Reply to comment by ascagnel____ in There should be a setting to watch TV shows that aired in the same block together by AvailableUpstairs912
Happy Endings and other shows have a release order and chronological order. This should an option

They are never good. They had always butchered asian subtitles.

I still use TV Time. Mainly for its comment section. If you want discussion unfortunately I don't think think there's any tracking app better right now. But goddamn TV Time has been shitting their bed these past couple years.
I have a theory that a few years ago some big company bought them out, which is probably why after the 4.15 update we lost some cool features and the user interface changed completely. Such a fuckin' shame though, the app feels neglected.

Reply to comment by MikeOfAllPeople in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow
I mean kind of but it’s a literal children’s show, for like 5yr olds.

Haha, no!
Honestly I didn’t even watch them when they were on TV (except maybe Smallville for a bit), I just knew they were out there.

Reply to comment by thefilmer in Should I watch Mr. Robot? I keep hearing it’s one of the best shows ever. by 1000Fatkidz
Most of it anyway, Angela >!was killed off because her actress wanted out of the show, this has been confirmed both by her actress and Sam Esmail. Whilst a reason has never been formally given (some rumours claimed she had a messy breakup with Rami Malek but that could be rubbish) it's notable that she hasn't acted in anything since, so she possibly was just fed up with acting in general.!<

I don't know if its a genuine retcon but the difference in Cpt Pike from the original pilot where he was kind of an out of touch guy getting used to changes in Starfleet to what's essentially the perfect execution of the boy scout trope is great.
Characters like Pike, Cpt America and Superman when done well are so good because I find characters maintaining their moral code in difficult times way more interesting than the flawed anti heroes that have been popular the last few decades.

Moira Kelly did seem like an outsider even though he was 2nd billed.

Station Eleven... did not live up to its potential. But I'm still pleasantly surprised to still see it be mentioned on here. It was a good watch.

Is this a retcon, or adding more lore? I'm genuinely curious as I have no recollection.

Your question will get no substantive response.

Leftovers season 2 might be my favorite season of television ever. It's in the group photo, at least.

Reply to comment by b1ame_me in What tv show writing room would you have loved/love to be a part of? by PatientBalance
My guess is it’s a combo. They were frustrated with having less creative control than they had before and then got a much better offer. For the record I think avatar live action is a bad idea

OP is slick. Instead of merely creating a "recommendations post" that would surely be deleted, they made an outlandish statement knowing people would offer recommendations do prove them wrong.

I prefer the mangas for Berserk and Vinland Saga, but the latter was animated way better than I anticipated
