Nah…they used to pump out 4-5 shows at the CW annually. I’m talking about DC Universe where they had stuff like Doom Patrol, Harley Quinn, Titans, Stargirl, and Swamp Thing.

Pretty ambitious to say something like that, let's see if they can actually deliver on this

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet.
Scrubs, season 3, episode 14, "My Screw Up."
Go watch it. Then watch it a second time and appreciate how well the writers set everything up.

Reply to The Empty Sentiment of The Last of Us by BuckedMallard
I liked the episode and definitely wiped away tears but I sooort of get the point he’s making. While the relationship elements themselves were great, the worldbuilding was limited and was a bit too sweet for the Last of Us world.
I would have liked to see (a) about 10% more tie to Joel and Ellie’s story, the segue from the dead woman to Bill’s entire story was a bit abrupt and Joel could have had more than one appearance in Bill’s backstory.
And (b) been a bit more realistic about the whole peaceful white picket fence life. Found it hard to buy that they could live so out in the open like that once raiders knew where they lived. They could be easily be picked off while outside by a sniper - they’d have to be careful. Showing them continue to love each other as they grew older under these trying circumstances would have been a plus.
It felt very Station Eleven and this isn’t a Station Eleven post apocalypse world. Yes, there is light, but you have to look for it in the darkness.

Are you talking about the horrible CW shows? 😂
I'm sure Gunn could put out 10 CW quality shows a year if he wanted to.

They gave their audience an authentic and loving gay relationship that a straight person can appreciate. No stereotypes. Just love.

Hard agree on Contest and Bicameral Mind.
Unfortunately I haven’t seen Sopranos or Lost, I’ve kind of accepted I missed the moment on the latter, but the former is on my watchlist waiting for me to be in that mob/crime mood.

Reply to comment by Zeelthor in Why is ‘Warrior Nun’ the most-talked about TV show on the internet? by Justdip1
Yeah agreed S1 was very meh to me, I stuck it out bc it was released during pandemic and I had nothing but time.
S2 got no promotion but I wanted to follow up, overall it got way better (minus the lack of continuity from finale for a hot minute.)
Better action sequences, pacing, storylines - very enjoyable (and binge-able) watch
I def think it deserves another season after S2.

Reply to comment by Dayofsloths in ‘Tuca & Bertie‘ Creator and More Condemn Warner Bros Discovery Merger: It ’Cost Us the Support We Needed to Thrive’ by MarvelsGrantMan136
Well Tuca & Bertie was a fantastic cartoon that continued and evolved what Hanawalt did with Bojack Horsman and her works in other mediums. So its quality as a cartoon for sure wasn't the reason for the cancelation. I'm not saying that misogyny is the reason either. But I can see how women that make quality products in a pretty much male dominated industry and still get their shows canceled will look for answers in the social status-quo

> Paradise Lost: The duo describe this HBO Max series as a Game of Thrones-style drama set on the all-female island that is Wonder Woman’s birthplace,
A Game Of Thrones style Themyscira Show? I’m in.

Meh..not excited by any of these announcements and pretty disappointed that Peacemaker series two is indefinitely delayed due to Gunn working on the Superman movie and the general DC rebuild.
Also not keen on the news they are only aiming for 2 DC TV shows per year. DC Universe used to manage more than that volume on their own! If HBO Max cannot afford to produce the DC shows then I’m sure Apple, Amazon, or Netflix would love to fund and air them!

Not sure if I'm more excited about Berlanti parting ways or Booster Gold/Lanterns. It's definitely a win-win scenario though.

The reviewers got all of the episodes to watch earlier this year, so the person writing this may well have a fuller scope of the show than those of us watching it week to week.

I really wished we had gotten to see Donald Faison be Booster Gold for longer than 5 minutes on Legends of Tomorrow, I feel like he’d be great at it

I think it's a good episode. A little ham fisted, but well made. I wanted them to make Bill a little less "Ron Swanson" lovable, and more cynical in outlook, so the love story would be even more special. But in general, a very good episode that explores something tender and beautiful in a Zombie genre. Very unprecedented.

the cw not wanting another season doesn't necessarily mean it has to end
