Tbh it was kind of nice to not have weird tension/chemistry throughout the whole thing.

Seems like all streaming needs to do this. That way you at least have a miniseries which can hold value for the service over time. Also it would open up options for a show that pickups an audience later in its run...

I've always thought it is important to have that material around to remind us of where we've been and how far we've come. There's value in having those reminders. Sanitizing the past just makes it easy to repeat those mistakes. It also makes it easier for people to stand in the way of progress when the progress made in the past is erased.

are they going to improve the acting? just a little bit?

Please don’t remind me. I refuse to watch that piece of shit play and I’m so disappointed in Cleveland for signing him.

I’m not that family with Cartoon Network daytime shows, but weren’t their most popular and acclaimed shows always on adult swim/late night shit? I mean kids are at school on weekdays at daytime, how can you expect daytime cartoons to have big viewership?

Disney started doing it with Loki as well. Think there’s too much competition on Friday’s with all the streamers.

If the Tories were that hated they wouldn't keep getting in. Which was a similar dynamic to Savage's heyday.

Think about how much gnashing of teeth there was over BBC not being deferential enough, or the clear moves to punish Channel 4 for factually unflattering reporting.

I sorta feel like Batgirl would have made more than this. Fitting.

That's the thing. I don't think Friends would be made any more or less careful today than it was in the '90s. Even then, there were absolutely topics they weren't going to touch or jokes they couldn't make for fear of backlash. Racial jokes that would've been perfectly acceptable a couple decades ago would've had the NAACP up in arms (rightfully) and sponsors pulling out. I'd be extremely surprised if they didn't have a few jokes over the course of the show where there was a debate if it'd be okay to have in the script or not and concern over how audiences would react.

People act like everyone is so sensitive and that "comedy is dead!" now, but the reality is we're just sensitive about different things as understanding and acceptance changes. There have never been jokes that are not seen as crossing a line to some of the audience, and that's a large part of the reason networks have Standards and Practices departments. It's just that whatever is the group that is the common butt of jokes ceases to be once people realize they're, you know, people with feelings, and the people who told those jokes don't want to move on and find something new to joke about, so they whine (sometimes on their sold out comedy tours) instead of finding new material.

And, of course, the whole "comedy is dead" thing is complete nonsense, something provable given how much comedy is readily available on every major streaming platform, written by talented individuals who know how to still be funny even if certain topics become taboo.

It makes me wonder what things will be like when the kids of the "offended" generation come of age. How will they rebel against their parents?

Lesbo wasn't considered offensive back then. There are a lot of words that started off inoffensive, but then became considered offensive over time. A century ago "retarded" was considered an actual medical term, and was used in textbooks (it literally means "slow"). Now its very offensive.

It's generic as hell. Been done dozens of times.

Anyone notice that no one ever goes EVA in the Star Wars universe?

They cancelled 1899 and renewed this generic shit?

I'm pretty sure all of those were in development before he came along.

Season one of this crew is now worked together and has been season by dealing with the changeling problem. Now they have to go to Deep Space 9 to get orders from Kyra because there’s still some terrorist groups running around the beat a quadrant. Season one can beat them making sure there’s no one else trying anything stupid. Season finale should be with them dealing with it  As well as character growth for Jack. They should make him an acting ensign.  There should also be some serious repercussions for the better quadrant.

 Season two things are fine. It looks like the Cardassians are Jo ining the Federation, but a civil war breaks out. It looks like the other side definitely has some heavy hitters helping them out like the Breen and maybe some old Jem Hadar, just for the heck of it. More character growth definitely lots of space battles, and even political intrigue. Some old familiar faces from deep space nine and Voyager show up to help.

 Season 3 Seven s missing. No one knows if she’s alive or not, but Jack and the rest of the ensigns takeoff on their own by borrowing the defiant. Shaw could bring the hammer down on them but he gives them cover and they go off on their own crazy mission. Turns out now that the borg want to join the Federation a lot of their old enemies have come back to try and hunt them down and seven is trying to find a home world for them. the new world is in the Delta quadrant. Janeway Tuvok and captain Harry Kim are all involved.

 Season four has them return to the beta quadrant.  Captain Ezri Dax has made first contact with a new species.  The titan shows up to do second contact stuff, and this season can actually just be a lot more fun and exploration, and it might even include cameos from Captain Boimler and his first officer Mariner. 

Guess.i need.to go back and finish season 1!

Walter White was terrible at coming up with lies, and his face revealed it all every time he lied to Skyler.

I got secondhand embarrassment just watching him at work.

The only good lie he told was >!telling Jesse he didn't poison Brock!<.

RIP Shadow and Bone

Relatable to majority of America (haha)

... Ted loves his job though. And he's not depressed, just has mild anxiety.

Suits was another show that was notoriously bad at this.

LOL, that hurt to read. I liked Luck a lot.
