It’s a symptom of the ridiculous growth-driven era of capitalism we’re stuck in. It’s no longer good for a product to be consistently popular and successful: it has to be MORE successful every single time, or it’s a failure.

Freedumbs is just another word for drowning in my own fluids!

If it’s already jumped to cows and dolphins, it’s only a matter of time until it makes the jump to humans, but at least, if the pandemic taught us anything, we’ll react to the coming bird flu pandemic in the most ignorant, uneducated, anti-science, and blindly politicized way possible, so there’s that.

I know the water part will throw some people off, but dolphins are mammals.  This is starting to get my attention.

Fun fact:  autopsies are for humans.  Animals get necropsies.

I have a sort of double-edged train of thought on this; I’ve never really liked the Doctor being a “romantic” figure at all - I always felt in the older days especially, there was this sense of ‘apartness’ that helped fuel the character (and made the Companion important as the lens by which to see the Doc function).…

I wonder if the actors contracts were up for renegotiation?  It seems, when a show gets cancelled without a good reason, it’s usually because the network doesn’t want to have to deal with paying the actors new higher salaries when their contracts are up.

If you like modern sitcoms, yes. It has very little to do with BBT. It is a single camera sitcom with decent amounts of character development and is quite wholesome. It doesn’t overuse its setting of the early 1990s, and it is more about an older guy (Sheldon from BBT) narrating a story about how he didn’t fully…

Thank you for this! I suspected that’s what it was, and kept meaning to go back and check but never did.

Useless fact 2! In countries that don’t use the US’s date formatting, it was shown as 101097.

Useless fact! Hanks authorisation code is 101097 , the date that Fallout 1 was released!.

I thought it was marginally hilarious that something accurately labeled the Michael Burnham show in previous seasons focused the episode on two things: a confrontation between Michael Burnham and Michael Burnham, and the moral dilemma of the episode being the rippling aftereffects of a brand new Burnham as a mutineer…

...and yet, this episode was so emotionally empty, for all its efforts to evoke emotion. Maybe it’s because these characters can’t hold a candle to the likes of Shatner’s Kirk, Nimoy’s Spock, Stewart’s Picard, or Brook’s Sisko. In the end, I don’t blame the actors—I blame the writers and producers, who just aren’t up…

“But above all, “Face the Strange” is Michael’s episode”.

Hahaha. Cyber truck owners deserve everything they get.

I agree with this, Schneider may not have sexual abused these kids behind the scenes and but the labor issues, the sexualization of children on camera, favoritism, etc. but all these things really leaves them open to be groomed and abused by others on set.

I suspect what happened here is that the filmmakers were trying to chase down a much bigger and more coherent story that would’ve implicated Dan Schneider in the more grievous sexual allegations, whether by action or knowing/negligent inaction, but they never got there. So they took their one bombshell element, Drake…

It’s always hard to know what the REAL story is these days, but their responses mirror those of Marc Summer who also said the producers brought him in to discuss the old Nickelodeon days. He gave a few responses (that they actually included in the documentary) and once he figured out what the project was actually…

Yep. It basically was the standard ID true crime porn.

This does indeed sound like the grubbiest of gotcha journalism by the makers.
