They should have left his story with him being broken. It was a crime to not let Wynn be the conduit of the Pah-wraiths.

Which is great because he wasn't supposed to be a recurring character but Walton Goggins was so amazing they wrote him into the rest of the show

That’s not surprising at all since there are tons of Black Brazilians; more African slaves were taken there than anywhere else.

A lot of telenovelas these days were originally Turkish…

Wolverine getting his adamantium skeleton/backstory.
Edit to add: I am not a comic book guy, but it is my understanding that the whole weapon x experiments are actually a retcon of Wolverine's original story, and so well done and compelling that it seems like it's always been

I think it's a kid focused show that also provides valuable lessons for parents. I'm not going to lie, I watch an episode when I need a pick me up.

I thought it was pretty bad. I tried to sit through it because I was bored and sick at home or during lockdown or something. I finally gave up halfway through S2.

Yeah, Moira Kelly was actually 2nd billed in Season 1 behind Rob Lowe, then just disappeared. I always thought Mandy was meant to be a major player. I guess the writers didn't know what to do with her.

> All 3 leads are super likeable.
You and I have a very different idea of "likable". I think the leads are always picking unnecessary fights.
> I saw the whole show but haven’t read the books and had completely forgotten about that before you brought it up.
Why tho? Fantasy movies don't have conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are usually just true in fantasy novels. (Ex: Matrix had an in universe explanation for vampires).

It's crazy that she actually played on a cop show with Caruso after she played Jimmy Smit's cop wife on NYPD Blue and Smits was Caruso's replacement when he left the series.

I think the two timelines allow for two generations to fangirl the show simultaneously.

Ironic you brought up NYPD Blue because the first actor that came to mind when I read the title was David Caruso. He was great in Season 1, won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama and seemed a lock to win the Lead Actor Emmy, but decided he wanted a movie career and apparently was a problematic actor behind the scenes. Ended up losing the Emmy to his co-star Dennis Franz, then left the show after the first 4 episodes of Season 2. Not really fired, but seems like things weren't going to work out with Caruso had he stayed on the series.

Pre-Pam Anderson baywatch was a different show. If you ever caught it in syndication there a different tone to the first two seasons which was much more serious. More like a procedural.

So it was true, from a certain point of view.
