Reply to Black Summer by pickledsoylentgreen
I had seen people in here recommending Z Nation, and I'd had an itch for a dystopian narrative and I enjoy the undead as a mechanism to discuss the human condition so I tried it - it was fucking atrocious.
The next time that I saw someone in here discussing it I asked about it, and they said 'no no that's trash, but you should try Black Summer, the prequel, MUCH better' yada yada... Again, having free time and an itch ... Again, completely lackluster and disappointed.
I don't understand the appeal of the direction of production, obviously the acting delivery is niche at best, and even if you enjoy campy stuff this is questionable. I just ... I just don't know what people see in it. I guess maybe these are the same people that kept the Walking Dead on the air for so long maybe.

Wow, sorry your reading comprehension is limited. Dude stated this:
> Yes, i made a comment with inaccurate financial numbers on a reddit post.
That's what I said. His subsequent explanation was basically a justification of why he made up numbers. I agree that the penalty is too little, which was made clear by the following:
> $500,000 isn't enough...
Somehow, dude still replied to emphasize that his point was still valid because the numbers are large. Where did I disagree that $500K wasn't enough, again? I didn't.
Point is that neither you or numbers guy know how to read, or read too much into whatever I wrote. And yet somehow, I'm the one being harangued lol
Don't expect much from Reddit XD
edit: also, he didn't come with numbers. These are the actual numbers: https://investor.foxcorporation.com/reports/quarterly-reports

Doesn't matter why he was fired. This is a post about listing actors that left the show they were good on

Fines go up. The threshold for meeting that fine is what never changes.
If you're ever unsure, just ask yourself, "Which way is more advantageous to the State?" You'll have your answer.

I heard they would pretend like the guest actors weren't even there and that they were kinda full of themselves. I kinda refuse to believe Julia could be a jerk though
Look up "armin shimerman seinfeld"

Kind of excited for this. I enjoy horror and so does my 8 year old daughter.
But it's kind of hard to find horror that isn't filled to the brim with violence, sex or religion being the hero of the story.

Every day someone stumbles upon something for the first time, no matter how many times it's been discussed on Reddit.

He was fired because Damon Wayans was a diva who still bailed on the show anyway because he couldn't be a professional and just do the work after he got his co star squeezed out.

Yes but the main plot is so fantastic it makes up for those stupid subplots.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in I'm on Episode 2 of Yellowjackets. Does it get better? No spoilers please. by [deleted]
Yea I usually try to give shows I may be interested in based on premise 3-4 episodes to grab me assuming I’m at least mildly entertained. may watch less if I’m really not enjoying the first few.
The thing is there is just so much content to watch and other things to do not tv relayed that it doesn’t make sense to watch shows you don’t enjoy in the hope it may get better down the line

i like the idea behind scaling up traffic tickets for someone's wealth/income, a few countries do that and it make sense. should happen with a lot of fines or else the fines don't even matter.
like that walmart heiress that keeps getting duis. what a dui in the end, like 20-30k? that's literally nothing to her. there is no incentive to change her behavior. but that amount is absolutely devastating to a working or lower-middle class person, achieving it's goal.

Reply to In what ways do you think "second screening" has changed what shows get made, how they're shot/put together, and what shows get popular? by bqzs
It's literally how Netflix engineers their content, down to the writing and direction. The inclusion of "second screen consideration" in it's content development is why sooo much of their stuff is just middling waste of bandwidth.
That's the primary way on which it's affected content.

No, it was interesting for like 2 episodes then got boring with unlikable characters and flash forwards.
It's like Lost for me, once the flashforwards started I couldn't stand watching anymore. This show could've been so much better if it just showed the teens.

Why’s that? Were they like the Friends cast and closed off to other actors appearing on the show.

all the evidence you need for this is looking at the increased popularity of new girl and community years after their endings.

You’re not wrong, but they also have been giving away $100,000 every week for an NFL pick’em contest. Which I’m pretty sure is just data collection racket at its core anyway. So what’s another $500,000.
If any business is able to just print it’s own money, it’s the NFL and it’s broadcast partners. I would not be at all shocked if it was 100% intentional.

> which has too much interference on it.
Edit: I'm being very literal about "interference" here but hopefully, the other pathologies are spelled out.
That doesn't sound right. That should be licensed bandwidth. I can easily see simply R squared loss or multipath being a problem ( multipath rejection being the one killer feature of 3.0 ) but if anybody's emitting on that band, I'd bet the FCC would like to know.
They'll take it less seriously than HF/UHF interference on aviation comms of course.
Then again, 7 is at the edge of a band plan.

The FCC does know. They are the ones that told me solar inverters are except from section 15 part b of their regs. We have suppression and shielding and cancellation on the inverters and the antenna. Engineers have been out. The only solution that would work is ground install of the antenna, because the issue is localized to the roof. I would lose several stations in a ground install, we did several tests. The only solution is replace all 24 inverters. Not worth it given I mostly watch TV at night, when there is no interference.
