That’s a good catch, I think you’ve got it.

Per the original article, he was granted a TRO the day after the reported assault. I can’t speak to the laws in California, but there’s no practical way for a hearing the day after an incident to include any fact finding or arguments. The victim simply made a credible statement to a judicial officer that an immediate…

I worked both Baskin Robbins and a Regal Cinema in my teens, with shitty managers at both, and the theater was the superior job, no contest. Theater job means free movies, free popcorn, and free soda because the marginal cost on all those to the theater is very near zero. Ice cream actually costs that cranky old…

See? This person gets it.

And yet The In-Between (what’s bigger than a small, and smaller than a large? An in-between) made it to air with that title somehow.

You have more faith in “most people” than I do.

He has an extensive list of film credits on his resume.

Lost was grade-A JJ Abrams Mystery Box bullshit. Prometheus had redeeming values, but suffered from the attitude that if something made sense on a symbolic/metaphorical level, it doesn’t matter if it makes any sense on a literal level.

Just to repeat galdarn’s question in other words: what format? Your question is functionally the same as “what’s the TV show you recommend for people who doubt TV is interesting?” Well, it depends on what the viewer wants to see, obviously.

I guess I don’t understand how what you’re describing is any different between the binge and the week-by-week models. Once the resolution of The Big Mystery has aired, whether it’s the final week of the year, or as a part of a 13-episode block all dumped on the same day, you have to worry about the surrounding…

Even if we dismiss TV entirely, we’re not talking about the pay offers for CRA, we’re talking about the offers for the _sequel_. So, at the point these offers are being made, he’s got screenwriting credits on two solid-earning films, she’s got screenwriting credit on one solid-earning film.

But again, even under the binge model, nobody’s getting 121 episodes of Lost in one dump. If a 22 (or more likely 13) episode first season of Lost had dropped all at once, you’d see online reviews (based on 4-6 episodes delivered to reviewers) talking about the intriguing mystery, and blah blah blah, exactly like…

Nobody’s dropping 73 episodes in a lump. If GOT had shit the bed halfway through season 1, things certainly would have gone differently regardless of airing week-by-week or in a binge model. If the existing (edit: 8) seasons had been dropped in 8 annual chunks, I’m not confident the reception would have been…

I’d call Damon Lindelof’s career mixed, but it’s basically just all turds except for The Leftovers, which was brilliant.

I don’t think it was about trading off who was in charge, I think it was more literal than that—at the start of the prequels, there are two Sith, the Master and the Apprentice, and there are hundreds of Jedi. After the purge, there are two Sith and two surviving Jedi (Yoda and Obi-Wan). And sure, if you look at the EU…

Tail end of 2020 for me.

We call that a “what do you mean I’m almost 50?”

And yet not as far as a year like “2022" really ought to be. Boy, I feel old.

I would love a Green River Killer season, if only in the hopes of seeing Sheriff Hairspray Dave Reichert portrayed as the buffoon he is.

Took almost 2 years between seasons. The plan to involve the Atlanta Child Murders was announced in late 2017.
