisible Man had... Um.. the invisible man. John Doe had the guy from Prison Break but as an amnesiac who knows everything (though noticeably half the stuff he says is wrong if you Google it). They all felt pretty similar and all got cancelled before their overarching mystery got solved.

And yet Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski weren't fired, and their story didn't embarass or harm their company, quite the contrary.

Also, TFA mentions that this could be legally tricky for ABC:

> ABC News may have to thread a needle, proving via legal means that the pair behaved unprofessionally at work.

So any legal reason is just a retroactive attempt at justification.

> and if you fuck that up in any way in a public facing role I’m sure you can still be fired in your country, even if the reason you fucked it up (like having an affair) is apparently normally protected.

Sure, for all sorts of reasons. Except having an affair. That's nobody's business here (France) and a private matter between the two people and their families. And that's why I can't understand it, and so far none of the explanations have been convincing and are contradicted by TFA, since it's neither a legal reason, nor a contract reason. It's purely a cultural reason.

It was a great series that I watched ages ago but I still think about often. It really sticks with you.

I'm shocked at the positive comments. I thought it was awful, the character Jason is playing is such a farce, its unbearable to watch
