I really don't understand why people are upset as the companies bringing Jojo overseas don't have the legal budget to fight all the lawsuits that would pop up from these references that aren't necessarily a fundamental part of the work. And they do make efforts to keep the names similar or change them to other…

This is true which hits on why adapting Jojo into a film is kind of a difficult process. Despite the fact that they're doing at least two Part 4 films, one could easily condense each film into a 2 hour movie and sacrifice little of the moments that move the plot forward. The issue is the best stuff in Jojo has minimum…

I feel the reason is because Part 4's setting is located entirely in one town and the action set pieces are pretty modest. In Part 3 they visit like a dozen different countries and there's multiple plane crashes and sinking freighters and imploding submarines throughout their adventure.

Just because. The author is really into fashion but the fact everyone is dressed like that is almost never brought up.

I'm not sure if the snark about whitewashing fits Jojo as about 70% of the characters in this Japanese series are white. They just picked one of the two (out of eight) parts that is actually set in Japan.

I was just thinking that this was such an odd choice to make a live action adaptation in 2016. Sure, if the studio's requirement was they had to adapt an anime that could be found on an early 90's Blockbuster shelf then yes, this could be a choice.

I do believe Jon Stewart was talking to some college students and someone in the audience asked him about the alleged sexual misconduct of Louis C.K. and Jon just sort of blew the question off (which, to be fair, the question was pretty out of nowhere). That might be what you're thinking of.

I believe the Golden Age of Television was a term coined a little after The Sopranos before TV really became what it is now. The medium has matured into something it could always be so it's not like we're in the Golden Age now, it was just before we were in the Dark Ages.

I remember thinking around episode 4 or 5 that Kerwin was such a likable character and that, by the very nature of him being on death row, it was going to be painful for both Daniel and the audience when he would be killed off in a later season. It was so devastating to see him go in episode 6 of the series.

This is my favorite currently running television show and one of my top 3 of all time. It's such an odd and beautiful show that really resonates with me. I've watched a few episodes of the series dozens of times already.

You can get enough FM for about 4 characters if you do all the story modes, all the Easy Survivals, the Demonstrations, Cinematic Story Mode (twice), and all of the Trials. This is easily accomplished in a day for most players, I'd think.

I think the concept and setting of the show allows it to outpunch it's weight class, dramatically. It certainly doesn't feel like a prestige drama and often feels like a sitcom about prison friends. But the fact that it's a very diverse cast and the majority of the characters are women makes it very unique in the…

From season 4's use of Daya I figure the writers don't have anything left to give her, so either this will spur new developments for her character or she's being written off.

There's so many characters on this that were introduced as being shitty people in a way to garner a laugh (Caputo jerking off to the crying inmate, as mentioned by Palliako). So I think the writers get stuck with a lot of pieces of shit who they need to conform into halfway decent people for narrative purposes. Caputo…

The cliffhanger was, of course, pre-Dallas police shooting so I imagine whatever plans they had will be tossed. Regardless, if the show is even halfway realistic (and it is often not) then there should be lots of consequences for many of the prisoners. I'm curious if the dead body of the guard will ever be brought up…

I'd rather they just remove a lot of these over-the-top monstrous characters (that all gathered in this one minimum security, women's prison as if a dark force compelled them there) because I don't know if they can be saved. It's one thing to show nuance in rapists and murderers, it's a whole other trying to humanize…

I think the writers knew what they were doing when they invoked "I can't breathe."

The majority of them weren't morally grey and it seems, looking back on the season, the writers perhaps foresaw some of the backlash to the Poussey/Bayley storyline so they overcompensated by making almost every other CO a cartoonish villain (to the point where the rapist from the previous season had to remind them…

Yeah, Piscatella started off as a nuanced character. An authoritarian was initially a relief as the scab C.O.s were horribly inept and let a massive prison break occur. Of course, he brought a cadre of officers with personalities plucked from a Rob Zombie movie with him. And yeah, his loyalty to his officers was a…

Wasn't the entire point of Bayley's backstory to show how his white privilege allowed him to avoid prison by essentially doing what got Poussey locked up in the first place? They really hammered it home when Bayley refused to believe he was going to be let go with a slap on a wrist. The whole "Bayley and Poussey"…
