I feel like people who are expecting some sort of epic well told experience from Power Rangers don’t really recall the show- or have romanticized it to the point that they’ve created something that never existed.

Naw, fuck ‘em. It could easily be on broadcast television, and I have no issue paying for my media (see the hundred bucks a month statement from earlier) - but naked shameless manipulative cash gabs like this need to be punished.

I really don’t think Star Trek of all franchises needed to be made more edgy to the point of not being fit for TV.

I don’t think I’ve ever paid that much for a season pass for a show on Amazon, but yes, if you buy it and then cancel it immediately after the season ends it’s not terribly unreasonable, just like buying HBO Now only for the duration of Game of Thrones or Westworld. Although I’d lay odds that most people won’t

That is how SyFy has always been. They fill out their timeslots with garbage that is just so terrible its enjoyable drunk and they do fine. But the argument that Science Fiction doesn’t work on network television still is idiotic because with a good budget and team behind the show it will succeed. Deep Space

And if they didn’t have a regular old TV network at their disposal to air the show, nobody would mind.... But they do, so fans may feel a bit ripped off.

It’s that I have to be selective on what streaming I subscribe to. Netflix is 10 bucks, the WWE Network is 10 bucks. That new Hulu model is 10 bucks. . . pretty soon, I’m dropping over a hundred on streaming services.

CBS would be smart to let someone like CW or Netflix handle distribution and just collect the money. Of course they think they can use it to prop up their shitty streaming service so that’ll never happen.

It is the principle of it. Star Trek has always aired on regular television and done perfectly fine. CBS claims that Sci-Fi shows don’t work on network television anymore and that is bullshit and that is why they are going the pay wall route. SyFy is producing actually respectable science fiction programming right as

Too bad no one will watch it being on a paywall that is just CBS.

When your only tool is astromycology, every weekly villain is going to turn out to be a fungus.

I’m totally enjoying it though.

I don’t care anymore. We’re getting Young Justice back! We don’t need to cling on desperately for JLU Lite.

I’m enjoying this series precisely because it does strive for accuracy.

It’s hard to win with you nerds.

As I said above, season 1 is solid, but it is season 2 where the show really started to shine. Like a lot of great shows, season 1 is really bogged down by trying to establish the core characters and the foundations of the world, and it is season 2 where everything really starts to gel.

I think season 2 was objectively more mature in its storytelling. Season 1 was great, and probably one of the best seasons of non-comedy animation aimed at adults in American history, like a lot of truly great shows, it wasn’t until season 2 really shined

Where are the ones with guys being scammed? Half the “girls” on Tinder are scams or fake.

Of course it is different. Costco and Sam’s Club are completely members only. It’s not like you go to that store thinking otherwise.

It doesn’t cost $100 or so a year for a membership to Sam’s Club or Costco. I certainly can’t afford Amazon Prime membership and for awhile now heavily relied on being able to order things off Amazon at significantly lower prices than I would pay locally or at similar online retailers.
