I’m intrigued that Hardwick was able to record some episodes before his death, so that means Dale will be a part of the revival. Still, while there’s plenty of talented VAs out there, I’m just not sure if it will be successful without him. Go back and watch the series and really pay attention to just how vital Dale…

It’s not about rape being bad or not for conservatives...it’s about who gets to rape.

Republicans are about ready nominate a rapist for president.

I just looked and Weaver has never won an Oscar.   She is fucking amazing in everything she is in.  

Also a complete right wing freak who hated black people. Let’s not leave that part out just because he played a few cool characters.

Alien Nation wasn’t a bad TV show, especially for early Fox Network.

Hell yeah, it was propulsive and understood it had to earn the viewer’s investment. Any original show has to make a case for itself. But shows based on IP you already know can get so lazy...I think a lot of Disney+ series are like this.

Can’t believe you didn’t include the Venture Brothers in this one. Plenty of shows take big swings at the end of season one but only Venture had the guts to actually kill off its title characters, then spend the season two opener on the surprise reveal that the boys had been clones all along, that the original Hank…

Yep. 10 million subscribers at $10/month gets you a slick $1.2 billion a year. Operational costs aren’t cheap cheap, but as long as you’re not overbuying content and projecting exponential growth in perpetuity, that’s a frickin’ great business.

Glad I checked before I posted the same thing.  Woof that was a stinker.  It looked like a second season may have been better, but don’t give me a whole prolog season of boring nonsense and badly lit fights.

Like every other studio that foolishly stumbled into the streaming business 10 years late, only to find, yup, no money there,

Ah, the wonderful time of having your entertainment and probably all other choices decided entirely by what serves the most wealthy of civilization’s whims and foibles.

Yeah, well, a lot of us didn’t take too kindly to how much it sucked.

I can think of at least one time they encountered a human within the show, when their rivals the Sour Grapes Gang sent some creepy little dancer girl to deliver a message.

Course: reverse racism II, electric boogaloo

Wait, I think I just discovered the first case of reverse, reverse racism? I’m pretty sure they have to name something after me for this.

Shuri was shouting internet memes though. Wakanda didn’t let the outside world know much about it but it sent War Dogs around the world learning about the world, and has presumably done so for centuries. Wakanda imports culture, it just doesn’t export it. Well, it didn’t.

“Wakanda should belong to all of Africa”

The problem with making up a new culture for whole cloth would be that it would no longer be an African Nation, but a nation that happened to be in Africa. You at least would need to be influenced by African things to say it was African.

Unless Wakanda was the mother culture of them all. Or cultural exchange. It is not clear, purposely so, how much contact Wakanda had with other cultures, and when they decided to isolate themselves.
