Reply to "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters
He needs to go full Leslie Nielsen and become a deadpan comedy movie star. Leslie was a "normal" actor his entire career until Airplane in 1980

They made the right choice to cut it if they weren't going to dive deeper into what's happening in the riverlands.

? Are you actually serious?
Yeah i was totally gonna not watch the last season of a show i've been watching/following/reading books about for years... ?
I have no idea if you're actually serious or just a troll, genuinely no idea.
Season 7 was bad and riddled with mistakes, ofcourse everyone also watched season 8 just to watch the train derail and burn completely.
Bro what are your comments genuinely?

What Lies Beneath is a great movie, and I will never understand why the trailer completely spoils the twist.

Nobody quite sells pathetic desperation like Ken Marino. He's got the willy loman schtick down.

> GoT went from a 9-10/10 rated show to 2-3/10 at best.
this is exactly what i'm talking about, this is a completely ridiculous opinion.
you still watched every episode. you were so engaged that you cant let it go until today, years after it's over. thats a fucking 2 out of 10? lmao. what rating is the other 95% of garbage pumped out by every studio constantly?
it was entertaining to you as well, you just cant admit it because of the narrative that arose.
if it wasnt, you would have stopped watching it.

Amazing how difficult it is to pull off deadpan when you're baked all the time.

I hope he blows himself in a wheelchair again. It would make the show interesting again.

I got my first Job out of college thanks to my roomates Dad. He worked for the company in another department. He headed the hardware side of IT. They lost a software engineer and I had just graduated with my degree in software engineering. He told me to apply and I did.
I still needed to get thourgh the interview process, but his recommendation helped me as a fresh college grad with no industry experience. It's turned out great. I got a job my direct supervisors very happy with my preformance, and I got promoted recently, but without that connection there is no garuntee I would have got my foot in the door.
Connections are important they can open doors and give you opportunities. As long as you got the talent and skill to capitalize on those opportunities it's fine imo.

Though be mindful that watching too many shows at once might just result in a different kind of burnout.

To be fair (I haven’t read the books too for what it’s worth), do we know it doesn’t go anywhere? I was under the impression it was kind of still developing as of the end of the most recent book.

Reply to comment by jeremy-o in Three of the very biggest shows on right now (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian and Yellowstone) are western inspired by RusevReigns
Yeah people are equating Mandalorian and TLoU because both feature Pedro Pascal travelling while protecting a child but the former is far more western inspired than the latter.

Reply to comment by preppytarg in Apple takes another step towards ads on TV Plus by Mandelmus100
This. There's basically Netflix which is consistently profitable and everything else is either in the red or might have a year where they barely are profitable before going back under. It's a total money suck because most of these came late to the party and have to compete with all the other people entering an over saturated market.
Right now I think the big ones are just waiting for the rest to give up and die off.

I know of him but so far only seen him in The Last of Us. What's the show those quotes are from?
E:oops, was thinking of Offerman, not Cross. Derp.

Shae was a much more interesting character in the show and giving her the same book fate made no sense to me. Season doesn’t work for me for that reason. Wish they went off book for her.

Literally no one said this mate
> and were still fairly entertaining.
Dude, now you're just making me laugh. If that was entertaining to you then holy shit lol. GoT went from a 9-10/10 rated show to 2-3/10 at best.
GoT was a global and cultural phenomenom in it's prime, and you're surprised people are still sad it got butchered towards the end? Man please, complete nonsense of a comment

Reply to comment by GeronimoSonjack in Is “The Shield” episodic? by saulgoodman673
The strike team deal with a lot of episodic storylines as well in the first couple of seasons and there are instances where Vic's storyline overlaps with Dutch/Claudette and others at the station.
The show is constantly building on itself, it's definitely not a procedural that resets to a baseline at the end of every episode but yeah it's also not accurate to say it's fully serialised.
I think it's a good balance for long form storytelling, it gives the characters time to breathe, the world feels more realised when it's not constantly about the high stakes main plotline.
