When I saw the image of this secret before reading it I thought it was an odd Phoenix Wright secret.

Please expand the ships names. I am curious! I am a Gintama fan but have never delved into the fandom side of it.

The fact that both Hercules and Hades are MAGA is an eternal mindfuck.

[(Anonymous)]

That may well be one of the most nonsensical, idiotic "arguments" I've ever seen. And lord knows I've seen quite a few in the last few years. WTF?

Truly amazing how some people have just taken complete leave of anything resembling logic and critical thinking skills.

Okay, that is fucking hilarious, roast him!

If they had new ideas, they wouldn't keep doing reboot after reboot.

[(Anonymous)]

Oi vey. Get some new fucking ideas already

I hate it too but I have to assume that they're responding to the observed behavior of users of streaming sites.

People are more likely to click on a series if it has a franchise name that they already recognize, or failing that if it has an obvious high-concept genre hook to pull them in quickly. People are more likely to continue watching a series if it has a propulsive serial element to carry them through. The streaming services do actually have data on what people watch. They insist on making new product that exploits existing IPs and they insist on serial elements, and they're probably not doing it because they're just morons.

I think they're probably wrong to *some* extent. In particular, I think they could benefit from dialling back the serial elements a little, giving shows more room to breath, and emphasizing the episode-by-episode journey a little more. The push for serialization isn't entirely down to viewer preference; some of it is probably because it's cheaper, especially if it allows you to do a show that's 8 episodes a season rather than a show that's 20 episodes a season.

But, yeah, a lot of this is that this is what the audience actually wants. The same way that Disney theatrical releases are actually very good at identifying what moviegoers empirically want - arguably better at it than any other studio in history.

Oh good grief, I'll pass this and every other remake from now on. I just tried watching the new episodes of Law & Order, since they resurrected the series (and hey, Hugh Dancy), but it's just awful. I'd rather rewatch the older series, and that's what I'll do with QL.

I remember blondes being the sweet and nice protagonists when I was growing up and brunettes being the bitchy mean girls, so this secret’s interesting to me. I have black hair and I used to wish I was blonde so I could be pretty too.

Walter Koenig as Bester is fabulous. You can almost see him delighting in how much he's playing against type.

You ever want to make a secret but realize everyone will know it was you (named user here). But you mostly want to do it to spark discussion about something you love?

Games thread!

Thank you to the kind nonny who explained the joke yesterday

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, nonny. For some reason I’m a day behind in Worldle, so I was still looking at Nauru and couldn’t understand what people were saying at all.
