“should be obvious to pretty much anyone who knows Scooter Braun’s name.”
And who would that be?

I still can’t believe ANYONE trusts a grown ass adult named Scooter with anything.
I recently started rewatching the OC, and I always kind thought it could have gone at least one more season, especially given how much season 4 revitalized the show... But then I realized the first season was TWENTY-SEVEN episodes. That’s literally more than half a year with new episodes of the OC. By modern…
The biggest mistake the CW ever made was not renewing their Netflix contract. It basically paid for all of their shows. The CW thought the revenue from HBO Max from their shows would make up the difference. It did not. If the CW renewed that contract, Warner and CBS probably don’t sell their stake in the network.…
I really enjoyed the first season of this show, when it was 13 episodes. Kept the story kind of tight and focused. When I tried to watch the second season that had a full order boy was it a chore to do 20+ episodes. Never made it past that. A shorter season run with few episodes isn’t the worst thing in the…
CW is the weirdest experiment. It never made money. What money it made primarily came from licensing to streamers and foreign rebroadcasters. All its shows were niche and led the network to spend roughly 2 bucks for every 1 it earned. And it went on for 16 years.
This has to be a joke, right? I’ve been a SW fan for almost 40 years, but I never watched The Clone Wars. I’ve never heard of Ezra Bridger, and this article almost single-handedly makes the case that Ahsoka isn’t going to matter to me.
Ah yes, the show that had me and my family screaming “WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING”
It’s brought to you by the folks behind the Book of Boba Fett, so you know it’ll be great.
Oh honey, if they were cowards they wouldn’t have bought your little show to begin with or given you a four episode wrap up after cancelling it. This is just cold hard reality. It wouldn’t make any sense to waste money for micro-season that wouldn’t air for a good year or even two at this point.
The “good reason” for Ahsoka to exist should be that it’s a well-told story made by competent professionals. How it ties into the increasingly stupid lore of Star Wars is a distant second (or maybe third, or fourth).
That might make sense if we were talking about a business that was making money, but most large streaming players take a loss on what they produce already. For them it makes more sense financially to allow the strike to continue than to produce more content. If this were in any other context, say a steel plant, the…
That’s kind of my thought. If a show did just well enough to get renewed and then hadn’t even started production before the strike, is it worthwhile to keep everyone involved tied to that contract for an indefinite period of time? If season 2 of The Peripheral isn’t going to start filming until 2025 or something, is…
As derivative as Riverdale seemed, it always marched to the beat of its own insane drummer. It is like the weird building in Ghostbusters. “They don’t make ‘em like that any more.” “No! They never made them like this!”
This isn’t surprising or unreasonable on the part of Amazon. The strikes are a valid reason for them to rethink their production pipeline. You have to keep in mind that for Amazon these shows are products first and foremost. If there are delays to getting a product to market it’s perfectly valid for them to adjust…
Does Taylor Swift bear any responsibility for her fans encroaching on a friend’s special day?
“But this post isn’t about all that. About all the ways this show has been put through the ringer. Not today.”
So unlike many recent Star Wars projects which put unnecessary focus on fan-favorite characters and franchise loose-end-tying, Ahsoka will put necessary focus on fan-favorite characters and franchise loose-end-tying. Got it!
How many weeks will this show run? Wanna know so I can come back for the inevitable "Were Ahsoka's Unsatisfying Answers Really Necessary?" article.
