Prepare for a PM from OP asking why you specifically don't like this as if you're the only person who thinks this is fucking dumb and self-aggrandizing.

Reply to Is there an expression for liking the the experience of watching a character regardless if they are likeable? by Holmbone
Likeable characters don't have to be likeable people.

Reply to comment by MissDiem in Is Chernobyl the scariest TV show ever made? by [deleted]
Why not share with us some of the factual changes you'd have made that would have kept it a 50/50 entertainment-wise also? It's hard to agree or disagree with you without hearing anything of your vision, and I'm interested in what changes you'd make given the clear passion you have, but with your outright dismissal of the creatives' due-diligence through the podcast its difficult to see.
I'm not saying you're right or wrong but I tend to feel the changes made for dramatization kept the emotional weight of the issue intact in a way that clinical factual presentation sometimes fails to account for. I'm curious as to how you envision the emotive weight to be fostered outside out the simple weight of the facts, and it would probably help others discuss this as well if there were more direct reference to your intent.

Don't ask or read more about it. It fits with your favorites but knowing less is better for the full ride.

Shes a fantastic writer and this post smells like the internet from 2010.

Sure, you can watch a bunch of movies in the time it takes to watch a season of TV.
But you can watch like five episodes of tv per movie.
Pump those numbers, baybeeee.

Reply to I like The Wire but it's seriously flawed by Bushgjl
Oh look, the daily "The Wire Isn't Good" post is up.
This one is hitting the good hallmarks, guys. We've got whining about not having black and white good guys to care about. We've got unneccesasry Sopranos comparisons. We've got a deeply defensive OP responding to all comments.
Honestly, probably the best Downvote Collector since yesterday.

Yeah, I don't see other people acting like they're the Fantano of this sub. Nobody else is commonly scoring shows. No one else is linking their other posts in comments. No one is compiling lists of their posts to self-aggrandize. And worst of all, your responses to disagreeing comments are dismissive and haughty, and discourage actual conversation about the shows you're bringing up. You assert your half-formed opinions like they're fact and "bruh" all comments to the contrary. You're everything terrible about people expressing their opinion online, and you don't seem to be hearing how many people are not a fan of your work.

Hey, at least they actually fucking finished this one before posting. But yeah five in one day is a lot even for this person. I wish r/television had rules about blog-style posts... Oh wait.

These posts always seem like someone seeking validation that something is bad, while not willing to say they think it's bad in case that's unpopular.
Maybe you just don't like MQ S3. Maybe there's nothing wrong with it, or you. Some stuff is just always gonna fall flat for someone.

BoJack Horseman is mostly about fleeing from your own mental illness and the actions that flight can cause.
Be forewarned, I've heard multiple anecdotal accounts that its TOO sympathetic at times and can make those issues worse for some. YMMV

Reply to Are you shocked they never did a House spinoff with Chase being the new House and Foreman being the new Cuddy? I'm sure everyone would've liked the paycheck and FOX could've had a big show with how young the cast was at the time. by herewego199209
Why aren't there stories about Watson and Lestrade solving crimes post-Reichenbach? Because that's just not the interesting part.

Reply to 'The Winchesters' plot holes and retconning might be a sign that the story takes place in an alternate universe from 'Supernatural' by sundaynightheat99
I assume there's gonna be a point where John has to do some big sacrifice thing where he has to leave his memories of Mary and hunting behind in order to save the world from God's Mistake Angels or some shit, and it all just retcons back to how it should be so the showrunners can be smug and pretend like they didn't ruin continuity. Its crazy on-brand for Supernatural, the question is whether they get to that plot point before CW folds and they get canceled.

There's an overall story, but its mostly just Tony. Whether he's a good or bad man, whether he wants to be, how he relates to the business that has been his entire life and the people around him...
There's not a "main arc" that doesn't depend on Tony, its more how the little things affect and change him, and how those consequences beget others, particularly inside of people.
