Reply to AMC Orphan Black: Echoes shared the first photos of its upcoming Krysten Ritter-led sequel by Atlast_2091
I'll give the first episode a go but I'm unsure what direction a sequel can take and if it can be a bit more stable/focused compared to Orphan Black (which I did enjoy).

That episode made a lot less sense in college. I thought fraternities were for everyone who wanted to join. In reality they are for the rich and well off students. Those who are struggling to pay for tuition aren't in fraternities or sororities. When you realize that you see that one guy messing with Carlton is just playing the struggling guy. I've seen that trope in various shows. The rich kid playing a poor kid kind of deal.

Reply to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s 2022 Pay Package Hits $39.3M by MarvelsGrantMan136
So, based on the article, the main thing that Zaslav achieved was reducing debt load (by eliminating the need for outside financing) and increasing free cash flow. For people in finance, what would be the benefit, from WBD's perspective, from reducing debt load? Does it mean that they generate higher profit yields from projects or is there some tax or other reason why this would be important to a company like this?

Aka, the marketing is spinning up so instead of knowing who is working on anything they make us wait until can get clicks out of it by dribbling long finished credits over weeks. Terrible state of the industry, and shitty for the people working who can’t trade on their completed work until the corporation decided to announce it.
SAG needs to shut this delayed announcement and NDA shit down. People need to apply for work, and Disney is kind of a huge deal on a resume.

How they’re handling the Resistance/Republic conspiracy is what’s most interesting

I loved Orphan Black
The plot was all over the place in the later seasons but it was worth watching for Tatiana Maslany

Seems about the same as the previous seasons to me. Not the greatest thing ever, but enjoyable enough. Also definitely doesn't feel as cheap as Kenobi and Boba Fett shows.

Reply to comment by PartyxAnimal in How are you liking Season 3 of The Mandalorian so far? by esran7
That scene with him doing a speech to his citizens.. and they would make up 1/2 of your average high school class..
Another pet peeve I had with that section, it's a big city - How the hell do you evacuate an entire city? Especially from a ship directly above said city?
Their crayon show, the bad batch has much stronger story than s3 mandalorian.

Reply to anyone agree with me that if an actor plays a Character on a TV show for long enough you can't replace them or it is just weird? by Purple_Monkey34
Feeling this with Superman and Lois season 3. The actor who played Jonathan Kent dropped out now it feels so weird cause he had perfect chemistry with the actor who played his brother.

yeah, I can’t really talk about SW on r/movies. I’ve made the same comment above but I’d often get some nasty replies

The vampire diary type shows do this a lot I think. characters ebb and flow from villain to ally to mind controlled, etc....

Still think the animated ones (Clone Wars, Rebels, and now Bad Batch) are even higher in quality, and already in a more "verse" that Mando and those are building on.

Reply to comment by FlaveC in The Big Door Prize review – Chris O’Dowd’s comic timing is immaculate in this beautifully light sci-fi by PetyrDayne
It definitely has a strong philosophical undercurrent in it, so I'd agree it's closer to The Good Place in that regard.

Tim Reid's dramedy Frank's Place had a very affecting two-parter about how drug use and trade form a wall separating people from their loved ones.
Both episodes:
