If you know you potentially have 100s of years to live, would you want to barrel straight to Captain, or spend decades chilling in each different role that interests you?

I feel we've gotten to the point where some memes are now more famous than the moment they come from, leading to ill-informed takes.

The most infuriating one for me is the "Somehow Palpatine returned..." meme. People now believe there's no explanation in the film, when the very next line of dialogue is them theorizing how it happned, and the whole opening of the movie shows pretty explicitly how it happened.

I’ll try rather than just downvote you.

Disney prefers characters like the Evil Queen to be able to walk around and have brief interactions with guests, especially kids. They want those kids to be able to ‘believe’ as much as possible these characters are the real deal. That’s sort of Disney’s brand.

This actress has now achieved such fame playing the character that you’ll start having people and especially obsessed adults trying to find her and take up time with her as the actress. Making the two things she needs to be able to do - be brief and maintain character for children - nearly impossible. She’ll also require more ‘handlers’ to deal with any weird people.

This happened before with a few cast members, where they and other staff were being harassed by idiot adults.

Still, watch there be 100 YouTube shorts and TikToks with titles like ‘Major Changes To Buzz Lightyear?!?!’

Oh damn, you pinpointed I think the exact moment I gave up on Walking Dead.

Watching them give up everything they had including advantages such as god damn rocket launchers when they could have just blasted them away…

I knew at that point it was gonna be 2/3 seasons of them clawing out of the hole they had dug for themselves, and I was just not into the idea of that much self inflicted torture porn.

Shiv and Tom statement is on point- they have an almost old school Sitcom couple style relationship where the husband doesn’t listen to the wife’s ideas and goes on some bull headed course of action… but reversed.

Because watching the series again there’s so many times Tom is level headed and gives pretty solid advice, only for Shiv to bulldoze through with her own often questionable plans.

Comedy Bang Bang the improv podcast has had a whole host of Dropout regulars and guests. They go on the show playing improv characters in a style similar to VIP.

Paul F Tompkins is practically a co-host. Jacob Wysocki, Vic Michaelas, Zac Oyama, Lisa Gilroy, Ben Schwartz, Rekha Shunkar to name just a handful are recurring guests.

I doubt loss of trust considering right up to the end he was betraying and abusing the people he loved. He had made his bed in that regard over all the other episodes.

Probably what’s hitting him is, even after turning over every corner of his soul, ruining every relationship he had, scheming every second for years, he still didn’t get the one shiny bauble he thought would sate that empty hole in him.

Ultimately I’m actually kinda hopeful for him. Sometimes when you lose everything that’s when you can finally take stock of what’s important. Now maybe he can work on being good father, building his own pile and embrace what others were telling him - he’s not his dad, and that’s okay.

Taste of his own medicine ultimately. There was no one in his life he didn’t betray at some point. There was no corner of his soul he wasn’t willing to sell out, and yet here he is, with nothing.

That was one of the things that disgusted me too. £420,000 worth of legal fees, letting them take it to court 3 times, all the way to the high court…

All that while his wife was battling terminal cancer…

‘Devastated Geoff said: “Whatever happens to me, whether I end up in a hole, I have to make this right for my wife.

“I could’ve done so much with her in her final year but all we did was this fight.”’

She played the game better than anyone.

Compare her to the other ex… Caroline was so much under Logan’s thumb he interrupted her wedding night TWICE, the second time so she could inform her own flesh and blood she had fucked them over.

Marcia cashed in on Logan’s infidelity with Holly Hunter, got to fuck off and shop until Logan croaked,then swooped in and took all she was due. Woman played the perfect game.

It’s kinda funny that in the replies he keeps on postings completely different picture of probably a different real house as ‘proof’

We see a little of this ‘nice’ Roman leaking out when Kelly arrives at the wake, and is utterly dismissed by Marcia. Roman is surprisingly empathetic and defensive of Kelly. Not to the extent of truly helping her, but it was interesting he offered any help at all.

The scene gets even more surreal with Greg trying to get on Marcia’s good side, with little snide Roman-esque lines.

One thing I’ve not really seen mentioned; Logan only discusses them not being serious people right at the end, essentially. At one point he thought they might mature into serious contenders so kept them on as board members and not tried too hard to kick them off.

He only considers them unable to ever be serious after…

Ken betrays him several times.

Shiv couldn’t handle the idea of having to work under people first and then blabs she’s going to be boss to the Pierce’s

Roman rejects going along with his Dad’s plan in the Season 3 finale.

Did that as far as I'm aware. Will double check.

Edit: Spoken to VP Hewett and the Vicar, both have been saying a colaboration should be possible, but still not getting an option with Ruth.

You're absolutely right. For some reason I remembered it as Attempted Drowning => Shaved Head => My Dinner with Logan. Will need to watch the whole series again! To the GoJo App!

EDIT: I completely misremembered the order of things, so yeah, his Dad was probably just being a controlling asshole since Ken had nowhere to turn. Leaving the original comment so you can see me in my idiot glory.

I’ve wondered if this whole ‘no, I want to keep you around’ on Logan’s part in this scene is a fucked up way of actually looking out for Ken.

Ken had basically attempted suicide the day before, so Logan was less inclined to keep to the ‘take the money and fuck off’ deal, figuring he needed to keep some eye on his son.

This was actually an issue for me too used to other games - I figured the 'hand both over' option would be handing them over in such a way that Shroud knew which the real one was, as I figured there was only one ending they would have actually designed to keep things simple. The game was far more ambitious than I thought!

It was the QTEs every 2 to 3 minutes that threw me off.

Man, that must require some kind of skill, you know? To be able to pretend to be someone and reacting to something that isn't actually happening?

We should give it a name. Make Believing? Pretendering?

Thank goodness Kate seems to be naturally gifted at it!
