Nielsson, Rhys, and Bryce have been there the whole series. They say their names quite often, so you have to almost purposefully not be paying attention to not remember them.

The show was created with the intention of focusing on one character unlike other Trek shows. It was baked into the whole thing. Then after…

Because a threat that only applies to the 2nd floor bathroom often isn’t written to be as exciting.

Eh, fuck the complainers. I’ve enjoyed every episode, warts and all. They can cry about it until they choke.

I feel like Netflix is creating this self-defeating loop with viewers on their shows. Netflix canceling so many shows is teaching viewers to hold back on watching anything that they aren’t already super psyched to watch just in case it doesn’t get renewed, but that actually contributes to the likelihood that Netflix…

To be fair, you can lay that one at the feet of the original film.

I love how bizarre and nightmarish that original film is! It really was a crazy horrorshow for kids. If they make it even more horrific, I’m there for it.

Personally, I’d include it, and I’d double down on those aspects.
