I suspect that Orange is the New Black getting renewed for its fifth through seventh seasons all at once is setting up for them to plan to end with its seventh. House of Cards is completely unpredictable in its sheer incompetence.

Oh I see what you did there.

It had a second season last year and is set for a third.

Yeah, that plus the season only being ten episodes means it'll end in November without any big hiatus in the middle.

I really want that Barb, Greg and Vidalia cards episode. If not for the gayness and Pearl character development and how personally identifiable/relatable her story was, then that one would appeal to me more, as its aesthetic definitely beats all the indie garage rock teen movie stuff.

I'm asexual, and that was so tremendously upsetting to stumble upon, I just want to thank you along with everyone else who did for calling that shit out. I'm a transwoman, and seeing that didn't just call up my bad feelings about my sexuality, but my dysphoria too.

I think his asexuality was confirmed by the writers.

I appreciate the purpose, but I don't think the execution of it or the thematic aspects was strong for the most part. It doesn't help that I really don't like Looney Toons, *ducks*, so the style shift and homage had less value for me.

Even just going by the silly insistence that another season would have to match the length/episode count of the first one*, we've already past that point.

A friend of mine and I are big fans of Log Date functioning as a season finale, personally. I generally prefer the structure of the climax not occurring in the finale, providing downtime for fallout and reflection, which S2 with Message Received and S3 with Earthlings have matched to my delight.

When she said that line, I immediately thought of PSH's relapse and how one's tolerance for a greater volume of something will have gone down in the off-period, leaving them more vulnerable to overdose.

I'll save the link to the interview for the finale review for the sake of other spoilers, but I'm going to go ahead and talk about some stuff now:

Also what happened to Margaret Cho with All American Girl.

35-36 now, actually.

Horse! Heroin!

I don't know if that's a newer or older version of her origin, but the one I was familiar with was that Marvell crashed and died and that exposure to his energy from being in the crash radius gave her the powers, complete with a dying breath speech from Marvell just like Jordan got.

He did!

I wasn't so much talking about quality of series, I said sounds because Discovery is literally the only thing they have announced that could carry it at this point, unless that The Good Wife spinoff gets a larger audience than anyone would expect. Netflix didn't get itself where it is with just one series.

NBC's streaming service. It's stronger overall than CBS All Access sounds, at least.

There was talk of that at some point, but it's unclear if they're still doing that.
