From memory he originally had the claws on the gloves, they weren’t in him, when he faced the Hulk.

Then it was that Alpha Flight found him in the snow and his bones and claws were unbreakable metal. He had no memory of who he was.

Then the Weapon X Program was hinted at more and more in X-Men and then finally fully explained in the Weapon X story by Claremont and Windsor-Smith.

Then it was added to and altered with new characters being added to the origin and Weapon X.

Until finally they came out with the bone claws thing where he wasn’t “Logan” but “James Howlett” and the adamantium was added to existing claws rather than pure adamantium.

And now who knows where it’s at. Guy definitely gets fucked around a lot though.

I could be wrong about some of this…happy to stand corrected.

If you can stand the main character (which I personally have a really hard time doing) it's worth a watch

I haven't read the books, but I've been mostly enjoying the Tencent series. It definitely suffers a bit from its slower pacing, and can even feel a tad repetitive at times, but I respect what they're trying to do here. It's an interesting story, and there have been some good moments and emotional scenes that help break up some of the monotony.

I suspect that when I reach the end I'll say it probably should have been 20 episodes instead of 30 or something, but I also plan to watch all 30 regardless. Butchering it with an 8-episode series would've been much worse than going all-in on a full-sized adaptation. I definitely prefer too many episodes to too few.

> They also have instructions about the maximum number of words/characters (I don't remember which) a translator can use in a single line.

This is a standard across subtitles in general, not a Netflix-specific thing.

> I put on English sub and dub cause I watch it in the background but when I look up the difference is intense

Oh, then in that case it's intentional. If the sub and dub are different, then they aren't supposed to match up; they're separate translations.

Bobby becomes a changed character after the Major Briggs dream speech.

My daughter tried watching it and even in comparison to her other shows the writing was bad and the characters lacked any depth or nuance. It's a kids show, yeah I understand but there's other shows aimed at the same audience that aren't as terrible

It's a mystery box that decided to be a series instead of a self contained story. It's a dime a dozen these days and isn't good enough.

My easy answer to wrap it up is that the thing revives life like it was doing to the oil, it's the reason life continued living through extinction events, just toss Bobby B off the side and call it a day. It didn't need a season 2.

It was considered one of the best things on TV at the time and for years after, even though it was corny. People don't know about it because it ended 20 years ago and it didn't achieve immortal status like The Sopranos or The Wire. Also Prestige TV shows like Oz were for a select few back then. They didn't have the mass appeal you saw with Game of Thrones. It was almost like they were trying to alienate viewers with all the awful prison rape.

Fuck them.

It was ok. Went a bit 'Lost' at times.

They will put the blame on some employee and claim they had not been informed and have no information.

I hate that you're calling it an old show.

But yes. It became a cop show in the final seasons.

Doc spiraled downward. Hated it to.

Ok. Just doesn't seem fair to call it weird. (Unless you're referring to some of the more sexual parts of the fandom)

yeah, because it’s a huge tv show that they watched when they were kids. of course that’s what they’d associate with Star Wars

Mostly pokes fun at liberals.

Except for Dale, the rednecks are generally good people.

The sex ed episode ended with a parent talking to a kid about sex. Not a government employee.

The Hills went to church every Sunday.

Bush was a nice guy. The Clintons were scum.

Racism does not exist in Arlen.

Liberal activists, especially, are overgrown children.

It never addressed the confederate flag, which was problematic.

He was not fired per se but got ill and was not able to continue. A very strange and very sad story. It was kept secret up until his death, then made public for his request. "I'll take the secret to my grave. - No, take it to MY grave..." :( https://youtu.be/AwyAo_YjtdM

> Seymour walks by

i hate these kinds of jokes on the shows with huge character rosters. just have characters materialize for a single joke at their expense rather than spend any amount of time setting up the bit.

I thought it had a good concept but as episodes went by i felt it became poor imo. I enjoyed it regardless

JMS, the writer always stated that the parting was amicable. Sinclair appeared in a cameo in S2 and in the two-part episode War Without End in S3, which closed Sinclair's story arc. In real life, the cameo for S2 was recorded before the actor got hospitalized to start treatment for his symptoms which were as severe as something alike schizophrenia and the two-parter was shot when his condition was stable enough for filming again, but the side effects of his meds were not all too obvious yet, although the viewers could feel something was wrong, he had some odd blinking at some scenes.

The season 2 twist? Apparently everybody figured that out over on the subreddit. I wasn't there at the time but it was pretty funny going back and reading. Id have never guessed it myself but it is excruciatingly obvious in hindsight.

What question would you prefer remain unanswered in Mr. Robot

we only had like 5 tv stations with 3 being private tv stations that would import tv shows from the US rather than showing self produced german stuff. so a lot of these shows that were 'big' in germany were only big because it was the only alternative to watching some german soap or documentary or something.

so it's not that there were 20 shows but we all wanted to watch "King of Queens", it was just the only thing on if you switched on the tv at 19:15

I was watching my 3 year old nephew, and my brother tells me to just throw on some Bluey to keep him occupied for a little.

3 episodes later and I'm asking my nephew if we can watch another one. Was shocked at how good it is.
