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.

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.

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.

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".
