Loved that reveal, too. Is this maybe the first times that kind of reveal has been done? (Same spoiler, don't read cause it is really good)
>!I mean a covid reveal as a punchline to a joke about how it's going to fuck over everyone's entire next 2 years.!<
It was honestly really clever, and I wouldn't be shocked to see this same joke pop up in other media.

Elim Garak, Deep Space Nine
He constantly straddles the line between anti-hero and anti-villain, often serving his own interests. He usually has the best lines in the show, and serves as a window into the often confusing Cardassian culture.

Why did networks stop airing children's programming from 3-5 everyday is the question and you got links.

The scene at the start of the ep, where he is just staring at Jason Segal (Jimmy), but insists he is talking to Sean. So goooood.

Reply to comment by starsandbribes in Is “The Shield” episodic? by saulgoodman673
I know they are very different lol, but it felt better to compare it to a show like that than a show like The Wire or something which felt much more serialised than episodic, despite being similar genre wise.

I do think that streaming culture and instant access to multiple seasons has changed how we watch tv now, and it’s also making our attention span change. I hop between shows and work my way through slowly, a few episodes at a time and then watch something else.

I can’t blame Starz, they have marketed this to the best of their abilities in my opinion. They just don’t have a lot of reach.

That seems to be the case for most revivals and Rob Thomas's other big 00's show Veronica Mars is a good example. Lots of talk and then people don't actually care when it comes back. Hopefully it's just a Friday thing and people watch over the weekend.

Hollywood didn’t fuck up. Ford picks what he wants to do.

Yeah. For as much as this show came up in this subreddit over the last decade I’d have expected more fanfare. A lot of the articles about the revival made it pretty far up the front page. I really hope this does well, I already want a season four after just one episode.
I feel like Starz has done their very best to market the hell out of this, so I can’t blame them.

Shit I think the look on his face after all the guys pull guns on him in the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is hilarious too.

Season 2 was great. Season 3 on the other hand…

Mr. Snuffie was ALWAYS able to be seen by everyone. He wasn't invisible, he just had bad timing, and after 15 years of people basically gaslighting Big Bird the writers decided to get rid of the whole lesson of "sometimes adults won't believe the truth no matter how distressed their disbelief makes you".

There's plenty of reasons for disliking something.
The reason people usually give when that reason is "they're ignorant" is, "because it's stupid".
When they understand an idea, they can usually articulate why they don't like it 😉

I stopped watching for no particular reason in season 2 but these cast choices have made me want to finish the series
